Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Gu Garden Under the Moonlight (4) Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Gu Garden Under the Moonlight (4) He knew that, in many instances, Gu Qiaoqiao trusted him and didn’t hide many things from him.
This trust gave Qin Yize an inexplicable sense of emotion.
If only Qiaoqiao would open her heart to him.
Tell him, what exactly had happened?
He believed love grew over time.
Just like his feelings for Qiaoqiao.
But he didn’t believe that love could disappear overnight, without a trace.
Because on the surface, it seemed Gu Qiaoqiao no longer had any love for him.
But what about deep in her heart?
What secrets were buried there?
He really wanted to enter her heart and take a good look.
His lips suddenly curled into a slight smile, “Qiaoqiao, if there’s something there, why not wait for the Old Patriarch to arrive during the day before digging?”
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned.
She hadn’t thought that much about it.
“Are you worried the Old Patriarch suspects me of something?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked, frowning.
“Not really.” Qin Yize shook his head, “But wouldn’t it be better for him to see it with his own eyes? After all, he has lived in Gu Garden for decades…”
It seemed quite reasonable.
Qin Yize then suddenly bent down again, moving closer to Gu Qiaoqiao. He first glanced at the foggy night air, then at the bright moonlight, and then looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, lowering his voice, “Qiaoqiao, you don’t know what it is, yet you dare to dig up trees in the dead of night. What if you unearth something that even science can’t explain?”
“What… what… is something science can’t explain?” Gu Qiaoqiao got chills down her spine and asked Qin Yize, stuttering slightly.
“Many things, haven’t you heard the stories? Like embroidered shoes, women in white clothes…”
Qin Yize’s voice was very low, but his expression was very serious.
But he hadn’t even finished his sentence when Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly widened her eyes.
The surroundings suddenly became eerier.
She let out a low cry of shock, dashed out of the enclosure in a few steps, and grabbed Qin Yize’s arm with a voice filled with anger and a hint of crying, “Damn Qin Yize, how dare you scare me…”
Qin Yize had already stood up. He immediately embraced Gu Qiaoqiao’s body, feeling the softness and slight trembling.
Qin Yize regretted it.
He had always thought Gu Qiaoqiao was fearless.
That’s why he said it, just to see her reaction.
But he hadn’t anticipated that it would scare her so much.
However, Qin Yize still appreciated her throwing herself into his arms.
He remained composed, focusing on the woman in his arms. The moonlight was truly beautiful at that moment.
A handsome, tall man holding a dainty, young girl in such a scene was like a stunning painting.
If only he hadn’t said something so inappropriate, it would have been even more beautiful.
“Qiaoqiao, I wasn’t trying to scare you. I am serious. According to the rules of the Mystic Sect, the moon tonight is not suitable for these kinds of activities…”
“What activities? What are you imagining there is here?” Gu Qiaoqiao held onto Qin Yize’s arm tightly, demanding angrily.
“I am not imagining.” Qin Yize faced the infuriated Gu Qiaoqiao, struggling to hold back his laughter, “Qiaoqiao, I just think we should do this during the day, ideally bringing the Old Patriarch along…”
Gu Qiaoqiao, enveloped in the warm embrace, felt the earlier chill slowly dissipating. She looked suspiciously at Qin Yize who appeared very serious, “The Mystic Sect, what do you mean by that?”
