Chapter 832: Why Are You Like a Little Housekeeper?

Maybe from now on, Dongfang Yu will never look for Shang Qing again.

But perhaps from now on, Dongfang Yu might have some ulterior motives towards Shang Qing because of his own feelings.

So Gu Qiaoqiao told Shang Qing, no matter what Dongfang Yu does, it’s to repay a favor, nothing else.

With Shang Qing’s intelligence, she should understand her words, right?

Shang Qing’s brow furrowed slightly, then she said, "I don’t need his repayment, nor do I want it."

She’s not lacking anything.

"His repayment to you is just for his own peace of mind," Gu Qiaoqiao added.

Shang Qing fell silent.

Gu Qiaoqiao also didn’t want to continue talking to her.

Some things get more complicated the more they’re discussed.

Plus, she wanted to give Shang Qing space to think for herself. No matter what, with this cause and effect between Dongfang Yu and Shang Qing, he won’t do anything to harm her.

And Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t hidden anything, so currently, Shang Qing was one of those in the know.

She felt a responsibility towards Shang Qing.

What Shang Qing decides to do in the future is her own choice.

She couldn’t interfere too much.

Gu Qiaoqiao patted Shang Qing’s shoulder and whispered, "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m going outside to take a look."

"I’ll go out with you too..." Shang Qing said hurriedly.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded and then led Shang Qing towards the front door.

They were in the hall on the first floor, and outside was a vestibule, beyond which was the courtyard of the villa.

The night was deep, with a round moon hanging above the treetops.

The night breeze was blowing, gently swaying the treetops.

The moon seemed to sway along with them a few times.

Thus, the moonlight was scattered all over the ground, covering the courtyard.

Gu Qiaoqiao saw Qin Yize leaning against a tree by himself, smoking a cigarette.

Gu Qiaoqiao knew he had learned to smoke, but after they reconciled, she hadn’t seen it.

She thought he had quit on his own.

But it turned out he was sneaking smokes.

But that also wasn’t right. When they were being intimate, she honestly didn’t smell smoke on him.

Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, quickly approached, pointed at the cigarette in Qin Yize’s hand, and said, "Didn’t you say you quit?"

Qin Yize saw Gu Qiaoqiao coming over, smiled, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and tossed it aside in the snow, saying softly, "I’ve been smoking for a month already. If I want to quit, it has to be gradual..."

"With your strong willpower, why does it have to be gradual?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked, puzzled.

At this time, Shang Qing stood on the steps of the courtyard, seeing the two of them talking under the tree.

Then she looked around, but didn’t see Dongfang Yu.

Shang Qing knew that with his capabilities, there’s no way he came here by bike.

By now, he must have gone home.

So Shang Qing didn’t want to be the third wheel, and she said, "Qiaoqiao, I’m going back inside first..."

"Hmm, you go back first. I need to wait a while..."

Shang Qing turned around listlessly and returned to the villa.

Qin Yize reached out, pinched Gu Qiaoqiao’s cheek, smiled dotingly, and said, "Why are you acting like a little housekeeper?"

"What little housekeeper, I just don’t like you smoking."

"Alright, I promise I won’t smoke again in the future, okay?"

Qin Yize feigned helplessness but seemed to enjoy it as he agreed.

Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, glared at Qin Yize, then took a step forward, reached into the pocket of Qin Yize’s coat, and started to search.
