Did she think it was him? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Gu Jizhou stared at Che Huan in silence for a while, his voice cold as he asked, "Who went to Yucai Kindergarten with Qin Shaojin today?"

Che Huan looked up, smiled at Gu Jizhou, and said, "Mr. Huo, your uncle!"

Gu Jizhou stood there, his face turning pale abruptly.

Che Huan fixed her gaze on Gu Jizhou, her smile growing thicker as her voice became a wisp of smoke, "So this piece of news is worth a billion, huh."

Her smile was too dazzling, tightening his breath bit by bit.

Gu Jizhou stood there without a word, suddenly noticing Che Huan’s swollen lips. In an instant, it was as if a venomous snake had wrapped around his neck, tightening ever more!

After watching for a while, Che Huan diverted her gaze and turned to go upstairs.

Gu Jizhou stood there, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes!

Thinking that she still didn’t know about the child, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After standing for a while, he went back to his car and called the Huo family’s old master, "Great-grandfather, I’d like to return to the military to further hone myself for a few years."

The Huo family’s old master sat silently for a long time after receiving the call.

In the past, Jizhou always complained about the hardships of military life and was unwilling to go.

Fearing that he had grown too accustomed to comfort, the old master forcibly sent him there, only for Jizhou to call within days to complain, wanting to come back.

With a hard heart, the old master ignored him, and as a result...

After that experience, Jizhou had indeed matured quite a bit, but...

The old master let out a long sigh, "Why do you suddenly want to return to the military?"

Gu Jizhou’s hand tightened around the steering wheel bit by bit, "It’s tougher in the military, but it makes one feel more grounded. After these recent events, I think I need some time to settle."

"Let me think about it."

The Huo family’s old master hung up the phone and sat there, his expression heavy.

With his understanding, Jizhou’s sudden desire to return to the military was definitely not that simple.

After sitting for a while, he turned to Uncle Guan, "Go check why Jizhou suddenly wants to go back to the military."

"Yes, old master," Uncle Guan replied, glancing at the old master. Could the old master seriously be considering agreeing to the young master’s request?

The old master looked at Uncle Guan with furrowed brows, "Keep this matter from the others for now."

Uncle Guan understood the stakes, "I understand, old master."

"Alright, go handle it."

The old master sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed tightly.

After sitting for a while, he thought about calling Anan. He picked up the phone but then set it back down.

That evening, when Huo Jinnan returned to Nanyuan Villa, he saw Gu Jizhou’s car parked at the door. He stopped his car, slowly opened the driver’s door, and strode with his long legs up to where Gu Jizhou stood.

Gu Jizhou was standing to one side, looking down and smoking. Hearing a car approach, he suddenly looked up and saw the black Bentley. His gaze froze there.

By the time he came to his senses, his uncle was already standing in front of him. Thinking of Che Huan’s words, his clenched fist loosened and tightened repeatedly, yet his face maintained the same rigid smile, "Uncle, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you today."

Huo Jinnan glanced briefly at the cigarette butts on the ground, "Been waiting long?"

Gu Jizhou struggled to remain calm, looking up at Huo Jinnan, his gaze suddenly fixed.

Split lips, the imprint of a slap on his face...

His lungs seized, unable to draw breath for a moment!

The other person who went to the kindergarten today must be his uncle!

Huo Jinnan swept a look at Gu Jizhou, his eyes dark and icy, "You have a serious nicotine addiction."

Gu Jizhou forced a stiff smile, shifting his gaze away from Huo Jinnan’s face, "Uncle, there’s something I’ve been hiding from my great-grandfather and grandfather, and I feel very guilty about it."
