Chapter 699: Chapter 700 Father and Son Duet (2)

The piano’s light and melodious tones filled every corner as Huangfu Jue played, his gaze sweeping across the room. His eyes skated past other guests and lingered for a moment on that familiar figure in the distance. Then, he struck a forceful note, rose from the piano bench and left the entire piano to his son.

The little boy played earnestly, his small hands dancing rapidly over the keys, his delicate face a picture of intense focus.

Though there were nearly a hundred people present, he performed for just one person—this was a piece for Mommy.

For this reason, he put in an especially diligent effort.

Such a piece was certainly challenging for a child, and by the final flourish, his small hands almost seemed to take flight over the piano keys.

Not to mention the guests, even Gan Yuan, his mother, wore a face full of surprise.

Gan Tang could paint, and paint well, which she knew, but he had never formally learned to play the piano. How could he play such a difficult piece so well?

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed it to be true.

After a series of rapid passages, the little boy stood up and pressed heavily on the strings, concluding his entire piece.

The room fell silent for several seconds, then erupted into thunderous applause.

The little boy turned around, looked around the room, and upon spotting Gan Yuan not far away, he immediately dashed off the stage and ran up to her.

"Mommy!"

Bending down, Gan Yuan opened her arms and lifted her son from the ground, promptly planting several firm kisses on his small face.

"Mommy missed you so much!"

"Me too!" the little boy affectionately clung to her neck. "Did I play well?"

"You were outstanding!"

She did not hold back her praise.

The little boy beamed, his smile revealing how pleased he was. Mommy’s happiness meant his days of practice hadn’t been in vain.

On the stage, Huangfu Jue slowly stepped down the steps.

The surrounding guests immediately turned their attention to both of them. Everyone already knew the news about these two—the current scandal Gan Yuan was involved in was well-known, and it was no secret that the once-lovers were now at odds.

Reaching the pair, Huangfu Jue observed Gan Yuan with calm eyes.

"Xiaotang, come to Daddy!"

His voice was cold, his demeanor clearly expressing displeasure at his son’s actions. The little boy glanced at him then back at Gan Yuan, his eyes reflecting a trace of difficulty.

Huangfu Jue had already informed him that he would arrange for him to see his mommy again, but to part ways with her so soon after their reunion was understandably hard for the little boy.

"Xiaotang!"

Huangfu Jue’s voice took on a stern tone.

Of course, he didn’t want it to be this way either, but in front of such a large crowd, he couldn’t afford to show any warmth towards Gan Yuan.

"Duke!"

From behind the crowd, a female voice chimed in, soon followed by a figure making her way to their side.

Clad in a white princess dress with only a hint of makeup, her smile gentle and harmless, it was Qian Xueying.

Observing Gan Yuan holding her child, Qian Xueying turned to Huangfu Jue with a smile. "It’s normal for a child to miss his mommy, and after all, Miss Gan is Gan Tang’s mother. Why not allow them... some time alone together?"

Gan Yuan heard it, but only laughed inside.

This woman’s acting skills were truly masterful—if she hadn’t known of her trickery beforehand, she might have actually believed it was a kind gesture.

Huangfu Jue’s expression remained unyielding, "Miss Qian, I would prefer that you refrain from meddling in my family affairs. Xiaotang, come here immediately!"
