Chapter 2321 - 39: Comforting My Father-in-law (Part 2)

"Good night..."

"Mm."

Gu Xiran nodded, and in the next moment, Qin Jin leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.

Gu Xiran’s mind exploded with a bang.

This is a public place, after all.

Not behind closed doors in a room...

Gu Xiran was worried about Qin Jin’s image being affected, instinctively pushing at Qin Jin’s chest, but Qin Jin held her hands and pinned them behind her.

"If possible, I really wouldn’t want to... go... leave you."

Qin Jin regretted allowing Gu Xiran to leave his side for three years.

Three years was an incredibly precious time.

Gu Xiran: "..."

Hearing Qin Jin’s words, Gu Xiran’s heart skipped a beat.

"But to protect you... I still have to go... because I’m worried that if I don’t leave... I won’t be able to resist bullying you."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Bullying you.

Hearing the man’s words, Gu Xiran chuckled softly, her heart filled with a whirlwind of mixed emotions.

She wondered if this counted as the rogue words Qin Jin said to her...

Since returning to the country this time, Gu Xiran could clearly feel the possessiveness coming from Qin Jin.

"Silly girl, go to bed early, see you tomorrow, goodnight."

Seeing Gu Xiran still a bit dazed and giddy, he went directly to the door opposite Gu Xiran’s, swiped the card and went in.

Gu Xiran’s heart thumped uncontrollably.

That flutter from deep within almost seemed to leap out of her throat.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of love, only this love came late to her realization.

...

It wasn’t until Qin Jin’s door had been closed for quite a while that Gu Xiran came to her senses, feeling a bit silly.

After returning to the bedroom, Gu Xiran spent the night with a restless mind, unable to sleep.

...

On the next day, woken up at 7, Gu Xiran started her training at 8, with Qin Jin personally training her as expected.

Both were in military attire; those who didn’t know might think Qin Jin was personally training a newcomer.

Gu Xiran tucked her long hair into her cap, bit her lip; the winter wind was biting.

Qin Jin, seeing Gu Xiran shivering from the cold, pursed his lips and said, "Get moving first thing in the morning, I’ll take you for a lap around the track."

"Okay."

Gu Xiran followed Qin Jin’s instructions, moving her wrists, ankles, and limbs.

In the morning, there were many people training, the training ground and track were crowded...

Gu Xiran was a bit surprised, couldn’t help her curiosity, and asked, "What time do you usually start training each day?"

"6 o’clock..."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Understood.

People only see the glamour on the surface, it’s hard to imagine the hardships behind it.

Though Gu Xiran usually went to the gym, she had never encountered military training.

Qin Jin, after all, had joined the military in his teens.

Gu Xiran felt a bit sorry for Qin Jin joining the military at such a young age, but all these years, Qin Jin had never complained.

After running a lap following Qin Jin, her limbs felt like they were about to fall apart, and she felt extremely nauseated and uncomfortable.

Qin Jin, seeing Gu Xiran struggling, offered his arm to support her.

"I’ll take you back to the apartment to rest for a bit."

"I’m okay, just need to ease up a bit."

Gu Xiran squeezed out a faint smile; she initially intended to push her limits.

She absolutely couldn’t give up so easily...

Besides, she also wanted to make Qin Jin proud.

Qin Jin was accustomed to her stubbornness, and willingly handed a bottle of mineral water to Gu Xiran.

"Have a sip."

"Okay."

After drinking some water, Gu Xiran felt better, Qin Jin took the half-drunk bottle from her, and lightly sipped from it.

Gu Xiran’s eyes widened...

Qin Jin actually drank from the bottle she had just drank from.

She wondered if this counted as an indirect kiss.

...

Gu Xiran’s face flushed pink, then she followed Qin Jin to play with the equipment.

It’s said that by working with the equipment, you can develop visible abs within forty days.

Just thinking about that image gave Gu Xiran more motivation.

Losing weight... had always been something she longed for but couldn’t reach.

...

After finishing a day of training, Gu Xiran felt like she had been broken down and rebuilt.

After three days, she’d successfully lost five pounds... Despite the hardship, Gu Xiran gritted her teeth and realized she could stick with it.

After ten days, she’d successfully lost ten pounds.

After a month, Gu Xiran’s weight stabilized; standing in front of the mirror, she saw a figure with a hint of a female special agent’s charm.
