Chapter 742: As Intimate as Lovers
Gu Jin’s senses were infinitely magnified.
The inexplicable quickened heartbeat downstairs earlier returned once more.
She kept her body perfectly still, trying to distance herself from An Mingji, who had already fallen into a deep sleep behind her.
Gu Jin’s movements were extremely careful and slight, fearing she might disturb him.
Only after moving away from the position that made her face flush with embarrassment did she slowly exhale a breath.
Gu Jin thought that this would be the last time the two would be so close.
In the future, she really should be more cautious, no longer behaving as they did before.
Today she had a deep understanding of what it means to maintain a distinction between men and women.
As Gu Jin subtly separated herself from An Mingji’s embrace, she didn’t see the hint of a mischievous smile that curled on the lips of the young man behind her.
That smile bore a resoluteness and satisfaction, with an indescribable charm.
An Mingji had made a vow when he left.
When he returned, A Jin would surely belong to him.
This was just the beginning.
He would step by step reach into A Jin’s heart, so she would forever adapt to his presence.
First, he needed to make clear to her that he was a man of emotions and desires, capable and reliable, someone she could depend on.
As if in his sleep, An Mingji let out a displeased hum, sensing the loss of warmth in his arms.
Reaching out as if searching, he quickly pulled Gu Jin back into his embrace once more.
This time, he avoided awkwardness, keeping those particularly intrusive parts tactfully distant from her.
Gu Jin originally thought An Mingji had woken up, her heartbeat quickening once more.
Her body reflexively tensed up, and even her breathing became quieter.
The breaths beside her ear remained steady, and only after a while did Gu Jin relax, slowly loosening her body.
This time, she didn’t escape as before.
Simply because the factors causing her discomfort and embarrassment were no longer present.
Perhaps her emotions had been too tightly wound previously, and once she relaxed, Gu Jin’s eyelids grew heavy.
In no time, she, like An Mingji, fell into a deep sleep.
The two held each other tightly, like the closest lovers in the world.
The rich, warm woody scent belonging to An Mingji intertwined with Gu Jin’s delicate fragrance, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and gentle aroma in the room.
Dusk descended.
When Gu Jin opened her eyes and awoke, she found the large bed had only her alone.
She slowly sat up, her face reflecting the languidness and ease of just having woken up.
Surveying the empty bedroom, confusion was still evident in Gu Jin’s eyes.
Until the sounds from the bathroom caught her attention.
She called out towards the bathroom, "Xiao An?"
"Here!"
The person inside quickly responded to her.
But An Mingji’s voice carried a hint of hoarseness, like a cold, with a deep and slightly magnetic tone.
Like the entwining night breeze, extra alluring.
Gu Jin reached up to gather her loose hair back into place, and she got up to put on her shoes, heading towards the bathroom.
Standing at the bathroom door, she asked, "What happened to your voice, do you have a cold?"
Engrossed with Princess Five in a reluctant reunion, An Mingji’s handsome, bewitching face bore a trace of annoyance.
He hadn’t expected Gu Jin to wake up so quickly.
He had only just come in.
Biting his lip at the predicament, he adjusted his state and spoke out, "No, I’m just taking a bath."
A low chuckle echoed from within.
This time, An Mingji’s voice was much more normal.
The worry in Gu Jin’s heart subsided.
She glanced at the already drawn curtains, the outside world dim, the streetlights in the neighborhood all aglow.
Unanticipated, they had slept so late, Gu Jin reached up to rub her eyes, "At this hour, Kasi has probably finished making dinner, I’ll go check, you freshen up and get ready to come downstairs for dinner."
