Bab 174: Chapter 175: Rare Softness and Compliance

Gan Yuan instinctively swallowed, and the pill slid down her throat. Huangfu Jue held up a cup and passed her two sips of water. As he felt her swallow the water, his lips did not part from hers. Her lips were as soft as a baby's skin, tempting him to linger.

Tentatively, he gently kissed her lips. She was still unconscious, peacefully unresponsive.

He pursed his lips, kissing her again, lightly for fear of waking her.

When she was awake, she was always too tough and stubborn. Now, she was, unusually, malleable and compliant.

He unconsciously deepened the kiss, savoring her softness and sweetness. Short of breath from his kisses, she instinctively moaned and drew back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in displeasure, like an angry child.

That expression, compared to her usual defiant self, was much cuter.

His kisses traveled down, grazing her chin and landing on her collarbone.
