Now, no matter how powerful the backing behind Ning Wanru was, her enemy from two lifetimes could no longer stir up trouble as in the past.
Gu Qiaoqiao slipped her hands into the pockets of her down jacket and walked toward the entrance of Gu Garden.
When Gu Qiaoqiao pushed open the gate, she saw a young man standing in the courtyard.
Dressed in an army green coat, the golden sunshine enveloped him completely.
It softened his features and seemed to retract some of his sharpness.
Especially when he saw Gu Qiaoqiao. His eyes, like stars, instantly twinkled with a smile.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart thudded.
With a little surprise.
It had been several days since she had last seen Qin Yize.
For some reason, especially recently, every time she saw him, her heart would beat irregularly.
Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath.
She clenched her fist, then realized that the stone was still in her palm.
Gu Qiaoqiao casually tossed the stone into the garden next to her.
Then Qin Yize walked toward Gu Qiaoqiao.
He had seen the stone too, and asked in surprise, "Qiaoqiao, what happened? Why are you holding a stone?"
Gu Qiaoqiao thought about it; Qin Yize didn’t know about this yet.
But after all, it was still very cold outside.
And not suitable for talking.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled, "Let’s talk inside the house, it’s a bit cold out here."
Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao mention the cold, Qin Yize nodded, quickly extended his hand, and grasped Gu Qiaoqiao’s small hand.
Even though Gu Qiaoqiao’s hands were warm during the winter, they still couldn’t match the heat of his palm.
Now enveloped by Qin Yize’s large hand, a warmth flowed from the palm into Gu Qiaoqiao’s body...
In just an instant, Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if her heart was soaking in the warm spring days.
There were not many people here, nor was there any need to be discreet.
Qin Yize, holding Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, entered the small courtyard where she lived.
One had to say, Old Patriarch Gu really was financially powerful.
If it were an ordinary person, not to mention other expenses, just the heating alone would not be affordable.
But here, it really wasn’t a big deal.
And each small courtyard even had a Ground Fire Dragon.
The Ground Fire Dragon was covered with blue bricks.
Therefore, the room’s floor also emitted warmth.
Upon entering the house, they naturally warmed up.
Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly took off her coat.
Qin Yize did the same.
Underneath, he was still wearing his crisp military uniform, apparently just back from the army.
Then Gu Qiaoqiao recounted to Qin Yize the events from her journey to Xinjiang, the people and the White Cat she met, and the incident at Yubao Square that morning, adding that she had seen the White Cat again today. She told Qin Yize everything in detail.
At the same time, she quietly informed Qin Yize about Ning Wanru being in a secret underground chamber at Gu Garden.
Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t hidden this from Qin Yize.
Because in many matters, Qin Yize was doing his best to help her.
Qin Yize listened quietly.
However, his deep gaze was like the sea at night, turbulent with unknown currents.
And intuitively as a man, he knew that the man named Dongfang Yu with the cat might have targets Gu Qiaoqiao.
And this man, was very mysterious.
He might also possess some power Qin Yize did not understand.
"Qiaoqiao, may I see that business card?" Qin Yize asked.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Of course..."
Then she went to her study and finally found the casually discarded business card in a corner.
