Chapter 762: 762

Huo Shaoheng hung up and didn’t bother Gu Nianzhi again . He was also very busy with work, so he had to make time every time he contacted her . However, Gu Nianzhi was always studying or sleeping, so she didn’t take his calls often . Before he knew it, two weeks had passed, and he hadn’t even seen her once . Huo Shaoheng turned off the computer and wanted to check on the day’s work schedule, but he found himself distracted . His eyes kept instinctively drifting over to his phone, but finally, he held himself back . However, staying up was still a bad habit, and he was going to see her at the Prime Minister’s official residence tonight anyway, so he would remind her then .

Gu Nianzhi slept very well during the day because she had stayed up all night . By noon, He Zhichu had called her, and then Ma Qiqi also called when Gu Nianzhi didn’t pick up . Ma Qiqi told him that Gu Nianzhi had stayed up all night and only went to bed in the morning . After setting down the phone, He Zhichu immediately drove out to a nearby restaurant to order take out and deliver it to their dorm . When he arrived at Gu Nianzhi’s dorm building, it was already past 4pm . He Zhichu called Gu Nianzhi once again, and this time, she picked up . Her voice still sounded groggy from just waking up as she sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes . “Professor He, what is it?”

He Zhichu replied dryly, “I have some soup for you . Do you want to come downstairs to get it?”

“Soup?!” Gu Nianzhi immediately felt hungry because she had slept all day and hadn’t eaten anything at all . “I’ll come down right now . Thank you, Professor He!” Gu Nianzhi happily dressed to go downstairs and saw He Zhichu wearing a plain-colored suit with a light blue tie . He stood handsomely in front of the dorm building, and many girls snuck glances at him . However, he didn’t appear irritated at all . Gu Nianzhi walked out with a smile and waved to him . “Thank you, Professor He!”

He Zhichu passed an insulated lunch box with hot food and soup to her . “Eat it while it’s hot . ” He then asked, “There’s a birthday party at the Prime Minister’s official residence tonight . Do you want to go?” He asked casually, like he could take her there at any time if Gu Nianzhi wanted to go .

Gu Nianzhi quickly asked, “You got an invitation, too?”

“Yeah, Gu Yanran gave me one . ” He Zhichu heard her say, “too,” so he asked, “Could you have gotten an invitation as well?”

“Yeah, Gu Yanran also gave me one . She even personally came to do it so I could see her gloat . ” Gu Nianzhi was a bit helpless . “That arrogance is hard to imagine . ”

He Zhichu smiled . “People like that are short sighted . It’s fine if you don’t want to consider her your sister . ”

“Huh? That won’t do . ” Gu Nianzhi shook her head and said seriously, “It’s not about whether I consider her my sister or not . Since we are both daughters of the Gu family, I won’t abandon my identity, even if I dislike her . Like you said, I am Gu Xiangwen’s daughter from a legal perspective . What’s wrong with that? Why do I need to avoid her like the plague? Does she even deserve that?”

“That’s good . ” He Zhichu patted her head . “So do you want to go to the Prime Minister’s official residence tonight?”

“I’ll go . Why shouldn’t I? She’s trying so hard to make me go, so wouldn’t I be wasting her carefully planned hard work if I don’t?” Gu Nianzhi saw that all the people she knew seemed to have been invited, so she understood what Gu Yanran was plotting . However, she wasn’t scared of Gu Yanran at all . She didn’t want to deal with her before only because she didn’t want the hassle . But if Gu Yanran insisted on giving her trouble, then Gu Nianzhi wasn’t going to back off . It was always the same thing . She would never start drama but was certainly not afraid of it . If someone was going to mess with her, she would be sure to make the other person walk the other way if they ever saw her again . They wouldn’t dare to mess with her again .

He Zhichu nodded . “Don’t be scared . I’ll be going tonight, too . ” He would keep an eye on Gu Yanran and wouldn’t forgive her if he were to find out that she had anything to do with those dirty tricks .

Gu Nianzhi took the lunch box back to the dorm and happened to see Ma Qiqi walking out of her room . “Wow! What smells so good?” Ma Qiqi couldn’t budge as soon as she saw good food . Gu Nianzhi opened the lunch box and saw a large bowl of lotus root braised spareribs, as well as a small container of sea cucumber millet porridge, a box of sea cucumber steamed eggs, and a bowl of chicken and sea cucumber . “This is a sea cucumber feast!” Ma Qiq’s eyes glittered as she giggled . “Professor He prepared this for you? He must’ve known you stayed up too late last night, so all these sea cucumber dishes are for nourishment . It’s especially good for people who stay up a lot . ”

“Here, come eat with me . ” Gu Nianzhi brought out tableware and also served Ma Qiqi a bowl of soup . The two girls began to eat the food He Zhichu bought . It went without saying that He Zhichu knew Gu Nianzhi very well, so he bought enough food for two people to share . He already knew Gu Nianzhi would eat with Ma Qiqi . There wasn’t actually that much food, and it tasted especially delicious and fresh since the sea cucumber was perfectly cooked without turning rubbery . It melted in their mouths but wasn’t too soft to not be chewy at all . Also, they could tell the food had only been lightly salted and didn’t have any seasoning like chicken or mushroom extracts, so these were all natural flavors from the food itself . After completely finishing the food, Ma Qiqi laid on the couch and rubbed her stomach . “I think I’m stuffed . Why do we still need to go to some birthday party? There’s no way I can eat anymore…”

Gu Nianzhi snickered as she pointed at Ma Qiqi . “Silly, you’re overthinking it . You think there will be a proper dinner at the birthday party? It’ll be all drinks, fruit, and some buffet food . It’s never any good, and guests don’t go for the food, anyway . It’s for social exchange, get it?”

“Nope . ” Ma Qiqi shook her head honestly . “I said I don’t want to go…”

“Then we won’t go . ” Gu Nianzhi said deliberately, “We’ll just be wallflowers if we go, anyway . I don’t know many people there . ”

Ma Qiqi thought about it and mused, “Then let’s go anyway . I’ve never been to an event like that, so I can brag about it for a year if I just go one time . ”

Gu Nianzhi got a stomach cramp from laughing and laid on the floor for a while before going back to her room to shower and change . When it was past 7pm, the sky was already dark, and the streetlights outside the dorm began to light up one by one to overpower the sunset’s glow . Gu Nianzhi wore a pantsuit and a lavender wool top with puffy sleeves . There was a mid-century, multi-layered scarf detail and loose collar, but the top slimmed down at her waist to accentuate her bust and taper her waist . Her long, straight legs were clad in a pair of gray, skinny wool trousers . The leg was completely straight, and she appeared especially professional when she tucked them into the mid-height boots reaching her calf . She didn’t really wear makeup and only swiped on a pearly pink lipstick to instantly brighten her face .

Ma Qiqi wore the newest Chanel Fall-Winter skirt suit in sky blue, and the skirt revealed just the top of her knee to show off her long legs . She wore Manolo Blahnik high heels in a matching color and paired it with a knee length coat . It was already late October, so the Imperial Capital was very cold at night . Yin Shixiong and Huo Shaoheng drove to Gu Nianzhi’s dorm to see Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi already waiting by the door . Yin Shixiong waved happily to get them to come over . However, Ma Qiqi was the only one to run to the car while Gu Nianzhi went to another car .

Huo Shaoheng sat in the back, and his eyes were dark as he looked at the car ahead . He recognized the plate as He Zhichu’s car . “Your Professor He is going to the Prime Minister’s official residence for the birthday party, too?” Huo Saoheng asked Ma Qiqi calmly .

“Yes, Professor He also brought us dinner tonight . It was all sea cucumber and was so delicious!”
