"No," she tightened her arms slightly, "I just... want to stay with you a little longer."
Moses had already chased them here. It was urgent to leave, but before that, she wanted to stay with him as long as possible.
The girl’s tone was filled with attachment.
She was alone, without even a friend other than Gan Tang. Out of compassion, Huangfu Jue held her tight and gently kissed her forehead.
"From now until tomorrow morning, I’ll be with you the whole time. Whatever you want to do, I’ll do it with you!"
Her face lit up like that of a little girl experiencing joy.
The man nodded with a smile.
"Then I need to think carefully."
She really started to ponder.
In the past, she had imagined many things, wanting to see the world’s most beautiful scenes with him—feeling the breeze on the beaches of Sicily, watching the auroras during the long nights in the Arctic snowfields, or even doing mundane things like other couples, such as strolling and watching a movie together, or idly spending time in some café...
But now, thinking about it seemed unrealistic. Let alone the current dangers lurking around, even without the threat of assassins, his status would probably cause a media frenzy if he really went with her to a cinema.
By the time the car returned to the manor, she still hadn’t figured out what she wanted to do with him.
On the steps, Gan Tang saw them coming back and immediately ran down to greet them.
Hearing her son’s call, Gan Yuan snapped back to reality, realizing that she was still holding onto Huangfu Jue’s waist and nestling in his arms. She blushed, quickly straightened up, and climbed out of the car.
"Handsome boy, have you eaten?"
"I finished eating a while ago." Gan Tang glanced at Huangfu Jue, who climbed out of the car right after him, "Now, I’m going to take a walk in the garden with Teacher Sherry."
After saying that, the little guy gave Huangfu Jue a look that said, "Now I’m leaving Mommy to you," and walked towards the garden with Sherry.
Gan Yuan hurriedly reminded, "Don’t go too far, remember you still need to take a nap later."
"Got it." The little guy didn’t look back he waved and walked away.
"Sir!" The butler approached, "Shall I prepare lunch for the two of you?"
Before Huangfu Jue could speak, Gan Yuan had already answered.
"After it’s ready, bring it up to the rooftop terrace."
If she couldn’t think of anything else, then they would start with a real "lunch for two"!
After speaking, she stretched out her hand to grab his palm, leading him up the steps. Huangfu Jue gestured to Will and followed her upstairs.
All the way to the top garden terrace, Gan Yuan took him there and settled him down at the table.
"Wait for me!" She smiled at him and quickly ran off. As she reached the terrace entrance, she didn’t forget to wave back at him, "Don’t move from there!"
Huangfu Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, "What exactly are you up to?"
"Wait, and don’t move!"
She gestured from afar and turned to run away.
Huangfu Jue looked towards the exit, paused for a moment, then smiled again, sitting patiently.
When the servant arrived with the lunch, Gan Yuan also came back. Setting aside the small bag she was carrying, she took out a match and carefully lit the candle on the table. After extinguishing the match and tossing it into the ashtray, she proudly curled her lips.
"I know it’s daytime, but I just want to have a candlelit lunch!" She reached across the table to hold his chin, "Don’t you dare laugh at me!
Come on, let’s have a candlelit breakfast together~!~
