Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 216 - 215: To Win a Man’s Heart, Conquer His Taste Buds First
How many people are eagerly waiting for Gu Jia Ning to return to the Northwest Military Region, to go back to her department and look for her when they’re sick.
Not only that, in the Northwest Military Region Hospital, in other departments, there is both admiration and resentment towards Elder Chen.
The admiration is naturally because of his abilities, and the resentment, of course, isn’t true hatred, just feeling that Elder Chen is too shrewd.
When Gu Jia Ning first arrived, he took her away directly.
Afterward, he even accepted her as an apprentice.
Now, Gu Jia Ning has given lectures, received awards from above, and become a professor and made it into the newspapers, gaining national fame; it’s such a prestigious matter.
If Gu Jia Ning had been in their department initially, if she had any connection with them, they would also have gained some glory.
-
In the Northwest Military Region, emotions surged, which Gu Jia Ning was unaware of.
She woke up from her nap, and it was already late afternoon.
Sheng Zexi hadn’t returned from training yet.
Grandma Sang had woken up early.
She was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
Gu Jia Ning felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to help.
"Oh, why help? Grandma can handle it herself."
"You go take care of your own things, don’t need to help, just go sit."
Grandma Sang came to the Northwest Military Region specifically to take care of Gu Jia Ning, so how could she have Gu Jia Ning serving her just because of seniority?
Even though back home in Beijing, there were housekeepers sent by the authorities to take care of her and Grandpa.
But Grandma Sang could still cook, and her cooking skills were quite good.
It’s just that she cooks less often nowadays.
Now, because Ningning, her granddaughter-in-law, is pregnant, as a great-grandmother, she naturally wants her to eat well.
Gu Jia Ning was ushered out.
She could only return to the living room and pick up a book to read.
But soon enough, Sheng Zexi came back.
Sheng Zexi also wanted to help in the kitchen but was also chased out by Grandma Sang.
"You just keep Ning girl company, I don’t need you here, it’s almost done."
Sheng Zexi: Alright.
Thus, Sheng Zexi went to the living room couch and chatted with Gu Jia Ning.
Gu Jia Ning talked about her life in Beijing, and of course, mentioned Li Shuyao being arrested in the middle of the night and Mr. Li fainting from anger.
"Regarding Li Shuyao, I’ll contact Zhen Rong and have him keep an eye out for any news." Sheng Zexi said.
"Okay."
Gu Jia Ning looked at Sheng Zexi, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Aren’t you curious how I determined Li Shuyao was the enemy agent?"
Sheng Zexi looked intently at Gu Jia Ning, reached out his big hand, and held hers, "I know, you have your own abilities."
"If you want, you can tell me, if not..." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
If not, Sheng Zexi never pressed her.
Besides, he knew that it was Ningning’s secret.
Since it’s a secret, the fewer people who know, the better, even him.
Gu Jia Ning hesitated for a moment and then said, "If Mr. Hua and the others don’t know where to start in investigating Li Shuyao... they can start with Li Shuyao’s cat."
"Hmm?"
"I... I can understand what that cat says."
Sheng Zexi’s pupils slightly widened, then he looked around, relieved to find no one else was around.
Gu Jia Ning knew his concerns and lowered her voice, "Actually, it’s not just that cat; I can understand all animals."
Sheng Zexi accepted it only after a while.
"No wonder, no wonder I always saw you and Amber communicating as if you were having normal exchanges."
Amber’s thoughts and actions, Ningning understood.
Initially, he thought it was just because they were close, so Ningning understood Amber better.
He didn’t expect the real reason was this.
It was because Ningning could understand animal speech.
Sheng Zexi slightly tightened his grip on Gu Jia Ning’s hand, "Ningning, you haven’t told anyone else about this, have you?"
"No, only you."
"Good, don’t tell anyone."
"Also, any other secrets, just keep them to yourself, and try not to share them with me."
Gu Jia Ning: Okay, this man is really cautious.
But Gu Jia Ning knew that Sheng Zexi’s caution was for her own good.
Gu Jia Ning then recounted what the cat said in the department store.
As for the enemy agent’s mark, Gu Jia Ning didn’t mention that.
But just by listening to what that cat said, it was clear that Li Shuyao was an enemy agent.
Now they just needed to verify.
"I suspect Li Shuyao passed messages through that cat."
That’s why Li Shuyao kept the cat around.
"No wonder..." Sheng Zexi realized.
Using a cat to pass intelligence, those people really came up with it.
Especially, Li Shuyao had the identity of a Li Family member as a cover.
No one would suspect her.
No one could, like Ningning, understand the language of animals and deduce that Li Shuyao was an enemy agent.
"Ningning, it’s fortunate that you discovered this."
If Ningning hadn’t discovered it, who knows how long Li Shuyao would have remained undetected.
Who knows how many missions and confidential messages would have been leaked because of her.
"Ningning, if Li Shuyao’s matter turns out true, you deserve credit."
"If it’s confirmed, when rewards are distributed, you’ll definitely receive one."
Gu Jia Ning rested her chin on her hands, "I don’t really care about the credit, mainly because Li Shuyao has always been hostile toward me."
"Now that she’s caught, I don’t have to worry that she’ll lurk in the shadows and attack me again."
Especially since she would give birth in the future.
She feared Li Shuyao hiding in the shadows, worried that someday Li Shuyao would target her child.
So now that Li Shuyao is captured, it’s good news for her, and she can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Having her caught is eliminating a threat to the country." Gu Jia Ning said with a smile, after all, Li Shuyao was an enemy agent.
Enemy agents are never good.
"Yes, you’ve removed a threat to the country!" Sheng Zexi praised, stroking her head.
At this moment, Grandma Sang came in with dishes.
"Dinner is ready."
"Alright, I’ll get the bowls and chopsticks." Sheng Zexi, being a proactive man, quickly helped with the tableware and served rice for the three of them.
Meanwhile, after tasting Grandma Sang’s cooking, Gu Jia Ning was astonished.
"Ah, Grandma, your cooking is too good, it’s simply god-tier culinary skills."
Grandma Sang was amused by Gu Jia Ning’s compliments, laughing heartily.
"Is it really that good?"
"Absolutely."
And through Sheng Zexi’s storytelling, Gu Jia Ning learned that Grandma Sang had a sensitive palate even when she was young and had a high culinary talent.
The dishes she made were truly delicious.
And Grandpa Sang was pursuing her relentlessly because of her exceptional cooking.
After all, conquering a man’s heart starts with conquering his taste buds.
