In her eyes, his features magnified, her lips having already been pecked by his, she straightened up and pushed him away with a shove.
Huangfu Jue lay back down to his original spot, extending the tip of his tongue to lick his lips.
Strangely enough, though the action was quite rogue-like, when performed by him, it seemed extraordinarily elegant and flirtatious.
He asked mildly, with a double entendre, already breaking a light sweat, yet his breath was still steady.
Trained since childhood by her grandfather, who was a general, the man could be much more intense than her, and what she subjected him to was child’s play in comparison.
She lifted her arm to wipe her lips with the back of her hand, spat to the side, and then spoke with irritation.
"Push-ups... 200 times!"
So, moments later, when little Gan Tang pushed the door open and entered the VIP room, she saw Huangfu Jue doing push-ups on the yoga mat, while Gan Yuan comfortably leaned on the couch playing with her phone.
The little one immediately sympathized with Huangfu Jue and trotted over to him.
"Mommy, why are you bullying Uncle Huangfu like that?"
"How is this bullying?" Gan Yuan said with a smile, taking the little backpack off the child’s back, "Mommy is helping your Uncle Huangfu get stronger and healthier."
With that, she cast a sidelong glance at Huangfu Jue.
"Don’t stop, continue!"
The man bent his arms to continue doing push-ups, while Gan Tang ran to his head and looked at him with barely concealed concern.
"Uncle Huangfu, are you okay?"
The man turned to smile at him, "Even with you added on, it wouldn’t be a problem."
"Really?" The little one’s face lit up with surprise.
Watching the little guy attentively, he propped himself up on one hand and patted his back, his face full of indulgence, "Want to try sitting on it?"
Lustre flashed in the little one’s eyes, but then he gently shook his head—he really wanted to, but felt a bit too shy.
After all, he hadn’t yet decided to forgive Huangfu Jue.
Catching his subtle expressions, Huangfu Jue immediately urged.
"Come on, think of it as helping your uncle add some weight. Otherwise, your mommy is going to make me carry iron plates, which are much heavier than you!"
Pouting, Gan Tang looked at Gan Yuan sideways.
Never having enjoyed fatherly love, the little one had never ridden on his father’s shoulders like other kids.
Seeing his eagerness to try, how could Gan Yuan bear to stop him?
"Be careful not to fall."
The little one happily agreed, walked over, and with little strides, climbed onto Huangfu Jue’s back. After making sure he was seated well, Huangfu Jue bent his arms and continued the push-ups.
Sitting on his back with his hands braced on the man’s broad shoulders, the little one’s lips slowly curled upward. Looking at Huangfu Jue, he quietly stretched out a small hand to gently caress his back.
Although he had ridden on his mother’s back as a child, the feeling at this moment was completely different.
The man’s back was broad, his back muscles firm, enough to serve as a small bed for him.
His dad... was indeed very strong!
"Does it feel like riding a horse?"
While doing push-ups, Huangfu Jue still managed to chat with the little one, smilingly.
"How’s the new school?"
"The boys are okay, but the girls are so annoying, always surrounding me and asking questions."
Gan Yuan had already packed up and was ready to take the little one and leave when she turned around and saw Huangfu Jue talking to the little guy.
The man, who had always been aloof and majestic, was letting Gan Tang sit on him, his face full of gentle affection and indulgence.
