Reinitz's expression was still calm and gentle.
His blue eyes were clear and indifferent.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi and drew a cross on his chest. He said gently, "May God bless you with your wishes."
Gu Nianzhi smiled brightly. "I hope so."
Huo Shaoheng raised his wine glass calmly. "To Mr. Gu."
Actually, he should have called him "father-in-law." Huo Shaoheng thought to himself …
Reinitz also raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with him with a smile. "To Mr. Gu."
Gu Nianzhi also raised her juice glass and clinked glasses with him. Her eyes sparkled. "To my father and grandfather."
She was proud of her father and grandfather!
Reinitz put down his wine glass and said to Gu Nianzhi with concern, "Cereus, if there's any news about your father in two weeks, please let me know. I won't tell anyone. I have a lot of questions that I want to ask your father."
Gu Nianzhi looked at Reinitz and nodded sincerely at him. "If my father was still alive, I would definitely tell him your wish. But … "
She couldn't bear to continue the rest of her sentence.
If her father was indeed no longer in this world, then there was nothing she could do about it.
"I understand. If your father really is no longer in this world, I will ask the archbishop to hold a memorial mass for him. "Reinitz's expression was very serious.
Gu Nianzhi's heart was also in turmoil, but she suppressed her uneasiness and smiled. "Thank you very much. No matter what, I will let you know when I take over the Gu family business in two weeks. "
Reinitz looked at Huo Shaoheng. "Mr. Huo, you don't mind, right?"
Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, "Of course I don't mind a normal friendship."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
After lunch, Reinitz took the initiative to pay the bill and leave. He didn't linger too much.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng's calm expression and couldn't help laughing. "Huo Shao, I didn't know until today that you can also … be jealous …"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and patted her head. "Are you stupid? I'm your man, and I don't even have a reaction when I see another man coveting you. You should be wondering if I'm sincere about you. "
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect Huo Shao to understand women so well."
Huo Shaoheng smiled but said nothing.
Of course, he understood. This was one of the compulsory courses for members of the Special Operations Forces …
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't need to know this.
Huo Shaoheng stood up. "Where do you want to go today?"
Gu Nianzhi took his hand and walked out with him. She said, "I remember the Internet saying that the Alexandria Gardens in Moscow are quite beautiful. Do you want to go and take a look? It doesn't seem too far from here. Let's walk there and treat it as a way to digest the food. "
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat. He nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them left the restaurant together and walked on the tree-lined path by the street.
Moscow in early summer was the best season of the year.
The weather was neither hot nor cold, and the air was fresh.
Moscow was the greenest city in the world. There were a total of 11 natural forests, 98 parks, and more than 700 street gardens in the city center.
Alexander Garden was one of the largest gardens in the middle of the street.
The garden was rectangular, divided into upper, middle, and lower sections, not far from the Kremlin.
Walking into the garden, Gu Nianzhi was immediately attracted by the complex and colorful flowers in the flowerbed.
The bright blue irises stretched out like butterfly wings, the delicate roses exuded a fragrance, and the colorful carnations bloomed at the edge of the flowerbed, adding a moving color to the flowerbed.
There were also white lilies, purple violets, and pink and white peonies clustered together, blooming vigorously.
There were no particularly rare flowers here, but one could see the true beauty in the ordinary.
The most beautiful things were always the most common around us.
Gu Nianzhi walked with Huo Shaoheng and exclaimed all the way. She felt that she didn't have enough eyes to take in everything. She didn't know where Huo Shaoheng was taking her.
Until Huo Shaoheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Gu Nianzhi withdrew her gaze from the colorful flowers on both sides and saw that there were almost no people around. It was rare for it to be so quiet.
Directly across from her was a low, dark red building. It was square and looked like a huge box.
Huo Shaoheng said in a low voice, "This is the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Russia. An unknown warrior who died on the outskirts of Moscow when World War II was about to be won is buried here. "
Gu Nianzhi quickly let go of Huo Shaoheng's hand and her expression became serious.
On the west side of the tomb of the unknown warrior was a tattered helmet with a military flag pressed under it.
There were no sensational descriptions. Just a helmet and a military flag. The design was simple and meaningful. It had already expressed all the beliefs of a soldier.
The ground in front of the tomb was sunken and carved with a large five-pointed star. Flames shot out from the center of the five-pointed star.
It was said that the flames here had never been extinguished since the tomb of the unknown warrior was built.
Gu Nianzhi saw a few Russian words engraved in front of the five-pointed star, so she asked, "What's written on the tombstone?"
Huo Shaoheng read it in Russian and then said in Chinese, "No one knows your name, but your achievements will live on forever."
Gu Nianzhi let out a low exclamation. "So this is where this sentence came from?"
She knew this sentence because the special operations forces had engraved this sentence in their own internal museum of history.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood why Huo Shaoheng had brought her here.
She gently held his hand and whispered, "Your name will not be unknown. I will always remember you and all of you."
Huo Shaoheng took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi and suddenly knelt down on one knee. He took out the ring he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket and said in a calm and steady voice, "… Nianzhi, will you marry me?"
You know what I've done and how hard I've worked.
I also understand your sincerity and your feelings.
In this world, only you can stand with me through wind, frost, rain, and snow, and never forget your original heart.
In front of the tomb of the unknown warrior, Huo Shaoheng made the most solemn promise of his life.
If it had been any other woman, she would have been so angry that she would have immediately broken up and left after being proposed to in front of the tomb.
But he knew that Gu Nianzhi understood him.
Gu Nianzhi did understand him.
Her tears immediately flowed out.
Because she knew that in Huo Shaoheng's heart, his country, his army, and his career were more important than anything else.
But he had made his promise in front of the tomb of the unknown warrior, which meant that in his heart, she was as important as his career and his country!
She had never expected herself to have such an important place in Huo Shaoheng's heart.
Huo Shaoheng had given her far more than she had expected.
Gu Nianzhi choked with tears and nodded with a smile. "I do, of course I do!"
