Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon - Chapter 711
Chapter 711: Commander Su, Please Instruct Me
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Unbeknownst to Su Shen, Gu Zi had awakened. When he had arrived earlier, he noticed that Gu Zi was still asleep. Instead of waking her, he decided to let her sleep, planning to let her get off the car whenever she woke up.
Unexpectedly, while he was lost in thought, Gu Zi woke up. Her beautiful, large eyes were staring straight at him. He responded warmly, “Don’t worry, there’s no big issue.”
Only then did Gu Zi feel relieved. “Alright, let’s get off the car then.”
Gu Zi unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. However, she failed to notice that despite his reassuring words, the wariness in his eyes hadn’t diminished, and his displeasure hadn’t lessened in the slightest.
Of course, this discomfort wasn’t because of Gu Zi. It was due to the increasingly reckless behavior of the people in the military. They even dared to tail his car, and it wasn’t just once or twice.
Perhaps he should have a talk with the person behind all this. Otherwise, it would eventually disrupt his life. Most importantly, he couldn’t let it affect Gu Zi.
Su Shen didn’t get out of the car. Instead, he told Gu Zi, “You go ahead. Wait for me in the dessert shop downstairs. Order something to eat. I might need to move the car.”
Seeing the man speak in such a manner, Gu Zi did as he said and went ahead. Although she had noticed that her husband’s behavior was somewhat strange, since he hadn’t planned to explain, she didn’t ask further. For now, she trusted Su Shen. If there was something to be said, he would say it.
After Gu Zi left, Su Shen symbolically moved the car a bit, then parked it. However, he didn’t head towards the department store. Instead, he walked straight towards an ordinary Santana sedan parked not far away.
He leaned his long arm against the car door and knocked on the window three times, two slow and one fast. The sound of the knocking seemed to carry a dangerous warning.
The person inside the car seemed to react after a few seconds, reluctantly opening the car door. As the door opened, Su Shen stepped back, watching the person get out of the car.
It was a young female soldier. Although she wasn’t in uniform, her salute to Su Shen was so standard that it was clear she was from the military.
The female soldier knew that tailing Commander Su would eventually be discovered, but she hadn’t expected that day to come so soon. She thought she had been doing a good job, impossible to be detected, but the reality was that she had been found out.
She racked her brains for a response. “Reporting to Commander Su, I am here on a military order. Please instruct me, Commander Su!”
Su Shen didn’t particularly like being addressed as Commander Su. He said solemnly, “I don’t care whose military order you’re following or what task you’re performing. If your superior ordered you to tail me, please convey my message to stop such absurd behavior immediately. It’s an insult to the image of a soldier.
“Also, ask your superior to give me an explanation and ensure that my family’s normal life won’t be disturbed. Understand?”
The female soldier’s fingertips trembled slightly. After a deep bow, she got back into the car, started the engine, and fled. Su Shen didn’t linger. He turned around and went to find his wife.
Su Shen accompanied Gu Zi to two jewelry stores, but in the end, they decided to buy gold jewelry from the first store.
Su Shen let Gu Zi make the decision, and Gu Zi was attracted by the brand of the store. In the later stages of the book, “Jin Da Fu” would become a very authoritative leader in the gold industry. Buying some Jin Da Fu gold jewelry now would make it more valuable in the future.
Gu Zi considered this a form of investment. So, she tried on a few pieces. After finalizing the wedding gift for Gui Hua, she continued to look at the new gold jewelry designs of the year. It felt like she was choosing jewelry for herself. Su Shen didn’t mind. He was just carefully observing which design she liked the most…
The day of Lin Hun and Gui Hua’s wedding was a Saturday. Gu Zi got up early, planning to prepare breakfast after washing up. The family would have breakfast and then head to the wedding venue in town.
However, when she got up, Su Shen was no longer in bed. She reached out to touch the spot next to her. Instead of feeling a person, she touched something cold.
She picked it up and saw that it was a golden bracelet with a carved peach pattern. Her sleepy eyes instantly brightened. Wasn’t this the new bracelet design she had admired at the jewelry store?
She had planned to buy it once she received her first month’s salary. But now, it had come directly to her?
Being as clever as Gu Zi, it wasn’t hard to guess that it was a gift from her husband. So, that day, he had quietly observed and secretly bought the bracelet she liked, just to surprise her today.
No wonder he had suddenly wanted to go pick out gold bracelets with her that day! Gu Zi put on the gold bracelet, her heart sweet with joy.
