"Xiaotang!" Huangfu Jue glanced at him reproachfully, "Stop it!"
"Mommy is a little tired and doesn’t want to dance!" Gan Yuan replied with a smile to the little guy, "Why don’t we... go out and have a look first?"
Gan Yuan took Gan Tang by the hand, and Gan Tang pulled hard on Huangfu Jue’s fingers.
Huangfu Jue frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled, and Gan Yuan turned his eyes toward him.
"If Daddy doesn’t want to go, why don’t you go with Mommy?"
"My son must stay with me," Huangfu Jue said deliberately contradicting him, and then he immediately stepped forward, holding Xiaotang’s hand, who was still clutching Gan Yuan’s.
Thus, the family of three walked outside "hand in hand."
Moses followed behind the trio, his dark eyes falling on Gan Tang’s tight grip on Gan Yuan’s small hand.
At that moment, Jessica, Paul, Will, and another assistant had also arrived at their side, and seeing the scene, everyone kept silent.
Unintentionally, Jessica’s gaze met Will’s, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. Catching her expression, Will’s lips curled into a smile.
In front of so many people, and with Moses present, Jessica managed to hold back from making a scene, though she was so angered by him her lungs nearly burst.
Gan Tang held tightly to both their hands, making the three of them weave through the crowd like conjoined twins.
Inside the main hall, guests were chatting in groups of two or three. Seeing Huangfu Jue, many people came up to greet him and strike up a conversation, and seeing Gan Yuan, they greeted him as well.
In recent times, Gan Yuan had been active across F Country, and his face was naturally well known to many.
Watching the family of three "walk hand in hand," everyone was a bit puzzled—had the two of them reconciled?
Of course, this was just a thought in their minds, something they naturally wouldn’t dare to voice out loud.
Because of this thought, people were even more respectful and cautious when interacting with Gan Yuan.
Not far away, Annie watched Gan Yuan’s silhouette from a distance, her brow furrowed.
"What are you waiting for?" Marquis Smith gently nudged her arm, "The first tune is about to start."
Annie was well aware that her father meant for her to invite Huangfu Jue, and she disdainfully jerked her chin towards Gan Tang, "Didn’t you see that child?"
Marquis Smith frowned, "If you can’t even handle a child, how can you aspire to be President?"
Adjusting her emotions, Annie stepped forward to intercept Huangfu Jue’s path, extending her right hand elegantly toward him.
"Duke, the tune is about to begin, may I have the honor of inviting you to dance?"
Before Huangfu Jue could answer, Gan Tang had already raised his voice.
"Little Prince!" Annie struggled to maintain her patience and bent down gently toward him, "And why not?"
"Because my daddy already has a dance partner, and that’s my mommy." The little guy said, raising his face, "Why are you trying to steal someone else’s husband? Don’t you know that a dad and a mom are a pair?"
"I..." Annie’s expression froze, taken aback by such words coming from such a small child, "I didn’t mean it that way, I just wanted to dance with the Duke, that’s all?"
"With so many men around, why do you insist on inviting him?" the little one questioned further.
"This..." Annie’s heart wished she could throw him out on the street, yet she forced a patient demeanor onto her face, "Because your father is a very charming man, so..."
