“Are you okay?”
The man’s steady and charming voice rang in her ears.
A pair of big palms that carried the fragrance of medicine helped Gu Qiqi up forcefully. However, he was very gentlemanly and immediately withdrew his hand to avoid touching her skin too much to avoid causing her embarrassment.
Gu Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat!
After avoiding him for a few days, they finally met face-to-face!
Gu Qiqi licked her lips and was embarrassed to look Chu Junmo in the eye. She tilted her small head slightly. “Yes, yes. It’s… okay.”
He should be referring to the exam just now, right? She had two perfect scores. Of course, it was better.
Chu Junmo’s gaze became even deeper. He really wanted to address the elephant in the room and ask her something like, “After you went back with Gong Jue that day, were you okay? Did he make things difficult for you? Did he force you to do something that you weren’t willing to do…?”
However, he couldn’t bear to make things difficult for her in the end.
Chu Junmo smiled slowly and said, “Your performance today wasn’t bad. Next time, when Fengyang Chu sets the questions, I believe that you will be able to do it with ease. Your professional ability and talent are obvious.”
Upon mentioning her abilities in the pharmaceutical profession, the nervousness in Gu Qiqi’s heart eased a lot. “That’s not necessarily true. Director Feng’s questions are indeed tricky. Honestly speaking, I’m not confident.”
“Have you seen him before? Have you offended him before?” Chu Junmo couldn’t help but ask. Even he could tell that Feng Yangchu loved and hated Gu Qiqi so much.
Gu Qiqi laughed bitterly. “We only met once. I don’t know how I offended him…”
Could it be that she had pointed out his wrong fighting style in the Five Animal Mimicry by the lake that day and made him angry? Or was it because she didn’t wait there for more than an hour?
The old man’s temper was so unpredictable!
“Don’t worry too much either. He still loves talent more than anything else in the end.” As Chu Junmo spoke, he took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere in the chat and handed Gu Qiqi a gilded invitation. “I know that you’re very hardworking. Be it preparing for the entrance exam in the pharmaceutical school or preparing for the Lan Ting, it’s very exhausting. However, you have to relax for a while after studying and working. I organized this banquet. Remember to come and relax, okay?”
Although it was a question, that gentle persistence almost made people unable to refuse.
She even felt that it was a crime to reject him.
After all, who would reject such a handsome man if he asked her a question softly?
Gu Qiqi opened her mouth in astonishment.
What day was it today?
Why did Bai Yingzhu invite her to Qing Yuxuan’s cocktail party and Chu Junmo also invited her to a private banquet?
She was holding two big red envelopes in her hand. Those who didn’t know might think that she was married.
She opened it and saw that the date didn’t conflict with Bai Yingzhu’s, but…
“This is a teacher-student banquet? Would it be inappropriate for me to go?”
Chu Junmo curved his lips slightly. “Young Lady Qiqi, you’ve forgotten that my teacher isn’t anyone else but Old Master Gu. Back then, at Old Master Gu’s birthday banquet, I was overseas and heard that there was a problem with the birthday gift. I haven’t had the chance to make up for it with my teacher. For one, the students want to celebrate his birthday for him. Secondly, it’s also a rare gathering for everyone. It’s very suitable for you to participate.”
But he didn’t say anything.
Qiqi, I want to hold your hand personally and introduce you to everyone in the high society in the Imperial Capital.
In fact, he even wanted to beg his teacher to let him marry her…
Afraid of scaring this sensitive girl, he held back his real motive and deliberately spoke casually.
It was fine as long as she could participate.
Gu Qiqi thought for a while. Her grandfather would also be there. Since she wasn’t willing to return to that troublesome place in the Gu family, she could use this opportunity to meet her grandfather outside and chat with him. It wasn’t bad either.
“Okay, I’ll go.” She agreed.
The two of them chatted.
Little did she know that Bai Yingzhu hadn’t left yet.
She stood in a corner of the corridor and looked at the elegant and steady Chu Junmo.. Her eyes were bloodshot when she saw that he was chatting so gently with Gu Qiqi .
