Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1404: The Mysterious and Arrogant Woman

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: The Mysterious and Arrogant Woman

Gu Qiaoqiao looked around, only to realize it was this person.

Standing at the entrance of Lijing Ho, she appeared young, with shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a white dress and white high heels. At a glance, one could tell she was a girl from a wealthy family.

As she got closer, Gu Qiaoqiao clearly saw that the girl’s dress was shimmering with a glass-like glow under the sunlight, as if it were made of flowing water. It was truly a strange feeling, as Gu Qiaoqiao had never seen such fabric before.

Looking at her face again, she was quite good-looking, but her eyes seemed unusual, seemingly fixed on her family’s Qin Yize.

There was an unabashed sense of amazement in those eyes.

Gu Qiaoqiao pouted slightly in her heart, but her expression remained calm. Such situations often occurred when she went out with Qin Yize.

There was nothing one could do; that’s just how the world is. People generally like beautiful things.

Upon seeing beautiful flowers, they stop to appreciate them; upon seeing beautiful scenery, they stand there and take photos to capture the memory. When beauties appear on the street, both men and women tend to want to glance back. It is even more so with a man like Qin Yize.

Gu Qiaoqiao had seen many such looks and was not bothered by them.

She smiled and followed Qin Yize towards the hall of Lijing Ho. However, as they passed by the girl, Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, why did she feel this girl’s aura had some Mystic Sect traits? Was she overthinking it?

Qin Yize typically remained focused and indifferent in such settings, especially with Gu Qiaoqiao beside him. To him, one Gu Qiaoqiao was enough for him to look at; why would he waste time noticing what children beside him looked like?

So when someone looked at him like that just now, he noticed it but merely glanced dismissively and then shifted his gaze as usual.

As they brushed past each other, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a chill all over, and turned her head abruptly. She saw the girl’s fingers flick, as if a light aimed at Qin Yize’s back.

Gu Qiaoqiao reacted swiftly, instinctively reaching out to shield Qin Yize’s back, and that speck of light landed in her palm. She immediately grasped that speck of light tightly.

Ouyang Rong’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, staring fixedly at Gu Qiaoqiao, her expression becoming less disdainful.

Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her hand until that Spirit Talisman disappeared without a trace, only then did she let go.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s sharp gaze turned to the girl, who also looked at her suddenly. Their gazes crossed in the air, one could almost see sharp lights confronting each other.

If the lights had sound, it should be a crackling collision and explosion.

Things seemed calm here, but beneath the surface, it was as turbulent as a storm.

However, before anyone noticed, the two girls looked away, but deep down they both knew each other were Mystic Sect members.

Gu Qiaoqiao curled her lips, and Ouyang Rong similarly smiled at Gu Qiaoqiao.

But Ouyang Rong’s smile carried a hint of arrogance and coldness, pointing to Qin Yize and then to herself, mouthing silently, ’He’s mine.’

Gu Qiaoqiao froze for a moment, not expecting this woman to be so direct.

Upon closer inspection, this woman wasn’t a simple young girl; at the very least, her eyes were not innocent at all.

Gu Qiaoqiao found it somewhat amusing, yet she moved her lips lightly, ’Psycho.’

No one knew if the woman understood, but she gave Gu Qiaoqiao a deep look, her gaze then falling on Qin Yize.

Looking at Qin Yize was naturally different than looking at Gu Qiaoqiao.

Of course, she was gazing at his back.

After a few moments, the woman turned and walked towards the upstairs room.

The two subordinates exchanged glances; one followed up worriedly, while the other walked out of Lijing Ho’s door.

Gu Qiaoqiao watched Ouyang Rong’s figure disappear by the elevator and then withdrew her deep gaze, saying to Qin Yize, who had stopped, "Ah Ze, I’m going to see An Xiaotong, you go find Master Fong."

Everything just now was in a flash, the two girls merely had a confrontation with their gazes, but without speaking, naturally, no one noticed, not even Qin Yize.

Thus, Qin Yize smiled slightly, nodded, and said warmly, "Let’s eat here tonight, I’ll have drinks with Fong Lei. We haven’t been together for a long time."

"Alright, see you in a bit." Gu Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement.

They parted, Qin Yize heading towards the kitchen, and Gu Qiaoqiao went to the front desk, and upon asking, she found out An Xiaotong was in the office.

Just as Gu Qiaoqiao was about to take a step, she suddenly remembered the girl earlier, smilingly asking, "A young girl went upstairs just now, a quite fashionable young girl. Is she a foreigner?"

"Do you mean the one wearing the white dress earlier?" The front desk manager spoke kindly, knowing Gu Qiaoqiao’s relationship with their General Manager.

"Yes, I mean her." Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to inquire casually.

"She’s returned from abroad."

"What’s her name? Can you tell me?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows, looking quite curious.

"Principally, we need to keep guest confidentiality, but since your relationship with our General Manager is so close, there’s no harm in knowing, her name is Ouyang Rong. Those two men are her bodyguards, residing in the room next to hers."

"What is she doing here?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked casually.

"They arrived this morning, probably here for fun, specifics aren’t very clear."

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t ask further, knowing it wouldn’t be appropriate to keep inquiring about one person, as it might raise suspicion. So she smiled and said, "Alright, carry on, I’m going to find your General Manager."

With that, Gu Qiaoqiao left the front desk and headed towards An Xiaotong’s office.

But Gu Qiaoqiao’s brow slightly furrowed; without a doubt, that young girl was from the Mystic Sect, her inner strength wasn’t low, and who knows what that Spirit Talisman was meant for? She merely flicked her finger and produced it, even quicker than Gu Qiaoqiao’s sky-drawing of talismans.

Moreover, the most crucial question was, what was this woman doing with the Spirit Talisman?

Did she intend to do something to Qin Yize?

Earlier, her lip movement seemed to suggest that Qin Yize was hers. Could this woman be interested in her man?

Are there such audacious girls in this world? Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head in disbelief.

But a sliver of vigilance remained in her heart.

San Qi, who followed Ouyang Rong into the room, quietly stood at the door, waiting for the young lady’s instructions.
