Gan Yuan bit her lower lip, then let out a light laugh.
"Ten times? As if you have the ability to do so!"
The man sat at the simple old dining table in the apartment, elegantly cradling a bowl, "You can try."
"Ungrateful wretch!" she gritted her teeth, "I saved you, and instead of being grateful, you treat me ?"
He glanced sideways, his tone still elegant and noble, "Offering myself to you, cherishing only you for a lifetime, that is the greatest gratitude I can give you."
Gan Yuan curled her lip.
To speak such shameless words with such a righteous look, probably only he could do it!
There was no reasoning with such a shameless person, so she simply turned her face away and ignored him, secretly plotting her next steps in her mind.
This guy didn’t seem to be joking. Failing to escape this time meant that next time would be even more difficult.
Sitting at the table, quietly eating her leftover breakfast, the man’s gaze fell on her cheek.
Directly carried out from the bedroom, her face was without the usual wide-rimmed glasses she always wore, her hair slightly disheveled and spilled over her shoulders, her eyebrows slightly raised in displeasure, her white teeth gently biting her lower lip.
The sunlight streamed in from the window on the side of the dining room, coating her cheeks with a soft golden sheen, the down by her ears was clearly visible...
The prickly sharpness when she was angry, the tranquility when deep in thought, the cuteness when relaxed...
This woman was different in every aspect.
Previously, in Huangfu Jue’s perception, women were synonymous with trouble.
Whiny, vain, boring...
But this woman was completely different, she was six years ago, and she remained the same six years later, he was forever curious about her.
Who exactly was she, where did she come from, what had she experienced, and how she would deal with him next... He was very much looking forward to all of it.
Could this be... what they call love?
The door made a soft sound, breaking the silence of the dining room.
Gan Yuan stood up to open the door, but after taking just one step, she heard the man’s voice from behind.
She turned around with clenched teeth as he calmly raised his voice.
The sound of keys jingled as Will pushed the door open and walked in, giving her a slight nod. He then moved to Huangfu Jue’s side, bent down, and whispered a few words to Huangfu Jue before handing him a piece of information.
Gan Yuan glanced over, unable to make out the text on the information from such a distance, but she could see a photo in the top right corner, which looked very similar to the assassin from last night.
She didn’t need to ask to know that this was information Huangfu Jue had found.
She jumped onto the small sofa and sat down, casually leaning against its back.
"The body has been taken care of, and the guest room has been cleaned. The hotel was told it was accidental damage. We will take care of the costs, and they have not suspected anything," Will said in a low voice, bending over.
After a glance at the information, Huangfu Jue handed it back to him and nodded slightly.
Given his special identity, if the incident got out, it would only cause public panic.
Glancing at Gan Yuan, who was flipping through a magazine on the sofa, Will spoke again.
"What about Miss Gan?"
"I will explain it to her," he pondered for a moment, "get her a wheelchair."
Her leg was injured and she had trouble moving; he didn’t mind carrying her, but that stinky woman probably wouldn’t appreciate it.
He didn’t want to keep at odds with her, hoping a bit of a concession would ease the tension between them.
"Okay," Will complied, then handed over a newspaper, "What about this?"
I’ll take the chance to say goodnight to you all. Also, shamelessly asking for your vote~!
