Chapter 280 - 281: Proposal Ring

Chapter 280: Chapter 281: Proposal Ring

As the pencil moved across the page, the shape of a beautifully crafted ring slowly took form on the draft paper.

Huangfu Jue held up the drawing in front of him, frowned, crumpled the paper, and threw it aside.

He took a second sheet and began to draw anew.

...

Ding, ding, ding!

The butler knocked gently on the door from outside, but Huangfu Jue was completely absorbed and did not notice. Without a response to his knocking, the butler tiptoed into the room and saw his employer, the Duke, sitting at the desk, drawing intently. Knowing that he was creating, the butler dared not disturb him, carefully placed a cup of coffee beside him, and immediately left on tiptoe.

On the desk, steam rose from the hot coffee and then gradually cooled, but the man hadn’t reached out to touch it at all.

His gaze was focused solely on the tip of the pencil, repeatedly correcting and perfecting...

In the study, the only sound was the scratch of pencil on paper.

The coffee turned completely cold, and the draft papers on the desk gradually piled into a thick stack. Outside the study window, to the east, the sky was showing the pale light of dawn.

The light grew brighter, highlighting the figure hunched over the drawings by the desk. He set down the pencil, picked up the final draft he had created, and after earnestly examining the drawing on the table for a moment, Huangfu Jue finally gave a satisfied smile.

He reached for the phone and deftly dialed a number.

"How is it?"

The voice of Will, respectful, came from the other end of the phone.

"Jud will be here shortly. We’ve developed three plans; should I bring them to you?"

"No!" Huangfu Jue stood up from his chair, "I’ll come now."

Since it was a proposal, of course, he wanted to give her a surprise.

He slipped the last finished draft into a folder, Huangfu Jue carefully collected the waste drafts from the table, stuffed them into the shredder, and the moment the shredder started working, he grabbed the folder and left the study.

Walking up to Gan Yuan’s bedroom, he cautiously pushed open the door. The curtains inside were tightly closed. Gan Yuan, having tossed and turned for half the night, had only fallen asleep in the early hours of the morning and naturally hadn’t woken up yet.

In the hallway, the little guy was already dressed neatly and coming out of his room. Seeing him, he immediately smiled and greeted him.

"Uncle Huangfu..."

Raising a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, Huangfu Jue quietly closed Gan Yuan’s bedroom door, stepped over, and took the boy’s little hand.

"Mommy is still sleeping; let’s go downstairs first."

Leading the little guy down the stairs, Huangfu Jue immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare the car.

The little guy looked up, a hint of concern on his face, "You haven’t had breakfast yet!"

"I have something very important to do; I must go right away."

Gan Tang nodded, a small hint of sadness flickering in his dark blue eyes. He furrowed his pretty little brows, "I know you’re busy, but you should spend more time with Mommy."

Such an understanding child!

Moved, Huangfu Jue squatted down, smiled, and steadied the little guy’s shoulders, "Uncle has a secret to tell you. Can you promise not to tell Mommy?"

Gan Tang thought seriously for a moment, "It depends on the secret."

Huangfu Jue held out the folder in his hand and tilted his chin slightly.

"Take a look."

Receiving the folder, Gan Tang opened it with his small, tender hands and saw the design inside. His eyes immediately lit up.

"So beautiful!" He looked up seriously at Huangfu Jue, "Is this a gift for Mommy?"

"An engagement ring," Huangfu Jue corrected with a smile.

...

...

Goodnight.

Happy National Day~!~
