Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!

Chapter 168: Merely Joking But He Responded Narcissistically

“Older Brother, I need to step out with the Chief Instructor. I’m helping him collect something.”

Gu Qingmo frowned and asked, “What is it?”

Gu Qingjiu dropped her arms lethargically and replied, “I don’t even know.”

However, she was also curious why the Chief Instructor couldn’t collect the item himself.

Gu Qingmo glanced at his watch and was rather unhappy. “It’s already so late and Mom is asking us to return home. She’ll scold us if we don’t!”

That was merely an excuse. Gu Qingmo wanted Gu Qingjiu to go home earlier.

Gu Qingjiu lowered her head and thought if following her Chief Instructor’s command was an appropriate thing for her to do so.

He Niancheng might be her Chief Instructor, but it was already so late…

Right at that moment, He Niancheng realized that Gu Qingjiu had yet to step outside. He turned around to see what was going on.

He saw Gu Qingmo and Gu Qingjiu speaking to each other.

Gu Qingmo recalled seeing Gu Qingmo before.

After all, when Gu Qingmo came to the military to take Gu Qingjiu away, his choice of words had been strong. He held a grudge against him afterward.

Therefore, he approached them and asked coldly, “What’s wrong?”

Before Gu Qingjiu could speak, Gu Qingmo flashed a smile and answered, “You must be Qingjiu’s Chief Instructor. This might come across as rude, but I still must say it. She is having her vacation now, and it is also already late. My younger sister needs to go home. If this is not urgent, could you find someone else to do it instead?”

He Niancheng instantly understood what he was trying to say.

He slowly gazed at Gu Qingjiu and said in a deep voice, “I just need ten minutes. I’ll send her home. She won’t be hurt in any way.”

His calm tone sounded undeniably stern.

It made them feel oddly stressed out.

However, it was shocking for them to hear him offer such firm assurance.

She didn’t know why the Chief Instructor insisted on making her go, but hearing those words, Gu Qingjiu felt more relieved. “Older Brother, I’ll just go this time round.”

Strictly speaking, Gu Qingjiu had to obey her superiors when she was in the military camp. Hence, as long as He Niancheng’s orders do not go against any other rules, Gu Qingjiu didn’t have a choice.

It was a military order.

He Niancheng was already very patient with him.

Despite his hesitation, Gu Qingmo felt rather pressured as he sensed the dominance of the other man. Nevertheless, hearing those words of assurance, Gu Qingmo still felt more at ease.

As he nodded, he said, “Go.”

Gu Qingjiu then left with He Niancheng.

As they left, they didn’t realize that Su Lingche was near the staircase.

He saw the two of them leaving together. He Niancheng’s back view radiated a high and mighty aura, and it made one feel inferior.

His gaze turned dark all of a sudden.

…

At the underground carpark, Gu Qingjiu sat on the passenger seat of the keep. She couldn’t stop herself from asking, “Chief Instructor, is this so urgent? Am I the only one who can do it?”

She thought that it was odd.

He Niancheng fastened his seatbelt and unexpectedly explained it for her. “I came to China recently. Besides Huo Yingcheng, I don’t trust anyone else.”

He paused before continuing, “If I’m not being picky, I can trust you a little.”

“…”

Those words already explained everything.

It also implied that the thing that they were collecting contained some secrets that they shouldn’t divulge.

Gu Qingjiu was in disbelief, but she still flashed a smile. She blurted out a joke, “Chief Instructor, I feel so honored to have gained your trust.”

Little did she expect He Niancheng to nod his head arrogantly. “I don’t just trust anyone.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

She was merely joking, but he had taken her seriously and even gave her a narcissistic response!
