Chapter 169: Chapter 170: Stubbornly Cute

He glanced sideways, and saw Gan Yuan’s profile gazing out of the window, her face barely able to conceal her anxiety.

Noticing the bloodstains on her clothes, his gaze returned to her wound, his heart softening once again.

Lifting his palm, he pulled her into his arms, leaning her against his chest, his hand gently stroking her long hair.

"There’s no need to worry, it’s just me he’s after, nobody will hurt Xiaotang."

Gan Yuan’s neck was stiff as she tried to straighten up, sensing her movement, he spread his hand and pressed her back against his shoulder.

Stupid woman, did her dictionary not include words like ’soft’ or ’compliant’? Would leaning on his shoulder kill her?

He held her head, not giving her a chance to escape, Huangfu Jue spoke in a gentle tone.

"Were you scared just now?"

"I’m not that cowardly," she replied in annoyance.

There was silence for a moment before he asked again, "Does it hurt?"

"Nonsense!" Her tone grew even more belligerent.

The hand on her head tightened, Huangfu Jue’s face was already beginning to darken.

He was already trying to make amends, what else did she want from him?

The driver and Will both held their breaths, daring not to make a sound.

When had their own Duke ever spoken softly to someone else, making overtures again and again, yet she was so unappreciative, could he really tolerate this?

Huangfu Jue took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his chest.

"Close your eyes and rest for a bit. I’ll wake you when we arrive."

She just huffed, her head held still by his hand, she turned her eyes to look out the window.

Everything went dark as the man’s fingers moved over, pressing down her eyelids.

Although the wound wasn’t deep, she had bled quite a lot, and she should rest more to aid her body’s recovery.

The anesthetic hadn’t worn off yet, so the wound wouldn’t hurt. Once the anesthetic faded, she would feel the pain, so Huangfu Jue hoped she could take advantage of this time, while it wasn’t too painful, to get some sleep.

But she was not appreciative at all and once again opened her eyes.

The man frowned, raising his hand to cover her eyes.

She raised her hand to pull his palm away, but his hand caught hers and moved it aside. Her body was weakened by her injury and she couldn’t muster the strength to struggle against him. Yet she refused to comply passively, her eyes blinking behind his palm as a sign of her resistance.

In his palm, her eyelashes lightly brushed against it, tickling him.

He was full of anger at first, but suddenly felt a bit like laughing.

Stupid woman, she just had to go against him, didn’t she?

Really...stubbornly adorable.

He let her fidget under his palm, his hand softly caressing the back of her hand.

What was this woman really made of? How could she be so soft, those slender fingers that could hit so hard, yet seemed like they would break with just a little pressure in the palm of his hand?

He gently unfolded her fingers, his eyes resting on her slender knuckles.

What kind of ring would be worthy of her finger?

On the back of her hand, his fingers tenderly brushed across her skin, causing a tingling sensation.

Gan Yuan tried to withdraw her hand, but the man’s fingers held tight like a vice, not allowing her to pull away. Feeling her attempting to pry his hand open, she clenched her fist to deny him the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, her fist was lifted by him, and then she felt a soft, moist touch on the back of her hand.

"Disgusting!"

She burst out indignantly.

No sooner had her words fallen, than his hand had moved to her waist, and before she could react, she was pulled back into his arms.

The car door was opened, and he carried her out of the car.
