Reborn As Super Heiress

After receiving Gu Xu’s call in the evening, Huo Sining quickly shared the good news with the Gu Family’s old residence.

Everyone over there breathed a big sigh of relief, and Mrs. Gu almost choked up on the phone.

When Gu Xu was in trouble, everyone in the family kept it from Master Gu and Mrs. Gu, fearing that the elderly couldn’t handle the bad news. Now knowing Gu Xu escaped safely, the stone hanging in everyone’s heart finally fell.

”Tuantuan Yuanyuan, what a good name for our granddaughter. Her father was truly blessed by her this time; surely she’s protecting him for a safe return!”

Mrs. Gu kept reciting this over the phone, clearly quite shaken by the ordeal her son went through, even resorting to superstitious beliefs.

It’s worth noting that the Gu Family is a red family that strictly adheres to atheism, especially Master Gu, who always advocates science and is deeply influenced by first-generation leadership thoughts, least believing in superstitions.

Due to Master Gu’s demeanor, three generations of the Gu family are upright and rigorous, most intolerant of superstitions. So for Mrs. Gu to say something so unscientific, if Master Gu were to hear it, he would surely reprimand her.

However, what Huo Sining didn’t expect was that Master Gu did overhear Mrs. Gu’s words. Surprisingly, even Master Gu nodded repeatedly, quite satisfied with his great-granddaughter Yuanyuan’s name, and even said, ”Yes, indeed blessed.”

Everyone was surprised but then showed a knowing expression.

Master Gu didn’t show much fear or anxiety, but it was evident he understood the danger Gu Xu had faced.

But think about it, everyone in the old residence had tense faces during this period, the atmosphere was tight, even the fun-loving Mrs. Gu stopped going out, stayed home, clung to the landline, and often checked her mobile with a worried expression as if the sky were falling. Even if Master Gu were the dullest, he couldn’t miss this.

Plus, he already knew about Gu Xu’s mission recently, and just a little thought would deduce what happened.

Master Gu had come back from blood and fire, bullets and shells on the frontline battlefield, experienced the harshest war. The old man long honed a calm heart amidst peril. Though he felt worried for Gu Xu, he wasn’t afraid.

Whatever the outcome, he believed it was rightful.

If his grandson truly faced tragedy, it would be sacrificing for the nation, living up to the Gu surname. Master Gu would only feel pride for his grandson.

Of course, upon hearing the call from his granddaughter-in-law, learning that his grandson was safe, he was naturally happier, hitting his cane on the floor repeatedly, grinning widely: ”Good, good. Indeed worthy of my Gu Changshan’s grandson! Didn’t disgrace the old man!”

Early in the morning, Huo Sining woke up with twitching eyelids, she couldn’t help but joke with Yue Shuwen: ”Left eye twitching means good luck, right eye means disaster. What does it mean when both twitch?”

Before Yue Shuwen could speak, Niuniu jumped in to answer: ”It means mixed emotions; both good and bad.”

Huo Sining was silent, she vaguely guessed what was happening.

Sure enough, by ten o’clock, roaring sounds came from outside, a Hummer rumbled straight into their yard, and a man jumped out from the passenger side, barging in with imposing momentum.

Seeing that figure through the curtains, Huo Sining couldn’t help but smile slightly, knowing the man came to confront her. She decided to act clueless, sitting by the bedside, pretending nothing happened.

Gu Xu originally came to demand an explanation, but upon entering, seeing his wife sitting by the bed, head wrapped in a headscarf, holding a chubby, sweetly sleeping little girl, his tiny bit of anger vanished like a punctured balloon.

His expression softened instantly, intuitively moving forward, grinning: ”Wife, I’m back. Is this our daughter?”

Huo Sining snorted, deliberately turned her head away, ignoring him.

Just as Gu Xu was about to speak, Ouyang Jun’s loud voice came from behind: ”Sister-in-law, if you’re still upset, let Xu Zi kneel on durian. If one’s not enough, I’ll buy more. Look, I’ve got the durian ready!”

Saying this, the guy rushed in from the door, holding a spiky green durian in hand.

Looking at the durian, then at Gu Xu’s face of trying to please, Huo Sining couldn’t help but laugh: ”Get out of here, shameless! Your thick skin’s getting thicker!”

Gu Xu wasn’t embarrassed at all, chuckling: ”With one’s wife, there’s no talk of thick skin—already not needed!”

”Stop babbling, don’t think you can just let this slide! Kneeling on durian’s too light a punishment; don’t think of muddling through!” Huo Sining glared, pretending to scold.

Gu Xu nodded: ”Alright, you decide, wife. You say east, I won’t dare go west; just point and I’ll act.”

Huo Sining smirked, her gaze circling Gu Xu’s face, she suddenly thought of something, pointed at the little girl in her arms, and smiled:

”How about this, change our daughter’s diaper first!”

Just that simple? Gu Xu was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on, nodding in agreement.

Yet, what seemed simple initially, turned not so when Gu Xu took over.

A dignified Falcon Commando King, accustomed to defending the nation, skilled in combat and marksmanship, excels naturally with confidence. But changing a diaper for a child was a first for this tough man—like a lady riding a sedan for the first time.

Gu Xu held the new diaper, staring at the soft little creature, a fluffy thing like a caterpillar, momentarily helpless, not knowing where to start.

He instinctively looked up towards his wife, seeking help, not anticipating she was determined to tease him this time, not intending to help, deliberately turned her head pretending not to see, side-eyeing him, as if saying ”I’m just watching, you go ahead.”

Yue Shuwen and Ouyang Jun stayed in the room, looking on with a mischievous air, seemingly waiting to see him embarrassed.

Gu Xu felt overwhelmed with two heads, forcing himself to tough it out.
