Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Unt.i.tled

After getting out of the car, Gu Qingjiu experienced for the first time the degenerate state of imperialism.

Even if Gu Qingjiu was mentally prepared, or rather put it this way, she thought people like Helian Niancheng would at least keep a low profile.

But after getting off the plane and even before leaving the airport…

Gu Qingjiu saw rows of luxurious cars parked outside the airport lobby.

Penalan was a mixed-blood country, so there were plenty of Caucasians and Asians in the airport lobby.

It was also rare to see such a grand spectacle.

With over ten limited-edition luxurious cars parked outside, anyone would take a second look.

Gu Qingjiu even saw many reporters there.

They were taking pictures of those cars, agitatedly saying something in English.

Gu Qingjiu thought to herself, ‘Oh no.’

However, Helian Niancheng directly pulled her to walk over there.

When they got off the plane, there were only the two of them, but he walked over as though it was only natural. With her hand in his, he gave off the feeling as though he was announcing something to the world.

Surprised gasps erupted around them. No idea if it was because of Helian Niancheng’s stunning looks or something else.

Gu Qingjiu saw Huo Yingcheng standing in front of the first car in that line, smartly dressed in a suit.

He wore the smile of a benevolent father as he watched them walk over.

The smile of a benevolent father…

“Major-general, welcome back! Qingjiu, welcome to Penalan.”

Huo Yingcheng finally greeted Helian Niancheng using that designation entirely naturally in front of Gu Qingjiu.

Helian Niancheng merely gave an imperceptible nod before handing Gu Qingjiu’s luggage to the chauffeur waiting by the side.

Gu Qingjiu wasn’t used to seeing Huo Yingcheng exuding such a proper and n.o.ble air, and she spoke her mind straightforwardly. “Commander Huo, I’m so not used to seeing you behave like this.”

It was odd—a person who usually gave off a roguish air suddenly transformed into a royal family’s butler.

Huo Yingcheng’s face twitched, and he swept a glance towards the reporters snapping pictures away and said in a low voice, “Let’s talk in the car.”

He opened the car door, and Helian Niancheng held up Gu Qingjiu’s hand and let her climb in first.

Following that, he entered himself.

This was Gu Qingjiu’s first time experiencing such treatment.

It felt very visibly different from how they received regular folks.

There was a standard n.o.ble etiquette in the air, and after Helian Niancheng got into the car, he thoroughly blended into such an atmosphere naturally.

In contrast, Gu Qingjiu felt unused to it.

It was only until Huo Yingcheng got into the car and sat down in a poised manner that Gu Qingjiu finally felt a bit of a sense of familiarity.

“Qingjiu, I’m surprised to meet you so quickly. I thought Major-general would only bring you back to meet them after you graduate.”

As Huo Yingcheng spoke, he even let out a chuckle.

Gu Qingjiu let out an embarra.s.sed chuckle too. “I’m surprised by that myself.”

Next to them, Helian Niancheng, who was browsing his phone, raised his head. “Are my parents around now?”

“Yes.” Huo Yingcheng nodded thoughtfully and said, “Old Master came back upon hearing that you’ll be bringing Qingjiu back.”

Helian Niancheng pursed his thin lips, and no one could detect any emotions from his face.

Gu Qingjiu was curious. “By Old Master, are you referring to the Chief Instructor’s grandfather?”

“Yes.”

Huo Yingcheng creased his brows slightly. “But Qingjiu, shouldn’t you call him something else than Chief Instructor now?”
