Chapter 1371: Chapter 1372: Master Gu Descends from the Sky (4)
Following the woman’s finger, Nan Tong’s gaze landed on An Yiqing. In the instant he saw her, a flash of amazement passed through Nan Tong’s eyes, followed by an intense greed.
Nan Tong’s expression wasn’t hidden, and upon seeing the way he looked at An Yiqing, everyone around felt a shiver down their spines. Especially Sun Xing and Old Master Sun, not that they were worried about An Yiqing getting hurt, but rather they feared Nan Tong would offend her without knowing his limits.
The woman with Nan Tong arrived only after Old Master Nanfeng and Li Yuphei had left, and she was utterly unaware of the events involving An Yiqing and the Nan Family. Likewise, the newly arrived Nan Tong couldn’t possibly know these things. Both one being brainless and the other lustful, everyone was too lazy to warn them. Instead of intervening, most preferred to watch the spectacle.
"So you’re the one who hit my woman? What’s your name? Which family are you from? Do you know who you’ve offended?"
Looking at An Yiqing, Nan Tong was calculating how to get her, and the first thing he did was to probe into her background.
An Yiqing looked coldly at Nan Tong, "You’re not qualified to know my name. Your woman bumped into my child and not only didn’t apologize but also said some very unpleasant things. I’d like to know how the Third Young Master of the Nan Family has such poor taste to find such an uncultured woman who disgraces the Nan Family?"
Nan Tong’s face darkened, "You say I have poor taste?!"
An Yiqing gave a cold chuckle, "I wouldn’t dare! I just think the skill of the Third of the Nan Family in teaching his sons isn’t as talented as his business acumen!"
"What did you say?!" Nan Tong was furious; he hated people saying he relied on his parents’ advantage.
"Could it be that Third Young Master has indulged in excess and not only has his brain failed, but even his ears aren’t working?" An Yiqing laughed meaningfully.
"You little girl, say that again! You’re just a nobody. Do you believe that with my power, I can make it impossible for you to get by in Jinyin City?!"
Nan Tong’s words had just fallen—
"Do you believe I can ensure you die without a body!"
A deep voice rang out at the door, and An Yiqing’s body stiffened, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She turned her head sharply, her eager and shocked eyes landing accurately on the tall and erect figure at the door.
"Ah Lin..."
An Yiqing’s watery eyes slightly wavered, seemingly with tears glistening. How long had it been since she last saw him? Almost a month, right? He had lost weight, and his handsome features were even more chiseled. Those sharp eagle-like eyes were as bright as ever, and deep within them was that familiar trace of warmth and tenderness that belonged solely to her.
The sudden appearance of Gu Yelin left everyone stunned, all eyes were fixed on this man who seemed like a Dark Night Emperor.
Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Yelin steadily walked towards An Yiqing with his long, strong strides.
The crowd automatically dispersed, revealing a broad path. In that short distance, the two locked eyes from opposite ends, each step as if treading upon the other’s heart.
An Yiqing stood still, focusing on Gu Yelin as he approached step by step, her heart filled not with excitement but with a gentle sweetness and joy.
Within a few breaths, Gu Yelin was right in front of An Yiqing.
"You came?"
"Yes, I’m here."
"You’ve lost weight, have you not been eating well?"
"I missed you and couldn’t eat."
An Yiqing pouted, "Hmm, come home with me tonight for a good meal."
Gu Yelin nodded gently, "Alright."
