Chapter 1624: You Say You Weren’t Moved
The Ace of the Far East heard Gu Nianzhi and immediately smiled bitterly. “I already said that I don’t know how to cook. Aren’t you making things difficult for me?”
“Why do I need you if you don’t know how to cook? You even said that you needed to apologize sincerely. I think you should go learn right away.” Lu Jin waved his hand in displeasure. He did not care whether the Deputy Chief Counsel, Peter, could do it or not. “Alright, it’s late. You should go. Don’t stand here and be an eyesore.”
The Ace of the Far East paused for a moment and quickly said, “Then I’ll wait here. If anyone asks me later, I’ll say that I’m looking for Lawyer Gu to be my lawyer.”
“What lawyer? What the h.e.l.l are you doing?” Lu Jin could hear the hidden meaning in the words of the Ace of the Far East and asked suspiciously, “Hurry up and leave! Don’t bring trouble to us…”
Gu Nianzhi was dumbstruck as she listened from the side.
Although she felt that the the Ace of the Far East was most likely Major General Huo, she was still amazed by his unscrupulous behavior.
He had thought of everything in order to get into her house…
Lu Jin was most afraid of being exposed too much. If someone asked him about it, he would most likely give in.
The Ace of the Far East simply opened the video call invitation on his phone.
After Lu Jin accepted it, a tall man wearing a Soviet military uniform appeared on his phone. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree at the entrance of their apartment complex.
Snowflakes fluttered in the night sky.
The bright lights of the street lamps reflected the falling snow and fell on his extremely beautiful face, making his face appear as if it was made of porcelain.
His face was so handsome that it was flawless, as if it was a work of art meticulously carved by the creator.
However, Gu Nianzhi did not dare to walk up to Lu Jin’s phone to look at him because she was afraid that she would not be able to control her gaze and expose herself.
Therefore, The Ace of the Far East’s handsome face looked no different from a pa.s.serby to Lu Jin.
He nodded and said bluntly, “If you can come and make supper, then come quickly. There’s no need for us to look for Boss Lu. If you can’t make supper, then go back. It’s snowing outside, so I won’t keep you.”
He cut off the video call and turned off his phone.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up at Lu Jin and said in surprise, “It’s snowing outside?”
“Yes,” Lu Jin said and walked into Gu Nianzhi’s bedroom. He pulled open a corner of the curtain, and he said, “Look, it’s still snowing quite heavily. We can enjoy the snow tomorrow. Yes, we should eat roast venison to enjoy the snow. I’ll go tell Boss Lu to prepare the ingredients and tools for the roast meat.”
Lu Jin patted Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder excitedly. “Go to bed early.”
Realizing that it was almost one o’clock in the morning, he quickly added, “It’s already late. If you don’t go to bed soon, it’ll be dawn.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at the window and answered absentmindedly.
Lu Jin’s mind was completely focused on enjoying the snow and eating roast venison the next day. After giving Gu Nianzhi a few more instructions, he returned to his suite across the street.
There were only the three of them living on this floor. The elevator went straight into the house, so it was very safe and very private.
Gu Nianzhi walked alone to the bay window in her bedroom. She lifted the floor-to-ceiling curtains and sat on the bay window sill.
The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. The snowflakes were big and crystal-clear. Through the bright gla.s.s window, she could even see the hexagonal crystal shape of the snowflakes.
She looked in the direction of the entrance to the apartment complex.
Their high-rise building had a very wide view. There were no other high-rise buildings blocking their view, so they could see their surroundings.
However, the entrance to the apartment complex was too far away from their building, and it was night time, so they couldn’t see anything clearly.
However, Gu Nianzhi felt that she had seen it.
The tall figure under the streetlight was exactly the same as the one in her dream.
The snowflakes that filled the sky reminded her of the Christmas Eve that year, when she had returned from abroad to attend a party at Mei Xiawen’s house.
That day, she had been humiliated by Mei Xiawen and had left Mei Xiawen’s house with her suitcase.
At that time, she didn’t know anyone in the capital, and it was late at night, so she didn’t know where to stay.
She dragged her luggage and waited for the bus at the bus stop.
It was snowing that day, and Major General Huo somehow found out about her situation. He immediately took a plane from C City to the imperial capital to pick her up.
Amidst the snowflakes, she saw the man she had been longing for come out of the car and extend his arms to her.
At that moment, she fell into his warm embrace.
If there was a man, in your most painful and helpless time, put down everything at hand to accompany you, there was no doubt that he must love you deeply.
She hugged her knees and burying her head between her knees, sat on the windowsill. She was in emotional turmoil.
Was she going or not?
If she went, would that person suspect that she already knew the truth?
But if she did not go, she would not have a peaceful night.
Gu Nianzhi looked out of the window and huffed.
The fog on the gla.s.s had turned into frost, and the scene outside was blurred.
But she could see that there was a layer of snow on the edge of the windowsill outside the window.
It must be very cold outside, right?
Gu Nianzhi could not sit still anymore.
So be it, what was there to be afraid of?
Anyway, if he was to suspect anything, she could just say that she had “fallen in love with Peter”..
Gu Nianzhi, her heart full of joy, curled her lips. She jumped down from the windowsill and hurriedly changed her clothes. She went to the bathroom to brush her hair and wash her face, then put on a light layer of lip gloss.
She grabbed a cashmere coat and put it on, then took an umbrella and ran out of the door.
She got down from the elevator and left the lobby of the apartment building with an umbrella.
The snow outside was getting heavier, about the same as the snow she had seen at the station that night.
There was not much snow on the road, but it was still creaking and slippery.
She deliberately walked slowly, one step at a time, in order to act natural.
She thought it would be best if he had already left by the time she walked over, so she wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.
But if she walked over slowly, he would still be waiting at the door, and she would have enough time to adjust her state of mind.
It would take more than ten minutes to walk from her apartment building to the entrance of the apartment complex. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would take more than ten minutes to walk.
It was the middle of the night, and it was still snowing heavily. Gu Nianzhi walked slowly to the entrance, and it took almost half an hour.
But the Ace of the Far East was still standing at the entrance of the apartment complex.
His hands were in the pockets of his Soviet military uniform coat. He leaned against a big tree at the entrance of the complex, and looked ahead calmly.
At that moment, he suddenly saw a tall woman holding a light blue umbrella walking out of the heavy snow under the dark sky.
She was like a lamp that lit up the dark night. Everything around her retreated rapidly, leaving only her in his sight.
Gu Nianzhi walked up to him and said lightly, “It’s snowing. I’ll lend you this umbrella.”
The Ace of the Far East looked at her quietly for a while. His calm face gradually wavered. He reached out to hold her chin frivolously. His voice was as light as a lover’s whisper as he said, “… And you said you weren’t moved…”
“…”
