Chapter 127: Chapter 128 The Little Bootlicker

Gan Yuan turned her face and saw a young woman dressed vividly smiling at her from the seat behind.

The pale silver haute couture evening gown, studded with colored gemstones, exquisite makeup, and youthful yet elegant jewelry with colored diamonds... It was evident that Chu Xinqing had put a great deal of effort into her attire for the evening.

Compared to the previous two encounters, this young girl’s attire tonight was particularly stunning.

From their first pointed confrontation to the current proactive greeting, it seemed the young lady had changed her strategy towards her.

Gan Yuan had already guessed part of her mood and greeted her back with a smile.

"Miss Chu looks so beautiful tonight."

Chu Xinqing’s smile brightened.

"You flatter me, Miss Gan. Speaking of beauty, your dress tonight is truly breathtaking. I really like this color."

This compliment from Chu Xinqing wasn’t mere politeness; she had been genuinely impressed by the dress on Gan Yuan the moment she saw it.

Before, she had been puzzled as to why Qiao Liang would favor Gan Yuan, a single mother with conservative dress sense.

Seeing her today, Chu Xinqing realized just how radiant this woman could be when dressed up.

At that moment, Chu Xinqing’s mood improved slightly.

Such a woman was worthy of being her rival in love!

If Qiao Liang had taken an interest in a woman too mediocre, it would have been the greatest insult to her.

"Why didn’t I see Qiao Liang? Didn’t he come with you?"

Having understood the nature of their relationship during their second encounter, Gan Yuan deliberately asked this question to indicate to the other party that she had no interest in Qiao Liang.

At the mention of Qiao Liang, Chu Xinqing bit her lip in annoyance.

In fact, since that night, Qiao Liang had disappeared from her sight once again.

His phone was off, and despite trying everything, she couldn’t find a trace of him. She had come to this press conference specifically hoping for a chance encounter.

Since Qiao Liang was pursuing Gan Yuan, it was in his nature to surely attend the event tonight.

Of course, she wouldn’t reveal their current status to Gan Yuan, Chu Xinqing lifted the corner of her lips.

"He was held up by some urgent matters and might come later."

"I see," said Gan Yuan as she glanced towards the stage, then stood up from her chair, "Please make yourself comfortable, Miss Chu, I must take my leave."

The brand unveiling ceremony on the stage had ended, and it was time for her to pick up Gan Tang.

She wasn’t too keen on lingering at such gatherings; all she wanted was to pick up her son and get home to take a good hot bath and sleep—a true delight in life.

Not walking straight through the hall, but instead weaving through the crowd from behind, Gan Yuan maintained a low profile as she made her way near the stage discreetly.

She halted her steps and waved at Gan Tang, who was standing by Huangfu Jue’s side, looking around.

The little guy’s eyes lit up at seeing her, and he immediately turned and ran towards her.

"Mommy, you look so beautiful!"

"You little sweet-talker!" Gan Yuan playfully scolded, handing him the cup of water she had been holding, "Here, have some water, and then Mommy will take you out for a big meal!"

Gan Tang took the cup and drank a few sips of water. "Shouldn’t we say goodbye to Uncle Huangfu first?"

Say goodbye to him? Would they actually be able to leave then?

"Uncle Huangfu is too busy to bother with us. I already told him we were leaving, so we can just go," Gan Yuan took the empty cup and placed it to one side, "Let’s go, we’ll change clothes backstage and leave."

The little guy stood still, "Did you see Uncle Huangfu?"
