Huo Weiwu tried to shove him, but he was far out of her weight class. Her eyes widened in anger, glaring into his unmoved expression.

As the two of them were too near to each other, she almost went cross-eyed from trying to stare at him.

Huo Weiwu shut her eyes.

Gu Haoting knitted his sharp brows and sucked on her lips as though he wanted to devour them. His teeth scraped gently against her lips, as if he couldn’t wait to swallow her whole.

In the past, it hadn’t mattered who he was engaged to. He never felt anything for his fiancées, even when they passed away mysteriously. He maintained his standards of impassiveness, ruthlessness, and indifference. He had never cared before, but now, he did.

Gu Haoting released her lips and retreated a few centimeters. He asked coldly, “Remember, we’ll still be married even if our wedding is a quiet affair. You can never back out of a military wedding through divorce, so don’t do anything you’ll regret. Do you understand me?”

Huo Weiwu gazed inquisitively at Gu Haoting.

He had implicitly agreed to conduct a low-key wedding. His change in attitude came suddenly, which made her mind buzz.

The buzzing in her mind was suddenly overwhelmed by the sounds of a helicopter coming from outside the apartment, though.

Huo Weiwu frowned. “Did you send another helicopter here? It’s going to disturb my neighbors.”

“How else could they possibly have gotten here in ten minutes?” Gu Haoting asked, as though this was the most natural thing in the world. He rose, asking, “Can your bathroom be used?”

“Huh?” Huo Weiwu stared at his abdomen.

However, he turned around before she got a clear look and pushed open her bathroom door.

Not long afterward, Auntie Long brought two female maids into the apartment. The two maids instantly started cleaning.

Auntie Long washed some apples, pears, grapes, bananas, and dragon fruit before placing them on the coffee table. A wide smile spread over her face.

Huo Weiwu grabbed a grape and popped it into her mouth. She watched apprehensively as Auntie Long approached her refrigerator and started removing her cans of beer.

“Hey, don’t touch my beer!” Huo Weiwu reminded her.

“In addition to the beer, throw away all the instant food as well,” commanded Gu Haoting as he emerged from the bathroom.

“Gu Haoting, you’re going too far. What right do you have to throw my things away?” Huo Weiwu demanded, her eyes narrowed.

“All that junk food isn’t good for you. That’s why I’m doing this,” said Gu Haoting righteously.

“What am I supposed to eat if you throw everything away!” Huo Weiwu raged.

“Auntie Long will stay here to prepare three meals for you every day. If you don’t like that, you can always move to my place immediately. That’s what you should be doing, anyway,” said Gu Haoting.

Huo Weiwu snickered coldly.

She decided she should just shut her mouth. She collapsed back against the couch and pressed the remote control to switch on the television, attempting to ease her present frustration.

Gu Haoting adjusted his expensive clothes. With an expressionless face, he commanded, “I’ll be back tonight. Wait for me here. I’ll take the helicopter so you can use the car.”

Huo Weiwu didn’t like being micromanaged. With her eyes still on the television screen, she replied distractedly, “I have a car.”

“Your car’s too unsafe. I need to make sure that you’re protected,” responded Gu Haoting in a way that clearly left no room for rejection.

Huo Weiwu was no longer calm. She asked darkly, “You don’t even have a license plate on your vehicle—what if I get arrested by the police while I’m driving your car? Do you think I’ll have a safe night being locked up in prison?”

“Lieutenant Shang will install a license plate for you. Just give me a call if you need anything,” Gu Haoting snarled. He opened the door and left.

Huo Weiwu gave the trash can a forceful kick to express her personal displeasure at being bossed around like this.

Auntie Long came over to put the trash can back in its place. With a smile, she said, “Madam, please don’t be angry. Lieutenant Shang came here with me, and he has already installed the license plate for you.”

Huo Weiwu felt slightly embarrassed when she saw Auntie Long’s smiling face. “If I kick the trash can again, I’ll clean up after my own mess.”

“Sure,” said Auntie Long.

“This feisty girl may look fierce,” Auntie Long thought, “but she’s actually very kind at heart.”

Huo Weiwu went to see the Hummer vehicle’s license plate. It was “NB111.”

“Why didn’t he change it to 74110!” she thought.

Huo Weiwu was so angry she thought she was about to see red.
