Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1623
Chapter 1623: I’ll Be Yours for the Rest of My Life
Gu Nianzhi looked at the number on her phone. For a moment, she felt as if she had been transported to another world.
She held the phone in her hand and silently caressed the number twice before slowly swiping open the call. She stood up and walked to her bedroom.
“Hello? Who is this?” Gu Nianzhi’s voice was sweeter and more alluring than usual. It sounded like a lychee that had rolled in honey, sweet and fragrant.
The person on the other end of the phone did not seem surprised. He laughed, then said in a low, clear voice, “Yes, it’s me, Lawyer Gu. How are you?”
Gu Nianzhi continued to play dumb. “Huh? Who is this? If you don’t tell me your name, I’ll hang up…”
She deliberately said to herself, “These men are so annoying. They call me all the time. It’s useless to block them. They keep changing numbers.”
The person on the other side was a little surprised. He frowned and asked, “… Many men make harassing phone calls to you?”
“Yes.” Gu Nianzhi walked into her bedroom and quietly closed the door. Trying not to laugh, she complained, “I don’t want people to say I’m promiscuous, but they won’t listen to me no matter what I say. Forget it, why am I talking to a stranger like you about this? I’m hanging up…”
She pretended to hang up the phone.
It was only then that the person on the other end realized that Gu Nianzhi was deliberately returning the favor.
He lowered his voice and said unhappily, “Lawyer Gu, are you playing this game with me? Young Master He said that you have an excellent memory. Not only do you have a photographic memory, but you also have a photographic memory. How can you not recognize my voice? You’re playing dumb.”
Gu Nianzhi, thinking to herself that Young Master He thought he was the real Ace the Far East so he won’t tell him about her, curled her lips..
This was just one more piece of evidence to prove that this “Ace the Far East, Peter,” was suspicious.
Pretend, keep pretending.
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and hung up the phone without hesitation.
On the other end of the phone, the Ace the Far East looked down at his phone. A faint smile appeared on his lips and disappeared in an instant.
When he raised his head, his face was already covered in frost. He quickly dialed the number again.
This time, it rang for a long time before Gu Nianzhi slowly unlocked the phone and said lazily, “Who are you? If you keep doing this, I’ll block your number.”
The Ace the Far East composed himself and suddenly said,”… if you really hated me, you wouldn’t have said so much to me. You wouldn’t have hesitated to block my number.”
Gu Nianzhi perked up. Damn it! He really knew her too well!
She felt as if all the dramatic cells in her body had been awakened.
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and lowered her voice by eight degrees. She muttered,”… I know you’re Peter, but I can’t bear to hate you. You look exactly like the person I love the most. When I see you, it’s like I see him.”
The Ace the Far East didn’t even bat an eye. He chuckled softly and blurted out a string of romantic words, “You can treat me like the person you love the most. You saved my life, so my life is yours. I won’t marry anyone else.”
When Gu Nianzhi heard the Ace the Far East’s words, she felt both emotional and excited. Her voluptuous lips curved into a cute curl.
She felt as if she was bathed in the early spring sun. The wind blew gently, and the air was still filled with the fragrance of love.
If this person was not her Major General Huo, Gu Nianzhi would have hated this man’s casual sweet talk.
But now she was more and more certain that the person opposite her was her Major General Huo.
And Major General Huo, given his status over there, would never say such words.
Therefore, when she heard these words, she felt as if she had deposited a huge amount of money in the bank. She had thought that she would only be able to withdraw the interest after 20 years, but now she had withdrawn it in advance.
She was in a state of extreme satisfaction, physically and mentally.
However, in this happiness that almost made her dizzy, she still had a trace of rationality. She told her that she could not let the person opposite her know that she had seen through his disguise.
Gu Nianzhi covered her phone’s microphone and took a few deep breaths. She said plainly, “Sorry, but even though you look exactly like him, I know very well that you’re not him.”
“Are you saying that to brush me off?” The Ace the Far East seemed to be angry. “I’ve never seen someone who looks exactly like me, and I’m sure that I don’t have a twin brother.”
Gu Nianzhi resisted the urge and shrugged. She said firmly, “It’s impossible to treat you like the person I love the most, not in this lifetime. But I can’t see him, so sometimes i admire you like this. I hope you don’t misunderstand. I don’t play the game of double lover. It’s unfair to you and me.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone resolutely and blocked the Ace the Far East’s cell phone number.
The Ace the Far East, on the other side of the phone, was currently flying from Moscow to the Huaxia Empire’s imperial capital in the first-class cabin.
He saw the other party hang up the phone again and was stunned for a moment. When he dialed again, the line was always busy.
She really blocked his number.
He stared at his phone for a while, then put it away as if nothing had happened.
He would be in the capital in a few hours. He would be able to see her by then anyway, so it didn’t matter whether he called or not.
..
After Gu Nianzhi finished her call, she came out of her bedroom. Lu Yuan, who was watching TV attentively in the living room, immediately turned his head and looked at her thoughtfully. He smiled and asked, “Huh? Look at your face. You look like a girl who just finished her phone call with her boyfriend.”
Lu Jin turned around and asked curiously, “Huh? Who called you just now?”
Gu Nianzhi touched her face and said with a smile, “I don’t have a boyfriend. Uncle Lu, don’t talk nonsense. It was the Soviet Union’s Deputy Chief Counsel, Peter, who number I blocked just now. His words made me blush.”
“Huh? It’s him?” Lu Yuan’s eyes flashed and he sat up straight. He was obviously more concerned than before. “Isn’t he in Moscow?”
Gu Nianzhi:”…”
What the f * ck!
She had been so busy arguing with the Ace the Far East that she had forgotten to ask him where he was…
“I think so. I didn’t ask either.” Gu Nianzhi pretended to be indifferent and walked back to the living room to sit down. She bent down to take the fruit plate from the coffee table and held it in her arms to eat.
After eating the cantaloupe, Gu Nianzhi took out her phone to check Weibo.
However, she had been feeling uneasy all this time. There were a few times when she almost couldn’t help releasing the Ace the Far East’s number from the blacklist. However, if she really did release it, what if the other party made a bad association? Wouldn’t that be self-defeating?
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi could only force herself to do something else to divert her attention.
Major General Huo was such a patient person. If she relaxed a little, the other party would be able to see through her.
After she had mentally prepared herself, Gu Nianzhi finally calmed down and went to the study to continue researching the dirty information on the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital.
Once she got back to work, she quickly put aside her distracting thoughts.
She was busy until midnight.
Lu Jin had knocked on the door a few times. Gu Nianzhi reluctantly put down her work and said with a smile, “Actually, I’m not sleepy at all.”
“Even if you’re not sleepy, you have to sleep well. It’s not good for your skin if you don’t sleep.” Lu Jin warned her with a stern face.
He was more concerned about his daughter’s health than anything else.
He had only one daughter in his entire life. He did not care whether she was famous. He only wanted her to be healthy and live to an old age safely.
Gu Nianzhi turned off her computer and smiled fawningly. “Okay, okay, I’ll go take a shower right now.”
She stood up with her phone and left the study with Lu Jin.
Lu Jin noticed how concerned she was about the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital and said, “I’ll hack into their system again when the new year is approaching and download more stuff.”
“During the New Year?” Gu Nianzhi held Lu Jin’s arm and said with a smile, “Is it because the management there is the most lax during the New Year?”
“Smart!” Lu Jin nudged the tip of her delicate nose and walked her to the bedroom door. He rubbed her head and said dotingly, “Go to sleep. We’ll look at those documents tomorrow.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded obediently. She was about to enter her bedroom when she suddenly heard Lu Jin’s phone ring.
It was so late. Who was calling him?
Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin curiously. “Dad? Your phone…”
Lu Jin took out his phone and looked at it. He saw that it was an unfamiliar number and said hesitantly, “… Maybe it’s a wrong number.”
Gu Nianzhi looked up.
It was the number of the Ace the Far East, the Drama King.
Was it because he couldn’t get through her?
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and said, “Answer it. It’s so late. Maybe there’s something important?”
Lu Jin frowned and answered the call for Gu Nianzhi’s sake.
The person on the other end immediately said, “Is that Uncle Lu? I’m Peter. I just came back from Moscow and brought some gifts for Lawyer Gu and Uncle Lu. They’re at the reception desk at the entrance of your apartment building. Can you ask them to let me in?”
Lu Jin pulled a long face and said unhappily, “It’s so late. Let’s talk about it tomorrow!”
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, the Ace the Far East said, “I offended Lawyer Gu today and want to apologize to her in person. I can’t wait until tomorrow to apologize. That would be too perfunctory. I hope Uncle Lu will give me the chance.”
He added, “I brought the best black pork and caviar from Moscow.”
Lu Jin was a little hungry after hearing this.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes sparkled as she said slowly, “You want to apologize in person? Fine, come up and cook supper for me and my father, and I’ll forgive you.”
