"I just..." Gan Yuan gazed towards the doorway of the corridor, "I always feel so familiar with this place."
Moses then lifted the corners of his lips in a smile, "That’s because this place originally belongs to you."
Gan Yuan was startled, then suddenly heard Paul, who was by her side, speak up.
By her side, Paul was grabbing Jessica’s arm, while Jessica herself glared with eyes wide open, furiously staring into the distance.
Gan Yuan followed her gaze, turning her head to see several figures slowly approaching from not far away.
Leading them was Huangfu Jue, holding Gan Tang’s hand, with Will following on his left. The person Jessica was glaring at was indeed Will.
As F Country’s most important guest, Huangfu Jue was, of course, included in the President’s invitation. Knowing that Gan Yuan might also be there, he had specifically brought Gan Tang along to create an opportunity for a reunion between mother and son.
When they spotted them, Huangfu Jue certainly saw Gan Yuan too. Gently shaking his son’s hand, he gave a subtle signal.
The little guy got the hint and immediately let go of his hand, trotting over to Gan Yuan.
Stepping forward to hold her son’s shoulders, Gan Yuan smiled and rubbed his soft, short hair.
"Have you been okay these past few days?"
These days, she had been busy dealing with Annie from the Liberal Party and was also worried about Moses finding out, which is why she hadn’t rashly met with her son.
"Yeah!" The little fellow nodded, "And you, Mommy?"
"Mommy has been very good too." Gan Yuan stroked his little face and gently kissed his cheek.
By then, Huangfu Jue and Will had arrived in front of the group.
Seeing an enemy, Jessica couldn’t contain her rage. She had been struggling to suppress the urge to beat Will into a sieve these days, and now that he was right before her eyes, she couldn’t hold back any longer and shook off Paul’s grip, ready to charge.
"You bastard, I’ll kill..."
"Jessica!" Paul forcefully grabbed her arm, "Calm down!"
Will, standing behind Huangfu Jue, took in her frenzy like a little wildcat, simply lifting the corners of his lips to reveal an enchanting smile.
"Xiaotang, it’s time for us to go."
Huangfu Jue reached out to hold the child’s small hand, his handsome face wearing an expression of cool detachment.
Gan Yuan stood up and patted her son’s shoulder.
"Goodbye, Mommy." The little guy waved at her, his gaze then falling on Moses, "Goodbye, Uncle Moses."
Upon hearing that tender voice say "Uncle Moses," Moses couldn’t help but be caught off guard.
By the time he snapped back to reality, the little fellow had already been led away by Huangfu Jue.
Moses then raised his arm and reassuringly patted Gan Yuan’s arm, "Let’s go too!"
It was only then that Paul let go of Jessica, and the group continued forward. Moses turned his head, giving Jessica a deeply contemplative look.
Knowing she had been too impulsive, Jessica hung her head.
As they arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, a waiter immediately took the invitation from Paul and led them into the hall.
Inside the banquet hall, several long tables laid side by side in rows. Moses and Gan Yuan, due to their distinguished status, were seated at the center table with the President. Paul and Jessica, being just assistants, could only sit at the adjacent tables.
Upon escorting Moses and Gan Yuan to their seats, the waiter politely helped Gan Yuan pull out her chair.
"Please take your seats!"
The two of them sat down, and Gan Yuan quickly scanned the surroundings.
At the table were important personages of F Country; Marquis Smith and Annie were naturally present, along with several officials from other nations.
