Huo Shaoheng was going to cook for her?!
Gu Nianzhi was excited. She had eaten Huo Shaoheng's cooking when she was 12 years old …
After that, she ate in the military cafeteria. Although it was specially provided for generals, it was always cooked in large pots. It wasn't as good as Huo Shaoheng's cooking.
"Mrs. Huo, let's go out quickly. It's too narrow in here for Uncle Huo to turn around." Gu Nianzhi happily coaxed Song Jinning out.
They went to the living room outside and continued to have a friendly conversation about clothes, shoes, bags and other topics of mutual interest.
The more they talked, the more Gu Nianzhi was certain that Song Jinning's memory had stopped at 18 years old. It had been almost 30 years since then.
Some of the brands she was familiar with no longer existed. She knew nothing about the new brands that appeared later.
What kind of illness was this?
How could she remember things before she was 18, but forget things that happened after she turned 18?
And every day after that, she would forget what happened the day before, except for things that happened before she turned 18.
Gu Nianzhi planned to ask Chen Lie about Song Jinning's condition when she had time.
They talked outside for less than half an hour when a fragrant aroma wafted over from the small kitchen.
Gu Nianzhi's taste glands secreted saliva. She was hungry.
Why did it smell so good?!
It was the aroma of pure food. There were green beans, seafood, and probably eggs …
Gu Nianzhi sniffed and couldn't help feeling her way to the kitchen door.
Huo Shaoheng was scooping fried rice with a spatula.
He turned to see Gu Nianzhi poking her head in and raised an eyebrow, "You can still eat?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Yes, yes!"
Huo Shaoheng calmly turned to get a small bowl and ladled her a small bowl of San Xian fried rice.
Song Jinning followed him in and timidly stood behind Gu Nianzhi, not daring to walk forward.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her and didn't say anything. He just placed a white orchid porcelain plate on the table. There was a small pile of golden fried rice on the plate. The rice grains were plump and golden, and each grain was soaked in egg juice. The fresh green beans were sweet and refreshing. Although the prawns were defrosted, they were marinated with a little yellow wine, so they were very delicious and didn't smell fishy at all.
Gu Nianzhi finished the small bowl of San Xian fried rice in two mouthfuls. She wanted to lick the bowl again even after she was done.
It was simply too delicious. The taste seemed to have some sort of magical power, instantly reviving Gu Nianzhi's dulled sense of taste due to the fever.
Song Jinning silently sat across from Gu Nianzhi and began eating fried rice with a spoon.
As she ate, her brows furrowed. She looked up at Huo Shaoheng with confusion, then at Gu Nianzhi.
"What's wrong? Is it not delicious? If it doesn't taste good, I'll help you eat it … "Gu Nianzhi had already reached out to help Song Jinning" clean up. "
Huo Shaoheng took her hand and put it back. His gaze was a little stern. "You can't eat anymore."
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and quietly got up to pour tea.
Song Jinning finally asked Huo Shaoheng softly, "May I ask how you managed to make it taste like this?"
"I learned it from someone." He looked at Song Jinning with a complicated expression and turned to Gu Nianzhi. "Do you want to go for a walk?"
"Yes, of course!" Gu Nianzhi quickly placed the tea tray in front of Song Jinning. "Mrs. Huo, after you finish the fried rice, have some Pu 'er tea." She looked at Huo Shaoheng with stars in her eyes. "You really want to take me out for a walk?!"
"Today is Boxing Day. Many famous stores in the Imperial Capital will have good things on sale." Huo Shaoheng stepped aside. "Didn't you want to buy something?"
"Oh, oh, oh! Yes, yes! "Gu Nianzhi winked at Song Jinning." Take your time. I'm going out to buy something. "
Song Jinning nodded in confusion. She still looked at Huo Shaoheng. "… This taste is so familiar. I can make it too."
"Really?" Huo Shaoheng smiled. He took Gu Nianzhi's hand and left.
…
Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng down from the third floor. She asked him quietly, "… Why did your mother say this taste is so familiar?"
"Because this is the fried rice she used to make for me when I was young. I loved it when I was young." Huo Shaoheng replied dryly.
Gu Nianzhi was about to look sympathetic when Huo Shaoheng suddenly raised his hands to cup her face and pinch it. "Don't overthink it. I'm not that sentimental."
Huo Shaoheng's hands were strong. Gu Nianzhi's pale face blushed. He couldn't help but laugh. He patted her face gently and turned to go downstairs.
As soon as he turned a corner, he bumped into Huo Jialan, who was rushing up the stairs.
"Oh? Why are you guys down here? "Huo Jialan looked up to greet them." Did you see Mrs. Song? "
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Thank you."
Gu Nianzhi covered her red face. She secretly rolled her eyes at Huo Shaoheng. She peeked out from behind him. "Auntie Lan, why are you calling Mrs. Huo Mrs. Song?"
Although Song Jinning's surname was Song, she was married into the Huo family. She should be called "Mrs. Huo"!
Although women in the Hua Xia Empire didn't change their husband's surname after marriage, they usually used their husband's surname after marriage to distinguish themselves from single women.
Gu Nianzhi had noticed yesterday that she was the only one who called Song Jinning "Mrs. Huo". Everyone else, including the Huo family servants, called Song Jinning "Mrs. Song".
Huo Jialan's bright almond-shaped eyes blinked with interest. She looked at Huo Shaoheng with a smile. "Cousin Brother, you haven't told Miss Gu yet?"
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets. He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. "I'm going out for a smoke." He looked like he didn't want to talk about it anymore. He quickly walked down the stairs.
Gu Nianzhi's large, misty eyes looked at Huo Shaoheng's back. She then looked at the smiling Huo Jialan. She asked suspiciously, "What happened that I don't know about?"
"I'll let Cousin Brother tell you." Huo Jialan patted her shoulder. She looked up and smiled at Huo Shaoheng's back. She walked elegantly upstairs.
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at Huo Jialan's curvaceous back. She sighed enviously. She thought to herself that she had to work harder to get a waist like that, legs like that, and a butt like that …
Huo Jialan always dressed neatly at home. Today, she wore a pink and purple qipao with snow-white fox fur trim. It accentuated her curvaceous figure.
Gu Nianzhi could feel her waist twisting so much that it was almost a figure eight when she went upstairs.
Of course, Huo Jialan didn't do it on purpose. It was just that with her curvaceous figure and narrow qipao, it was inevitable that she would sway gracefully when she went upstairs.
Gu Nianzhi watched without blinking. She really wanted to learn how to be subtle.
She was still young after all …
Gu Nianzhi sighed faintly. As she went downstairs, she kept turning to peek at Huo Jialan's graceful movements.
She only looked back when she was completely out of sight. She looked up to see Huo Shaoheng with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a cigarette. He was leaning against the banister at the bottom of the stairs waiting for her.
"What are you looking at? Why are you so fascinated? Aren't you afraid of tripping on your way down? "Huo Shaoheng extended his free hand to her.
Gu Nianzhi took his hand and stared at the cigarette between his fingers. "Uncle Huo, are you going to smoke in the house?"
"Go change first. Let me finish this cigarette. "Huo Shaoheng let go of her hand and walked to the door.
Gu Nianzhi returned to the house to change. She wore a Burberry horn-button coat and a Mulberry backpack.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Huo Shaoheng come out from the guest bedroom. He wore a navy blue shirt over a dark brown leather jacket. It wasn't a jacket, but a casual suit jacket. It was slightly tucked in at the back and looked a bit like a hunting jacket, but without the fussiness of a hunting jacket. It was lighter than a coat and thicker than a wool suit jacket.
Huo Shaoheng looked even more handsome in it. He looked like he had just stepped out of a top fashion magazine. But none of the male models had Huo Shaoheng's good looks!
Gu Nianzhi was mesmerized.
"Let's go. What are you spacing out for?" Huo Shaoheng walked past her and took out his car keys from his leather jacket pocket.
Gu Nianzhi ran out behind Huo Shaoheng.
The two of them were dressed casually. Huo Shaoheng had only arranged for a few plainclothes guards to secretly follow and protect them. It wasn't as grand as the last time he picked Gu Nianzhi up.
"Where to?" Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng's car. She asked carefully, "Uncle Huo, do you know how to drive?"
Fan Jian had always been the driver. Fan Jian had been on vacation for the past few days, so Huo Shaoheng hadn't hired another driver for him.
Huo Shaoheng didn't look at her. He started the car and said dryly, "No, what should I do?"
"What should I do if I don't know how to drive?!" Gu Nianzhi glared at him for a while. She looked at his handsome profile and suddenly giggled. She whispered, "Fine, fine, fine. You can say whatever you want if you're handsome."
"What are you talking about?" Huo Shaoheng finally glared at her. "Sit tight and fasten your seatbelt."
Gu Nianzhi fastened her seatbelt and complimented the Bentley from front to back, inside and out.
Her words were exaggerated and talkative, so Huo Shaoheng listened to her voice as he was lost in his thoughts. He didn't need to respond to Gu Nianzhi's words anyway, so the time he spent with her was always relaxing and passed quickly.
It didn't take long before they arrived at Scion Plaza, the center of the famous stores in the Imperial Capital.
They parked the car in the underground parking lot. Gu Nianzhi exited the car excitedly and stretched out her hand to spin in a circle. She said happily, "This parking lot is even bigger than the malls in the United States!"
Huo Shaoheng locked the car and said expressionlessly, "Let's go to the eighth floor."
The famous stores were all located on the eighth floor of the Scion Plaza.
Gu Nianzhi jogged to catch up to him. She watched as the number of people in the parking lot increased. She pursed her lips and walked to Huo Shaoheng's side. She said meekly, "Huo … Huo Shao, I need to discuss something with you."
"Go ahead."
"Um, I won't call you Uncle when we're outside today, okay?" Gu Nianzhi asked, blushing.
She wanted to shop with Huo Shaoheng like they were of the same generation and have a beautiful memory.
But it wouldn't be a beautiful memory if she kept calling him "Uncle Huo."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He tilted his head to look at her and said dryly, "The way you're bouncing around, people will think you're my junior even if you don't call me Uncle."
Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped in her tracks. "I'm not bouncing around! I wanted to talk to you. Who told you to walk so fast? "
So he thought she was too young and didn't have the demeanor of a mature woman …
Gu Nianzhi's heart ached but she forced it down and didn't show it.
Huo Shaoheng slowed down to match her pace. As if taking a leisurely stroll, he led her into the elevator and went straight to the eighth floor.
The Chanel flagship store in the Hua Xia Empire was directly opposite the elevator on the eighth floor.
"Go in and pick out some clothes." Huo Shaoheng took out a cigarette. "I'll wait for you here."
He stood in the hallway outside the Chanel store and lit his cigarette. He waved at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi felt dizzy when she saw all the colors. Without another word, she went in to greet the newest Chanel collection.
Huo Shaoheng watched her bouncing back and smiled. He leaned against the railing on the eighth floor and smoked in silence.
Half an hour later, Gu Nianzhi came out of the Chanel store with a smile on her face. She was about to show off her achievements to Huo Shaoheng when she heard someone rush over in surprise. "Huo Shao?! Isn't that Huo Shao?! You're finally back! We haven't seen each other in years! "
