Gan Yuan knew he was referring to the hotel management issue they had discussed before, the one he would soon be opening.
"This one?" Gan Yuan raised both hands and intertwined her fingers, "Well, let’s see, how about my compensation? You do know that I’m about to marry the future King, so my worth is quite high."
After thinking for a moment, the man picked up a silver bell from the table and gently shook it. The butler came in, and he instructed him to fetch a check.
Gan Yuan was taken aback, "Hey, I was just kidding!"
"Business is business," the man replied seriously.
Shortly after, the butler had already brought back a checkbook and a pen. The man took it, wrote a few words earnestly, and handed it to her.
"Is this compensation okay?"
This guy, he’s actually serious?
Gan Yuan reached out and took the check, looking at the figure written— "Love you, for all my life," signed with his full name and the date beneath it.
She was startled, then she burst out laughing.
Central Square was a sea of flowers, with national flags, streamers... the entire square was redecorated anew.
Before the sky even brightened, many citizens had already rushed over, eager to witness this extraordinary celebration.
The event staff conducted a tense and thorough inspection to ensure order and safety for the celebration. The Royal Guard prepared for the review was already in full regalia, just waiting for that most solemn moment to arrive.
The square seemed calm, but every staff member was seriously busy at work.
Inside the Imperial Palace, the situation was the same, with the staff also bustling about.
Everyone got up early, whether it was the King or the Queen, even the Little Princess Chongchong was no exception.
After breakfast, Chongchong returned to her room, changed into the formal dress prepared by the staff, and went through necessary preparations like makeup.
On such a big day, even a carefree person like her took it very seriously.
Once she was dressed, she immediately stood up and walked to the balcony to look down below.
"It’s so late, why hasn’t big brother arrived yet?"
"Princess," the maid said with a smile, "It’s only seven o’clock now, still early."
"Can’t help it, I’m already so eager to see my mysterious sister-in-law and my little nephew!" she said, then turned briskly, walked to the desk, pulled open the drawer, and took out a beautifully wrapped gift box, "Almost forgot, the present I’ve prepared for that child."
Downstairs, a convoy drove in.
"They’re here!" the maid immediately alerted.
Chongchong walked back to the window and handed the gift box to the maid, then turned to look outside.
As expected, the convoy below had already reached the steps, and then the car doors were opened by the staff.
The first to get out of the car was Huangfu Jue, dressed in a black military uniform with a sash slung across his shoulder. After him, a young girl in a white dress was helped out of the car by him.
From this angle, Chongchong couldn’t see the girl’s face, but she could still feel the aura emanating from her.
Standing beside such an outstanding man, she still had a very significant presence, dazzling and eye-catching.
Then, Chongchong saw the little nephew she had been longing for.
The little guy was in a black suit with a gold bow tie and decorative handkerchief, everything about him exuded elegance.
Chongchong smiled, "This kid, he really takes after my brother!"
With a sigh, she turned and hurried to the door.
