Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: You Still Have Me, I’ll Stay With You

Qiu Qianghai couldn’t help shaking his head with a wry smile.

Even after checking again and again, he was sure he absolutely did not know the woman in front of him.

He didn’t understand where those complicated feelings were coming from, but Gu Jin really suited his temperament.

She spoke and handled things very cleanly, and didn’t beat around the bush.

The only thing that displeased him was that his bedroom had been taken over by a dirty little brat.

When he heard Li Qingfeng mention this, his temper flared up; just as he was about to charge into the room and throw the person out, Gu Jin appeared.

She was a beauty—everyone’s happy to look a few extra times, especially at a beauty one has a good impression of—and the little burst of temper slowly dispersed.

"Boss Qiu?"

An old man’s aged voice came from the phone.

The call had been picked up.

Qiu Qianghai immediately pressed the phone to his ear: "Old Chen, I’ve got a thousand-year-old ginseng here. Do you have time?"

Hearing that it was a thousand-year-old ginseng, the person on the other end grew so excited he started stuttering.

"Yes, yes! That is... anyway I absolutely have time! Where are you, kid? You’re not fooling me, are you?!"

Qiu Qianghai laughed: "It’s real. I’m at Haijiang Hotel, awaiting your honored arrival."

"Wait there!"

By the time Qiu Qianghai hung up, Gu Jin was already gone.

She didn’t feel at ease leaving An Mingji alone in the room; she kept thinking about him.

When she opened the bedroom door and saw the big bed empty, Gu Jin’s pupils abruptly constricted.

Little An was gone!

She stepped into the room and flipped back the quilt; the bed was empty.

But Little An’s presence was still in the room.

Following his scent, Gu Jin quickly reached the bathroom.

The door was tightly closed, and from inside came low, muffled sobbing.

In that moment, Gu Jin didn’t have time to think about anything; she shoved the door open hard.

Inside, sprawled on the wet floor, An Mingji’s utterly bedraggled figure came into Gu Jin’s view just like that.

Hearing the door slam open, An Mingji jerked his head around.

A faint acrid smell in the bathroom hit her in the face.

Gu Jin stared in disbelief at An Mingji, lying in the water.

He actually found even relieving himself this... difficult now.

How... how was she supposed to accept this!

Tears in Gu Jin’s eyes slid down her cheeks as she walked toward An Mingji, struggling in the water.

She bent down, ignoring the stench and the disarray on his body, and gently gathered him into her arms.

"Little An..."

Endless pity and heartache spilled out in a self-reproachful sigh.

Gu Jin just wanted to call out to him; she didn’t dare hope for him to respond.

Holding him, she came to the bathtub, gently set An Mingji down inside, and turned on the water.

Gu Jin hesitated for a long time before speaking softly: "If anything happens, call for me. Don’t... hold out alone. You still have me. I’ll stay with you, I’ll help you."

She stroked An Mingji’s thin arms and legs, her voice choked and pained.

An Mingji lowered his eyes, not even glancing at her, and said nothing.

His hands, their grime softened away by the water, were tightly clenched together, showing that his emotions were far from as calm as his surface.

Gu Jin carefully and thoroughly washed his body.

She didn’t even forget that place.

Right now, in Gu Jin’s eyes, An Mingji was just a child.

Not the man who could support her and make her feel safe.

An Mingji did feel a bit embarrassed, but his legs couldn’t move; even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn’t.

Aside from his grandma, this was the first time a woman had treated him so well.

In the water, Gu Jin cautiously ran her hand over An Mingji’s deformed leg.

It was obvious his leg had been crushed by something heavy; the bones shattered, subjected to a brutally twisted, devastating injury.
