Huangfu Jue mistook her panic for nervousness, leaned down, reached over the table, and gently covered her hand with his.
"You don't have to worry, my parents don't oppose us being together."
She lifted her face in surprise.
"How... how is that possible?"
Huangfu Jue cradled her palm in his own, locking fingers to grasp her hand, and his thumb gently caressed the back of her hand, "So... you don't have to worry about your status anymore, they don't care that you're just an ordinary person."
An ordinary person?
Gan Yuan felt a tinge of sadness—if only she truly was just an ordinary person.
She tried to force a smile, "Really?"
Huangfu Jue nodded with a smile, "Mom even said she wants to meet you and Xiaotang!"
The normally composed man couldn't hide the joy in his heart at this moment.
He never doubted his mother would be on his side, but as for his father's reaction, Huangfu Jue wasn't entirely sure.
That he didn't oppose it was already a huge surprise.
