Gu Nianzhi immediately turned to look at the kettle on the induction cooker.
However, Huo Shaoheng was faster than her. He had already made his way to her side in three steps and turned off the induction cooker. At the same time, he picked up the kettle.
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly and shrunk her neck.”… well, I wasn’t paying attention and forgot to boil the water.”
Lu Jin quickly said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Look, the kettle has an automatic alarm…”
Huo Shaoheng glanced at the father and daughter and asked gu nianzhi, “Where’s the Teacup?”
Gu Nianzhi quickly pointed at the Teacup that she had prepared earlier. “It’s over here.”
Huo Shaoheng held the kettle and skillfully brewed four cups of tea.
Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed and brought it out on a tray.
Lu Yuan frowned and asked Lu Jin, “What were you two doing just now? Why didn’t you turn off the heat when the water was boiling?”
Lu Jin chuckled and said, “I forgot about the kettle when I was talking to my lady.”
“How can you forget about that?”Lu Yuan shook his head. “Alright, you can come out now. From now on, you and your daughter can not stay in a place with a stove at the same time. It’s too dangerous.”
Lu Jin wanted to retort, but could not find the right words. He had no choice but to follow Lu Yuan out dejectedly.
Gu Nianzhi sat beside Huo Shaoheng. She picked up her cup and blew on it. She tried to find something to say. “Huo Shao, what were you talking about with director Lu just now?”
Huo Shaoheng glared at her. “I should be asking what you were talking about with your father. You were so engrossed that you didn’t even know the water was boiling?”
Gu Nianzhi was just about to snuggle up to him and act coquettishly when she saw Lu Yuan and Lu Jin walking over from the corner of her eye. She had no choice but to give up, she said snappily, “Tell my dad where they live. Huo Shao, I want to buy Gu Yanran’s house there.”
Huo Shaoheng was slightly startled.”… Isn’t it already in your name? Why do you still want to buy it?”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “That’s not my house, that’s Little Nianzhi’s. I Can’t take over her property.”
Although she had already handed over most of the Gu family’s property to the state, a portion was still in her hands.
Just this portion of property, trust funds, stocks, bonds, antiques, and savings was already an astronomical figure.
After the court’s verdict, the few houses under Gu Yanran’s name were “Returned to their original owners”and transferred to Gu Nianzhi’s name.
Now that Gu Nianzhi knew her background, she couldn’t sit still with the money anymore.
Huo Shaoheng understood her concerns. He didn’t care much about the money and muttered, “It should be. But how are you going to do it?”
Was he going to sell it to himself?
No matter what, the secret of the other world couldn’t be made public.
There could be another way to describe Gu Nianzhi’s background, but it definitely couldn’t be from the other world.
Gu Nianzhi thought for a while and said irritably, “How about this? I’ll donate it to a charity first, then give a sum of money to buy it from the charity.”
Huo Shaoheng smiled and shook his head. “You’re overthinking things. How about this? You give your father a sum of money and let him buy the house from you. Then you can donate the money to the charity fund you set up.”
“Okay! That works too!”Gu Nianzhi nodded happily. “That makes more sense.”
It made more sense than selling it to herself.
Lu Jin quickly said, “Why would I want Nianzhi’s money? I can borrow it from the bank…”
“Dad, don’t decline. Just take it as a loan from me. When you have the money, you can return it to me.”Gu Nianzhi smiled widely and made an OK gesture. “It’s decided!”
Lu Jin wanted to say something else, but Lu Yuan shook his head at him, he said kindly, “I still have some money. Shaoheng said that my mother left me a portion of her inheritance, and it’s in his hands now. He’ll transfer it to my name. I’ll pay for the House.”
Lu Jin rolled his eyes and said, “How about this? Let’s buy one each. I’ll borrow money from Nianzhi to buy her one. You can buy Gu Yanran’s one. I heard that these two sets happen to be upstairs and downstairs.”
“If it’s convenient, we can find a place to add a staircase between the two sets. This way, it’ll become a two-story Deluxe Suite!”
Gu Nianzhi coughed and winked at Lu Jin, she smiled and said, “That’s not good. Dad, it’s more convenient for you to have one set each with President Lu. Besides, it’s a direct elevator to the house. It’s also very convenient for you to visit each other from the first floor to the first floor.”
Lu Jin understood and laughed heartily. “Alright then, I’ll listen to my girl. We’ll each have a floor!”
Lu Yuan pretended not to see Gu Nianzhi winking at Lu Jin. He smiled and said, “That’s indeed convenient. I wonder if Nianzhi is free today to take us to see the House?”
Gu Nianzhi stood up. “No problem, let’s go see it now.”
She looked down at Huo Shaoheng, who was sitting on the sofa. “Huo Shao, is that house cleaned?”
It had been a year since they had been here. If no one cleaned it, who knew how much dust there would be.
Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly and nodded. “Everyone is cleaned.”
He raised his hand and called Yin Shixiong over, he said, “Big Xiong, take Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu to look at Nianzhi’s two third-ring apartments. Also, take them to get their ID cards, open a bank account, and buy some daily necessities as well as clothes and utensils.”
Lu Yuan and Lu Jin arrived empty-handed without anything.
However, they were not worried at all.
A problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.
Besides, Huo Shaoheng had already given a black card to Lu Yuan.
Spend it however you like.
Gu Nianzhi actually wanted to follow them, but Huo Shaoheng said, “Nianzhi, stay here. I have something to ask you.”
She stayed obediently.
Yin Shixiong smiled and called for Lu Yuan and Lu Jin. “Come with me, you two. I just called the Special Affairs Department of the police. There will be someone to help you with your ID cards and household registration today.”
This was no ordinary “Special Affairs Department.”General Ji, speaker long, and Prime Minister Bai had jointly instructed this “Special Affairs Department.”They had to ensure that Mr. Lu Jin had huaxia citizenship.
Lu Jin was still reluctant to part with Gu Nianzhi and wanted to invite her along. Lu Yuan understood what Huo Shaoheng meant and tugged at Lu Jin, he said, “Hurry up and tidy up your house. Give nianzhi a room and she’ll be able to live with you legally.”
Lu Jin came back to his senses and nodded vigorously. “Okay, okay! I’ll get it ready right away!”
The most important thing now was to make money.
Should he go to the stock market, Gamble, or buy a horse?
These were the few things that could make money the fastest.
With Lu Jin’s super computational ability, these were all easy to come by.
Lu Yuan shook his head without knowing whether to laugh or cry and said, “Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until you’ve tidied up the house, print out a copy of Your Magnetic Storm Gun Blueprint, apply for a patent first, and then sell it to the military. You can just sit at home and count the money.”
Lu Jin scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “AH? You still want to apply for a patent? I was going to give it to them as a welcome gift…”
“That won’t do.”Lu Yuan walked side by side with him, he said casually, “No one will cherish a gift that is given for free. Moreover, you gave it for free right from the start. It’s a bad start. Do you still expect to receive money for your future products?”
“… No Way?”Lu Jin blinked. “Aren’t you on good terms with them? Besides, Huo Shaoheng is their leader…”
“Never use benefits to test others, whether it’s a person or an organization,”Lu Yuan said meaningfully, “It’s better to do business with money. “Also, don’t let them think that good things come too easily. “Although I’m also one of them, I don’t want the entire military to lose their ability to innovate because of a cheat like you.”
In the end, the military had to have their own talent echelon plan in order to maintain their vigor and vitality.
A genius like Lu Jin, who could only be encountered by chance but not sought after, he would rather let him be a teacher and teach everyone the way to think.
It was better to teach a man to fish than to teach a man to fish.
Lu Jin was indeed not as smart as Lu Yuan in business. Originally, Lu Yuan was also the main decision maker in the business of the Lu Corporation.
Lu Jin was the major shareholder, but he only cared about the quality of the products. He did not do business management, nor did he care about sales.
“Then I will listen to you,”Lu Jin said without hesitation, “When the house is tidied up, I will print out the blueprint of the magnetic storm gun. But for the first blueprint, I will not give them the best configuration, but the basic configuration.”
“That’s more like it.”Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. “We can only take things one step at a time so that we won’t push things too far.”
..
After sending Lu Yuan, Lu Jin, and Yin Shixiong out, Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng to the second floor uneasily.
Pushing open the door to Huo Shaoheng’s suite, Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and kept guessing what Huo Shaoheng was going to ask her.
Huo Shaoheng closed the door. Seeing her like this, he immediately understood that she must have said something to Lu Jin in the study’s pantry. That was why she looked so guilty.
Actually, Gu Nianzhi’s expression was already very calm. Those who did not know her well would not be able to tell.
However, Huo Shaoheng had brought her up and knew her emotions like the back of his hand.
“What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t tell me?”Huo Shaoheng lifted Gu Nianzhi’s chin and gave her a thumbs-up.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes like a kitten. She stuck out the tip of her delicate tongue and licked Huo Shaoheng’s thumb.
In that instant, an electric current flowed through his fingers. Huo Shaoheng let go of her reflexively.
However, he quickly tightened his grip on Gu Nianzhi’s chin and lifted it up again.
He lowered his head and was very close to her. As he breathed and breathed, his unique aura pounced on Gu Nianzhi’s face intermittently.
Gu Nianzhi liked Huo Shaoheng’s smell very much. There was a hint of black pine’s refreshing coolness in his piercingly masculine scent, just like his person, steady as a mountain and firm as a pine tree.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened slightly as she snuggled into Huo Shaoheng’s embrace. He wrapped her tightly, making her feel safe.
Everyone had a different origin of love. Gu Nianzhi knew that the beginning of her love had come from this extreme sense of security.
She had no idea why she had been so infatuated with Huo Shaoheng before. She had never experienced any hardships, so why was she still so desperate for security?
Later, she found out that this deep-rooted desire for security came from the inhuman experiences of her childhood..
Although her memories of those years were gone, this desire for security was indelible.
She could even imagine that when she had been hiding under the table in the dark, what she had yearned for the most was someone to reach out to her and lift her out of the darkness?
When her father had sent her to this world and tied her up in the burning car, it was Huo Shaoheng who had reached out to her and rescued her.
In the days that followed, it was he who had given her all-round protection and gave her an absolute sense of security.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help sticking closer to Huo Shaoheng when she thought of this.
Her soft body lines perfectly matched Huo Shaoheng’s rigid body.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her and held her firmly. This feeling was completely different from when he was there.
Only here did he feel that Gu Nianzhi belonged to him completely.
She was a treasure that he had lost and regained.
“… Nianzhi, give it to me…”he said slowly, but his movements were not slow at all. He quickly carried her into the bedroom.
..
From day to night.
From night to sunrise.
The two hearts of love overlapped without any distance, tirelessly experiencing each other’s love.
He was unprecedentedly gentle, but she was unprecedentedly eager.
Apart from going to the bathroom to wash up, the two of them ate in bed.
The next morning, Huo Shaoheng opened his eyes when the first rays of sunlight shone through the curtains and onto the bedroom floor.
He was momentarily stunned, as though he did not know what day it was.
He moved his hand and subconsciously grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s hand.
He turned around and saw that she was still sleeping soundly beside his pillow. He instantly woke up and his anxious heart was completely at ease.
She and he had finally returned home.
He squeezed his hand a little harder, and Gu Nianzhi frowned in her sleep and snorted.
Huo Shaoheng watched with interest, so he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
He kissed her very quickly, and their lips parted as soon as they touched. It was even more gentle than a dragonfly touching water.
Gu Nianzhi, of course, did not feel anything. She did not even snort.
Her long black hair hung loosely in the pillow. Huo shaoheng smoothed her hair behind her ears, revealing her petite face. Her cheeks were still flushed.
Huo Shaoheng’s gaze moved from her bright red lips to her high nose bridge. His large eyes were closed, and he could only see two rows of long black eyelashes that looked like Crow’s wings.
He still remembered how he had bullied her last night, and the crystal tears that rolled down her long eyelashes.
He took another look at her slightly sunken eye sockets, and her two eyebrows seemed to be a little messy.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyebrows were very beautiful. They were very distant and elegant, but had not been trimmed for a while. Although the natural shape of her eyebrows did not change, some of them seemed to be out of bounds.
Huo Shaoheng used his finger to smooth her hair.
Gu Nianzhi felt extremely comfortable and nodded in her sleep.
She raised her hand to rub her eyebrows, and in the blink of an eye, her two eyebrows were messed up again.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her with amusement. When she fell asleep again, Huo Shaoheng stretched, took out his phone from under the pillow, and swiped it.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly moved and moved closer. She didn’t open her eyes and mumbled a few words. She hugged Huo Shaoheng’s arm and put it under her neck.
Huo Shaoheng had originally planned to get up, but now he couldn’t.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry. General Ji had given him a month off, so he had enough time to accompany Gu Nianzhi and wait for her to wake up naturally.
