Yet, ideals are full, while reality is stark.

The man had trained from a young age, and there wasn’t an ounce of excess fat around his waist. His taut skin was impossible to grasp, and as she twisted and turned her hand grew tired, but not a single eyebrow of his raised, making her feel rather bored.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and Huangfu Jue got in sideways, holding her as she sat in the back seat. Her head tilted over, resting against his chest, and when her gaze landed on the small red spot there, her back teeth began to itch.

"Don’t mess around!"

Perceiving her intention, Huangfu Jue warned in a low voice.

She pouted and then, without courtesy, took a bite.

She hadn’t planned on it originally, but... since he forbade it, she insisted on biting!

"Sir."

Will, holding some clothes, opened the rear passenger door. After receiving the message, he immediately came over, intending to deliver the clothes, but when he caught sight of the two in the back seat, he was dumbfounded.

The man was bare-chested, cradling a woman with disheveled clothes and hair. At that moment, her mouth was "kissing" his chest.

Was this... fighting while injured?!

"I’m sorry."

He apologized awkwardly, about to close the car door.

Gan Yuan busily let go of Huangfu Jue, "Is Xiaotang okay?"

Her concern for her son outweighed her desire for revenge.

"He’s already asleep. I’ve instructed the bodyguards to look after him, so you don’t have to worry," Will said with his face downcast, carefully placing the paper bag with clothes on the side of the seat. "These are the clothes I brought for you."

"How’s the situation at the hotel?"

"It’s been taken care of. For your safety, I’ve informed them to help you vacate the room."

Huangfu Jue nodded lightly.

"Let’s go."

"Yes!"

Will hurried to close the car door properly for him and stepped back to wave at the others.

He sat in the front passenger seat, and everyone split up into their cars; three vehicles, one leading and two following, escorted Huangfu Jue’s car towards the hotel.

With such an unexpected incident, neither Will nor the others felt at ease.

After all, this man was no ordinary person. Not only did he possess a noble status, but his safety was also closely linked to the future of A Country.

The car moved forward. He released his arm to take the clothes from the bag, and Gan Yuan immediately escaped from his embrace, sitting in the empty seat next to him.

"I want to go home."

The man must have been a professional assassin, whether he was there for him or for her, she was not yet certain. With Gan Tang alone at home, she naturally felt anxious.

Huangfu Jue put on a shirt, "I’ll take you to a safe place first, then go to pick up Xiaotang."

"I want to go home!"

She repeated, her tone stubbornly insistent.

"Miss Gan," Will turned his face toward her, "rest assured, there are two people protecting Xiaotang, there definitely won’t be any problem."

"I know." Faced with Will, her voice had softened, "I won’t be at ease until I see him."

Will nodded in understanding, turning sideways to look at Huangfu Jue, he took the initiative to plead for her.

"Sir, why don’t we... go pick up Xiaotang together?"

"Go to the apartment."

The man finished buttoning his shirt and adjusted his collar upward. The fabric grazed over the chest he had been bitten on, eliciting another twinge of pain.
