Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1438: Consequences

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened and she was about to refuse, but Qin Yize had already pulled her over. Gu Qiaoqiao exclaimed loudly, while Qin Yize smiled with delight.

Just like that, time passed between their playful banter.

Normally, Qin Yize was a very agile person, but at this moment, he seemed somewhat clumsy. Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao, who was fighting fiercely with Qin Yize, was convinced that Qin Yize was pretending, all for the purpose of gaining advantage.

"This is the first time I’ve had such a hard time putting on an outer garment..." Gu Qiaoqiao was sweating profusely and looked at Qin Yize with a long-suffering expression.

Yet, Qin Yize still had a satisfied smile on his face.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize with a complex expression, her voice fluttering, "Ah Ze, do you know what I most want to do right now? I’ll tell you..."

Only by doing that could she quell her resentment.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yize acted like a rascal, taking a few steps forward to stand in front of Gu Qiaoqiao. He stretched out his arms and softly said, "I agree, come on, Qiaoqiao..."

Gu Qiaoqiao was left speechless, "Qin Yize, I’ve come to realize you’re becoming increasingly shameless. Moreover, brazenly doing whatever you want during broad daylight. If this were the past, we would be..."

Saying this, Gu Qiaoqiao paused for a moment and then closed her mouth.

Qin Yize stood in front of Gu Qiaoqiao, knowingly teasing, "In daylight, what? Why don’t you finish?"

"Daydreaming!" Gu Qiaoqiao gave him a very hard glare.

Unfortunately, this glare was filled with love and laughter, as if she was unintentionally enticing Qin Yize. Qin Yize noticed that he especially liked looking into Qiaoqiao’s eyes; they were as clear as the autumn sky, utterly pure and free of any impurities. Every glance makes his heart flutter anew.

Thus, the result of Gu Qiaoqiao’s flirtatious gaze was being pulled into Qin Yize’s embrace and receiving a passionate kiss before she was released.

After they separated, Qin Yize was still unsatisfied. Yet, unexpectedly, as they continued to fuss with each other, it had already reached dinnertime, and the sky outside had darkened slightly. However, it was still quiet outside, clearly, everyone hadn’t returned yet.

Although all lived together, the place where the two of them stayed was practically a separate courtyard. As long as the young couple were in their room, nobody would come to bother them.

Except, of course, for Qin Xiaoyu who’s currently staying at school and wouldn’t return until Saturday.

And so, the couple headed into the kitchen together.

When Grandma Qin hurried back, the Qin Family kitchen was filled with the aroma of food and the occasional gentle laughter of her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Grandma Qin looked at the Qin Family’s living room with satisfaction, never having thought that life could be so flavorful.

Thinking of an old friend complaining about her own family’s troublesome affairs, Grandma Qin felt she was the luckiest old lady in the world.

Meanwhile, He Shan arrived at Ouyang Rong’s place. It was her first visit and had heard from Luo Er about the location. Hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it was another.

She took a deep look at the high walls of the neighboring Gu Garden and thought to herself, this Ouyang Rong was overly arrogant, brazenly obvious to this extent. The intentions of Sima Zhao are clear for all to see. Does he think everyone else is a fool?

A hint of a smile appeared on He Shan’s lips, then she concealed her emotions and slowly started to knock on the door.

In the night, only the dim yellow streetlights emitted a faint glow.

He Shan had already called before her visit. Hearing the knock, San Qi opened the door, furrowed his brows, and ushered He Shan in. By now, Ouyang Rong, exhausted from her antics, had fallen into a deep sleep.

The once arrogant young lady had indeed suffered a setback.

After leading He Shan into the reception room, San Qi suddenly spoke, "Miss He, we can’t cooperate for now."

He Shan was stunned, "Why?" Then she asked in return, "Are you planning to abandon me after crossing the river? I might agree, but my grandfather may not."

She still didn’t know about Gu Qiaoqiao successfully striking back, and San Qi wasn’t prepared to tell her everything. Best to keep it under wraps if possible.

"It’s not abandoning after crossing the river; it’s that the matter hasn’t succeeded at all." San Qi stated calmly.

"What do you mean?"

He Shan asked, frowning.

"It’s exactly what it sounds like, let’s leave it here for now. I need to wait for instructions from my master’s house."

He Shan was even more puzzled, "Isn’t Yubao Square already completely destroyed?"

Next was to negotiate terms with the Gu Family, take away that Hundred Miles of Mountains Map through special channels to the island, and then threaten the Old Patriarch to exchange Yubao Square with the jade mine from Xinjiang...

That was their initial plan, but now things seemed off.

San Qi looked at He Shan, a cold edge to his mouth, "You’ll see Yubao Square reopen tomorrow. I still have things to do here, so I won’t keep you any longer."

Unexpectedly, just after barely being seated, San Qi issued an order to leave. He Shan’s expression wasn’t good, also confused about the situation. But soon enough, she returned to normal, stood up from the sofa, sorted her thoughts, clearly aware something had happened, suddenly asking, "Aren’t you also after that painting?"

San Qi didn’t immediately reply to He Shan’s question; he wasn’t the owner and didn’t have the right to decide for the master. Given the current situation, who would want that painting? Safely returning to the island would already be a heaven-sent grace.

But San Qi wasn’t inclined to discuss this with He Shan. He solemnly stated, "Maybe we’ll have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, but regrettably not this time."

Seeing San Qi evading, He Shan realized something else had gone awry, but certainly, there’s something they couldn’t tell her.

He Shan scanned San Qi, raised her legs, and headed outside. Since that’s the case, there’s no point in further talks.

They didn’t want to cooperate anymore; she couldn’t force them either.

Having barely taken a few steps, San Qi following behind suddenly said, "I don’t know the grudge between you and the Gu Family, but using the Ouyang Clan to achieve your goals isn’t that easy."

He Shan abruptly turned, fixing her gaze on San Qi, suddenly smiling brightly, "Uncle San Qi, what are you saying? I have no idea."

"Forget it, we have nothing to discuss. I’ll have my master contact your grandfather."

San Qi waved his hand, a bit impatient.

At this moment, San Qi actually harbored a subtle feeling that perhaps they were being used by Old Thief He. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

If the Gu Family’s items were so easy to acquire, if the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map held earth-shattering secrets, then how could Old Thief He possibly hand off such a good opportunity?
