Then, the two of them began to have time alone again.
Aside from Dongfang Yu’s coercion, he had a lot to say to Gu Qiaoqiao.
But after all, it was almost New Year’s Eve.
His injury wasn’t serious.
Being here would always keep his teammates at the base hospital research institute busy.
And now both families were very anxious.
After all, since they returned from Snow Mountain Valley, apart from Luh Fei notifying them of their safety, they hadn’t contacted the family yet.
So after much consideration.
Qin Yize decided, it was best to go home.
In the morning, after breakfast and organizing his belongings,
Gu Qiaoqiao helped Qin Yize leave the research institute.
By this time, there was no trace of the person and the cat in the icehouse anymore.
And strangely, there was no visible hole in the icehouse.
It hadn’t suffered any damage and remained as good as new.
Qin Yize knew that by now Dongfang Yu had probably left the area of the ice lake.
But before coming, he should have known that the place was heavily guarded.
He would have dug several kilometers further.
It’s believed that when he came out, he was already exhausted.
Regrettably, this is a restricted area, the most sensitive part of the Imperial Capital, and wanting to blow Dongfang Yu to pieces wasn’t feasible at the moment.
Lacking explosives and orders.
If only there were something to block out sound.
Qin Yize stopped thinking about it and quietly held Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand.
He gave her a sideways glance with a smile.
Soon, the car arrived at the Qin Family.
Gu Qiaoqiao helped Qin Yize get off the car.
She thought she would never come again in this lifetime.
Yet unexpectedly, not long after, she was standing again at the entrance of the Qin Family Old Residence.
When they left the base hospital, Luh Fei had already called both the Qin Family and the Gu Family.
So despite the harsh winter, the Qin Family still waited outside...
Then, seeing the two of them get off the car,
they quickly gathered around.
The straightforward Qin Xiaoyu seemed to forget all about it and rushed forward to hug them both.
Crying and laughing, "Sister-in-law, you’re amazing! Big brother, is your leg alright?"
Qin Yize smiled, "It’s fine..."
Gu Qiaoqiao awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth.
At this moment, Grandma Qin affectionately said, "Qiaoqiao, quickly come inside with Ah Ze, it’s cold outside..."
Afterwards, they didn’t linger at the door chatting.
They weren’t in a hurry to check Qin Yize’s injury but went inside the house.
Once inside, Shen Manru hugged Qin Yize, unable to hold back her tears.
She knew her son was hurt.
This disappearance was the first time.
Fortunately, he finally came back.
Qin Yize sat on the sofa, speaking softly about his situation.
Beside Gu Qiaoqiao was Xiao Yu, who affectionately held Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand.
On Gu Qiaoqiao’s other side was Grandma Qin.
By now, they had understood everything they needed to know.
Qin Xuan originally wanted to thank Gu Qiaoqiao.
But for some reason, the words of gratitude felt difficult to express.
There was a sense of still being one family.
One family... thanking each other endlessly would be troublesome.
And looking at his son, how could he let Gu Qiaoqiao leave again?
They were very aware of Qin Yize’s state some time ago.
The son is like a wolf.
Having finally brought Gu Qiaoqiao back, he would never let her go.
Understanding this, Qin Xuan felt relieved instead.
Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to repay this favor...
