Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Watching Her For Too Long
Gu Jing was somewhat disappointed. However, his attention quickly shifted to buying a birthday gift for Qiao Yin. Disappointment quickly turned into anticipation.
He originally wanted to ask Qiao Yin what gift she liked, but she didn’t look at him anymore.
She didn’t seem interested in idle chatter with him. She was there, on the face of it, to treat Gu Guotai, so the treatment was the priority.
She turned to Gu Guotai: “Old man, shall we start with the acupuncture?”
Gu Guotai was also annoyed by his grandson’s overattentions and said directly: “Yes, let’s get started!”
Qiao Yin nodded, opened her medical box, and started working.
Acupuncture is a meticulous process, so Qiao Yin was deeply focused and didn’t have time to observe Gu Chengqiao anymore.
Gu Chengqiao watched her, half-kneeling in front of his father, disinfecting and applying the needles so earnestly, and he felt somewhat entranced.
It was as if he was back in the past, as if time had never passed, as if a woman who once dazzled him had come back.
She was so much like her mother that, when he first saw her, he almost blurted out her name, “Tang Tang”.
The acupuncture session lasted more than half an hour, during which Gu Chengqiao stared at Qiao Yin.
He stared at her so intently and for so long that his gaze carried a certain indescribable affection. Even the thick-skinned Gu Jing noticed that something was off.
Gu Jing couldn’t help but prod his father quietly, asking in a low voice, “Dad, what are you looking at?”
Gu Chengqiao came back to his senses and finally moved his gaze away: “Nothing, I was just wondering whether she can really cure your grandfather’s legs.”
“She definitely can, she’s amazing! She’s only done acupuncture a few times for grandpa, and his legs are already regaining sensation. And uncle said that grandpa stood up the very first time she did acupuncture, but Dr. Qiao wouldn’t let him stand, saying it would hinder recovery.”
“Well, as long as she can cure him.”
Gu Chengqiao replied absentmindedly, his gaze inevitably falling back on Qiao Yin’s face again.
She inherited not only her mother’s stunning beauty but also her exceptional medical talent. She is the spitting image of Shen Tang.
Gu Chengqiao clenched his hands, suppressing his surging emotions.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Tang…
What a pity.
After the acupuncture session ended, Qiao Yin packed up her things and stood up to leave.
Gu Guotai nodded: “Jing, give the tea to Doctor Qiao, you walk her out.”
“Yes, grandpa.”
Gu Jing couldn’t wait to accompany Qiao Yin, he shoved the tea leaves into Qiao Yin’s hands, eagerly moved close to her, and walked her out.
After the two of them left, Gu Guotai suddenly asked, “Chengqiao, you seem very interested in Doctor Qiao. Is there something wrong with her?”
“What could be wrong with her?”
Gu Chengqiao chuckled: “I was just taken aback by how much she resembles Shen Tang, so I stared a bit. Don’t you think she looks like her?”
Gu Guotai nodded: “Indeed, she does resemble her, not only in looks but also in her medical skills.”
“Exactly!”
Gu Chengqiao casually agreed, then said, “Dad, you should take good care of your health. You can call me if you need anything. You are getting old, and I should show more filial piety towards you.”
“I don’t need you to show filial piety around me. If you can straighten out Jing, that would be enough. Don’t worry about anything else!”
“Jing… his mother and I undoubtedly spoiled him a bit. You know, he was born prematurely and barely survived. He was weak and sickly when he was young, so we indulged him.”
“He’s grown up now, and he’s as sturdy as a calf being well-nourished. And you two still indulge in him? When exactly do you plan to stop spoiling him? Doctor Qiao is about his age, look how sensible and diligent she is! What about him? He spends his days drinking and partying, with a bunch of bad friends, never doing anything serious, he has lost all face for the Gu family!”
