The unexpected obstacle caused her to stumble, nearly falling flat on her face.
She barely managed to regain her balance and glared venomously at Gu Jin, who stood a few feet away, her expression calm and composed.
Gu Jin quietly retracted the vine, her movements so subtle that no one else seemed to notice.
But Aihan had seen it. Her face twisted in rage as she shot Gu Jin a venomous look.
Ignoring her entirely, Gu Jin turned her attention to Mr. Gu.
Her cold demeanor softened slightly as her eyes met his. He looked so much like her father from her previous life that she felt a strange sense of familiarity and warmth.
Mr. Gu's gaze shifted from one person to another, his brow furrowing as he sensed the tension in the room.
Before anyone could speak, Gu Jihu stepped forward and calmly explained the situation.
Mr. Gu's sharp eyes immediately turned to Gu Jin.
He studied her carefully, his expression unreadable.
