"Miss Guo." As soon as he stepped off the operating table, his assistant told Charles that Gu Nanzhi was waiting for his message in the office. He tidied his beard, pushed open the door and walked in, speaking in broken Chinese.
Those small-eyed people have no taste; they don't like big beards.
What fruit? Her surname is Gu!
Gu Nanzhi was speechless inside, but smiled gently on the surface.
