"Great! Now that your family of three is reunited, I’ll keep watch for you!"
Abel smiled and turned to leave.
Gan Tang slid down from Gan Yuan’s embrace, raised her little hand, gently touched her mother’s belly, and looked up at Gan Yuan with questioning eyes.
"Daddy said Mommy has another baby, is it true?"
Gan Yuan lifted her gaze to Huangfu Jue. Had he told their son about this, too?
"Xiaotang knows how to keep a secret."
Huangfu Jue expressed full trust in his son.
"Yeah, Mommy, don’t worry, it’s our secret for the three of us. Daddy said even Grandpa and Grandma can’t be told!" The little guy said as he touched her stomach again, "Is the baby a brother or a sister?"
"We won’t know until after he is born."
"How long will that be?"
"That long?" The little guy frowned slightly, "How big is he now?"
"About..." Gan Yuan took his little hand, "this size of your little fingernail."
"Ah... so small..." The little guy looked at his own fingernail, "Then when he’s born, won’t he be like Thumbelina?"
Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue both laughed, "The baby will grow little by little, and after a while, Mommy’s belly will start to swell." Huangfu Jue squatted down, patiently explaining, "Just like the pregnant lady we saw at the airport. When the baby is born, he’ll be about... three kilograms and half your height."
Gan Yuan imagined the weight of three kilograms, "That’s like carrying a big watermelon all day long. Won’t Mommy be very tired then?"
"It’s okay." Gan Yuan smiled and stroked his little head, "It’s a happiness, just like... when Mommy was pregnant with you."
The little guy nodded in confusion, rested his head against her chest, and Gan Yuan didn’t say anything else. She simply wrapped her arms around her son, kissed his hair, and her gaze fell on Huangfu Jue, who was in front of her. She reached out and covered his hand that was resting on her leg with her palm.
He had brought Xiaotang to see her, clearly wanting to give her a chance to see her child. Huangfu Jue held her hand, his tone tender and doting.
"This time, I brought Xiaotang over to participate in a children’s exchange event. He’ll be here for a week, and you can see him anytime it’s convenient for you."
Knowing she missed her child, he quietly brought the child over. He wanted to surprise her and also let her concentrate on her work without worries.
Gan Yuan didn’t speak again, but just hugged her son tightly and held his hand.
Having these two kids, the big and the small, they were the most important part of her life. As long as they were safe, she would not look back.
In the luxurious top-floor room of a hotel near the Royal Palace, a man stood by the table, gazing at the magnificent white palace from afar.
Hearing someone enter, the man did not turn around.
Paul walked up and stopped behind him.
"The kid isn’t here."
"Not here?" Moses turned around, "Where has he gone?"
"Huangfu Jue took him to F Country for a children’s exchange event."
"You mean to say..." Moses turned back around, "the kid is now in F Country."
"Yes. They left this morning, they should already be on their way to F Country by now."
