Chapter 644: Chapter 645: Stinking Woman (1)

"Huangfu Jue had given an order, and Will could not disobey.

With no other choice, he braced himself and strode into the living room, heading in the direction of Gan Yuan and Jessica, all the while pondering what method to use.

Having joined the military in his youth, Will had spent several years in the army before being selected as Huangfu Jue’s assistant. He was adept in combat and outstanding in his work abilities, but when it came to dealing with women... he was severely lacking in experience.

Moreover, his relationship with Jessica was in such an awkward situation.

Should he just walk over, pretend to be a stranger, and say, ’Hello, I am Will.’

No!

Or perhaps, approach her directly and say, ’Jessica, I have something to discuss with you?’

No!

...

Still no.

After rejecting a number of methods, Will found none that seemed right, so he just slowed down, buying time to think.

At this moment, Gan Yuan was already walking into the living room with Jessica, and upon noticing the old Marquis chatting with guests in the center, she immediately lifted the corners of her mouth and smiled as she walked over.

’Marquis, Miss Annie!’

The old Marquis turned his face, and upon seeing the brightly dressed Gan Yuan, he frowned slightly.

He had assumed she was only speaking in jest, that she would never attend a gathering at his home since there was bad blood between them. Yet, this woman truly did not play by the rules.

Thinking of his daughter still in jail, the old Marquis inwardly clenched his teeth.

Annie, however, had already begun speaking with a smile, ’Miss Gan!’

Gan Yuan extended her hand, ’Your dress is beautiful.’

’So is yours!’ Annie returned the compliment graciously.

The old Marquis knew that this was not the time to be petty and thus suppressed his anger, ’It is truly regrettable, I was feeling unwell this morning and couldn’t attend your ceremony.’

’You are too kind,’ Gan Yuan said with a warm smile, ’I came here precisely to visit you. Seeing you now, you seem to be in good health, yes? I wonder, Marquis, if you would be interested in personally presiding over my ceremony?’

’This...’ the old Marquis feigned surprise, ’You haven’t completed the ceremony?’

Since he was meant to officiate and had not attended, how could it be completed?

This old fox was still playing dumb with her.

Gan Yuan secretly scoffed, then said with a smile,

’As a veteran in the party, how could we dare to proceed without you, Marquis? So, does this mean I can take it as your consent?’

The old Marquis laughed, ’It is indeed unfortunate, for I have plans to discuss a cooperation between two nations with Duchess Teresa and Annie tomorrow... I’m afraid I won’t have time.’

’Indeed, Miss Gan!’ Annie also chimed in with a smile, ’It’s a pity, we could have taken the Duke with us to attend, but it might be... inconvenient for you.’

Gan Yuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Huangfu Jue?! He’s here too!

With this realization, Gan Yuan instinctively looked around. As soon as she glanced to the side, she saw a tall figure already parting the crowd, making his way towards her.

Her heart tightened at once.

Under the watchful eyes of all, what was he planning to do by coming over like this?!

’I need to talk to you,’ Huangfu Jue spoke arrogantly, his tone proud and commanding.

Jessica had been following close by Gan Yuan’s side. Seeing Huangfu Jue’s sudden appearance and sensing trouble, she instinctively stepped forward to try and put distance between Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue.

As her right foot stepped out, her right arm was already seized by a hand.

Turning her face in confusion, before she could make out who had grabbed her, she was already being pulled through the crowd and away."
