Seeing that Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t take Dongfang Yu’s business card seriously, Qin Yize’s heart, for some reason, quietly settled down.
Then he took the card and looked at the title on it—Ancient Culture Research Institute.
How could he not know when an Ancient Culture Research Institute was established in the Imperial Capital?
It seemed that this warranted a thorough investigation.
And most importantly, why did this man want to approach Qiaoqiao?
Some things are frightening when put together, like scattered pearls, which, if strung together one by one, would form a complete bracelet.
And that was exactly the case at hand.
There is no love without reason in this world, nor is there inexplicable hatred.
And a person’s actions are no exception to this rule.
And ever since Gu Qiaoqiao returned to the Gu Family, there had been quite a few with designs on her.
No help for it, a tall tree catches the wind, and the Gu Family’s wealth had many coveting it.
Qin Yize concealed the thoughts in his eyes.
He softly said, "Since this person is so mysterious, it’s better not to have contact with him."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Mhm, I know, I don’t have the time to deal with him..."
Qin Yize affectionately stroked the top of Gu Qiaoqiao’s hair but did not speak again.
He had only the afternoon’s time.
So he took Gu Qiaoqiao out of Gu Garden.
He had once promised to take her skiing.
The timing was just right.
Soon, the car driven by Qin Yize, with Gu Qiaoqiao in tow, left.
After they left, from behind a large tree at a wall corner, a figure slowly emerged—it was Dongfang Yu.
The cat was at his feet.
Dongfang Yu muttered to himself, "This little girl, her face lights up at the sight of that man, and they even held hands in public..."
The cat at his side meowed unhappily a few times, seemingly also feeling that Gu Qiaoqiao’s demeanor towards others was different.
Just before, it was struck by a stone she threw, which made it feel quite sad.
Dongfang Yu picked up the White Cat.
He walked towards the side of the road.
There was a car parked there, provided to him by Lin Fanpeng.
The driver was Lin Fanpeng’s trusted aide, tasked with driving Dongfang Yu around during this time.
After all, having come to the mortal world, he needed to follow local customs.
And he was also to enjoy the pleasures entitled to him.
For Dongfang Yu, every sojourn in the world of men was a pleasurable indulgence.
And this time was no exception.
As he walked, he talked to the White Cat in his arms, "I didn’t expect that the little girl’s husband is a man of fierce energy and not someone to be trifled with. I need to think about what to do next?"
At this moment, Dongfang Yu felt himself, for the first time, not as cold as in previous years.
Merely by touching Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingers, there was already an unexpected effect.
Dongfang Yu’s nonchalant interest in Gu Qiaoqiao at that moment turned into a resolved determination to have her.
This little girl, perhaps one in a thousand years, would be a waste paired with a mere mortal.
He wanted to have her by his side.
Perhaps his chronic coldness would be cured by this little girl.
And during the moment of his ten-year life and death tribulation, Gu Qiaoqiao might just be able to help.
But now, this was a person with a husband.
In this world, she was protected by the law.
He could not casually take Gu Qiaoqiao away.
And the prerequisite was whether or not Gu Qiaoqiao would be willing to leave with him.
However, under this premise, it meant separating the two of them.
And also, in such a way that they would part without any lingering feelings.
