Chapter 1638: I'm Here to Chase You

The security guard at the door had already received the news. Hearing this, he quickly made way. "Mr. Peter, please come in."

Huo Shaoheng held two grouse in one hand, and the hare and pheasant in the other. Just like that, he slowly followed the aroma of the roasted meat to the barbecue pavilion.

Gu Nianzhi's heart was pounding, but she looked calm and composed. She sat next to He Zhichu and didn't move. She looked at the game in Huo Shaoheng's hand and pretended to be indifferent. "I didn't expect Mr. Peter to be such a good hunter."

"I often hunt in the Siberian winter. It's nothing to brag about." Huo Shaoheng's Chinese was accented. It gave people the impression that he was a foreigner speaking Chinese.

It matched perfectly with his identity.

He was indeed a drama king...

Gu Nianzhi was amazed. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Huo Shaoheng's flawless hands, and her mind wandered for a moment.

She thought about how when she returned to that side in the future, she would definitely ask him who did the maintenance for him...

Huo Shaoheng noticed that Gu Nianzhi was staring at his hands. He thought that Gu Nianzhi was looking at the game in his hand. He was amused, but his expression grew more and more indifferent.

He Zhichu turned the wine glass in his hand playfully, then looked up at the gray sky for a while and ordered aloofly, "Take the game that Mr. Peter brought over and give it to the master to clean up. Two grouse are called beggar chickens, and the mountain hare is used to roast honey rabbits. Wild chickens... make a wild chicken soup. Leave the feathers behind and make a shuttlecock for Miss Gu to play with."

Gu Nianzhi couldn't maintain the cold expression on her face when she heard this.

She glared at He Zhichu and said, "I'm not a child. I don't play shuttlecock, but I want to drink the wild chicken soup. The wild chicken that Mr. Peter sent over is too old."

"Then make it and roast it directly." He Zhichu continued to instruct.

"Yes, sir." His orderly walked over and took the four wild game from Huo Shaoheng's hands.

Huo Shaoheng walked into the barbecue pavilion and found a seat to sit down.

As the host, He Zhichu also had to show some courtesy. He could only ask, "What would Mr. Peter like to drink? Would you like a plate of roasted venison?"

Huo Shaoheng placed one hand on the back of the pavilion, and his expression was cold. "No need. I'm waiting to eat the game I brought."

Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed, and she took the opportunity to ask, "Actually, roasted venison is only delicious if you roast it yourself. Mr. Peter, are you sure you don't want to try barbecuing for us?"

"No." Huo Shaoheng rejected her without hesitation and said seriously, "Miss Gu, it's a waste to force someone who doesn't know how to cook, and it's shameful to waste food."

He Zhichu chuckled and said, "Mr. Peter, I didn't expect you to care so much about food. But what are you doing here? Is there serious business?"

Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi and saw that she was looking in the direction of the barbeque chef, but her ears were still perked up

He leaned in Gu Nianzhi's direction and said, "... I do have serious business. I'm here to chase after Miss Gu."

Gu Nianzhi hadn't expected Huo Shaoheng to be so bold as to confess his love in public. She didn't know how to respond at all, and her face flushed uncontrollably.

Her skin had always been especially fair, supple, and elastic. Now, her cheeks were brightly flushed. She had less of a young girl's childishness and more of the touch of the beauty of a mature woman.

Huo Shaoheng was in a daze for a moment.

He hadn't seen her for a few months, but she had already grown up quickly in a place he couldn't see.

He Zhichu's hand gripped the wine glass tightly. He looked away with difficulty, then saw Xie Qingying walking over with a few women. He greeted her as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. "Qingying, Mr. Peter from the Soviet Union is here."

Xie Qingying smiled and said, "I saw him over there, so I came over."

She looked in Huo Shaoheng's direction and said enthusiastically, "I didn't expect Mr. Peter to have the time to come to our little gathering."

Huo Shaoheng glanced at the two shy and timid women beside Xie Qingying and pointed directly at Gu Nianzhi. "Yes, I'm here to chase after her."

The two women beside Xie Qingying immediately turned pale and retreated. They looked as if they had fallen straight from heaven into hell. They turned around and ran away.

Xie Qingying did not expect Mr. Peter to be so honest, so she liked him even more. She limped over with her walking stick and stood next to He Zhichu. She smiled at Huo Shaoheng and said, "Mr. Peter, you have good taste. Miss Gu has gotten more beautiful, so she's not that easy to chase after!"

Gu Nianzhi's face blushed even more. She glared at Huo Shaoheng, then smiled at Xie Qingying. "Cousin Xie sure knows how to joke around. Mr. Peter is just joking. Don't take him seriously."

"I'm serious," Huo Shaoheng said seriously. In front of so many people, he said firmly, "I like you. I'm pursuing you."

Gu Nianzhi's heart was filled with sweetness as she listened. She was about to burst with happiness, but she still had to keep a straight face. She couldn't let He Zhichu think that there was something wrong with her.

She stopped smiling and said lightly, "I've told you many times that we're not suitable. Mr. Peter, don't waste your time with me."

She stood up and walked out of the barbecue pavilion without looking at Huo Shaoheng.

Luo Piaopiao and the others finally came in. Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity to wait for them by the side of the road.

Luo Piaopiao looked around and almost missed Gu Nianzhi standing by the side of the road.

Luo Yaozu saw her and quickly went up to her. " Miss Gu, what a coincidence!"

Luo Piaopiao noticed Gu Nianzhi and stepped forward to hold her hand. "Cousin Gu, are you waiting for us here?"

"Yes." Gu Nianzhi tilted her head. The smile on her face was no longer repressed. Her smile was like a blooming flower, radiant and beautiful.

Luo Yaozu's eyes widened. He felt that this Miss Gu was becoming more and more pleasing to his eyes.

If this went on, he really had to pursue her.

He was momentarily blinded by lust and emboldened himself. He followed closely beside Gu Nianzhi to take care of her. He tried to get close to her. "Where does Miss Gu work? I heard you're a lawyer, right? Do you want to go to one of the big four law firms? I know a friend who's one of the partners of one of the big four law firms. He can help you get in."

Gu nianzhi chuckled and brushed him off a little. She cleverly led the conversation to his family, especially his mother.

"Mr. Luo's mother is Dean Qin's cousin? But I don't think Dean Qin mentioned it before."

"Oh, my mother passed away a long time ago. It's normal that Auntie Qin didn't mention it before." Luo Yaozu said nonchalantly.

"Passed away?" Gu Nianzhi was very disappointed. She hadn't expected that her trail would cut off the connection the moment she found a clue.

It seemed that Luo Piaopiao was her only lead.

Gu Nianzhi turned to look at Luo Piaopiao, who was walking on the other side of her, only to see her staring blankly in the direction of the barbecue pavilion.

Gu Nianzhi looked up as well.

On the other side of the barbecue pavilion, He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng were standing side by side in the pavilion, looking straight in their direction.

The two of them were almost the same height. One was as graceful as the moon in the cold river, while the other was as cold as the icy spring in the mountains.

Just by looking at their appearances, Huo Shaoheng was indeed more outstanding. Luo Piaopiao, who had initially thought that her heart and soul were Young Master He, instantly fell under Huo Shaoheng's military uniform.

However, He Zhichu was no less charming than Huo Shaoheng, which was rare.

Gu Nianzhi was proud of He Zhichu's appearance, but she couldn't bear to see others staring at Huo Shaoheng.

Seeing Luo Piaopiao like this, Gu Nianzhi coughed and said, "Cousin Luo, wipe your saliva off. You're almost drooling."

Luo Piaopiao subconsciously wiped her chin. There was no saliva at all, and only then did she realize that Gu Nianzhi was teasing her.

"Cousin Gu, you're so naughty!" Luo Piaopiao's face blushed. She suddenly bent down and grabbed a handful of snow from the side of the road and threw it in Gu Nianzhi's direction!

Gu Nianzhi quickly took a few steps back and dodged.

Luo Yaozu happened to turn around.

Luo Piaopiao's handful of snow landed squarely on Luo Yaozu's face!

Luo Yaozu screamed, "Luo Piaopiao, I won't let you off the hook!"

He bent down to grab a handful of snow and threw it at Luo Piaopiao.

Luo Piaopiao didn't run fast enough, so her shrunken neck was hit by Luo Yaozu's snowball.

The icy cold water seeped into the back of her neck, causing her to quiver.

"Luo Yaozu!" Luo Piaopiao waved her hand angrily and said,"... all of you, attack!"

She and her friends bent down to grab the snow and started to fight.

Gu Nianzhi found it interesting and joined in on the fun.

Sometimes, she was in Luo Yaozu's group, and sometimes, she was in Luo Piaopiao's group. They were having a merry time.

The third generation heirs who were playing with Luo Yaozu and Luo Piaopiao were all all rich kids very good at eating, drinking, and having fun.

Gu Nianzhi wanted to get to know these two people, so she also wanted to get close to them.

After a snowball fight, Luo Piaopiao already regarded her as her best friend.

Not far away in the barbecue pavilion, He Zhichu crossed his arms as he watched Gu Nianzhi fight in the crowd. He said coldly, "Mr. Peter, don't waste any more time. Nianzhi won't accept you."

"Whether she accepts me or not is her business. Whether I pursue her or not is my business. There's no need for you to worry, He Zhichu." Huo Shaoheng rejected He Zhichu coldly.

"You're much older than her. You're not suitable for her." He Zhichu smiled. "Look at how well she's playing with her peers. I'm just reminding you. Whether you accept it or not is your business."
