Chapter 174 Mission
Hearing Su Xiangwan casually introduce the hobbies and interests of her two older brothers, Gu Yanfei's eyes widened in disbelief.
Is the Su family's education always this abnormal?
It's surprising to think that Su Xiangwan is not only good at painting, but also speaks several languages.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, sister-in-law, what are you good at?"
Su Xiangwan rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Well, I know a little bit about all sorts of things!"
Gu Yanfei was taken aback: "What do you mean, 'a little bit of everything'?"
It can't be what she thinks, right?
"She knows a little bit about everything, but isn't particularly proficient in anything." After all, she's the most pampered child in the family!
So when her two older brothers went out to play, they liked to take her with them, and sometimes they even took her along to play together.
If you are exposed to it often enough, you will learn a little bit about it.
However, none of them can compare to her two older brothers.
"My God! Sister-in-law, you are really amazing!" Gu Yanfei looked at Su Xiangwan in disbelief.
Then he glanced at Gu Yanxiao sitting to the side.
"I suddenly feel that my brother is really lucky to have married you, sister-in-law. I truly believe now that my brother doesn't deserve someone as perfect as you. Have you ever thought about finding someone else... uh..."
Before she could even utter a joke, Gu Yanfei was met with a death stare from Gu Yanxiao.
"If you feel too bored, you can go out into the yard and shovel the snow!"
Gu Yanxiao looked at his troublesome younger sister with annoyance.
He actually tried to persuade his wife to change husbands. It's been too long since we've dealt with him, so he's itching for a beating.
"Hey bro, I was just kidding, please don't take it seriously. I'm leaving now, I won't bother you and your wife anymore..."
With that, Gu Yanfei stood up and prepared to leave.
As I passed the sofa, I suddenly heard the phone ring.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly answered the call.
Sure enough, it was Su Xiangbei who called.
"Second Brother..." Gu Yanfei called out happily upon hearing this.
"Yan Fei, the New Year is almost here. Is there anything you'd like as a New Year's gift?"
Su Xiangbei's voice came through the telephone line, carrying a hint of alluring tenderness.
"A New Year's gift? I don't really want anything."
Gu Yanfei shook her head, unable to recall what she wanted.
At home, there is nothing lacking in terms of food, clothing, daily necessities, or anything else.
Hearing Gu Yanfei's words, Su Xiangbei chuckled and then said, "In that case, I'll choose a gift for you myself!"
"Second brother, I really don't need a gift." Gu Yanfei blushed as she heard his soft laughter and said in a low voice.
"Really? But I think you'll like the gift I'm giving you this time." Su Xiangbei's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic tapping sound.
"Oh? What if I don't like it?" Gu Yanfei became interested after hearing his words and deliberately spoke up.
"Hmm, that is a problem. How about I pack myself up and send myself over to you?" Su Xiangbei joked.
"Okay! Then you come!" Gu Yanfei rolled her eyes and agreed immediately.
Su Xiangwan listened to their somewhat childish conversation and shook her head with amusement.
After the two finished talking, the phone call was switched to Su's mother.
As always, the first thing I did was ask if Niannian had gone to sleep.
Upon learning that there were no more microphones available, Su Xiangwan, following the rules, gave up her place and handed the microphone to Nian Nian, who could only make random "ah ah" noises.
On the American side.
Su Xiangnan watched as Su Xiangbei handed the microphone to his mother, then went to the balcony alone and lit a cigarette.
He began, "I thought you were going to tell her the truth."
Su Xiangbei chuckled and said, "Brother, I'm not someone who doesn't know what's important."
This mission is of utmost importance, and absolutely no information can be revealed before it is completed.
"How about I go on this mission? After all, I'm more skilled than you."
Su Xiangnan frowned, looking at Su Xiangbei's bespectacled and refined appearance, and felt quite uneasy.
"Big brother, have you forgotten your identity?" Su Xiangbei shook his head, the mist swirling around his fingertips making his face appear even more exquisite and alluring.
He smiled faintly: "We can do without me here, but we absolutely cannot do without you! Brother, don't forget, our motherland has just weathered many storms and is riddled with holes. It needs a strong boost. Brother, for our motherland and our people, we must continue to work hard!"
Looking at his younger brother, whose smile was as gentle and elegant as ever, but whose gaze was actually firm.
Su Xiangnan knew that he couldn't persuade him.
All she could do was pat him on the shoulder and say, "Promise me you'll take good care of yourself!"
The capital city.
Ever since the last phone call ended, Gu Yanfei had been secretly looking forward to the gift Su Xiangbei had mentioned.
As time went by, day by day.
The New Year atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.
That day, Gu Yanxiao had just finished training the special forces team and was preparing to go home.
But Huo Chang'an called him over with a phone call.
"Commander."
Gu Yanxiao knocked on the door and entered, bowing respectfully.
"Yan Xiao, there is a mission that requires you to personally lead a team."
Huo Chang'an looked at Gu Yanxiao with a solemn expression and spoke.
"Sir, what's the mission?"
Gu Yanxiao asked.
Huo Chang'an handed him a top-secret document: "This is a top-secret mission, and it must not be leaked in the slightest."
After reading the contents, Gu Yanxiao was both surprised and delighted: "Commander, I guarantee I will complete this mission."
"These are the team members assigned to you after the organization's discussion. Take a look at the list."
Gu Yanxiao took the document, and his expression changed after he saw the list on it.
Then he said, "Sir, I accept most of the people here, but this person... I refuse to take him on this mission."
Huo Chang'an looked at the name Gu Yanxiao was pointing to—Gu Yanfeng—without the slightest surprise.
Sure enough! He had already told Lao Feng that Lao Gu was unreliable and that he shouldn't give in to old feelings and agree to his request. But Lao Feng is so easily swayed!
Old Gu cried and begged for a bit, and then he couldn't help but agree. Now look what happened! Gu Yanxiao would never agree to that.
"This..." He coughed lightly and said, "This was sent in by Chief Feng at the request of your grandfather."
"Commander, this mission is of great importance, and Comrade Gu Yanfeng has a precedent of abandoning his teammates. I'm not comfortable taking him on this mission!"
Gu Yanxiao's expression remained unchanged: "If the commander insists on having Gu Yanfeng participate, then I have no choice but to refuse this mission!"
