Chapter 622: Xiao An Is Interested in Them
Duoduo knows that both its owners, as soon as this season arrives, have all kinds of dislikes for it.
Being pushed slightly, it obediently squats at the side, looking up at the female owner.
Seeing its obedient demeanor, Gu Jin rewards it with a pat on the head.
"Be good, I’ll go make breakfast for you both."
At this moment, Gu Jin has already forgotten Kasi’s presence, as she usually prepares breakfast for the two young ones at home.
She retracts her hand from Duoduo’s head and lazily walks toward the kitchen.
Then, she runs into Kasi, who is coming out wearing an apron.
Seeing Gu Jin being so down-to-earth but still unable to hide her inherent charm, Kasi is momentarily stunned but then naturally bows.
"Miss Gu, you’re up. I’ve prepared breakfast. Would you like to have it now?"
The girl in front of him is almost certainly going to be the future Young Madam of the Darwin Family; her demeanor is respectful yet courteous.
Seeing Kasi, the last bit of bewilderment within Gu Jin dissipates.
She slightly parts her lips, then gradually closes them.
In the end, she gives Kasi an awkward yet polite smile.
"I’ll go upstairs to wash up and change clothes first before coming down."
With that, Gu Jin turns around and quickly leaves.
In the past, when it was just her and An Mingji at home, she never cared about her attire or her disheveled state upon waking up.
Now with a stranger at home, she feels it is somewhat impolite otherwise.
After going upstairs, Gu Jin washes up and changes into casual clothes as quickly as possible, coming downstairs feeling refreshed.
Kasi is downstairs wiping the house’s furnishings, working efficiently in her neat attire as if very familiar with everything she does.
To say the least, there are indeed some valuable items in the living room on the first floor.
The redwood table placed in the center and several carved redwood chairs are worth about two hundred thousand, gifts from Liu Quan, who claimed they were found from the south.
Plus the two calligraphy paintings on the wall are said to be by a famous Tang dynasty figure.
An Mingji once mentioned how his grandmother was interested in such things in a chat with Elder Jiang, who insisted on gifting him two paintings before leaving.
The main reason is still An Mingji’s own interest in these famous paintings.
Against the wall are two tall blue-and-white porcelain pieces brought by Wanqi Yihai, the sixth of the Wanqi family, as congratulations for her housewarming.
Beside Duoduo’s wolf den is a raw stone said to definitely contain jade, brought back from Myanmar by Qiu Qianghai.
Not far away is a display case with several weapons.
Regardless if they are long or short ones, an ordinary person entering might be so scared they’d go weak in the knees seeing them.
Kasi walks up to the display case, takes a short gun, and skillfully wipes it.
Seeing Gu Jin coming downstairs, she slightly bends forward and casually asks, "Miss Gu, do you also like these things?"
"They’re okay, friends gave them, saying they are for self-defense."
Gu Jin has little interest in these things; they were given to her by the Wanqi Family.
Thinking of An Mingji’s occasional interest in these weapons, she changes the subject, "Xiao An is somewhat interested, occasionally studying them."
Upon hearing her words, Kasi’s eyes brighten.
She turns the weapon in her hand and, seeing the emblem on the gun’s body, smiles, "This is a weapon produced by the Darwin Family last year. If the young master likes, I’ll have someone send a batch of this year’s newest weapons over."
Gu Jin does not refuse, knowing that the Darwin Family controls the entire Underground City’s arms - she lightly nods to Kasi.
