Huo Shaoheng discreetly withdrew his arm and walked out of Song Jinning's bathroom to head to her office.
Song Jinning smiled as she followed him back to her office and sat down.
"Tell me, what do you need me for?" Song Jinning opened the notebook on her laptop, intending to jot down Huo Shaoheng's request on her electronic calendar. That way, she could add a reminder so she wouldn't forget.
Huo Shaoheng sat across from Song Jinning with one hand on her desk and the other playing with his phone. He said calmly, "I just submitted a marriage application."
Song Jinning gasped and couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
After a long time, she finally stood up in surprise. Placing both hands on the desk, she leaned forward and said eagerly, "Shaoheng, you're really getting married?! Who's the bride? Is it … Is it … Nianzhi?! "
After Song Jinning came to her senses, she quickly noticed the different way Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng. Of course, she also noticed Huo Shaoheng's different attitude towards Gu Nianzhi.
She was happy to see the two of them get married.
Gu Nianzhi was a genius girl, and Song Jinning had also been called a "genius girl" when she was young.
Geniuses always appreciated each other, and she liked this lively and cute girl.
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly with a faint smile on his face. His fingers gently tapped on Song Jinning's desk, and even his voice was much gentler. "You like Nianzhi too?"
"Yes, this girl and I hit it off very well!" Song Jinning beamed with joy, but after a while, she was confused again. "Submitting a marriage application is a good thing, so why did you come to see me?"
She had thought it was a difficult question …
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the delicate carvings on the side of the dark red mahogany desk. His voice was very low. "After the marriage application was submitted, my father objected during the organization's meeting."
"What? He objected? What right does your father have to object?! " Song Jinning was furious as soon as she heard this. Her pale face flushed red, and her limpid eyes were like stormy seas. She slammed the desk. "Don't worry, I'll go see your father tomorrow. If he dares to stop me from bringing my daughter-in-law into the family, I'll let him know why flowers are so red! "
Huo Shaoheng didn't expect Song Jinning to be so supportive of him and Gu Nianzhi. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, but it was fleeting. He quickly regained his composure.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Huo Shaoheng stood up and bowed slightly. "It's late. You should rest."
"Well, I won't keep you either. It's the middle of the night. Go back and sleep early." Song Jinning looked at her watch. It was already past four in the morning.
She personally walked Huo Shaoheng out. The silent corridor lit up again, and Song Jinning's face glowed in the light.
"Shaoheng, does Nianzhi know about your marriage report? As a mother-in-law, what gift should I prepare for her? Do you know what she likes? "Song Jinning asked excitedly. She couldn't wait to bring Gu Nianzhi in right away.
Huo Shaoheng froze. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked slowly. He shook his head. "She doesn't know yet." He glanced at Song Jinning. "Please don't tell anyone."
"Why?" Song Jinning looked at Huo Shaoheng in shock. "Is there something that needs to be kept a secret?"
She now knew that her son wasn't doing a normal job, so she was very careful not to cause him trouble.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head again. "That's not the reason."
"Then what reason is it? How can you be like this? You're getting married, and the girl doesn't even know! You're really taking care of everything! "Song Jinning couldn't help laughing. She was in a very good mood.
Huo Shaoheng remembered Gu Nianzhi's resistance to her new identity. He was silent for a moment. "Because the marriage application is only the first step. After it's approved, there will be a background check. I'm not sure how long the background check will take. It could be as short as six months, or as long as two or three years. "
"Oh …" Song Jinning was confused. "I don't think it was that troublesome when I married your father?"
"Yes. Different positions and military ranks mean different levels of background checks." Huo Shaoheng explained briefly.
Song Jinning instantly understood.
Simply put, Huo Guanchen's military rank wasn't high at the time, and his position was only in the middle ranks. Therefore, the time and procedures for the background check were much simpler.
Huo Shaoheng was already a general and a special confidential department in the military. The intensity and length of the background check was much higher than Huo Guanchen's at the time.
After sending Huo Shaoheng off, Song Jinning only slept for three hours. She got up to wash up and change her clothes. Before Huo Guanchen left for work, she once again went to the Huo residence.
Huo Guanchen was the only one living here now. The Zhangs had all been chased out. Huo Xuenong and Huo Jialan had gone to Europe. The empty house echoed as she walked.
Huo Guanchen left early and returned late. He rarely stayed here.
However, Song Jinning arrived early today, so Huo Guanchen hadn't left yet.
When he looked up, he saw Song Jinning walk in wearing a sky blue dress suit. Huo Guanchen's breath almost stopped.
He stared blankly at the cold and beautiful Song Jinning walking up to him. He was about to speak when he heard Song Jinning frown and ask unhappily, "Why are you against Shaoheng's marriage application? What right do you have to oppose it?! "
Huo Guanchen's passion and passion were blocked by Song Jinning's words. His expression darkened and he said in a low voice, "What did you say? How did you know about this? "
He had expressed his opposition during a regular meeting. Could someone have leaked the secret?
Huo Guanchen thought of General Ji, and the fire in his heart burned even brighter.
"Don't care how I know. I'm only asking if you oppose Shaoheng's marriage application." Song Jinning glared at him. Her beautiful face became even more vivid and beautiful.
"I oppose it." Huo Guanchen's face darkened. He raised his head and said coldly, "Do you support it?"
"Of course I support it." Song Jinning also raised her head and refused to be outdone. "Shaoheng and Nianzhi are a match made in heaven. Why are you opposing it?!"
"A match made in heaven?!" Huo Guanchen wanted to laugh out loud. "Jinning, do you know that Nianzhi grew up with Shaoheng? Shaoheng is her guardian! "
"So what? He's just a guardian. He's not a blood relative. " Song Jinning sneered disdainfully. "I've already figured it out. The military entrusted Shaoheng to take care of Nianzhi. What misunderstanding do you have about this nominal guardian relationship?"
"It's not that I have a misunderstanding. It's that other people will have a misunderstanding!" Huo Guanchen looked at the stubborn Song Jinning and felt like his blood vessels were about to burst. He also glared at Song Jinning. "Nianzhi grew up with him. When he became her guardian, she was only 12 years old! Do you know that?! Shaoheng is 10 years older than Nianzhi. What do you want other people to think?! What do they think?! Does Shaoheng want to continue his career in the future?! Have you thought about this?! "
