Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1030: Wait Till My Hair Reaches My Waist

In whispers of warmth, a bowl of chicken noodle soup simmered until eleven o’clock when it was finally ready. Gu Xu filled a big bowl, took two pairs of chopsticks, and they sat on opposite sides of the dining table, heads close together, sharing the hot noodles.

”It’s really delicious. I didn’t expect you to have such culinary skills.”

Eating the chicken noodles, Huo Sining couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up in praise. Gu Xu smiled, showing a rare trace of pride on his face: ”Back in the army, when I craved something, I’d often make something myself to satisfy the craving, and that’s how I honed my cooking skills. It’s just a pity that the ingredients at home aren’t complete; otherwise, I could have made you a few more of my special dishes.”

Huo Sining felt a tingling warmth in her heart, looking at the steaming hot chicken noodles in front of her. She imagined that in the days to come, she’d open the door to the smell of food and rush into the kitchen to see a figure busily organizing with ease. Just the thought made her eyes warm, filling her with an unprecedented urge and anticipation for the future.

”Gu Xu...”

Suddenly, Huo Sining called out to him from across the table, her voice a bit gentle and hushed.

Gu Xu carefully picked out the chicken shreds piece by piece and placed them on Huo Sining’s side. Hearing her call him, he quickly looked up: ”What’s wrong?”

There was a bright light in Huo Sining’s eyes, fleeting shyness, yet she smiled at him, her tone tender: ”In a few months, it will be my birthday.”

At that time, I will be twenty years old. Will you marry me?

Huo Sining now somewhat understood the meaning of ”waiting until my hair reaches my waist” and could feel why Gu Xu frequently counted the days, always mentioning her turning twenty.

She had never felt such an urgent desire. She hoped to get married immediately, even looking forward to the days after marrying this man. She thought there was nothing better than this.

It seemed that Gu Xu read her mind from her eyes. He smiled, leaned forward, and kissed her lightly on the face, slowly moving downwards. It was as if she was enchanted, obediently closing her eyes and surrendering to his wishes.

The kiss, flavored with the savory chicken noodles, landed on her lips, nibbling at her gently, bringing not just physical comfort but also a spiritual intoxication.

When the kiss ended, Gu Xu held her in his arms, stroking her long hair, softly speaking above her head: ”Leave it all to me, okay? You don’t need to worry about anything, just wait. I’ll take care of everything. You relax and get ready to become Mrs. Gu, okay?”

With her head resting on his chest, Huo Sining listened to the intense heartbeat coming from his chest, feeling warmth spread through her ears, subconsciously clutching the edge of his shirt, nodding shyly yet feeling peaceful inside.

Time won’t stand still, but the years can be serene. Such days, aren’t they wonderful?

Without dreams until dawn, the next morning, Gu Xu and Huo Sining drove to Yulong Mountain again. Several members of the Qin family were there. Qin Haiyan was feeding Elder Qin porridge. When they saw Huo Sining come in, everyone focused on her.

Not bothering with greetings, Huo Sining went straight in and asked, ”How was the old master’s condition last night?”

”The experts were all here yesterday. They observed for the whole night, and the condition has stabilized. There are no more symptoms of coughing up blood. He ate something last night and digested it normally. He even got up and moved around by himself today. The nurse took his blood pressure and blood sugar again this morning, and the levels are normal,” Ouyang Jun replied.

Huo Sining nodded and reached out toward Qin Lianshan’s abdomen. Under the Heavenly Eye, she saw that the large tumor in Qin Lianshan’s stomach had reduced significantly, but there were still many abnormal tumor particles remaining in the stomach. These particles could not be completely removed, and in the future, they might grow into large malignant tumors.

Though the situation wasn’t optimistic, there was nothing Huo Sining could do but temporarily use the Spirit of the Azure Pearl to suppress the condition. She used spiritual energy to once again align Elder Qin’s body, hoping he could fully recover and not be bedridden.

”Given the current situation, the most important things are a regular lifestyle, a joyful and relaxed mindset, and doing moderate exercise,” Huo Sining said after finishing up, then paused for a moment and looked up at Ouyang Jun:

”You might also consult with the expert group professors again. If the situation remains stable, see if he could be discharged. The hospital environment is quite oppressive and not good for the old master’s mental and physical health. If it’s allowed, I suggest going home for recuperation.”

Ouyang Jun nodded at these words, and he and Qin Tian hurried off to find Zhao Hongru.

After checking on Master Qin, Huo Sining and Gu Xu didn’t linger at Yulong Mountain. Once they descended, Gu Xu drove back to Shengtang and tossed the car keys to Huo Sining: ”You must have things to handle; take the car. Just come pick me up after work in the afternoon.”

Huo Sining didn’t stand on ceremony and directly took the car keys. Once in the car, she fished out a contact from her phone and dialed. After a few rings, the call was promptly answered, with a rough voice on the other end: ”Hello, who is this?”

Huo Sining asked directly, ”Hello, I saw your information online. Do you have warehouses for rent?”

The person’s attitude on the other side immediately became much friendlier: ”Yes, I have warehouses for rent. How large do you need, and for how long? Rentals start from six months.”

Huo Sining smiled: ”I’ll rent it for six months. About one to two hundred square meters will do. Give me the address. I’ll come right over, and if everything’s good, we’ll sign the contract directly.”

The person was delighted to hear this from Huo Sining and immediately sent the address to her phone.

Seeing the address, Huo Sining thought for a moment, then sent a message to Wu Jun: ”You’re in the Imperial Capital, right? Find a way to get me a few shipping containers before noon. Sizes between 10 and 15 feet will do, new or used, it doesn’t matter. The key is to be quick. I’ll send you the address shortly.”

Wu Jun replied swiftly without asking what the containers were for, simply replying with one word: Okay.

Huo Sining appreciated subordinates like Wu Jun, efficient and never verbose. These retired soldiers from the army are the best, always following superior orders and complying absolutely.

She instinctively whistled, started the engine, and drove Gu Xu’s low-key Maybach imposingly to the suburb.

Arriving at the warehouse location as per the landlord’s address, once the car stopped, two people came out from the other side. The person leading saw Huo Sining’s car and froze, instinctively nudging the one beside him, exclaiming, ”Wow, a Maybach!”
