Chapter 500: Chapter 501: Measure Your Size

"Don’t even think about it!"

Gan Yuan raised her hand to push Huangfu Jue away, clasped her hands behind her back with the string of keys, and walked toward the deeper part of the garden.

The man strode after her, caught one of her wrists, and his fingers glided down from her wrist, separating her fingers to interlock with his.

She didn’t struggle, but compliantly separated her fingers to hold on to his.

His fingers gently caressed the new scab on the back of her hand, and Huangfu Jue spoke in a low tone.

"So far, we still haven’t figured out who the mastermind behind the scenes is. You’ll sign a contract tomorrow and take a few days off before you go to work."

"No!" she turned her face, "I want to start tomorrow."

The man raised an eyebrow.

Gan Yuan then spoke sternly, "I don’t want to compromise with him. If I am his target, or... I might be able to lure the snake out of its hole."

That guy had been extremely cautious; up to now, they still hadn’t found any valuable clues.

With her personality, she definitely wasn’t the kind who liked to hide behind others like a coward.

Gan Tang was very safe in the Royal Palace. If the other party wanted revenge on her, she didn’t mind being the bait.

The man spoke decisively, "No!"

"Do you want Xiaotang to keep hiding in the Royal Palace?" Gan Yuan retorted.

The Royal Palace was indeed safe, but hiding like this wasn’t a solution. If they could not find the murderer, should the child hide in the Royal Palace for a lifetime?

Huangfu Jue frowned—he certainly didn’t want that, but he could not agree to let her take the risk.

"I will find a way..."

"Ajue," Gan Yuan said seriously, holding his hand, "We will face what’s to come together."

She didn’t want to be the woman who hid behind him; she wanted to be the person who stood with him, side by side, through all the storms.

Looking into her hopeful and longing eyes, Huangfu Jue hesitated for a long while but eventually nodded.

"Alright."

She immediately lifted her lips into a smile.

"However," the man promptly added, "I have one condition; you must wear a bulletproof vest."

"Really?" she frowned, "Ajue, I don’t think that’s necessary, is it?"

She was quite confident in her own skills; wearing a bulletproof vest every day was just too excessive.

"I insist."

The man showed no intention of compromising.

"Fine!" she agreed reluctantly, "But... it has to be the ultra-thin kind."

She didn’t want to go to work at the hotel wearing a steel plate.

He laughed, "I’ll prepare it for you."

As she turned to move forward, the man’s palm reached out and grabbed her arm.

Gan Yuan turned around only to see him speaking earnestly.

"I was saying I’d take you to see my bedroom."

See the bedroom?

Maybe his intentions weren’t really on the wine!

Gan Yuan smirked wickedly, "Just to see the bedroom?"

"To measure your size as well."

"Shameless!"

The girl looked at him with feigned anger, her cuteness and allure highlighted by the faint lights of the garden and moonlight, stirring his desire as he pulled her to himself and kissed her again.

Gan Yuan raised her hands to his shoulders, lifted her face to meet his lips, and her gaze flitted across the palace diagonally opposite them, where she fleetingly spotted a shadow moving on the second floor.

She opened her eyes and straightened her back.

Feeling her shift, Huangfu Jue looked up, puzzled.

"What’s wrong?"

Gan Yuan stared at the second floor of the Royal Palace, where lights shone from several windows, but no figures were apparent.

"It’s nothing; I must have seen it wrong..." she said softly as she gently pushed his arms away, "Shall we go see the bedroom then?"
