Chapter 394: Chapter 395 Coquetry
"The butler told me that this morning someone phoned the estate looking for Miss Gan." Will pursed his lips, "It was a... young male."
Huangfu Jue subtly raised an eyebrow.
"Please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean it that way." Will hurried to explain, "It’s just that the butler told me to pass the message onto you."
Huangfu Jue’s expression darkened, and he spoke with authority.
"Remember, she is my fiancée, not a slave. Notify everyone that this shall not happen again!"
They had actually dared to intrude on her privacy and quietly report to him. In Huangfu Jue’s view, this was completely disrespectful.
"Yes, sir." Will busily complied.
Soon, the car turned onto Central Avenue, and before long, the Royal Palace was already within sight.
As the car drove through the gates of the Royal Palace, and he gazed at the splendid and majestic building not far away, Huangfu Jue’s eyes also took on a deep hue.
What would their reaction be upon learning what he had done for Gan Yuan?
Noting Huangfu Jue’s expression, Will also wisely chose to remain silent.
The car stopped at the towering steps of the palace, and as the guards opened the door, Huangfu Jue stepped out onto the stairs, where the guards standing on either side immediately saluted him.
"Your Highness!" Inside the hall, a Palace Assistant saw him and promptly came over to greet him, "The Queen is waiting for you in the study."
Huangfu Jue nodded slightly and quickly ascended to the third floor, arriving in front of the study door.
The servant pushed open the door, and he immediately saw his mother, Leng Xiaoye, sitting at the desk writing.
"Come in."
Holding a pen, Leng Xiaoye said without lifting her head.
Huangfu Jue walked into the study, approached the desk, and his glance swept over the invitation she was writing. The corner of his eye briefly caught the computer screen, causing his eyebrows to subtly lift.
On the screen, there were two news web pages open. The top one was playing a video—in it, he was embracing Gan Yuan in the rain.
After signing her name at the bottom right corner of the invitation, Leng Xiaoye glanced at the video.
"Hmm... it’s a pity the resolution is so low, otherwise... the image would have been very beautiful."
Her tone was indistinguishable between sarcasm and lament.
"Ahem!" Huangfu Jue cleared his throat softly, "As you know, I... can’t let her go."
"So..." Leng Xiaoye lifted her face, tapping the desk lightly with her pen, "You are getting married, is that it?"
"I’m sorry, I... didn’t discuss it with you. But, I believe... this is my affair."
"Yes, of course." Leng Xiaoye spread her hands, "Indeed, it is your affair. So, after you leave, this matter doesn’t concern me anyway, does it?"
Huangfu Jue sighed softly, "I’m sorry."
His father might be domineering, but the one he truly found difficult to deal with was his mother.
If it were his father, he could argue back without hesitation, sticking to his guns. But facing his mother, his assertiveness would always significantly diminish.
He had witnessed his mother’s pain when she gave birth to his sister and knew too well that the agony she endured during his and his brother’s births must have been doubly intense.
How could he possibly be firm with a woman who had carried and raised him?
Leng Xiaoye gently raised an eyebrow, "Just an apology?"
He was helpless, took a deep breath, and in the end, softened his voice.
"Mommy!"
A glint of amusement flashed in Leng Xiaoye’s eyes. It had been so many years since he had called her that way.
This child wasn’t like Huangfu Qi; after the age of six, he had not been coddled by her again, and today, for another woman, he was pleading with her like this.
