"Major General Huo's mother? Of course I don't have the fortune to meet her. "Gu Yanran nodded with a smile." Is she really beautiful? "
"More than just beautiful." Xue Jingjiang turned to glance at Gu Yanran. "Of course Miss Gu is a great beauty, but objectively speaking, she's far from Huo Shao's mother."
Gu Yanran didn't seem surprised at all. "I believe you. Just by looking at Huo Shao, his mother must be a great beauty. Otherwise, how could she have such a good-looking son?"
"Haha, that's true. Huo Shao has always been the best looking brat among us. "Xue Jingjiang winked as he looked around." Don't tell anyone … "
Gu Yanran giggled at his childish behavior. "Jingjiang, I didn't expect you to be so funny. It's so interesting talking to you."
The two of them walked out of the restaurant while talking and headed for the elevator.
With a ding sound, the elevator door opened in front of them. A woman in a light cyan Thousand Birds wool suit hurriedly walked out of the elevator and went into the restaurant.
Gu Yanran glanced at her, then quietly followed Xue Jingjiang into the elevator. She didn't mention what had just happened. The two of them talked about the upcoming business deal and were very agreeable.
The woman who hurried into the restaurant asked the waiter for directions and followed him to Zhao Liangze's seat.
"This is the Mr. Zhao you were looking for." The waiter bowed and said to Zhao Liangze, "This is the Miss Bai you were waiting for." He then turned to leave.
Zhao Liangze looked at Bai Shuang in surprise and couldn't help looking behind her. "Bai Shuang, it's you? Where's your cousin? "
He was clearly meeting Bai Shuang's cousin, Bai Yueran, who was also a colleague of his in the Special Operations Forces.
How did it become Bai Shuang?
Bai Shuang said apologetically, "My cousin suddenly had an emergency and went abroad. She can't come. Before she left, she called me and asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. "
Zhao Liangze's expression changed.
It wasn't that he couldn't tell that Bai Yueran was tactfully rejecting him.
What era was it now?
If she couldn't come, she could use her mobile phone, text message, or any kind of instant messaging system to help her deliver the message, but she chose to let Bai Shuang help her pass the message.
Bai Shuang saw the look on Zhao Liangze's face and felt very sad for him. "… My cousin really has something to do. Actually, I wanted to call you, but then I thought it would be inappropriate to explain it over the phone, so I came in person. But from the looks of it, I might as well make a phone call. "
Zhao Liangze was well-trained and quickly composed himself. He squinted his eyes and smiled. "It's okay. Come, sit down. We still have to eat even if your cousin isn't here. Have you eaten? "
Bai Shuang froze for a moment. "You want to treat me to dinner?"
"Yeah, why can't I?" Under the chandelier in the restaurant, Zhao Liangze's handsome and fair face was like a magnet that firmly attracted her gaze.
Bai Shuang's feet were rooted to the ground, unable to walk out of the restaurant.
She couldn't help but sit down in the seat across from Zhao Liangze and whispered, "Then I'll have to trouble you." She paused and said, "But this is your Valentine's Day dinner …"
"It's okay, it's just a meal. Who says you can't treat friends to dinner on Valentine's Day?" Zhao Liangze said as he beckoned for the waiter. "Serve the dishes."
He had already ordered the set meal, and it took a full half hour for Bai Shuang to arrive.
Bai Shuang was also a little embarrassed.
She was going to watch an old movie alone at home today, but she suddenly received a call from her cousin ten minutes ago. She said that she was on a plane to Europe and had an urgent mission, so she couldn't make it to Zhao Liangze's appointment. She asked Bai Shuang to help call and apologize.
Bai Shuang immediately said, "Cousin, you should call yourself."
But Bai Yueran didn't know if she was in a hurry to get on the plane or if she had something else to do, so she couldn't reach her phone anymore.
With no other choice, Bai Shuang hurriedly drove over and personally apologized to Zhao Liangze.
Zhao Liangze's mood had quickly changed. He looked at Bai Shuang with a smile and said, "Miss Bai, you're dressed so beautifully. Don't you have a date?"
As soon as he said that, she sat down. It was obvious that she had nowhere to go …
Bai Shuang blushed, but still said generously, "Yes, no one wants to ask me out, so I originally planned to watch an old movie at home."
"What old movie?" Zhao Liangze asked with great interest. "Let's see if we have the same hobbies."
"It's a very, very old movie, almost a hundred years old." Bai Shuang put her handbag on the side of the dining table. "Have you seen Casabianca?"
"Oh … Of course I've seen it. I really like the song with the same name, Casabianca." Zhao Liangze raised his eyebrows in surprise. "It's very nice."
"Really? I also like that song! "Bai Shuang was so surprised that she couldn't help but hum in a low voice.
Her voice was normal, but when she sang, there was a special low charm to it.
Especially when she sang, "a-kiss-is-not-a-kiss-without-your-sigh … i-love-you-more-and-more-each-day-as-time-goes-by." Zhao Liangze couldn't help but hum along.
The two looked at each other and smiled. They didn't expect to have such a common hobby.
With a common interest, the conversation between the two became smoother.
Although Zhao Liangze wasn't as eloquent as Yin Shixiong, he wasn't far behind.
Bai Shuang had always had a good impression of him. Although he didn't like her, it didn't prevent them from being normal friends.
She could suppress her love in her heart and only be normal friends with him.
…
At the other end of the restaurant, Gu Nianzhi saw Zhao Liangze and a beautiful woman eating with him when Huo Shaoheng got up to answer the phone again.
Huh? Wasn't this the former First Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bai Shuang?
Gu Nianzhi frowned and searched her memory for this woman. She remembered many things.
At that time, because of the Nandou satellite communication system incident, Gu Nianzhi had manipulated it behind the scenes and let Bai Shuang be in the limelight.
Later, when she was in the United States, Huo Shaoheng attended a cocktail party through Zhao Liangze's video call and saw Bai Shuang.
At that time, she only saw Huo Shaoheng smile in Bai Shuang's direction, and she was so jealous …
So this woman was Brother Ze's girlfriend?
She had wronged Huo Shao …
As Gu Nianzhi thought about it, she couldn't help but smile and look down.
"What are you smiling about?" Huo Shaoheng had just sat down and turned to see Gu Nianzhi's playful expression. He quietly leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked and was about to push him away, but Huo Shaoheng had already sat up straight. "We haven't eaten dessert yet. What dessert do you want?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't want dessert and said, "Huo Shao, can we take the dessert home?" She tugged at his arm and pouted to the other side of the restaurant. "Look, that's Brother Ze and his girlfriend …"
Huo Shaoheng turned his head to look in the direction Gu Nianzhi was pointing and found that Zhao Liangze, who had been sitting alone a moment ago, had a female companion.
And that female companion was Bai Shuang …
Huo Shaoheng glanced at them calmly and looked away. He said to Gu Nianzhi, "She probably isn't his girlfriend yet."
"Huh? Brother Ze is still courting her? "Gu Nianzhi was even more interested." Bai Shuang is the first secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right? Tsk tsk, young and promising. Brother Ze has to work hard to catch up! "
Huo Shaoheng thought of Bai Shuang's father and shook his head calmly. "I'm afraid Bai Shuang isn't suitable for Little Ze. I'll tell him when I get back. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
After a while, she asked cautiously, "Huo Shao, are you going to interfere with Brother Ze's personal affairs?"
"I'm not interfering. I'm just reminding him." Huo Shaoheng said calmly as he waved for dessert. "His military rank isn't low. If he wants to submit a marriage report, Bai Shuang won't be able to pass the background check."
It was the first time Gu Nianzhi had heard the words "background check," and she subconsciously felt uneasy.
She didn't speak anymore and quietly finished an entire plate of cheesecake by herself.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her several times and saw that she was engrossed in eating, so he didn't say anything.
After eating, he left the restaurant and was blown by the cold night wind outside. Gu Nianzhi snapped back to reality and looked at Huo Shaoheng's tall figure. She asked in a low voice, "… Huo Shao, if you want to submit a marriage report, do you also have to go through a background check?"
