Chapter 244: Chapter 245 I’m not old yet!

Huangfu Jue stood up straight and spoke formally.

"Mom, I’m sorry, now is not the time."

That’s right!

The woman before him was none other than Huangfu Jue’s mother, the queen of this country—Leng Xiaoye.

Huangfu Jue understood his mother just as she understood him.

He knew very well that disguising anything in front of his mother was utterly pointless; she would inevitably see through his actions. Probably before he even disembarked from the plane, she had already received the news.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have called him at the estate immediately after his plane landed.

"As I suspected," Leng Xiaoye’s face showed not the slightest surprise as she watched her son. Concern and a reminder shimmered in her eyes, "I can wait, but as you know, some people do not have that patience."

"I know."

"So..." Leng Xiaoye crossed her arms, "when can I meet my grandson?"

At the word "grandson," Huangfu Jue’s eyebrows twitched.

"Did Xiaoqi tell you?"

On the other side, Leng Xiaoye was also taken aback; she had not been entirely certain, but judging by her son’s reaction, it seemed the matter was indeed true.

"You really underestimate your mother," she dropped her surprise, giving him an eye roll. "I’m not that old yet! Don’t forget, I raised you, and I can see right through your little tricks. But, speaking of which, does Xiaojue also know about this?"

Huangfu Jue didn’t want to involve his brother, "I asked him to do it."

She nodded, circling back to the earlier conversation, "Don’t dodge the question, answer me."

He shrugged his shoulders, "Soon."

"A specific time."

"Half a month."

"I can’t wait that long!"

"Ten days."

"One week." Leng Xiaoye held up a finger, then unabashedly pushed her advantage, "including today."

"But..."

"No buts, since this is the choice you made, you have to face the consequences of your choice."

He nodded.

Across from him, Leng Xiaoye chuckled softly, tilting her head slightly to one side.

"I originally thought that Xiaoqi would be the first to present me with a grandson, but it turns out to be you. Indeed, you’re the most like your father," she declared.

Huangfu Jue fell silent — jokes about the father were hers alone to make.

"So... is it a deal?"

He could only nod.

In this world, Huangfu Jue feared neither heaven nor earth, and that included challenging his King father’s authority, but this woman, he did not want to provoke nor could he afford to.

Because he loved her.

Leng Xiaoye’s smile grew more satisfied.

"Good boy!"

He arched an eyebrow, smiling resignedly.

"May I leave now?"

"You may not."

"Mom!"

Leng Xiaoye snapped her fingers, and a staff member immediately brought over two exquisite boxes.

"These are gifts for Gan Yuan and Xiaotang, help me take them back."

Huangfu Jue’s expression turned serious as he looked at his mother’s face.

"Does this mean you... accept them?"

Leng Xiaoye’s expression turned stern as she countered, "If I didn’t accept them, would you give them up?"

"I wouldn’t."

She smiled, a smile filled with both heartache and helplessness.

"Then do I have any other choice?"

He had brought them home, which was declaration enough of his stance. As a mother, what could she do?

Break apart two lovers?

That would be both cruel and foolish, and besides, the girl had already born her a grandson.

"They will not disappoint you," Huangfu Jue said.

"I believe so," Leng Xiaoye raised her hand to rest it on her son’s shoulder, "because I trust my son’s judgment!"
