407: Chapter 408 The Position You Need to Look Up To 407: Chapter 408 The Position You Need to Look Up To Huangfu Jue’s gaze swept over Qian Xueying and the group around her as he gave a slight nod.
“If you need , have soone call 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.
Seeing Annie approach, Qian Xueying imdiately raised her voice and took the initiative to greet her.
“Miss Annie!”
Accompanied by two companions, Annie walked over.
Upon seeing Gan Yuan, she intended to leave, but with Qian Xueying’s greeting, she had to grit her teeth and approach.
Qian Xueying moved to her side and affectionately hooked her arm, pulling Annie in front of Gan Yuan.
“Gan Yuan, let introduce…”
“No need,” Gan Yuan said with a smile, “Miss Smith and I already know each other very well.”
Annie struggled to suppress the resentnt in her heart and lifted the corners of her lips, “Yes, when I t Miss Gan, she was still a coach at the gym!”
She deliberately stressed the words “gym coach,” ostensibly making conversation with Gan Yuan.
In reality, she was reminding everyone of Gan Yuan’s background—that she was neither from a prestigious family nor a rising star, just an ordinary gym coach who had the dumb luck to capture Huangfu Jue’s attention.
“Indeed!” Gan Yuan’s smile remained, “Life is always full of surprises.
Miss Annie is still the sa as before, yet here I stand in a position where you have to look up to .
You agree, don’t you?”
She was still standing on the steps, higher than Annie, making Annie look up to see her.
However you listened, it sounded like a playful remark.
But Annie could hear that, in between the lines, Gan Yuan was hinting that her status was now higher than Annie’s.
Annie’s original plan was to embarrass Gan Yuan, but her adversary didn’t take offense and instead hit back.
And at that mont, Annie was representing F Country’s delegation, soon to interact with Huangfu Jue to secure his cooperation with F Country’s projects.
Offending Gan Yuan at this juncture was clearly not a smart move, so she had to swallow her anger and spoke with a smile.
“Miss Gan is quite humorous.”
At that mont, one of the girls suggested,
“Why don’t…
we go upstairs as well?
I’ve heard the Queen is very fond of collecting archery equipnt, and I can’t wait to see it for myself!”
“Sure!”
Gan Yuan didn’t refuse.
Compared to a battle of wits with people like Annie, she much preferred to look at the archery collection upstairs—in her opinion, those bows and arrows were far more likable than Annie’s face.
Gan Yuan headed upstairs, with Annie and the others, including Qian Xueying and several girls, following behind.
Once everyone reached the corner of the third-floor corridor, Gan Yuan turned left.
Annie deliberately lingered behind, aiming to turn right.
“The Archery Room is this way!”
Qian Xueying reached out to grab her arm and pointed diagonally ahead, where there was a sign indicating that the direction to the Archery Room was to the left.
