Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1273: Not Allowed

Standing outside the noodle shop, Gu Qiaoqiao looked up, and sure enough, a dark cloud drifted in from the west. The air felt humid, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Summer rains are like this; they always come suddenly.

The group got in their car without delay and sped towards the Imperial Capital.

The small noodle shop was quickly left behind.

These people were all very perceptive, and in the car driven by Qin Yize, only Gu Qiaoqiao sat beside him; even the little white cat had been taken away by Shang Qing.

Seated next to Qin Yize, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly expressed her concern, "Ah Ze, do you think after we leave, Zao Hua will give Sister Li a hard time?"

"Verbal difficulties Sister Li might be used to, but nothing more than that," Qin Yize replied calmly.

"Why nothing more than that?"

"Lu Hao’s allowance isn’t as exaggerated as Zao Hua claims. Even if he gives all of it to his mother, it probably won’t be enough. Otherwise, Sister Li wouldn’t have opened a shop. For the sake of money, they won’t make it too hard for her."

Perhaps this is reality, cruel and terrifying.

Gu Qiaoqiao stopped asking further and suddenly recalled something, with a smile in her eyes, "Ah Ze, when are you returning to the base?"

"The day after tomorrow."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes flickered as she deliberately asked, "Can I go back to the Qin Family Old Residence tomorrow?"

Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao with a smirk forming on his lips, focusing on the road ahead as he said word by word, "No, you can’t!"

"You’re so domineering!" Gu Qiaoqiao protested, raising her voice.

"Qiaoqiao, it’s not about being domineering. I’m only home for two nights. Are you really willing to leave me alone in an empty house?"

Qin Yize complained like a wife grumbling about her half, making Gu Qiaoqiao laugh enchantingly.

The sound of her laughter, as clear as silver bells, echoed in the car.

Qin Yize then realized Gu Qiaoqiao was teasing him intentionally.

He shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with affection. Just then, the sound of rain pattered on the roof, and rain mist quickly enveloped the front.

Summer rains always come so suddenly.

Qin Yize slowed down, driving Gu Qiaoqiao through the rain.

The rain stopped, and they reached the Imperial Capital.

Qin Yize took Gu Qiaoqiao directly back to the Qin Family Old Residence.

By this time, the sky was painted with the splendid colors of a setting sun.

Trees rinsed by rainwater appeared fresh and vibrant, like leaves carved from emerald gemstone.

The individual leaves shimmered even more translucently under the sunset glow.

And the dust on the road had long disappeared, merged with the earth by the rain.

The Qin Family Old Residence was as it always was.

It was almost dinnertime.

Seeing the two return together, Grandma Qin immediately beamed with joy, while Shen Manru entered the kitchen to prepare two more dishes.

After chatting with Grandma Qin for a while, Gu Qiaoqiao followed Qin Yize to their room.

Grandma Qin’s eyes crinkled with laughter. If she wasn’t mistaken, it seemed these two had gotten closer.

The inadvertent springtime air flowing between their brows made Grandma Qin feel that her wish to hold a great-grandchild was soon to be fulfilled.

And in the bathroom, the mist reminded Gu Qiaoqiao of the hot springs on the grasslands.

If only those hot springs could be moved home.

As she let her thoughts wander, Qin Yize walked in boldly, wearing only a bath towel, his body radiating a scorching intensity.

Gu Qiaoqiao nearly cried out in surprise, but Qin Yize silenced her red, petal-like lips.

Over the past few days, they hadn’t had a proper chance to get close due to the number of people around.

It had been three days of restraint.

For Qin Yize, who had tasted the sweetness, it was undoubtedly a form of torture.

Seeing but not tasting.

That kind of feeling was unpleasant.

Driven by passion, Qin Yize nearly made love to Gu Qiaoqiao in the bathroom.

Fortunately, he stopped at the last moment.

The two of them, after much playful chatter, finally tidied up and stepped out of the room, fully dressed.

Qin Yize returned to his usual calm demeanor.

While Gu Qiaoqiao cast a glare at Qin Yize before heading to the kitchen to help.

At this time, Shen Manru was cooking. Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao enter, she quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, the dishes are almost ready. You must be tired from the journey. Just go keep your grandma company. She’s been mentioning you these past few days..."

"Alright, I’ll go accompany Grandma." Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t refuse, naturally sitting beside Grandma Qin and talking about the Qiaoze Ranch.

Qin Xuan put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Qin Yize, "Ah Ze, what do you plan to do with that ranch?"

Qin Yize casually replied, "I haven’t thought about what to do yet. I’ll leave it for now and decide later."

Qin Xuan sighed, "Your great-grandfather’s fondness for you makes me happy, but neither your second uncle nor third uncle knows about the ranch yet. If they find out, they might make a fuss."

"The heart of man is never content, like the snake that tries to swallow the elephant. Even if given everything, they would still be unsatisfied, thinking Great Grandfather had hidden treasures they don’t know about..."

Qin Yize stated this in a calm, matter-of-fact manner.

Qin Xuan hesitated; his son had a point, and it was indeed true.

Although his second brother and nephew appeared honest on the surface, opinions lingered in their hearts.

They just didn’t dare express them.

"Your third uncle isn’t too bad, but your second uncle..." At this point, Qin Xuan paused, glancing at Grandma Qin.

After all, he was her son too.

As the saying goes, both sides of a hand are flesh; in matters like this, Grandma Qin was also in a difficult position.

Grandma Qin understood what her son meant and gave him a displeased look.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the kitchen and said with a smile, "The dishes are ready, let’s eat..."

So, they dropped the topic.

After chatting for a while, Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao returned to their room. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Once they had washed up, Qin Yize went to the study to sort through letters, while Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at the big bed.

This was their earliest home.

They once lay on the same bed like strangers, minding their own business, and even their breathing was distinctly separate...

But now...

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could finish daydreaming, an ardent body embraced her from behind.

Then, they both fell onto the bed.

Qin Yize’s starry eyes were dreamy, his breath hot, softly calling, "...Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao..."

Without waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to respond, a searing kiss enveloped her entirely.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if she had something to say to Qin Yize, but her mind was already a swirl of fireworks.

She decided not to think about anything anymore, surrendering to Qin Yize, immersing herself in the fervent springtime passion.

The night deepened, and the moonlight flowed like water, as if a faint mist spread around.
