Chapter 743: I’m in Love with Someone Else
"Got it—"
This time, An Mingji’s voice returned to its initial hoarseness again.
Gu Jin didn’t mind, she walked towards the door, opened it, and left.
Tonight, Kasi had indeed prepared a sumptuous dinner and wine, even romantically lighting two candlesticks on the table.
"Good evening, Miss Gu."
"Good evening—"
Gu Jin greeted and made a stop gesture to Duoduo who was rushing towards her.
The latter immediately stopped and sat down.
"Isn’t the Young Master awake yet?"
Kasi looked behind Gu Jin but didn’t see the Young Master.
Gu Jin walked to Duoduo, stroked its snow-white fur, and smiled, "He’s upstairs washing up, he’ll be down soon."
Saying that, the tall and handsome figure upstairs appeared before the two of them.
Kasi sensibly slipped away.
Gu Jin stood downstairs, looking up at An Mingji, and cheerfully said, "Quick speed, come down for dinner."
An Mingji, who was already stepping down the stairs, heard her first half sentence, slipped slightly, and almost fell forward.
Even though he knew there was no discriminatory intent in Gu Jin’s words, An Mingji inexplicably felt uneasy.
Moreover, the literal meaning of her sentence hurt him.
He’s not slow!
He swears by the honor of the Darwin Family.
Alas, their words weren’t on the same page.
An Mingji awkwardly stabilized himself, his cool face slightly flushed.
In the future, he would make sure Jin understood that some words shouldn’t be spoken lightly.
Gu Jin didn’t notice his odd behavior; she smiled warmly, watching An Mingji walk down to her, and they entered the atmospheric dining room hand in hand.
As for Duoduo, it happily followed along.
Its dinner was also at the corner of the dining table.
...
While Gu Jin and An Mingji were together.
At the Beijing Saint No Hotel, Yu Shuo was having dinner with the Princess, Han Yixuan, in an upscale restaurant.
Yu Shuo was now a highly sought-after eligible bachelor in the noble circles of Beijing.
Many noble daughters had their eyes on him.
Not only because he was working alongside Prince Rong but also because his father was about to enter Beijing and join the Cabinet.
Entering the Cabinet signaled that the Yu Family was stepping up, reaching the threshold of Beijing’s elite families.
Today, Yu Shuo and Han Yixuan were dining together without any matchmaking.
Only because they were classmates, and as a Princess, Han Yixuan had set her sights on Yu Shuo.
Han Yixuan had some fruit wine tonight, its aftereffects making her slightly tipsy.
At this moment, her eyes were hazy as she looked at the handsome Yu Shuo sitting across from her.
Her voice carried a husky allure as she asked, "Have you given my proposal any thought?"
Yu Shuo was leisurely slicing his steak, and as he lifted his gaze, his eyes, a mix of calmness and amusement, just looked at Han Yixuan like that.
He had grasped all the powers in Beijing over the past few years.
The Royal Family’s authority wasn’t as omnipotent as ordinary people perceived it, thus it was not intimidating to him.
He smiled and spoke, "I refuse."
Refusing to marry the woman in front of him, refusing to tie the Yu Family to a member of the Royal Family.
Han Yixuan’s foxy eyes narrowed slightly, her previously dazed face turning stern, "Aren’t you afraid of offending my father, that the Yu Family’s entry into the Cabinet might change?"
Yu Shuo placed the cut steak into his mouth, chewing slowly.
The smile on his face remained unchanged, "I trust that Your Majesty won’t involve my family over this matter. Don’t be afraid to tell the Princess, I already have someone I love."
