Chapter 340: Chapter 341: Is a ... Mister

Qiao Liang collapsed powerlessly onto the other person, and before losing consciousness, he only saw Chu Xinqing’s red car disappearing around the corner of the road.

He let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.

...

...

The estate.

Gan Yuan followed Huangfu Jue into the living room with a smile, and upon seeing the butler approaching, she smiled and greeted him. She had assumed he was merely there to welcome them, but instead, he raised his hand and passed her the receiver of the landline phone.

"Madam, your call."

"Who is it?"

"The caller did not say, just mentioned that they are a friend of yours," the butler glanced over at Huangfu Jue, "It’s a gentleman."

Could it be Qiao Liang again?

Gan Yuan reached out and took the receiver.

"Hello."

"Miss Gan Yuan, hello."

On the other end of the call was a magnetic baritone, pleasant to the ear, but it sent a chill down Gan Yuan’s back.

Moses!

Just then, Will returned from outside with Gan Tang, and upon seeing the two of them, Gan Tang immediately ran over.

"Mommy, Uncle Huangfu."

"Your mommy is on the phone, let’s go inside first!"

Huangfu Jue took his little hand and stepped back.

Although curious about who was calling, he maintained the decorum he ought to—respecting her privacy was paramount.

Watching the two of them enter the living room, Gan Yuan walked to the side of the stairs while holding the receiver.

"Mr. Moses, what can I do for you?"

On the other end of the line, Moses’s tone remained courteous.

"I didn’t get the chance to have a satisfying conversation with Miss Gan at Duke Locke’s residence, and I would like to invite you to lunch to have a proper talk."

Gan Yuan took a light breath, trying to keep her voice natural.

"Sorry! I don’t have time today and, besides... I am not very familiar with Mr. Moses, so it seems there isn’t much to talk about."

"That’s a pity, as I do not share that view." The man on the other end seemed to laugh lightly, "Furthermore, as far as I know, the new eastern chef at Clayton Restaurant is quite good, and I’ve already reserved a seat. It would be a shame if you didn’t come. Oh... I should mention, that chef seems to be a good friend of yours, what’s his name again... Qiao Liang?!"

Gan Yuan’s fingers tightened around the receiver, "Mr. Moses seems to be mistaken, we are merely acquaintances, not friends."

"Is that so?" Moses chuckled softly, "In that case... I’ll have to enjoy this lunch by myself, won’t I?"

The man spoke nonchalantly, but Gan Yuan detected the threatening undertone in his words.

After a moment of silence, she bit her lip in secret, and the man on the other end spoke again.

"It’s eleven o’clock now, and I’ll wait for you until one. Remember, the reservation I made is for two." The man paused slightly, then his voice softened, "I believe you won’t disappoint me!"

...

"My Gaia, you’ll never disappoint me!"

...

It was as if his voice was echoing in her ears again.

"Goodbye."

In the moment Gan Yuan was lost in thought, the man had already bid farewell and hung up the phone.

The telephone receiver in her hand suddenly felt like a heavy burden, and Gan Yuan’s right hand drooped, her fingers tightening around it.

Now, with Huangfu Jue in the estate, how would she explain her departure?

What about Qiao Liang if she didn’t go.

The man had stood up for her several times in the restaurant and had taken great care of Gan Tang; she couldn’t ignore that.

Gan Yuan raised her hand to cover her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Footsteps hurried, and Huangfu Jue strode out; seeing him, she quickly lowered her hand.

"Ajue..."
