But when purchasing the items, Gu Qingjiu had gone alone.
He Niancheng sat in the car throughout, toying with a silver lighter.
Seeing his arrogant manner, Gu Qingjiu knew that he was someone who wouldn’t deign to undertake such chores.
She finally understood what the Chief Instructor meant by replacing Commander Huo—she was replacing him as Commander He’s nanny!
Taking care of every aspect of his daily living.
It had been tough on Commander Huo.
When Gu Qingjiu was purchasing the items, she was wondering how Commander Huo had survived working under the Chief Instructor.
‘Peng!’
Gu Qingjiu got into the car and closed the car door. After that, she made a strike through the last item on the list.
“Ok, Chief Instructor, I’m done buying everything. Do you want to go back now?”
Gu Qingjiu looked up and asked He Niancheng.
He Niancheng raised his gaze. “Didn’t you say you wanted to make a trip back home?”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yes, I wish to make a trip back home to retrieve some things.”
“Since that’s the case, you can go back yourself and return to the military zone tomorrow, because I’m going back to the military zone now.”
Upon hearing he was going back now, Gu Qingjiu could only say, “Then alright, Chief Instructor, you go back first and I’ll return to the military zone tomorrow.”
After all, he was her Chief Instructor, so his words would count.
As Gu Qingjiu pulled open the car door and got out, she reminded him, “Chief Instructor, since I won’t be around tomorrow, can I trouble you to sign for the items when they arrive tomorrow? I signed your name on the purchases. But if you find it too troublesome, you can get Doctor Nan to do it on your behalf.”
It was highly unlikely that someone like He Niancheng would bother to do something like that himself.
Gu Qingjiu was just saying that as a form of insurance.
He Niancheng gazed at Gu Qingjiu. Although his gaze still reminded one of an early winter, it didn’t seem as cold as before. He nodded, then drove away after Gu Qingjiu had closed the car door.
Gu Qingjiu prepared to return to the Gu family immediately.
She was wearing an army uniform, and her short hair gave her a crisp and clean appearance.
She gave off a valiant and energetic vibe, a world of difference from the cowardly and ordinary Gu Qingjiu back then.
Within the short span of two months, Gu Qingjiu underwent such a massive transformation in the troops. She believed that her parents would be extremely shocked to see her, Gu Qingjiu!
Back then she had only spent a short few days with her parents before bidding them farewell.
Now that she had the chance to return to home, Gu Qingjiu naturally couldn’t conceal her excitement.
She hailed a cab back home.
Because she was in the city center, there were many twists and turns in the streets, and it was quite a distance away from her home.
She couldn’t trouble the Chief Instructor to send her home.
When she reached home, Gu Qingjiu saw a black Mercedes parked under her apartment building.
Her father was the in-charge of a small company and would entertain guests from time to time. Hence, Gu Qingjiu didn’t pay much attention to seeing such a scene. She stepped into the mini-mart downstairs.
The female owner of the mini-mart, Chen Yanhong, was tallying a customer’s bill right.
Gu Qingjiu calmly walked inside, not bothering to say hello.
Seeing a short-haired pretty girl walk in, Chen Yanhong’s eyes widened, and she started calling out loudly. “Aye, who are you? Why are you walking upstairs for no reason and not stopping when you’re called? Are you here to steal or what?”
Gu Qingjiu didn’t halt in her footsteps at hearing this. She merely turned her head, an emotionless coldness in her eyes.
“I am Gu Qingjiu!”
