Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Silence is Golden at This Moment Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Silence is Golden at This Moment Being gazed at by such eyes, Gu Qiaoqiao felt treasured.
But she didn’t know how to respond.
She could only look back at him with equal focus.
It seemed as if the moment she nodded, a belief she held firmly in her heart would come crashing down.
Yet, even without a collapse,
The air in the room grew still for a moment.
A nameless emotion quietly spread within the room.
Often, at certain moments, no words are needed to express oneself.
In that moment, Qin Yize suddenly had an epiphany, he stopped waiting for Qiaoqiao’s answer, he was no longer fixated on getting one.
He stood up, took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand firmly in his own, pulled gently with a hint of unnoticeable affection in his voice, “Let’s take a walk in the yard.”
Gu Qiaoqiao did not pull away, but obediently nodded and followed Qin Yize out of the carving studio.
Such a compliant Gu Qiaoqiao filled Qin Yize with tenderness, gripping her hand tightly.
What more was there to ask?
Her obedience had already said it all.
He thought, he and Qiaoqiao, let everything start anew.
And he believed that eventually, one day, he would hear the answer he desired.
Their hands clasped together, long and short shadows tenderly imprinted on the ground under the moonlight.
The shadows of the trees danced, a subtle fragrance wafted in the air.
Walking among the flowers in the yard at night was different from the day.
As if in this world, only the two of them existed.
Just , walking silently, as though they could walk to the end of time!
After breakfast, the two of them informed the family and set off in the car.
Xiao Yu and Qianqian knew better than to follow.
Of course, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t say she was going to buy melons.
She just took Qin Yize’s joke as just that, a joke.
However, a car ride was indeed a nice idea.
After all, if the two of them went to watch a movie, Qin Yize would fall asleep.
And going to eat? Both were quick eaters, usually, a half-hour meal felt a bit like a loss.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t dare to entertain that thought.
So, the idea of a car ride was really good.
Plus, Qin Yize’s jeep was the latest model, with a stable base, swift speed, and even the car windows were said to be bulletproof.
Gu Qiaoqiao was in good health and didn’t get car sick.
Perhaps it had to do with her being young.
Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips were curved in a smile.
The same was true for Qin Yize.
After last night’s silent agreement, their relationship finally moved forward a step.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao stopped pondering why she had silently agreed.
She was only nineteen, Qin Yize twenty-two, there was no need to rush…
Qin Yize, holding the steering wheel, still felt pleased.
The whole day today, he would be alone with Qiaoqiao.
Just the thought made it seem like ten thousand flowers were blossoming in his heart.
Then, Qin Yize turned the steering wheel, navigating the alley towards the main road.
But at the intersection, he had to slam on the brakes.
While stopping the car, he stretched out his hand to prevent Gu Qiaoqiao from lurching forward.
His sharp gaze was filled with a murderous intent.
He stared fixedly at the row of black cars in front.
His grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his brow was tainted with a touch of frost and impatience.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the four black cars blocking the road like tigers, tugging at the corner of her mouth, recognizing the lead car.
