Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Panda Novel

Gu Qingjiu was listening to her father and He Niancheng’s conversation when she felt Huo Yingcheng’s gaze upon her. It struck her as odd.

She kept feeling that whenever Huo Yingcheng had his gaze on her, there was a complex look in his eyes. It seemed like he was sighing or something…

As though, he was mad at her for being a letdown.

In what ways was she a letdown?

Could it be because of the Yu family matter?

As Gu Qingjiu pondered over this, she poured Huo Yingcheng a cup of tea. “Commander Huo, I’m going to the military school in the capital soon. I don’t know if we’ll get to meet again. I’ll toast you with this cup of tea, to bid you farewell.”

When she said these words, the room fell silent.

He Niancheng, who was casually chatting with Gu Qingjiu’s father, suddenly gazed towards the cup of tea Gu Qingjiu handed to Huo Yingcheng.

Gu Qingjiu paused for a moment. Seeing Huo Yingcheng shoot her a glance, she abruptly reacted and poured a cup for He Niancheng as well.

“Chief Instructor, Commander Huo, I toast the two of you.”

Gu Qingjiu had asked prior to this and knew that the Chief Instructor didn’t drink alcohol. Hence, there was no alcohol ordered. Even if Commander Huo could drink alcohol, she could only use tea as a substitute for wine.

After she had finished her words, Gu Qingjiu raised her head and gulped down the cup of tea.

It was a solemn topic, but Huo Yingcheng was grinning so widely that his teeth were clearly seen. “Yes, yes, Qingjiu. Once you get to the military school, work hard! This is your opportunity!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that there were other people around, he would have stood up and patted Gu Qingjiu on her shoulders.

Just like what a leader would do to convey his sympathy.

Gu Qingjiu naturally nodded. She then watched as the Chief Instructor and Commander Huo finished their tea in one gulp like her.

Gu Hong quietly observed Gu Qingjiu and He Niancheng.

Because Commander Huo was also around, he didn’t quite see anything strange between the two of them.

At the thought of how she was about to leave, Gu Qingjiu felt dispirited after taking the toast.

This was supposed to be an appreciation dinner, but at the thought of how she wouldn’t get to see these people again, Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel too happy. In the end, she could only force a smile.

Although He Niancheng had a cold personality, thankfully there was the bubbly Huo Yingcheng livening up the atmosphere today.

Despite the fact that he appeared rash on the surface and had no sense of propriety, the things he said actually made plenty of sense. He and Gu Hong hit it off quite well.

On the contrary, He Niancheng—the one who was invited—seemed to be the one accompanying Huo Yingcheng here.

But he didn’t care.

He would respond with a sentence or two occasionally, and from time to time, glance at Gu Qingjiu who was focused on eating.

Towards the end of the meal, with no one stopping her this time, Gu Qingjiu ate enough for this meal to make up for what she missed out the previous time.

The appreciation dinner was about to end soon, and all throughout one could only hear Gu Hong and Huo Yingcheng chatting merrily. He Niancheng spoke very rarely on the other hand.

Finally, when they were about to leave, Qi Yuefeng raised her cup and toasted He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng. “Thank you for taking care of my daughter in the army. Thank you so much.”

Huo Yingcheng quickly waved a hand. “Please don’t stand in a ceremony, Auntie. Qingjiu is so cute, who wouldn’t want to take care of her, right?”

After he had finished speaking, he boldly poked He Niancheng’s waist. “Commander He, don’t you agree?”

He Niancheng’s gaze lowered instantly. However, he didn’t show it in front of Gu Qingjiu’s parents, and only cast a cold glance at an angle where Huo Yingcheng could see.

He then nodded.

Huo Yingcheng nearly died of laughter inside.

Qi Yuefeng covered her mouth and smiled, before finishing that cup of tea.

It was a pleasant meal for everyone.
