Chapter 969: The Man Filled with Sorrow

An Ming shook her head, "I’m currently filming Director Cheng’s ’Women are Strong’, let’s talk about it later, I’m in the final stages now."

The doctor had said there was something in her brain, and she only had a few years left to live.

She didn’t want anyone to know about it for now.

Before Gu Jiajie could speak, Gu Jin said, "It’s fine, whatever you want. We need to go home as well, so we can take you back."

"Okay." An Ming gratefully glanced at her.

Gu Jiajie’s slightly opened mouth slowly closed.

He reluctantly saw off An Ming, Gu Jin, and An Mingji.

Standing downstairs, he stared intently at An Ming who was getting into the car.

As if sensing something, she turned back and locked eyes with his longing, pained gaze.

She didn’t feel good either, a dull ache crept into her heart.

But she wore a shy smile on her face and nodded slightly to Gu Jiajie.

Although they were siblings, bonded by blood, An Ming’s distant gaze made Gu Jiajie feel even worse inside.

Gu Jin, sitting next to An Ming, turned and waved to Gu Jiajie standing outside the car, "Jiajie, we’re leaving, call you later."

"Sure, take it slow on the road."

Gu Jiajie still couldn’t bear to take his eyes off An Ming.

Gu Jin said, "Got it, I’ll definitely ensure Minmin’s safe return."

Watching as the car drove away, Gu Jiajie stood motionless for a long time.

The cold night wind swept in, and Gu Jiajie shivered slightly before turning to go upstairs.

...

The next day, the weather was clear, a rare good day.

An Ming got up early and finished getting ready, preparing to go to the set of ’Women are Strong’.

Lu Qing happened to arrive, with a pair of panda-like dark circles under his eyes, standing with a complex expression in front of An Ming.

Looking at the exotic-looking girl before him, his face was a mix of conflict and some unspeakable bitterness.

He hadn’t slept well all night, feeling like he was dreaming, everything seemed unreal.

He never expected that the girl he’d run into on the street would turn out to be his boss’s sister.

He must have been incredibly lucky to have his boss’s own sister signed under his management.

Meeting Lu Qing’s strange gaze, An Ming raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Someone who doesn’t know might think you’re deeply in love with me."

"Oh my god, don’t say that, I have a family." Lu Qing suddenly felt even more flustered.

An Ming laughed silently, crossing her arms while staring at him.

Wiping his face, Lu Qing resignedly asked, "An Ming, what’s your plan next?"

An Ming replied, "What do you mean?"

Seeing her as calm and unhurried as usual, without ambition, Lu Qing no longer felt the frustration he used to.

He truly saw An Ming’s nature clearly—she was someone who went with the flow, indifferent to everything.

Lu Qing patiently asked, "Your current status is not what it used to be. Do you have any other plans? Like leaving the entertainment industry or going back to school to complete your studies?"

After hearing the conversation with the boss last night, he learned that An Ming was only twenty.

For such a young girl, education was the only way, there was no future in the entertainment industry.

The boss hoped she would return to school to continue her studies.

"We’ll see." An Ming’s smile faded.

She wasn’t one to simply go with the flow, she just didn’t know how to handle these matters.

After reuniting with Gu Jiajie and Gu Jin last night, all that filled her mind was the man she’d met in Nanmian who was full of sadness.

She had a hunch that she definitely knew him, and that the two of them might have an unspeakable connection.
