Chapter 783:In the Past

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After all that was said, it was all her fault?

Gu Nianzhi felt very upset.

She thought of what she had done for Huo Shaoheng in the past; living for him and experiencing death for him. Every act replayed in her mind. In the end, she only got the four words, “fussing over minor matters.” She really couldn’t bear that kind of “kindness.”



Gu Nianzhi’s body suddenly became stiff. She held onto Huo Shaoheng’s arms and pushed him with great force.

But Huo Shaoheng’s strength was great. She couldn’t shake him at all.

Huo Shaoheng was keenly aware that Gu Nianzhi’s mood was downcast again. Furthermore, it was more serious now than the night before.

He quickly thought about what he had just said. He immediately understood. The young lady was wasting time on trivial things again.

Or maybe the way he’d said it was wrong.

He clearly knew that she was sensitive and she became angry easily. Any word he said would be played in her heart ten times. It would be hard for her to not twist what he said.

Huo Shaoheng sighed to himself and hugged Gu Nianzhi even tighter. “Little well-behaved one, what are you thinking about?”

Gu Nianzhi pressed her lips together and pouted and complained. “…What else could I be thinking of? You said I’m fussing over minor matters and that I was all wrong. It’s all my fault? Since I make things difficult for you, you don’t have to do things to satisfy me. I said it before that short-term pain is better than long-term pain. It’s because I was the one that said we should break up, so you are not happy about being dumped, right? I will give you a chance. You can tell me that we are breaking up, okay? I will…”

She didn’t finish what she was saying. Huo Shaoheng kissed her on her lips again and stopped the words from coming out of her mouth.

Gu Nianzhi mumbled and pushed Huo Shaoheng away with all her strength. But the moment she opened her mouth, Huo Shaoheng moved closer and kissed her lips again and blocked her mouth completely.

Her hands and feet struggled simultaneously. The amount of force she used was quite great. Huo Shaoheng could only clamp her hands down against the pillow. He placed his legs between Gu Nianzhi’s and his whole body laid on top of her’s. Only then was he able to ease Gu Nianzhi, who was acting like a little wild cat that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Gu Nianzhi was tired and she was huffing and puffing. Huo Shaoheng pushed down on her like a mountain. She was unable to breathe. However, when the opportunity was within reach she could still kick Huo Shaoheng violently.

The two of them started to turn, roll, and wrestle with each other.

Of course, Huo Shaoheng could not do it seriously. He only used two or three tenths of his strength. He was quarreling and fighting noisily with her to let her vent her feelings while preventing her from hurting herself. He was only waiting for her to get tired and until her whole body was sweating. Only then would she feel a bit better.

The more Gu Nianzhi fought the more spirited she became. She didn’t care if Huo Shaoheng was really backing down or if he was faking that he was backing down since she was in a very bad mood. Her mood was extremely bad. It was the kind of mood where she must hit someone to vent her feelings!

Her leg flew up and kicked between Huo Shaoheng’s legs. Huo Shaoheng didn’t even need to avoid it. He easily waved one of his hands and grabbed her little leg and made it so that she couldn’t kick him again.

However, Gu Nianzhi took advantage of the opportunity and turned her body. She used her left leg as a fulcrum and did a somersault on the bed. She stood up high and straddled Huo Shaoheng’s neck.

He was stunned. The young lady’s technique of catching someone at close-range was not bad…

Huo Shaoheng was temporarily excited and they started to learn from each other.

One hand was holding her waist. One hand lifting her buttocks, he was just about to let her go and to put her down. But at that moment, Gu Nianzhi used all of her strength and held onto his neck.

Huo Shaoheng’s fingers waved in succession and jabbed the funny bone above Gu Nianzhi’s elbow. He loosened the arm that was holding his neck and shouted. For the next round, he increased his lower body’s strength and used half of his strength to completely lift her up and then rolled as he carried her onto the bed.

Gu Nianzhi punched and kicked. She wanted to push Huo Shaoheng away. Huo Shoaheng could only use even more force to suppress her.

The poor bed was making creaking sounds loudly and clearly as they tossed about.

Not long after, there was only a rumbling and crashing sound.

The bed collapsed.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t control her forward movement fast enough and was about to fall to the floor.

Huo Shaoheng stretched out his arm and fell off the collapsed bed with her. He became Gu Nianzhi’s human cushion.

Gu Nianzhi sat on Huo Shaoheng’s waist and looked up at the collapsed bed. She felt shame and anger. She had taken all of her anger out on Huo Shaoheng. “It’s all you. It’s all you. It’s all you! What stupid bed did you buy? Fake and low-quality product! You must ask for compensation!”

Huo Shaoheng clearly knew that it was not a problem with the bed. It was from him not controlling his strength well enough. It was beyond what the bed could bear…

But Gu Nianzhi was angry. He knew better than to reason with her. He only held her as he lifted her up. He pressed her neck and leg and asked, “You are not hurt anywhere, right?”

“No.” Gu Nianzhi was still panting with rage. She turned her head and said, “Even if I am hurt, it wouldn’t matter. It will be fine after a few days. I am endowed with a different kind of natural gift!”

Huo Shaoheng suddenly had a fit of sadness. He embraced her and didn’t say a word for a long time.

Huo Shaoheng’s sudden tenderness scared Gu Nianzhi.

She blinked her contrasting black and white eyes and looked at Huo Shaoheng in a perplexed manner. She didn’t know what was wrong with the man…

He had just been fighting with that young lady. Shameless!

Huo Shaoheng held her hand and gave a big sigh. His eyes became gentle. His voice grew even more deep, low, and sweet-sounding as he said, “…Today, it was my fault. How do you want to punish me?”

What?

Huo Shaoheng admitted it was his fault?

Yesterday he had compromised and backed down. Today he’d admitted he was wrong and apologized.

Was the sun rising from the west? Or was her home’s feng sui flourishing?

Gu Nianzhi blinked and quickly glanced in the direction of the window.

No, the sun was still rising from the east.

“…It’s not my fault?” Gu Nianzhi looked at the collapsed bed. It was a big headache.

“I never thought that you were wrong. You say that other people think too much. It’s you who thinks too much.” Huo Shaoheng pulled her by the hand and sat on the sofa. His attitude was very sincere. “You are dying to twist and misunderstand everything I say. Tell me, isn’t that unfair to me?”

Gu Nianzhi touched her earlobe and didn’t say a word.

She knew that she had the intention of venting her anger on someone. She was suppressing the anger inside of her since the time the breakup hadn’t worked and she was tricked into signing the marriage certificate.

“If you have something to say, let’s talk about it.” Huo Shaoheng looked at her as she pouted her mouth out of habit. He couldn’t help but set her on his lap. He moved closer and kissed her pouting lips. “Such pretty lips are for receiving kisses, not for feeling like one has been wronged.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly turned her lips into a straight line. She didn’t leave a bit of them out for him to kiss.

Huo Shaoheng kissed her lower jaw. It sounded gentle, like it could calm and quiet a person’s heart. At the same time, he caressed her scattered hair while he let her lean against his chest.

In order to make her not feel awkward, Huo Shaoheng came up with a topic that could divert her attention. “Tell me about the things that happened in Germany.”

“…Didn’t I already talk about it?”

“You have to tell me everything from the beginning.” Huo Shaoheng tapped the tip of her delicate nose. “I read the Special Operation Forces’ mission report from that time and I feel like there are some problems. According to the information that came from Germany, those two Special Operation Forces’ field agents that were killed weren’t killed by the people in the federal intelligence service.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly sat up straight. It was what she cared about the most and it was the thing that she was longing to do for them. Get revenge.

“Maybe it wasn’t them.” Gu Nianzhi became serious. “It was like this…. That day, I left Dina’s hotel and ran into two people in the grove. They said they were sent by the Special Operation Forces to find me and they even showed me proof. I knew that it was fake the moment I saw it.”

Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Correct, our field personnel would not carry their credentials on them.”

“Then I hit them. I turned and ran. I hid in the forest. I heard Als bring his people over and kill those two fakes. Then, I heard them say that there were two more corpses in the forest. If my guess is correct, those two corpses were the real… field agents. However, they had been killed by those two fakes.”

Gu Nianzhi was choking on sobs. “Weren’t they very skillful? Why were they killed so easily?”

Huo Shaoheng muttered to himself. Unconsciously, he patted her back with one of his hands while saying, “Since they were able to tail those two field agents to their destination and even catch them off guard and kill them, they must have had something that gained those two field agents’ trust.”

“…You’re saying that there’s still a mole?” But Gu Nianzhi creased her brows and thought about it carefully. “Ye Zitan was only a military doctor. To be able to send out those two’s pictures was already her highest achievement.”

“Yes, I feel like there is still a spy.” Huo Shaoheng squinted his deep black eyes. They radiated a deep cold. “But this person hides too well. There has not been a flaw until now.”

“…This person’s ability is not only confined to the Special Operations Forces.” Gu Nianzhi analyzed with him. “I feel like this person is able to move too many resources around. Plus, this person’s plans are careful and cautious. Their only mistake was me.” She pointed at herself. “If it wasn’t for my special physique, his plan would have been perfect and successful.”

Huo Shaoheng kissed her slender fingers. “Yes, only Chen Lie and I know about your physique in this whole entire country. You can completely put your trust in him and me.”

“…It seems like Professor He also knows.” Gu Nianzhi hesitated a bit, but still said it. “I feel like Professor He probably knows a lot of things related to me. But he doesn’t say much about it. I don’t know what he’s so apprehensive about.”

“He Zhichu knows, but he’s also keeping it a secret for you. I feel like there’s nothing to worry about concerning this.” Huo Shaoheng creased his eyebrows in a way that was so subtle that it could not be detected. “But if he does know about your past, why is he unwilling to say anything?”

“He’s not staying quiet, right?” Gu Nianzhi thought about it. “Wasn’t he the one that called attention to the Gu family? Maybe he’s in some kind of trouble?”

“You are very empathetic toward him?” Huo Shaoheng was a bit unhappy, but he only said these few words unenthusiastically.

Gu Nianzhi felt it immediately. She squinted her eyes and raised her lower jaw and made an “humph” sound and said, “Professor He saved my life many times. Of course, I have to think on the bright side.”

“But you have to think of the negative when it comes to me?” Huo Shaoheng leaned dangerously close to her. “Do you favor one and discriminate against the other, Mrs. Huo?”

“Of course, you are not the same.” Gu Nianzhi said it unwittingly and when she finished saying it, she knew she had said the wrong thing. She was so upset that she almost had to hit the wall with her head.

Huo Shaoheng’s eyes sparkled gently. The smile in his eyes gradually appeared.

The feeling of restlessness, anxiety, and fretfulness that had been in his chest since the time Gu Nianzhi wanted to break up completely vanished. He embraced Gu Nianzhi’s waist and jolted his legs. “…So, Mrs. Huo loves Mr. Huo deeply and expects a lot from him. I understand.”

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but roll her eyes 180 times in her heart. She groaned coldly. “Mr. Huo, don’t encourage yourself. We are already in the past. Understand?”
