Son?
Why was he talking about a son?
Gu Nianzhi's heart pounded.
Huo Shaoheng felt the soft body under his hand suddenly stiffen. He curled his lips and said casually, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you agree."
Gu Nianzhi blurted out, "No!"
"No?" Huo Shaoheng raised an eyebrow and stopped massaging Gu Nianzhi. "Why not? Isn't the training in the military camp good? "
Gu Nianzhi turned over and lay on the apricot pillow. Her cheeks were flushed, and she was even more beautiful than the flowers of the phoenix wood.
Her plump, red lips opened and closed. "… But you can train him yourself …"
Gu Nianzhi thought that since he was her biological son, Huo Shaoheng would probably show mercy, right?
Her heart ached at the thought of her son being trained in the military camp.
Huo Shaoheng leaned down and kissed her on the lips. He smiled and said, "Everyone has their specialties. I'm not good at training recruits."
Gu Nianzhi scoffed and turned around to ignore him.
He made it sound like her son had already grown up and joined the army!
Actually, there wasn't even a shadow of him …
Gu Nianzhi had just had her period a few days ago. In the past 20 days, she had only kissed Huo Shaoheng at most. There had been nothing at all. How could she have a son?
Moreover, she wasn't even 20 years old yet. How could she have a son?
Wasn't it too early?
Gu Nianzhi rationally decided not to argue with Huo Shaoheng so early.
She turned over and pulled Huo Shaoheng down. Just as she was about to kiss him properly, she heard a bark. Little Corgi jumped onto the bed with a whoosh and squatted beside her, staring at them covetously.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched.
This little dog was indeed a bit of an eyesore.
Huo Shaoheng patted Gu Nianzhi's head and held back his laughter. "Rest well. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Huo Shaoheng got up and walked out.
Gu Nianzhi lay on the bed and said weakly to Little Corgi, "Ah Ke, you don't have to guard against Major General Huo like he's a thief. He's … he's my husband. Husband, do you understand?"
Huo Shaoheng, who had just walked to the door, stopped.
He heard Gu Nianzhi's voice and was completely shocked by the word "husband".
This was the first time he had heard her say these two words since he had forced her to sign the marriage contract.
He originally thought that this thorn would forever be stuck in her heart. No matter how hard he tried, she would never forget the pain at that time.
She didn't know how much strength she used to grip the door handle, but the veins on the back of her hand were bulging.
He raised his head and looked at the white ceiling above him. He took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his chest.
No matter how many people said in front of him that Gu Nianzhi was lucky to be able to be with him, only he knew that being able to be with Gu Nianzhi and being loved by her was the greatest blessing of his life. It was also the best luck.
Huo Shaoheng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but he still pushed the door open and left.
…
In the next few days, Gu Nianzhi finally achieved a temporary balance with Little Corgi.
She ran with Little Corgi every day as usual and followed the military schedule. However, Little Corgi no longer interfered with her intimacy with Huo Shaoheng.
This meant that although Huo Shaoheng still couldn't stay in Gu Nianzhi's room, Gu Nianzhi could spend the night in Huo Shaoheng's room.
As long as she gave Little Corgi a few more bones at night to "bribe" it, Little Corgi would obediently lie in its kennel and sleep.
That night, after Little Corgi slept in the kennel, Gu Nianzhi went to Huo Shaoheng's suite.
Huo Shaoheng was replying to an email in the study.
Gu Nianzhi knocked on the door of his study and said with a smile, "I'm here."
Huo Shaoheng looked away from the computer screen and smiled. "I'll be done right away."
Gu Nianzhi gestured to him and turned to Huo Shaoheng's bedroom.
She had been staying here at night for the past few days, so her things had been moved over bit by bit.
The bathroom was filled with her usual facial soap, cream, essence, and facial masks. Her bath towel was on the shelf, and a pair of pink slippers and blue slippers were placed side by side in front of the bathtub.
There were a few sets of casual clothes that she wore at home in the closet. She had also brought over some underwear, shoes, and socks and placed them in Huo Shaoheng's closet.
Most of Huo Shaoheng's clothes were military uniforms. There were training uniforms, regular uniforms, and formal wear. They were neatly arranged according to their categories.
Gu Nianzhi's colorful clothes were placed in the room. They were messy, but compared to his military uniform, there was a strange sense of harmony.
It was like a rose pinned to an AK47, and the shocking sense of violence and aesthetics assaulted her senses.
Gu Nianzhi placed her glass of water on the desk in front of Huo Shaoheng's bedroom window, then tidied up her cosmetics.
There was no dresser in Huo Shaoheng's bedroom, so she placed some simple bottles and cans directly on his desk.
She was already sleepy before Huo Shaoheng came in.
She looked at her watch. It was already past midnight, so it was time to sleep.
She climbed onto the bed, leaving only a warm yellow night light on, and fell asleep just like that.
Huo Shaoheng finished dealing with the email and returned to the bedroom. He saw that Gu Nianzhi was already asleep.
He didn't wake her up and quietly went to the bathroom to wash up.
He turned on the bathroom light and saw the sapphire bottles and cans on the sink. Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and smiled.
With Gu Nianzhi's things, his bathroom seemed to have transitioned from a black and white movie to a color movie. The background and feeling were all different.
After washing up, he returned to the bedroom, turned off the nightlight, and lay down next to Gu Nianzhi.
She seemed to realize that the nightlight was off. She quietly moaned and shifted uneasily.
Huo Shaoheng pulled her into his arms and let her sleep with her head on his arm.
She quickly settled down, found a very comfortable position in the crook of his arm, and fell into a deep sleep again.
For the past few days, although the two of them slept in the same bed at night, there was no "accidental fire".
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but Gu Nianzhi's mood hadn't fully recovered yet. He didn't want to make things difficult for her.
So although he didn't feel very comfortable every night, he forced himself to endure it.
The two of them were husband and wife. They still had a lifetime ahead of them. There was no rush, no rush …
…
Happy days always fly by quickly.
Before he knew it, Huo Shaoheng's one-month vacation was almost over.
Gu Nianzhi was also preparing to return to the Senate to officially take up her post.
That morning, Gu Nianzhi came back from her morning jog with Little Corgi. Before she entered the house, she heard her phone ring.
She wore a Bluetooth headset and answered the call with a voice. She smiled and asked, "May I know who this is?"
"Nianzhi, it's me." He Zhichu's cold and clear voice came from the phone. In the hot summer morning, it actually sounded a little cold.
Gu Nianzhi smiled slightly. "Professor He? You released me from the blacklist? "
Ever since he had parted ways with Gu Nianzhi in front of Gu Xiangwen and his wife's grave at the National Martyrs' Cemetery, He Zhichu had blacklisted her phone.
Gu Nianzhi was also angry at He Zhichu's attitude towards her parents, so she didn't take the initiative to contact him.
The two of them hadn't spoken for a whole month.
Now that He Zhichu had taken the initiative to call, she could only take the opportunity to tease him.
He Zhichu was silent for a while, then said uncomfortably, "… I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Gu Nianzhi spoke as she walked up the steps of Huo Shaoheng's official residence. "Just don't talk about my parents like that in front of me in the future."
He Zhichu felt even more uncomfortable, but he could only nod. "Okay, I understand."
Then, he quickly changed the topic.
"Nianzhi, do you still remember Vanderbilt from the United States?"
Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks. "Vanderbilt? I remember. What's wrong? Has the case been solved? "
According to Gu Yanran and Ye Xuan's confessions, Vanderbilt was the appointed lawyer for Gu Nianzhi's father, Gu Xiangwen.
Ye Xuan had specially made a trip to Little Rock in the United States to ask Vanderbilt about Gu Xiangwen's will because of Gu Nianzhi and Gu Yanran's estate dispute.
But before the Vanderbilts had time to reply, the whole family was executed in their home. The murderer then set fire to the house, burning it almost to the ground.
At that time, the American police thought that Ye Xuan was the murderer because he had just come into contact with Vanderbilt's lawyer, and the Vanderbilt family was killed.
Because of this, a large number of police officers were sent to hunt him down. Later, it was He Zhichu who specially went to the United States to fight a lawsuit for him and rescue him.
At that time, Ye Xuan was exonerated, but no one knew who the murderer was.
He Zhichu held his phone and sat at his desk. He looked at the computer and said, "The case hasn't been solved, but the executor of Mr. Vanderbilt's will just contacted me. He said that there's a commission in Mr. Vanderbilt's list of law firms. It's from Gu Xiangwen's will, and it's for the beneficiary of the will, which is you."
Gu Nianzhi was extremely shocked. "Vanderbilt really has my father's will?!"
No one knew that Gu Xiangwen really did have a will, and that it was placed in the hands of an ordinary American lawyer.
There were a lot of such lawyers in the US. If one wasn't particularly familiar with Gu Xiangwen, how would they know his whereabouts?
Gu Nianzhi thought of Gu Yanran again.
She was probably the only one who knew that Vanderbilt was the lawyer for Gu Xiangwen's will.
It was clear that her father really didn't treat her as an outsider back then …
