An Mingji’s suppressed pain and the feelings buried deep in his heart had nowhere else to hide.

She stood in front of Qianghai, tears in her eyes but with a smile on her face, obediently calling out "Brother Hai".

Upon hearing this, a blazing light emanated from the sorrowful and weathered eyes of the latter.

Qiu Qianghai broke away from Du Nan’s support, stumbled forward, and reached out to embrace the person he had lost and found again.

"Minmin, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

He was the cause of all the mistakes.

He let her down.

Born into an aristocratic family, he never took love seriously and prided himself on playing among the flowers without getting involved.

When he realized his feelings for Minmin, he chose to escape, because of the age difference between them.

By the time he repented, he had already lost her completely.

Now that he has found her again, how could he not be excited?

In his excitement, feelings of remorse and fear also welled up in his heart.

Minmin’s attitude earlier made him scared and uneasy.

The restraint in her eyes made him afraid. Had Minmin cut off all her feelings for him? Did she no longer want him?

Holding the girl he had lost and found again, Qiu Qianghai closed his eyes, experiencing a myriad of emotions.

He had countless thoughts, yet none could dispel the unease and anxiety inside.

Qiu Qianghai held Minmin tightly, but dared not look at her.

He feared this was just another dream, an illusion realm, and when he woke up, he would still be alone, facing one bottle of pills after another.

Their tightly entwined embrace was observed by Gu Jin, who couldn’t help but think of An Mingji.

If Minmin and Qianghai’s biggest obstacle was their age difference, then her inexplicable feelings for the child she raised herself were an obstacle between her and him, an even more confusing conundrum.

She still hadn’t figured out how she would interact with Little An in the future.

Recently, although she and Little An seemed no different than before, there was noticeably less physical contact, lacking the indulgence and intimacy of the past.

She didn’t understand Little An’s thoughts, nor could she imagine holding hands and leaning on each other with the child she had raised and protected.

Whenever she thought of it, an indescribable feeling of horror welled up in her heart.

It was as if there was a melancholy that violated moral principles, a suppression, and a trace of exhilaration.

An Mingji was her savior in a past life, she was willing to do anything for him, yet she never imagined having other feelings for him.

The weight of these feelings on her shoulders felt heavy.

Clearly, there was no blood relationship between them.

Just as she thought of An Mingji, Gu Jin’s phone rang.

In the quiet and oppressive atmosphere, the phone ringtone sounded particularly jarring.

Gu Jin quickly took out her phone, seeing it was a call from her child, she walked towards the balcony with the phone in hand.

Answering the call, her voice was also cold: "Little An, aren’t you supposed to be in class at this time?"

From the other end of the phone came the sound of a young boy’s slightly heavy breathing.

"Ah Jin, something has happened!"

An Mingji’s voice was solemn, with a heaviness to it.

It was a long time since Gu Jin heard his voice so serious, and she felt a sense of foreboding.

Gripping her phone involuntarily, she asked with increased weight: "What happened?"

An Mingji: "Uncle Gu had an incident, he disappeared in the Western region."

In Gu Jin’s eyes, a dark and unclear light swirled, her breathing a bit unstable: "When did this happen?"

An Mingji: "Just last night, Uncle Gu and his men got into a skirmish, lost most of their people, and Uncle Gu disappeared in Kunlun."

Gu Jin knew her father had taken people out on a mission before, having only said it was in the Western region and nothing more, she didn’t know the specific location either.
