Chapter 948: Sister Jin, I Was Wrong

Wanqi Jingyi smiled and said to Han Xiyuan, "Just accept it."

The latter still did not take it, even changing his manner of address: "Brother Jingyi, I really can’t accept this, it’s too precious."

For cultivators, a storage space ring is a treasured artifact, how could he take someone else’s beloved item?

Wanqi Jingyi wanted to persuade him further, but suddenly someone else appeared before him.

Prince Rong walked up to him, took the ring from his hand, and showed a cordial yet cunning smile: "I will accept the kind gesture of my nephew on Xiyuan’s behalf. This child still hasn’t faced such situations before; it’s truly not like me."

Saying this, he eagerly put the ring on Han Xiyuan’s hand.

The onlookers were utterly amazed by his shameless behavior.

Everyone inwardly noted that the young prince Han could indeed not match the thick-skinned nature of this old fox.

"Father!" Han Xiyuan was anxious.

Prince Rong smiled broadly and stopped his son from removing the ring: "It’s given to you, just accept it. Be more generous. After all, it is your brother Jingyi’s kind intention."

Now he had no choice but to take it.

Han Xiyuan touched the ring on his hand and saluted Wanqi Jingyi: "Thank you, Uncle."

The latter raised his hand to him and smiled without speaking.

Nobody knew Wanqi Jingyi’s true intentions.

When his master first gave him this ring, he too was overjoyed.

However, this ring was a bit too conspicuous for him.

As a diplomat, he frequently received envoys from various countries, so his manner needed to be more prudent.

His master had mentioned that a more refined and smaller storage space ring could be made.

Since he already had one storage space ring in hand, he felt it was inappropriate to ask his master for another.

Now that this ring was given away, he had a legitimate reason to ask his master for a new one.

While Prince Rong and Han Xiyuan enjoyed this unexpected delight, Master Wanqi was silently making his little calculations in his heart.

Mu Zifan and Mu Ziyu exchanged a glance, their eyes sharing a profound understanding known only to them.

Gu Jin and An Mingji were not present, and everyone soon dispersed.

Before leaving, Mu Zifan approached Wanqi Jingyi and seemed to speak unintentionally: "Brother Jingyi, whenever you’re free, let’s gather sometime."

Wanqi Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "After I finish hosting the envoy from Y Country, we can sit at Yihai’s bar."

"Alright!"

...

Gu Jin returned home, she was greeted by Kasi’s worried face and the joyful Duoduo rushing towards her.

Kasi looked behind Gu Jin and saw no one, noticing her rather poor complexion, he wore a look of wanting to speak but hesitating.

Gu Jin changed into her home shoes, patted Duoduo’s head, and walked toward the bedroom.

As she passed Kasi, she clearly saw the worry on his face turn to surprise and relief.

Next, a hurried voice called from behind her.

"Sister Jin!"

An Mingji had grown up now and rarely called her Sister Jin anymore.

Gu Jin acted as though she heard nothing and continued her steps to the bedroom without any pause.

An Mingji quickly changed into slippers and ran after Gu Jin.

Behind, Allen and others also entered the room.

Kasi greeted them, poured everyone water, and asked what had happened.

...

In the bedroom, Gu Jin let Duoduo inside and casually locked the door behind them.

An Mingji stood outside the door.

He lightly knocked on the door, explaining in a helpless and aggrieved tone: "There’s really nothing between Minmin and me; that Li Mingzhi is just talking nonsense. Sister Jin, don’t be angry, it’s all my fault. Please open the door, okay?"

The room was very quiet, and no one responded.
