Let’s first not talk about whether or not marrying Helian Niancheng would become a reality.
If she really ended up marrying him, wouldn’t she become a princess consort?
If that happened in the future, how would she tell her mother that she was about to become a princess consort?
Her mother would probably faint from shock…
Helian Niancheng was pleased to see Gu Qingjiu’s reaction.
Just then, the chef had just finished preparing the steak. With one arm wrapped in a cast, Gu Qingjiu could not cut her steak, so she urged Helian Niancheng in a justified tone, “Chief Instructor, quick, help me cut this.”
Helian Niancheng cast a glance at her and helped Gu Qingjiu cut her steak as she asked.
Gu Qingjiu opened her mouth after it was done and waited for him to bring it to her mouth. That he did, but before that, he first kissed Gu Qingjiu on her lips before feeding her the meat.
As Gu Qingjiu sank her teeth into the succulent steak, she glared at Helian Niancheng.
Gosh, seriously. The chef was still around.
After she and Helian Niancheng finished eating, they left.
In the days that followed until when she left for the UK, Gu Qingjiu hung out with Helian Niancheng.
But they didn’t really do much.
After all, Gu Qingjiu was still injured. Other than some kissing and touching, he couldn’t really go overboard with things.
But whenever he helped Gu Qingjiu change her wound dressing, his countenance would be so dark it looked like someone owed him eight million yuan or something.
Gu Qingjiu felt that his gaze would probably kill the people in the department.
Very soon, the 17th arrived, and it was time for Gu Qingjiu to depart. Finally, she would leave Helian Niancheng for some time.
Before she set off, Lu Yimei called her. She had initially planned on arriving just in time. Still, when she heard from Commander Lu Yimei that Commanding Officer Nian and the rest had just set off, Gu Qingjiu was so startled that she had left her hotel way ahead of time.
Other than Commanding Officer Nian, there was also the guard regiment in charge of protecting them.
There were quite a lot of officials going to the international competition. As a participant, Yin Ruoyi had already set off.
Because of his eyesight issues, Elder Gong never went to view such competitions.
When Gu Qingjiu arrived at the airport, she bumped into Nian Chusheng and the group he came with.
With several officials in formal wear next to him, Commanding Officer Nian appeared particularly eye-catching in his military uniform.
The plane they took was one specially used by the military, and they would take a unique flight route to their destination.
When Nian Chusheng saw Gu Qingjiu’s injured arm, he was a tad shocked. “How did you get injured, Gu Qingjiu?”
Although Nian Chusheng was a commanding officer, he had heard nothing about Gu Qingjiu’s injury. Even the Shooting Department heard nothing about it.
Gu Qingjiu said with a dry laugh, “Hello, Commanding Officer Nian, this was an accident. Nothing serious. I suffered a fall and injured my arm. I should be fine in a few days.”
“Aiyoh, as a member of the Shooting Department, your arms are your most precious assets. You’ve got to protect them well!”
Nian Chusheng knew how important Gu Qingjiu was.
Naturally, he felt distraught.
Those officials felt curious as they looked at Gu Qingjiu. “This is that newly emerged sharpshooter young lady, right? Aiyoh, what a good-looking lass.”
The officials spoke more casually, unlike the military.
They were full of smiles.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t know any of them. Nian Chusheng shot her a look, and she obediently went over to stand next to him. Occasionally, when someone would ask her a question, she would reply a sentence or two with a faint smile.
Other than Nian Chusheng’s group, several groups of officials were heading there as well. They came relatively early.
