He let the police cars and Chu Chengfeng’s car pass them by.
Qin Yize continued driving at a steady speed.
They hadn’t yet reached the Imperial Capital, and at this moment, they were driving through the countryside.
The sky, filled with the glow of the setting sun, merged with the endless green land under the golden light of the setting sun, blending into a stunning palette of colors that made one’s heart tremble.
Qin Yize even had a wonderful thought—he wanted to keep driving like this with Gu Qiaoqiao.
Until the end of time.
He slightly lowered his gaze and looked at the girl beside him.
The sun cast a fiery afterglow, making Gu Qiaoqiao’s face blush, her ponytail slightly askew, but those clear, water-like eyes were exceptionally bright.
Qin Yize’s hand, gripping the steering wheel, tightened slightly as he suddenly remembered a phrase, “eyes as clear as springs, eyebrows like distant mountains.”
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He recalled taking wedding photos with her a year ago, on a day when a light drizzle was falling, like silk threads, hitting the petals on the roadside, dropping into puddles, and causing ripples to spread.
She held a small floral umbrella, her steps lively, her eyes as clear as springs, her eyebrows like distant mountains, just as she was today.
Only her face carried a bright smile.
As if she didn’t care about his silence, she went on chirping about whatever she wanted to say.
Despite the gloomy weather, she seemed like a little sun under that floral umbrella.
Making his overcast heart also filled with sunlight.
He felt that marrying such a girl wasn’t as sad as he had imagined, it was more like a relief.
Qin Yize sighed inwardly; in less than a year, that chirpy girl had disappeared.
Since New Year’s Eve, he hadn’t heard her chirp at him again.
It was his fault, wasn’t it?
Yes, it was his fault!
It was his indifference and aloofness that had changed Gu Qiaoqiao into a different person.
In the span of a year, she had grown into another image entirely.
Yet, he still didn’t dislike her like this, he could even say he liked her.
It turned out that there really is such a feeling, no matter what the other person becomes, he still treats her as he did at the start.
Thinking this, Qin Yize couldn’t help but glance at Gu Qiaoqiao again.
She wore a beige shirt, the hem of which was tucked into the same colored tapered pants.
The tender colors made the nineteen-year-old girl look youthfully striking, full where she should be, slender where she should be.
Like the first hint of spring on the branches of a begonia tree in spring, stunning and eye-catching.
Qin Yize was somewhat distracted.
After a moment, he opened his mouth somewhat abruptly and in a mood-killing tone, “Are you hungry?”
“Not hungry,” Gu Qiaoqiao replied crisply, looking straight ahead.
The jeep continued to move smoothly, and there was a momentary stagnation in the air.
Qin Yize suddenly felt that the car was a bit stuffy.
The heart that normally felt as expansive as to accommodate the sky was, at this moment, as if clogged with something.
He thought, as a man, he should take the initiative to talk to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Instead of avoiding the topic.
He slowly stopped the car.
Turning around, his eyes, as dark as Black Cleansing Stone, focused intently on Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao, however, was taken aback, pulled out of her muddled thoughts, she looked at Qin Yize in surprise as he suddenly stopped the car, her eyes questioning.
Qin Yize slowly began to speak, his voice softly low, “Qiaoqiao, can we talk?”
Qiaoqiao?
He called her Qiaoqiao!
In his entire life, he always addressed her with her full name, Gu Qiaoqiao, and now suddenly, he called her by her nickname—Qiaoqiao!
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart seized, and after a few breaths, her heart began to thump—what did he want to talk about?
Gu Qiaoqiao pursed her red lips but said nothing.
Yet a flash of wariness crossed her eyes.
Qin Yize pretended not to notice, and once the bow was drawn, there was no turning back.
Since he had started, he must carry on decisively.
“Qiaoqiao, what are you thinking now, do you still want to divorce me?”
He asked softly.
The setting sun cast a faint golden glow on the side of his face, giving his handsome features a touch of warmth.
His voice was soft, yet exceedingly earnest.
Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath and nodded equally seriously, “Yes, there’s no need for us to continue entangling with each other. It’s not good for either of us.”
Qin Yize felt a sinking feeling in his heart, an answer he had anticipated, but still one he did not want to hear.
“Remember you said you wanted to wait for three years, right?” Qin Yize rid his eyes of their dark haze, still asking softly.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt she had been a bit impulsive at the time; after all, who could have predicted that things would develop to this point in just a few months?
She had found the enemy from her past life who had caused her family’s downfall.
But still, it was with Qin Yize’s help that she had managed to do so.
This, she could not deny.
She softened her voice, her gaze tender, “I was impulsive when I said that, so I hope to submit a report to the organization when we go back. It won’t affect your life in the future.”
Qin Yize tapped lightly on the steering wheel a few times, supressing his frustration, and then suddenly asked Gu Qiaoqiao, “The divorce report has to be rewritten, what reason should we use this time?”
Reason?
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned.
Wasn’t it already settled last time?
“Just say we have no feelings for each other; would that work?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked tentatively.
Actually, this was indeed the truth.
Qin Yize had not yet reached the point of loving her as she had once loved him.
At most, he had changed his view of her, developing a slight fondness.
So, now was the perfect time to pull back from the brink.
Qin Yize’s expression grew somber, as if he was considering her words seriously.
Gu Qiaoqiao watched him a bit nervously.
After a long pause, Qin Yize spoke earnestly, asking Gu Qiaoqiao sincerely, “Qiaoqiao, do you hate me?”
As he repeated these two words in his mind and finally said them aloud, he realized how pleasant the name Qiaoqiao sounded.
Just like when he had been moved hearing ‘Ah Ze’ from her lips.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head; even though she didn’t know why Qin Yize had suddenly asked this, she answered honestly, “I don’t hate you.”
“Do you resent me?”
Once confused, she had resented him, but that feeling had long since passed.

“I don’t resent you,” she said without a moment’s hesitation.
His Qiaoqiao was always so straightforward.
Love and hate, always so clear-cut.
Qin Yize persisted, “Then do you wish for me to be punished, demoted, forced to take off this military uniform?”
Ah?
Why did the question suddenly become so severe?
Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if she was choking.
Qin Yize’s eyebrows lifted slightly, waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao’s response.
With an air of calm and ease, that was just him—making one feel helplessly inclined to continue the conversation.
“I don’t hope for that.”
“Qiaoqiao, may I ask you a question?”
“Uh…” Gu Qiaoqiao felt the spacious Jeep suddenly become cramped, and she mustered up her courage to say, “You may.”
