Chapter 2002 - 2000: There’s a Word Called Love at First Sight
Chapter 2002: Chapter 2000: There’s a Word Called Love at First Sight
Uncle, Aunt, Sister, Sister, the greetings were so warm and affectionate, especially among those who were close with Gu Zishu. Of course, this also had something to do with bringing lots of delicious food.
Especially the dried beef jerky made by Gu Zishu’s mom, it was incredibly fragrant.
Although the cafeteria food was not bad, eating it too much can make it feel monotonous. This dried beef jerky became the best snack.
Lian Yuhong and Gu Tianfeng were full of smiles, seeing that their son was living well here, they were relieved.
If he doesn’t come home for the New Year, so be it. Their son has his own things to do, which is far better than they initially expected.
Back in Stone Town, this child didn’t like studying, no matter how much they tried, beatings and scoldings didn’t work. Gu Tianfeng told him that if he didn’t study well, he would have to farm the land. He wasn’t bothered at all, even saying that he’d farm with his uncle, assured he could grow the best crops with his strength.
Such words didn’t scare him, so Gu Tianfeng had no other choice.
They just hoped he’d at least get a high school diploma.
That way, the future would be a bit smoother. Without education, even farming isn’t an easy task.
But life is unpredictable. Neither of them expected their son to grow into this person they are now, making them so proud.
In the evening, Gu Qiaoqiao drove back to the Imperial Capital with Xiao Bao, Xiao Bei, and her parents, who were reluctant to leave.
While Qin Yize and Qin Yishan were urged back to work by Grandma Qin. Although the old lady liked such companionship, these two grandsons had important things to do, and they couldn’t accompany her wandering around every day. After three or four days, her mood had improved a lot, and she finally got past it. Regardless, she was satisfied to speak with Grandpa Qin a few words after ten years.
Now that she’s seen through it, it’s time for these two grandsons to get back to work. They have their responsibilities, and she can’t delay them, especially since the New Year is coming, there’s much to prepare. She wondered if Qin Sisi and the others would return this year?
But Zhou Han will bring back his new wife, so Grandma Qin felt that if she continued touring around, there wouldn’t be enough time.
Qin Yize returned at night and talked with Gu Qiaoqiao about the past few days. Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Once Grandma figures it out, she’ll get busy and soon forget about it."
Just forget, but not completely forget, leaving Grandpa Qin forever in the memory.
This is the best outcome.
At this moment, Qin Yize was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, while Gu Qiaoqiao was lazily leaning on the other side. Qin Yize was assembling a toy for their daughter while saying, "Grandma understands everything clearly, it’s just that this hurdle was tough, but fortunately, it’s over. Grandma asked me to tell you that she’s immensely proud to have such an incredible granddaughter-in-law like you."
Gu Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, smiling sweetly.
She also felt that indeed she was quite remarkable.
However, she modestly said a few words, and Qin Yize, seeing his wife’s smug look, smiled as well.
Afterward, Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize talked about other things, and this matter completely passed.
But one day, Old Grand Master Qin secretly asked Gu Qiaoqiao if she could see her Great Grandma’s Spiritual Body.
Gu Qiaoqiao was initially stunned but answered honestly because, due to the special nature of the Qin Family’s Courtyard, spiritual bodies cannot linger. Therefore, it was impossible for the deceased Great Grandma to form a spiritual body here.
Besides, she had looked before and never saw a spiritual body resembling Great Grandma.
You could say, currently, there are no spiritual bodies present nearby.
Then Old Grand Master Qin sighed regretfully, instructed Gu Qiaoqiao not to tell anyone about this, and slowly left with his hands behind his back.
Of course, Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t tell anyone about this, besides, she was indeed very busy. Although she didn’t have to prepare for the New Year, Chen Lanxiu had come from Wangbei County Town to find her.
When the young girl saw Gu Qiaoqiao, she seemed a bit shy and reserved. She truly didn’t expect that Gu Qiaoqiao would have such a good family environment, living in such a beautiful house, and she was actually the Young Master of the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest.
However, after talking for a while, the restraint gradually dissipated. For someone like Chen Lanxiu, she had an open perspective on certain matters.
Naturally, their views were different from ordinary people, and they didn’t mind trivial matters.
In the world of the Mystic Sect, ability is what matters most.
Gu Qiaoqiao started taking Chen Lanxiu shopping, buying clothes and shoes for her, treating her like a sister.
Of course, all of it was appropriate and within what Chen Lanxiu could accept.
Even Nie Luan from Archive Room No.1 knew that Chen Lanxiu had arrived in the Imperial Capital, and quickly called, strongly requesting to meet Chen Lanxiu.
With Chen Lanxiu’s consent, Gu Qiaoqiao took her to Nie Luan’s Archive Room No.1.
Imperial Capital’s Archive Room No.1 was still in the old building, with an elegant environment and a sentry guarding the entrance, which was quite novel for Chen Lanxiu.
Then Nie Luan and Chen Lanxiu met.
There’s a term in this world called love at first sight.
If Nie Luan had known he would fall in love with Chen Lanxiu at first sight, he might not have been in such a hurry to meet her and make her his subordinate.
But they had met, and he had a great liking for Chen Lanxiu, feeling she was the girl he had been longing to find. Then the following matters became tricky because anything involving emotions became awkward.
He needed mental preparation and to manage his emotions.
At this moment, they were in a sealed room, touring around.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood five steps away, amusedly watching the two of them.
One introducing, the other listening, their eyes occasionally meeting, only to shyly avoid each other; Gu Qiaoqiao looked up, feeling like the dazzling large light bulb on the ceiling.
Unexpectedly, their feelings developed so quickly. Gu Qiaoqiao was also pleased, as at least it wasn’t one-sided.
Mutual love at first sight is the world’s happiest thing.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t have any negative feelings towards Nie Luan, and for Chen Lanxiu, if she could indeed be with Nie Luan, it wouldn’t be bad.
Though the Nie Family in the Imperial Capital might not be a prominent family, they have their own power. Although Sect Leader Nie is no longer around, Nie Luan is not only the head of Archive Room No.1 but also the decision-maker at home.
Moreover, the people Nie Luan interacts with are either wealthy or noble, so under his protection, along with her capability, Chen Lanxiu might not thrive in the Imperial Capital, but she wouldn’t do poorly either, especially since she had her support.
