Chapter 1208 The Man Appears (2)
When Gu Qingyao turned her head, the man smiled and said, “Miss Gu, it’s really you. I haven’t seen you for so many years. You haven’t 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 passed, but I’m 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. It’s an honor to meet you!” The man extended his hand and said politely, “How do you do? I’m 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, isn’t 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, aren’t 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, you’ve been back for so long. What’s your job?”
“I haven’t really held a job. My family is wealthy enough, and I don’t need to do much. I’ve studied medicine for so many years, so I occasionally treat a few patients and charge for consultation.”
Chu Yi smiled and said, “Miss Gu, don’t you think that’s a pity? You are an outstanding girl, and you’re so well-educated. You’ve even studied overseas. Now that you’re back, you have no opportunities to demonstrate your skills.
“You’re a fine, young girl, but you have no choice but to waste your youth every day, keeping your husband and child company. Miss Gu, don’t 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? I’ve already come back, and my child has grown up. It’s too late for regrets! “No one will pursue me now! It’s a young girl’s world now!”
Chu Yi gave a genuine smile.
“Miss Gu, don’t think like that. You’re 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-assurance 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 shined like a
star.”
