After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Zhong Ning put the washed vegetables into the bowl and then said, "I want Mr. Gu to help me find someone."

Instead of asking him to leave, Gu Xiu immediately exhaled a breath of foul air and asked, "Who is it? Do you have a name?"

"His name is Lu Xingzhou. He's the captain of the Special Operations Team of the 76nd Regiment, 386th Brigade, 702th Group Army. He's probably currently participating in an international military competition abroad..."

Zhong Ning said that she knew the military district number where Lu Xingzhou was located, but she didn't know how to contact him.

Zhang Wanting's birthday is coming soon, and she hasn't seen Lu Xingzhou yet. Although the girl didn't say much, she knew that she still cared about him in her heart.

"Okay, no problem!" Gu Xiu frowned. The other party was a military man, and it was not easy to contact Shan. Fortunately, he had a specific number.

The Gu family and the military have cooperated on certain materials, so they should be able to contact them with some help.

"Is it convenient for me to ask why you are looking for him?" Gu Xiu asked seemingly casually, but his lips pursed into a straight line showed that he was not calm at the moment.

"It's not me, it's Wanting. Her birthday is coming up soon. I hope Lu Xingzhou can come to Shanghai before her birthday. Even if he can't, he should at least give her a call..."

Zhong Ning explained, unpacking the packaged beef and placing it on a plate.

Gu Xiu was satisfied. It turned out that Lu Xingzhou was not Zhong Ning's current boyfriend.

He thought...

Well, he was overthinking it.

But it's no wonder that he would think too much. After this period of contact with Zhong Ning, he roughly understood that Zhong Ning had a precious and innocent heart.

Just like in this modern era where people are afraid to help an elderly person who has fallen, she can climb up a tall building to save people. When she sees danger on the highway, everyone else would avoid it, but she dares to face it.

Although she has this ability, it also shows that she is kind-hearted.

He had seen many capable people, but he had never seen anyone like Zhong Ning, who had never been arrogant and looked down on others because of his own abilities.

She is always humble and polite, neither humble nor arrogant.

Even when faced with a rich young man like him, and the top five diamond ladies gave him flowers and expressed their love, he remained unmoved.

Gu Xiu saw this most clearly, because he had always been targeted by countless women who thought they were beautiful and wanted to get ahead.

This is also why he is so eager to find a business marriage.

In a sense, he didn't hate Zhang Wanting, but he didn't like her either.

He just needs someone to stand on Mrs. Gu's behalf and shield him from all the calculations from the outside world.

But what he didn't expect was that he would meet Zhong Ning.

A person with ordinary background but extraordinary abilities, and most importantly, a pure heart.

This is what attracts him most.

Just as Zhang Wanting said, he is not completely without advantages. At least his face is still of some value to Zhong Ning.

He himself could also feel that Zhong Ning did not have no feelings for him at all, but she rejected him because of their family background or status.

Of course, he was also aware of this feeling, which was mostly due to Gu Mingzhe, but it didn't matter. As long as he was given time, he would be able to drive Gu Mingzhe out of Zhong Ning's heart.

From now on, only Gu Xiu’s position remains!

They were the only two busy people in the kitchen, but Gu Xiu had the rare opportunity to enjoy such leisure time and make a delicious lunch with the person he loved.

This was the happy scene he had always dreamed of.

Now, it has been realized here.

There was a slight clicking sound from the front.

Zhong Ning suddenly raised his head and saw Zhang Wanting holding up her cell phone and taking pictures of the two of them. Zhong Ning felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and was about to yell.

But Gu Xiu suddenly approached and tucked a strand of messy bangs on her forehead behind her ear.

There were several more crackling sounds.

"Zhang Wanting..." Zhong Ning shouted coldly, his eyes blazing with flames. "Do you want to die?"

Zhang Wanting immediately rushed into the room, then poked her head out from behind the door, stuck out her tongue, and said to Gu Xiu, "Brother-in-law, look at her! She's so mean to me!"

Zhong Ning suddenly put down her plate, took off her apron, and was about to rush over, but she saw Gu Xiu suddenly grab her arm and pull her into his arms.

She rested her chin on Zhong Ning's forehead, patted his back with her small hands again and again, and said softly, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Zhong Ning pushed Gu Xiu, nearly knocking him to the ground, but instinctively pulled him back. Considering how hard he worked to cook, he couldn't get angry, so he could only glare at him and say,

"Who allowed you to hug me? If you do it again, I'll be rude to you!"

"Okay, okay...it's all my fault. I offended you just now...please don't be angry, okay? It's all my fault..." Gu Xiu tried to hug her again, as if he was coaxing a child.

Zhong Ning stomped his feet in anger and stepped directly on the instep of his foot.

Gu Xiu instantly doubled over in pain, and Zhong Ning pouted, "Serves you right!"

He turned around, but couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly.

She is not a vegetarian and she never planned to be single. If she meets the right person, she will naturally take action.

The reason why she rejected Gu Xiu was mainly because their status did not match. Her family background would not allow a commoner girl like her to associate with their noble son.

Rather than being obstructed in the future, it is better to cut it off from the beginning.

She is self-aware.

Even if you want to find one, you should find someone who is of equal status.

Just look more pretty and sunny.

Especially after she experienced the life of the rich with Zhang Wanting during this period, every minute and every second could make her feel the gap between ordinary people and the rich.

And the more upper-class the circle, the dirtier things are behind the scenes.

Infidelity, hotel rooms, and illegitimate children are everywhere.

She couldn't guarantee whether Gu Xiu was also a playboy, dating countless girlfriends, and was a complete rotten cucumber.

Although she is not a good person, at least she sticks to her bottom line.

In ancient times, if a woman had no intention of getting married and had a few concubines, it would be fine. But after being arranged to marry and having a husband, she would naturally keep her bottom line before getting married. This is the most basic respect.

But it’s different nowadays.

There are many people who live together or rent a room before marriage.

Gu Xiu is a young man from a wealthy and noble family, with a handsome appearance and unique looks. How could such a person be someone without any emotional experience?

At the dinner table, Zhong Ning was enjoying a delicious dish of braised beef in red wine, but her mind was in a state of confusion. Zhang Wanting noticed her anomaly and quickly started a conversation, saying, "Sister Ning, let me show you something good!"

Zhang Wanting took out her cell phone, enlarged the photo and presented it to Zhong Ning. He had a handsome face and delicate eyebrows. Although his hairstyle had changed, he still looked familiar.

This, this is...
