Gu Nianzhi , on the other hand, felt that Gu Nianzhi was too young for them to take the next step She had fallen victim to an aphrodisiac once, but she had been entirely out of it then She had no ether, and her body, too, seeotten all about it
He looked at Gu Nianzhi without saying anything A slow sently stroke her hair He said in a low voice: “…Thank you”
Gu Nianzhi hastily shook her head “You don’t have to thank me! That’s honestly what I feel You have to believe lad to hear it” Huo Shaoheng’s lips curved into a s you of the usual protocol—I never said I would be following it this time You can wipe that sad, pitiful look off your face now…”
Gu Nianzhi glowered at hi her!
She had poured her heart out to hiether, annoyed, and jabbed a finger into Huo Shaoheng’s chest “What are you going to do, then? If you don’t intend to stand idly by and let everyone think you were in a ro to deal with all the probleht now is too co answered calmly
He had taken a completely different approach to the situation, one so audacious no one else would have dared try it He wasn’t going to pretend to be Dou Qingyan’s lover, or reveal the truth behind the photos: he was going to publicly refute the authenticity of the photos
“You’re going to publicly refute the authenticity of the photos? Youto tell everyone the photos were Photoshopped?” Gu Nianzhi considered this “Will anyone actually believe that?”
“They’ll probably believeThey’ll start to wonder, after so leaned back into the sofa His posture was casual and relaxed; he did not see “But that’s okay It’s a risk I’ to take”
“Why?”
“First of all, it’s been seven years since ed since—the other personnel involved in theother things It’s highly unlikely that anyone would be able to discover anything from the photos Just to be safe, however, I’ve ordered the Special Ops personnel in the two affected countries to return to the E for duty at the headquarters by this ti was not the type to be reckless On the contrary, he was extreo into battle unless he was certain of winning

Tiencies would need at least 48 hours to get their hands on the photos and analyze them
This was the main reason why he had decided not to take the easy way out and pretend Dou Qingyan had been his lover, not when there was another option Besides, he was a principled man, and he would not bow to pressure

“Professor He told me to report to my university ahead of schedule,” Gu Nianzhi answered honestly “I should have done it by now, really”
“Professor He?” Huo Shaoheng waved his hand diso I’ve taken Professor He to the ation of the leaked photos”
