Huo Shaoheng's expression gradually darkened.
He bent down to pick up the car key from Gu Nianzhi's bed and looked at it. "… This is a Valentine's Day gift for you. It's fine if you return the other things to me, but you're returning this too. Do you think I'm the kind of b * tch who would take back all the gifts after breaking up with my girlfriend? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She suddenly blushed.
Indeed, this gift was different from the others.
This was the first and last Valentine's Day gift Huo Shaoheng had given her after they confirmed their relationship …
Gu Nianzhi bit her lower lip and spread her hands at Huo Shaoheng. "It's my fault. Give me the car key."
Huo Shaoheng looked at her and placed the car key in her soft, fair palm. His large hand wrapped around her hand and clasped it tightly before letting go.
She wanted to say something but couldn't find the words, so she simply stopped talking.
He stood to the side and watched coldly as Gu Nianzhi packed her daily necessities, clothes, and shoes into the LV suitcase. There were four suitcases in total, and the entire suitcase was filled.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the remaining clothes in the closet and closed the closet door. "I'll leave these here for now. I'll come and move when I'm done with the house."
She then looked at Huo Shaoheng. "Mr. Huo, can you keep this room for a few days? When I'm done with the house and move my things, can I let someone else live in it?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "This is your room. If you don't live in it, it'll be empty."
"You don't have to do that. Isn't it a waste to leave such a large room empty?" Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "Really …"
"That's fine. When your things are moved out, I'll move in." Huo Shaoheng only wanted to shut Gu Nianzhi up.
To others, her words might not sound like a normal breakup between a boyfriend and a girlfriend, but to Huo Shaoheng, it was exceptionally heart-wrenching.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him and hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?" Huo Shaoheng sat down.
Gu Nianzhi raised her chin towards the bathroom. "Mr. Huo, if you're moving in, the bathroom will have to be renovated."
"What's wrong? Is the bathroom broken? "Huo Shaoheng got up to go to the bathroom.
Gu Nianzhi said quietly behind him, "… Can Major General Huo really use the pink bathroom?"
Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks. He did not continue to walk towards the bathroom. He turned around and looked at Gu Nianzhi helplessly. After a while, he said, "It's okay. If you can use it, I can use it."
She looked down at the large and small boxes on the ground and said, "Mr. Huo, can I ask Brother Xiong or Brother Ze to take me back to school?"
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were Huo Shaoheng's personal secretaries, so of course she had to get Huo Shaoheng's permission before asking for their help.
Huo Shaoheng walked to Gu Nianzhi's side and bent down to help her lift the largest box. "Big Xiong and Little Ze just got promoted, so they should be celebrating with their colleagues now. They're very busy and don't have time. I'll take you back to school. "
Gu Nianzhi stopped Huo Shaoheng and smiled. "How can I do that? Mr. Huo has a high status and is very busy. I don't have the face to ask you to be my driver. — — I'd better give Brother Xiong a call. No matter what, I have to congratulate him on his promotion first. "
Seeing Gu Nianzhi look for the landline, Huo Shaoheng realized she must have left her phone in the Alps. He took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked it to pass to her. "Use mine."
Gu Nianzhi thought Huo Shaoheng did not want her to use their landline, so she took the phone and said, "Thank you."
She looked down to open Huo Shaoheng's contact book and entered Yin Shixiong's number.
The phone had just rung when Yin Shixiong picked up and said with a smile, "Huo Shao? Do you want to join us?! "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Brother Xiong, congratulations on your promotion!"
Yin Shixiong finally realized it was not Huo Shaoheng calling him, but Gu Nianzhi using Huo Shaoheng's phone. He smiled even more happily and said loudly, "Nianzhi! Come and have fun with Huo Shao! There are a lot of people here, and you know them all. Little Ze, and a few colleagues who used to work for you! We have barbecue, a seafood buffet, and karaoke! "
Gu Nianzhi heard the commotion on the other end and realized there were indeed a lot of people. She smiled widely and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiong, but it's okay. I just wanted to congratulate you. And Brother Ze, help me get it!"
Yin Shixiong was high from the alcohol and snapped his fingers. "No problem!"
Gu Nianzhi hung up and thought about it before asking Huo Shaoheng, "Mr. Huo, can I use your phone to make another call?"
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand. "Go ahead."
Gu Nianzhi recalled He Zhichu's phone number and the B University professor's building's landline number. She was debating which one to call when Huo Shaoheng's phone suddenly rang. Gu Nianzhi instinctively thought it was Yin Shixiong calling again, so she answered.
The operator's voice came from the phone. "Huo Shao, Prime Minister Tan Dongbang's office is calling. Do you want to take it?"
Gu Nianzhi's smile faded as she handed the phone back to Huo Shaoheng without saying anything.
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
He took the phone and originally wanted to use his Bluetooth headset to take the call, but he saw Gu Nianzhi turn around to take her suitcase. He put it down and pressed the speaker button to say to the operator, "Put it through."
An extremely gentle voice quickly came from the phone. "Is this Huo Shao? I'm Tan Guiren. "
Huo Shaoheng heard Tan Guiren's voice and quickly glanced at Gu Nianzhi. He saw that she was still packing her suitcase with her back to him and didn't seem to be out of the ordinary.
He frowned and grunted at the phone. "Hello, Miss Tan. May I ask what I can help you with?"
Tan Guiren blushed when she heard Huo Shaoheng's voice. Mustering her courage, she asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Mr. Huo, my father's inauguration is in five days. I would like to invite Mr. Huo to attend the ceremony. Are you free?"
Gu Nianzhi had her back to Huo Shaoheng, so she heard everything clearly.
Although she was mentally prepared and knew that Huo Shaoheng didn't have any personal feelings for Tan Guiren, she was still a bit dazed when she heard her slightly nervous and shy invitation.
Was it another girl who was charmed by Huo Shaoheng's charm?
Gu Nianzhi recalled the video she saw. It seemed to be a beautiful woman with a very good temperament. She was about the same age as Huo Shaoheng and had a compatible family background. In the eyes of outsiders, she would definitely be more suitable than Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and felt very uncomfortable. However, that kind of discomfort wasn't the discomfort of the man she loved liking someone else, but the discomfort of being looked down upon, looked down upon, and ignored.
Everyone said she wasn't good enough for Huo Shaoheng. She really didn't have the strength to fight against the cold eyes of the world.
Gu Nianzhi packed her suitcases one by one and locked them with a combination lock. She planned to call He Zhichu's phone first. If she couldn't get through, she would call his landline at the B University professor's building.
She didn't know what He Zhichu had been doing for the past two days. He hadn't contacted her, and she was locked in the hospital room by Chen Lie. She had almost no contact with the outside world.
Meanwhile, Huo Shaoheng politely declined Tan Guiren's invitation on the phone. "Miss Tan, I've been overseas for a few months and have accumulated a lot of unfinished work. I won't be free for the next few months. Please pass my thanks to Prime Minister Tan on my behalf and congratulate him on being elected as the new Prime Minister."
Tan Guiren was very disappointed. Biting her lower lip, she hesitated for a while before asking, "Huo Shao, you attending my father's inauguration is also part of your job, right?"
After all, Huo Shaoheng was also a general in the military and a member of the government.
When Tan Dongbang was inaugurated as the new Prime Minister, senior officials from the government, the military, and the Senate would all attend. Those who couldn't attend either weren't invited or were too sick to get out of bed.
Tan Guiren really didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to reject her outright and couldn't help trying to persuade him in a low voice.
Once Huo Shaoheng had made up his mind, no one could persuade him otherwise.
He smiled perfunctorily and said, "Miss Tan, may I ask if you are a government employee in the Cabinet? Or are you Prime Minister Tan's personal assistant? "
Tan Guiren was taken aback and shook her head. "Neither. I just came back from abroad, and my body is still a little weak. My mommy said that I need to take care of myself …"
Before she could finish, Huo Shaoheng already said politely, "In that case, you have no right to invite me to attend the Prime Minister's inauguration. Alright, I'm very busy right now. If there's anything, ask Prime Minister Tan's office to call my secretary. "He hung up after speaking.
Tan Guiren's face burned from Huo Shaoheng's words. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she almost couldn't hold it in anymore.
Her mother, Cai Songyin, came in from outside and knocked on the door. She asked with a smile, "How did it go? Did Huo Shao agree? "
Tan Guiren said shamefully, "I was too rash. Huo Shao is a senior military general, and I'm nothing. I called to invite him, but of course he wouldn't come."
"He wouldn't come?! That's impossible, right? "Cai Songyin was very confused." Are you sure you're not mistaken? No matter who invited him, this is your father's inauguration. How could he refuse? Also, you're your father's only daughter, so you'll have to stand with your father when the time comes. How could he give up this opportunity to show his face?! "
Tan Guiren's heart was in a mess and she was very embarrassed. She quickly said, "Mommy, I have no other choice. I'll go back first …"
Tan Guiren hurried back to her home and closed the door.
…
Gu Nianzhi saw that Huo Shaoheng had finished his call, so she turned around and said, "Mr. Huo was invited to attend the inauguration. Why didn't you go? This is really part of your job, right? "
Huo Shaoheng weighed the largest suitcase in his hands and said, "No, my job doesn't include attending the Prime Minister's inauguration."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "But what if she sprains her ankle during the inauguration? If you're not there, who's going to help her? "
