Gan Yuan just shook her head, "I still like it when you're more serious."
Abel immediately leaned in with a playful smile and whispered, "Then... if I'm more serious in the future, can I compete with Elroy (Huangfu Jue's English name)?"
In the passenger seat, Helen cleared her throat.
"Mr. Abel, you're overacting!"
"I'm not acting." Abel winked at Gan Yuan, "My feelings for Gan are genuine."
Gan Yuan slightly curled her lips, her gaze filled not with disdain but with gratitude.
"Abel, thank you!"
Helen might not understand, but she knew Abel was deliberately trying to cheer her up.
This man, albeit somewhat flirtatious and mischievous, was truly considerate to women.
"Alas!" Abel sighed when he saw the faint smile on her face, "It's a pity that the only woman who understands me was taken by that guy."
Gan Yuan gently shook her head, "Where is Ajue now?"
Abel's expression became serious, "He's on his way to the Northwest, and he's asked me to escort you back."
