He turned his head, glancing toward the direction of the bathroom.
"I’ll be right down."
After hanging up the phone, Huangfu Jue stepped to the bathroom door and knocked.
"I’ll go downstairs first, come down after you finish bathing."
From inside the bathroom, Gan Yuan responded.
Watching the bathroom door for a moment, the man pursed his lips and turned to leave the bedroom.
Moments later, Gan Yuan pushed open the door and came out, carelessly running her fingers through her not fully dry hair, and walked into the wardrobe to casually grab a set of comfortable casual clothes.
After taking the clothes off the hanger, she stopped and turned her eyes to the rack beside her.
On the rack were clothes he had prepared for her, ranging from sportswear to formal attire, not only spring and summer outfits... but even several coats for winter in the corner... These clothes were enough for her to wear for years.
Her fingers gently caressed those sheer and lavish dresses, trembling slightly.
Pressing her lips together, she hung the casual clothes back on the rack, looked around, and then retrieved a red and black color-block dress from the rack.
It had been six years since she had worn such a bold color; today, she would make an exception for him.
In the mirror, a tall girl with black hair, black attire, and a red dress was reflected... Pure colors, bold yet graceful.
Turning around, she stepped out of the dressing room and walked toward the door, her hand reaching for the doorknob then drawing back, pivoting to return to the mirror, she opened the drawer of the dressing table.
Indeed, as she had expected, there were complete sets of brand-new skincare and makeup products; the drawers on the other side contained jewelry, from stud and dangle earrings to necklaces, from everyday wear to opulent formal accessories... everything a woman needed was there.
She brushed her fingers over the unopened cosmetics and sat down at the dressing table.
Gan Yuan, who had always been low-profile, for the first time in six years put on the most suitable light makeup for herself, wore such intense colors for the first time... and for the first time fully showcased her beauty.
The reason was nothing other than a man.
She wanted him to see the best of herself.
Putting the lipstick back into the drawer, she stood up and walked over, pulling open the door once more.
At a glance, her eyes widened in astonishment.
Her sight was greeted by a wall of flowers—not bouquets, but real flowers planted in pots, their vines wrapping around the ornate black metal columns, with red roses blooming like flames on the branches.
The intertwining branches abruptly formed a long corridor of flowers.
Even someone as worldly as Gan Yuan was stunned by this setup.
Had she not just taken a bath and been completely awake, she would have almost thought she was dreaming.
It took her several seconds to snap out of it, and then she slowly walked through the flower wall toward the stairs.
Not only the hallway, but the stairs were the same.
This guy... what the hell is he doing?!
With a stomach full of questions, Gan Yuan slowly descended the stairs.
Huangfu Jue stood in the middle of the room, with his hands in his pockets, pacing restlessly.
The man who had never been nervous even when facing the nation’s people, at this moment couldn’t find his calm.
With no one else in the living room, her footsteps sounded particularly clear.
Hearing the sound of high heels on the stairs, he abruptly turned around.
At just one glance, he saw Gan Yuan standing in front of a wall of flowers on the stairs.
The girl in black attire and a red dress, her lip color as bright as rose petals.
