Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1416 - 1415: The Two of Us Sneak Away

However, the batch of jade sculptures from Xinjiang that was discussed with the Old Patriarch last time is still in the Jade Carving Workshop.

An hour later, He Shan selected two sets of tea sets and a Ming Dynasty vase, then had the staff package them up while she wrote a check.

Yubao Square has dedicated financial staff, so after confirming it, they accepted the check. He Shan had the man behind her carry these items and gracefully left Yubao Square.

From start to finish, He Shan and Gu Qiaoqiao just nodded at each other.

There wasn’t much of a friendship originally, so this was very normal.

The check was cashed out quickly, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The next day, the Old Patriarch returned, but Gu Lei still hadn’t come back, staying there to continue helping Gu Zhixing and the others. However, the Old Patriarch was evidently very satisfied, and it seemed that Yubao Square in Jinling City was operating well, putting Gu Qiaoqiao at ease.

After chatting with the Old Patriarch for a while, Gu Qiaoqiao went to the Qin Family. She hadn’t been there for several days. After buying some vegetables at the market, she pushed open the Qin Family’s gate, when a car horn sounded from behind her.

Gu Qiaoqiao turned to look and surprisingly saw Qin Yize’s car.

Qin Yize inside the car was smiling at her.

What a coincidence it was.

After dinner, the young couple returned to their room. Although it was autumn, it was a bit hot these past few days. After taking a shower, Qin Yize was drying his hair while saying to Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, this time I can rest for a week. Where would you like to go? I’ll take you there."

"A week, that’s such a long time." Gu Qiaoqiao said, her eyebrows curved with happiness. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao so happy, Qin Yize also smiled and teased her, "You hear I can rest, and you’re this happy, huh?"

"Of course I’m happy. You can come with me to play."

"But I feel you’re busy every day. Do you miss me?"

"Of course I miss you, but even if I miss you, I can’t call you. Who knows where you’ve gone?"

Gu Qiaoqiao said with a hint of reproach.

Qin Yize sighed softly. He originally wanted to tease Gu Qiaoqiao but unexpectedly stirred up a sense of guilt in his heart. He hugged Gu Qiaoqiao, with their foreheads touching and noses against each other, their breaths mingling, and Qin Yize’s voice resonating like a cello, "Qiaoqiao, one day, I will be by your side, seeing the sunrise with you, watching the sunset with you, doing everything you want to do together."

"But when will that day come?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked with longing.

Qin Yize pondered for a moment and then said softly, "Don’t worry, the future is so long. We’ll go through it little by little, turning one year into ten, ten into a hundred. Together, our time is as long as a millennium."

Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, "Who does it like that? Everyone else says one year passes like a day. Going slow is the way to go."

"No matter how, it’s the same logic. By the way, you haven’t said where you want to go yet."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the ranch, "Ah Ze, how did Great Grandfather handle the ranch?"

"He didn’t really handle it. What’s ours is ours. Besides, Second Uncle has no interest in the ranch at all. It doesn’t even have roads, so he won’t go there. Let’s not talk about him; his kids won’t go either. Raising cattle and horses, can they live such a life?"

Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and agreed. Qin Yize’s Second Uncle is someone who likes to enjoy life and prefers everything to be refined. Unlike his elder brother Qin Xuan, he likes trendy and high-tech things.

That desolate and remote ranch, how could he possibly go there? He probably couldn’t stand a day there, and it doesn’t even have electricity.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes shifting, Qin Yize pinched her nose playfully and said softly, "You want to go to the ranch, don’t you?"

"Yes, I want to see the ranch. The fruit tree opposite the lake must be bearing fruit now, right?"

Qin Yize calculated the time and nodded, "Around this time, the branches are full of red fruits."

"Then let’s go to the ranch," Gu Qiaoqiao said happily.

"Alright, let’s go to the ranch." Qin Yize agreed readily.

"Are we taking anyone else this time?"

"No, no one else. We’ll go quietly."

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded enthusiastically, and the young couple shared a knowing smile and chuckle.

Despite having to get up early to leave the next day, the long night felt exceptionally lengthy. Besides, they hadn’t seen each other for a while, and young men and women indulged in lingering affections on the bed until the night was deep before embracing each other to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the house next to Gu Garden, San Qi pushed open the door, dust-laden from travel, and seeing San Qi return, Ouyang Rong joyfully went out to greet him. This was the first time, and it was because of something San Qi brought back that she desperately needed.

This object could be considered her parents’ most precious treasure and their only one. After much begging, her father agreed, but he told her that no damage was allowed, or he wouldn’t forgive her, as their future breakthroughs depended on this object.

This is the Ouyang Clan’s magical artifact, named the Ruyi Ball.

The name sounds ordinary, but the object is far from ordinary. Its uses are immense.

Ouyang Rong carefully took the Ruyi Ball, which was the size of a fist. It seemed like it was carved from jade, yet it felt naturally formed, almost without a flaw. Rainbow-hued light flowed over the spherical surface.

Ouyang Rong smiled with satisfaction. With this item, what she wanted to accomplish was already successful.

San Qi, watching Ouyang Rong’s cheerful demeanor, still reminded, "Young Miss, the master instructed to be careful when using it."

"I know. This is my parents’ life-line. How could I not be careful? I just need to take it out for a walk."

The Ruyi Ball, as the name suggests, makes things go smoothly and as one wishes.

Thus, what Ouyang Rong wanted to do became easier.

Ouyang Rong was about to place the Ruyi Ball on the table to absorb the moonlight when San Qi quickly intervened, "Young Miss, the master said the moonlight in the Central Plains isn’t that pure anymore, just keep it in the box."

Ouyang Rong looked at San Qi with suspicion but knew he wouldn’t lie. So she reluctantly put the item away.

She glanced at the moonlight outside the window, thinking her skills were still lacking. How could she not see the difference in moonlight between these two places?

Early next morning, Gu Qiaoqiao, after getting ready with some simple things, was about to head to Qiaoze Ranch with Qin Yize when the phone in the hall rang urgently. Neither of them thought much of it, as Grandma Qin answered the call, only to find out that it was the Old Patriarch looking for Gu Qiaoqiao.
