"Is it really where I lived when I was young?" Gu Nianzhi furrowed her brows in confusion. She glanced at Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze, and saw that they were staring at her and Huo Shaoheng with wide eyes. She couldn't help but feel shy, but also happy.
Huo Shaoheng was becoming more and more intimate with her in front of others. Wasn't she getting closer and closer to being together?
Gu Nianzhi's smile grew. She rested her chin on her hands and tilted her head to look at Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, I don't remember anything …"
"You didn't remember anything." Yin Shixiong laughed at her. "It's not surprising that you don't remember an island."
Gu Nianzhi didn't refute at all. She nodded solemnly. "That's true. So what does this island mean to me? Why should I go see it? "
Although she had just rebuked Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong and expressed that she would pursue their "spreading rumors," she was still affected.
When she thought about how Huo Shaoheng and Gu Yanran were in the same boat and had even spent a night on a small island, she was still a little unhappy even though she trusted Huo Shaoheng. Therefore, she subconsciously felt conflicted about that "island."
"Maybe seeing a familiar scene will help you regain your memory?" Huo Shaoheng leaned back and patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder with his arm on the back of the chair. "Don't mess around. Come with me to the Gu's island tomorrow. It's also your home. "
"Fine." Gu Nianzhi pouted. "What about Gu Xiangwen? Aren't we going to see him? "
"That's your father." Huo Shaoheng corrected her. "You can't call him by name like that."
Gu Nianzhi looked down. Her bright eyes darted around, but she didn't let Huo Shaoheng see it.
A father should be a daughter's greatest support, but in Gu Nianzhi's memory, Gu Xiangwen was always absent. Therefore, it was difficult for her to admire him.
However, she still needed to show him respect.
"Fine." Gu Nianzhi adjusted her emotions and looked up with a smile. "How do we get to the island? Is it far? "
"That island is not easy to find." Zhao Liangze shook his head in disagreement. "Huo Shao, are you going with Gu Yanran? Otherwise, how can we find the location of the island? "
Gu Nianzhi was confused and asked curiously, "Isn't this the Gu family's island? Why couldn't he find it? The satellite map is already connected to the phone. Don't tell me you can't find it … "
"Haha, Nianzhi, I really can't find it." Yin Shixiong slapped the table. "Little Ze, tell me!"
Zhao Liangze rolled his eyes at Yin Shixiong. He would have said it himself even if Yin Shixiong hadn't reminded him.
"Nianzhi, your father is such a great scientist. Not to mention the other blueprints and patents, he had installed a device to block wireless satellite signals on this island. This island could not be found on any map. If it wasn't for the fact that Huo Shao and Gu Yanran happened to drift near the island that day, we wouldn't have known about its existence at all. "
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi asked calmly, "If it's not on the map, and we're not locals, it will indeed be very difficult to find it. You-don't-know-what-you-don't-know。”
She expressed her thoughts in English.
"Yes, that's what I mean. You don't know what you don't know." Zhao Liangze smiled like a fox and looked at the confused Yin Shixiong proudly. "Big Xiong, people with low IQs can't understand what Nianzhi and I are talking about."
"Pfft! Pretending in front of me! Do you think I don't know what you're capable of? " Yin Shixiong snapped back to reality and snorted, unwilling to be outdone. "You should think about how to learn the shielding technology on that island!"
"This isn't something that can be learned overnight." Zhao Liangze rubbed his chin. "Luckily, Huo Shao used his phone to contact us last time, so I was able to confirm the location of the island. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to go even if we wanted to."
In the vast ocean, if one didn't have accurate latitude and longitude, they might not be able to find the island again even if they tried their luck.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng again and asked, "Huo Shao, did that island leave a deep impression on you?"
If Huo Shaoheng said it left a deep impression, then Gu Nianzhi would inevitably infer that it was because he was with Gu Yanran.
If Huo Shaoheng said it didn't leave a deep impression, then Gu Nianzhi wouldn't hesitate to say that since it didn't leave a deep impression, why would she go again?
Her memory was gone anyway, so even if she went to the island, it wouldn't be of any use.
Huo Shaoheng was well aware of Gu Nianzhi's logic. She had grown up with him, after all, and was now trying to set a trap for him.
Huo Shaoheng reached out to pat Gu Nianzhi's head. His voice was as low and melodious as a cello. "Of course it left a deep impression, because I thought of you on that island."
"Ah —! I can't take it anymore! "
"It's against the law to abuse single dogs! Don't treat single dogs as protected animals! "
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong were simultaneously blinded by the two people's silent gazes and screamed in unison.
Gu Nianzhi was mesmerized by Huo Shaoheng's smile and ignored Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong's screams.
She pulled Huo Shaoheng's hand away from her head and rubbed her cheek against his palm. She said softly, "Really? You really thought of me? "
The skin on her face was unbelievably smooth, and Huo Shaoheng's palm felt like a layer of cloud against her face. He didn't dare to use too much force. He felt that if he used too much force, her face would melt like a cloud.
He remembered when he used to fly a fighter jet high up in the sky. He had opened the cockpit's roof and reached out to touch the clouds. It felt just like this.
"Yeah. So are you going or not? "Huo Shaoheng pulled his hand back.
After all, it was too much to do in front of two personal secretaries.
Gu Nianzhi didn't stop him. She turned to look at Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong, who were covering their eyes. She smiled. "Alright! That's enough! Brother Xiong, Brother Ze, let's go play on that island together? Let's see what's so good about it that our Huo Shao can't forget it … "
She said this deliberately. When she looked at Huo Shaoheng from the corner of her eyes, the corners of her long and narrow eyes lifted slightly.
Huo Shaoheng ignored her and tapped his fingers on the table. "Big Xiong, Little Ze, prepare things today. We're going out to sea tomorrow morning."
"Aren't we going to tell Gu Yanran?" Zhao Liangze tidied up the materials in front of him and stood up. "It's her home, after all. If we don't tell her, wouldn't it be bad if she finds out?"
Since the island belonged to the Gu's, what was wrong with them entering without asking?
Gu Nianzhi coughed and said to Zhao Liangze with a straight face, "Brother Ze, have you forgotten about me? I've already been proven to be the youngest daughter of the Gu's, so I also have a share of that island. If I say you guys can go, you guys can go. You don't have to keep talking about Gu Yanran, okay? "
Gu Nianzhi was a little unhappy that both of them kept talking about Gu Yanran.
It was like an only child in a family suddenly discovering that they were going to have sisters, brothers, and brothers. There was always a psychological transition period.
Yin Shixiong immediately understood and said with a smile, "Nianzhi is right. We, Nianzhi, also have a share of that island. If we follow Nianzhi to her home as a guest, who do we need to ask? Huo Shao, what do you think? "
Huo Shaoheng wanted Gu Nianzhi to have this kind of domineering attitude and not lose to Gu Yanran in terms of aura.
He had no idea what kind of relationship these two unrelated sisters had with each other, so he hoped that Gu Nianzhi could be a little more assertive in this matter. Anyway, it was fine as long as she didn't lose out.
"Nianzhi is Gu Xiangwen's youngest daughter. She has more right to speak than we do." Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi with a half-smile. "Go back and prepare first. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong got up and walked out first.
Gu Nianzhi dawdled and stayed behind, wanting to leave with Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng packed up his materials and documents and said without looking up, "… Why aren't you leaving?"
"I'm waiting for you." Gu Nianzhi walked up to him confidently and tugged on his sleeve. "Huo Shao, what's wrong with you today? Why did you make me wash off my makeup? Don't you like it? "
She thought it was pretty good. When she looked in the mirror, she even looked fierce.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "I don't like it. Don't do it like this in the future." He paused, then said, "Don't put on makeup in the future. It's best to look like yourself."
"Really? Huo Shao, are you complimenting me on my natural beauty? " Gu Nianzhi had already grabbed his arm and rested her head on it. She said happily, "… Am I prettier than Gu Yanran?"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He looked down at Gu Nianzhi and didn't say anything. His deep eyes were dark like the dark abyss in the silent night.
Gu Nianzhi felt guilty under Huo Shaoheng's gaze. She could only let go of his arm. "Can't I just ask? Huo Shao, you've never complimented me on my beauty … "
"You still need compliments?" Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows and closed his briefcase. "You want to start a dye factory just because I gave you some color? I'm afraid that if I compliment you, I'll become blind."
"Why do you say that?" Gu Nianzhi didn't understand the logic behind it. "Why would you become blind if I compliment me?"
"… Because you're so beautiful that it blinds my eyes." Huo Shaoheng pinched her chin. "… Is this okay?"
So this was Huo Shao's way of complimenting someone's beauty …
Gu Nianzhi happily stood on her tiptoes and kissed him loudly on the cheek. "Huo Shao, I realized that the way you compliment people is quite unique. Normal people can't take it."
"You can't take it?" Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and looked down at her. His expression didn't change, but he was already quietly approaching her.
"Of course I can take it! Because I'm not normal! " Gu Nianzhi waved her little fist. Her infectious laughter echoed in the conference room, and Huo Shaoheng's mood also brightened.
The two of them walked out of the conference room. Gu Nianzhi's little face looked like it had been smeared with rouge. The corners of her eyes and the tips of her eyebrows were lightly powdered, and she was in high spirits. Everywhere she passed, everyone could only see her beauty. Unfortunately, she didn't have any makeup on.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi like this, Ye Zitan quietly said to Chen Lie, "… As expected, love is a woman's best makeup …"
Chen Lie carefully looked at Gu Nianzhi's even more beautiful face and made up his mind. He turned to Ye Zitan and puffed his cheeks. "Little Ye, you look the best without makeup. You look even better than Nianzhi."
The corners of Ye Zitan's mouth twitched. She pursed her lips and resisted the urge to throw the thick instruction manual at Chen Lie's head. She tried to remain calm and said, "Dr. Chen, it's better if you call me Dr. Ye." She turned and walked away quickly.
Gu Nianzhi was about to speak to Ye Zitan when she saw that she had already left. She quickly walked to Chen Lie's side. "Brother Chen, why did Dr. Ye leave? I still have something to tell her. "
Chen Lie's entire face was filled with bitterness. He spread his hands. "How would I know? You women are so hard to understand … "
Gu Nianzhi was deep in thought. She circled Chen Lie twice. "Oh? Brother Chen, are you really … Dr. Ye? "
She said the word "like" very vaguely because she didn't want anyone else to hear it and embarrass Ye Zitan.
"What do you mean like? What does a little girl know?! "Chen Lie shook his fist at her." Let's go. We have to work. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't pester Chen Lie anymore.
She returned to her room and made a list of things to go out to sea. Then she drove out with Yin Shixiong to do some shopping.
Huo Shaoheng was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't in a hurry. No matter how busy he was, he would definitely show up the next morning.
Sure enough, Huo Shaoheng knocked on her door to wake her up for breakfast before dawn the next day.
After breakfast, Gu Nianzhi returned to her room and put on the highest PA sunscreen. She put on the Prada floating cloud sunglasses that covered half her face, a baseball cap, an Under Armour sportswear, and the same brand of sneakers. She brought her diving equipment and took a private car with Huo Shaoheng and the others to the seaside.
It was past six in the morning. The round sun was just about to rise from the horizon in the distance.
It was like a beautiful woman with half her face hidden. Her beautiful face had already covered the earth, but she still refused to show her true face.
The seawater was a clear and pure blue. It was a huge blue crystal waiting for someone with insight to cut it and collect it.
"The view of the Caribbean Sea is so beautiful …" Gu Nianzhi expressed her feelings. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes to feel the sea breeze. "Where's Huo Shao?"
She and Yin Shixiong stood in a dock on a bay and waited for Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze. Apparently they had gone to sail.
"That's … our boat, right?" Yin Shixiong squinted his eyes and used his hands to shade his eyes as he looked out to sea.
Not long after, the quiet dock was filled with the sound of splashing water and the sound of a motor cutting through the water.
Gu Nianzhi looked into the distance and saw the direction where the sun rose. Amidst the golden light, a pure white bullet-shaped single-story yacht was cutting through the water at high speed. It seemed to be riding the wind and waves from the sun.
"That's the Millennium Ota that the consulate just bought this year. It's 30 meters long and has a total of 7,800 horsepower. It can seat 15 people and has three engines. Not only is it fast, but there are also many places to store our treasures." Yin Shixiong beamed as he patted the long boxes he brought.
Gu Nianzhi's lips twitched. She couldn't bear to look away.
Enough with these people!
Didn't they think it was romantic to go out to sea?!
Instead, they brought their long and short snipers and thought about how to find a suitable sniping position on the yacht.
Were they going out to sea to hunt?!
