The tea in the cup was steaming, and looking through that layer of heat, everything became blurry.
Seeing Gan Yuan standing still without moving, the man frowned, "Don’t want to drink tea?"
She reached out with both hands, enclosed the cup along with his large hands, and leaned in to take a light sip of the slightly hot tea from the cup.
Being picky about his tastes, the man naturally expected no less from his tea. The finest leaves, in the most optimal blend, culminated in a perfectly balanced fragrance and a smooth, lingering taste.
"If you don’t flavor, I can have them change it for you."
She lifted her face and gave him a smile.
"No need, it’s delicious."
The man gently wiped the tea from the corner of her lips with the back of his finger, his tone both serious and affectionate.
"In front of me, you never have to pretend. Tell me what you want, and I will do everything in my power to satisfy you."
Back at the hotel, he had seen her feigned indifference, her pretense of being aggrieved and compliant... He didn’t want those things to happen again.
She should be as willful and outspoken as she was six years ago, doing whatever she wanted without compromising for anyone.
"All right!" She smiled like a child, "I want to drink black tea."
The man chuckled softly, lifting the cup to her lips.
From not far away, the light laughter of the little guy was heard.
Gan Yuan lifted her face and glared over, but the little guy had already turned and fled back to Will’s side.
Huangfu Jue’s eyes followed, glancing at the retreating figure of the little guy.
"You have the best son in the world."
"That’s because my genes are good enough."
When it came to her son, she never hid her pride.
Even though the little rascal often exasperated her to no end, she had always been proud of him from the start.
"I think he takes after me more." Huangfu Jue removed the empty cup from her mouth, "He’s the eldest son. According to the rules, he will inherit the throne just like I did, and I want to train him to be a good king."
Her lighthearted mood suddenly grew heavy, and Gan Yuan pursed her lips without making a sound.
Not hearing her response, he looked down in confusion, and she turned her face towards the plane window.
"Are we almost there?"
By this time, the plane had already flown over the capital of A Country, starting its descent.
"Yes!" He looked out the window and raised his hand to point for her, "That direction is the Royal Palace. In the future, we will live there."
Gazing at the Splendid Royal Palace in the middle of the city through the plane’s window, her heart was bitter, but her face still maintained a smile.
However, it’s a pity, she feared she might not have the chance to live there!
The private jet swept across much of the city and touched down on the steps of the main building of an estate on the outskirts of the city.
This estate was a gift from his parents to Huangfu Jue after he was officially crowned Crown Prince. It was more secluded, and he didn’t usually live here.
Huangfu Jue brought Gan Yuan and her son directly here to prevent running into reporters at the airport and to give them a more private space. After all, their identities hadn’t been made public. Before then, exposing them to the public eye wouldn’t be a wise choice.
Although Will had been informed in advance, the butler and maids still couldn’t hide their surprise when they saw Gan Yuan and her son descend from the plane.
After all, she was the first woman Huangfu Jue had brought home.
