Chapter 1246 - Unrealistic Fantasies
Hello, Mr. Major General
n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Nianzhi had no idea what Huo Shaoheng was thinking.
She smiled and twirled around Huo Shaoheng a few times. âHow is it? Does it look nice? â
It was warm, of course, but she was concerned about whether it looked nice or not.
If it didnât look good, she wouldnât care no matter how warm it was.
Huo Shaoheng came back to his senses and calmly said, âYes, it looks nice. â
He took out his black card and immediately paid for it.
The sales associate who helped him check out smiled like a Chrysanthemum and followed Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi around with the salesgirl, Lika.
Gu Nianzhi said, âMajor General Huo, you should buy one too. Wonât you get cold?â
The sales associate at Burberry quickly said, âWe also have a coat of the same style for men. You two will look like a couple in them.â She then took a coat of the same style for men.
Gu Nianzhi liked it very much.
Her eyes lit up as she gestured Huo Shaoheng towards the coat.
Huo Shaoheng had a feeling that the thoughts in Gu Nianzhiâs little head at the moment were probably indescribable..
He just had âindescribableâ thoughts himself, so now that Gu Nianzhi had âindescribableâ thoughts about him, Huo Shaoheng was a little speechless.
He calmly nodded and agreed to buy the coat, but refused to try it on for Gu Nianzhi to see.
Gu Nianzhi pouted as she followed behind him. Huo Shaoheng pretended not to see her. He turned around and bought two glossy black mink fur hats that would cover half of their heads. They looked almost identical to the black mink fur hats worn by the Manchurian warlord governor from the old era.
He then bought leather pants with cashmere lining for maximum protection against the cold.
Finally, she picked out two pairs of long leather boots. The inner lining was made of soft, snow-white wool, and the outside was made of sturdy calfskin. They looked fashionable, high-end, and were very comfortable to wear. It would be no problem for her to travel long distance in them.
Seeing that it was almost time, without further ado, Huo Shaoheng said to Gu Nianzhi, âDo you still want to buy anything else?â
âNo.â Gu Nianzhi looked at the shopping guide and the few guards carrying all their bags, then smiled very contentedly.
Only a woman who had walked the streets would know how fulfilling a shopping spree was.
The two of them spent an hour buying everything, and Anna personally accompanied them to the department store.
..
Vladimir looked at Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhiâs various-sized Burberry bags and couldnât help pulling a long face. He snorted and looked away.
Gu Nianzhi took out a pair of leather gloves and a box of leather belts that she had just bought and stuffed them into Vladimirâs hands. She smiled and said, âYou have a present too! Come on, smile for me! â
Vladimir looked down at the Burberry gift box in his hands. Although he wanted to pretend that he didnât care, the corners of his lips curled up and revealed his true feelings.
âThank you, Cereus. â He pretended to keep his cool, then quietly took out his phone to take a photo and post it on his Wechat moments.

When the chauffeur received the same gift, he expressed his gratitude in a much more straightforward manner.
He let out an shrill scream, then laughed wildly. âI have Burberry gloves and a belt! Hahahaha... When we get back, those kids will be so jealous! ââCereus, thank you! â
As the chauffeur spoke, his large body struggled to get up from the front seat, and he turned to kiss Gu Nianzhiâs face from the back of the seat. âThank you, thank you, thank you.â
Huo Shaoheng reached out and pushed him back without hesitation. âFocus on driving will be the best expression of gratitude.â
âOkay.â The chauffeur couldnât overpower the strength of Huo Shaohengâs hand. He retracted his head resentfully, then turned around, started the car, and drove away from the entrance of Gu Mu department store.
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she took out her phone and began interacting with Vladimir on Wechat.
She gave him a âlikeâ and commented, âVladimir will have to work hard for the next few days.â
Vladimir immediately replied, âItâs not hard since itâs to serve the people.â
Gu Nianzhi: â ... How did you know that saying?â
Vladimir rolled his eyes in the front seat and replied, âThat is the purpose of the KGB.â
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and replied, âIs that so? Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I donât believe it.â
Vladimir: â ... â
Huo Shaoheng glanced around inside the car and saw that Gu Nianzhi was interacting with Vladimir.
He ignored them.
The driver asked him, âMajor General Huo, where are you going this time?â
âTo Tunguska city in Siberia. â Huo Shaoheng turned around. âYou know the way, donât you?â
âOh, I donât know.â the driver replied honestly. âBut I have a GPS, so Iâll just follow the directions. â
Tunguska city in Siberia was directly east of Moscow, so they had to drive towards the east.
Although there were no highways along the way, these ordinary roads were built during the former Soviet Union. The quality was very good and wasnât inferior to current highways.
Moreover, because there were few people along the way, these ordinary highways were similar to the highways in Europe and the United States.
What was even more interesting was that there were many places where there was no speed limit, so they could drive very fast.
The four of them were soon out of Moscow.
They hadnât driven far when Huo Shaohengâs phone suddenly started ringing.
He picked up the phone and looked at it. It was his father, Huo Guanchen.
He frowned but picked up the call anyway. âWhat can I do for you? Iâm on the road.â
Huo Guanchen was worried that it would affect his driving, so he quickly said, âGeneral Ji told me about you and Nianzhi. He also asked when weâre planning to hold the wedding.â
Huo Shaoheng: â ... â
He thought that General Ji told him about how he and Gu Nianzhi already got their marriage certificate, but in the end, General Ji kept his mouth shut.
He asked when the wedding would be held and didnât say anything else.
Huo Shaoheng frowned. âWeâll talk about this later. Iâm on the road now.â
âOn the road? Where are you going?â Huo Guanchen froze for a moment. âArenât you leading a team to participate in the International Special Forces Tournament in Moscow?â
âIâm done with that matter now. Iâm not from this area anyway, so I wonât steal other peopleâs limelight and credit. â Huo Shaoheng said calmly, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâm hanging up now.â
âThen why didnât you return home earlier?â Huo Guanchen was very emotional. âPresident Pushin is going to be your witness, so you have to plan your wedding well. General Ji and Speaker Long both said that your marriage has become an international affair and that they will contribute to it.â
He didnât even raise a single word of objection.
Huo Shaohengâs lips curled up.
It seemed that his father wasnât a complete lost cause. At the very least, he was a âtactful personâ.
âIâm taking Nianzhi to Siberia now.â Huo Shaoheng shook his head. âI canât go back to our country for the time being.â
âGuanchen, is that Shaoheng on the phone? Give me your phone.â Huo Xuenong leaned on his cane and came down with Luo Jialanâs help. He happened to hear Huo Guanchen calling Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Guanchen wanted to object to Huo Xuenong, but Huo Shaoheng was listening on the other end of the phone. Huo Guanchen didnât want Huo Xuenong to be embarrrased in front of a junior, so he reluctantly said to Huo Shaoheng, âYour grandfather is here. He wants to talk to you.â
Huo Shaoheng nodded and thought about getting things straight so that his grandfather and father wouldnât think that he was acting first and reporting later. Although he was indeed acting first and reporting later.
Huo Xuenong took the phone from Huo Guanchen and asked angrily, âShaoheng, why did you get engaged outside without the consent of your family? You have to know that without the blessing of your family, your marriage will never be happy!â
âSo what if the Russian president is the witness? He will leave after being the witness and leave you alone to face the ill-fated marriage. Do you really think he was simply being kind?!â
Huo Shaoheng: â ... â
Huo Xuenong felt even more assured when he saw that Huo Shaoheng didnât refute him. He tapped the ground with his crutch in his hand twice, and he said confidently, âFortunately, you only got engaged in private, so it doesnât count. Hurry back and get married to Jialan. When you prepare for the wedding, just let Jialan be the bride.â
âThe Russian president canât differentiate between Asian faces. When the time comes, she will wear a wedding dress with a veil, and this matter will be over. â
Huo Xuenong had also helped Huo Shaoheng think of a way to fool the Russian president, Pushin.
Huo Guanchen, who was listening on the side, was completely baffled!
He thought that after he had objected last time, the old man would give up on the unrealistic dream of âletting Luo Jialan and Huo Shaoheng fake their marriage â He didnât expect that he still refused to give up the idea.
Huo Shaohengâs lips twitched.
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous he sounded. âGet married to Jialan? Who is Jialan?â
âHuo Jialan is your former cousin, but sheâs no longer a member of the Huo family. You know, she was never your uncleâs biological daughter to begin with, and now she has been removed from the Huo familyâs household register and she changed her surname to her motherâs maiden name, Luo. She now goes by the name Luo Jialan.â
Huo Xuenong explained this to him impatiently.
