But then she recalled the fleeting tears in Liang Yanâs eyes she noticed that morning. Had Liang Yan regretted her decision?
Perhaps.
A good man like Master Fong is hard to find.
But thatâs their business, and no one could interfere.
Glancing at the time, Qin Yize shifted the topic and hurriedly took Gu Qiaoqiao to Gu Garden.
His time was different from the average personâs, and there was much to do in just one day off.
When they arrived at Gu Garden, Great Grandfather had returned early, along with a smiling Uncle Gu.
Knowing that the two of them finally got their marriage certificate relieved everyone.
Aunt Zhao Yuxiang wanted to see the marriage certificate, startling Gu Qiaoqiao, but fortunately Great Grandma talked about something else to change the subject.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly took her handbag and went back to her room.
Leaving Qin Yize alone with the members of the Gu Family in the living room.
In fact, everything was just like before.
Even in the days when the two were apart, Lian Yuhong never felt anything unfamiliar.
Now that things were finally settled, Lian Yuhong felt entirely at ease.
Whatâs left is much simpler; once Qin Yize is done with this period, she can pack her daughter up and have her move to the Qin Family Old Residence.
When they first got married, back home, they held a wedding according to North traditions, and itâs said the ceremony in the Imperial Capital was extremely grand and magnificent as well.
So Lian Yuhong didnât want to hold a second wedding for her daughter.
After all, among the new friends sheâs made, most didnât know the couple had divorced.
To hold another wedding would mean explaining this and that to these people, which would be a headache for Lian Yuhong.
The daughter is marrying the same person after all.
As long as her daughter is happy, itâs enough.
Besides, Qin Yize said he had his own arrangements.
So, they left him alone.
Thus, the dinner table was also filled with laughter and joy.
But the one difference was that Xiao Wen seemed to have some concerns.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought she should ask after sending Qin Yize off later.
Because Xiao Wen, who was always optimistic and cheerful, suddenly became so quiet, which was unusual.
After dinner, Qin Yize chatted with Gu Qiaoqiaoâs father, Gu Tianfeng, for a while, then stood up to say goodbye to the Gu Family members. Gu Qiaoqiao escorted Qin Yize out the Gu Gardenâs gate.
The two stood at the entrance.
Under the night sky, the neon lights blinked in the distance, and the whole city was lit.
The day flew by, as if in the blink of an eye.
Hand in hand, they walked toward where Qin Yizeâs car was parked.
As they walked, Gu Qiaoqiao gently reminded Qin Yize to be careful on missions, to take care of himself, not to forget to eat when busy, and so on, all discussing the importance of health...
Her words were jumbled, without much logic or central theme, speaking whatever came to mind.
Yet Qin Yize cherished this rare warmth.
With a smile on his lips, he listened silently, occasionally responding with a nod.
Arriving at the jeep, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly recalled something and said, "Ah Ze, I want to visit Ling Nanâs hometown in the Southwest in a few days."
"Ling Nanâs hometown?" Qin Yizeâs brows furrowed slightly.
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs eyes sparkled, she nodded and said, "Yes, itâs Ling Nanâs hometown, the anniversary of Ling Nanâs grandfatherâs death is coming, he wants to visit his grandfatherâs grave..."
