"Duke, please follow ."
Following the little boy out of the car was a tall and upright man. Although the traces of ti were visible on his eyebrows and eyes, they didn’t affect the man’s handsoness. Instead, those traces gave him a mature charm distinct from the youthful freshness.
The man’s features were prominent, and combined with those unique tea-colored pupils, at first glance, he seed like a mixed race. But upon closer inspection, his features were distinctly sharp yet not truly mixed.
As soon as he got out of the car, he imdiately drew public attention.
Many people looked in his direction, whispering to each other.
"It’s Duke Habsden."
"I didn’t expect him to be here in Lin City."
"I didn’t expect Duke Habsden to co as well."
"Who’s the little boy beside him? Isn’t it said that Duke Habsden isn’t married? Could he be an illegitimate child?"
"I haven’t heard about that."
The whispers around were so low that they were almost inaudible.
As soon as Quan Dongting got out of the car, he reached out his hand to hold Baby Chi beside him, gently saying, "Let’s go, let’s head inside, Jingchen."
"Mm." Baby Chi had sharp ears and heard so whispers, but he didn’t mind them at all. His handso little face remained cool, completely ignoring the attention of the surroundings, walking beside Quan Dongting with an aura not at all like a child.
He had no interest in such events and was simply accompanying Uncle.
Had it not been for Uncle’s fondness for bringing him to such events to introduce him to others, he couldn’t have been bothered to interact with those adults.
Chi Jingchen, filled with boredom, donned a small suit custom-made by a Panlda senior designer, took strides, his beautiful phoenix eyes staring straight ahead, as if the attention around couldn’t attract his notice at all.
Quan Dongting had a special identity.
As soon as he entered the venue, soone approached him for greetings.
Quan Dongting, famously known as a smiling tiger, appeared cordial and gentle to everyone, seeming like an easy-going and elegant gentleman as long as he wasn’t provoked. Whenever soone approached for a chat, Quan Dongting would first introduce Baby Chi beside him.
"Jingchen, this is Uncle Nick."
Despite his extre impatience, nothing showed on Chi Jingchen’s fair little face. Clever and polite, he imdiately greeted, "Hello, Uncle Nick."
"So cute," the middle-aged man he addressed smiled pleasantly, complinting him. Then he looked up and asked Quan Dongting, "Duke, this is...?"
"My grandnephew," Quan Dongting ntioned Baby Chi, and his tone automatically softened a lot, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes, "He’s been learning to speculate in stocks with recently, and I’ll need your guidance in the future."
"He’s learning to speculate in stocks at such a young age?" The man was particularly surprised, exclaiming, "OMG!"
Quan Dongting’s eyebrows and eyes were filled with pride. Looking at Baby Chi, who was only as tall as his waist, he smiled and said, "He’s just learning, but Jingchen has a great talent for this. I plan to nurture him a bit more, and let him develop in this direction in the future."
He used the word ’nurture’.
The middle-aged man’s gaze towards Chi Jingchen imdiately changed.
What Duke Habsden implied was that this young boy might beco the heir of the Habsden family in the future?
"That’s impressive. My own son, in his twenties, hasn’t even scratched the surface yet." The man laughed heartily, "Sure, bring him over to my place to play whenever there’s a chance. I don’t know much, but I can sowhat be a half-baked teacher."
That’s exactly what Quan Dongting wanted to hear, a glimr of calculation flashing in his eyes. He changed the topic.
