Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 718: Moths to a Flame

And the Qin Family too had been affected by her own family’s trouble.

Furthermore, Qin Yize’s increasingly good treatment of her made Gu Qiaoqiao let down all her guard.

The subtle knot in her heart was also relegated to a corner.

She did not know if she still loved him, so whenever she was asked whether she still loved him, Gu Qiaoqiao could not answer.

But she knew that she did not dislike him.

In this lifetime, she had never felt dislike towards him.

Qin Yize was a person of pure and noble character.

She could hate him.

Hate him for ignoring her.

But she could never find it in her to loathe his character and his quest for integrity.

Yet despite all this, Gu Qiaoqiao still understood.

For some inexplicable reason, she could never fully open her heart to Qin Yize.

She would never love him as passionately as she had in her previous life, burning like a moth to a flame.

Therefore, when Dongfang Yu threatened her, at that moment, she felt a sense of relief deep down.

It was as if a heavy mountain pressing on her chest had been lifted away.

The long-standing inner turmoil and the disdain for all her own affected emotions vanished like smoke in the air.

She even felt she should thank Dongfang Yu for presenting such a condition, giving her a reason to leave Qin Yize and the Qin Family without looking back.

Wasn’t her very wish upon having been reborn to leave Qin Yize, to divorce him, and to sever all ties with the Qin Family?

Now that she had finally realized this wish, she should feel relieved.

Despite the fact that her wish had been realized under duress.

And even though it had hurt Qin Yize.

She had still achieved it.

But why?

Why did her heart now ache as though she couldn’t breathe?

Thinking of Qin Yize’s dim eyes, she felt even more pained than him.

Gu Qiaoqiao steeled her resolve.

In this critical moment, such emotions were unacceptable.

Qin Yize, such a shrewd man, kept asking her today if there was anything she couldn’t talk about. Perhaps he had guessed that she was being threatened.

It was her approach to Dongfang Yu and the caring words she spoke that might have led Qin Yize to give up on her.

So she could not fall at the final hurdle.

If Dongfang Yu were as capable as Qin Yize, she wouldn’t choose to leave Qin Yize at this time.

It wasn’t about friendship, nor about love.

It was simply an obsession.

But not now.

The enemy they faced was too powerful.

Gu Qiaoqiao calmed herself down and took a deep breath, her hands at her sides tightening into fists.

The immediate priority was to open the Mysterious Dragon Box, and Gu Qiaoqiao finally realized that Dongfang Yu was waiting for her to open it.

So what would happen at the moment of opening the Mysterious Dragon Box?

She could only do her best and leave the rest to fate.

Gu Qiaoqiao, with her hands in the pockets of her cotton coat.

Dragging her somewhat floating legs, she walked towards the not too distant gate.

This alley belonged exclusively to the Gu Family.

As the entire alley was lined with homes owned by the Gu Family.

Therefore, there were no other pedestrians.

And since something had just happened, nobody had seen it.

Nevertheless, Gu Qiaoqiao took a moment to compose herself at the doorway.

Dragging her heavy feet, she walked into the yard and then saw Lian Yuhong anxiously waiting for her at the entrance.

Gu Qiaoqiao knew that her mother was still hoping for Qin Yize to come over for a meal.

But Qin Yize might never come again.

Gu Qiaoqiao no longer wanted to explain.

Explaining was too exhausting.

With an expressionless face, she walked towards the house.

Lian Yuhong grabbed Gu Qiaoqiao’s arm, "Qiaoqiao, where is Ah Ze?"
