Chapter 1246 Unrealistic Fantasies
Gu Nianzhi had no idea what Huo Shaoheng was thinking.
She smiled and twirled around Huo Shaoheng a few times. “How is it? Does it look nice? ”
It was warm, of course, but she was concerned about whether it looked nice or not.
If it didn’t look good, she wouldn’t care no matter how warm it was.
Huo Shaoheng came back to his senses and calmly said, “Yes, it looks nice. ”
He took out his black card and immediately paid for it.
The sales a.s.sociate who helped him check out smiled like a Chrysanthemum and followed Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi around with the salesgirl, Lika.
Gu Nianzhi said, “Major General Huo, you should buy one too. Won’t you get cold?”
The sales a.s.sociate at Burberry quickly said, “We also have a coat of the same style for men. You two will look like a couple in them.” She then took a coat of the same style for men.
Gu Nianzhi liked it very much.
Her eyes lit up as she gestured Huo Shaoheng towards the coat.
Huo Shaoheng had a feeling that the thoughts in Gu Nianzhi’s little head at the moment were probably indescribable..
He just had “indescribable” thoughts himself, so now that Gu Nianzhi had “indescribable” thoughts about him, Huo Shaoheng was a little speechless.
He calmly nodded and agreed to buy the coat, but refused to try it on for Gu Nianzhi to see.
Gu Nianzhi pouted as she followed behind him. Huo Shaoheng pretended not to see her. He turned around and bought two glossy black mink fur hats that would cover half of their heads. They looked almost identical to the black mink fur hats worn by the Manchurian warlord governor from the old era.
He then bought leather pants with cashmere lining for maximum protection against the cold.
Finally, she picked out two pairs of long leather boots. The inner lining was made of soft, snow-white wool, and the outside was made of st.u.r.dy calfskin. They looked fas.h.i.+onable, high-end, and were very comfortable to wear. It would be no problem for her to travel long distance in them.
Seeing that it was almost time, without further ado, Huo Shaoheng said to Gu Nianzhi, “Do you still want to buy anything else?”
“No.” Gu Nianzhi looked at the shopping guide and the few guards carrying all their bags, then smiled very contentedly.
Only a woman who had walked the streets would know how fulfilling a shopping spree was.
The two of them spent an hour buying everything, and Anna personally accompanied them to the department store.
..
Vladimir looked at Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi’s various-sized Burberry bags and couldn’t help pulling a long face. He snorted and looked away.
Gu Nianzhi took out a pair of leather gloves and a box of leather belts that she had just bought and stuffed them into Vladimir’s hands. She smiled and said, “You have a present too! Come on, smile for me! ”
Vladimir looked down at the Burberry gift box in his hands. Although he wanted to pretend that he didn’t care, the corners of his lips curled up and revealed his true feelings.
“Thank you, Cereus. ” He pretended to keep his cool, then quietly took out his phone to take a photo and post it on his Wechat moments.

When the chauffeur received the same gift, he expressed his grat.i.tude in a much more straightforward manner.
He let out an shrill scream, then laughed wildly. “I have Burberry gloves and a belt! Hahahaha… When we get back, those kids will be so jealous! ——Cereus, thank you! ”
As the chauffeur spoke, his large body struggled to get up from the front seat, and he turned to kiss Gu Nianzhi’s face from the back of the seat. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Huo Shaoheng reached out and pushed him back without hesitation. “Focus on driving will be the best expression of grat.i.tude.”
“Okay.” The chauffeur couldn’t overpower the strength of Huo Shaoheng’s hand. He retracted his head resentfully, then turned around, started the car, and drove away from the entrance of Gu Mu department store.
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she took out her phone and began interacting with Vladimir on Wechat.
She gave him a “like” and commented, “Vladimir will have to work hard for the next few days.”
Vladimir immediately replied, “It’s not hard since it’s to serve the people.”
Gu Nianzhi: ” … How did you know that saying?”
Vladimir rolled his eyes in the front seat and replied, “That is the purpose of the KGB.”
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and replied, “Is that so? Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I don’t believe it.”
Vladimir: ” … ”
Huo Shaoheng glanced around inside the car and saw that Gu Nianzhi was interacting with Vladimir.
He ignored them.
The driver asked him, “Major General Huo, where are you going this time?”
“To Tunguska city in Siberia. ” Huo Shaoheng turned around. “You know the way, don’t you?”
“Oh, I don’t know.” the driver replied honestly. “But I have a GPS, so I’ll just follow the directions. ”
Tunguska city in Siberia was directly east of Moscow, so they had to drive towards the east.
Although there were no highways along the way, these ordinary roads were built during the former Soviet Union. The quality was very good and wasn’t inferior to current highways.
Moreover, because there were few people along the way, these ordinary highways were similar to the highways in Europe and the United States.
What was even more interesting was that there were many places where there was no speed limit, so they could drive very fast.
The four of them were soon out of Moscow.
They hadn’t driven far when Huo Shaoheng’s phone suddenly started ringing.
He picked up the phone and looked at it. It was his father, Huo Guanchen.
He frowned but picked up the call anyway. “What can I do for you? I’m on the road.”
Huo Guanchen was worried that it would affect his driving, so he quickly said, “General Ji told me about you and Nianzhi. He also asked when we’re planning to hold the wedding.”
Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”
He thought that General Ji told him about how he and Gu Nianzhi already got their marriage certificate, but in the end, General Ji kept his mouth shut.
He asked when the wedding would be held and didn’t say anything else.
Huo Shaoheng frowned. “We’ll talk about this later. I’m on the road now.”
“On the road? Where are you going?” Huo Guanchen froze for a moment. “Aren’t you leading a team to partic.i.p.ate in the International Special Forces Tournament in Moscow?”
“I’m done with that matter now. I’m not from this area anyway, so I won’t steal other people’s limelight and credit. ” Huo Shaoheng said calmly, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now.”
“Then why didn’t you return home earlier?” Huo Guanchen was very emotional. “President Pus.h.i.+n is going to be your witness, so you have to plan your wedding well. General Ji and Speaker Long both said that your marriage has become an international affair and that they will contribute to it.”
He didn’t even raise a single word of objection.
Huo Shaoheng’s lips curled up.
It seemed that his father wasn’t a complete lost cause. At the very least, he was a “tactful person”.
“I’m taking Nianzhi to Siberia now.” Huo Shaoheng shook his head. “I can’t go back to our country for the time being.”
“Guanchen, is that Shaoheng on the phone? Give me your phone.” Huo Xuenong leaned on his cane and came down with Luo Jialan’s help. He happened to hear Huo Guanchen calling Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Guanchen wanted to object to Huo Xuenong, but Huo Shaoheng was listening on the other end of the phone. Huo Guanchen didn’t want Huo Xuenong to be embarrrased in front of a junior, so he reluctantly said to Huo Shaoheng, “Your grandfather is here. He wants to talk to you.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded and thought about getting things straight so that his grandfather and father wouldn’t think that he was acting first and reporting later. Although he was indeed acting first and reporting later.
Huo Xuenong took the phone from Huo Guanchen and asked angrily, “Shaoheng, why did you get engaged outside without the consent of your family? You have to know that without the blessing of your family, your marriage will never be happy!”
“So what if the Russian president is the witness? He will leave after being the witness and leave you alone to face the ill-fated marriage. Do you really think he was simply being kind?!”
Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”
Huo Xuenong felt even more a.s.sured when he saw that Huo Shaoheng didn’t refute him. He tapped the ground with his crutch in his hand twice, and he said confidently, “Fortunately, you only got engaged in private, so it doesn’t count. Hurry back and get married to Jialan. When you prepare for the wedding, just let Jialan be the bride.”
“The Russian president can’t differentiate between Asian faces. When the time comes, she will wear a wedding dress with a veil, and this matter will be over. ”
Huo Xuenong had also helped Huo Shaoheng think of a way to fool the Russian president, Pus.h.i.+n.
Huo Guanchen, who was listening on the side, was completely baffled!
He thought that after he had objected last time, the old man would give up on the unrealistic dream of “letting Luo Jialan and Huo Shaoheng fake their marriage ” He didn’t expect that he still refused to give up the idea.
Huo Shaoheng’s lips twitched.
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous he sounded. “Get married to Jialan? Who is Jialan?”
“Huo Jialan is your former cousin, but she’s no longer a member of the Huo family. You know, she was never your uncle’s biological daughter to begin with, and now she has been removed from the Huo family’s household register and she changed her surname to her mother’s maiden name, Luo. She now goes by the name Luo Jialan.”
Huo Xuenong explained this to him impatiently.
