73: Chapter 74: Underestimated Her (5)
As the car drove out of the ancient castle gate, the maid had already gone upstairs with the clean sheets, intending to tidy up the room for the mother and son.
Upon reaching the second floor, she saw Will standing at the top of the stairs.
“From now on, without the gentleman’s orders, no one is allowed upstairs.”
The maid immediately nodded her head and retreated down the stairs.
Behind the gauze curtain of the master bedroom, Huangfu Jue watched the two get into the car and drive away.
He kept his gaze on the car’s taillights until they disappeared around the corner of the tree-lined path.
Only then did he turn around and walk out the door.
He descended to the second floor, and as soon as Will saw him, he followed him into the room where Gan Yuan and his son stayed, then turned left into Gan Tang’s room.
The bed and pillows were neatly arranged, and the books and paintbrushes that Gan Tang had brought were orderly placed on the table next to it.
It was evident that the little guy was just like him, a very organized person.
Huangfu Jue gently raised his finger, and Will immediately approached, carefully lifting the quilt and taking out a magnifying glass to search meticulously on the pillow.
Glancing around, Huangfu Jue strolled over to the table.
On the table was an almost finished drawing by the little guy, depicting the castle in the background.
On the lawn in front of the castle, there were several unusually posed horses.
One of the horses bore a woman with long hair fluttered by the wind, with a short-haired boy in her arms, presumably depicting him and Gan Yuan.
Beside the horse was another man leading it for them.
Golden-brown short hair, blue eyes… that man was unmistakably his double.
Written below the drawing in somewhat childlike Chinese was the word – “Home”.
Gazing at the affectionate family of three in the drawing, Huangfu Jue’s lips curled slightly upward.
Although Gan Tang’s brushstrokes were still somewhat immature, his grasp of color and lines was handled very well…
“Sir,” Will came over, “I… didn’t find any hair.”
Huangfu Jue frowned and commanded sharply, “Then search again, the bathroom, the wastebasket, the dressing table… every possible place.”
Will pursed his lips and turned to continue the search.
After a while, he came back.
“Sir, there really isn’t any!”
Huangfu Jue turned around, looked at him for a moment, then couldn’t suppress the urge to step forward and pulled him aside.
He carefully picked up the pillow that Gan Tang had slept on.
On the white sheets, it was impeccably clean without a single strand of hair to be seen.
How could that be possible?
“Could it be, has the room been cleaned already?”
“Impossible, I’ve already given orders for them not to tidy up the rooms.”
Huangfu Jue raised an eyebrow and strode out of Gan Tang’s room into the opposite bedroom of Gan Yuan, pulling back the quilt.
The bed was just as clean, with not a hair in sight.
“Damn girl!” he cursed through clenched teeth.
It defied all logic unless someone had meticulously cleaned up.
Otherwise, it was impossible for a woman with long hair to sleep on a bed all night without leaving a single strand behind.
Will stood by, not daring to take a breath.
Suddenly, the man chuckled lightly.
“It seems you really do have something to hide!”
Not even her own hair was left behind; that damn girl must have made a fake with her own hair.
Indeed, he had underestimated her!
Seeing his expression soften, Will finally spoke softly, “Sir, what do we do now?”
Huangfu Jue put Gan Yuan’s pillow back in place, his fingers gently gliding over its surface.
The silk pillow was cool and smooth, like her skin.
He slowly withdrew his fingers and stood up straight.
“Inform them to courier the previously tested samples here.
Also, arrange a banquet after the photoshoot is complete.”
