Chapter 1832: Chapter 1830: Don’t Look at Me Anymore
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He admired Lu Hao and felt that his family was actually a burden to him.
But there was nothing he could do.
If Lu Hao married a girl from an ordinary family, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
But his current girlfriend is the youngest granddaughter of the Mu Family, and she’s also the most spoiled one.
Old Lady Mu has refrained from taking action until now; it’s fair to say Lu Hao’s character saved him.
It’s really Old Lady Mu testing Lu Hao; if it wasn’t for this morning’s incident, these two would probably be getting married this year.
After all, Lu Hao’s current position is completely worthy of Mu Xinxin.
But the Lu Family refuses to change and has caused such a joke again.
If they acted pitifully, unable to survive, and reached out to their former daughter-in-law who is now wealthy, people would understand.
But arrogantly demanding money and property with violence and insults—who in this circle has ever seen such a thing? Naturally, many people already look down on such a family, and now it’s even worse.
I imagine Old Lady Mu has already analyzed the pros and cons with her granddaughter.
But even so, what does this have to do with my Qiaoqiao?
"Qiaoqiao, do you feel that Mu Xinxin and Lu Hao’s acquaintance has something to do with you, making you feel a bit guilty?"
Gu Qiaoqiao muttered, "Not really, but I did think that way once."
"Silly girl, what does this have to do with you? They are not children; they are two adults. You should never have such thoughts again. Mu Xinxin probably came to you to talk about Lu Hao, which involves their relationship and the other’s family, the most complicated issue. It’s been said for ages that even a wise official cannot handle family matters—don’t get involved."
Qin Yize’s voice was not loud but carried a hint of seriousness.
From the beginning, when dealing with Sister Li’s matter, Gu Qiaoqiao got involved.
Now it concerns Mu Xinxin; if these two end up not together, the Lu Family might direct their resentment towards Qiaoqiao. He wasn’t afraid of that family but saw no need for it.
Gu Qiaoqiao sighed, "I actually know, but Mu Xinxin is someone who understands the situation. She’s never revealed anything in front of me all this time. This time, I guess she wants to brainstorm with me for a solution."
"A temporary fix is not a cure. The root is with that family. Lu Hao’s hands are tied unless he stops doing everything and babysits them constantly, but that’s impossible."
"True. How did Lu Hao end up with that family?"
"That can’t be chosen." Qin Yize’s eyes twinkled with a hint of a smile, "If Lu Hao wants to marry Mu Xinxin, family issues must be resolved; otherwise, Old Lady Mu won’t agree to her granddaughter marrying him. I know my Qiaoqiao is smart, but don’t worry about this—I’ll contact Lu Hao."
Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly turned around, her beautiful, striking eyes looking at Qin Yize, seemingly in disbelief, as Qin Yize usually never meddles in these things.
"Ah Ze, how do you plan to handle this? Are you really going to get involved?"
Even though the girl before him was already a mother of two, she still carried a touch of youthful charm, her fair skin glistening under the sunset.
His Qiaoqiao is getting more beautiful.
Qin Yize, as if under a spell, leaned forward and murmured, "I’ll show Lu Hao a way; as long as he follows my advice, this issue can be basically solved."
Gu Qiaoqiao watched the handsome face get closer, genuinely curious, "What path are you showing him? Can you tell me?"
Qin Yize focused on his little wife, his thumb stroking her cheek, and replied leisurely, "It’s a secret for now."
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked and chose not to ask further.
Since Qin Yize said there’s a solution, there must be one.
Besides, many things are unpredictable before seeing the outcome.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled gently, "Can I tell Mu Xinxin?"
Qin Yize shook his head slightly, "Don’t mention it for now. She’s not a child and will figure out a way herself. Besides, have you heard? Folks say we never turn back until we hit the wall. Some things need to be experienced personally to truly understand. I think this is Old Lady Mu’s genuine thought deep down."
Afterwards, Qin Yize didn’t continue on this topic, he kissed his beloved wife and softly said, "Qiaoqiao, let’s head home later today; I’ll take you out."
"But what about Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei?"
"Our mom is watching them, together with Xiao Bai and White Wolf. Don’t worry. They are happy every day."
At this point, Qin Yize’s tone carried a hint of envy.
With both son and daughter, life is perfect. But it also diverts quite a bit of attention.
In the past, Qiaoqiao would have eagerly gone out with him, but now she has to consider this and that.
Sure enough, Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment then nodded obediently, "Alright."
She didn’t ask where Qin Yize planned to take her, but it was certainly somewhere fun.
Unwillingly, Qin Yize let go of Gu Qiaoqiao, stood up, and headed to his desk. After sitting down, he turned on the computer and, while typing, said to Gu Qiaoqiao, "If you’re tired, rest in the adjacent room; I’ve got some work to finish, but I’ll wrap it up quickly."
"It’s fine, I’m not tired. I didn’t do much today." Gu Qiaoqiao leaned on the sofa and spoke leisurely.
As a result, Qin Yize didn’t say more and started working seriously.
He was still wearing a white coat, underneath was a black turtleneck sweater.
His head was slightly bowed, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, occasionally flipping through documents.
Already handsome, at this moment he looked stunningly attractive while concentrating on work.
Gu Qiaoqiao propped her chin, sipping coffee, and occasionally glanced at her husband, truly enjoying the leisure.
As she kept looking...
The man at the desk suddenly glanced over at her, sighed helplessly, then stood up and walked over.
Without a word, he scooped Gu Qiaoqiao up and swiftly carried her to the adjacent lounge.
With swift yet gentle motions, he placed Gu Qiaoqiao on the sofa, deliberately frowning and said, "Don’t keep looking at me. If you do, I won’t finish my work."
Gu Qiaoqiao was initially stunned, then couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Laughing so much that Qin Yize’s ears slightly reddened, though they’ve been married for a while, he still felt a bit embarrassed. He cast a sidelong glance at Gu Qiaoqiao, who was laughing heartily, and pointed a finger as if warning but also indulging.
Then, he closed the door and returned to his office to work seriously.
He didn’t want Qiaoqiao out of his sight, but those glancing eyes of hers made him restless, lowering his usual work efficiency. If this continued, how would he go on that date tonight?
