Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1833: Chapter 1831: Date

And Gu Qiaoqiao had already forgotten when was the last time Qin Yize got so angry.

But seeing the usually deep and restrained Qin Yize showing this side was indeed adorable.

If it weren’t for the fear of delaying their evening plans, she would surely have teased him just now...

Sure enough, without Gu Qiaoqiao watching over him, Qin Yize’s work efficiency increased significantly.

After more than an hour, just as Gu Qiaoqiao was getting a bit sleepy, the door of the lounge was opened.

Gu Qiaoqiao lazily half-opened her eyes, "You finished all your work already?"

"Yes, I finished. I’ll take you to dinner first..." he said, bending down to help Gu Qiaoqiao put on her shoes.

Leaning against the soft sofa, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed quite accustomed to Qin Yize’s actions.

His hands, with distinct joints, were deft as he quickly tied the black shoelaces into a neat bow. Qin Yize, being a bit obsessive, made sure the bows on both shoes were of equal length, looking quite nice.

With her shoes on, Qin Yize pulled his little wife up into his embrace, gently patting her, then held her hand as they leisurely exited the Qin Group’s building.

Without realizing it, the evening lights were already shining brightly.

The two first had dinner. Since there weren’t any good movies, Qin Yize took Gu Qiaoqiao to a theater to watch an acrobatics show.

The young couple hadn’t been out alone for a while, so this moment felt quite novel. Because of the cold weather, Gu Qiaoqiao wore gloves, but her left hand was still tenaciously interlocked with Qin Yize’s fingers and tucked into his pocket.

Even with most of their faces obscured by scarves, it was still evident how remarkable this couple was, drawing gaze from passersby.

The Imperial Capital in the 90s was even more prosperous than before. Newly built night markets gathered cuisines from the north and south and all part of the country. Especially at night, the dazzling lights, steaming air, and the mixed aroma of various foods attracted both locals and tourists.

The two had already dined, but they still tried some of the novel snacks.

Afterward, they continued to stroll leisurely.

Eventually, they stopped at Clayman Zhang’s stall.

At that moment, as she focused on an elderly man shaping clay figures, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly looked to her right.

She had the feeling earlier, as if someone was watching her, but when she looked up, there was nothing unusual. This time was the same.

Although Gu Qiaoqiao thought she moved quickly, she still saw nothing, causing her brows to furrow. But she soon relaxed, snuggling closer to Qin Yize’s side, as they stood in front of the old man, waiting for him to mold them into little clay dolls.

Today, Clayman Zhang was particularly enthusiastic, for the couple before him had the best features he had ever seen. In this world, people have a special fondness for beautiful things, especially artists.

The old man used his ultimate skill, working swiftly yet carefully to finish the two clay dolls.

Gu Qiaoqiao took them and widened her eyes in surprise, "Wow, sir, you’re amazing. This girl doll really looks like me."

She then handed the boy doll to Qin Yize, giggling, "Look at this, it also really looks like you."

Clayman Zhang basked contentedly in Gu Qiaoqiao’s compliments.

Qin Yize wasn’t as excited as Gu Qiaoqiao but gave a smiling glance; indeed, though the features seemed generic at first glance, up close, it was unmistakably him, Qin Yize, and the other, Gu Qiaoqiao.

Seeing the customers satisfied made Clayman Zhang very happy. He placed the two clay dolls side by side in a small box, closed it, and put it in a paper bag. Qin Yize came over, paid, and led his little wife toward the next stall.

After browsing many stalls, these two clay dolls remained Gu Qiaoqiao’s favorite.

"Ah Ze, where should we place these two?" Gu Qiaoqiao looked up and asked, charmingly innocent.

Qin Yize gazed lovingly at his wife, "Wherever you want to put them to make you happy."

"Then let’s put them in the bedroom."

Qin Yize softly agreed, pulling Qiaoqiao closer.

Though this place was a street of delicacies, it was also rather mixed.

Some of the food was decent, while others hardly commendable. Not to mention Gu Qiaoqiao was a gourmet herself, and Qin Yize was quite picky, so he usually just accompanied Gu Qiaoqiao. By now, it was unknowingly ten o’clock.

It was time for the two to head home, but just then, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a gaze on her again. She turned suddenly, this time catching sight of a figure.

The person was tall and in a black wool coat, standing in a shadowy corner of the street.

However, it was brief, and soon the figure vanished.

Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at the empty corner. Qin Yize naturally noticed her strange behavior and asked softly, "What’s wrong, Qiaoqiao?"

"I just saw a silhouette, and they looked a little like Chang Qing."

"Chang Qing went to the research institute. He shouldn’t have time to come out now."

His project is important; he wouldn’t just come out casually.

"Not the current Chang Qing..." Gu Qiaoqiao pondered briefly before saying, "He’s older than both of us."

Speaking with a hint of seriousness in her expression.

Qin Yize tightened his grip on Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, saying softly, "Maybe you saw it wrong. Let’s go."

But Qin Yize still felt uneasy.

Truly, he hoped Qiaoqiao was mistaken because if she wasn’t, it meant Chang Qing trapped in time had emerged, and if that’s the case, even he, Qin Yize, couldn’t predict what might happen to the world.

After all, after such a long separation, who knows what kind of person Chang Qing has become.

Qin Yize thought he should have a good talk with Chang Qing at the research institute.

But he chose not to share this thought with Gu Qiaoqiao.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced once more in that direction, and there was nothing until they reached the Qin Family’s Courtyard, with no more of that following gaze nor that eerie feeling.

But Gu Qiaoqiao thought this matter couldn’t be left passively unresolved.

She went to the Gu Garden the next day.

The Gu Family Ancestor and Yun Luo were there.

Gu Qiaoqiao shared her experience from the previous night with them. Yun Luo was the first to express disbelief, "No way, how could he come out?"

"Yun Luo, have you seen him recently?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked urgently.
