Chapter 29: Chapter 29 She Was Actually Speechless Gu Qiaoqiao frowned as she looked at Qin Yize, apparently gauging the truth of his words. A moment later, Gu Qiaoqiao knew that Qin Yize really had no intention of divorcing her. But what did that mean? Tied together like this, wasn’t he in pain? Or perhaps, he never considered marriage a significant matter in life. That’s why he gave her the marriage, the title of wife, and maybe he thought that was sufficient. But what about his responsibilities as a husband? A cold annoyance tinted Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes as she seriously asked Qin Yize, “Do you think we resemble a married couple at all? We’re even less familiar than strangers. The future is so long, living like this would be painful. Ending it early is the best choice right now.” Qin Yize stood five steps away from Gu Qiaoqiao. The morning sunlight enveloped her entirely, creating a poetic and picturesque three-dimensionality. The young girl’s fair skin glistened warmly in the sunlight. It actually made Qin Yize’s eyes brighten a bit. When one’s mood changes, the way they look at others changes as well. Qin Yize felt bewildered by his own thoughts and reflected on Gu Qiaoqiao’s words — strangers, pain? He felt displeased, thinking that Gu Qiaoqiao was being unreasonable. A moment later, just when Gu Qiaoqiao thought he would leave indifferently as usual, Qin Yize’s clear voice resonated in the room. Like a droplet falling onto a stone in a stream, melodious but icy cold, without a hint of warmth, “Gu Qiaoqiao, I remember when you pointed at me and said you wanted to marry me, it was our first meeting. Our second was the wedding, and I had to leave that day due to some matters. Now, this is our third time, and you’re considering the issue of being strangers; isn’t it a bit late?” Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback, then a feeling of embarrassed annoyance arose. She knit her brows, her lips parted, but found she seemed to have no right to speak on the matter of being strangers. Coldness tinged the corners of Qin Yize’s mouth as he stared straight at Gu Qiaoqiao, who appeared to be at a loss for words, “As for the pain, I have never felt that being married to you was painful, and until before New Year’s Eve, you didn’t feel it was painful either. One’s thoughts only overturn overnight if they go through life’s drastic ups and downs. Tell me the real reason, and I can consider it.” Gu Qiaoqiao stood frozen, with Qin Yize’s words causing her heart to stir. She knew of Qin Yize’s keenness and his doubts and confusion about her. Her hands, which hung by her sides, slowly clenched together. How could she tell him the real reason? That she had returned from a past life, that in her past life, there was nothing but pain between them, along with the hatred between their two families? Let alone whether he would believe her, she definitely would not tell him. This was her secret alone, one to take to the grave. And she also discovered that Qin Yize was not as silent as she had perceived him to be. When he wanted to earnestly discuss an issue with her, she almost had no power to rebut. This realization made the current Gu Qiaoqiao feel somewhat ashamed. And her shame was reflected on her face, her cheeks blushing like dawn breaking through clouds, yet suddenly imbued with a burst of life. Qin Yize unobtrusively withdrew his gaze, also calming the somewhat cold aura he had just now. Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao like this, he also felt that perhaps his words had been a bit too harsh. He lowered his gaze, softened his voice, “Since there’s no appropriate reason, why don’t you come to the hospital with me first? Even if the elderly gentleman from last night didn’t specifically ask you to come, it’s normal for you to accompany me to see him.” While speaking, he went to the wardrobe, took out a woolen coat and put it on, then opened another wardrobe door. Upon seeing the colorful clothes inside, he imperceptibly frowned his handsome brows. Gu Qiaoqiao saw Qin Yize open her wardrobe door and looked at it with furrowed brows. She quickly walked over and closed the door with a huff, saying irritably, “What are you looking at?” Qin Yize stepped back, donning his scarf, and said indifferently to Gu Qiaoqiao, “I’ll wait for you in the living room.” “I’m not going.” “Aren’t you curious why the old gentleman insists on you coming?” “One should repay kindness; the old gentleman is a conscientious person,” Gu Qiaoqiao said meaningfully. Qin Yize, with his hands in his coat pockets, did not delve into the meaning behind Gu Qiaoqiao’s words. Instead, he effortlessly changed the topic, “Bai Yun’s mother is inherently unreasonable and likes to create a fuss. If I’m not wrong, she’s coming to settle accounts with you. Bai Yun will certainly stop her, and those two must be arguing right now. Even if you’ve prepared yourself for battle, you’ll probably end up disappointed in the end.” Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened suddenly. Prepared for battle? Was it that obvious? Yet, it was undeniable that she was indeed eagerly waiting for the Bai Family’s people. But at the same time, her mind was a whirlpool of thoughts, and bitterness surged in her heart. If he was so smart, why didn’t he realize she had been framed in her previous life? Moreover, he received a phone call at two in the morning and then disappeared for an entire day. How cold-hearted he must have been to turn a blind eye to everything about her. Gu Qiaoqiao snorted coldly. The matter of divorce, it would be good to let Shen Manru know at the right moment—she thought Shen Manru would be only too pleased. With that thought, she took out a down jacket. She had changed her mind. Why shouldn’t she go? Why should Qin Yize gain from this favor for nothing?

If it weren’t for her hands imbued with spiritual energy, even if an ambulance was called or Qin Yize personally performed the surgery, it would still have been the elderly gentleman’s cold corpse in the end. As she dressed, she scoffed, “You sure know Bai Yun well. How do you know she will stop it? Maybe she can’t wait for her mother to come to me to settle the score.” “She won’t,” Qin Yize shook his head with certainty. “Throwing water has consequences, but there’s also a cause to consider. Pulling back and forth will only make things messier. Bai Yun is so cunning, she won’t let herself end up in an awkward situation.” “You know she’s cunning?” “Seems like more than you,” Qin Yize didn’t mince his words. “You…” Gu Qiaoqiao found herself at a loss for words. Qin Yize glanced at the time, no longer interested in bickering with Gu Qiaoqiao. A hint of unnoticed amusement flitted through his eyes as he took the lead and walked outside. Throughout the way, Gu Qiaoqiao pondered for a long time and eventually felt that Qin Yize was right. Bai Yun wouldn’t let her apologize. She had a guilty conscience, after all, she feared retribution. If she were still the foolish and naive Gu Qiaoqiao of the past, Bai Yun would definitely not miss the chance to make her humble herself. But not now. Because Bai Yun knew that Gu Qiaoqiao was no longer the one who used to be at her beck and call. Without absolute certainty, she would certainly not take risks. She might even remain as affectionate as before, then wait for the right moment to bite her.
