Chen Lie had just walked in with a tray full of his favorite breakfast foods and heard Huo Shaoheng's words. He frowned with displeasure. "Huo Shao, it's your business to scold Little Ze and Big Xiong, but it's not nice of you to drag me into this. When have I ever gossiped? Pfft! What a joke! The Military General Hospital's Coldest Prince Charming is my nickname! "
Pfft!
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong burst out laughing.
"What? You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, don't come looking for me next time you're sick! "Chen Lie used his trump card.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong immediately rebelled and bowed to Chen Lie. One of them pulled out a chair for him and the other poured him milk. They said eagerly, "Brother Chen, please sit. Brother Chen, are you tired? Brother Chen, do you want us to feed you? "
"Pfft! Go sit on the side! " Chen Lie glanced at Huo Shaoheng, then at the people in the dining room. He was surprised. "Where's Nianzhi? Where's Mrs. Song? "
"Mrs. Song said she wanted to have breakfast in her room. She didn't come down today." The orderly in charge of serving them in the dining room quickly answered. "Huo Shao, should we ask Mrs. Song to come down?"
"No need." Huo Shaoheng waved his hand and looked at the breakfast on the table. He ordered, "Bring Nianzhi's breakfast to her room and bring the tray out when she's finished."
"Yes, sir."
The orderly brought Gu Nianzhi's breakfast tray to her room and knocked on the door. No one answered.
"Miss Gu, breakfast." He turned on the intercom at the door and spoke to the person inside.
Gu Nianzhi was in the middle of a shower when she heard the intercom in the bathroom. She quickly turned off the water and raised her voice. "Just put it in the living room. Thank you! I'm in the shower. Open the door yourself. It's not locked. "
"Ok, I've put the breakfast on the coffee table in your living room." The orderly opened the door and put the tray down. He closed the door and returned to the dining room.
Zhao Liangze saw him return and asked worriedly, "Did Nianzhi eat?"
The orderly shook his head. "Lieutenant Colonel, Miss Gu was taking a shower. I put the tray on the coffee table and came out."
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and snickered. It looked like Nianzhi minded Zhao Liangze saying she smelled like sweat.
"Yo! Little girl, you've grown up, hahahaha … "
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong instantly felt like they had a girl in their house. They smiled happily.
Huo Shaoheng expressionlessly picked up his knife and fork to eat his breakfast. He did not react at all.
Recalling how Huo Shaoheng had called him a master of gossip, Chen Lie grinned darkly and turned to ask the orderly, "Is Miss Gu taking a shower? Then how did you get in? "
The orderly was only 17 or 18 years old, so he was even younger than Gu Nianzhi. He had a simple and honest expression on his face as he replied very seriously, "Miss Gu said the door wasn't locked, so she told me to push the door open and go in myself."
"The door wasn't locked …" Chen Lie said meaningfully, his eyes constantly drifting to Huo Shaoheng. "She didn't lock the door when she was taking a shower. This little girl can't get into this habit. Of course nothing will happen here, but if she gets into this habit and doesn't lock the door when she's taking a shower outside … Tsk tsk, I can't imagine … "
He clearly saw Huo Shaoheng's hand tighten around his knife and fork, then quickly relax. He continued to eat his breakfast indifferently.
He ate at the same speed as usual and even drank a small cup of coffee before saying to Zhao Liangze, "You said you had materials to send to me yesterday. I'm free now, so send them over quickly."
Zhao Liangze had not finished his breakfast yet and choked on his food. He almost couldn't breathe and quickly drank a glass of juice before saying, "I'm not done with that stuff yet. Huo Shaoheng wants it now?"
"Yeah, right away. I have half a day off. I have a meeting with the Supreme Military Council in the afternoon." Huo Shaoheng stood up and strode out of the dining room.
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Liangze immediately put down his breakfast and hurried to organize the materials for Huo Shaoheng.
Chen Lie rubbed his chin and looked at Huo Shaoheng's retreating figure in deep thought. Why was this bastard more reserved in his emotions?
Even he couldn't see any clues!
How amazing!
Chen Lie gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up.
Yin Shixiong looked at him in confusion and stuffed a large mouthful of cheese and mashed potatoes into his mouth. He asked in a muffled voice, "Dr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"
"I'm complimenting your Huo Shaoheng. He's getting better and better. His steadiness and composure has reached perfection." Chen Lie said with a smile.
"Of course. Otherwise, how could he be a major general and I a lieutenant colonel when we're the same age?" Yin Shixiong rolled his eyes. "Dr. Chen, if you learn from Huo Shaoheng, you wouldn't be stuck at the position of senior colonel for so long without being promoted."
This was also something that hurt Chen Lie. He felt that Huo Shaoheng's personal secretary was as annoying as he was. He roared, "Get out!"
He wanted nothing more than to glare at Yin Shixiong.
Yin Shixiong laughed out loud and stuffed the two dumplings into his mouth. Only then did he stagger out of the room to work.
…
Huo Shaoheng returned to the second floor. He was supposed to return to his suite, but he stood at the door to his suite and looked at Gu Nianzhi's bedroom door. He walked over and opened the door.
The door wasn't locked, and there was breakfast on the coffee table. Was it not done yet?
Huo Shaoheng locked the door and walked past the living room to the bedroom inside.
The bathroom was inside the bedroom.
When he arrived at the bedroom, he didn't hear the sound of running water in the bathroom.
Huo Shaoheng was a bit confused and called out, "Nianzhi?"
Gu Nianzhi was applying body lotion in the bathroom, but her eyes were fixed on the bottles of perfume on the bathroom vanity.
When she heard Huo Shaoheng's voice, she froze and hurriedly wrapped a towel around herself. "Huo Shao? What's the matter? "
Huo Shaoheng looked up to see Gu Nianzhi standing in front of him.
Her pitch-black hair was wet and still dripping water. The towel was only wrapped around her chest and covered her thighs.
Her skin, which had just come out of the shower, was fair and glowing. The luster came from the inner layer of her skin, like a layer of light reflecting on the surface.
Huo Shaoheng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his voice became even deeper. "… Who taught you not to lock the door when you shower?"
Gu Nianzhi looked around in confusion and said, "This is your official residence, Huo Shao. It's absolutely safe. I'll be fine even if I run around naked. "
"You're in the right now?" Although what Gu Nianzhi said was correct, Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but be enraged when he heard it. He took two steps forward, his expression stern. "Say that again?"
Gu Nianzhi was so scared that she took two steps back and wrapped the towel around her chest. She gathered her courage and said, "What did I say wrong? Huo Shao has good people here. They won't do anything to me. Besides, even if someone wants to do anything, with Huo Shao's tight security, they'll probably be taken down before they can do anything. What am I afraid of? Why would I lock the door! "
"Then you can leave the door unlocked when you shower? And you want to run around naked? "Huo Shaoheng frowned at Gu Nianzhi. — — To be so unguarded against a man, was it because she was too careless, or was it because his education had failed?
Gu Nianzhi didn't understand what Huo Shaoheng was conflicted about. She blinked her large, misty eyes and muttered quietly, "… I was just making an example. It's not like I'm really going to run around naked … Even if they don't do anything to me, I'm still embarrassed, okay …"
"What kind of example is not good?" Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and stopped walking. "Remember, no matter where you are, always lock the door when you shower."
"The bathroom door … Of course …" Gu Nianzhi suddenly remembered that she hadn't actually locked the bathroom door just now …
She didn't dare to think too much about it and immediately nodded guiltily. "Okay, okay, I'll definitely lock the outside door in the future."
Huo Shaoheng could tell something was wrong from her tone. "… Don't tell me you didn't even lock the bathroom door just now?"
If Huo Shaoheng hadn't asked, Gu Nianzhi could have kept it a secret and comforted herself that she hadn't lied to him.
But now that Huo Shaoheng had asked, Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to tell him.
However, Huo Shaoheng had been so angry just now. Gu Nianzhi was worried that if she told him, he would be even more displeased with her.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
