Chapter 1800: Chapter 1798: Never Underestimate a Poor Youth
Qin Yize hurried to the bathroom; it was already close to eleven at night.
Although tomorrow is the second day of the New Year, many friends and relatives will come to visit, so it won’t be easy. He and Qiaoqiao should rest early.
While drying her hair, Gu Qiaoqiao asked Qin Yize, "Are you sure the direction of those fireworks is from Ding Family Garden Villa?"
"Yes, I’m sure, it’s that direction." Qin Yize naturally took over Gu Qiaoqiao’s towel and carefully continued to dry her hair, saying, "Chu Chengfeng has an unfinished villa there, I guess Sister Xiao Wen must have gone there to set off the fireworks."
"Do you think Chu Chengfeng will go?"
"Why would he go? He’s with Liu Ling right now, gathering with old friends from West City District at a karaoke bar."
"How do you know?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow with amusement, looking at Qin Yize. This guy’s information seems to be well-connected, as if any question could be answered by him.
"A friend called to tell me." Qin Yize replied lightly and didn’t mention who the friend was.
"Is it Du Tian?" Gu Qiaoqiao guessed casually.
"Not him, it’s another friend you met once; but you surely don’t remember his name."
"Hmm..."
"Wife, why are you sighing?" Qin Yize gently asked as he continued drying Qiaoqiao’s damp hair.
"Do you think feelings between people reside in memory? Without memory, there’s nothing left. So, are we in love with memories or the person?"
Qin Yize couldn’t help but chuckle, giving a half-hearted compliment, "I didn’t expect my wife to speak so philosophically. I think you should switch careers to teaching philosophy."
Gu Qiaoqiao lightly punched him, playfully saying, "I’m serious. At first, when Chu Chengfeng and Sister Xiao Wen were together, I didn’t approve at all.
When we returned from Cloud Mist Mountain, he told me about it, and I thought it was impossible for them. But who knew things would unfold in Jinling City, making it possible for them to be together smoothly.
Upon returning, Chu Chengfeng persisted and eventually won over Sister Xiao Wen, leading to his proposal being accepted. From this, it’s clear that Chu Chengfeng loved Sister Xiao Wen as a person. But what was the result? Chu Chengfeng lost his memory, and consequently, the so-called love ceased to exist. I truly can’t understand."
"That’s why human emotions are the most complex, and memory carries everything." Qin Yize leisurely summarized.
Gu Qiaoqiao gently leaned into his embrace, slightly tilting her head up, "Ah Ze, if one day you don’t remember me, will our love disappear? Would you not even acknowledge Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei as your children?"
Qin Yize couldn’t help but be startled, his heart skipping a beat. He hadn’t expected Gu Qiaoqiao to ask him such a question.
He reached out, wrapping Gu Qiaoqiao in his arms, speaking softly yet firmly, "Qiaoqiao, even if I forget everyone else, I won’t forget you and our children.
If we have another lifetime, I’ll do everything to find you again, let you be my wife, and hold your hand to journey through life together once more. If I’m fortunate enough, I’ll bow and thank heaven for it."
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but curl her lips into a low voice, seemingly carrying a hint of pride, "Why so serious? Actually, I’m joking with you; you’re not Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, nor will you awaken any bloodlines. Besides, even if you were, if you dared forget me and bring another woman to provoke me, I would deal with you first, not letting you go anywhere."
Qin Yize pretended to be scared, raising his handsome eyebrows slightly, "Oh my, I can’t imagine such a time. So, even if the sky falls and the earth crumbles, at the end of the world, my eyes will be only on you."
"Your words sound as if I’m forcing you."
"If you can force me, it proves you are formidable. My wife is the most powerful, so to avoid being dealt with, I won’t let Chu Chengfeng’s situation happen to me."
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled.
"Smart thinking."
Qin Yize smiled and held his wife’s hand, pressing the bedroom light switch.
The first day of the New Year, although there wasn’t bright moonlight, the outside was lit up brilliantly, stars dazzling, making it hard to distinguish between heaven and earth, engulfed in a sea of neon lights.
The world became ever more quiet but beautiful.
The second day of the New Year, Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize stayed at home, as many visitors came by today. They remained to entertain.
Xiao Bai and White Wolf, specially allowed to go out by Gu Junbai, quickly reached Qin Family’s Courtyard like shooting stars.
Familiar with the place, they headed straight to the courtyard where Gu Qiaoqiao and the others lived.
The two children woke up early and were already dressed, crawling and playing on the carpet, with Qin Yishan’s Dongdong beside them.
Dongdong was older than Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, but had already learned to walk.
However, seeing Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei crawling happily on the ground, he stopped walking and joined in crawling.
Then White Wolf and Xiao Bai entered.
Indeed, everyone has their selfish desires, including Qin Yize.
Now that he’s with his cousin, the future can be foreseen. But having become a father now, he must consider the children’s future.
Moreover, White Wolf and Xiao Bai, although his cousin hadn’t told him about their origins, he already knew they were not just simple animals, but possessing human-like intelligence.
They are sometimes even smarter than people.
Privately, he hopes his children will be favored by these two creatures, possibly leading to good things.
Fortunately, the children are young, acting out of instinct and intuition; their world is purest, so even without scheming, Dongdong will quickly win favor with Xiao Bai and White Wolf.
Though not compared to the two cousins’ children, he isn’t far behind.
He doesn’t interfere.
Moreover, their world isn’t one he can easily enter; he’s outside now, helping his cousin entertain family guests.
Qin Yang and Luh Fei came to help too.
Today’s Qin Yang is different from the Qin Yang of the past. Those clansmen who once looked down on him must now look up to him.
Qin Yang didn’t do as imagined, seeking revenge or grudge.
No matter what, they’re still family.
For those excessive, he’d administer some punishment; for others, he let bygones be bygones.
He brought family to the Imperial Capital and owns his own house.
His mother’s illness now has money for treatment; his siblings have money for schooling.
