Gu Nianzhi wasn’t a timid girl. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to speak so fluently and confidently in front of so many people in court.But this time, she felt caught off guard.

She was completely unprepared. She had been singled out by the president and became the focus of everyone’s attention.

She didn’t know how she had managed to finally approach the president.

Huo Shaoheng, who was sitting on the other side of the president, stood up as well. His gentle and calm gaze fell on her. It was due to his tacit encouragement and comfort that she finally managed to calm her nerves.

Her wildly beating heart finally clamed down. She no longer felt dazed.

Her gaze gradually focused on the president in front of her.

Gu Nianzhi’s self-assurance and composure had returned. She curiously gazed at the famous president.

He wasn’t that tall indeed, and he even seemed to be a little shorter than Gu Nianzhi when she was wearing high heels.

But his majestic aura was indeed unrivaled.

In front of such a person, physical appearance and other superficial things weren’t worth mentioning.

One could feel his imposing aura that was as steady as a mountain, and it was as if the world was just a globe in his hands.

Even a casual twirl of his fingers would have an immeasurable impact on the entire world.

He wasn’t very handsome, but when one looked at him, one couldn’t help but become attracted to him.

This sort of mysterious charm was also present on Huo Shaoheng.

Was this vibe particular to military men on the special front like them?

Gu Nianzhi’s thoughts were running wild, so she was no longer nervous.

She politely shook the President’s outstretched hand and smiled as she said, “Thank you, president, for your kind words.”

“Cereus, you’re welcome. ” The Russian President, Pushin, held Gu Nianzhi’s hand, but had no intention of letting go.

Pulling her in to stand beside him, Pushin smiled at the crowd of the most powerful special forces soldiers from all over the world. “Before today’s opening ceremony, I would like to share some good news.”

The simultaneous interpreter translated President Pushin’s words into English, German, French, and Chinese for everyone to hear.

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened as she looked at Huo Shaoheng in surprise and delight.

Huo Shaoheng was also slightly taken aback, but he quickly felt relieved.

Since President Pushin had such good intentions, he would accept his goodwill.

He nodded at Gu Nianzhi without batting an eye to assure her.

As long as Huo Shaoheng was by her side, Gu Nianzhi had nothing to be afraid of.

She smiled as she looked at President Pushin.

On the lawn below the podium, everyone seemed to have snapped back to reality and started whispering to each other as they discussed what good news the president was going to share that day.

” … Is the president going to get married again?”

“No way! Or is he going to announce that he has a son?”

“You’re gonna get into huge trouble! Our president only has two daughters!”

“Yes, yes, yes, only two daughters. It’s not like he doesn’t have a son…”

Everyone laughed with tacit understanding. Someone also asked, “What’s the background of that young Asian girl? Although she’s also very beautiful, I don’t think Pushin would fancy such a young girl…”

Just as everyone was speculating, President Pushin continued, “Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to witness the most beautiful and epic marriage proposal.”

“Right in front of the tomb of our unknown warrior, Major General Huo Shaoheng, fromthe Huaxia Empire, proposed to his beloved woman, Cereus.”

“While Cereus was very moved and immediately agreed to his proposal without any hesitation.”

The simultaneous interpreter had just finished, and the venue, which had been bustling moments before, suddenly fell into a dead silence. It seemed as if even the air had frozen.

The expressions of the Special Forces soldiers went blank for a moment, then they looked at Gu Nianzhi again.

How could this fragile little girl, who seemed so frail, actually agree to a marriage proposal by a soldier in front of the Tomb of the unknown warrior?!

They all knew what the tomb of the unknown warrior in Moscow symbolized to military men.

Although most of them weren’t Russian soldiers, the tomb of the unknown warrior was extremely sacred to soldiers from all over the world.

Almost every soldier who knew about the tomb of the unknown warrior treated it with the respect and respect it deserved.

Because to respect it was to respect themselves.

Everyone looked at Gu Nianzhi with less ridicule and mockery, but more respect and affection in their eyes.

Towards Huo Shaoheng, these soldiers were practically gnashing their teeth in anger!

He had extremely high-level military skills, and he had also beat other Foreign Special Forces soldier at an International Special Forces Tournament once.

He was already in a position of power now, and he also had a beautiful and understanding girl as his fiancée to boast as well!

This didn’t make any sense at all!

Don’t people say that you can’t have your cake and eat it too?!

People who have it all are simply too annoying! ! !

No Way! No Way!

With a poker face, Huo Shaoheng didn’t react to the envious and spiteful audience. He didn’t appear cold, but rather calm and collected as he focused his attention on Gu Nianzhi.

He didn’t know how President Poussin’s actions would affect Gu Nianzhi’s mental state, but he knew that at this moment, the whole world was watching.

If Gu Nianzhi lost her composure even the slightest bit, it would be magnified infinitely. In the years to come, it would become a topic of conversation and a source of psychological trauma for her.

Therefore, hoping that she would understand that with him by her side, she had nothing to worry about and nothing to be afraid of, he had been staring at her with a never-before-seen gentle countenance.

Gu Nianzhi had indeed already calmed down some time ago.

When President Pushin held her hand and said his first sentence, she already grasped what Pushin was going to say.

She didn’t flinch, nor did she appear ill at ease, awkward or shy.

She stood next to President Pushin with composure. Her gaze would meet Huo Shaoheng’s from time to time, and she would also occasionally gaze at President Pushin, who was speaking with self-assurance and confidence. She carried herself with such grace and sophistication that it was as if this scene had been rehearsed thousands of times beforehand.

Meanwhile, on Russian television stations and Internet broadcasts, the KGB driver and his boss, Vladimir, were watching the recordings and broadcast videos very closely.

The two of them were getting too personal and biased with the details of Gu Nianzhi’s on-screen appearance.

“Hey, your shot isn’t good. It’s too far away. Cereus’s side profile looks the best at a 45-degree angle. What do you mean by taking a picture of her chin from the bottom up?” The KGB driver was always fooling around in front of Gu Nianzhi, but in front of his staff, he was actuallyy very authoritative.

These people were all afraid of the KGB.

“You! Yes, I’m talking about you! Cereus looked somewhat intimidated when she went on stage moments before. Cut that scene off! Don’t broadcast it! If you dare broadcast it, I’ll have your family thoroughly investigated!”

“And you, when you film our president, you have to include Cereus in it too! Didn’t you see how much our president showered praises upon Cereus? How dare you go against our president’s wishes?!”

“And for the BGM, use a master composer, understand? This footage needs to be properly edited. The president wants to give it to Cereus as a souvenir. If you dare embarass us, watch how I’ll teach you little brats a lesson!”

At this time, Vladimir stood on the side without saying a word. He had the habit of intentionally feigning deafness from time to time.

The staff members responsible for the broadcast were exasperated at the middle-aged driver, but they dared not protest to him. They had no choice but to turn to his superior, Vladimir, to complain.

However, they found that this didn’t work at all. Vladimir looked as if he was in a daze and wasn’t paying any attention to what they were saying at all.

As time went on, everyone came to understand his intentions.

They dared not continue to cause a ruckus, so they obediently filmed Gu Nianzhi as beautifully as they could.

Although she was only on stage temporarily, the angle, lighting, and various backgrounds — even the BGM — were done with world-class level expertise.

And the Russians were indeed very artistically talented. They braced themselves and shot the scene on the podium on an ambitious level that rivaled that of Hollywood blockbusters.

..

President Pushin fell silent for a moment, then he smiled and looked at the audience as he said, “I was very delighted to witness their engagement ceremony. I hope that if there is the chance, I can also attend their wedding and be their witness.”

As soon as the simultaneous interpretation was finished, the audience went wild!

The entire venue erupted in an uproar!

What kind of high-class wedding was this?!

And the Russian president would also be there to serve as a witness?!

Damn!

They had to step up their game and start building good diplomatic relations with the Huaxia Empire in the future, just so they can get a wedding invitation to join in the fun and celebrate.

At this moment, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng were both a little surprised.

They met each other’s eyes silently.

Huo Shaoheng immediately said in Russian, “Thank you, president, for your kindness. Thank you, president. You witnessed our engagement and will witness our wedding again. This is the best wedding gift I can possibly give my fiancée. I hope you will take the time to come.”

President Pushin nodded in satisfaction as he stared at Gu Nianzhi. He smiled and said in English, “What about you, Cereus? Are you willing to let me be a witness to your wedding?”

Gu Nianzhi was already blushing, and she nodded vigorously. “Of course, it would be our pleasure.” She couldn’t help but blurt out, “You really are coming, right? Don’t get our hopes up for nothing… ”

She almost bit her own tongue out of regret as soon as she finished her words.

How could she say such a thing in public?!

This was practically an insult to President Pushin..

However, it was too late for he to regret her faux pas. Her voice sounded through the microphone and reached the audience.

The Special Forces soldiers, who felt shocked just moments before, burst into laughter. They slapped their thighs, whistled, and threw their hats into the air. The venue immediately erupted into a scene of mayhem.

However, no one stopped them. Everyone laughed so hard until tears fell. Even the instructors and team leaders burst into laughter.

President Poshin laughed haertily.

He turned to Huo Shaoheng and said, “I finally understand why you chosed to propose in front of the tomb of the unknown warrior. Without our ancestors to hold the fort, I don’t think you would have been able to take down this sharp and clever young lady.”

Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. She felt extremely bitter yet gratified inside.

In the broadcast area below the podium, the KGB driver and his boss, Vladimir, stared at the small control screen in astonishment.

The driver pinched Vladimir painfully.

“Why did you pinch me?!” Vladimir kicked the driver in retribution.

“Cereus actually dissed our president to his face!” The driver said in a trembling voice, “I want to know whether or not I’m dreaming…”

“Bah! How can you not know yourself whether or not you’re dreaming? Can’t you just pinch yourself?!” Vladimir was so angry that he kicked him a few more times. Then, he took out his phone and posted on his Wechat moments.

[ vladimir-KGB2] : The president was dissed to his face.—— I am a witness to a historical moment.
