Chapter 171: Chapter 171: I’m Really Sorry for Making You Go Bankrupt!
Qin Yize was checking the fuel tank and felt relieved that there was no oil leak, which would have been really dangerous.
Then, an anxious voice from Gu Qiaoqiao came from beside him, “Qin Yize, can the trunk be opened?”
“See for yourself.” Qin Yize pointed to the severely warped trunk.
“Could my gold jade stones be broken?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked worriedly.
Qin Yize glanced at the trunk, estimated the angle of distortion, and the spot where Gu Qiaoqiao’s items were placed.
Then he looked at the young girl who appeared smaller in his clothes.
His eyes shimmered with a wave of light as he slowly said, “Maybe they are broken.”
Gu Qiaoqiao turned pale, “Are they really broken? What should I do?”
Those were all the possessions she could present.
She was almost crying.
After a while, she murmured, “That’s all I have, and I was planning to exchange them for Red Spirit Jade Marrow…”
Qin Yize patted the trunk and said regretfully, “I’m really sorry, you’ve lost everything!”
At that moment, the drizzling rain gradually stopped.
Gu Qiaoqiao, feeling devastated, stared blankly at the scene in front of her, truly regretful.
If she had known this would happen, she might as well have taken the train.
“What can I do?” Gu Qiaoqiao muttered to herself.
At this time, the clouds had completely dispersed.
The sun appeared in the western sky.
A majestic rainbow also stretched across the horizon.
The sky, cleansed by the storm, was transparently blue, and the trees were even more verdantly green.
And Gu Qiaoqiao, positioned as if beneath the rainbow bridge, had even more lustrous eyes, and her curled eyelashes were dewy.
Her delicate eyebrows drew together, as if veiled in a light mist.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s devastated and regretful expression made Qin Yize smile unconsciously.
But he suddenly remembered the moment he had pulled her into his arms.
It seemed, fragrant and soft.
He realized that his little wife was, in fact, becoming more and more attractive.
However, the girl was currently heartbroken, so he quickly hid the smile in his eyes and spoke indifferently, “This should be my fault. If I hadn’t insisted you come with us, this would not have happened today.”
In fact, he was also scared afterward.
Had anything serious happened to Gu Qiaoqiao, he could not even imagine what state he would have been in.
Fortunately, everything was fine!
“If they are broken, they won’t have any value,” Gu Qiaoqiao said quietly.
“These are your hard work. Why don’t I compensate you?”
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Qin Yize, annoyed and heartbroken, “How can you compensate me? Those items were unique, and now they’re broken.”
Perhaps the gold nuggets inside were fine, but together, they were not as valuable as a single well-carved piece of Gold Jade Stone.
“I’ll give you my two stores in the Imperial Capital,” Qin Yize suddenly said.
“What?” Gu Qiaoqiao was startled and then looked up at Qin Yize. Those were two buildings worth tens of millions, and he was just going to give them to her?
“No joke,” Qin Yize gazed at Gu Qiaoqiao seriously, “We can proceed with the transfer of ownership when we return to the Imperial Capital.”
“Transfer of ownership?” Gu Qiaoqiao momentarily forgot about the jade stones.
She knew that in ten years, those stores wouldn’t just be worth tens of millions; their value would keep increasing.
Was Qin Yize that generous?
“Yes, transfer of ownership, in your name, as compensation for your loss,” Qin Yize spoke casually.
Gu Qiaoqiao gazed at Qin Yize.
And suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
She saw Qin Yize for the first time.
His cold eyes were mixed with a faint gleam and his sharp, handsome features seemed to soften, as if something was melting, clamoring within him.
His gaze was domineering and fervent, carrying an air as if to conquer everything.
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned, suddenly feeling her heartbeat begin to accelerate, her mouth dry and her tongue parched.
She hastily shifted her gaze away.
But the piercing intensity of that look made it seem as though she had nowhere to escape.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly lowered her head, looking at the grass beneath her feet while Qin Yize seemed to be waiting for her response.
The surroundings suddenly quieted down.
Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, thinking to herself that her Gold Jade Stone was also a treasure, and it would appreciate in value, no less than that house.
But if it broke, it would truly be worthless.
As for Qin Yize’s words, it was better to just listen; they were not to be taken seriously.
But unexpectedly, a deep and pleasant voice suddenly resounded from above her, “I am serious, not just saying it casually.”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked up in surprise, only to find that the emotions in Qin Yize’s eyes had disappeared as if they were smoke blown away by the wind.
Now he appeared calm and composed, with a hint of earnestness.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head, “I don’t want your store.”
“Too scared to accept it?”
Yes, she was too scared to accept it!
Gu Qiaoqiao thought to herself, if she really accepted it, what would the Qin family think?
They would feel utterly resentful towards Qin Yize.
Gu Qiaoqiao squatted down, avoiding Qin Yize’s gaze, she squinted her eyes at the twisted trunk of the car and said softly, “I don’t want it.”
Her voice was soft, yet very firm.
Qin Yize, unfazed, slightly raised his eyebrows.
He didn’t continue the topic, but instead casually glanced around the surroundings.
Lu Fei would not be back for another five hours.
He looked towards Gu Qiaoqiao, who hadn’t got drenched because she was wearing his jacket.
He thought for a moment and then said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “Wait here, I’ll go hang the clothes.”
Saying so, he walked towards the left direction.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood up, and called out to Qin Yize, “Here’s your jacket.”
She then jogged a few steps and handed him his jacket.
Qin Yize took the jacket and added worriedly, “You’d better stay away from the car.”
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded hastily.
Qin Yize strode away.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked back at the jeep but really did not go back to check the trunk.
It would be whatever it would be.
Who to blame? She had no assertiveness; someone mentioned having a car, and she followed.
Otherwise, had she taken the train, there wouldn’t have been so many dangers and troubles.
And most importantly, perhaps the Gold Jade Stone really broke.
She gazed towards the evening sky at the horizon.
The magnificent clouds were layered over the western mountains, their vivid colors shockingly beautiful to the soul.
This sky was the most beautiful she had ever seen.
After a while, as she boredly turned her neck, she suddenly saw Qin Yize behind the bushes.
Bare-chested, robust, his hands on his hips, only wearing dark long pants, his slim waist belted with black leather, and that belt seemed to emit an icy gleam.
Just from his back, one could tell that this man was filled with a overpoweringly intense force.
And that stance carried an arrogance that seemed to scorn the world!
