Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 499: Eyes Filled With Longing

Gu Qingyao could see that Sun Mei was rejoicing in her misfortune, but she looked away and didn’t take it to heart.

Sun Mei put on a smile and said to Gu Qingyao, “Yao Yao, you’ve been gone for so long, have you adjusted to being back? I suppose life in the city is much easier than in the countryside? In the few months that you’ve been gone, you’ve become much fairer.”

Mo Beihan turned to look at Gu Qingyao. Had his Yao Yao become fairer after living in the city?

Nonsense!

His Yao Yao had always had fair and delicate skin. But... she really did seem fairer now. Her complexion was excellent and was soft to the touch. He had just kissed it yesterday...

Pity that he was only allowed to kiss her a few times. Yao Yao had not allowed him to kiss her any more than that!

She had glared at him with her large, clear and shiny eyes, and he could not bear to carry on!

But they had been a couple for decades!

Sigh...

Gu Qingyao raised her head to look at Sun Mei. She clearly remembered how much Sun Mei had despised her. At that time, Sun Mei had been inordinately arrogant.

Now that the Sun family’s fortunes had changed, her attitude had immediately changed too.

Before the Sun family’s incident, although Sun Mei had tried to please her, she was purposely trying to get close to her. This plan had probably been hatched by the adults in the Sun family. But it was different now.

She wasn’t only purposely trying to gain her friendship, the arrogance in her eyes had also disappeared and was replaced by caution and a desire to please!

To the point of shamelessly and brazenly trying to curry her favor!

This kind of persistence could be terrifying at times.

Sun Mei’s family had doted on her since she was young. Her family had only recently suffered from a misfortune. Usually, a person who had grown up under her circumstances wouldn’t be so quick to sense the danger she was in. She was more likely to continue being arrogant and retain her family’s sense of superiority.

But she had not.

The girl was terrifyingly sharp and selfish. She had easily discerned that her family who had doted on her would abandon her. A girl like that...

Amusement shone from Gu Qingyao’s eyes. In her previous life, this woman had caused her untold damage. She had not forgotten!

Now that this had happened, it would be going overboard to simply kill her.

After she and Mo Beihan had been reborn, their life had been smooth because of their grasp of the world’s future developments over the next decades and their advanced knowledge of many things.

She must not be arrogant and complacent and casually kill someone. After some time, it would become a habit, and she would be killing people like flies!

That would be bad. She must not allow herself to become like that.

She just wanted to live this life peacefully. She was not afraid of trouble, but she must not go about making trouble either.

Now that Sun Mei was bothering her, she would just think of some way to solve the problem.

The amusement in Gu Qingyao’s eyes deepened. “Life in the city is naturally much easier than life in the countryside. In the city, you don’t need to work in the fields and food can be bought directly from the stores. Jobs will provide food and cloth coupons, and all kinds of coupons are available. You will receive a salary every month. Life in the countryside simply cannot compare to it.

“When I’m in the countryside, I have to dig for wild herbs whenever I have the time! But I don’t have to do that in the city. There are many children in the city, and they all go to the city square to play during the evening. When it’s hot in summer, the houses have electric fans. And they have electric lights at night. It’s not like the countryside where everything is pitch dark!”

Sun Mei had always longed to live in the city, but she was not sure what life in the city was like.

She had only heard that city dwellers did not need to work for labor points, and many of them had jobs. Every month, they were given a salary and various coupons, so they could buy whatever they wanted.

Now that she heard Gu Qingyao’s words, she became incredibly excited. Her eyes filled with longing.
