Chapter 635: A Difficult Person to Get Along With
Gu Jiajie also knew that gaining experiences and understanding the world was beneficial for his sister.
He didn’t outright reject Gu Jin’s proposal.
Since Night Paradise was a club, it naturally had some grey areas; the entertainment activities upstairs and the princesses and handsome male attendants there could all withstand teasing.
However, all the staff there were present voluntarily and were not coerced by anyone.
When Gu Jiajie walked into the lounge, Gu Jin’s phone rang just at that moment.
She took out her phone and saw the caller ID was An Mingji.
Gu Jin recalled that when she had called him earlier, a strange girl had answered his phone, which left her feeling somewhat unsettled.
She pressed a button to answer the call, and immediately heard chaotic noise and singing from the other side.
"Ah Jin! I’m here, in room 8666 on the eighth floor!"
An Mingji’s tone was very cheerful, with a hint of amused laughter in his words.
"Really?"
Gu Jin asked in a bland tone, feeling low and lacking energy.
Due to the surrounding noise, An Mingji didn’t sense the difference in Gu Jin’s mood, and he continued, "Yeah! It was Manager Li (Li Qingfeng) who brought us up."
Finally, he asked somewhat expectantly, "Ah Jin, do you want to come up?"
Gu Jin glanced at her cousins Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin, who were about to go upstairs too, and she casually responded, "Okay—"
"Then I’ll wait for you!"
As soon as she said okay, An Mingji readily agreed with excitement.
Staring at the disconnected call, a look of confusion appeared on Gu Jin’s delicate face.
Gu Jiajie poured a glass of water in the lounge and turned to notice Gu Jin’s unusual expression, raising his eyebrows slightly, "What’s wrong?"
Putting away her phone, Gu Jin shrugged, "Nothing, just seems like Xiao An has got a girlfriend."
"Pfft—" Just after drinking a sip of water, Gu Jiajie spit it out because of her words.
"..." Gu Minmin’s eyes also widened in shock.
She stared at Gu Jin, blinking, with an incredulous look on her face.
Gu Jin was amused by her cousins, "What’s with your faces?"
"Can’t be, right?"
"It shouldn’t be possible."
The siblings spoke simultaneously, their words conveying a similar disbelief.
Neither of them believed that An Mingji would have a girl he’s seeing.
Gu Jin chuckled and shook her head, "Xiao An is already seventeen."
"Even so, it seems unlikely." Gu Jiajie wiped the water from the corner of his mouth. He walked towards Gu Jin with a serious look, "Xiao An seems gentle and polite to everyone, but his character is clearly proud and stubborn.
To put it bluntly, he’s not easy to get along with, so which girl would be able to approach him? I think there might be some misunderstanding here, did he tell you himself about the girl?"
Gu Jin heard her cousin speaking ill of Xiao An and showed a look of disagreement, clearly wanting to argue back.
When she heard the last sentence from Gu Jiajie, she opened her mouth, but couldn’t speak for a while.
Finally, she said confidently, "He didn’t say it himself, but when I called him earlier, a girl answered. With Xiao An’s character, how could he let someone unrelated handle his phone?"
Although she wanted to rebut her cousin, he did make a point. Regardless of whether it was a girl or someone else, it was hard for them to easily get close to Xiao An.
From their interactions over the years, she understood some aspects of An Mingji’s personality.
Xiao An’s pride and distant attitude towards people, she had seen it all.
