"Anton?" Gan Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Who is that?"
"It’s the pregnant woman you saved yesterday, Anton is the only child of a banking tycoon from F Country, he must have come to express his gratitude." Will explained.
Gan Yuan smiled, "Please, bring them in."
In a moment, Will had brought in several people, the man and woman in the lead were the pregnant woman whom Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue had saved from the assassin’s hands yesterday, along with her husband Anton.
As soon as they entered, Anton’s wife came over excitedly, grabbed Gan Yuan’s hand, and thanked her repeatedly.
"I really can’t thank you enough, thank you so much, Duke..."
"Yes!" Anton, supporting his wife’s shoulder, also looked full of gratitude, "If the two of you hadn’t acted, I really don’t know what I would have done. She has been pregnant for three months, if anything had happened to her and the baby, I... I just can’t even..."
Huangfu Jue didn’t speak, giving Gan Yuan the chance to take credit for the good deed.
"You’re both being too polite, it was nothing, hardly worth such fuss!" Gan Yuan said with a smile as she invited them to sit down. Anton’s wife nudged his arm, and Anton immediately signaled to the assistant who had followed them in. The assistant brought over a box and placed it in front of Gan Yuan. Anton said with a smile, "It’s just a modest gift, I hope the two of you will like it."
Gan Yuan glanced at the box on the table, "This..."
"Yes, it’s nothing expensive, just some pies that my wife made by hand." Anton looked tenderly at his wife and took her hand, "It was not easy for us to have this child, we’ve just come back from the hospital, the baby is fine, and we are so very grateful to both of you."
The couple had been married for several years and had only recently managed to conceive a child, only to encounter such an ordeal. Luckily, the baby was fine, and the first thing they did after returning from the hospital was to come and thank Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue.
Gan Yuan had been worried that the couple would present her with something expensive, but upon hearing it was just some pies and pastries, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Well then, I must taste the lady’s craftsmanship."
Compared to gifts bought with money, for people who lacked nothing, a pie made by hand was indeed far more precious.
After chatting for a few more moments, Anton, aware that both were busy people, made his farewell in a well-mannered way, and he earnestly invited them to his home again, to express his thanks properly.
"There is no need for thanks, we will definitely try the lady’s cooking if we get the chance. Also, when I run for election in the future, if it’s convenient, you must both vote for me." Gan Yuan said in a half-joking tone.
Though her words seemed light-hearted, they also implied that if the couple could speak highly of her, it would be the greatest gratitude she could receive.
Anton, a perceptive man, immediately responded with a smile, "Rest assured, I will tell everyone of your and the Duke’s good deeds. Our country needs capable leaders, and I believe Miss Gan is definitely the most suitable candidate."
Just being associated with these two was a privilege for Anton, not to mention the fact that they had done him a great favor. From any perspective, it was a mutually beneficial situation.
Huangfu Jue instructed his subordinate to see the guests out and then led Gan Yuan back to her room. He glanced at his watch, then turned to Will.
"Has the person not arrived yet?"
"Who?!" Gan Yuan asked curiously.
Following a knock at the door, Will smiled.
Huangfu Jue called out, and the door to the living room was gently pushed open. A person walked in and approached Gan Yuan with a smile.
