Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1397: We’ll Settle This at Home

Qin Yize let out a cold snort, really wanting Gu Qiaoqiao to stay inside a little longer to suffer a bit more and learn a lesson, but he couldn’t bear it in his heart.

He snorted coldly, his face looking unpleasant, but his hands didn’t hesitate. He reached into his military backpack, took out a rope, looped it several times around his wrist, then threw it down, and said in a deep voice, "Grab the rope, I’ll pull you up."

Gu Qiaoqiao happily grabbed the rope with both hands, and once Qin Yize saw she had it, he placed the flashlight at the edge of the hole, and then with a forceful pull, slowly pulled Gu Qiaoqiao out of the trap.

The trap wasn’t very deep, but pulling someone out by hand alone would require the person trapped to be over two meters tall.

So, the power of the rope was necessary, and luckily, Qin Yize always carried such outdoor tools in his backpack.

The process didn’t take long, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Qiaoqiao was sitting on the grass beside the trap, leaving only Dongfang Yu in the hole.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked down and saw Dongfang Yu’s expression of utter resignation, only then did she feel she might have implicated him.

Just as Gu Qiaoqiao was about to say something, Qin Yize snorted coldly again, prompting her to wisely shut her mouth.

Qin Yize lowered his head, flashed the flashlight a few times at Dongfang Yu inside the trap, prompting Dongfang Yu to cover his eyes with his arms and say exasperatedly, "Qin Yize, enough, stop flashing the light at me..."

"Oh, aren’t you supposed to be hidden? Aren’t you afraid of this?" Qin Yize flashed it a few more times, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, finally speaking, "Mr. Dongfang, I assume you don’t need my help to come up?"

Seeing himself treated this way by Qin Yize, Dongfang Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply stopped talking and just nodded.

Seeing Dongfang Yu nod, Qin Yize didn’t hesitate to sling his military bag over his back, hold the flashlight, and grasp Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand. His dark eyes sparkled in the night; that gleam was quite piercing as he spoke with a tinge of chill, "We’ll settle this when we get home."

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mind at all, instead saying coquettishly, "Ah Ze, be gentle, my hand hurts."

That night, Qin Yize’s most frequent response was a cold snort. Though he didn’t speak again, his grip did soften considerably. He shone the flashlight around, made sure of the direction, then walked briskly with Gu Qiaoqiao in that direction.

The forest was full of branches and shrubs, but with him blocking the way, Gu Qiaoqiao’s path was smooth. Moreover, those chaotic auras had vanished, indicating those people had fled. Even if they had the guts of bears and leopards, they wouldn’t dare recklessly shoot at soldiers. So, their main focus was escape.

Which meant, only Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize remained in this woodland. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

No, there was still Dongfang Yu in the trap.

At this moment, Dongfang Yu looked at the pitch-black sky and trap, hands on his waist, let out a long sigh, his mood sour.

Today, he shouldn’t have come; knowing that, he shouldn’t have followed closely behind Gu Qiaoqiao, knowing full well she was chasing after Qin Yize, why did he follow?

These two are not ordinary people; if anything happens, it’s to others, like himself now.

Resigned, Dongfang Yu lit two spirit talismans to illuminate the trap’s space and saw that the trap’s walls were smooth, and the climbable distance to the top was about three meters with nothing to leverage, making flying up impossible.

Moreover, he must be careful, as with one slip, he could easily fall onto those wooden spikes, turning him into something like a skewered hawthorn.

Thankfully, the God of Death had dragged the God of Plague away, leaving him to slowly figure a way out. A moment later, Dongfang Yu lit a spirit talisman on himself to grant strength, yanked out a wooden stake, then began digging at the trap wall with it.

He needed to dig a hole to fix the wood in place on the trap wall and use it as a means to leap out.

So, nearly ethereal like a deity, Dongfang Yu now swung a piece of wood diligently.

Although he said nothing, he surely cursed Qin Yize in his heart.

That Qin Yize was ruthless enough, simply abandoned him without hesitation like that.

Doesn’t he realize he is just recovering from a serious illness, not fully recuperated?

All because he followed his little sweetheart to Gala Mountain and fell into a trap together, Qin Yize just left him, the patient, without a second thought.

"Qin Yize, you are truly petty!" Dongfang Yu muttered angrily.

Meanwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize had already exited the forest and stood by the roadside. Gu Qiaoqiao looked around and didn’t see Gu Garden’s car; obviously, she exited from a different place than she entered earlier.

Qin Yize picked up the flashlight, shone it behind them, and asked Gu Qiaoqiao, "Who drove you here?"

"It was Brother Li San from Gu Garden." Gu Qiaoqiao replied with a cheeky grin.

Qin Yize cast a sidelong glance at Gu Qiaoqiao. This girl wasn’t afraid of anything and wouldn’t stop until she stirred up everything.

By then, she might be too much for the world to contain.

Qin Yize thought irritably.

Despite that, Qin Yize never let go of Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, fearing she might vanish once he did.

Qin Yize guided Gu Qiaoqiao toward where he’d parked his jeep. After clearing away the branches, leaves, and straw, he helped her into the car, started the engine, and drove onto the road, estimating the direction, he told Gu Qiaoqiao, "Your car is up ahead, tell him to wait here for Dongfang Yu when we pass by."

Alright, he hadn’t forgotten Dongfang Yu.

Although Imperial Capital wasn’t far, it wasn’t particularly close either, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly consented, "Okay."

No matter what, they’d come together, it wouldn’t be right to let Dongfang Yu walk back alone.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao agree so readily, Qin Yize was a bit upset, and his way of expressing displeasure was to suddenly halt the car, then, clasping the unaware Gu Qiaoqiao, he lowered his head, kissed her red lips, then bit down hard.

Only then did he release Gu Qiaoqiao and continue driving.

Rubbing her bitten lip, Gu Qiaoqiao glared at Qin Yize and muttered, "Are you a dog? Biting people."
