“No.”

What were clearly two shameless words, when uttered from his lips, still managed to qualify as elegant.

As he spoke, the man’s thumb slightly curved, its pad stretching past her arched palm, landing gently in the center of her hand and caressing it lightly.

That gesture, natural and affectionate, was like the ambiguous moves between lovers.

As fingertip and palm touched, an odd sensation of tingliness spread like an electric current from where they made contact…

She lifted her hand, shook off his palm, and took hold of the dinner knife.

Determined in her heart, she resolved that if this guy dared to continue, she would stab the back of his hand with the knife she was holding.

Huangfu Jue did not continue; he withdrew his hand and took up his own cutlery instead.

“When is the flight?” Gan Yuan asked while holding her utensils.

Across, Huangfu Jue calmly cut into the egg on his plate.

“One shouldn’t talk while eating; it’s bad for the stomach.”

The day before, during a meal with the three of them, she had used the same line to stop him from talking to Gan Tang.

This guy was indeed using her own tactic against her, a truly petty and vengeful spirit.

Muttering in her heart, Gan Yuan lifted her knife and fork and cut into the egg.

She knew Qiao Liang’s cooking skills; with deliciousness in front of her, wasting was not a good habit.

After all, one needed a full stomach to have the energy to argue, right?

Footsteps sounded, and Qiao Liang came in holding tea.

The first cup was given to Gan Yuan, and the second, to Huangfu Jue.

“The black tea is blended to your liking, wish you a pleasant meal.”

Having said that, he stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Huangfu Jue glanced sideways, casting a look at him.

“I’ll always be at your service according to your requests, not disturbing your meal with Little Yuan.

That’s the hotel’s policy,”

Huangfu Jue then spoke faintly, “With such a lousy sous-chef, I bet the restaurant’s business can’t be that great!” freewēbnoveℓ.com

Qiao Liang responded with a smile, “Mr.

Huangfu is mistaken, the restaurant is very busy.

Many customers come specifically for me.”

Huangfu Jue raised an eyebrow, “For the face, huh?”

That statement was clearly a mockery; suggesting Qiao Liang’s cooking skills were not as good as his looks.

Unperturbed, Qiao Liang kept smiling, “Is Mr.

Huangfu complimenting me on being handsome?”

Huangfu Jue put down his knife and fork, “I was just saying that their aesthetic sense is even worse than their taste buds.”

Qiao Liang’s smile didn’t fade, “Hegel said ‘what is rational is real’, and since so many recognize me, that means my cooking skills and my looks perfectly match the public’s taste.

If Mr.

Huangfu doesn’t approve, it can only prove that your aesthetic and taste are completely out of touch with the general public.”

It sounded highbrow, but in essence, he was mocking Huangfu Jue for being different…

abnormal.

“In my eyes, only Yuanyuan meets the standards of beauty,” Huangfu Jue affirmed, his gaze tenderly fixed on Gan Yuan across from him, drinking tea, “Drink slowly, don’t scald yourself.

Didn’t your tongue hurt from being kissed by me last night?”

Cough!

Gan Yuan almost sprayed out her mouthful of tea; was he trying to choke her to death?

Qiao Liang passed a napkin over, his tone intimate.

“Look at you, your chin is covered in tea.”

Just as Gan Yuan was about to reach for it, Huangfu Jue already leaned over, his long arm steadied her face, and his thumb gently wiped the corner of her lips, clearing away the trace of tea stain.

Then, he withdrew his arm and brought his fingers to his lips.

Noticing his movement, both Gan Yuan and the assistant Will’s eyes widened, as they watched the typically germophobic Duke nonchalantly bring his finger to his mouth, gently sucking off the tea from the side of it.
