Gu Nianzhi drank her milk with her head down and didn't seem to hear what Bai Yueran said.
Even if she did, she could only pretend not to hear.
This was Huo Shaoheng's business and Gu Nianzhi shouldn't be listening.
She looked down at the unfinished egg tarts on the bluegrass plate in front of her and picked one up with her fork to eat carefully.
Huo Shaoheng put down the coffee cup in his hand and said calmly, "There are special procedures for the Special Ops to recruit people. Although Director Bai was just transferred here, you should know about it."
Bai Yueran smiled, "Of course I know, but I still have to let you know because General Ji is taking special care of me." She paused, and her face turned serious. "Xu Piaohong is different from the others. General Ji wants you to think about it. It would be better if you could get along with her. The Special Ops has always encouraged internal marriages, the same as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Secret Service. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't expect General Ji to still not give up on the idea, but he wouldn't say anything about General Ji in front of Bai Yueran.
Gu Nianzhi didn't expect to hear about this with her head down, and her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was pounding so hard that her chest was vibrating.
How could this be?
She suddenly remembered Miao Yunxiao talking about "matchmaking" and "future cousin-in-law" at school …
Could Miao Yunxiao's cousin be Xu Piaohong?
When she returned to school, she had to find a chance to find out who Miao Yunxiao's cousin was.
Who was so powerful that they were favored by the Special Ops and insisted on matchmaking Huo Shao …
"Director Bai, it's the weekend and we can't talk about business." Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi and saw that she had her head down so he couldn't see her expression. He could only see the top of her dark head and the clear hairpin. He raised the coffee cup beside him and said to Bai Yueran, "The coffee here is good. It's not instant made and is hand-ground. Would you like to try it, Director Bai?"
"I don't drink coffee, only tea." Bai Yueran saw that Huo Shaoheng didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't pursue the topic. However, she still smiled and said, "Huo Shao, I know it's the weekend, and we're talking about your marriage. It's not official business, so it's not against the rules, right?"
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Thank you for your concern, Director Bai. I appreciate your kindness."
Bai Yueran nodded. "I just wanted to remind you that Xu Piaohong's family background has been investigated by the Legal Department. If she really wants to join us, she will have to go through the proper procedures. Furthermore, you are the head of the Special Forces. You can decide whether she can join us or not, but you have to consider the people behind her. Huo Shao, you're a smart person, so you don't need me to come up with ideas. I'm just informing you. "
Bai Yueran finished speaking and left, leaving behind a confident and resolute silhouette.
Her gaze followed Bai Yueran's back for a while before shifting to Huo Shaoheng's face.
Huo Shaoheng sipped his coffee calmly and took out his phone to check his email to see if there was anything new.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him for a while without saying anything. Huo Shaoheng didn't explain either. He waved for the waiter to come over and handed her a card. "Check."
The waiter hurried back to the checkout counter with his card on the tray.
Seeing that Huo Shaoheng had no intention of explaining himself, Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to speak up.
She crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat. She stared at Huo Shaoheng and tried to speak in a calm voice. "Huo Shao, what did Bai Yueran mean just now? Aren't you going to explain?"
Although she wanted to act like she didn't care, her little face was tense and her voice was shakier than usual. It was obvious that she was unhappy.
Huo Shaoheng looked up at her and put his palms together on the dining table. He said calmly, "This is related to my work."
He didn't need to explain.
Gu Nianzhi's raised heart felt like it was being squeezed by someone's hand. Blood gushed out of her heart, and even her throat tasted sweet and fishy.
She was disappointed in his answer as much as she cared about him.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and continued to maintain her stiff posture. She refused to give up and asked, "But Bai Yueran said it wasn't about work, but about your marriage. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" She paused, then emphasized, "Am I not your girlfriend? Shouldn't I care about this? "
Huo Shaoheng frowned. "Why do you care so much about what other people say? You don't believe what I said? "
"Say it! I'll listen as long as you say it. " Gu Nianzhi almost cried. Her delicate nose was slightly red. "But you didn't have any intention of saying anything."
"I told you before that when you're with me, there are many things you can't know. There's also no need to know." Huo Shaoheng said patiently. "Ok, stop fooling around. I'll take you back to school."
He stood up as he spoke and waited for Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at him for a while. She bit her lower lip and slowly stood up.
"Let's go." Huo Shaoheng turned and walked leisurely to the entrance of the restaurant.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know how she left the restaurant or how she got into the car. When the car stopped, she found that she was already in the underground parking lot of her apartment.
Huo Shaoheng turned off the engine and took out the car keys. He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. "Still angry?"
Gu Nianzhi bit her lip and turned her head to look out the window. Her heart was like a tangled mess of seaweed.
It was only when it came to matters related to Huo Shaoheng that her rationality and logic were thrown out the window. She spoke and acted like the brainless people she hated the most.
She despised herself for being like this, but she couldn't control herself.
Huo Shaoheng sighed and reached out to touch her head. "Didn't you already know who Xu Piaohong was? Didn't you know how I felt about her? Why did you have to throw such a big tantrum? "
Gu Nianzhi finally waited for Huo Shaoheng's gentle words of comfort. The tears she had been holding back for a long time fell instantly.
She wiped her face with the back of her hand and pushed Huo Shaoheng's hand away. She continued to look out the window and said sullenly, "But she's going to be transferred to your side now. The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. Who knows if you guys will develop feelings over time?"
Huo Shaoheng shook his head speechlessly. He turned her around by the shoulder and looked at her tear-stained face. He was stunned. He leaned over and hugged her. "You're thinking too much. Our Special Forces isn't a place where just anyone can get in. "
"You're saying that she definitely won't get in?" Gu Nianzhi looked up and stared into Huo Shaoheng's deep eyes. "You promise?"
"Whether she gets in or not is a matter of work." Huo Shaoheng lifted Gu Nianzhi's chin with one hand and took a tissue from the box in the car to wipe the tears off her face. "Stop it."
Gu Nianzhi held his hand and said pitifully, "I didn't want to argue with you, but you can't just not say anything …"
"Is it that important?" Huo Shaoheng was puzzled. "I didn't tell you about the past, and you didn't argue with me."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. After a while, she said sullenly, "The past is the past. We weren't like this before. What right do I have to argue?"
The most she could do was hide her unhappiness in her heart and not let Huo Shaoheng know …
Huo Shaoheng understood and smiled. "You have the right to argue now? What should I do? There will be a lot of things I won't tell you in the future. "
Gu Nianzhi silently looked down and thought about it with her fingers for a while. Her emotions calmed down and her rationality gradually returned. She said, "I definitely won't ask about your work, but I have the right to know about things related to our relationship."
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a while and nodded. "Okay. As long as it doesn't conflict with my work, I'll tell you. But … "He looked down at Gu Nianzhi." No matter what it is, you can only believe it if it's from my own mouth. You can't take other people's words to heart. "
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi was happy. "You'll really tell me? Of course I won't ask about your work. I only want to know about things related to our relationship. "
She looked at Huo Shaoheng's chest and placed her hand over his heart. She could feel his vigorous heartbeat and his warm embrace. She suddenly wanted to snuggle up to him.
But she had pushed Huo Shaoheng away in a fit of pique. If she leaned in now, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Gu Nianzhi's hesitant expression was like an open painting in Huo Shaoheng's eyes. All her thoughts were written on her face.
Huo Shaoheng slowly raised his hand and touched the side of her face. He took the initiative to pull her into his arms.
Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity to snuggle up to him. She clutched his shirt tightly and sighed contentedly. "I don't like that Xu Piaohong. Huo Shao, have you thought about how you're going to tell General Ji?"
