Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Giant Conjoined Twins (2)

"So, you want to marry him and become the queen?"

"I... I..."

Even someone as articulate as Annie was at a loss for words.

Of course, that’s what she thought in her heart, but how could she say such things out loud? She had always been cautious not to appear too eager around Huangfu Jue, for fear that he would be put off. Now being questioned by the child, she simply didn’t know how to respond.

To tell the truth, she was not only afraid of offending the Duke but also frightened that the onlookers would mock her.

If she were to tell a lie, to say she had no thoughts about the Duke, and he believed it to be true, wouldn’t all her efforts be for naught?

In the music room, as the conductor’s baton went down, the first dance began.

The men who had wanted to ask Gan Yuan to dance, seeing Huangfu Jue standing by her side, hesitated and stepped back.

"Daddy, ask Mommy to dance!" Gan Tang cooed, shaking his arm, "Daddy."

The little one knew that they were only temporarily apart, not truly separated.

But he worried so much that, if Huangfu Jue really danced with Annie, he couldn’t bear to let go.

"Gan Tang!" Gan Yuan’s voice became stern, "Mommy’s angry!"

The child cast a stealthy glance at her and, seeing that Gan Yuan was truly upset, pouted and stopped pestering Huangfu Jue.

"Come on!" At that moment, Will approached and scooped up the child into his arms, "Uncle Will will take you to see something fun!"

Though the little one was reluctant, he did not throw a tantrum, and Will carried him up the staircase.

"Let’s go upstairs."

On the side, Moses watched the scene from afar, holding a glass of wine. When he saw Gan Yuan walk toward him, he immediately went to greet her.

"Come on, I’ll introduce you to a few people."

Paul followed Moses, Jessica deliberately lagged behind. Glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, she caught a glimpse of the silhouette of Will holding the child and sneered coldly before stepping forward to catch up.

Huangfu Jue stood still, watching as Gan Yuan walked away on Moses’s arm, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Duke..." Annie finally spoke softly, "I’m really sorry about earlier, I..."

Before Annie could choose her words, Huangfu Jue excused himself and turned to leave. The second half of her sentence got stuck in her throat, coming out with no one to hear it, and leaving her feeling choked and uncomfortable.

In a corner of the banquet hall.

Qian Xueying observed everything and let out a light, mocking laugh.

"Such a person isn’t even qualified to be my enemy! Xiuyi?"

"Don’t worry, everything is arranged," Xiuyi whispered.

"Very good." Qian Xueying took a glass from a passing waiter, "After I go over there, you start."

"Please be careful," Xiuyi cautioned.

"I know." Qian Xueying nodded at him and smiled as she walked toward Huangfu Jue.

She didn’t head straight for Huangfu Jue; instead, she stopped a short distance away to chat with an acquaintance, then pretended to notice Huangfu, approached him, and raised her glass in greeting.

"Duke, congratulations on the smooth progress of your cooperation with F Country."

"What about you?" Abel asked with a smile, "Miss Xueying, didn’t you notice there’s a handsome man here too?"

"How could I not?" Qian Xueying turned slightly, raising her glass to Abel, "Mr. Abel, long time no see!"

Looking around and not seeing Will or Gan Tang, Huangfu Jue couldn’t help feeling anxious. Seeing Qian Xueying talking with Abel, he turned to leave.
