Chapter 1725 - 1724: Carefree as Clouds and Wild Cranes

"Almost, it will be an epoch-making creation."

"Does that mean it will be very difficult?" Qiaoqiao asked with some concern.

Qin Yize pondered briefly and then smiled, reaching out to ruffle Qiaoqiao’s hair, his voice gentle, "It’s okay. For my wife to have a petite, exquisite mobile phone soon, I will put in extra effort."

Qiaoqiao smiled, eyes narrowing with delight, "Then you definitely have to work hard."

"Hmm!" Qin Yize nodded softly, then ran his fingers through his wife’s black hair and asked quietly, "Qiaoqiao, is there anywhere else you’d like to go?"

Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, "It seems like there’s nowhere at the moment. How about we just play it by ear? Do you think we’re stealing some leisure time right now?"

"That remark is quite fitting," Qin Yize replied languidly, lazily.

"But we’ve already been here for half a month." After saying this, Qiaoqiao suddenly recalled, "Ah Ze, have you noticed that we haven’t seen Uncle and the others for three days?"

Qiaoqiao craned her neck to look outside, "Look, they haven’t come back yet. I wonder what they’re busy with."

At this time, only the lights in the hallway of the main courtyard were on; everywhere else was dark and silent.

"Uncle and Ling Nan have their own matters, you don’t need to worry."

"Of course I’m not worried, just a bit curious."

"What are you curious about?" Qin Yize asked.

"Just a bit curious about Uncle and Yun Luo... their relationship."

Qin Yize chuckled, "You wouldn’t happen to want Yun Luo to be your Aunt, would you?"

Qiaoqiao looked steadily at Qin Yize, then guiltily glanced outside the window, lowering her voice, "Let’s just keep this between us, don’t say it outside."

"Silly, am I that dumb?"

"I know you’re not that dumb, but I’m afraid of accidentally letting it slip. Yun Luo isn’t an ordinary girl; she’s not from this world."

Qiaoqiao’s voice was mysteriously secretive.

"So what, now that she’s the daughter of the Yun Family in Sky Sea City, she’ll abide by all the rules she’s supposed to," Qin Yize said seriously, but with a smile playing on his lips.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. We’re just worrying about others like they’re ancient relics in ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms’. Uncle has such a broad mind, many matters and people he doesn’t take to heart."

Qin Yize remained silent.

Qiaoqiao continued, "Yun Luo is the same. I think she will return to her own world sooner or later, so it’s best they remain ordinary friends. That way, Uncle won’t get heartbroken later."

"Uncle won’t be heartbroken," Qin Yize assured confidently.

Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes at him, "What do you mean by that?"

"Qiaoqiao, I mean if they do develop a connection, if Yun Luo stays here, or if Uncle could go with her to another world, it could be a whole new experience for him."

"Though I don’t like hearing that, what you say does make sense."

"Qiaoqiao, there’s nothing unpalatable about it. Uncle is essentially a free spirit. If it weren’t for you and those connections, he might have gone somewhere else already."

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao’s interest was piqued, for now, there seemed to be nothing threatening them. Her eyes sparkled, "Ah Ze, what do you think another world is like? Is there really an immortal realm?"

"Seeing is believing, I won’t conclude until I see it,"

Qin Yize said unhurriedly.

"Do you think other spaces exist?"

"They certainly exist,"

Qin Yize said without hesitation.

By this time, the night had deepened, and Qin Yize didn’t want to continue the topic with Qiaoqiao, gently patting his wife, softly saying, "Alright, overthinking can be exhausting, get some rest. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the island."

"The island, is that the place we saw on the sea that day?"

"Yes, that’s the place. My friend’s brother has been there for three years. It’s a chance to visit him."

"Who’s your friend?"

Qiaoqiao asked with some curiosity.

Qin Yize’s expression darkened a bit, and he said quietly, "He’s no longer around."

Qiaoqiao hadn’t expected to touch on Qin Yize’s sentimental side inadvertently and felt a bit guilty.

Qin Yize smiled, "Silly girl, what does that have to do with you? I brought it up myself. The place isn’t very accommodating, bringing you there makes me worry."

But he couldn’t be at ease leaving Qiaoqiao alone here.

"It’s alright, you know my current health status better than I do."

Qin Yize nodded, "Then I’ll buy some more things tomorrow."

"Oh, if Ling Nan and the others come back, let’s ask them if they want to go as well, it’s more fun to have more people on a sea trip."

Qin Yize pondered for a moment, "Alright, I’ll talk to Ling Nan and the others in the morning..."

Then Qin Yize covered Qiaoqiao with a thin blanket, turned off the bedside lamp, adjusted his breathing and sleep posture, and they continued chatting for a while before gradually drifting into sleep.

Perhaps out of long-standing habit, Qin Yize woke up when he heard movement in the courtyard, but he didn’t go out. Instead, he quietly looked outside the courtyard and saw that Gu Junbai and Ling Nan had returned.

Qin Yize didn’t disturb them; however, he got up early the next day, intending to ask if they needed any help.

When Gu Junbai saw Qin Yize coming over, he said softly, "Ah Ze, I’ve basically finished my business. Did you get up this early because something’s up with Qiaoqiao?"

"Uncle, it’s like this..." Qin Yize then explained to him about his and Qiaoqiao’s plan to go to the small island today. Ling Nan, who was just nearby, said with bright eyes, "Big Brother Qin, I want to go too."

He then eagerly looked at Gu Junbai.

Gu Junbai glanced at him and also nodded, "Alright, I’ll go with you."

Ling Nan excitedly asked, "Big Brother Qin, is it the same yacht as last time?"

"Yes, it’s the same one. Since you’re used to it, we won’t change it."

"Big Brother Qin, what do you mean? Can we trade up for a better one?"

"There is one that’s slightly bigger; however, the performance of the one we used last time is better."

"And you’re familiar with the operations, so it’s easier for you to handle."

Qin Yize added another sentence.

"So when do we set off?"

"Let’s first go buy some things, and then we’ll head out after breakfast."

When Qiaoqiao got up, the impatient Ling Nan had already gone to the market, bringing back a lot of fruits and vegetables that needed to be bought.
