He Zhichu reached out and slowly caressed Gu Nianzhi's head. He held his breath and asked in a trembling voice, "Do you really love him? Are you sure? Someone can treat you better. Do you really want to give up on other options? "
"Professor He, I thought of other options, but once he appeared, I had no other choice." Gu Nianzhi took He Zhichu's hand off her head.
"Professor He, I really respect you. Although I don't remember our past relationship, I have a very familiar feeling about you, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, so I don't want to avoid you. But if seeing me again makes you feel uncomfortable, I can never see you again. "
He Zhichu closed his eyes. It wasn't like he hadn't expected this outcome.
He could only say that it was still a little better than the worst possible outcome.
"Are you stupid? Why would I feel uncomfortable when I see you? " He Zhichu took a deep breath and pulled Gu Nianzhi into his arms. He choked out, "Just treat me as your family. Don't avoid me."
He hugged Gu Nianzhi tightly and tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.
Gu Nianzhi struggled a little uncomfortably.
"Nianzhi, let me hug you for a while. Just treat me as your older brother. You always called me … Brother He when you were young." He Zhichu murmured. His usual cool voice sounded very depressed.
Gu Nianzhi was also very emotional when she heard the words "Brother He." "Professor He, did I really call you Brother He when I was young? Did you know my parents? "
He Zhichu didn't say anything. He just held Gu Nianzhi in his arms, his expression a mixture of sadness and joy.
It was like a priceless treasure that he had painstakingly found was suddenly going to be given to someone else.
He Zhichu was extremely unwilling, but he couldn't resist Gu Nianzhi's words: "Once he appeared, I had no other choice."
Gu Nianzhi didn't struggle anymore and didn't continue asking.
Although she was a little disappointed, she could also feel that He Zhichu's hug was so careful, gentle, and tolerant. It was like no matter what she did or said, he wouldn't say no.
She didn't know how long it took. Maybe 20 minutes? Or maybe half an hour?
Gu Nianzhi's legs were sore from standing, so she quietly said to He Zhichu, "Professor He, please don't tell anyone else that Huo Shao and I are already married, okay? Actually, I don't recognize this marriage … "
In Gu Nianzhi's heart, loving him was one thing, but getting married was another.
She would never agree to such a marriage.
As expected, He Zhichu also sneered. "Of course not. You want to marry my … Little Nianzhi so easily? How can there be such a good thing in the world?! "
Gu Nianzhi calmed down and was about to push He Zhichu away when she heard the sound of someone opening the door.
Other than her, only Huo Shaoheng had the key to her house.
Gu Nianzhi's heart tightened, and she couldn't help feeling a headache coming on.
He Zhichu seemed to understand something. He quickly let go of her and rushed out of the bedroom like the wind.
When she arrived at the living room, she saw Huo Shaoheng opening the door.
"Huo Shaoheng, you despicable man! How dare he cheat the marriage! Do you really think Nianzhi can do whatever she wants without anyone protecting her?! "
He Zhichu didn't say anything and threw a punch at Huo Shaoheng's face!
Huo Shaoheng knew He Zhichu was still there.
He Zhichu threw a punch at him, and Huo Shaoheng instinctively tilted his head to the side to avoid He Zhichu's fist. At the same time, he raised his arm to block.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly remembered that Huo Shaoheng's right arm was injured. Although it had been half a month, she didn't know if it had recovered.
"Professor He, Huo Shao's right arm is injured, you …"
Gu Nianzhi didn't even finish her sentence when she saw He Zhichu attack Huo Shaoheng's right arm even more ruthlessly!
His punches and kicks were like the wind, and he even used a roundhouse kick. His long legs greeted Huo Shaoheng's right arm without hesitation!
Gu Nianzhi couldn't bear to see it, so she covered her face and squatted down in the corner.
Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu started fighting in her living room.
She didn't know if they were good at showing off their skills, or if they were careful not to mess up Gu Nianzhi's living room.
In short, they fought for four to five minutes, and Gu Nianzhi's living room was still as clean and tidy as before.
The two of them moved around in the empty space in the living room and in between the furniture.
In the end, Huo Shaoheng felt guilty and slowed down his strength. The two of them were almost evenly matched before the winner was decided.
He Zhichu's fist landed squarely on Huo Shaoheng's back.
Huo Shaoheng staggered from the hit and crawled in front of Gu Nianzhi, who was squatting in the corner. He didn't make a sound and allowed He Zhichu to kick him a few times.
"Don't play dumb!" He Zhichu stopped and walked over to look at Huo Shaoheng coldly. He wanted to step on Huo Shaoheng. "Don't you have any shame?! With your status, do you need to force Nianzhi to marry you like this?! Do you really think you're so great just because you're a Major General and treat her like a toy?! "
Huo Shaoheng looked up at Gu Nianzhi. "You told him everything?"
Gu Nianzhi still covered her face, but she nodded almost imperceptibly.
"I won't admit it! Nianzhi won't admit it either! Stop dreaming! "He Zhichu couldn't help but kick Huo Shaoheng again." Get up and fight again! Don't think you can get sympathy by playing dead! "
Huo Shaoheng rolled over to avoid He Zhichu's fierce kick. He half-knelt in front of Gu Nianzhi and turned to look at He Zhichu. He said coldly, "He Zhichu, I'm giving you face. Don't push your luck."
"Push my luck?" He Zhichu was furious. "You used your status to force a helpless orphan girl to marry you! You didn't propose or have a wedding. How dare you talk to me about face? Did you ask for my permission to marry her?! "
"Why should I ask for your permission? Who are you to her? "Huo Shaoheng stood up and grabbed Gu Nianzhi's arm at the same time to pull her up from the corner.
"I …" He Zhichu's Adam's apple bobbed. He clenched his fists and said hoarsely, "She just acknowledged me as her brother. I'm her only family in this world. Do you need my permission?!"
"Brother?" Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes. "You're related by blood?"
He Zhichu's expression darkened. "You're the one related by blood to Nianzhi!"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Putting down her hand that was covering her face, Gu Nianzhi said with a headache, "… What's wrong with you guys? You make it sound like it's bad to be related by blood to me. I've been dreaming of finding my family … "
Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu looked at her together.
Huo Shaoheng pulled her to his side and pointed at He Zhichu. "Are you sure you acknowledged him as your brother just now? Why would you acknowledge him as your sister if you're not related by blood? "
Gu Nianzhi was also a little embarrassed. Although she relied on and respected He Zhichu like a family member, she still felt quite embarrassed when He Zhichu directly said that she had just acknowledged him as her brother.
He Zhichu hid the pain in his eyes and sneered. "Do you think I want to acknowledge you as my sister? I do want to acknowledge our fiancée relationship, but do you admit it? "
"What?"
"No!"
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi spoke at the same time.
He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi, then at Huo Shaoheng. He said coldly, "Yes, that's right. Nianzhi was my fiancée from the moment she was born. If you have a problem with it, go talk to her parents. Don't ask me."
"Do you know where her parents are?" Huo Shaoheng pressed the advantage and wanted to pry more information from He Zhichu.
He Zhichu didn't fall for it at all. "You, Major General Huo, haven't found them for so many years. How could I possibly find them? Besides, if I could find them, would I be waiting for you to pick the fruits of my labor? Nianzhi was married to me a long time ago! "
This sentence was not without reason.
With He Zhichu's obsession with Gu Nianzhi, if he could find Gu Nianzhi's parents to prove their engagement, he would probably have done it 800 years ago.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes darkened. He said calmly, "Okay, since we've talked it out today, I'll congratulate Nianzhi first. She has a brother who loves her dearly."
He Zhichu glanced at him and crossed his arms. "You admit that I'm her brother? That's fine, but if you want to marry her, you have to get my permission first. Nianzhi, do you agree or not? "
In Gu Nianzhi's heart, she had always felt that He Zhichu was easier to talk to than Huo Shaoheng, so she nodded obediently. "Professor He … I won't be at a disadvantage with Brother He watching over me."
"Did you hear that?" He Zhichu pulled Gu Nianzhi over again and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Then remember, you're only Nianzhi's pursuer now. Before you meet my requirements, you're not allowed to cheat or deceive Nianzhi."
Huo Shaoheng rubbed his temples. "Then Professor He shouldn't stay overnight at Nianzhi's house so easily. Even if you were her biological brother or father, you should still remember that a grown man avoids his mother, and a grown woman avoids her father, not to mention that you're not related to her by blood. "
Gu Nianzhi felt her head swell into two.
She was so sleepy that she just wanted to get rid of the two of them so that she could have a good sleep.
She was going to intern at the Senate tomorrow, so she couldn't be late!
Gu Nianzhi raised her hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, okay. You're both right. Now, get out. I'm going to bed. I have to go to work in the Senate tomorrow. I really don't have the energy to deal with the two gods today. "
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and recalled that Gu Nianzhi had told him on the phone that she had thought of a way to prevent Cai Songyin from suing. Could it be related to the Senate?
He wanted to ask, but when he looked at the time, it was already past one in the morning, so he didn't say anything. "Go to sleep, I'm leaving."
He looked at He Zhichu. "Professor He, let's go out together? I still have some questions to ask Professor He. "
He Zhichu was mentally and physically exhausted. He really didn't have the energy to deal with the sly Huo Shaoheng's interrogation. He picked up his coat from the sofa and said coldly, "I'm also very tired. If Huo Shao has anything to say, we can talk about it later."
Gu Nianzhi stood in the living room and watched as the two men left one after the other. She then walked over to close the door tightly and locked it.
After returning to the bedroom, she threw herself on the bed and almost immediately fell asleep.
It was like a huge problem had finally been solved, and the weight in her heart was completely lifted. Gu Nianzhi slept soundly.
A dreamless night.
She woke up on time at seven the next morning.
She was in a hurry to report to the Senate. After washing up in a hurry, she changed into her professional attire. She put on Burberry's horn-button coat and Burberry's classic mutton checkered scarf. Carrying her Hermes Berlin bag, she left the house in Hepingli.
Both the Senate and the Senate were in the core area of the Second Ring Road.
Gu Nianzhi arrived at the entrance of the Senate and said to the guard, "I'm Gu Nianzhi. Speaker Long asked me to be an intern."
"Please wait a moment." The guard contacted the inside and checked the visitor list for today.
After a while, the guard said to her, "I'm sorry, Miss Gu. We didn't find your name on the list. Did we make a mistake?"
"I don't think so …" Gu Nianzhi quickly took out her phone and called Special Assistant Yang first.
She remembered that Speaker Long had asked Special Assistant Yang to help her with the procedures.
However, Special Assistant Yang's phone couldn't be reached. It was either busy or unreachable.
Gu Nianzhi knew that the Senate would be very busy these few days, so she didn't think about going anywhere else.
Plus, she had called nearly ten times before finding Speaker Long yesterday, so she didn't care and just kept calling.
She called for 20 minutes at the door before finally getting through to Special Assistant Yang's cell phone.
As soon as he heard Gu Nianzhi's voice, he quickly said, "Miss Gu, aren't you going to be an intern for Speaker Long? Why aren't you here yet? "
"I'm here. I've been calling your cell phone at the door for almost 20 minutes. The guard said my name isn't on the list and won't let me in."
Special Assistant Yang said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry. I was busy all night yesterday and forgot to send your and Rong Mingxing's names. Wait for me, I'll come pick you up now. "
