Chapter 1731: Chapter 1730: Crying Together

But if Gu Qiaoqiao does this, the Gu Family will not only rise to a higher level, but it will also be a good thing for the other children of the Gu Family.

Although Qiaoqiao is the successor of the Gu Family, it’s impossible for all of the Gu Family’s assets to belong to her.

Without specific regulations, these cannot be divided.

Even though the siblings are very loving now, human nature sometimes cannot withstand tests.

As of now, there seems to be no problem with the two daughters. One is married to the Qin Family and the other will be entering the Luo Family in the future; neither family will covet the Gu Family’s industries.

But Gu Zishu is the only boy in the Gu Family.

According to the old ancestral tradition, he is also expected to inherit the family business, but he has no interest in this and is not following this path.

However, eventually, he will grow up, eventually get married and have children. Even if he doesn’t desire this, what about his wife, his children? Therefore, clarifying many issues now will be beneficial for them in the future. It’s definitely not a good thing for siblings to turn against each other.

Moreover, as the old patriarch is gradually relinquishing power, it’s not just Zhang Yi who was personally nurtured by the old patriarch; even Gu Muran is gradually standing on her own. Comparatively, Gu Qiaoqiao now seems more like a casually appointed manager.

However, her status is irreplaceable, which is an unspoken understanding among the members of the Gu Family.

So the conflict is not necessarily going to escalate into something major. Planning ahead and nipping potential conflicts in the bud is beneficial for future development.

Even though this all crossed Qin Yize’s mind, it was just a fleeting thought. While teasing his smiling daughter Xiao Bei, he gently asked, "Qiaoqiao, have you talked to Great Grandfather about this?"

"Not yet. I wanted to discuss it with you first since you have a lot of experience in this area."

"I support your idea of forming a Yubao Square share company; it’s really a good thing to distribute some property and shares to family members and formalize it in documents. That way, everyone will understand that a rising tide lifts all boats. Naturally, they’ll all work toward the same goal.

"Yes, that’s what I think too. If, in the future, Zishu and Qianqian don’t work within the Gu Family’s industries, how will we give them certain assets they can’t manage? Problems will surely arise.

So I thought of doing what you’re doing: consolidating scattered industries into a share company and distributing what’s due to them. That way, whether they start their own families or have many children in the future, they’ll each have the means to secure their livelihoods..."

Qin Yize’s eyes were full of laughter, but there was a bit of concern. "Qiaoqiao, you’re already busy enough taking care of two babies, and this task won’t be easy. What are your thoughts?"

"I’ll discuss it with Great Grandfather first. Uncle Zhang and Gu Muran both have experience in this area. When the time comes, we can all gather to discuss it and come up with a satisfactory solution for everyone."

Qin Yize nodded, "Your idea is feasible. If you need any support, just let me know."

"Okay, then I’ll have you find me some professionals in this field when the time comes."

"Don’t worry; leave it to me." Qin Yize readily agreed.

He glanced at the time and then at his increasingly lovely wife. Qin Yize’s eyes darkened a bit. He mumbled softly, "Wife, why aren’t Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei asleep yet?"

"What do you want to do?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow, asking with a meaningful smile.

Putting Xiao Bei down, Qin Yize leaned in, kissed Qiaoqiao’s earlobe, and murmured in a hoarse, soft voice, "Qiaoqiao, we can do it now. I’ve checked; the timing and your health are fine."

"Really?" Gu Qiaoqiao earnestly questioned.

"Absolutely."

At this point, Qin Yize’s eyes lit up a bit, and the temperature seemed to rise slightly under that gaze.

He reached out his hand and wrapped Gu Qiaoqiao in his arms.

Just as he was about to lower his head for a kiss, little Xiao Bao, who was always quiet, suddenly flailed his two legs and started wailing loudly.

The two of them quickly separated in fright.

These two children are not even three months old yet. But looking at their chubby arms and legs, fair skin, and the spirited look in their eyes, they seem almost like one-year-olds.

Especially the little one, their cries are quite loud.

Gu Qiaoqiao was genuinely startled because Xiao Bao rarely cries.

He cried once at birth, then again during his full month celebration when surrounded by many people, seemingly out of impatience. This should be the third time.

Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly picked up Xiao Bao, the soft little baby with bright eyes staring unblinkingly at her, melting the hardest heart into a puddle. Xiao Bao’s tiny hand already had some strength, gripping his mother’s finger. Even though he wasn’t as smiley as Xiao Bei, the innate reliance and closeness still made Gu Qiaoqiao appear irresistibly gentle.

Qin Yize was dumbfounded watching them.

He really wanted to pounce on her.

But with his wife holding their child and not even glancing his way, Qin Yize awkwardly touched his nose, then glanced at Xiao Bao. The father and son locked eyes with an inexplicable connection.

Although he wanted to label this little boy as having plenty of schemes, looking at a two-month-old baby, Qin Yize felt he was overthinking it.

No matter how smart, a child is still just two months old; Qin Yize believed his child was indeed extraordinary and certainly smarter than others.

Currently, it’s also not evident which child may have inherited the Gu Family’s talents, or maybe neither of them did.

Qin Yize didn’t really care about that.

Initially playing quietly with bubbles, Xiao Bei, upon hearing Xiao Bao’s crying, also began crying loudly, seriously affirming that twins indeed operate in sync.

Thus, Qin Yize quickly went to comfort Xiao Bei. The earlier romance and sweet moments were entirely shattered by the cries of these two children.

Seeing Qin Yize’s annoyed expression, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but giggle.

This led Qin Yize, holding a child in one arm and wrapping the other around Qiaoqiao, to kiss her a few times before reluctantly letting go.

By the time the two children fell asleep, it was already ten o’clock at night.

Although Qin Yize still longed for it, he could only hold his wife regrettably and turn off the lights.

The cool moonlight enveloped them like water.

Gu Qiaoqiao had already fallen asleep. Even with family helping, taking care of two kids was truly exhausting, both physically and mentally.

So she nestled closer into Qin Yize’s embrace and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
