Chapter 303: Chapter 304: Lie Down with Me for a While

Her punch missed, and just as Gan Yuan was about to swing her other fist, she saw clearly the person in front of her and abruptly stopped her motion.

"Ajue?!" She drew back her fist, saying apologetically, "I’m sorry, I..."

Before she could finish, Huangfu Jue had already reached out to lift the blanket and wrapped her body in it, gently pulling her into his embrace.

"Having nightmares again?"

Startled for two seconds, she then relaxed her body again, leaning on his shoulder, and quickly adjusted her emotions, revealing a smile as she lifted her face.

"Why are you up so early?"

"I’m used to it."

"So..." she thought for a moment, then lifted her arm to drape over his shoulder, "if you’re not working, could you lie down with me a little longer?"

"Sure."

He smiled in response.

She snuggled deeper into the blanket, making room for him, and the man lay down again, stretching out his arm to hold her close.

"I feel like you’ve never mentioned your parents to me?"

Everyone is curious, and Huangfu Jue is no exception, especially when it comes to the woman he deeply loves.

Especially given her demeanor, always having nightmares, never sleeping soundly... these were all signs of insecurity.

He didn’t want her to continue like this, so he wanted to know the reasons behind it.

From the time he met her until now, he had never heard her mention anything about her parents.

Gan Yuan lifted her face from his chest, "Why... are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

"Just curious." His large hand gently brushed away the hair from her face, his tone tender, "If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to answer."

"They..." Gan Yuan lowered her eyelids, "died. I was five when there was a car accident."

The man frowned, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know that’s what happened."

"It’s okay." She lifted her face again, giving him a smile, "It’s been so long, I’m used to it."

She spoke calmly, but the man’s brow was already deeply furrowed.

It seemed likely she didn’t have any other relatives. A five-year-old child, who should have been pampered in her parents’ arms, had to face the world all alone, which was a heart-wrenching thought.

Since it was a thing of the past, he was powerless to change it, but what he could do was to hold her tightly in his arms.

"Don’t worry, you’ll never be alone again."

She didn’t speak, simply nestling her face contently against his chest.

His fingers brushed through her long hair, gliding over her right shoulder. Through her strands of hair, he could vaguely feel the rough patch of skin on her shoulder. Huangfu Jue moved his fingers back, trying to find that rough spot he had just felt with his fingertips.

Before he could find it, she lifted her arm to grab his, bringing his palm in front of her eyes and gently playing with it.

"Xiaotang just told me you have an old injury on your shoulder, what happened?"

"Shoulder..." She paused, then laughed it off nonchalantly, "Don’t listen to his exaggerations, it’s just a minor cervical spine issue."

She unfolded his fingers, gently running her fingertips along the sides of his fingers.

"Did you make that dress?"

He gave a faint smile, not at all surprised that she knew the truth.

"When I have time, I’ll make an even better one for you."

The man’s palm was slender with aesthetically pleasing joints; she could hardly imagine what it would look like, this hand sewing with a needle.

"I certainly don’t want you to prick yourself all over again!"

"Silly woman." The man chuckled softly, "Did you touch my stuff?"

She had even guessed these details; she must have seen his design drafts.
