He Zhichu lowered his eyes and said, “I hope it’s as you wish.”
Xie Qingying was even more excited. All the blood in her body seemed to rush to her brain, and her face flushed. Even the freshest rouge wouldn’t have such a beautiful color.
She looked up and saw her face in the mirror on the opposite wall. Although she wasn’t wearing any makeup, she was more beautiful than ever.
No wonder it was said that women in love were the most beautiful, because love was a woman’s most beautiful makeup.
..
Gu Nianzhi had made an appointment with Luo Piaopiao at eleven o’clock. It was already past ten o’clock after she washed up.
She didn’t have time to eat breakfast. She grabbed a bottle of milk, drank a few mouthfuls, and ate two small muffins before she grabbed her orange Hermès Kelly bag and left the house.
When she walked out of the elevator, she saw a Soviet GAZ-3937 medium-sized jeep parked under the steps in front of the door.
It was still covered in snow outside. The snow on the sidewalk had been swept clean and piled up into piles of snow on the roadside.
The snow on the sidewalk had also been swept clean, but it wasn’t as clean as the sidewalk.
The tracks on the wheels had crushed some of the snow that hadn’t been swept clean, and it looked as if it had been frozen solid.
Huo Shaoheng’s car, which was especially suitable for driving in the snow in the wilderness, would definitely be very safe to drive in now.
Moreover, the car model was tall and mighty. With a change of color, it could pass for an armored car…
Gu Nianzhi complained in her heart and deliberately walked down the steps with a straight face.
Huo Shaoheng sat in the car with his head propped up. Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had come out, he got out of the car and opened the door. He smiled. “You’re quite punctual.”
“Punctuality is the most important virtue.” Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks in a reserved manner. “Thank you, Mr. Peter. Actually, you don’t have to take my father’s words to heart.”
“How can I do that? I’m pursuing his daughter. How can I not take his words to heart?” Huo Shaoheng said seriously, “We Russians are always very direct. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
This must be the most vicious attack on the “Russians” and “direct” people, right?
She stopped smiling and got into the car with a calm expression. She said politely, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. Let’s go to the revolving restaurant on the Sanhuan road.”
She was really treating Huo Shaoheng like a chauffeur.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and closed the car door for her. He went around to the other side of the car, got into the driver’s seat, and started the car.
The car drove off smoothly.
Gu Nianzhi sat calmly in the car, but her mood was like a pot of boiling water, constantly bubbling.
This was the first time they were alone together, right?
In the car, there were only the two of them, no outsiders.
Her hands were clenched into fists, and they were trembling slightly.
She wanted to say something, but was afraid that she would be exposed the moment she opened her mouth, so she could only keep quiet.
However, in Huo Shaoheng’s eyes, Gu Nianzhi’s stubborn appearance was really cute.
He glanced at her a few times and finally spoke first, “… Why are you specially treating Luo Piaopiao to a meal? Are you and she very close?”
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head to look at the snowy scenery outside the car window and said in a perfunctory tone, “We’re okay. She asked me to eat with her, but I can’t just say no, right? We’re relatives.”
“So it’s a favor.” Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, “Actually, you don’t have to force yourself to interact with people you don’t like. So what if you’re relatives? When you’re with me in the future, you have the confidence to ignore these unimportant people.”
Gu Nianzhi snorted and turned to look at him, then said, “Only by being with you can I have the confidence to ignore them? How arrogant of you. Even if I’m alone, I can ignore whoever I want. I’ve never thought of giving in to those people who have evil intentions towards me.”
“I have the ability to say such things.” Huo Shaoheng turned the steering wheel and sped past a few cars. He smiled and said, “For example, right now, I’m going with you to support you.”
“I can take care of that little girl, Luo Piaopiao, with one finger.” Gu Nianzhi snorted and muttered, “I don’t understand why my dad insisted on you coming along…”
“The older the wiser.” Huo Shaoheng’s voice suddenly became steady. “Uncle Lu must know more about the Qin family than anyone else.”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Wondering what he meant by that, she turned her eyes quickly to glance at Huo Shaoheng.
Could it be that this trip to invite Luo Piaopiao to dinner had anything to do with the Qin family?
Luo Piaopiao was the child of the daughter of the Qin family. The Qin family was her external family, so there was a layer of separation between them.
Moreover, even if there was a connection, Gu Nianzhi wasn’t worried about her safety in public at all.
However, her father was worried about her safety, so he found a helper for her. Gu Nianzhi felt very comforted by this.
This kind of feeling was completely different from her feelings for Huo Shaoheng.
Her expression gradually relaxed as she smiled and said, “That’s true. The Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital is really big. I don’t know how they became the largest private hospital group.”
“Yes, the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital is very famous.” Huo Shaoheng suddenly said, “I also saw some information about the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital in the KGB’s archives.”
“Huh? Why would the KGB pay attention to private hospital in the Huaxia Empire?” Gu Nianzhi was very surprised. “Did thee KGB also find something wrong with the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital?”
Huo Shaoheng thought for a moment and said, “We didn’t find anything wrong. We have information on them purely because…”
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth. “Because we have a file on the major economic forces of every country. Actually, we’re not the only ones doing this. Your country, the United States, and Europe are doing this too.”
Gu Nianzhi immediately understood. “Corporate spies, right?”
“Or rather, national corporate spies.”
“Whatever you say.” Huo Shaoheng glanced at her with a smile. He really wanted to touch her head, but he held himself back. If he got excited, it would be troublesome.
His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he suppressed his desire and excitement. His expression became even more restrained and calm.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and gave him a sidelong glance. “Mr. Peter, are you leaking secrets?”
“… it doesn’t count. Because what I’m telling you is only permitted by the regulations.”Huo Shaoheng sighed at how well he had taught Gu Nianzhi. She could even use the word “leak” to gag him.
Gu Nianzhi snorted. “Aren’t you afraid that I’m a spy too?”
Her eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were moving. She was alluring and had the charm of a mature woman. She was charming and tactful.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and stepped on the brakes. He parked the jeep on an empty side of the road and leaned in front of her. He said hoarsely,”… You’re a spy? You can seduce me…”
Gu Nianzhi: “! ! !”
She put a finger on Huo Shaoheng’s chest and pushed him away slowly. She said with a faint smile, “Mr. Peter, are you trying to seduce me?”
