Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Past Life (1)

He personally buried his wife, the woman he loved most in this life!

——

Maybe it was fate, maybe it was destiny.

He still remembers, it was a bright afternoon, he nodded slowly to the girl who was smiling even more brightly than the sunshine, and said, “Alright, I’ll marry you.”

From that moment on, a girl named Gu Qiaoqiao entered his life.

He thought life would be the same as before, he thought it was just one more person on the household register.

He thought he was drinking the fine wine of life, but little did he know it was a heart-corroding poison!

She turned eighteen and completed her mourning period, so he brought her out from Stone Town.

She took a train for the first time.

Excitedly walking back and forth in the carriage.

Her large misty eyes blinked, seemingly filled with curiosity and longing for the direction the train was heading.

Late at night, unable to sleep, she pushed him who was feigning sleep, leaned over from the berth, and the young girl’s delicate fragrance wafted unguarded into his nose, her voice was low and soft, with a hint of coquettishness, “Brother Ah Ze, how much longer until we arrive?”

Back then, she called him Brother Ah Ze.

But because she was shy, she seldom addressed him this way unless necessary.

He glanced at his watch and said indifferently, “Twelve more hours.”

Then there was silence from the opposite side, he thought she fell asleep, but suddenly heard her softly murmur, “Brother Ah Ze, it’s my first time going far away, my first time leaving home, I’m a little scared…”

What was he supposed to say?

Say don’t be afraid?

But wasn’t this the path she was determined to take, no matter what?

What was there to fear?

So, he steeled his heart and didn’t answer.

They finally returned to the Qin Family.

He had a lot on his plate and couldn’t attend to her, leaving her to his family before going off to carry out a mission.

The next time he saw her, it was the eve of the wedding.

He keenly noticed that she seemed to have lost some weight.

With furrowed brows, sitting in a corner of the sofa, her face appeared somewhat pale.

However, the moment she saw him, it seemed all the gloominess was just his illusion; she smiled as brightly as the sunshine.

At that moment, even he didn’t realize that he was actually worried.

In the evening, he listened to his mother’s complaints, and his sister talked about her various faults.

He disliked listening to it.

Impatiently got up and left.

But he didn’t explain anything on her behalf, because he really didn’t understand her and couldn’t say anything.

Grandma liked her very much.

Always holding her hand, telling her stories about the Imperial Capital and the origins of the Qin Family Old Residence.

But as he sat opposite her, he didn’t know what to say.

The next day was the wedding.

Not grand, but not too shabby either.

Those who were supposed to come came, and those who weren’t supposed to, came to watch for amusement.

Fortunately, the ever-smiling Gu Qiaoqiao, wearing a red woolen dress, looked very beautiful as long as she didn’t speak.

Carrying a youthful aura that made his heart tremble.

The wedding was relatively successful.

But just as it ended, he received a call from his superior, commanding him to assemble a special team and rush to Diannan immediately.

It was urgent.

And the mission was classified as top secret, so he didn’t tell anyone.

Including his parents and Gu Qiaoqiao.

He only said to his father, “I have a mission.”

By some strange impulse, he turned to look at Gu Qiaoqiao on one side of the banquet hall, and she too was looking at him.

The fear and unease in her eyes and her pale face made his heart tighten.

But he resolutely turned around, leaving the girl dressed in wedding attire, now his legal little wife, Gu Qiaoqiao, alone in the banquet hall, and then strode away.
