Once, he was the second-in-command at the Border City Base, but now he had become the deputy commander of the headquarters at the Imperial Capital Base.
Moreover, Qin Yize was still so handsome and graceful.
Therefore, there were many girls who liked him.
Which was quite normal.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt hurt when she heard this, which was only natural.
Yet she knew that even if she defeated Dongfang Yu in the future, she and Qin Yize didn’t want to have a future together anymore.
Actually, things were pretty good the way they were.
But Gu Qiaoqiao had never imagined that Qin Yize would be so persistent.
Why was this man’s nature so stubborn?
Once he set his heart on someone, could it really be for a lifetime?
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but remember his words.
"This lifetime, I will only marry once!"
It was the same in the previous life.
At the moment she left that world, he was still alone.
There wasn’t a single girl by his side.
Then, what was his reason for doing so in his previous life?
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know at that moment.
But Gu Qiaoqiao could feel the overwhelming love from Qin Yize right then and there.
It made Gu Qiaoqiao feel like she couldn’t breathe.
She forcefully suppressed herself.
If she ran to Qin Yize now,
then everything she had done so far would have been in vain, turning into a joke.
And that was the lesser concern.
What was important was that if Dongfang Yu was angered to the point of rage, there was no telling what terrifying things could happen.
While she lacked the power to confront Dongfang Yu, she truly didn’t dare to provoke that man.
Every time she provoked him, it was actually a test to see his limits.
And she also knew that in Dongfang Yu’s eyes,
aside from her, everyone and everything else in this world seemed insignificant.
People and affairs of the world were mere ants in his sight.
A mere flick of his finger, and they would turn to ashes.
This feeling couldn’t be mistaken.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew Dongfang Yu was that kind of person.
And he was someone capable of making that happen.
Though Gu Qiaoqiao felt it was unfair.
Why should such people exist?
But there was no choice.
Such people did exist.
And moreover, they were a threat to her.
If such a person was angered, he could do anything.
He didn’t even know how many years he had lived.
After committing evil deeds, he would just walk away, and where could she find him then?
In Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart, she hoped her family and friends wouldn’t suffer the slightest harm.
So, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but be fearful.
Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao hoped even more that Qin Yize would not come looking for her again.
The two were fated but not destined to be together.
It was in the previous lifetime, and it was the same in this one.
Isn’t proving something with two lifetimes long enough to be accurate?
Yet, Gu Qiaoqiao gazed at Qin Yize standing in the cold wind,
and her heart still ached.
He was smoking again...
Why didn’t he take care of himself?
Moments later, hiding her aching heart, Gu Qiaoqiao turned and returned to Gu Garden.
She closed the gate tightly behind her.
And leaning against the gate,
her eyes, which had been dry for a long time, gradually filled with a hint of mist.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, one drop at a time.
Her feelings these past days weren’t wrong.
It turned out, every night Qin Yize would come here to see her, to wait for her...
Just standing silently at the entrance of the alley.
But he never once came in to disturb her.
At this moment, the cold wind was bone-chilling, and the tears stung her face.
She carelessly wiped away her tears.
Taking a deep breath, she strode towards her sculpture studio.
For now, she still didn’t dare to speak to him.
