Chapter 1547: That Face of Yours That Attracts Trouble

Ever since the incident during the Spring Festival when the police were called, Bai Yun has been behaving.

She no longer dares to stir up trouble.

Even though Qin Yize understands all the cause and effect from past and present lives, he can only reluctantly let them be.

One more thing, Bai Yun always avoids Qiaoqiao, so what’s going on this time?

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head and said lazily, "She didn’t cause me any trouble. She wanted me to help her ask Shang Qing out. Isn’t she dating Shang Qing’s third brother, Shang You? They’ve had some issues recently, and she wants Shang Qing to help her..."

"Shang You? Shang You from the Four Divisions, right?" Qin Yize asked.

"Seems like it. I heard from Shang Qing that her brother was transferred back to the Four Divisions last year. He always worked at the grassroots level before. Yeah, he also graduated from a military academy. He seems decent, it’s a bit of a pity with Bai Yun."

Gu Qiaoqiao muttered noncommittally.

Qin Yize pondered for a moment, "Did you arrange a meeting with Shang Qing?"

Gu Qiaoqiao tilted her head, her voice playfully innocent, "Yeah."

Qin Yize squeezed his wife’s soft cheek helplessly, "You silly girl, who doesn’t learn from mistakes, why bother with them?"

"I don’t want to care, but what about Uncle Zhang? I can’t let him feel awkward. Plus, it’s not a big deal; everyone’s grown-ups, it’s just a conversation, it won’t turn into a fight."

If Bai Yun likes Shang You, she’ll definitely change her attitude towards Shang Qing.

If it works out, Bai Yun would be Shang Qing’s third sister-in-law. She has no choice but to accept it.

That’s just reality.

Qin Yize thought for a moment, his eyes deep, recalling the wedding that never happened.

With a faint, inexplicable smile, Qin Yize then said blandly, "I know Shang You, a talented guy, just a bit too arrogant. If he matures a few more years, he’d be good, but he was transferred back a bit early. I saw him at a meeting a few days ago. When you mentioned him, I remembered, the way he looked at me seemed a bit off..."

"Ah?" Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize in surprise but suddenly understood, "What was he like when he saw you before?"

"He was normal before."

"Could he have found out something?"

"Found out what?" Qin Yize asked, pretending to be puzzled.

Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, could it be that Shang You really didn’t know about Bai Yun’s past feelings and actions?

That, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t be sure of.

But she was certain the sudden change in attitude definitely had a reason.

She gritted her teeth, stared angrily, and said with displeasure, "Could Shang You have found out that Bai Yun used to like you and did so many malicious things for you?"

Then she pinched Qin Yize’s cheek and pulled it, saying resentfully, "With that flirtatious face of yours!"

Qin Yize felt wronged.

He grimaced, "Qiaoqiao, I’m innocent, I’m really innocent..."

Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t let go, so Qin Yize leaned over and struggled to give his blushing young wife a few kisses, then patted her hair, his eyes full of gentle amusement.

Gu Qiaoqiao bit her red lip, giggled, but eventually let go of him.

Qin Yize hugged Qiaoqiao, displeased, "Don’t meddle in such trivial matters in the future, okay?"

They’re already so busy every day, why bother with their business?

Especially Bai Yun.

If it were him, he wouldn’t care!

That’s why his Qiaoqiao is such a kind-hearted silly girl.

Gu Qiaoqiao muttered, "But I couldn’t refuse. Besides, Bai Yun is always up to something, and whether it works out or not, some things can’t fall on Shang Qing. Clear it up this time, and I won’t get involved next time. Just this once..."

Gu Qiaoqiao knew she was being a bit too soft-hearted.

But she didn’t sympathize with Bai Yun, nor did she intend to be friends with her. Not kicking someone while they’re down was already kind enough, but she also had her own thoughts.

Gu Qiaoqiao keenly sensed that in this life, Bai Yun and Shang You still wouldn’t end up together.

No matter how much effort Bai Yun put in.

Even if they got married, they’d divorce.

A proud and arrogant person like Shang You could never accept that his wife once loved Qin Yize so much, especially since Qin Yize is his superior.

That’s the conclusion Gu Qiaoqiao reached after hearing all this.

Gu Qiaoqiao really wanted Bai Yun to know that her life was destined to pay for her past actions.

And it would be a hefty price.

You reap what you sow; no one can escape this.

Bai Yun is no exception.

Like she said, even if you die, at least die understanding why.

"Mm, sleep now. I’m off tomorrow; I’ll take you to the coffee shop at noon, then we’ll meet someone in the afternoon..." Qin Yize said softly.

"Who are we meeting?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"A retired friend of mine. After returning to the village, he organized the remaining labor force and formed a construction team. It’s been three years; their skills and quality are top-notch. I’m thinking of letting them handle the building on our ranch. We can start construction now."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes brightened, "That sounds great! We can really plan it out well."

"Yes, when we meet, just share your ideas with him." Without waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to respond, Qin Yize gently patted her back and said softly, "Sleep, Qiaoqiao, we’ll talk more in the morning."

With that, he tightened his arms around Qiaoqiao contentedly and closed his eyes.

Gu Qiaoqiao said nothing more, glanced at the moonlight like flowing water outside the window, feeling the warmth and safety in her lover’s arms, and fell into a sweet slumber.

The next day, they both had a rare chance to sleep in.

After waking up, they did the housework together.

Both worked swiftly, quickly washing the sheets, covers, and clothes.

The drying rack on the roof was filled with their items.

Qiaoqiao arranged everything on the rooftop balcony, while Qin Yize cooked in the kitchen.

Once everything was set, Gu Qiaoqiao stood in the sunlight, squinting into the distance.

A few years ago, this area was still the suburbs.

In recent years, it has developed rapidly, with many buildings erected nearby.

The area has gradually become bustling.

But even so, standing on the rooftop balcony, one can still see the verdant distant mountains at a glance.

And the hills covered in azalea flowers.

It seems this spring has arrived especially early.

Gu Qiaoqiao shielded her eyes from the sun, looking up at the sky, which was a much deeper blue than the city center’s.

Wispy, veil-like clouds drifted lazily.

Today indeed is a fine day.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s mood instantly lifted.

Just then, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly froze.

On the distant horizon, it seemed there was a black hole, with a shadowy figure standing before it.
