Chapter 1125: 1125
“…Huo Shao, Big Xiong waited so long to finally have a day off and enjoy some time with Qiqi . Isn’t it wrong of you to interrupt their date like this?”Gu Nianzi’s eyes turned into crescents when she smiled and her soft tone was very coy . She was gently expressing her refusal, yet didn’t make her point very clear .
Huo Shaoheng discovered that Gu Nianzhi’s coquettish skills had improved once again and if this continues, she would transform into a little fairy any day now…
But they are in a serious military family, so how could they allow a disharmonious creature like a “little fairy?”
He must keep her locked up at home…
Huo Shaoheng coughed while he tried hard to maintain his authority, “Nianzhi, don’t worry about unnecessary things . You don’t need to worry about Big Xiong, you should worry about yourself instead . You must be careful with your influences . You were attacked on the highway today, so why didn’t you tell me about it? Even if you didn’t tell me, shouldn’t you have called the police? Don’t you understand that you were in a lot of danger?”
Why did he have to be serious about it?
Holding the phone, Gu Nianzhi sat on the window sill and opened the curtains to see the moonlight outside the window . She giggled quietly, “…Huo Shao, are you concerned about me, or are you concerned about official business?”
Huo Shaoheng, “…”
Gu Nianzhi waited for a long time, but Huo Shaoheng didn’t give her a reply . She didn’t force him either and replied languidly, “That means you were concerned with official business . Don’t worry about it, I know what I’m doing . ”
“You know what you’re doing?” Huo Shaoheng scoffed as he turned in his chair . Like they were reading each other’s minds, he pressed the remote control by his hand to open the blinds on his office window .
The moonlight outside the window was very beautiful . On the canvas of the dark blue sky, the moon was missing a piece but still shone brilliantly . Because of the imperfection, it appeared even more shockingly beautiful .
Gu Nianzhi put on her Bluetooth headset and hugged her arms around her knees as she rested her chin on her knees . She answered confidently, “That’s right . Firstly, you were afraid that I would violate the Senate’s code of conduct if I had any private interactions with Reinitz . I wanted to tell you that I only signed and submitted the contract today, so Speaker Long hasn’t even signed it yet . The thirty days of public notice hasn’t begun either, so strictly speaking I’m not yet an official employee of the Senate . I am not subject to the Senate’s code of conduct . ”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart thumped, he secretly thought this young girl had truly grown up now…
She was becoming increasingly mature and intelligent . She was slowly entering his world and was even more familiar with the rules than him .
Huo Shaoheng didn’t know if he should feel happy or sad because of it .
Outside the window, the moonlight flowed like it was molten . In the far corner of the horizon, a shooting star streaked across the sky and beguiled one’s heart with its beauty .
Huo Shaoheng opened the window to slightly allow the chilly wind to caress his face . He gradually calmed down .
Silently looking out the window, he also wore his Bluetooth headset as he put both hands in his trouser pockets .
Under the moonlight, his features were handsome and elegant . His tenacious expression was unparalleled–akin to a black panther lurking in the dark night . His finely muscled body contained unlimited explosive power, yet his completely buttoned up military uniform sealed away all his passion and fierceness .
In the face of the enthusiasm displayed by the women he loved, he chose to act with vigilance .
“Oh really? What’s the second point?” Huo Shaoheng’s voice was deep and steady, incredibly low but raising slightly at the ending notes to elicit a wave of magnetic charm .
Gu Nianzhi’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat .
Looking away, she also pushed the window open to look at the moonlight that shone as brilliantly as Queen of the Night blossoms . Raising her head with close eyes, she bathed herself in the moonlight and giggled quietly “Secondly, although today’s attack on the highway sounded very dangerous, this is really nothing worth worrying about compared to all the things I’ve experienced already . ”
Huo Shaoheng, “…You’re being stubborn . ”
“I’m really not being stubborn . ” Gu Nianzhi reached out to cup the moonlight outside the window and played with its flow . Her mood also began to improve, “Compared to being completely helpless and alone in the Alps when I was in Germany, compared to surviving in the nick of time amidst the dangers of chaos mathematics, I really didn’t pay much attention to what happened this time . Also, I’m in my own country right now and am by Huo Shaoheng’s side . If I make a big deal by calling the police and asking for Huo Shao’s help, wouldn’t this insult all the layers of security you’ve arranged for me?”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart thudded for a second, but he still wasn’t fooled by Gu Nianzhi’s glib tongue .
He chuckled quietly, “…Oh really? So you’re saying it’s not because you were with Reinitz? So if you called the police, then the two of you would make headlines?”
Gu Nianzhi, “!!!”
Motherf*cker!
He even knew about this! If she was even a bit dumber, she would be grounded into bits by such a smart boyfriend!
Removing her hand, Gu Nianzhi revealed an even sweeter smile and her tiny lips seemed to be coated in honey, “Huo Shao, actually the most important reason is that I know that you are right by my side . That’s why I was so bold! This is all because you’ve spoiled me rotten…”
“You’re blaming me?” Huo Shaoheng sounded as if he was blaming himself, but the pride in his tone was about to explode into the heavens .
“Of course I don’t blame you . You can spoil me as much as you want, and you can say I’ve lost if I ever dare to complain at all . ” Gu Nianzhi giggled along while she teased him .

A gust of cool wind blew over, so Gu Nianzhi felt a bit cold . She quickly closed the windows before drawing the thick curtains .
When Huo Shaoheng heard the sound of Gu Nianzhi closing the curtains, he suddenly paused, “You opened the window just now?”
“Yes, I opened it . The moonlight is beautiful tonight . ” Gu Nianzhi casually remarked, but her face suddenly turned red all the way down to her neck .
Huo Shaoheng chuckled deeply, his tone so raspy she could feel it in her bones, “Right, the moonlight is beautiful tonight . ”
This statement held a special meaning for lovers .
Gu Nianzhi didn’t know if Huo Shaoheng understood the hidden meaning in this statement, but her heart pounded hard as she frantically said, “…I’m going to go now if you don’t need anything else . I have to get changed, it’s too cold . ”
Huo Shaoheng composed himself and answered, “Remember to wear enough layers, don’t get chilled at night . ” He ended the call before dialing Yin Shixiong’s number .
At that moment, Yin Shixiong just ate an extravagant meal with Ma Qiqi . They walked out of the five-star restaurant and taking advantage of the moonlight, they took a walk on the forest path to head to a movie .
They were originally walking side by side, but soon after, Ma Qiqi discovered that her hand had somehow become encased in Yin Shixiong’s broad and large palm .
She secretly smiled and discreetly splayed her palm open against Yin Shixiong’s hand . She was comparing their size difference .
Yin Shixiong noticed it when he felt the itch in his hand . This itch went deep into his heart, making it impossible for him to let go . He wanted to continue holding her hand just like this, so she would always compare the sizes of their palms against each other for the rest of their lives . He wanted her to only compare hers with his .
Endless thoughts suddenly flashed across Yin Shixiong’s mind and he could nearly envision the two of them with grey hair as they took their grandson and granddaughter for a walk under the moonlight…
But unfortunately, an annoying ringtone began to sound, dashing the peaceful quiet between the couple .
Yin Shixiong took the call gingerly and answered it, “Huo Shao, what is it?”
Huo Shaoheng asked him first, “Big Xiong, are you with Qiqi?”
“I am . ” Yin Shixiong didn’t understand why Huo Shaoheng would be asking about Ma Qiqi .

Ma Qiqi suddenly looked up and stared at Yin Shixiong quizzically .
Her brows were magnificent with very large eyes, but they appeared very different from Gu Nianzhi’s anime girl-like eyes . Ma Qiqi’s eyes were large and lively, so she appeared very energetic .
Yin Shixiong felt refreshed whenever he saw her .
He held her hand with a smile as he continued to speak with Huo Shaoheng “We just had dinner and are going to watch a movie . ”
Huo Shaoheng paused, then forced himself to say, “…Do you want to eat a second meal? Reinitz is making dinner at Nianzhi’s house . I heard that he prepared many German delicacies…”
Yin Shixiong furrowed his brows and whined, “Huo Shao, but we ate already…”
Ma Qiqi looked at him with great interest while mouthing the words, “…Is this Huo Shao?”
Yin Shixiong nodded unwillingly .
Huo Shaoheng saw that he was unable to convince Yin Shixiong, so he changed targets, “That’s fine then . ”
He hung up on Yin Shixiong and called Ma Qiqi’s phone .
Ma Qiqi was very surprised to hear her phone ring . She picked it up to see it was none other than Huo Shaoheng calling her .
She quickly accepted the call and asked, “Good evening, Huo Shao . What can I do for you?”
She was much more polite than Yin Shixiong .
Huo Shaoheng’s mood improved a bit, so he asked with a smile, “Qiqi, Nianzhi told me that you love delicious food very much . ”
“That’s right! She always says that I’m a big foodie…” Ma Qiqi laughed heartily, “So I always tell her that there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by eating a delicious meal . If there is such an unsolvable problem, then you should have two meals!”
“Well said . ” Huo Shaoheng praised her with a smile, “I heard you also appreciate beauty?”

“Of course! I’m always exchanging ideas about beautiful men with Nianzhi!” Ma Qiqi evidently didn’t understand Huo Shaoheng as well as Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shixiong did .
Yin Shixiong could tell something was wrong as soon as he heard Ma Qiqi begin to gush about “delicious food and beautiful men” with Huo Shaoheng .
“…Oh? Really?! There are German delicacies and a handsome German man?!” Ma Qiqi’s eyes widened in delight, “Is it Reinitz?! Oh my, I was even telling Nianzhi how great it would be if I could meet him in person! —Really? There is such an opportunity? I can eat dinner made by this handsome man?!”
This was a rare opportunity!
Ma Qiqi was very excited, “I’ll go, I’ll go!”
“…I heard you guys already had dinner . ” Huo Shaoheng continued to put on a regretful expression, his tone hesitant .
“That doesn’t matter, I’m not even full yet . ” Ma Qiqi explained she had a great appetite, so it wouldn’t be a problem to eat a second dinner .
“But you guys still want to go watch a movie . Would this interrupt your plans?” Huo Shaoheng continued to ask purposely, like he was personally witnessing Yin Shixiong pressing his ear against Ma Qiqi’s phone to eavesdrop on them .
Ma Qiqi shot a look at Yin Shixiong before gesturing for him to calm down . She then replied even louder, “It’s no interruption! The movie isn’t real, but I can now see a handsome man in real life . So why would I see a fake one instead?!”
Huo Shaoheng’s smile became rigid .
Yin Shixiong was alarmed and immediately grabbed the phone from Ma Qiqi . He replied to Huo Shaoheng, “Huo Shao, Qiqi speaks her mind and had no ill intentions . Don’t be mad, don’t be mad!”
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes and calmly changed the topic, “Don’t speak nonsense, I’m asking you to monitor Reinitz as official business . He and Nianzhi’s car was attacked on the highway tonight, so you should look at the cracks in his car . Take a photo and send it back to our colleagues, so they can analyze the bullet trajectory . ”
Using the bullet trajectory, they could analyze what model of firearm was used by the enemy and this would greatly reduce the scope of investigation .
