Dongfang Yu had hurt her severely.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a mix of emotions in her heart.
Dongfang Yu used Shang Qing to hurt her, yet in Shang Qingâs moment of crisis, he used himself as a bargaining chip, only hoping that Shang Qing would wake up safely.
Then live well.
If he hadnât protected Shang Qingâs soul, making his body weak, even if she and Nie Luan joined forces, they might not have caught him.
So, what kind of person Dongfang Yu really is, itâs truly hard to conclude.
But these truths, Gu Qiaoqiao wasnât sure if she should tell Shang Qing.
Xiao Bai slowly stood up, raised its head to look at the two women in front of it, unable to speak or express its emotions at that moment, but truly felt, when these two women harden their hearts, itâs terrifying.
It needs to find a place to be quiet, to think carefully, itâs determined to save its master, and now, the only one who can save its master is Gu Qiaoqiao.
But the fact is, Gu Qiaoqiao would never go to save Dongfang Yu, thereâs no doubt about it.
After all, Dongfang Yu is the enemy of the Gu Family.
Xiao Bai thought, since emotionally, it canât make Gu Qiaoqiao reach out to help, then in terms of interest, it should let Gu Qiaoqiao reach out.
But currently, it seems to have no way at all.
Because as it stands, Gu Qiaoqiao seems to lack nothing.
So Xiao Bai cannot figure out what could be used as a bargaining chip.
With the spiritual energy given by Gu Qiaoqiao just now, its body has already been repaired; for this, itâs still very grateful.
A cat should understand gratitude and repay kindness.
What Gu Qiaoqiao said just now was right, it cannot be like its master; it needs to familiarize itself with the laws of the mortal world, learn how to interact with humans, and learn gratitude, so that it can gain othersâ respect and help.
Because this is no longer the era where a little silver can buy people to be servants.
Xiao Bai looked up at Gu Qiaoqiao, then placed its two paws on the ground, lowering its body and bowing its head to kowtow three times.
Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Xiao Bai has learned manners.
She smiled, but said nothing.
Then Xiao Bai stood up, affectionately rubbed against Shang Qingâs feet a few times, looked at the two women, then turned and ran to the mouth of the alley like a puff of white smoke.
At this moment, it needs to find a place to thoroughly digest the spiritual energy it received and then think carefully about its next steps.
After all, now that Gu Qiaoqiao has returned, there is still hope.
Gu Qiaoqiao and Shang Qing exchanged a glance, then stood up, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled, "Shang Qing, letâs go inside..."
Shang Qing quickly shook her head, "No, you just got back, have a good rest. Letâs go out for a meal another day."
Gu Qiaoqiao didnât insist, knowing Shang Qing still felt a bit embarrassed to see her family, so she said to Shang Qing, "Alright, then letâs call Xiaotong out another day and have a gathering."
Shang Qing nodded, then reached out and hugged Gu Qiaoqiao before reluctantly leaving the alley of Gu Garden.
Gu Qiaoqiao only withdrew her gaze after Shang Qingâs figure was out of sight.
Her brows slightly furrowed, wasnât Nie Luanâs skill too great, even a cat like Xiao Bai with spiritual sense couldnât find Dongfang Yu.
What exactly did he do to Dongfang Yu?
Inviting him for a polite talk over tea was impossible.
Maybe he imprisoned him fearing he might endanger the world.
Another possibility is that Nie Luan is also interested in Dongfang Yuâs indestructible body.
If interested, what will he do next?
Itâs self-evident, that would be research!
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao couldnât help but shiver.
Suddenly, she thought of the Gu Family Ancestor.
In some ways, he was quite similar to Dongfang Yu.
No!
One should say he was much stronger than Dongfang Yu.
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs hand hanging by her side clenched, hoping the Gu Family Ancestor could protect himself, after all, he wasnât as flamboyant and suicidal as Dongfang Yu.
However, Xiao Wen said she would inquire about it.
Better to ask.
For some matters, especially those related to the Mystic Sect, itâs better to have a grasp on the situation.
Gu Qiaoqiao turned and walked towards Gu Garden.
Early the next morning, Qin Yize came to Gu Garden; he was going to take Qiaoqiao to the Qin Family Old Residence.
Gu Qiaoqiao naturally bought gifts for the Qin Family.
This day was a Friday.
Shen Manru and Qin Xuan both went to work, after all, with summer break approaching, everyone was busy with exams, moreover, they would have the afternoon off the next day, so there was no need to take leave.
Besides, Qiaoqiao wasnât a guest.
She was family.
Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao chatted with Grandma Qin for a while before Grandma Qin happily went shopping.
No need for Qin Yize or Gu Qiaoqiao to accompany her.
She said she needed to exercise, and shopping was one of her workouts.
Gu Qiaoqiao found it reasonable; being more active was beneficial.
So she didnât obstruct but followed Qin Yize into their room.
The place was still clean and bright.
Though not cleaned daily, there was scarcely any dust buildup.
In a vase on the coffee table were several sprigs of white blooming gardenias.
Clearly freshly cut branches.
Obviously, Shen Manru cut them from the garden knowing Qiaoqiao would return.
The fragrance of gardenias, elegant and fragrant, filled the living room silently, a scent that made one forget the mundane.
Gu Qiaoqiao bent down to sniff, then looked up with a sweet smile, "Gardenias smell really good."
At this moment, the room had only the two of them.
Qin Yizeâs eyes darkened, he reached out and took Gu Qiaoqiaoâs hand, with a slight force, pulled her into his arms.
Their eyes met, an affectionate emotion filled the space between them along with the floral scent.
Qin Yize held Gu Qiaoqiaoâs waist, lowered his head, and slowly leaned towards Gu Qiaoqiaoâs lips, stopping just a few centimeters away.
He said deeply and meaningfully, "Qiaoqiao, you are the sweetest flower in the world."
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs cheeks instantly blushed, and before she could speak, Qin Yizeâs lips covered hers.
Silencing her gasp.
Indescribable tenderness and love, a gentle and utmost deep kiss, as if there was no third person in this world besides them.
Though they had kissed countless times, every time felt like the first, mesmerizing and heart-racing...
It wasnât until the clock on the wall chimed that the two lovebirds were awakened from their tenderness.
Reluctantly parting, Qin Yize pressed his forehead against Gu Qiaoqiaoâs, after a moment, as their breathing calmed, Qin Yize suddenly said, "Qiaoqiao, itâs the most beautiful season on the prairie now."
