Runaway Wife: Please, Have Another Baby!
Chapter 248 - 249: I’ll Sleep with You

Chapter 248: Chapter 249: I’ll Sleep with You

The woman before him had rosy cheeks, her long eyelashes drooping, looking just like a schoolgirl in love for the first time, and he couldn’t bear to leave her.

"Then... I’ll stay and sleep with you."

"No, I... I didn’t mean that!"

Huangfu Jue unbuttoned his suit and casually took off his jacket, tossing it onto a nearby sofa, then lifted his hand to take hers.

"What did you mean, then?"

"I..." She stopped mid-sentence, "I... mean nothing!"

Her behavior was less like losing her temper and more like she was acting spoiled, only she didn’t even realize it.

Raising her hand to his collar, Huangfu Jue held her hand as he slowly pulled off his tie.

Her heartbeat quickened, her gaze fixed on her face, watching as a faint blush spread across her cheeks, and he naturally leaned his face closer to hers.

He... He couldn’t still be wanting more, could he?

She took a step back; after a night of wild indulgence plus the exhaustion of travel, she was already very tired.

And most importantly, she needed to carefully consider her next step, rather than getting entwined with him every night.

"I..." She withdrew her hand, "I’m going to take a shower first."

Speaking in a fluster, she regretted her words as soon as they were out.

Of all the things to say, she had mentioned taking a shower - he was bound to misunderstand now!

"Don’t get me wrong, I really..."

Before she could finish speaking, her body was swept into the air and tucked into the soft bedcovers.

Her long, glossy black hair spread out like an ink lotus on the deep blue sheets, and her rare moment of panic only spurred his desire to tease her further.

Damn it!

The man, usually in strong self-control, cursed softly in annoyance.

"What?"

She hadn’t heard him clearly.

Raising his hand, he brushed the messy hair from her face as he moved closer to her.

"Just once, I promise!"

Lowering her gaze, she slowly closed her eyes.

After all, it was compensation for her deceit!

As he kissed her, her hand, which had initially been resting on his shoulder, gradually opened up, shifting from support to embrace.

...

...

After drying her off, the man carried her back to bed, and as soon as her body touched the pillow, she immediately curled up, folding into the center of the blanket like a baby.

He tucked the blanket around her and straightened the messy hair from her face, Huangfu Jue looking at her flushed cheeks with a slight frown.

Psychologically, it’s said that people who sleep in such a position have an extreme lack of security.

For so long, neither she nor Gan Tang had ever mentioned her family. Could it be that she... had no relatives?

"Don’t... leave me..."

From the pillow, the woman murmured with furrowed brows.

Turning his face, his gaze met her furrowed brows, and he lay down beside her, his warm chest touching her cool back.
