Huo Shaoheng pulled her to his side, pointed at He Zhichu, and said, “Are you sure you want him as your brother? The two of you are not even blood-related, why be each other’s siblings?”
Gu Nianzhi felt soh she relied on and respected He Zhichu much like kin, it still felt ahen He Zhichu said aloud that she had agreed to regard him as her brother
He Zhichu hid the wound beneath his eye and laughed bitterly “Do you really think I want us to be siblings? What I want is for us to ree?”
“What?””No!” Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi responded in unison
He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi, then at Huo Shaoheng, and said in a cold voice, “Yes, that’s right Froot so to say about that, tell it to her parents Don’t ask me about it”
“Do you knohere her parents are?” Huo Shaoheng probed, hoping to get more information out of He Zhichu
However, He Zhichu knew better than to spill “General Huo, if you haven’t found them after all these years, how on earth is it possible for someone like me to succeed in that? Besides, even if I did, do you really think I’d be waiting for you to go pick the fruit? Nianzhi would have long ago been married to me!”
It wasn’t like what he said didn’t make sense
Given his obsession with Gu Nianzhi, if He Zhichu could find her parents and prove that they were engaged, he would’ve done so eons ago
Huo Shaoheng’s eyes darkened He said cal’s out on the table, letan affectionate brother”
He Zhichu shot hilance, crossed his are that I’m now her brother? That works too If you want to marry her, you’ll first need to seek ree to that?”
In her heart, Gu Nianzhi had always thought that it was easier to settle things with He Zhichu, so she nodded obediently “Professor He… with you checking up on e of”

Gu Nianzhi raised both her arht Now, please get out ofat the Senate toy to deal with the two of you right now”
Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi and thought of what she’d said earlier on, about a way to stop Cai Songyin fro Could it be related to the Senate somehow?
He wanted to ask her about it but refrained when he saw that it was already past 1:00 AM “Go to sleep, I’” He looked at He Zhichu “Professor He, do you want to leave together? I still have some questions for you”
He Zhichu was both physically and y to deal with the crafty fellow and his interrogation He grabbed his coat from the sofa and said coldly, “I’ you want to talk about, do it later”
Gu Nianzhi stood in the living room and watched the two of them leave, one after another She then closed the doors and locked the her bedroom and blacked out almost instantly
The issue was finally resolved She felt the weight lift off her shoulders and slept soundly through the night It was a night without any dreams
