Chapter 487: She’s the One Who Wants to Meet You
“I’m still here!”
Before Huo Yingcheng could finish his farce, the person at the office table knocked hard.
His voice was extremely cold.
Huo Yingcheng shrunk.
Gu Qingjiu laughed out loud before moving forward to salute.
“Chief Instructor, Commander Huo!”
“Mm.”
Seeing Gu Qingjiu, He Niancheng acknowledged plainly before sweeping his glance over to Huo Yingcheng.
His meaning was clear. He wanted him to get lost.
Huo Yingcheng understood right away but couldn’t help but feel wronged.
He eyed Gu Qingjiu and He Niancheng, who was in front of him. His eyes showing his disdain as a single man.
But he only dared to show this disdain to Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu felt wronged by always being at the forefront and having to bear the brunt as the target of his attacks.
“Then I’ll be off!”
He loudly announced his departure before leaving.
No one wanted him to stay.
He left as a lonely soul.
Gu Qingjiu started to find this Huo Yingcheng pitiful.
He was like a lonely old man.
He should find a girlfriend…
As Gu Qingjiu lamented inwardly, He Niancheng called out, “Come over.”
She cheerily walked over to He Niancheng.
He Niancheng looped an arm around her waist. Instead of kissing her immediately like the other time, he asked, “You looked happy when you came in. Did something wonderful happen?”
His observation skills were sensitive for him to see Gu Qingjiu’s subtle change.
“Commander Lu told me there would be an outdoor shooting competition this weekend. Two other schools will be attending as well, and I’m excited at the prospect of competition.”
“Pfft…”
He Niancheng let out a low chuckle, as if not taking it seriously. “It’s just a competition.”
“But I like them!”
Gu Qingjiu’s reply was immediate.
He Niancheng narrowed his eyes as something unfathomable flashed within those orbs. “Between me and competitions, which do you like more?”
“Of course, it’s you.”
Gu Qingjiu replied even faster. As she leaned closer to He Niancheng, her eyes shone like twinkling stars.
“There’s nothing I like more than the Chief Instructor.”
The man in front of her finally curled his lips up in satisfaction.
If Huo Yingcheng were there, his jaw would probably fall.
This girl was getting pretty smooth doing sweet talks.
Everything seemed to fall in place, and something ambiguous brewed in the air. He Niancheng suddenly pulled a burst of grim laughter. “Next weekend, we will be having a meal at Auntie’s house.”
“Ah?”
Gu Qingjiu didn’t catch it in time. “Which Auntie…”
Right after those words left her lips, she recalled the aunt she met the other time, He Lianman.
He Niancheng’s aunt?
“Didn’t you say that….”
Gu Qingjiu widened her eyes. As far as she could remember, the Chief Instructor and his aunt’s conversation didn’t end on a good note.
As if knowing what Gu Qingjiu was thinking about, He Niancheng reached out to lightly pinch Gu Qingjiu’s smooth face. “It’s just a meal. She’s my aunt after all.”
The Chief Instructor wasn’t as cold as she thought.
She thought of him as the kind of person who could use extreme means even on his relatives.
That aunt of his was a noble lady of high status, and she would have a meal with her at her house this time.
Gu Qingjiu expressed that she was just a measly commoner who was frightened at the prospect of the meal. She asked carefully, “Is there anything I need to take note of, like what she dislikes, what should I…”
“Not needed.”
He Niancheng cut off her messy thoughts by using domineering thoughts. “She’s the one who wants to meet you. I wasn’t the one who wanted to bring you to meet her.”
