Gu Qiaoqiao sat down opposite him.

She had just taken a bath, her half-wet hair scattered over her shoulders, carrying a faint fragrance.

Dressed in a beige nightgown.

Like a wintersweet blooming quietly under the moonlight.

The room suddenly felt a bit stifling hot.

Although the fan was blowing, Qin Yize felt as if there was a small flame burning at the bottom of his heart.

He put down the book in his hand and gazed steadily at Gu Qiaoqiao.

The pitch-black of his pupils whirled with endless darkness, instantly enveloping Gu Qiaoqiao.

The air seemed to bear a certain pressure.

It made Gu Qiaoqiao hold her breath for a moment.

She even had the illusion that in the next moment, Qin Yize would pounce on her like a leopard.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s body tensed up.

She had been careless, forgetting that Qin Yize was a man.

A man with vigorous vitality who had a liking for her.

Although she didn’t know what he was about to do, his gaze was different from usual, resembling a wild beast stalking its prey.

As if contemplating where to strike would be best.

Gu Qiaoqiao was startled by her own thoughts.

Just when she decided to stand and flee back to her bedroom, Qin Yize across from her rose slowly.

The dark tumult in his eyes receded like a retreating tide.

In the blink of an eye, all that remained was the cool moonlight spreading across the night sky.

Qin Yize seemed quite surprised as he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao. He glanced around, his handsome brows slightly raised, asking, “What’s wrong? You seemed suddenly frightened.”

Gu Qiaoqiao choked up.

She had been frightened.

But how could she explain?

She was at a loss for words!

Gu Qiaoqiao looked as if she had grievances she couldn’t express, which delighted Qin Yize. His steps were light as he went to take a bath.

Even though he had just bathed, feeling heat all over, he still needed to bathe again.

His pride in his self-control, once again, came into play.

Qin Yize silently rejoiced.

Otherwise, Gu Qiaoqiao might have been frightened enough to run to Gu Garden in the middle of the night.

By the time he finished bathing and came out, Gu Qiaoqiao had already closed the bedroom door.

A corner of Qin Yize’s heart felt empty. He lazily lay on the sofa, forcing himself to think about the case.

Only today had he learned the true reason why they called him back to the Imperial Capital Base.

The intelligence center had received a report that a spy organization from a certain country had dispatched a team of over a dozen people to form a special operations squad.

Their goal was to sabotage our country’s economic development and hinder the growth of our technological power.

They were scattered throughout Da Jiang, and perhaps the Imperial Capital was their command center.

Because only by getting close to the center of power or the economic hub could they acquire the information they wanted.

Therefore, linking the events of the day before yesterday, Qin Yize believed that Scar Two and the mastermind behind him had close ties with that special operations team.

The situation was grave; he could not afford the slightest negligence.

To him, romantic entanglements seemed somewhat extravagant.

He would wait a while longer.

After this matter was resolved, he would decide how to persuade Gu Qiaoqiao to stay.

Or perhaps let her go free.

He let out an almost inaudible sigh, picked up the book to cover his face, and then casually turned off the table lamp.

Under the night sky, his long eyelashes fluttered over the pages, and the pages rustled softly.

He stopped thinking and slowly closed his eyes.

Moonlight poured in like water, and summer insects chirped and twittered, oblivious to the joys and sorrows of the mortal world. With all their might and life, they composed a delicate poem in the summer night.

In distant Border City, on the kang of a courtyard house to the east of the county, Grandma Yu suddenly woke from a dream…
