The man clenched his teeth, nibbling on her earlobe.
Gan Yuan frowned and suppressed the groan, staring at the ceiling and trying to force her thoughts elsewhere.
Tomorrow Xiaotang needs to go to school, and in a month she should decide which city to take him to...
She was clearly looking at a vague stain on the ceiling, yet the stain gradually morphed into a shadow, as if casting the silhouette of a pine tree on the snow.
Then, a figure slid down from the snowy mountain, whizzing past her side.
The ceiling above her abruptly transformed into Switzerland’s Verbier Ski Resort’s most challenging slope, where she had first encountered Huangfu Jue.
Indeed, he had changed from six years ago.
The youth who had seemed somewhat clumsy in bed back then had now learned how to manipulate a woman.
Drawing a shallow breath, she began to mock.
"Duke, you might as well save your effort. Such techniques can only deceive those little girls who haven’t seen the world!"
The man slowly lifted his face, propping his hand beside her head, and lowered his face until it stopped less than ten centimeters from hers.
His breath was a bit heavy, his blue eyes void of light, holding depths like the night sea.
A flicker of unusual color passed through the man’s blue eyes, but she was too surprised and flustered to decode his expression.
By the time she wanted to take a closer look, Huangfu Jue had already bent down his head, whispering softly near her ear.
"Unfortunately, your body doesn’t lie!"
Withdrawing his fingers, he grabbed the blanket and covered her body, then turned and strode towards the door.
Only when he opened the door did she react, cursing with a hoarse voice.
"Huangfu Jue, you shameless!"
The man stopped in his tracks by the door, his hand clenching the doorknob bit by bit.
"Gan Yuan, one day, I will make you admit it. You love me!"
Hooking his finger around the security lock, he didn’t look back at her as he stepped out and immediately pulled the door closed.
The door shut, locking automatically.
Huangfu Jue took a deep breath, painstakingly loosening his grip on the doorknob one finger at a time, headed to the adjacent small bedroom to check on the still-sleeping Gan Tang, he carefully tucked the child in, gently opened the door, and stepped out.
After closing her door, he leaned against the corridor wall with a frown.
The motion-activated light dimmed, plunging the hallway into darkness. The man stood there for quite some time, until the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided, then he started to head downstairs.
Seeing him descend, Will hurried to open the car door for him.
Just by looking at Huangfu Jue’s expression, Will knew he was in a bad mood, and so remained silent, cautious not to rub him the wrong way.
Sliding into the back seat of the car, Huangfu Jue crossed his arms, glancing up towards the lit room on the fourth floor.
