Chapter 231: Chapter 231 I Never Thought of Remarrying (Added Chapter) Chapter 231: Chapter 231 I Never Thought of Remarrying (Added Chapter) Qin Yize cracked a slight smile, his eyes gleaming even more brilliantly.

“After you divorce me, do you plan to marry someone else right away?” Qin Yize’s voice continued to echo softly in the car.

However, this sentence seemed to carry a malevolent energy that was different from before.

And the air also became somewhat stagnant.

It’s just that neither of them had noticed.

What marrying someone else—I wouldn’t marry again even if I were divorced.

Having used up the effort of two lifetimes to marry once was already enough.

She suddenly shook her head, “No, how could I!”

The stagnant air began to flow slowly again.

Qin Yize’s gaze softened, “Since you’re not in a rush to marry someone else, then let’s wait another year. We’ll go through the procedures after one year.”

Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback and blurted out, “Why?”

“Because this year is a critical period for my work. Regardless of the reason for my divorce, it will affect my job, and you wouldn’t want me to break my promise to Elder Shen, right?”

“How could that be, you’re making it sound too serious,” Gu Qiaoqiao said in disbelief.

With the status of the Qin Family and Qin Yize’s capabilities, how could such a thing happen?

“The taller the tree, the stronger the wind it attracts. You understand that, right?”

“Yes, I understand… but…”

“No buts. There are too many people in this world who want to climb higher, and I am too young. Hence, many people who are older than me and believe they have put in more effort than I have, find my presence like a fishbone stuck in the throat. Given the chance, they will naturally seize it, hoping to knock me down in one fell swoop so that I can never rise again.”

Qin Yize spoke calmly, half in jest and half in earnest.

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes.

What he said was true; she knew from her previous life that Qin Yize was even reported before.

But that happened three years later.

Now he had left Border City so early and even transferred to the command center of the Imperial Capital Base, a place where countless people would do anything to get in.

Not only had he made it in, but he had also entered the power center of the base’s command. Those who envied him must be seeing red by now.

Gu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

She felt inexplicably that continuing this entanglement might be dangerous.

Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression and continued, “I know that Qiaoqiao is a kind and good girl, definitely not wanting to see me end up in such a plight. So, during this year, if you find someone you like and want to marry him, I’ll go with you to the procedures right away. Is that okay?”

His words sounded so familiar.

It seemed she had said the same thing to him as well.

Gu Qiaoqiao finally spoke up, “Alright then.”

A flicker of emotion crossed Qin Yize’s eyes.

She felt something was wrong again and continued, “You’re overthinking it. I’ve never thought about marrying again. Let it be one year then. Once you’re stable, we’ll go through the procedures.”

She had never thought about marrying again?

Qin Yize was smart enough not to continue on this topic, but he felt a pleasant surge in his heart as he extended his palm toward Gu Qiaoqiao, “Come on, let’s make a pinky promise.”

Gu Qiaoqiao stretched out her hand, and Qin Yize’s palm slowly approached, lightly tapped it, and then turned to grasp the steering wheel.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, looking straight ahead, and said word by word, “Let’s go home.”

The jeep headed towards the direction of the Imperial Capital once again, rolling slowly forward.

Although the sun had already set and the sky was growing dark,

Qin Yize felt as if he could see the dawn’s first light on the horizon.

But Gu Qiaoqiao always felt that something had quietly changed.

Was this change for better or worse?

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, never mind, she wouldn’t think about it anymore, especially since that wasn’t the most important thing at the moment.

Moreover, she trusted Qin Yize.

In this lifetime, they were both on guard, it wouldn’t be so easy for Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng to do anything.

And, it was very likely they would lift a rock only to drop it on their own feet.

Just like Gu Yajing.

Thinking this, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression lightened.

In the corner of his eye, Qin Yize saw the gradual easing of the girl beside him, and he quietly exhaled a sigh of relief.

The army green jeep disappeared in the blink of an eye into the vast twilight.

…

The next morning.

In a hospital room in the Imperial Capital.

An Xiaotong slowly opened her eyes.

Through somewhat blurred vision, she saw a young man with lowered eyes and eyebrows, holding a book.

But he hadn’t turned a page for a long time.

Was it Du Tian?

An Xiaotong gently sat up.

Her slight movements still woke Du Tian, who’d been pretending to sleep.

He abruptly opened his eyes.

When he saw An Xiaotong, who had already sat up, his eyes instantly brightened.

“You’re awake?”

He then began to stand up so hurriedly that he made a loud noise with the chair underneath him.

He quickly steadied the chair and rushed out of the room.

Soon, a doctor and nurse arrived, and after examining her, they nodded at Du Tian with a smile, “She’s fine. After observing for one more day in the hospital, she can be discharged.”

“Thank you, Uncle Qian,” Du Tian said with a beaming smile.

Doctor Qian waved his hand, “It’s what I should do, now, you take care of her and have her drink some water…”

“Yes, I understand.”

Doctor Qian left with the nurse.

Just as An Xiaotong was about to speak, Du Tian, with one hand on his hip and the other pointing at An Xiaotong, reprimanded her with deep frustration, “You’re so foolish, so daft, making the same mistake twice, you could eat a hundred beans and still not taste them, are you a child? You went to meet Gu Qiaoqiao, how could you get into someone else’s car, don’t you have a brain, do you have to get kidnapped to learn your lesson? Do you know, if Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t noticed something was wrong, you’d already be in some mountain far away…”

A mist appeared in An Xiaotong’s eyes, and suddenly she burst into tears.

The helplessness of being deceived, the despair and fear before losing consciousness, overwhelmed her.

She cried intermittently, “In the car, there was your neighbor Fang Yueqin, she had blood on her, and said she was in a car… an accident with you, that you were badly injured, on your last breath, and wanted to see me… one last time, in my urgency… I… sob…”

Du Tian froze all of a sudden.

All the anger turned into a myriad of tender feelings.

He walked over, gently embraced An Xiaotong, patting her back, and said with a choked voice, “Silly girl, didn’t you used to tell me to go die? Why care whether I live or die now…”

Yet his eyes filled with chilling darkness. Fang Yueqin?

She was the one who deceived Xiaotong?

Could it be that she was in league with human traffickers?

Definitely.

With that thought, Du Tian, still holding An Xiaotong with one hand, picked up the phone from the bedside table with the other and dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, he said in a dark tone, “Chengfeng, I need you to do something for me, get Fang Yueqin under control and don’t let her escape…”

On the other end of the phone, Chu Chengfeng figured, this must be the information An Xiaotong provided after waking up.
