It’s just because he’s not often home that it’s not noticeable. He doesn’t know where Gu Qiaoqiao’s insecurity comes from. In the past few years, the only woman he’s interacted with is her, with no one else. The most common people he interacts with are his coworkers, teammates he’s struggled with, and enemies he’s encountered on missions. His world and her world are fundamentally different. They can’t speak on the same wavelength, nor walk the same path. And so, a chaotic and confused year passed. Until that summer, something happened at the county guesthouse that made him realize the situation was more serious than he imagined. Gu Qiaoqiao went to the county with a few family members to shop, and was then dragged by Choo Lan and Zhu Xiaohong to the guesthouse to see their friend. There, Gu Qiaoqiao was grabbed by a drunken man who forcibly tried to drag her to a room upstairs. Googlᴇ search NoveI-Fire.ɴet If not for a passing traveler who saved Gu Qiaoqiao, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and at that time, neither Choo Lan nor Zhu Xiaohong were by Gu Qiaoqiao’s side. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t tell him about this incident. Perhaps she felt embarrassed, or maybe for other reasons. He learned about it from someone else’s mouth. Gu Qiaoqiao could pretend it never happened, but he couldn’t let this matter go. So he secretly investigated and found out the drunken man was none other than Choo Lan’s so-called friend. Afterwards, he confronted Choo Lan. Before this, he didn’t know Choo Lan’s feelings, until that moment when he realized that Choo Lan had always liked him. After graduating from university, she followed him to Border City, to this tough frontier base. But what did that have to do with him? Even if that were so, what right did she have to act as if nothing happened after her friend hurt Gu Qiaoqiao? At that time, there were still many things he didn’t know. When he found out, it was already years later. By then, the man had already gone home, and although the incident had passed for more than a month, he couldn’t let that man off the hook. The man’s name was Liang Mao, and he took leave to confront him, using his own method to punish Liang Mao, making him live the rest of his life in regret. Afterward, he called Choo Lan’s grandfather. Three days later, Choo Lan was taken away by the Choo Family’s old patriarch, and Zhu Xiaohong was dismissed from the base. That clueless Gu Qiaoqiao was still wondering where Choo Lan and Zhu Xiaohong went? He knew that because of the guesthouse incident, Gu Qiaoqiao had nightmares for half a month. She was just starting to get better, and since Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t bring it up, he couldn’t proactively mention it either. He could only pretend he didn’t know. At that time, his way of handling problems was still childish, his thinking superficial... It was only when he found time to reflect on the past year or so that he realized that Gu Qiaoqiao had made countless mistakes and foolish errors. He carefully analyzed it and concluded that Gu Qiaoqiao was too idle. At that time, he also blamed himself in his heart. He admitted that he was an irresponsible husband. It was after the guesthouse incident that he realized he paid too little attention to Gu Qiaoqiao, and that it was wrong of him. The reason Gu Qiaoqiao made so many mistakes was largely due to his neglect. Since he identified the problem, he aimed to correct it. So he asked Chu Chengfeng to mail him a box of books from the Imperial Capital, and then he gave Gu Qiaoqiao one to read from start to finish and write a review on. At that time, Gu Qiaoqiao was obedient to him. As long as he asked her to do something, she would happily do it.
