Huangfu Jue's gaze swept over Qian Xueying and the group around her as he gave a slight nod.
"If you need me, have someone call me upstairs."
Abel took a step back and spoke in a joking tone, "Take good care of Gan. If you make her unhappy, I won't let you off easily."
A noble young lady quietly spoke up, "Even if you don't let us off, that would be the Prince's concern, not yours, right?"
"What do you know," Abel retorted with a pout, "Gan is not only His Highness's girlfriend but also my friend. The two of us..."
"Let's go!"
Huangfu Jue didn't want to listen to him spouting nonsense any longer, said in a stern voice, and continued upstairs. Abel waved to Gan Yuan and hurried after him.
Gan Yuan moved down the steps, and upon reaching the crowd, Qian Xueying began introducing everyone to her.
The few young ladies, all of notable identities, also showed ample respect and courtesy to Gan Yuan.
