Qin Yize finally spoke, his voice hoarse yet magnetic, "Qiaoqiao, do you think this place is good?"
After a brief pause, Gu Qiaoqiao slowly nodded and said, "Good!"
Her starry eyes slightly dimmed, her body dictated her thoughts; at this moment, any words seemed unnecessary.
His cool, moist lips kissed the red lips like a rose petal, lingering and entwined, reluctant to part...
A pair of eyes clear as crystal, under the candlelight, reflected an enticing allure.
At this moment, the flickering candlelight emitted a hazy glow.
Qin Yizeâs eyes were deep and heavy; he had waited too long for this day.
Yet, he didnât know that for this day, he had prepared for two lifetimes and waited for two lifetimes...
Finally, after enduring countless hardships, he awaited this day.
The night on the grassland was tranquil, the night still long, as if the fragrance of flowers floated from the rooftop with the night breeze.
A faint scent permeated the room, inducing a dreamy state of mind.
On the grassland, from the distant horizon, came the soul-stirring yet mournful melody of the horse-headed fiddle.
The moonlight flowed like water, gently enveloping the sky, the grassland, and the Mongolian yurt like a white cloud, in its pure brilliance.
Beautiful as if in a dream, as if their place was not in the mortal world.
All of these things isolated this place, like another world.
......
The night deepened, but neither of them felt sleepy. Qin Yize looked at his wife, fulfillment and happiness were the complete portrayal of his emotions at this moment.
However, he still felt a slight regret.
"Qiaoqiao..."
"...What?" Gu Qiaoqiaoâs voice was lazy.
"I owe you too much."
"Then, repay it slowly..." Gu Qiaoqiao said softly yet playfully.
"What if it canât be repaid in this lifetime?" Qin Yize asked meaningfully.
"Then continue in the next life."
Qin Yizeâs heart warmed; was Qiaoqiao giving him a promise of their next life?
"Qiaoqiao, I believe we have another life. At that time, can we still be together?" Qin Yize held Gu Qiaoqiaoâs hand, speaking hoarsely.
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs eyes like water shimmered with a misty glow; at this moment, she was filled with happiness. They say life spans three lifetimes, if she and her Ah Ze could have another life together, it would be wonderful.
But at that time, it must have a good start.
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs heart turned in countless ways, filled with indescribable yearning yet with a faint sweetness. She lightly asked, "But what if we both drink the soup of forgetfulness and donât recognize each other?"
Unrecognizable, they become strangers.
At the thought of such a possibility, Qin Yizeâs heart ached, "It wonât happen. I will surely recognize you at a glance." He tightened his grip on Gu Qiaoqiaoâs hand, affirming.
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs eyebrows carried a smile; such a topic, suitable yet unsuitable for tonight. It seemed to carry a touch of unique emotion.
Anyway, from now on, this man was hers.
Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, lifted her gaze with a smile, "Ah Ze, are you so confident?"
Qin Yize pinched his petite wifeâs rosy cheeks, "Iâm just that confident."
Then, Qin Yize continued, "Qiaoqiao, give me two more years."
Gu Qiaoqiao was a bit puzzled this time, but due to her fatigue, she weakly asked, "Give you two years for what?"
"I will finish my current work."
"Is it the work at the base?"
"Yes, although Great Grandfather currently manages the Qin Family, it canât always trouble him. Ultimately, I need to take on the responsibility."
Gu Qiaoqiao was genuinely puzzled this time; some developments were different from the previous life.
Yes, in the past life, after Great Grandfather passed away, the Qin Familyâs business began to decline because Qin Yize had no time to manage it, leaving it to the second and third sons and sons-in-law of the Qin Family.
They had their own schemes, leading to the Qin Familyâs assets being fragmented.
At that time, Qin Yizeâs focus wasnât on it; he was in a state of abandonment.
Any heir in his eyes had already ceased to exist.
In the past life, without Elder Shenâs support, he walked a long path of detours, but ultimately, he succeeded.
However, aside from the reputation of a family lineage, the Qin Family was left with only an empty shell.
He had remarkable skills, realizing something was wrong with his body, he solved all the worries for his parents and sister.
During that time, he truly struggled.
Gu Qiaoqiao leaned closer into his embrace, "Whatever you do, I support you."
At this moment, the far horizon revealed faint daylight.
Gu Qiaoqiao was somewhat exhausted and fell into a deep slumber in Qin Yizeâs arms.
But Qin Yize felt somewhat restless, yet he suppressed his desires, knowing there was plenty of time ahead and he didnât want to scare his Qiaoqiao.
Perhaps this was the highest form of love.
Her everything seemed to exist for him, and he also existed for her.
They were born for each other!
Qin Yizeâs expression was one of unprecedented satisfaction and joy.
He also slowly closed his eyes.
The two red candles on the bedside table had completed their glorious mission, melted into pools of red wax, softly scattered in the candle holder, solidifying their once dazzling light into eternity!
Sometimes, everything in the world is wonderfully mysterious.
On such a beautiful candlelit night, one should have sweet dreams.
Yet, when the sky turned bright, and a round red sun burst forth from the grasslandâs edge, Gu Qiaoqiao had a nightmare.
In her dream, she stood at a crossroads, watching helplessly as the restaurantâs ownerâs wife placed poison in the beef noodles she had personally made.
But it wasnât a restaurant.
It was a household.
Right near the restaurant, it should be the ownerâs wifeâs home.
There were the ownerâs wifeâs parents-in-law, her two sisters-in-law, and her husband!
A young woman, the husbandâs cousin, leaned closely against him.
Opposite, was a young man.
At that moment, he was angrily looking at his elder brother and cousin.
Gu Qiaoqiao couldnât move; she felt strange, but she knew it was something that happened a year later.
The young man was the ownerâs wifeâs younger brother-in-law.
The scene shifted, the ownerâs wife calmly deceived the young man away.
Then she entered the house with the beef noodles.
Still appearing meek and submissive as usual.
On her lowered neck, one could see shocking injuries.
These six people smugly finished the beef noodles.
Hurling harsh words, the old woman even slapped the ownerâs wife, who silently lowered her head.
The old woman threw a bundle that had been prepared long ago to the ownerâs wife.
Thinking they could happily drive her away, but unexpectedly, they fell one by one on the ground and on the bed.
