Huangfu Jue had originally found Gan Yuan a job so she wouldn't be so bored, but who would have thought that this wretched woman was just as much of a workaholic as he was, always leaving early and returning late these past few days.
Seeing her work so hard and fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, Huangfu Jue had also restrained himself from touching her.
In order to prepare for the banquet, Gan Yuan had been busy until the early hours of the morning yesterday, knowing that he was away at a meeting and that Gan Tang was safe in the Royal Palace, so she simply stayed in the office and did not return to the Duke Residence.
By his reckoning, it had been three days since he last touched her.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
Now that the beauty was in his arms, Huangfu Jue could hardly help himself. Although he initially intended just a light taste, by the time their lips truly met, he had already lost control of himself.
