151 My Life Plan Does Not Include You
Love, in traditional sense and in Han culture, has different interpretations.
And from a biological perspective, the explanations are even more detailed.
But were his actions a display of loving and desiring her?
Or was it just a fondness for the current peaceful and warm life?
It seemed that there was still some distance from love.
Qin Yize gazed at Gu Qiaoqiao with a straightforward and frank expression, “I don’t love you at the moment!”
Hearing the answer she wanted, a layer of sourness still spread in Qiaoqiao’s eyes at that moment.
It felt as though her heart had been pricked by a steel needle.
She cursed herself for being pathetic, isn’t this answer great? It solved the current predicament all at once.
What are you upset about?
Didn’t you already stop loving him?
If you’ve stopped loving, what are you still hoping for?
Gu Qiaoqiao slowly curved her red lips, a trace of coldness tinted her smile, just as she was about to speak, Qin Yize continued with a deep voice, “Please understand clearly, it’s that I don’t love you now, but I don’t dislike you, and what I just said was sincere. Since you said we could reconsider the divorce, then I think we may be able to continue living together, this isn’t a conflicting matter.”
Gu Qiaoqiao knew Qin Yize disdained to lie to her, just like his response about not loving her earlier.
Therefore, she knew what he had just said was the truth!
But she did not want to listen to this truth.
“In my heart, there is a conflict, if you don’t love me, how are we supposed to live on?” Gu Qiaoqiao retorted.
“Gu Qiaoqiao, then what have we been doing these days?”
“What have we been doing?” Qiaoqiao laughed coldly, “No matter what we’ve been doing, it’s not the way a husband and wife should be.”
“Then what do you think a husband and wife should be like?” Qin Yize apparently did not understand and asked earnestly.
Gu Qiaoqiao was somewhat embarrassed, “How would I know?”
At this point, Qin Yize glanced outside the window, suddenly a mischievous smile crossed his lips, he turned his head, gazed at Gu Qiaoqiao intently, and slowly said, “If you don’t think you’re too young and actually want to have a child, we can start now.”
“Who would have a child with you?” Qiaoqiao’s cheeks instantly blushed with twin spots of crimson, she protested in embarrassment without a second thought.
Qin Yize’s brows lifted slightly, his smile ambiguous, “Gu Qiaoqiao, right now you are still my wife by law, so even if you want to have children, you can only have them with me.”
Such blunt and barefaced words, laced with arrogance and assertiveness, struck Gu Qiaoqiao’s ears, making her heart pound like thunder and her ears turn red.
And the air in the room, because of this statement, suddenly grew charged with innuendo.
Gu Qiaoqiao was at a loss for words, her face turned away blushing, her lips tightly pressed, and her eyes restlessly shifting.
And such a Gu Qiaoqiao, Qin Yize’s anger from before gradually dissipated.
He simply took her as being capricious.
After all, she was young, still not fully grown.
As the proverb says, changing moods every day like cats and dogs is quite normal.
So he didn’t hold it against her.
Thus, Qin Yize relaxed the chill in his demeanor, and his gaze softened somewhat.
Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath.
She decided not to continue this topic with Qin Yize.
Because he always managed to shift serious, stern topics to another level.
And Gu Qiaoqiao had not expected that Qin Yize could be such a devilish person in certain aspects.
And this Qin Yize was even more difficult to cope with than the indifferent Qin Yize.
Gu Qiaoqiao tensed her little face.
She then moved her gaze to the window, not looking at Qin Yize’s expression, and said in a low voice to herself, “Qin Yize, the things I said to you in the Imperial Capital were sincere, I have no plans to move towards a future with you, and you are not in my life plan. Although I proposed a divorce and then went back on my word, which might seem inconsistent, if you think this hinders your life, I can sign the divorce papers right now and agree to it; I won’t influence you in the slightest.”
The young girl’s voice was low and soft, yet carried a hint of sadness and helplessness, and resonated in the confines of the cramped bedroom.
Qin Yize’s thin lips were tightly closed, as he scrutinized Gu Qiaoqiao intently, not missing any small movement on her face.
It seemed he wanted to know if Gu Qiaoqiao was truly speaking from the heart.
Moments later, he realized that Gu Qiaoqiao was telling the truth.
Qin Yize’s slight glimmer of hope had gradually vanished into thin air.
At this moment, Qin Yize finally understood.
The power to direct their marriage now lay in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hands.
It wasn’t like before, when as long as he wanted to continue with Gu Qiaoqiao, she would follow him without hesitation, without a hint of reluctance.
Now, everything was just the opposite.
