"You have a guest?" Huo Shaoheng stood up calmly. "Then I'd better go back."
"Go back for what?" General Ji didn't allow him to refuse. "Since you're here, let's have a meal together! Since when have you not eaten at my house? "
Huo Shaoheng smiled and bent down to pick up his briefcase from the sofa. "You didn't have any guests in the past, so I didn't mind getting a free meal. Now that you have a guest, it doesn't seem right for me to get a free meal. "
"What's wrong with that? She's not really a guest. You met her last time. " General Ji glared at him. "Deputy Chief of Staff Xu's daughter, Xu Piaohong. You don't remember her?"
Huo Shaoheng pretended to be deep in thought and shook his head. "I really don't remember. Have I seen her before? "
"Don't play dumb!" General Ji was slightly disappointed to see Huo Shaoheng like this. "You were forced to stop your car by her not long ago. You really don't remember?"
"Oh, so it's that intern who doesn't know much about traffic rules." Huo Shaoheng clenched his fist and coughed. "I remember her, but I don't remember her name."
General Ji said angrily, "How could you forget her name? Is she that inconspicuous? "
"Why should I remember her name?" Huo Shaoheng said calmly. "I have a hundred things to do every day. I can't afford to be distracted. General Ji, why don't you tell me what this Officer Xu did to deserve me remembering her name? "
General Ji looked at Huo Shaoheng with his mouth agape. He didn't know what to say. He could only mutter to himself as he walked to the dining room. "It's just remembering a name. Did she really have to do something earth-shattering?"
Huo Shaoheng calmly walked behind General Ji and followed him into the Ji residence's dining room.
Actually, General Ji had asked him to stay even if there was no reason. Huo Shaoheng wasn't an inflexible person. He just had to show his attitude.
General Ji understood that.
When they entered the dining room, Xu Piaohong was already at the dining table with General Ji's wife.
"Shaoheng, you're here. Come and sit!" General Ji's wife greeted Huo Shaoheng warmly and invited him to sit next to Xu Piaohong.
Xu Piaohong was a little uneasy, but she still said graciously, "Hello, Major General Huo. I didn't expect to see you again."
"We're all acquaintances. Why are you being so polite?" General Ji chuckled as he sat down next to his wife. "Piaohong, it's getting late. Let Huo Shao send you back after dinner."
Xu Piaohong blushed immediately. She sneaked a peek at Huo Shaoheng and happened to see his breathtakingly handsome profile. Under the light, the corners of his lips curled up, and his expression was so calm that it made people's hair stand on end.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Piaohong sneaking glances at him. He glanced over and nodded politely. "Miss Xu, did you drive here?"
Xu Piaohong was captivated by his beauty and nodded blankly. "Yes, I drove here."
General Ji wanted to cover his face.
This lass was too honest!
Huo Shaoheng had tricked her into coming out …
As expected, Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, "Since Miss Xu drove here, I'll have the orderlies follow your car and send you back."
Only then did Xu Piaohong realize what she had said. She was filled with regret.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have said she drove here. She could have left her car with General Ji and asked her father to find someone to drive it back tomorrow.
General Ji had no choice but to find an excuse for himself. He smiled. "So Piaohong drove here? Forget it then. Shaoheng doesn't need to send you back. I thought you came in your father's car. "
"My father's car is a military car. My mother and I never take my father's official car." Xu Piaohong said politely to show that she wouldn't take advantage of the military.
"Haha, how rare!" General Ji laughed heartily and put some food in Xu Piaohong's bowl. "Deputy Chief of Staff Xu, with a family like this, should be a role model for the military!"
Huo Shaoheng smiled and nodded as if in agreement. However, he didn't say anything and picked up his bowl to eat.
Xu Piaohong carefully observed Huo Shaoheng's behavior. She saw that he ate very properly and slowly. His manners were impeccable.
Her father always made loud noises when eating at home. He even told her that all the people in the military were like that. That's what a man should be like!
But Huo Shaoheng was different from the soldiers on her father's side.
So it wasn't just eating rough that people could be called men …
Xu Piaohong couldn't help but ladle a bowl of soup for Huo Shaoheng. She placed it on his right hand and smiled. "Major General Huo, this is codonopsis and wolfberry lamb soup. It's very nourishing. My mother said that we should have nourishment in the winter. "
Huo Shaoheng paused. Seeing that General Ji and his wife were smiling at him, he couldn't refuse and could only take it. "Thank you, Miss Xu."
The soup was very small, so Huo Shaoheng didn't mind. He finished it in two gulps and put it aside.
He didn't expect Xu Piaohong to see him finish it so quickly. She thought that he liked it and quickly filled another bowl for him.
Huo Shaoheng quickly said, "You're welcome, Miss Xu. I've had enough."
"This is the last bowl. Major General Huo, please eat." Xu Piaohong pushed the soup to Huo Shaoheng. "General Ji's house has good things. I even said that I wanted to learn cooking from Mrs. Ji. Major General Huo, what do you like to eat? "
Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, "I like to eat everything."
Saying that he liked to eat everything was equivalent to saying that he wouldn't tell her what he liked to eat.
Xu Piaohong choked and understood what Huo Shaoheng was implying. She didn't ask further.
However, she couldn't taste the food. She picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites. Seeing that Huo Shaoheng had finished his meal and was drinking tea, she stopped eating.
Huo Shaoheng blew on the cigarette and asked her calmly, "Miss Xu, you're not eating anymore?"
"No, I'm full." Xu Piaohong patted herself exaggeratedly. "Auntie's food is really delicious!"
Huo Shaoheng looked at the remaining food in Xu Piaohong's bowl and smiled. He didn't say anything else.
He finished his tea and got up to leave.
General Ji couldn't urge him to send Xu Piaohong off anymore. He could only give her a look.
Xu Piaohong mustered her courage and chased after him. "Major General Huo, are you going to the parking lot?"
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "My car is at the entrance."
"Oh …" Xu Piaohong was a little disappointed. "My car is in the parking lot."
"This is the residence of the members of the Supreme Military Council. It's very safe." Huo Shaoheng said politely. "But if Miss Xu still doesn't dare to go, I can get my orderly to take you there."
"No need … No need … I didn't mean it that way. I know it's very safe here." Xu Piaohong quickly waved her hand. "Then Major General Huo, you can go first. I just remembered that I left my things at General Ji's house."
"Alright, I'll go first." Huo Shaoheng nodded at her and got into his car.
Fan Jian started the car in the driver's seat and quickly drove out of the residential area of the Supreme Military Council.
Huo Shaoheng sat in the car and rubbed his forehead. He closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, he felt a little hot. He wasn't sure if it was because he drank too much mutton soup.
Looking up at the road outside, he seemed to be passing by the entrance of B University. He said to Fan Jian, "Drive to B University. I'll go see Nianzhi."
