Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243 I’m Going To Walk You Down The Red Carpe

Gu Nianzhi heard He Zhichu’s voice on her phone. She finally confirmed that he was fine and in a great mood. She immediately dialed He Zhichu’s number.

Before He Zhichu had even walked back to his room, his phone started to ring.

” … you can’t hear my voice. You’re afraid that I’ll blurt out your name. It’s like I’m going to meet you. It’s like we’ve made eye contact before. I think I’ve seen you somewhere before… ”

A long and slightly sorrowful prelude sounded. Like fate was knocking on the door, the man’s voice was low and mellow.

Chen Lie heard He Zhichu’s ringtone and couldn’t help but glance up at him.

Was this Gu Nianzhi’s ringtone?

He Zhichu swiped open his phone and closed the door behind him.

With one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding his phone, He Zhichu walked to the window and gazed at the sunlight outside. “Nianzhi, thank you for saving me.”

Gu Nianzhi laughed. “Professor He, are you feeling better? You’re too courteous. You’ve saved me so many times, but I only saved you once. I want to thank you for giving me the chance to save you.”

He Zhichu: ” … ”

“I’m fine now. By the way, how did you know I was ill? ” He Zhichu pulled down the curtains and leaned against the window as he asked with a smile.

“Your father called me.” Gu Nianzhi said without hesitation. “Professor He, your father cares about you so much. I can feel that he really dotes on you. He was so worried when he saw that you were ill that he even found my number. ”

He Zhichu’s heart sank. “My father called you?!”

So what he saw before he blacked out was actually a video of his father, and not a hallucination.

He had been confused right after he woke up yesterday.

He had clearly remembered seeing his father, but why had Gu Nianzhi called Chen Lie to save him.

He had been too anxious yesterday so they hadn’t had the chance to speak.

He had to find out today.

He Zhichu coughed lightly and asked, “My father? Are you sure it was my father?”

“He said he was. He also wanted me to see the video of you fainting. He really wanted me to help save you.” Gu Nianzhi said firmly, “Even though I didn’t see what he looks like, I don’t think his voice was fake. It was your father’s voice. There’s no way he could lie.”

If he was a liar, then he was a liar with his own reasons.

Gu Nianzhi thought magnanimously.

That person had saved Professor He and given her a chance to save Professor He. Gu Nianzhi was very grateful to him.

He Zhichu rubbed his forehead speechlessly. “Okay, I got it. Nianzhi… congratulations.”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”

After a while, she smiled. “Thank you, Professor He.”

“Huo Shaoheng is quite thoughtful.” He Zhichu said blankly. “The engagement ceremony he gave you was worthy of your status. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let him get away with it so easily.”

” …Major General Huo must have gone out of his way to get Professor He’s approval.” Gu Nianzhi followed He Zhichu’s tone since she didn’t want him to get angry.

Chen Lie said that this time, He Zhichu’s illness was caused by anxiety and anger. Gu Nianzhi didn’t want him to get “anxious and angry” again.

He Zhichu nodded. “When do you plan to get married?”

Gu Nianzhi had never thought about this question.

She and Huo Shaoheng had already gotten their marriage licenses. He was probably asking when the wedding would be held.

Because Russian President Pushin had already said that he would be the witness, they probably couldn’t make their own decisions about the wedding.

Gu Nianzhi said tactfully, “That depends on what Major General Huo says. I have to discuss it with him.”

“You’ll listen to him?” He Zhichu scoffed disapprovingly. “Nianzhi, this is your wedding. There’s only one main character at the wedding, and that’s the bride. Don’t put the cart before the Horse.”

Gu Nianzhi felt a little guilty. She chuckled and said, “I’d like to, but considering our ‘witness’, I guess I can only be one out of the many main characters.”

He Zhichu shook his head and walked back to his bed to sit down. He poured himself a glass of water and said, “No matter how high the status of the wedding witness is, it can’t surpass the bride’s limelight. Nianzhi, when the time comes, I’ll walk you down the red carpet, okay?”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t have a father, so He Zhichu wanted to be her family. He would walk her down the red carpet and then hand her over to Huo Shaoheng.

Gu Nianzhi was so touched that her voice choked up. “Professor He, are you really willing to walk me down the red carpet?”

Although there were still no plans of the wedding, she felt no regret at all when she thought about Professor He, who she respected the most and was like a family member to her, would walk her down the red carpet.

His almond-shaped eyes devoid of any emotion, He Zhichu looked ahead indifferently. “Of course. Why else would I bring it up?”

“I’ll remember that. Professor He, don’t go back on your word when the time comes. ” Gu Nianzhi smiled as she made an agreement with He Zhichu.

The two of them chatted for a while more before Chen Lie knocked on the door. “He Zhichu, it’s time to take your medicine. Go to sleep after eating. I’m going to close the wifi.”

He Zhichu: ” … ”

Gu Nianzhi heard Chen Lie’s voice and quickly said, “Then I’m going to hang up. Professor He, rest well and get out of the hospital as soon as possible. I’ll be back in two weeks. I still have a lot to discuss with Professor He.”

The case for the Angel in the Human World Foundation was about to be closed, and the date of her father’s death was also about to be announced.

In two weeks, she would receive all of the Gu family’s assets. When that time came, she would see if there are any new clues about her father.

After calling He Zhichu, Gu Nianzhi dialed Ma Qiqi’s number again.

Ma Qiqi was just about to take a nap.

Upon seeing that it was Gu Nianzhi’s call, she immediately picked it up and shouted, “Nianzhi! You finally called! Tsk Tsk, you’re status is so much different from before, so it’s much more difficult to talk to you easily now.”

Gu Nianzhi spat. “Qiqi, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

“I did it on purpose.” Ma Qiqi giggled. “Tell me the truth. What exactly happened with Major General Huo’s proposal? Did he really propose at the tomb of that unknown warrior?”

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Yes, that’s where he proposed.”

“Damn! That’s so cool! ” Ma Qiqi paced around the room excitedly. “I’m afraid only someone like Major General Huo would have such an idea! All the marriage proposal gimmicks with stars, beaches, and a drone ring are nothing compared to this!”

Gu Nianzhi burst into laughter. “Qiqi, don’t make enemies for me. What did the drone do to you?”

Ma Qiqi chuckled. “Actually, I was mocking Big Xiong. When he proposed to me, it was indeed very romantic, but because it was too romantic, it was a little frivolous, and it wasn’t heartfelt enough.”

“Qiqi, don’t push your luck.” Gu Nianzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “This is really like a siege. Everyone in the city wants to get out, and everyone outside wants to get in.”

“Hey, that’s how you describe a marriage. How can you use it like that?” Ma Qiqi corrected her and asked, “When are you coming back? When do you plan to hold the wedding? I’ve already said that if I’m not married by then, I’ll be your maid of honor.”

Usually, unmarried women would be the bridesmaids. Of course, married women could also be bridesmaids, depending on the situation.

“No problem. You must be my maid of honor.” Gu Nianzhi thought to herself. She then contacted a few of her undergrad roommates to see if they would be willing to be her bridesmaids. That was it.

Ma Qiqi blew her a satisfied kiss. “When are you coming back? I haven’t seen you in a long time. I miss you.”

“Soon, soon. Two more weeks.” Gu Nianzhi giggled and exchanged a few more words with Ma Qiqi, and was finally relieved.

Just as she was about to rest for a while, her phone started to ring instead.

She looked at the caller ID. It was Song Jinning. She quickly unlocked her phone and blushed. “Miss Song, you haven’t had your afternoon nap yet? ”

Song Jinning smiled brightly as she said gently, “Nianzhi, congratulations on your engagement. My son seems quite capable to be able to tie the knot with such an intelligent girl. ”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”

“Since you’re already engaged, the wedding schedule has to be put on the table. ” Song Jinning reminded her. “I’ll remind Shaoheng about this. Nianzhi, you just have to dress up nicely and be in charge of being beautiful on your wedding day.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart felt warm and she nodded vigorously. “I’ll listen to Ms. Song.”

“Oh my, you still call me Ms. Song like Shaoheng does. ” Song Jinning chuckled. “It’s time to change the way you address me, isn’t it?”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … ”

Ms. Song, how could you be so unkind as to fool Gu Nianzhi, who doesn’t understand traditional etiquette.

Gu Nianzhi almost fell for her trick.

Huo Shaoheng pushed the door open and walked in. Gu Nianzhi swallowed the words “mom”.

“Who are you calling?” Huo Shaoheng said as he took out his suitcase and started to organize his things.

“Ms. Song, do you want to talk to her?”

“No need, we will see her very soon. Why are you calling her?” Huo Shaoheng didn’t think much of it and put a few sets of his everyday clothes into his suitcase.

” … We will see her very soon? So Ms. Song is also in Moscow right now?” Gu Nianzhi was very surprised. “Where is she staying? Why don’t we pay her a visit?”

Huo Shaoheng shook his head. “Ms. Song isn’t in Moscow.”

“Then where is she? How would we be able to see her?” Gu Nianzhi was even more confused.

“Ms. Song is doing a scientific experiment in Tunguska, Siberia. We’re going on a trip to Siberia, so we can see her along the way.”

“Tunguska, Siberia? ” Gu Nianzhi frowned. “Why does this place sound so familiar?”

“Yes. The Tunguska explosion more than 100 years ago. Are you familiar with it?” Huo Shaoheng explained it to her as he helped her pack her suitcase.
