Gu Nianzhi immediately turned to look at the kettle on the induction cooker.
However, Huo Shaoheng was faster than her. He had already reached her side in three steps, turned off the induction cooker, and picked up the kettle at the same time.
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly and shrank her neck. "… Um, I wasn't paying attention and forgot to boil the water."
Lu Jin quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. Look, this 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 to the covered teacup she had prepared earlier. "It's over here."
Huo Shaoheng held the kettle and skillfully brewed four cups of tea.
Gu Nianzhi awkwardly took the tray out.
Lu Yuan frowned and asked Lu Jin, "What were you guys doing just now? Why didn't you turn off the fire when the water was boiling? "
Lu Jin chuckled and said, "I forgot the kettle when I was talking to my girl."
"How could you forget that?" Lu Yuan shook his head. "Alright, you guys can come out. In the future, you and your daughter can't stay in a place with a stove at the same time. It's too dangerous."
Lu Jin wanted to retort, but he couldn't find the right words. He could only follow Lu Yuan out dejectedly.
Gu Nianzhi sat next to Huo Shaoheng and picked up her covered teacup to blow on it. She tried to find a topic to talk about, "Major General Huo, what were you talking about with President Lu just now?"
Huo Shaoheng glared at her. "Should I be asking you what you were talking about with your father? You're so engrossed that you don't even know the water is boiling? "
Gu Nianzhi was 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 and say unhappily, "Tell my dad where they live. Major General Huo, I want to buy Gu Yanran's house there."
Huo Shaoheng was taken aback. "… Isn't it already under your name? Why do you still want to buy more? "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "That's not my house. It's Little Nianzhi's. I can't take over her family property. "
Although she had handed over most of the Gu family's property to the state, a part of it was still in her hands.
Just this portion of real estate, trust funds, stocks, bonds, antiques, and savings was already an astronomical figure.
The houses under Gu Yanran's name were returned to their rightful owners after the court's verdict and transferred to Gu Nianzhi's name.
Now that Gu Nianzhi knew about her parentage, she couldn't sit still with the money.
Huo Shaoheng understood her concerns. He didn't really care about the money, so he said in a low voice, "It's what I should do. But how do you operate it? "
Do I have to sell it to myself?
In any case, the secrets of the other world could not be made public.
There could be another explanation for Gu Nianzhi's background, but it definitely couldn't be that she came from the other world.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it for a while, then said irritably, "How about this? I'll donate it to the charity first, then give them a sum of money to buy it from the charity."
Huo Shaoheng shook his head with a smile. "You're overthinking it. How about this, you give your father some money and let him buy the house from you. After that, you can donate the money to the charity fund you set up. "
"Sure! That works too! "Gu Nianzhi nodded happily." That sounds more reasonable. "
It was better than selling himself to himself.
Lu Jin quickly said, "Why would I take Nianzhi's money? I can borrow it from the bank … "
"Dad, don't refuse. Just treat it as a loan from me. When you have the money, you can return it to me. " Gu Nianzhi smiled and made an OK gesture. "Then it's happily decided!"
Lu Jin wanted to say something, but Lu Yuan shook his head at him and said kindly, "I still have some money. Just now, Shaoheng said that my mother also left me a portion of her inheritance, and it's in his hands now. He will transfer it to my name. I'll pay for the house. "
Lu Jin rolled his eyes and said, "How about this, we'll buy one each. I'll borrow money from Nianzhi and buy her house. You'll buy Gu Yanran's house. I heard that these two houses happen to be upstairs and downstairs. "
"If it's convenient, we can find a place to add a staircase between the two houses. That way, it'll become a two-story luxury suite!"
Gu Nianzhi coughed and winked at Lu Jin. She smiled and said, "That's not good. Dad, it's better if you and CEO Lu each have one. That's more convenient. Besides, the elevator goes straight into the house. One floor at a time. It's also very convenient for you to visit each other. "
Lu Jin understood and laughed. "Okay then, I'll listen to my girl. We'll each have one 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 show us 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. "Major General Huo, is anyone cleaning that house?"
If no one cleaned it after a year of not being here, who knew how much dust there would be.
Huo Shaoheng nodded with a faint smile. "Everyone cleans it."
He raised his hand and called Yin Shixiong over. "Big Xiong, take the two Mr. Lu to Nianzhi's two apartments in the Third Ring Road to take a look. Also, take the two of them to get their IDs, open their bank accounts, and buy some daily necessities, clothes, and utensils."
Lu Yuan and Lu Jin didn't bring anything with them and came here empty-handed.
However, the two of them weren't worried at all.
A problem that could be solved with money wasn't 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."
Thus, she obediently stayed behind.
Yin Shixiong smiled and called out to Lu Yuan and Lu Jin. "Come with me, please. I just called. The police station will handle special matters. Today, there will be someone to help you with your IDs and household registration."
This wasn't a normal "special matter". This was a "special matter" jointly instructed by General Ji, Speaker Long, and Prime Minister Bai. They had to make sure Mr. Lu Jin had Huaxia Empire citizenship.
Lu Jin was still a little reluctant to part with Gu Nianzhi and wanted to ask her to come with him. Lu Yuan understood what Huo Shaoheng meant. He pulled Lu Jin and said, "Hurry up and tidy up your house. Prepare a room for Nianzhi so that she can live with you legally."
Lu Jin came back to his senses and nodded vigorously. "Okay, okay! I'll go prepare it right away! "
His top priority was to make money.
Was he going to invest in stocks, gamble, or buy horses?
These were the fastest ways to make money.
With Lu Jin's super computing ability, these were not a problem.
Lu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? When you've tidied up your 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 sit at home and count the money. "
Lu Jin scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Huh? I still have to apply for a patent? I was going to give it to them as a meeting gift … "
"That won't do." Lu Yuan walked side by side with him and said casually, "No one will cherish something that's given away for free. Moreover, giving it away for free from the beginning is a bad start. Do you still expect to receive money for future products? "
"… No way?" Lu Jin blinked. "Aren't you on good terms with them? Besides, Huo Shaoheng is their boss … "
"Never test others with benefits, whether it's a person or an organization," Lu Yuan said meaningfully. "It's better to do business with money. And we can't let them feel that good things come too easily. Although I'm also one of them, I don't want the entire military to lose its ability to innovate because of a cheat like you. "
At the end of the day, the military had to have its own talent echelon plan in order to maintain its vigor.
He would rather let a genius like Lu Jin, who was hard to come by, be a teacher and teach everyone how to think.
It was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Lu Jin was indeed not as smart as Lu Yuan in business. Lu Yuan was also the main decision maker in the Lu Corporation.
Lu Jin was a major shareholder, but he was only in charge of the quality of the products. He did not manage the business, nor did he care about sales.
"Then I'll listen to you." Lu Jin said without hesitation, "When I'm done tidying up the house, I'll print out the blueprint for the magnetic storm gun. However, I won't give them the best configuration for the first blueprint, but the basic configuration."
"That's more like it." Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "Only by taking it step by step will we not spoil things through excessive enthusiasm."
..
After sending Lu Yuan, Lu Jin, and Yin Shixiong out, Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng up to the second floor uneasily.
Pushing open the door to Huo Shaoheng's suite, Gu Nianzhi lowered her head. She had been wondering what Huo Shaoheng wanted 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 pantry in the study, which was why she looked so guilty.
Actually, Gu Nianzhi's expression was already very calm. People who didn't know her very well wouldn't be able to tell.
However, Huo Shaoheng had raised her and knew her emotional changes like the back of his hand.
"What's wrong? Is there a secret that you can't tell me? " Huo Shaoheng lifted Gu Nianzhi's chin and tapped her plump lips with his thumb.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes like a kitten. She stuck out the tip of her delicate tongue and licked Huo Shaoheng's thumb.
In an instant, an electric current flowed through his fingers, and Huo Shaoheng let go out of reflex.
But he quickly tightened his grip again and raised Gu Nianzhi's chin.
He lowered his head and leaned very close to her. As he inhaled and exhaled, his unique scent intermittently pounced on Gu Nianzhi's face.
Gu Nianzhi liked Huo Shaoheng's scent very much. His cold masculine scent had a hint of black pine's elegance and sweetness. Just like his person, he was as steady as a mountain and as upright as a pine and cypress.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened slightly as she snuggled into Huo Shaoheng's arms. She felt very safe being wrapped tightly by him.
Everyone's love came from a different source. Gu Nianzhi knew that the beginning of her love came from this extreme sense of security.
She didn't know why she was so infatuated with Huo Shaoheng in the past. She had clearly never experienced any hardships or dangers, so why did she still crave a sense of security so much?
Later, she found out that this bone-deep desire for a sense of security came from the inhuman experiences she had experienced when she was young …
Although her memories of those years were gone, this desire for a sense of security was indelible.
She could even imagine that when her little self was hiding under the table, hiding in the darkness without light, what her heart yearned for the most was for someone to reach out to her and carry her out of the darkness, right?
When her father sent her to this world and she was tied up in the burning car, it was Huo Shaoheng who reached out to her and rescued her.
In the days that followed, it was also him who gave her all-round protection and gave her an absolute sense of security.
Thinking of this, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help clinging to Huo Shaoheng even tighter.
The lines of her soft body perfectly matched Huo Shaoheng's hard body.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her firmly. This feeling was completely different from when he was on the other side.
It was only here that he felt that Gu Nianzhi completely belonged to him.
She was the treasure he had lost and regained.
"… Nianzhi, give me …" he said slowly, but his hands didn't slow down at all. He quickly carried her into the bedroom.
…
From day to night.
Then, from the dark night, it was the rising sun.
Two loving hearts overlapped without any distance, tirelessly experiencing each other's love.
He had never been so gentle, but she had never been so eager.
Other than going to the bathroom to wash up, the two of them even ate in bed.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and shone on the bedroom floor, Huo Shaoheng opened his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what day it was.
His hand moved, and he instinctively grabbed Gu Nianzhi's hand.
He turned his head and saw that she was still sleeping soundly by his pillow. He immediately woke up, and his anxious heart completely calmed down.
She and he were finally home.
He squeezed her hand a little hard, and Gu Nianzhi frowned in her sleep and snorted.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her with interest, so he simply turned around and kissed her on the cheek.
He kissed her very quickly, and his lips parted as soon as they touched her face. It was even more gentle than a dragonfly skimming the water.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi didn't feel anything. She didn't even snort.
Her long black hair was spread across the pillow. Huo Shaoheng brushed her hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate little face. Her cheeks were still flushed.
Huo Shaoheng's gaze gradually moved from her dark red lips to her high nose bridge. Her big eyes were tightly shut, and only two rows of long black eyelashes like crow wings could be seen.
He still remembered how he had bullied her last night, and the crystalline tears that rolled down her long eyelashes.
He looked again at her slightly sunken eye sockets, and the two eyebrows seemed to be a little messy.
Gu Nianzhi's eyebrows were very beautiful. They were very elegant and distant mountain eyebrows, but they hadn't been trimmed for a while. Although the natural shape of her eyebrows hadn't changed, some eyebrows seemed to be out of line.
Huo Shaoheng used the pad of his finger to smooth her eyebrows.
Gu Nianzhi was so comfortable that she grunted in her sleep.
Raising her hand to rub her eyebrows, she messed them up again in the blink of an eye.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her, amused. When she fell asleep again, Huo Shaoheng stretched lazily and took out his phone from under his pillow to swipe it.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly moved and scooted over. Without opening her eyes, she mumbled something and hugged Huo Shaoheng's arm, using it as a pillow.
Huo Shaoheng had wanted 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.
