Chapter 459: Chapter 460: Mommy, Look Quick

The little guy touched his cheek, wanting to wipe it but too embarrassed to do so, his little face turning red. Chongchong, watching this, couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"Gan Yuan loves you to death, it’s just too bad you’re still too small, otherwise, I would definitely take you with me."

After putting the little one down, she hugged Huangfu Jue goodbye and then stopped in front of Gan Yuan, extending her arms to gently embrace her by the shoulders, and whispered something in Chinese in her ear.

"Sister-in-law, hang in there!"

Gan Yuan smiled and nodded her head, as Chongchong waved goodbye to everyone and winked at Gan Tang.

"The lipstick mark can wait until I’m gone before wiping."

Smiling, she patted the little one on the head and turned away, leaving the scene with two staff members.

The little guy covered his face, watching Chongchong walk through the corridor, and immediately rubbed his cheek forcefully with a handkerchief, checking with Gan Yuan afterward to make sure there were no lipstick marks left before finally taking a deep breath of relief.

"Your Highness, Miss Gan." Qian Xueying, supporting Duke Locke, approached the trio, not forgetting to smile and greet the little one. "And our little Highness... Gan Tang."

"This is Duke Locke and Miss Xueying."

Gan Yuan smiled as she introduced them to Gan Tang, who politely greeted the two. Qian Xueying reached out to pat his head, but the little one stepped back discreetly to avoid the touch.

He wasn’t the type to casually get close to people, and for the one in front of him, he didn’t feel the same closeness and fondness as he did for Chongchong, hence instinctively avoiding her approach.

"He’s a bit shy," Gan Yuan explained apologetically.

"It’s okay." Qian Xueying smiled. "Bring him to Duke Residence to play when you have time!"

"We’ll see," Gan Yuan replied, making polite conversation.

After a brief exchange, Qian Xueying helped Duke Locke away, bidding farewell.

As the pair walked further away, Gan Yuan’s eyes followed the weakened figure of Duke Locke, her brows furrowing slightly.

Having not seen him for a few days, the Duke seemed to have changed a lot compared to before, not only looking much older but also lacking the sharpness in his eyes.

Just now, he had hardly spoken, and it felt as if he might have succumbed to senile dementia.

"Duke Locke seems like a completely different person." Will reflected somberly, "It seems Miss Nancy’s incident really affected him tremendously."

Huangfu Jue’s tone was neutral. "Can’t blame others."

It was the Duke who raised his daughter, and Huangfu Jue knew that with Nancy’s character and temper, it was only a matter of time before a major incident occurred. What was the use of regrets and sorrow now?

Will nodded in agreement, "It’s just a pity, he always sought strength and curiosity, and yet in the end, the family business will be passed to outsiders, truly ironic."

Huangfu Jue clearly wasn’t interested and, after saying goodbye to Gan Yuan and Gan Tang’s parents, returned to Duke Residence with the others.

After a short rest and dinner, Huangfu Jue instructed Will to arrange his men, then got up from the dining chair.

"Let me go change into another set of clothes, and then we can leave immediately!"

Gan Tang went upstairs to fetch his small DV camera, and Gan Yuan had the servants prepare some snacks and water to carry with them in case of need.

Mother and son prepared separately and then gathered in the living room.

Upstairs, Huangfu Jue, who had gone to change clothes, had already returned.

Hearing footsteps, Gan Tang, holding the camera, turned around and saw the man coming down the stairs, his eyes widening even further.

"Wow... Mummy, look!"

"What is it?"

Gan Yuan took the snacks from the servant and put them in her backpack, turned to look at the staircase, and upon seeing Huangfu Jue descending, she too froze in action, a look of surprise crossing her face.
