If she carelessly messed things up, the little girl would be incredibly upset.
So he carefully placed the Gold Jade Stone Carving back as it was.
At that moment, he felt much more comfortable.
He didn’t know if it was because he saw the Gold Jade Stone Carving or because he held the Gold Jade Stone Carving.
Qin Yize took a deep breath.
He returned to the living room.
He looked at the sofa...
These days, he had been sleeping on the sofa.
Because he felt as if, by doing so, Qiaoqiao might come back.
But today he knew Qiaoqiao wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.
Even though he didn’t know the exact reason behind this.
But he knew the Gu Family must have their unknown reasons and difficulties.
And these unknown reasons and difficulties couldn’t be shared with him for now.
He didn’t blame them.
The world was just like that.
Everyone had their reasons for having to act in certain ways.
Gu Qiaoqiao had her convictions.
And he, Qin Yize, had his convictions too!
There was no conflict.
Qin Yize was not one to give up easily.
Nor would he be discouraged because Qiaoqiao cared about Dongfang Yu that day and not about him.
Or become self-destructive!
Then never concern himself with Gu Qiaoqiao again.
He wouldn’t let Gu Qiaoqiao have her way.
Even if it meant fighting to the end.
He would die knowing the reason.
Otherwise, what were all these about?
And most importantly, on the day he was taken away by the Southern District Bureau, Qiaoqiao clearly wanted to tell him something.
Unfortunately, before Qiaoqiao could tell him, he was taken away.
And he never heard it again.
Too many things had happened these days, and sometimes his own mind wasn’t calm.
So oftentimes, he forgot this crucial point.
But now Qiaoqiao didn’t want to see him.
He wanted to ask what exactly Qiaoqiao wanted to tell him that day?
He guessed Qiaoqiao wouldn’t tell him now.
He glanced at the sofa again.
Qin Yize curved the corners of his mouth, his gaze somber...
Then he pushed open the bedroom door.
There were no lights on in the bedroom.
It seemed the room still carried that faint sweet fragrance of Qiaoqiao.
In order to prevent the scent from escaping the room, Qin Yize hurriedly closed the bedroom door again.
Once in this room, Qin Yize felt as if Qiaoqiao had just gone back to her parents’ house.
Or maybe had gone to stay at school, and would come back tomorrow.
He didn’t turn on the light.
He opened the curtains.
The dim moonlight shone through the window.
Nothing had been moved here.
Everything was just as Qiaoqiao had left it.
Qin Yize lay down on the bed.
Then he closed his eyes.
It seemed at that moment, the world darkened.
But as the darkness enveloped the world, a fragrance unique to Gu Qiaoqiao slowly filled the air.
And this fragrance slowly relaxed Qin Yize’s furrowed brow.
A moment later, the restless Qin Yize finally fell into a deep sleep...
On a day when snow was falling thickly...
Gu Qiaoqiao finally completed the carving of eighty-one Lotus Petals made of Red Spirit Jade Marrow.
At that successful moment.
Gu Qiaoqiao slumped onto a chair.
Staring blankly at the red lustrous glow of the lotus flower before her eyes.
It was truly beautiful.
It was pretty even before it was completed.
But she hadn’t expected the complete Lotus Petal to be so brilliantly splendid.
So beautiful it seemed not of this world.
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered the Red Lotus Karma Fire and Red Spider Lily Flower described in the novels...
