In Qin Yizeâs heart, saying he wasnât disappointed would be a lie.
He thought that after what Gu Qiaoqiao had gone through and her admission of having feelings for him, she still loved him.
He believed the two of them would open their hearts and become true lovers, devoted to each other.
Or perhaps even a couple.
But clearly, Gu Qiaoqiao hadnât let go yet.
This girl was too easily embarrassed.
At this moment, she had nothing to say, but when she argued with him, her words came out smoothly.
The words he wanted to hear, this girl would only tell him in times of crisis.
Once everything was calm, she wouldnât mention it at all.
Truly, he had no way to handle her!
Qin Yize sighed helplessly and then lazily leaned back on the sofa.
His legs elegantly crossed.
It was only then that Gu Qiaoqiao remembered Qin Yizeâs injured leg.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at his right leg and asked with concern, "Has your leg completely healed?"
Qin Yize nodded, "Itâs fully recovered."
Afterward, as if worried that Gu Qiaoqiao wouldnât believe him, Qin Yize stood up and did a spin kick, then proudly said to Gu Qiaoqiao, "See?"
The awkwardness that Gu Qiaoqiao felt earlier dissipated a lot.
She gave Qin Yize a glare, "Even if itâs healed, you shouldnât make such forceful movements, it takes a few more days."
Qin Yize shook his head indifferently.
Sat back down on the sofa.
Still lazily leaning on a corner of the sofa.
After all, this posture was very comfortable.
He slowly spoke, "Qiaoqiao, letâs talk about us."
"Whatâs there to talk about us."
"Thereâs too much to talk about for us."
"Why, are you planning to settle scores with me?" Gu Qiaoqiaoâs eyes shifted slightly, her tone hostile.
"Itâs not about settling scores, I just want to know, Qiaoqiao, why donât you trust me?"
She knew he would ask that.
Gu Qiaoqiao did not speak.
Qin Yize continued, "Dongfang Yu is scary, sure, but no matter how scary, heâs not an Immortal. Thereâs always a way to deal with him in this world. And youâve seen, even if you try everything to clear Gu Family and Qin Familyâs connections, Dongfang Yu still wonât let me go."
Qin Yize said this with a hint of grievance.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize, having to admit, Qin Yizeâs words made sense.
In her heart, although she felt Qin Yize was very capable.
She still underestimated him a bit.
Or perhaps was worried it would be like in the past life.
Not only affecting him, but implicating the entire Qin Family as well.
This was a hurdle Gu Qiaoqiao couldnât get over in her heart.
As for matters of the past life, Gu Qiaoqiao had no words to speak of.
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs eyes, like cut water gleaming with ripples.
She bit her lip, sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
Her gaze fell on Qin Yize, who was focusedly looking at her, and she softly said, "If it was just affecting you alone, it might be okay, but I donât want to implicate the entire Qin Family..."
"Do you really not want to implicate the Qin Family, and itâs not just about not wanting to affect me?" Qin Yizeâs eyes lit up, suddenly asking seriously.
"Is this important?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow.
"Of course itâs important." Qin Yize stressed.
"My greatest concern is not to implicate the Qin Family." Gu Qiaoqiaoâs tone was also serious.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yize felt much better.
At the very least, in Gu Qiaoqiaoâs heart, she considered him part of the family.
She didnât exclude him.
Although this kind of protection warmed his heart.
The past distrust did leave Qin Yize a bit saddened.
