Chapter 1667: A Bit Reluctant

This battlefield is a brand new one for Qin Yize.

And his favorite thing is to tackle all kinds of challenges.

More importantly, he will have more time at home with Qiaoqiao.

Speaking of home, Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao’s home is currently in the base headquarters compound. If Qin Yize leaves the base, this house will inevitably have to be returned. The Qin Family and Gu Family have many houses, but even without a house, even if the leaders agree, they won’t continue living here.

After getting off work in the evening and returning home, Qin Yize talked to Gu Qiaoqiao about some conversations he had with Elder Shen today. Before this, he had already reached a consensus with Qiaoqiao, but there are many things he really needs to discuss with her, as this will be the most significant turning point in their lives.

In this aspect, there is no future vision. Even having memories of two lifetimes is of no use, so for them, it’s a completely new beginning. Gu Qiaoqiao feels that she doesn’t know the future, but instead carries more anticipation.

It’s like a poor person hoping for their days to become rich. Although he doesn’t know when he will become wealthy, he has hopeful visions for the future, dreaming and fantasizing about how he will become rich.

If things were reversed and the poor person knew he would still be poor fifty years later, how would it be?

Perhaps defying fate.

Perhaps going with the flow. It’s hard to imagine.

Regarding Qin Yize’s work matters, Gu Qiaoqiao doesn’t need any understanding. The most frequent topic between the two of them currently is the current house.

Gu Qiaoqiao calculated the time; it is already late September. That means they can only live in the base compound house, where they have lived for more than a year, for another three months before they have to return it.

Although they didn’t extensively renovate initially, they did follow their own desires.

At present, the lights are gradually coming on. The laboratory building at the base is usually brightly lit, but today, only one or two lights are on.

Because of a successful project, Qin Yize gave these people a day off. To achieve good work results, one must have a good body, ensuring enough rest and sleep. Given the conditions, one should also spend time with family. No one comes out of a crack in a rock; these people are the backbone, rare talents.

A large portion of people’s families are here. No surprise, some may work here for a lifetime.

So, today they are all on holiday.

This time, the family area is a bit lively. Entering September, although the night is a bit chilly, it’s a good season with suitable temperatures. Many people take their children and wives out for a stroll.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize didn’t go out but moved from the first floor to the second floor. They’ll soon move out, and they are truly reluctant, but life is like this, like a journey with one station after another, where you can linger briefly but it’s not the final harbor.

The two stood on the rooftop terrace, which Qin Yize had surrounded with a railing. Last time, Gu Qiaoqiao nearly lost her footing and fell off the building. Qin Yize was always worried. The next day, he enclosed it with iron railings. A canopy was also built here for shelter from the wind, to dry clothes and bedding. Standing on the rooftop, they could also look into the distance.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize next to her, and Qin Yize looked at Qiaoqiao, stretching out his hand to rub his petite wife’s hair; his voice sounded clear in the night breeze, "This time, let’s move directly to the Qin Family’s Courtyard. Great Grandfather is old now and can’t be without family around."

Qin Yize’s words didn’t surprise Gu Qiaoqiao. This was within her expectations, maybe this is what Old Master Qin meant by not letting others come close over the years. As he becomes elderly and weak, his most beloved grandson will bring his wife to live at the Qin Family’s Courtyard to inherit everything of the Qin Family.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled gently, "I like the Qin Family’s Courtyard. It’s spacious and grand, with the most characteristic northern-style courtyard. And you’re right, Great Grandfather indeed needs someone to take care of him."

"Qiaoqiao, I’m happy you like the Courtyard." Qin Yize smiled, his eyes filled with joy.

"Ah Ze, does Great Grandfather know?"

"It hasn’t been decided yet, so I haven’t told him. I don’t want him to end up disappointed if things don’t go as planned."

In this world, nothing is 100%.

Unexpected events and uncertainties could happen.

Moreover, that’s the truth. It hasn’t been finalized yet; confirmation is needed before it’s mentioned.

"How about the rest of the family?"

Gu Qiaoqiao continued to ask. Would it be that only she was informed?

"Only you know right now. I haven’t told them yet. It’s not too late to inform them once it’s finally decided."

Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, "You’ve made up your mind that they won’t oppose you, haven’t you?"

Under the autumn night sky, Qin Yize’s refined features seemed to take on a celestial glow, as he seriously pondered for a moment, "Yes, they have long hoped I would do this."

Then Qin Yize pulled Gu Qiaoqiao into his arms with a little force, encircling his wife’s slim waist, his expression surprisingly joyful, "We’ll keep it a secret and surprise them when the time comes."

"Okay, I certainly won’t leak this news." Qiaoqiao reached out, "I promise you."

Qin Yize affectionately tapped Gu Qiaoqiao’s nose, then deliberately asked, "How will you ensure it?"

Gu Qiaoqiao tilted her head slightly, "What kind of guarantee do you want?"

Qin Yize casually scooped her up horizontally, looking down at the delicate wife in his arms, his voice hoarse, filled with yearning, "Naturally, a guarantee by action."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s face reddened. She just knew that whenever it comes to such nights, the conversation would always end up here, with the results being the same but the process varied each time. She vigorously hit Qin Yize’s firm chest, coyly, "I realize your face-skinned getting thicker and thicker now."

Qin Yize carried his petite wife strides toward downstairs, speaking calmly while walking, "Having thin skin at such times wouldn’t make one a true man..."

Then the figures of both disappeared at the stairway corner, and the terrace returned to quietness. Only the cold moonlight silently enveloped the place, seemingly clothed in a thin veil, dreamlike and illusory, while the second-floor lights were extinguished. The passionate and lingering night has just begun.

...

A week flowed by quickly like water, and the National Day holiday is about to start soon. Luo Fan has been working overtime these days, busy with his tasks because he has promised Gu Qianqian to take her out during the holiday.

With this thought in mind, work progresses super fast. Elder Luo is unaware and is urging his grandson not to work so hard. If work can’t be completed, you can work overtime during the National Day holiday.
