Chapter 1116: Xiao An Secretly Up to No Good

Even Allen, who was closest to him, couldn’t find out.

An Mingji’s eyes grew increasingly deep and dark, with a hint of longing revealing itself. He could see through Gu Jin’s beautiful eyes beneath him, witnessing the possessive desire about to be exposed in his own gaze.

Breathing became unstable, the calm facade on his face was about to crack.

An Mingji forcefully closed his eyes, hiding everything that was about to be revealed through his gaze by shutting them tight.

When he opened his eyes again, both his handsome, refined features and his affectionate, peach-blossom eyes had regained tranquility.

"Little An, what’s wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Gu Jin gave An Mingji a push.

He had been just fine, but suddenly his complexion became unpleasant for a moment. Although it was brief, she still caught it.

An Mingji’s hand clenched tightly against the sofa beside her, his voice gentle and calm: "It’s nothing, just thinking of something."

His hand gradually relaxed, stood up as if nothing had happened, and he helped Gu Jin, who had fallen onto the sofa, get up.

Gu Jin asked persistently: "What did you remember? Is it about the time you fought with the Evil Puppet?"

"Yes, they did seem a bit afraid of me."

An Mingji wasn’t lying.

Gu Jin’s words did indeed make him recall a few details.

Allen and his subordinates sustained some injuries when they confronted the Evil Puppet.

When he joined the fight against the Evil Puppet, they clearly only defended against him, without attacking Allen and the others as viciously.

"Really? Are you sure you’re not hurt?"

Gu Jin recalled what was recorded in books: once someone is injured by an Evil Puppet, the wound would fester and rot, possibly even damaging one’s foundation, and her face turned somewhat unsightly.

She directly reached out to touch An Mingji’s body.

Of course, she touched him through the fabric of his clothing.

Nevertheless, that was enough to overwhelm An Mingji.

He had always suppressed his feelings for Gu Jin, and his dark possessive desire towards her.

Now, she was actually taking the direct approach.

This really leaves him no peace!

An Mingji’s body was tense, feeling Gu Jin’s hands moving back and forth over him.

Until those slender, delicate fingers finally settled on the buttons of his pajamas, An Mingji’s expression changed dramatically.

He raised his hand quickly, pressing down on Gu Jin’s hand that was about to make a move.

Gu Jin looked up, confused, her beautiful eyes clear and lovely, captivating.

"It’s late, A-Jin, get some rest. Tomorrow we need to take people to the mine, I’ll go upstairs to sleep first." An Mingji’s voice was hoarse. If listened to carefully, a subtle tremor could still be heard.

He released Gu Jin’s hand, stood up abruptly, and strode to the stairs.

His footsteps were hurried and chaotic, an obvious escape.

If An Mingji didn’t leave now, he’d embarrass himself in front of Gu Jin.

In her presence, his self-control in certain areas was almost nonexistent.

An Mingji dared to bet that if Gu Jin made any move in the next second, he would dare to expose all his emotions in front of her.

This was absolutely no joke.

Over the past two years, An Mingji’s interaction with the "Five-finger Princess" had been very friendly, they were familiar with each other.

So familiar that even with closed eyes, he knew the form of each muscle.

Gu Jin was different. Her proactive closeness often made An Mingji’s thoughts run wild, conjuring up many extreme and unspeakable scenarios.

Not to mention, her actions just now were teasing him.

If he didn’t find an excuse to leave, who knows who’d end up embarrassed!

An Mingji left swiftly, disappearing from view at the stairwell corner as Gu Jin glanced up.

Both of their bedrooms were on the second floor and they were adjacent.

An Mingji fled like a gust of wind, returned to his room, and closed the door with a bang.

Gu Jin, sitting on the sofa downstairs, heard the loud door slam and a mischievous smile curled up the corners of her lips.

Did she just scare someone?

That brat is really easily scared.

Initially, Gu Jin was sincerely concerned, checking if An Mingji had any injuries.

Then she saw his body tense up, and he seemed to stop breathing, finding it amusing, she couldn’t resist teasing him.

She hadn’t expected that this kid wasn’t able to take a tease.

Now that An Mingji had gone, the fun was lost, Gu Jin didn’t linger much longer in the hall and went upstairs.

For tomorrow’s trip to the mine, she also planned to join in for the excitement.

Without seeing it firsthand, she couldn’t be certain if the things in the mine were truly Evil Puppets.

...

An Mingji returned to his room, shut the door, and immediately opened the window.

The night breeze hit him.

As time passed by, under the influence of the night wind, the hormone-driven colored thoughts in An Mingji’s mind gradually cleared up.

In the quiet space, the door next door moved slightly, as if gently opened and then slowly closed.

If it weren’t for having a superpower, An Mingji would almost miss these tiny sounds.

He knew Gu Jin had returned to her room.

Now, with his mind clear, An Mingji finally came to understand.

Earlier downstairs, Gu Jin was definitely teasing him.

Whether it was her feigned bold behavior or the expression on her face, he had ignored them all while being tense.

In the silent room, a suppressed yet pleasant laughter sounded.

An Mingji raised his hand to the glass, his features like a painting, the noble beauty under the moonlight seemed to walk out from a portrait, and his lips curved in a sensuous and alluring arc, making beauty an insufficient description.

After laughing enough, An Mingji lowered his gaze, revealing a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

Even though his mind was clear, his body was reluctant to return to normal.

The aftermath of Gu Jin’s words and actions left little Mingji still overly excited.

Looks like another exploration and exchange with the Five-finger Princess is needed.

An Mingji casually closed the window and turned towards the bathroom.

As the door closed, he carefully set up a barrier.

Gu Jin possessed cultivation too, as long as she was in the mood, anything he did in this room would be clear to her.

To do something bad without being discovered, setting up a barrier was the safest way.

In the quiet room, the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

All the excitement, repression, and joy in the room were blocked by the barrier.

Gu Jin slept soundly in the adjacent room, completely unaware that someone was imagining her image.

Doing unspeakable, inexplicably shameful things.

Time slipped by unknowingly.

Over an hour later, the bathroom’s barrier in the next room was finally removed.

An Mingji opened the bathroom door, letting the steam from the hot water dissipate.

His footsteps turned back, again entering the bathroom, standing before the mirror, wiping it clean of steam.

The elegant and powerful slender physique was visible in the mirror, the youth’s posture was both free and wild, exuding an exquisite sensuality and allure.

This figure emitting an enticing, seductive appearance was truly undisguisable.

It made it immediately clear what he had just done.

An Mingji’s handsome face was nearly exotic, now devoid of the usual coldness, tinged in crimson.

His affectionate eyes carried a hint of moisture, inexplicably captivating, tempting others to fall deeply into his soulful gaze.

The usually pale lips became vibrant and rosy due to the recent excitement.
