The little fellow lifted his lips, noticed Gan Yuan’s gaze, and immediately reeled in his mischievous smile, taking the initiative to walk over to Leng Xiaoye.
"Hello, Grandma, I’m Xiaotang."
Chongchong only worried that his mother would be too cold toward the little fellow and quickly came over, holding Xiaotang’s shoulders, "Mommy, look, doesn’t the little fellow look a lot like brother? Apart from the eyes, it’s like they were cast from the same mold!"
"Yes." Leng Xiaoye reached out to pinch the little fellow’s cheeks, "Very much alike."
At this moment, Huangfu Yaoyang had stepped out of the entrance hall, and all the guards and staff, upon seeing him, immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Chongchong immediately led Xiaotang to his father’s side.
"Xiaotang, guess who this is?"
The little fellow lifted his face to meet the man’s gaze.
Huangfu Yaoyang merely responded indifferently, showing no closeness to Xiaotang, and continued walking toward the steps.
Staff members opened the car door, and Leng Xiaoye got into the car with Huangfu Yaoyang. Chongchong waved to Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang, see you at the square."
She then slipped into her parents’ car, and Huangfu Jue held Xiaotang’s hand and walked to Gan Yuan’s side while Gan Tang lifted her little hand and waved inside the car.
Through the sliding car window, he clearly saw Huangfu Yaoyang turning his face to look at him, with his left hand seemingly casually propped on the window, giving him a thumbs up.
The little fellow, receiving the signal from his grandfather, curved his mouth upwards into a smile that showed a mutual understanding.
"Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma, Auntie, see you in a bit."
Huangfu Jue and Gan Yuan held his hand to help him into the car, Gan Yuan was afraid her son would be unhappy because of Huangfu Yaoyang’s coldness.
"Grandpa... he doesn’t talk much, it’s not that he doesn’t like you."
The little fellow smiled carefreely.
Seeing that he was not disheartened, Gan Yuan secretly sighed with relief.
The motorcade started, heading for Central Square.
Central Square was swarming with people.
Guest journalists from various countries, people from all over the country who came to visit the celebration...even including several streets near Central Square, were all packed with pedestrians.
If it were not for traffic control in advance, the roads would have been impossibly congested.
Seeing the Royal Family’s motorcade pass by, the people on both sides excitedly waved their national flags and royal crest banners, shouting the surname of the Royal Family and King Huangfu Yaoyang’s name.
Men, women, the elderly, children...
National flags, flowers, banners, slogans...
Such atmosphere cannot be felt unless one is truly there.
Seeing Xiaotang leaning to look out of the window, Huangfu Jue extended his hand to bring him onto his lap, so he could more easily see everything outside the window.
Soon, the motorcade had driven down Central Avenue and arrived at the side of the square where the Parliament Hall was located.
Shortly, they would inspect the Royal Guard Squad from the tribune facing the street in front of the Parliament Hall.
His gaze falling on the towering sculpture in the center of the square, Gan Tang looked around and then exclaimed with his mouth wide open.
Numerous flowers made up several flowerbeds, with the largest one surrounding the sculpture, where red, black, and yellow flowers were arranged into a huge Royal Family emblem - a rose and a sword.
When the Royal motorcade drove up to the Parliament Hall, all the people cheered along, and amidst the cheering, countless balloons flew towards the sky, turning the entire square into a peak of excitement.
