Huo Shaohengnoncos of the phrase ‘taking care of””
“Please elaborate,” He Zhichi replied dryly He wanted to knohat tricks Huo Shaoheng had up his sleeve
“While Nianzhi is under my care, I want to teach her how to live independently I don’t want her to end up a giant baby incapable of adulthood” Although Huo Shaoheng was casual, his sarcasm was obvious
He Zhichu licked his lips in an atte forward to take his coffee from the table, he held the cup and slowly took two sips before snickering
He answered cooly, “Nianzhi is not a stupid person She wouldn’t turn into a giant baby no matter how she’s taken care of The point is whether the person caring for her is concerned for her”
“Indeed, whether so difference in the standards and ht up how he rescued Gu Nianzhi “The first tih sohtmares all the time and couldn’t be alone So if there wasn’t anyone there Honestly speaking, I was still inIf the military hadn’t requested nized, there’s no way I could’ve taken care of her”
Veins gradually popped on the back of He Zhichu’s hand and he gripped the coffee cup so tightly his joints protruded However, his expression reed as he half squinted He was so still even his long eyelashes didn’tfrohed deeply as he casually continued “She was just a little girl I really don’t knohy she had all those nightmares”
“Yes, well did you ask her what she dreamt of?” He Zhichu set his cup down and looked up with a face of curiosity
“Maybe it had to do with her past experience, or it was related to her car accident Who knows?” Huo Shaoheng shook his head “So you’re concerned about Nianzhi’s past?”
“I’ossip,” He Zhichi denied instantly “It’s just that I’ve studied a bit of psychology, and I know nightical reaction If one can deterht Have you tried this before? If a little girl is constantly having nightmares and can’t sleep, it can seriously impact her physical and mental health”
“Then you believe Nianzhi is physically andsmiled as his eyes drifted over to the small study Gu Nianzhi was in The adult Gu Nianzhi was lively and lovely, tall and pretty, humorous and cheerful She wasn’t stubborn No matter how one saw it, she was not physically and ardless of how dissatisfied He Zhichu ith Huo Shaoheng, he had to adrown up well Much better than he could’ve iined…
“How did you do it?” He Zhichu also looked in the direction of the study Through the closed door, they could almost hear Gu Nianzhi’s sweet andsmiled “It’s very simple I had her train with my soldiers She was exhausted, so she always slept deeply She ran ten kilo This went on frorown so tall?”
He Zhichu was speechless for a e of 12, Gu Nianzhi had been below the average height and above the average weight for children the sae She was not as healthy as she currently was No matter, she’d still been He Zhichu’s Gu Nianzhi This new, perfect Gu Nianzhi no longer belonged to him
He Zhichu looked up and replied coolly, “so your ‘care’ was brutality A delicate princess was trained like a brawny soldier The only reason she turned out as because she was healthy, to begin with”
Huo Shaoheng immediately latched onto the clue in He Zhichu’s speech and questioned him “Oh? Hoould you know Nianzhi used to be a delicate princess? I can’t see that at all”
He Zhichu recognized his slip and realized Huo Shaoheng had been probing him about Gu Nianzhi’s past He was instantly alert, but he knew he couldn’tin order to reunite with Nianzhi Otherwise, there would be too many obstacles He Zhichu, of course, knehat to say and what not to say He also knew he couldn’t rush Nianzhi still had ani move could wipe out all his past efforts
He Zhichu smiled “Mr Huo, hoould I knohether or not Nianzhi was a delicate princess? I was just irls nowadays are little princesses as long as they have parents, don’t you agree?”
