Huangfu Jue’s eyebrows lifted faintly, “What a pity, your fork has already ruined its perfection.”
Gan Yuan lost her patience, sighed deeply, and started to rise to her feet.
“I think, I’d better wait until you’ve finished breakfast before coming!”
Can’t we have a pleasant conversation about the progress of the shoot?
It’s just breakfast, and he’s obviously nitpicking.
At this rate, when will we finish?
Before she could fully stand, the man’s right hand stretched out and covered the back of her left hand that was resting on the tabletop.
When he spoke again, his tone shifted from the arrogance and severity he had shown Qiao Liang to something…
softly tender.
“Be good, sit down, don’t be angry!”
A shiver of goosebumps ran down her arms instantly; Gan Yuan raised her eyes to look at Huangfu Jue across from her, and for a second, she thought she had misheard.
After a moment, she snapped back to reality.
She tried to retract her arm, but the man’s palm seemed casual while it precisely seized her wrist.
It was not enough to cause her pain, but it was enough to firmly imprison her hand between his fingers.
If she insisted on withdrawing, their breakfast on the table might end up overturned on the floor.
Qiao Liang’s gaze swept over Huangfu Jue’s hand holding onto Gan Yuan’s and stretched out to take his plate.
“I’ll make a new one for the gentleman.”
The plate was under Huangfu Jue’s arm, and unless he retracted it, Qiao Liang wouldn’t be able to take it away.
It seemed like a compromise, but it was actually a roundabout way of saving Zhao, forcing Huangfu Jue to release Gan Yuan.
It was just unfortunate that Huangfu Jue did not give him the opportunity.
Sitting unwaveringly, his fingers gripped Gan Yuan, immovable as if Mount Tai.
“There’s no need, I don’t want Yuanyuan to be unhappy.”
Yuanyuan?
Yuanyuan?! freēnovelkiss.com
“Cough!”
Will nearly choked on his own saliva.
Was this person before him really the same high and might Duke who considered women beneath his notice?
Across from him, Gan Yuan too was frozen in place, looking at Huangfu Jue before her with the kind of gaze one might use for an extraterrestrial being.
Duke, does your family know you’re this cheesy?
With a smile on his face, Qiao Liang spoke while holding the plate.
“I think, Littleyuan wouldn’t mind.
Our hotel’s creed is to provide the best service to guests, no matter if it’s Littleyuan or myself, we hold that creed as a tenet.
I’ll still replace it for you?”
The word “we” easily shortened the distance between him and Gan Yuan, relegating Huangfu Jue to a different category.
“We” are close colleagues, and you, are merely a guest.
“Now, Yuanyuan is my distinguished guest.”
Huangfu Jue countered beautifully, turning his opponent’s attack back on him.
Gan Yuan was his distinguished guest, and he was Qiao Liang’s guest, successfully drawing Gan Yuan into his camp.
A herd of mythical beasts seemed to stampede through Gan Yuan’s heart.
It didn’t matter to her if these two waged war, but did they have to drag her into it?
At this rate, breakfast could last until the next morning.
Resettling in her chair, she lifted her left hand to pick up the fork, readying herself to eat.
“Qiao Liang, since Mr.
Huangfu doesn’t mind, let’s not change it.
Could you go prepare some tea for us?”
She was aware of Qiao Liang’s intentions but did not want him to draw Huangfu Jue’s ire because of her.
Regardless of Qiao Liang’s status, the man before her was not one he should afford to offend.
There was no need for him to wade into these troubled waters.
He and she were merely colleagues, and Gan Yuan did not wish to get closer to Qiao Liang just because of Huangfu Jue.
“Alright.”
Qiao Liang nodded lightly, released the plate from his grasp, and turned to exit onto the terrace.
Casting a sidelong glance at the man’s fingers still resting on the back of her hand, Gan Yuan suppressed her anger.
“Are you done touching?”
