It seemed they were not in the same world.
Under the cold wind, Qin Yize’s figure became even more upright.
His gaze, profoundly focused, was like a meticulous net, swiftly enveloping Gu Qiaoqiao within it.
Qin Yize’s eyes twinkled slightly as he softly and gently spoke, "Qiaoqiao, I’ve come to take you home!"
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart trembled.
Heat welled up in her eyes, and she clenched her hands tightly together.
Yet she ultimately did not move.
A dark light flitted through Qin Yize’s eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a self-mocking smile as he quietly said, "What, are you afraid I’ll eat you?"
In just half a month’s time, Qiaoqiao had become so unfamiliar to him.
What had happened that he did not know about?
Qin Yize still stood upright outside the door.
His gaze fixed on Gu Qiaoqiao.
His thin lips tightly pursed, as if he had thousands of words to say, but at this moment, facing the terrifyingly calm Gu Qiaoqiao, he actually did not know where to begin.
Gu Qiaoqiao put her hands in her cotton jacket pockets and walked forward.
She then stood across from Qin Yize.
She softly asked, "Do you need something from me?"
At this moment, the two of them no longer had any contact.
The marriage that once did not have love but still bound them together had now vanished like smoke.
Dark swirls seemed to churn in Qin Yize’s pitch-black eyes.
Those clouds turned into two unfathomable vortices.
Gu Qiaoqiao frantically averted her gaze.
She truly dared not look Qin Yize in the eye in such a state.
"Qiaoqiao, tell me, what exactly happened?" Qin Yize asked patiently, one word at a time.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at him with surprise and spoke indifferently, "Nothing happened, you’re overthinking it..."
The casual way Gu Qiaoqiao spoke these words caused Qin Yize to lose his last bit of patience.
He took a big step forward.
His profound eyes carried a malevolent energy that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
Qin Yize moved swiftly, reaching out and grabbing Gu Qiaoqiao’s wrist in his hand.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew Qin Yize was going to grab her and instinctively tried to dodge.
But she had not expected Qin Yize to move so quickly.
So quickly that Gu Qiaoqiao had no time to evade.
Then, Gu Qiaoqiao’s wrist was firmly held in Qin Yize’s warm palm.
Then taking her with him, Qin Yize walked swiftly toward the jeep at the street corner.
How could Gu Qiaoqiao go with him?
She struggled desperately, growling, "Let go of me..."
Qin Yize looked back at Gu Qiaoqiao, his teeth clenched, "I won’t!"
What was this all about?
Disturbing his once tranquil lake of heart, and then, after she had made him fall in love with her, after he had given her his entire heart without reservation, did she really think she could just walk away...
And leave him coldheartedly in such a predicament? Had she ever considered his feelings?
One can’t be so selfish!
Moreover, he had to clarify what the unspoken issue was here.
They say that anomalous behaviors indicate underlying issues.
Under normal circumstances, Qiaoqiao should have been running around for him, not kicking him while he was down at this critical moment.
So, something must have happened.
Or perhaps someone was threatening him through her.
So he had to ask clearly.
But at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao had no intention of going with him.
Gu Qiaoqiao exerted force with her hand, and then with a flick of her palm, a surge of force moved towards Qin Yize.
Pain pricked through Qin Yize’s hand, and the pain stimulated his forehead like pinpricks.
Despite this, he still did not let go.
Even if it were the end of the world, even to the end of his life!
