Chapter 1920: Chapter 1918: This Is What He Owes Qiaoqiao
In fact, Gu Qiaoqiao still had a place to store some gold, and that was the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map, but that painting was publicly recognized as an authentic masterpiece and couldn’t be taken out of the country. Even if they could pull strings, not everyone was friendly to them; many held malice.
So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize never considered it.
Qin Yize drew the curtains, darkening the room, and said softly, "Why rush? Didn’t Uncle say that no one would break the formation within a hundred years? Besides, you’ll eventually master the space; you can do it again once that’s accomplished, right?"
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, "Hmm, okay."
Qin Yize made a valid point; her mind had recently been prone to complicating simple matters, which was not good, and something she needed to change.
Qin Yize had now become quite the household expert, arranging the pillows neatly and forbidding Gu Qiaoqiao from overthinking. Although it might not tire Qiaoqiao, Qin Yize felt she needed rest.
Because Elder Luo was inviting them for dinner that evening.
That evening, Old Master Luo didn’t host the banquet at a restaurant. After all, they were abroad, and even though there were Chinese restaurants, they were still quite different from those back home.
The dinner was set at the Luo family’s villa.
Luo Ye and Su Ye were still in the hospital; the others were all from the Luo family.
The Luo family and Gu family were already on good terms, and with the deliberate hospitality of the other Luo family members, the meal was a pleasure for guests and hosts alike.
Upon returning that night, Gu Qiaoqiao called home; Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei chatted away merrily on the phone.
Luckily, the two kids were playing happily and weren’t crying for their mom.
If they started crying, Gu Qiaoqiao surely wouldn’t be able to handle it.
However, the hint of yearning in the kids’ tones still left Gu Qiaoqiao feeling a sense of loss.
Of course, the kids missed their dad just as much as their mom. After a chat with Qin Yize, it seemed like nap time, so they ended the call. Before hanging up, Gu Qiaoqiao promised the kids she would buy plenty of gifts to bring back.
Meanwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao also learned that Uncle and Ling Nan still hadn’t returned.
She had no idea where they went.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t reach them, and even if she worried, there was nothing she could do.
Zhou Han’s wedding proceeded as planned, which was a major event for the Zhou family. It was also the most significant event for Qin Sisi following her rebirth.
The wedding was held at Siluo Manor; the weather was beautiful with clear skies dotted with white clouds.
Even the arising breeze was gentle.
Siluo Manor’s lawn was adorned with flowers and a red carpet. Respecting local customs, since the bride was from Foreign Lands, the wedding was conducted according to local traditions.
When they returned to Huaxia Country, a traditional Chinese wedding would be held, as agreed by both families.
The Zhou family had been here for many years, naturally having many friends, plus some business partners, making this wedding quite grand and magnificent.
At this moment, Qin Yize suddenly realized there was still a small void in his otherwise perfect life with Qiaoqiao.
That was their wedding.
After all, the wedding they held at the time was worlds away from their current situation, and he seemed to have forgotten how he felt back then.
Maybe he chose to forget. Regardless, that was something he owed Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t care about such things; during Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen’s wedding at the Phoenix Clan Divine Land, she was just as she was now—elegant and calm, with eyes full of blessings for the newlyweds, since the newlyweds were either relatives or good friends.
Yet, regardless, realizing this made Qin Yize uncomfortable.
Gu Qiaoqiao had no idea what he was thinking; she only sensed Qin Yize seemed unusually calm. Since he was always stoic around others, she was used to it, and today’s focus was on Zhou Han and his bride, leaving her no energy to concern herself with Qin Yize’s thoughts.
Qin Yize’s fingers twitched; he pondered how to arrange a grand wedding for Qiaoqiao.
But it was easier said than done.
With his current abilities, he could provide any wedding Qiaoqiao desired, even one held in the sky by aircraft.
Still, there must be a reason.
This is life, not a novel.
But once the thought sprouted, it was like a seed growing into a tree, rapidly flourishing.
He thought, no matter what, he would arrange an even grander wedding for Qiaoqiao.
Qin Yize’s gaze deepened; meanwhile, Zhou Han’s wedding hadn’t officially started. Suddenly, there was a friendly voice calling, "Ah Ze..."
Gu Qiaoqiao turned and squinted; how did Choo Lan get here?
Why was she here?
Beside her was a tall, handsome man from Foreign Lands who looked somewhat like Xino upon careful inspection.
Qin Yize immediately glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, quickly explaining, "I didn’t invite her."
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, "Look at you getting all nervous; is there something you’re hiding?"
"... Qiaoqiao, don’t you know what kind of person I am?" Qin Yize seemed a bit displeased at Gu Qiaoqiao’s lack of trust.
Gu Qiaoqiao found it amusing; seeing Qin Yize fussing, she tapped her chin and nodded, "Yes, I know."
Indeed, she knew exactly what kind of person Qin Yize was.
Qin Yize was handsome, from a good family, and extremely capable. Nowadays, his wealth had multiplied many times over, so attracting admirers was inevitable.
Yet, there weren’t many women around him.
That boiled down to Qin Yize’s indifference toward them; he didn’t even bother to acknowledge them. In these times, few women were bold enough to be persistent.
Besides, Qin Yize was married, and his wife wasn’t ordinary. Those who had the chance to meet Qin Yize were evidently from the same circle and weren’t foolish. Even if some acted foolishly, their families reprimanded them before anything escalated.
Furthermore, even if they met once, the next meeting was uncertain. So, overall, Qin Yize’s environment was quite serene, which in turn afforded her peace.
Thus, she understood the kind of person he was; she was merely teasing him earlier.
But now, watching Choo Lan approaching, she whispered, "But why did she come? If dad and mom invited her, mom definitely would’ve told us beforehand."
