She dared not tell Qin Yize the truth.
Dongfang Yu seemed gentle, but he was actually capricious.
Moreover, he had a way of appearing and disappearing unpredictably, with otherworldly skills.
Who knew if he was hiding in the dark corners, spying on her at this very moment?
Just thinking about this made Gu Qiaoqiao feel a wave of disgust and nausea.
When she returned to the sculpture studio, unsurprisingly, she saw the cat again.
The cat had been showing up here every night for the past few days.
It did not bother her, just quietly lay at her feet.
At this moment, the White Cat was lounging lazily on the floor.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao enter, it lifted its eyes, looking at her submissively.
Gu Qiaoqiao gave a cold laugh.
Reached out her hand.
Unsurprisingly, she saw the cat’s eyes filled with longing.
"Where is your master?"
The White Cat shook its head.
"Is he hiding in a mouse hole?" The White Cat shook its head in panic again.
This little girl, speaking with no filter, was too bold; how could she talk about her master like that?
If her master knew about this.
Luckily, her master was at home now, cultivating his mind and nourishing his nature.
So it would not tell him about this conversation.
Because, being by this young lady’s side, the benefits were indeed too great.
The White Cat liked this young lady.
If it hadn’t already formed a contract with its master, it would have really liked to acknowledge the young lady before it as its new master.
This thought flashed through its mind only briefly.
It would be terrible if its own master found out.
Dongfang Yu seemed gentle and harmless, but he was actually the most ruthless and brutal.
Now, his gentle approach was simply because he never took these mortals seriously.
Gu Qiaoqiao watched as the White Cat anxiously shook its head.
And she couldn’t be bothered with it any longer.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood up and went back to her sculpting table, then sat down on the chair and started to sculpt again.
Now, she only had two more Lotus Petals to carve, and she would soon be successful.
And clearly, Dongfang Yu knew this too, which is why he sent White Cat to monitor her.
It seemed when she opened the Mysterious Dragon Box,
This man would immediately appear.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t care less and bent her head to continue her sculpture work.
And in the alley of Gu Garden, Qin Yize stood unmoving in the cold wind.
Only when the cigarette burned down to his fingers did he realize he had been standing in the cold wind for a long time.
After a while, he threw the cigarette butt into the snow.
After putting it out, he left in his car.
Now, with his professional eye, this place at Gu Garden indeed had many more obvious and hidden guards.
The number had increased tenfold from before.
Because when he used to come here, he had never seen those hidden guards.
So he could say with certainty that something must have happened in Gu Garden one day.
But now, the Members of the Gu Family were tight-lipped.
No one else had any inkling.
And his daily visits here, Gu Qingfeng surely must have been aware of.
It was just that he turned a blind eye and didn’t interfere with him.
Such strict guard gave Qin Yize some peace of mind.
Gu Qingfeng had weathered many storms.
With him around, there probably wouldn’t be any trouble in the near future.
What Gu Qingfeng didn’t know was that Qin Yize had also sent people to secretly protect them.
After more than a decade, the reputation of Young Master Qin was not acquired for nothing.
As the night grew deeper, the number of cars on the road dwindled.
Qin Yize’s car drove along the sparsely populated road.
In the dark night, the road seemed very long...
So long that perhaps the light at the end might never be seen...
Just as if there was no hope at all...
