Qin Yize hooked up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.
The end of darkness is the dawn!
He stepped on the accelerator and sped in the direction of the Qin Family Old Residence.
Indeed, even the longest road has an end.
And when he returned to the Qin Family Old Residence.
Everyone had already gone to rest.
In the past, he would either return with Qiaoqiao or know that Qiaoqiao was in this old residence...
But now, as he stood alone in the living room.
It was the first time he noticed how vast the living room of the Qin Family was.
It was completely empty.
All around was silence...
He lightened his footsteps as he walked towards the room he and Gu Qiaoqiao once shared.
The moment he turned on the light, he almost thought he saw a young girl smiling at him with curved eyes.
There was nothing in front of him.
Qin Yize’s gaze turned gloomy, and he took off his coat and went to wash up.
Even after washing up, he still couldn’t fall asleep easily.
That’s how it had been these past few days.
Even if he fell asleep, he did not sleep well.
The warmth emanating from the Wolf’s Fang was of no help.
Qin Yize entered the study.
Looking at the half-bottle of red wine on the liquor cabinet.
He reminisced about that intoxicating night.
It almost felt like it all happened in a previous lifetime.
How could that be possible?
It had been less than a month.
The young girl’s cheeks were as fresh as dawn breaking through clouds, her drunken demeanor...
So naive, so adorable...
He could never get enough of watching her.
But unexpectedly, when he looked back, the two had become strangers.
Qin Yize’s eyes were deeply somber; he bent down and took out the bottle of red wine.
Poured himself a cup.
And then drank it all in one gulp.
Only now could it truly be called drowning one’s sorrows...
The red wine was soon all gone, consumed by Qin Yize.
He stooped down to place the wine bottle back in the lower part of the liquor cabinet.
But suddenly his expression turned stern.
The slight buzz he had felt was instantly sobered.
Qin Yize reached towards that spot.
Then he pulled out a Gold Jade Stone Carving from a corner of the liquor cabinet.
This was Gu Qiaoqiao’s.
She always cherished these Gold Jade Stone Carvings.
He had admired each one,
and given them high praise.
Of course, he knew about this.
But why was this Gold Jade Stone Carving in the liquor cabinet?
When was it placed there?
At that moment, Qin Yize felt annoyed.
Why hadn’t he noticed these details before?
If he had, today he would be able to determine whether Gu Qiaoqiao had left it before she left or earlier.
But now there was no answer.
Qin Yize held the Gold Jade Stone Carving in his hand.
For some reason, the surge of agitation and anger deep inside him gradually dissipated.
The feelings of annoyance... the feelings of despair...
Also seemed to vanish bit by bit.
This was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time...
After a long silence.
Qin Yize replaced the Gold Jade Stone Carving exactly where it had been in the liquor cabinet.
No matter when Qiaoqiao had placed it there, she must have had her reasons.
If Qiaoqiao returns later and sees that her things have been moved, she will definitely be very angry.
Despite that little girl’s young age,
she is even more particular than him in some respects, someone who has a penchant for cleanliness.
She’s a bit obsessive-compulsive.
She likes everything to be neat and orderly,
as if she wants these things to line up.
Sometimes watching her organize things, it’s like she could draw a perfectly straight line.
