Putting down the phone, He Zhichu sat in front of the window with a glass of red wine and looked out at the endless night sky. He was unexpectedly relaxed.
Finally, the day he had been waiting for had arrived.
He didn't need to take out his preparations anymore.
Subduing the enemy without a fight was the best strategy.
He raised his glass to the night sky. "Happy birthday to you, my princess."
…
Gu Nianzhi fell asleep after hanging up.
She didn't sleep very well. She didn't dream, but she didn't feel very comfortable either. Her heart was hanging in midair, and she felt unreal, as if she couldn't reach the sky or the ground.
When she woke up in the middle of the night thirsty, she suddenly remembered that Huo Shaoheng said he would break up with her if she agreed to one condition. So why did she agree?
She was the one who suggested breaking up. It didn't really matter if Huo Shaoheng agreed or not.
She only agreed to his request because she wanted to end things peacefully and put an end to his years of careful parenting.
Love was gone, but respect was still there.
Huo Shaoheng was a good man worthy of respect. Having him in the Hua Xia Empire was a blessing to the country and its people.
Gu Nianzhi rolled over and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already past eight in the morning on Sunday.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes and slowly got out of bed. She put on her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower before completely waking up.
She opened the closet for a long time and picked out a red high-collared cashmere dress with loose sleeves. It matched it with her favorite Stuart-Weitzman boots.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders. She didn't have any makeup on, but her skin was clear and fair with a hint of pink under it. Her eyes were bright and clear and looked around freely.
She would definitely leave the best impression on each other like this.
She hurriedly put on some moisturizer when her phone rang.
"The rain is falling, the grass is deep in the old hometown. I heard that you've always been alone …"
This was Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
Gu Nianzhi took the phone and swiped it open. She heard Huo Shaoheng's deep and rich voice coming from the phone. "Nianzhi, I'm downstairs."
"I'll be right down." Gu Nianzhi quickly put on the Hermes Verrou bag she bought in Germany and pushed the door open.
Ma Qiqi was eating breakfast in the living room when she saw Gu Nianzhi come out in red. She quickly covered her eyes and pretended to scream, "My eyes! My-eyes！”
Gu Nianzhi kicked her lightly with a smile and hurried out the door.
When she arrived downstairs, she saw Huo Shaoheng standing ramrod straight next to his silver-gray Bentley SUV. He wasn't wearing a general's uniform, but a proper military uniform.
The stars on her shoulders almost blinded Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi blinked and thought to herself, Huo Shaoheng actually had the same thoughts as her …
Both of them wanted to give this relationship a perfect ending.
As expected of the Huo Shao she knew. This clean and neat was more like him.
Gu Nianzhi walked over with a smile and said, "You look good in the military uniform."
Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows and didn't try to hide his awe. "You look great in a red dress too." He opened the car door like a gentleman and let Gu Nianzhi inside.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the passenger seat.
This time, she realized that there was no one else here.
It seemed like he was really going to break up with her. Chen Lie wasn't there, and neither were Brother Xiong and Brother Ze.
The anxiety in Gu Nianzhi's heart disappeared.
If she had known that Chen Lie was in the car yesterday, she wouldn't have said such heartless words.
She had to save Huo Shaoheng some face in front of others, right?
But later, she thought it through. They were going to break up anyway, so it didn't matter if she saved face or not.
Huo Shaoheng got in the car and drove her out of the school.
"Where are we going?" Gu Nianzhi looked in the direction of the car. It seemed to be the road to the Special Operations Forces headquarters?
She was a bit uneasy.
"To the headquarters." Huo Shaoheng glanced at her. "It's not like you haven't been there before. Even if you want to break up with me, you won't be completely cut off from us, right? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Actually, she really didn't want to have any personal contact other than necessary work contact.
Today would be her last day at the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
To be honest, she still had feelings for that place and the agents there.
They had protected her for seven years and were still protecting her now.
Suddenly, she thought of the two field agents who had died in Germany because of her and felt bad again.
Gu Nianzhi averted her gaze and looked at the other side of the car. She did not speak again.
Huo Shaoheng also didn't say anything else. The two of them drove in silence until they arrived at the office of the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
Gu Nianzhi secretly sighed in relief that they didn't stop at the entrance of Huo Shaoheng's official residence.
Huo Shaoheng opened the door and let her out.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at the ten-story building. "Why did you bring me here?"
The two of them stood in the empty space in front of the office building of the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
There were fiery red maple trees all around, and white clouds floated in the blue sky above. Occasionally, a few pigeons flew across the sky, their whistles echoing in their ears.
Huo Shaoheng took her to the small conference room next to his office. He looked at her and asked for the last time, "Nianzhi, do you really want to break up with me?"
Gu Nianzhi looked up at his handsome face and nodded quietly.
She had already said it many times and didn't want to say it again.
Huo Shaoheng stood in front of her and stared at her. Finally, he said, "I said yesterday that I would agree to break up if you agree to one condition."
Gu Nianzhi nodded again and said softly, "As long as it doesn't violate the law and morality, I will agree to it."
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and picked up a file from the long conference table beside him. It was stamped "confidential" in red.
"Okay, we can break up, as long as you agree to give me another chance." Huo Shaoheng placed the file in front of Gu Nianzhi.
"What did you say?!" Gu Nianzhi couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Huo Shaoheng in a daze. Her mind was a mess, and her intuition told her that Huo Shaoheng wasn't playing by the rules.
"I said, we can break up, as long as you agree to give me another chance." Huo Shaoheng said slowly. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes were a bit nervous.
"But we've already broken up. Why should I give you another chance?" Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists. "Huo Shaoheng, you're not the only one who knows how to play word games."
"This isn't a game of words." Huo Shaoheng stood in front of her. The strong suppression of his height made Gu Nianzhi feel suffocated. He looked down at her. "If we break up, it means that everything in the past is over, and it also represents a new beginning. Can't we be together again after breaking up? You won't accept my pursuit? "
Gu Nianzhi instinctively took a step back. Her eyes widened. "You're going to pursue me?!"
It was like hearing the most ridiculous thing in the world. It was unbelievable.
For some reason, Huo Shaoheng's heart ached slightly when he saw Gu Nianzhi's reaction.
He controlled his emotions and continued to say calmly, "Yes, I'm going to pursue you. As long as you agree to give me another chance, I'll agree to break up. "
Gu Nianzhi spent a lot of effort to calm herself down.
Huo Shaoheng actually said he wanted to pursue her. If she had heard this before going to Germany, how happy would she have been …
Gu Nianzhi covered her chest with her hand and looked at Huo Shaoheng for a long time before shaking her head. "No."
"That's not fair. You can seduce me, but you won't allow me to pursue you. " Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and took a step forward to get closer to Gu Nianzhi. "How can there be such a thing in the world? Since you won't agree to my conditions, then we won't break up. "
"Of course we have to break up!" Gu Nianzhi stomped her feet and pointed at Huo Shaoheng as a warning. "Don't come any closer!"
Huo Shaoheng didn't stop walking. He took another step forward. "Then tell me, do you agree or not?"
Gu Nianzhi stared at Huo Shaoheng blankly. Her full, curvy lips opened and closed. After a while, she composed herself and reasoned with Huo Shaoheng. "Mr. Huo, I'm very happy to hear you say that. However, the problem between us isn't that simple. It can't be solved just by you pursuing me."
"So your solution is to break up once and for all?" Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes. "That doesn't seem like a very smart solution."
"But it's the only solution I can think of." Gu Nianzhi was very determined.
She wasn't good enough for him, so she was ashamed of her inferiority and chose to leave.
"What if I have a better solution?" Huo Shaoheng extended his right hand in Gu Nianzhi's direction. "Come, let's go back to our original topic. You agree to my conditions, and I agree to break up. How about that? Deal? "
Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng suspiciously. What was he trying to do?
"You don't agree? Fine, we won't break up. "Huo Shaoheng took another step forward and already had Gu Nianzhi trapped between the wall and his embrace.
Gu Nianzhi quickly pushed him. "Mr. Huo, this is your office building! You don't want me to scream something bad, do you?! "
"Scream all you want. I don't care what you scream, unless you agree to my conditions. " Huo Shaoheng watched with interest as she struggled, struggled, hesitated, and hesitated. He also watched as she gradually became determined and brave.
"Fine, I agree. You can pursue me, but I don't have to accept your pursuit." Gu Nianzhi raised her head and looked at Huo Shaoheng, unwilling to be outdone.
"But you promised to give me a chance. If you don't accept my pursuit, how is that considered giving me a chance? "Huo Shaoheng's words were watertight, and his logic seemed to be self-contained.
Gu Nianzhi also realized for the first time that Huo Shaoheng was so eloquent!
She looked at Huo Shaoheng, tongue-tied. Her brain had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
If she wanted to defeat Huo Shaoheng's argument, she had to find the loopholes in his logic. However, his logic was as perfect as a circle drawn with a compass. She couldn't seem to find any loopholes.
If she had to refute, it seemed like the only way was to go back on her word.
But if she went back on her word, Huo Shaoheng also said he wouldn't break up.
What was she going to do?!
Just as she was at the end of her rope, Huo Shaoheng opened the folder stamped "Confidential." He took out two documents and two little red booklets and opened them in front of her.
"Nianzhi, give me another chance. This time, we won't be dating. We'll get married directly. I've already prepared the marriage certificate. This is a marriage application that has already been approved. This is the marriage registration form that I've already signed. As long as you sign it, we'll be officially husband and wife. " Huo Shaoheng took out a pen and stuffed it into the hands of Gu Nianzhi, who was already at a loss and pale. "Don't panic. There's also a divorce application here. I've already signed it. Give me three years. After three years, if you still feel that we can't be together, you can sign this divorce application and our marriage will be dissolved immediately. "
Gu Nianzhi was bombarded by Huo Shaoheng again and again. Her smart brain had already stopped working.
She didn't understand. She was clearly here to talk about breaking up with him. How did it suddenly jump from breaking up to marriage?!
