Chapter 1665: Chapter 1665: Even When Stripped of All Honors, He Still Shines Bright (Part 1)

Qin Yize didn’t insist either. After sitting on a train for a day and a night, encountering a patient he didn’t want to see, and running into some unwanted people at the station entrance, Qin Yize’s mood wasn’t very pleasant.

He really needed a wash to get rid of the bad luck.

He kissed Qiaoqiao on the cheek and obediently went to the bathroom.

When he came out, the aroma of food filled the dining room, almost all of it dishes he loved. Qin Yize sat next to Qiaoqiao, the Qin Family’s dining table was just right for the two to sit side by side eating together.

Gu Qiaoqiao served Qin Yize a bowl of mushroom chicken soup, looking every bit the little virtuous wife, "Drink some soup first to warm your stomach. I simmered it all morning..."

Qin Yize was indeed hungry.

Huaxia Xinguo is vast, taking the train from Port City takes dozens of hours, and although the best special meals were provided on the train, the taste was still far off.

He wasn’t someone who can’t endure hardships. In the wilderness when extremely hungry and without conditions to light a fire, he and his team members also chewed raw wild vegetables and bitter roots.

But many things change with the environment.

For instance, this time, he didn’t need to come to Port City, the person needing his help was the one he least wanted to see -- Qin Yishan. He doesn’t have a broad enough mind to keep calling Qin Yishan his brother, so being cold, detached, eventually never interacting again is the best outcome.

Of course, if Qin Lang’s family harbors any ill intentions, he will, as in the previous life, personally send them one by one into prison.

They conspired with outsiders to ruin his family, and likewise, he will make the second branch of the Qin Family disappear completely.

But in this lifetime, they don’t have the chance.

That doesn’t mean the thoughts aren’t there.

He always harbors caution towards the second branch of the family. Now being asked to bail out Qin Yishan, he is naturally dissatisfied, but he has to bail him out, otherwise, he can’t explain to Great Grandfather and Grandma.

No matter what, aside from that smuggling incident, Qin Family’s second branch hasn’t managed to do other bad things yet.

So those who know the inside story naturally know the father and son of the second branch were being used, although greedy themselves, ultimately because their surname is Qin.

This is the part that Qin Yize cannot sever at present.

He can only endure.

And not only endure, but also safely bring the person back.

So throughout the journey, Qin Yishan was too scared to breathe loudly, carefully trying to please, reminding him of the young Qin Yishan, yet even so, he was too lazy to pay him any attention.

For now, peace is the best state.

Fortunately, at the station, the burden was dropped. Qin Yize arrived home, selectively forgetting about the second branch of the Qin Family, and enjoyed the sweet lunch with Qiaoqiao, taking turns feeding each other.

The couple hadn’t seen each other in days, so during the meal, they were a bit overly affectionate, but they finished eating eventually. After clearing the table and kitchen, the two sat on the sunlit floor, where Qin Yize began unpacking gifts for Gu Qiaoqiao.

Port City is near the S Country, so naturally, the market there sells foreign items like scarves, hats, and women’s fur clothes everywhere.

There were also various small mirrors and handicrafts with exotic flair.

Like the 30 cm high set of nesting dolls Qin Yize took out from his travel bag.

Under Gu Qiaoqiao’s delighted gaze, Qin Yize seemed to perform magic, taking out one adorable doll after another, until the last one was the smallest doll, the size of a fingernail.

Though this wasn’t considered a rare thing, it was indeed Gu Qiaoqiao’s first time seeing it.

She genuinely found it extremely fun.

Gu Qiaoqiao took the nesting dolls, put them back together one by one, then took them out again one by one, the laughter in her beautiful eyes.

Qin Yize liked this kind of Qiaoqiao; this kind of Qiaoqiao corresponded with her age.

The two sat side by side with legs crossed on the pristine original wood floor. Watching Qiaoqiao play joyfully, Qin Yize’s expression was gentle as he reached out to rub his wife’s hair, remembering his plans, he softly spoke up, "Qiaoqiao, I’m planning to resign from all my current positions. What do you think?"

Of course, he wanted to hear Qiaoqiao’s opinion on this matter.

If Qiaoqiao doesn’t want him to go back and take over the family business, he will continue striving in his current roles.

Gu Qiaoqiao held a wooden doll, genuinely stunned. She knew Qin Yize had this plan but didn’t expect it to come so soon.

Was it because of her?

Gu Qiaoqiao’s first thought was this.

"Ah Ze, didn’t you say two years later?"

This was what Qin Yize had previously told her about future plans.

After all, he initially agreed to work for another five years.

But it’s not even four years now.

"Currently, the base and national security are undergoing reform, estimating a merger into one department. If there are no other unforeseen incidents, I still have to take over Elder Shen’s position." Qin Yize said calmly.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what to say; in many matters, she supported Qin Yize. After all, their families didn’t conflict and they shared many similar beliefs. So although they love each other, they never interfere with each other’s work and choices.

"Ah Ze, I have no objection; whatever you do, I support you." Gu Qiaoqiao expressed straightforwardly.

"Hmm, with your support, I feel reassured." Qin Yize’s shoulders felt lighter, his eyes full of contentment, saying while helping Gu Qiaoqiao classify and fold the items, while the gifts bought for family and friends were already allocated in another travel bag, saving Gu Qiaoqiao any worry. She only needed to care about her own gifts.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao not only agree with his choice but also enjoy the gifts he brought, Qin Yize kissed his young wife’s cheek, filled with joy.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked through each item in the travel bag Qin Yize bought for her, the big wrap and scarf with exotic style were all wool, definitely warm when wrapped in winter.

Qin Yize, being playful, also bought himself a men’s scarf, similar in color and pattern to one of Gu Qiaoqiao’s, the kind of indigo blue, and although the room temperature was high, the two wrapped the scarves together, then stood in front of the dressing mirror...

One must admit, they looked so well-matched.

Gu Qiaoqiao decided she would wear them with Qin Yize when it gets cold a few days later, for sure attracting envy, and she really liked that kind of admiration.

After all, she is a bit vain.

Looking at Qin Yize, whose eyes only reflected her in the mirror, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly asked, "Ah Ze, there’s no turning back once the arrow is shot. Won’t you regret leaving your familiar roles?"
