Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Saving Others, Is It Also Saving Oneself? Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Saving Others, Is It Also Saving Oneself? Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment before asking, “How long will you be gone this time?”
“If I don’t go to Diannan tomorrow, would you still go there for your test?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked bluntly.
Qin Yize’s handsome eyebrows raised slightly. This, he could tell her.
“The original plan was to go to Inner Mongolia.”
No need to say anything more.
Gu Qiaoqiao gazed at Qin Yize with eyes brimming with warmth, “Thank you.”
The light in Qin Yize’s eyes gradually became intense as he asked in a husky voice, “How are you going to thank me?”
Speaking of which, Gu Qiaoqiao remembered something.
She stood up and went into the small study.
Qin Yize sighed, a helpless wry smile on his face.
Wasn’t this the time for a meaningful look or something?
Soon, Gu Qiaoqiao returned with the carved Cheetah Emerging from the Mountain, handing it to Qin Yize like a treasure, “Look, I’ve finished carving it.”
Qin Yize took it and couldn’t help but be astounded once again by Gu Qiaoqiao’s exquisite carving skill.
This cheetah, it almost looked real.
Those eyes, gleaming with fierceness and a bloodthirsty light.
As if with one glance, it would pounce on you.
Qin Yize clicked his tongue in wonder and couldn’t help but praise, “Qiaoqiao, I find that your carving craft is becoming more and more sophisticated.”
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t feel it.
She actually thought that her skill had peaked when she first carved the boat passing through the myriad mountains.
Had her skills improved again?
“Look at the eyes of this cheetah, your current carving skill is not only superb but also lifelike.” Qin Yize pointed it out to her.
The two of them were very close, their breaths naturally mingling together.
He could smell the fresh scent of Qiaoqiao after her shower.
In this night, it seemed to become especially enchanting.
Qin Yize’s gaze shifted from the cheetah to Gu Qiaoqiao’s face.
There was a moment of distraction and his heart fluttered.
But, Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t looking at him.
She was looking down instead.
Qin Yize noticed the worry between Gu Qiaoqiao’s brows. She must be fretting over the jade mine issue.
Just as he was about to speak words of comfort, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered something and looked up at Qin Yize, “Today, Elder Shen came. The Eighteen Arhats I sold to him before had broken, and he swapped it for a Golden Phoenix and another peace Buddha pendant…”
She was leaving tomorrow. With the unexpected turn of events, she had no time to carve anymore.
Luckily, she had another peace Buddha pendant that was already carved, which she had given to Great Grandfather.
She directed to give it to Elder Shen’s secretary when he came to pick it up.
Qin Yize’s handsome eyebrows lifted slightly.
Being on good terms with Elder Shen was very beneficial for Gu Qiaoqiao.
He asked about the circumstances at that time, fell silent for a moment, and then said, “Gu Cheng is working in a department directly under him; apparently his promotion report was quashed by Elder Shen. Gu Cheng now has no hopes of promotion and has to wait for retirement…”
“Elder Shen is in charge of Gu Cheng?” Gu Qiaoqiao truly didn’t know.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts churned, and in that moment, she seemed to connect many things together.
That meant in her previous life, Elder Shen would have already passed away at this time.
The Elder Shen who had left this world would no longer be able to suppress those incompetent scoundrels, like Gu Cheng.
Ning Wanru’s backing was one aspect, but their own abilities, they must have expanded a lot after Elder Shen’s death.
So it turned out, sometimes saving someone else was also saving yourself?
