Chapter 1208 The Man Appears (2)
When Gu Qingyao turned her head, the man smiled and said, Miss Gu, its really you. I havent seen you for so many years. You havent changed at all. You are still as beautiful as ever.
Gu Qingyao was sure that she did not know this person. She smiled and replied, Do you know
me?
The man laughed and said, Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to meet Miss Gu at a banquet. I already thought that you were an outstanding beauty then. So many years have pa.s.sed, but Im still unable to forget you.
I saw you from afar and thought you looked like Miss Gu, so I came over, and it was really you. Its an honor to meet you! The man extended his hand and said politely, How do you do? Im Chu Yi!
Gu Qingyao shook his hand lightly. Gu Qingyao! Chu Yi withdrew his hand and could not help but brush it with his fingertips. It had been so nice to hold that delicate little hand in his palm.
A pity that it was just a light touch!
Chu Yi said, Was Miss Gu dissatisfied with her life overseas? Why did you come back to China?
Gu Qingyao leaned against the counter and looked at Little One who was playing wildly. She laughed. My home is here. I was only studying overseas. Once I finished my studies, of course I had to come back. Chu Yi said, But the living conditions overseas are much better. Your mother and the others are also overseas. You did not have to come back at all.
The living conditions here are too poor. Miss Gu, isnt it hard on you? No!
Just one simple word. Nothing extraneous.
Chu Yi frowned and continued to make conversation.
The environment in China is so dull. Miss Gu, arent you bored here? There is so much more freedom overseas and many forms of entertainment. Things are much more conservative here. Oh, by the way
Miss Gu, youve been back for so long. Whats your job?
I havent really held a job. My family is wealthy enough, and I dont need to do much. Ive studied medicine for so many years, so I occasionally treat a few patients and charge for consultation.
Chu Yi smiled and said, Miss Gu, dont you think thats a pity? You are an outstanding girl, and youre so well-educated. Youve even studied overseas. Now that youre back, you have no opportunities to demonstrate your skills.
Youre a fine, young girl, but you have no choice but to waste your youth every day, keeping your husband and child company. Miss Gu, dont you have any regrets?
If you had not returned to China and gotten married so quickly, you would have more achievements and more choices. Or if you had stayed overseas, many people would have courted you.
Gu Qingyao smiled briefly. Then what should I do? Ive already come back, and my child has grown up. Its too late for regrets! No one will pursue me now! Its a young girls world now!
Chu Yi gave a genuine smile.
Miss Gu, dont think like that. Youre still very young. With your looks and talent, you still have plenty of admirers. And they are men of the highest caliber.
Gu Qingyao paused. Oh? Does Mr Chu really think so?
Chu Yi said earnestly, Of course. When I first saw you overseas, I felt that you were different from other women. Your self-a.s.surance is your greatest charm. That is related to your abilities.
I even heard that Miss Gu has excellent medical skills and gained some fame overseas. Think about it. You were still studying then! You were so young, but you had already achieved so much. If you had a little more time to grow, Miss Gu, you would have s.h.i.+ned like a
star.
