Just after dressing, her voice rang out again.
Her tone was commanding.
He stood up, opened her wardrobe, and asked.
She refused to tell him, "Don’t you have eyes to find them yourself?"
After a moment, he took the socks and helped her put them on.
Gan Yuan hardly gave him a chance to catch his breath; as soon as the socks were on her feet, she issued the next order.
This time, without asking, he went straight to the shoe cabinet and found her a pair of comfortable shoes to slip onto her feet.
"I want to brush my teeth."
He immediately carried her into the washroom, set her on the sink counter, and passed her the toothbrush already coated with toothpaste.
He carried her out of the bedroom and set her in a chair at the dining table; Will had brought home some breakfast kept warm in the pot. With her hands propping up her cheeks, she lazily opened her mouth.
It wouldn’t take two hours for her to become, in his eyes, the most annoying woman in the world.
Pulling up a chair to sit beside her, he held the bowl and fed her the breakfast. With yesterday’s experience, today he was much more proficient.
Unfortunately, she deliberately made things difficult.
"The porridge is too thick; I want water."
"This is cold; I want it warm."
"Warm, you understand? The temperature has to be just right, not so hot it burns, and not too cold."
"Who asked you to test it with your mouth? What if you have AIDS or something else? I don’t want to be infected."
With each sentence more cutting than the last, the man suddenly let out a light laugh.
She thought she had misheard and turned her face to look at him.
On the chair beside her, Huangfu Jue was indeed laughing. His handsome lips were slightly upturned as he leaned and looked at her face with amusement in his blue eyes.
"What... what are you laughing at?" she asked fiercely.
"Gan Yuan, you’re cuter than I imagined," he said with a smile, reaching over to wipe the oil stain from the corner of her mouth. "You don’t understand me. The harder something is to get, the more interested I am."
Wasn’t she intentionally making things hard for him so he would get fed up and leave on his own?
If he couldn’t see that, then he’d have wasted the past twenty-something years of his life.
Gan Yuan’s lips twitched upwards, "Is that so? Then keep trying. I have to go to work now; goodbye!"
He stretched out his hand and clasped her wrist.
"I’ve already had Will call the club to purchase one hundred hours of private lessons for you. Being with me is your job."
Gan Yuan’s lips twitched.
"One hundred hours; don’t you think that’s too little?"
"That’s because the club’s limit is only one hundred lesson hours," he said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders. "But it doesn’t matter, as the club will be under my name by tomorrow morning. You don’t have to worry about your job."
She ground her teeth in frustration.
The man elegantly picked up the bowl and brought it to her mouth again.
"I’ll wait for you to go crazy with me."
She no longer had an appetite and started to get up from the table, but with a lift of his hand, he pushed her back into the chair.
"I haven’t eaten yet," Huangfu Jue said, holding up the remainder of her porridge. "Starting now, you must always stay within my line of sight."
The man looked up; his gaze fell meaningfully on her face.
"Beyond ten meters, one time; beyond one hundred meters, ten times. And so on," he said, the smile wrinkles barely showing in his eyes. "Xiaotang is so adorable; I wouldn’t mind having another one. Starting now!"
Have a pleasant weekend, and good morning~!~
