Huo Shaoheng's expression didn't change much, but as his orderly for many years, Fan Jian could sense that Huo Shaoheng wasn't in a good mood.
He stole a glance at Huo Shaoheng through the rearview mirror.
It was common for people in their line of work to not sleep for a few days, but the human body was not made of iron.
He could tell that Huo Shaoheng was still exhausted.
Huo Shaoheng propped his head up with his hand and rested his elbow on the edge of the car window. Fan Jian could only see the side of his face. His jawline was very strong and clean, but now it was a little tight. There was a murderous aura about him, and he exuded a strong aura of "stay away from strangers".
Fan Jian shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything. He just drove fast and arrived at Gu Nianzhi's apartment complex in 15 minutes. Usually, it would take half an hour to get there.
The car was parked in the parking lot, but Huo Shaoheng was in no hurry to get in.
He sat in the car and pondered silently. Finally, he called Gu Nianzhi.
"Nianzhi, are you done showering?" Huo Shaoheng asked nonchalantly. It was impossible to tell what he was feeling from his voice alone.
Gu Nianzhi had just finished showering and was wrapping her hair up as she sat in front of the vanity to apply a facial mask.
She responded and said faintly, "Were you in a meeting just now?"
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his seat.
After a moment of silence, he said, "I have a temporary mission. The engagement party will be postponed for a month."
Gu Nianzhi's hand paused, but she quickly pretended to be relaxed and said, "Really? You must be careful. Also, since everyone is so busy, just cancel the engagement party. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't really care about the engagement party.
He had already proposed, so the most important thing now was to have a wedding.
As for the engagement banquet, it was just to satisfy Old Master Xie's request. It was just a treat.
Since it was a treat, of course, the host was the most important.
Huo Shaoheng really didn't see himself and Gu Nianzhi as the main characters of this banquet.
But when Gu Nianzhi said that, Huo Shaoheng could hear a hint of resentment.
It looked like He Zhichu was right. Gu Nianzhi was still unhappy?
So this engagement banquet was very important to her?
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything for a while. He opened the car window and lit a cigarette.
He hadn't slept for a few days, so he relied on cigarettes to keep himself awake.
In the parking lot late at night, the cigarette between his fingers flickered, just like Huo Shaoheng's deeply hidden thoughts.
Gu Nianzhi waited for a while and saw that Huo Shaoheng wasn't talking. She thought he was busy again, so she hung up.
Huo Shaoheng heard a beeping sound from his Bluetooth headset and knew that Gu Nianzhi had hung up.
He didn't say anything and continued to smoke. After a while, he threw away the unfinished cigarette in his hand and got out of the car.
He took the elevator from the parking lot to Gu Nianzhi's floor and rang the doorbell.
It was Xiao Ye who opened the door.
She saw Huo Shaoheng standing at the door through the peephole and was very surprised. She quickly opened the door. "Huo Shao, why are you still here? Aren't we going out to sea? "
Huo Shaoheng had told Xiao Ye that he was going out to sea.
He was most worried about Gu Nianzhi's safety when he left this time.
He didn't want Gu Nianzhi to be in danger as soon as he left like last time.
Therefore, he arranged for a new group of people to protect Gu Nianzhi. At the same time, he told Xiao Ye, who was by Gu Nianzhi's side, to be more careful. He didn't want Gu Nianzhi to act alone.
Huo Shaoheng had a feeling that only by towing the submarine back and confirming Gu Xiangwen's life or death would those people targeting Gu Nianzhi stop.
He had always thought that those people were interested in Gu Nianzhi because of Gu Xiangwen, who was behind her.
As long as Gu Xiangwen appeared, regardless of whether he was dead or alive, the other party probably wouldn't continue to pester him.
However, Huo Shaoheng didn't want Gu Nianzhi to know that he was going out to sea.
Therefore, he gave Xiao Ye a look and didn't answer her question. "Where's Nianzhi?"
Xiao Ye understood and immediately pouted in the direction of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom. "She's in the bedroom. There's nothing going on tonight. It's just that Professor He called her in the evening that made her a little depressed. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded and walked towards Gu Nianzhi's bedroom.
He knocked on the door.
Gu Nianzhi's sweet and soft voice came from inside the door. "Is that Xiao Ye? The door isn't locked. Come in. "
Xiao Ye smiled at Huo Shaoheng's back and turned to return to her room.
Huo Shaoheng placed his hand on the doorknob of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom and gently pushed it down. The doorknob made a clicking sound. He pushed open the door of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom and quietly walked in. Then, he closed the door behind him.
Gu Nianzhi saw it was Huo Shaoheng in the three-sided mirror on the dressing table. She turned around in surprise. "Major General Huo?! Why are you here?! Were you downstairs just now?! "
The two of them hadn't spoken much before hanging up the phone. It hadn't even been five minutes, right?
Huo Shaoheng took off his military cap and walked over.
He placed his military cap on Gu Nianzhi's dressing table and bent down. He wanted to kiss her face, but when he saw the facial mask on her face, he only hugged her shoulder.
Gu Nianzhi had just taken a shower, and there was a faint scent of roses on her body.
Huo Shaoheng sat down on the soft stool next to her and leaned his back against the dressing table. He lowered his eyes and said, "Time is tight this time. The engagement party was Granduncle's good intentions. It's not good to cancel it. "
Gu Nianzhi could tell that he was here to explain to her.
She smiled and looked at the mirror on the dressing table. "Actually, I didn't have to hold this engagement party. But if you wanted to postpone it, you had to at least tell me first. I heard from someone else that you wanted to postpone it. Did you think about how I felt? "
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and thought that Gu Nianzhi really valued this engagement party …
He said slowly, "It's just a meal for everyone. I didn't tell you in advance. I was negligent."
Gu Nianzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out that in Huo Shaoheng's heart, this engagement party was just like a banquet that old master Xie wanted to treat everyone to. He really didn't have the self-awareness that he was one of the main characters.
It was just a meal for everyone. He couldn't go at the last minute, so of course he had to inform the host to postpone it.
Because he subconsciously didn't think of himself as the main character, he naturally didn't think of Gu Nianzhi as one of the main characters. Therefore, he only told the Xie family that he wanted to postpone the news.
Gu Nianzhi naturally had someone inform her.
Therefore, it was normal for the Xie family's assistant to call He Zhichu.
Normally, if there was a change in the time of a meal, wouldn't it be a last-minute notice?
Huo Shaoheng was very disgusted by He Zhichu's constant criticism of him.
Understanding what Huo Shaoheng meant, Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and teased, "Major General Huo, are you explaining and apologizing to me? Tsk tsk, it's really not easy. Major General Huo, who is used to giving orders and not going back on his word, has a day when he has to humble himself and explain to someone. I'm really flattered. "
Huo Shaoheng turned to look at the mirror on the dressing table and met Gu Nianzhi's angry gaze in the mirror. His heart skipped a beat and he thought, So Nianzhi is so beautiful when she's angry …
Then he realized that he really loved this girl. Even when she was angry, she looked so lively.
He smiled and turned to pick up the hairdryer. He stood up to dry Gu Nianzhi's hair and said, "This time, it's actually just a meal for everyone. The so-called engagement party is just an excuse. Don't be angry. When we hold the wedding, we'll listen to you. You can do whatever you want. "
Foreign weddings were all organized by the bride.
Of course, the bride was also paying for the wedding, so the bride had the absolute right to decide.
The groom just had to be careful not to run away before the wedding.
Huo Shaoheng had been on missions abroad all year round, so he had a very thorough understanding of foreign customs.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and said, "You're spouting nonsense again. Can I make the decision about the wedding?"
Because President Pushin of Russia had said that he would be their witness, the Huaxia Empire was already making preparations to make the wedding a diplomatic feast!
Huo Shaoheng felt even more guilty.
He hadn't thought about it at all.
Recently, all his thoughts had been occupied by the small mini-submarine at the bottom of the Cape of Good Hope.
He leaned over and hugged Gu Nianzhi. He wanted to tell her about the small mini-submarine.
However, he was worried that Gu Xiangwen wasn't alive inside.
He couldn't give her false hope first and then shatter it with his own hands.
That would be worse than having no hope.
Pursing his lips, Huo Shaoheng pushed the matter aside and changed the topic. "I'll explain the wedding to General Ji and Speaker Long. You're the leader, and they're just supporting you. They can't take over the role."
When Huo Shaoheng said that, Gu Nianzhi was worried about him again. She turned to look at him and whispered, "Will you offend them by talking to them like that?"
"It's fine." Huo Shaoheng thought to himself, as long as I don't offend you, it doesn't matter if General Ji and Speaker Long offend me a hundred times.
