Why am I so lucky? Back then, just a casual point and I found myself a good husband. Whether in the past life or this one, Qin Yize is wholly devoted to me.
Oh, if there wasnāt anyone around, sheād really want to leap up and hug her man, giving him lots of kisses.
There are already three people helping in the kitchen, and Gu Qiaoqiao couldnāt just force her way in. Besides, to be honest, even though sheās in great shape, there are certain kitchen smells she just canāt stand.
The little one in her belly is also quite picky.
With a smile on her lips, Gu Qiaoqiao naturally wouldnāt disrupt her manās arrangements. She sat cozily on the sofa, picking up a magazine to read.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao leaning on the sofa, Qin Yize felt relieved. Zhou Xia gave him a sideways glance, which he pretended not to see. However, Zhou Xia naturally wouldnāt say anything; instead, she hoped Qin Yize would treat Qiaoqiao even better. This young girl deserves the best.
Unlike her, whoās had nothing but trouble in love.
And who knows what Mr. Gu thinks of all this, whether heāll help? Plus, sheās curious how he plans to help.
Meanwhile, Gu Junbai had already picked up the Black Pearl to examine it closely.
A calm expression on his face softened into a smile. This was what he needed and never imagined it would fall into Zhou Luoanās hands. Somehow, it felt like certain things were just destined to happen; he just needed to wait quietly, just like with this Black Pearl.
Gu Junbai placed the Black Pearl back in its box, closed the lid, and set it on the side table. This gesture meant he accepted the gift, "I didnāt expect to get the Black Pearl so quickly. Mr. Zhou, I really must thank you."
"Mr. Gu, you donāt have to be so polite, Iām so embarrassed. Weāre family, itās something I should do," Zhou Luoan quickly said.
Old Grand Master Qin cheerfully chimed in, "Mr. Gu, Luoan is right, weāre family, so thereās really no need to say thanks. They canāt bear such words."
Qin Sisi nodded repeatedly on the side.
Gu Junbai and Gu Qiaoqiao have done them and the Zhou family immense favors, and thereās no way to repay such a debt, honestly speaking. Being able to do something for them is an honor for both of them.
Seeing the three of them like this, Gu Junbai smiled, "Yes, weāre all family, so I wonāt hold back."
Old Grand Master Qin was very pleased, laughing heartily.
The four of them chatted for a while. After all, they once fought together, sharing a special bond in certain aspects. Zhou Luoan talked with Gu Junbai about the situation in the basement and mentioned that the Sika Deer in Siluo Manor was still there.
This time it even tried to follow them out, trailing behind their car for half a day.
When they called from the airport, the butler told them the Sika Deer had returned to the manor but seemed in low spirits, looking quite pitiful.
"That little Sika Deer is quite spirited; take good care of it..."
Gu Junbai softly said.
Zhou Luoan quickly nodded, "Our whole family really likes it; that little guy is indeed clever."
Qin Sisi glanced at her father, then bravely said, "Mr. Gu, we didnāt know Danny came by today. When we left this morning, he was already waiting outside, saying he had the female clan leaderās permission to come see you."
"Hmm, I know. Iāll have a separate chat with Danny this afternoon."
Since he came knocking, they had to see if it could be resolved.
But honestly, he had no experience in this area, as heād never encountered such a situation before, so he couldnāt think of a perfect solution and would have to assess it as it came.
Hearing Gu Junbaiās words, Zhou Luoan and Qin Sisi exchanged smiles, finally letting go of their worries.
Although Qiaoze Ranch is in a remote place, the food is very plentiful, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits all in abundance.
Even though thereās no electricity or refrigerator, the food surprisingly stays very fresh.
Some of the vegetables look as if they were just picked from the field.
Of course, Gu Qiaoqiao knew why. The Hundred Miles of Mountains Map, in some sense, served as a space to store food because time there was nearly frozen.
This Hundred Miles of Mountains Map now hangs in her uncleās study, truly a case of the rightful owner recovering their property.
When the aroma wafted from the kitchen, Gu Qiaoqiao remembered something. She put on her down jacket, opened the door, and stepped into the yard, seeing three figures walking toward her. She shouted, "Xiao Nan, whereās Xiao Bai?"
She was so careless, how could she forget that little White Cat?
"It ran out early in the morning and still hasnāt come back. I donāt know where it went," Ling Nan said as he looked around, suddenly pointing toward the Mongolian Yurt, "Sister Qiaoqiao, Xiao Bai is back."
Sure enough, as Ling Nan finished speaking, a snowball rolled through the snow from afar. Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao, it meowed happily a few times.
"Hey, where did you run off to? Why are you just getting back?"
"I went to the other side of the mountain and discovered a White Wolf there," Xiao Bai excitedly communicated with Gu Qiaoqiao mentally.
A White Wolf?
Gu Qiaoqiao was startled, "You mean a wild wolf with white fur?"
"Yeah, otherwise how could it be called a White Wolf?"
"I thought White Wolves are also called Arctic Wolves, living in the distant Arctic. Do we have them here? Are you sure you didnāt mistake it?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked puzzledly.
She had recently read a book that introduced Arctic Wolves, also known as White Wolves, whose fur is entirely white, living in the Earthās Arctic regions and parts of Eurasia.
How could they appear here at Qiaoze Ranch?
Xiao Bai shook its fur, not taking the appearance of an Arctic Wolf here seriously at all.
After all, itās a Divine Beast, a White Tiger, that shouldnāt exist in this world, yet here it was, appearing in the form of a little cat, meowing every day. Who was making a big deal out of it?
"Oh, youāve never seen the world. Itās just an injured wolf, why wouldnāt it be here?"
Gu Qiaoqiao gave Xiao Bai a sharp look, "Stop being sarcastic, speak properly."
Xiao Bai was indignant, "I am speaking properly. It truly is an Arctic Wolf, but itās injured, not sure it can survive the night. Do you want to save it?"
Xiao Baiās purple eyes rolled around, plotting something.
