Grasslands?
Gu Qiaoqiao looked up at Qin Yize and said with a smile, "So what about it?"
Qin Yize was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Qiaoqiao, do you like grasslands?"
"I do, but unfortunately I haven’t been there yet..."
Qin Yize didn’t continue, instead he pulled Gu Qiaoqiao into his arms on the sofa, holding her small hand in his, and whispered, "There are many beautiful places in the world, and one day I will take you to see them all."
Gu Qiaoqiao nestled in Qin Yize’s embrace and softly responded, the corners of her mouth forming a gentle smile.
She believed that Qin Yize would keep his promise.
Nowadays, when they go out to play, money is not an issue.
The issue is time.
He is a man with great responsibilities; ninety-nine percent of his time belongs to his base and the Special Preparation Team.
The time he can give her is pitifully little.
So, they cherish their time together all the more.
The grasslands are beautiful and not far from the Imperial Capital.
But where would they find the time to go?
Gu Qiaoqiao stopped mentioning it, not wanting to burden Qin Yize.
She changed the subject, looking up at Qin Yize, "By the way, where is the book you mentioned?"
Qin Yize pinched Gu Qiaoqiao’s nose affectionately, "Aren’t you taking a few days of rest?"
"No need, I want the security company to open soon."
"Little money grubber..."
"That’s right, they say you’re living the good life with me, so of course I need to work hard to earn money."
Gu Qiaoqiao boasted proudly.
Qin Yize laughed, stroked Gu Qiaoqiao’s black hair, and said gently, "Okay, I’ll go find it for you."
Then, he stood up cheerfully.
Just as he was about to leave, he still held onto Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, "Come with me, I’ll tell you the rules for placing books in the study, so you can easily find whatever you want in the future."
His books?
It seemed she had never touched his books before.
She knew he had many books, and they were diverse, some of which were rare editions unavailable in the market, so his study was only accessible to family.
Gu Qiaoqiao was escorted to the study.
Qin Yize’s study was small, but three walls were lined with bookshelves.
They were the tall type of bookshelves.
The shelves were made of solid wood, very old, and Gu Qiaoqiao knew they were red sandalwood.
You could smell the unique subtle fragrance of sandalwood upon entering.
These bookshelves were just as precious as Qin Yize’s collection.
However, Qin Yize seemed very casual; perhaps in his eyes, there was only a distinction between content, not between valuable and worthless.
After Gu Qiaoqiao wandered around for a bit, Qin Yize patiently explained to her how to find the books.
He let Gu Qiaoqiao find the book she wanted herself.
One teaches, one learns, and soon Gu Qiaoqiao found the book she wanted.
It was the Chinese version, but the content seemed quite complex.
They didn’t leave the study, but snuggled together on the sofa in one corner of the study. Qin Yize let Gu Qiaoqiao first skim through, then focus on the parts she needed to learn.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s learning ability was growing day by day, so reading was not as difficult as before.
When Grandma Qin returned, Gu Qiaoqiao had already skimmed through most of it.
She had some ideas of her own now.
She had been at Yubao Square for some time and naturally learned a lot there.
So this task was easier for her.
Moreover, Qin Yize was there beside her.
Grandma Qin initially didn’t want to disturb the two youngsters in the room, but Gu Qiaoqiao’s hearing was sharp; she heard when Grandma Qin opened the door.
She and Qin Yize were cozily reading together, with heads leaned close, taking notes while they read. She lifted her head, looked at Qin Yize, "Grandma’s back, I’ll go take a look."
Qin Yize also put down the book and placed the notes between the book’s front pages.
Holding Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, they left the room together.
Grandma Qin watched the two approaching together, the handsome boy and the beautiful girl really were a perfect match, both having smiles in their eyes, very likable no matter how you looked at them.
