Hearing that it was Li Qing who was at the doorstep, Gu Chaoyan was instantly reminded of the young and impulsive doctor the day before.
‘What was he doing here again? She had made it clear the day before that she was not going to take any of them as a disciple. She had thought that it would conclude the whole matter, but now that man was here again, asking for her.
She would not meet Qian Shao, if it had been him, but Li Qing was a little different. He was slightly arrogant, proud and impulsive, but he was, somehow, quite straightforward.
Gu Chaoyan sighed. “Let’s go and check it out.”
She was not busy with any other business, other than that she might have to postpone her breakfast.
Xiu Jie led Gu Chaoyan outside.
Li Qing was seated in the lobby of Xinlin Clinic obediently as he glanced about as if worrying that Gu Chaoyan would not want to see him. His eyes brightened the moment he saw Gu Chaoyan. He stood up directly and started to head towards her.
Gu Chaoyan waved at him, telling him not to approach.
Li Qing let out an embarrassed smile and went back to his own seat.
Instead of being equally arrogant as the day before, he looked a little uneasy. He had spent the whole night pondering over the matter.
When he came to the clinic with Uncle Qian the day before, he had acted over the top. He and the other doctors believed that they were the best doctors of the capital with both social background and medical competences. However, this lady doctor at Xinlin Clinic was alone, and he had thought that they
could come and take care of her whilst she passed on the knowledge to them. The whole thing seemed very reasonable, but what they had forgotten was that doctors lived on medical skills.
They were stealing the livelihood from the lady doctor. So when the lady doctor asked Uncle Qian to make a deal with her by sharing the medical skills, she was teaching them a lesson – never to pass on what you did not want to to others.
Medical skills help people, and everyone should be part of the development. Therefore, he was here to apologize.
And secondly, he hoped to make a deal with her by exchanging his own medical skills.
Li Qing bashfully glanced at Gu Chaoyan, who was in the middle of drinking a cup of tea. She looked very calm as if nothing had happened. That made Li Qing even more embarrassed.
“L.. Lam here to apologize. I hope you can forgive me for being impulsive yesterday,” Li Qing said as he randomly put his hands somewhere.
Hearing what he said, Gu Chaoyan threw a look at him and nodded. “You are forgiven.”
Then she was about to stand up, but Li Qing shouted. “And one more thing! I really, really hope to be your disciple, your real disciple! I can share all of my medical skills as long as I can learn something from you.” Li Qing looked resolute and sounded determined.
The Li Family had been active in the capital for many years.
Their Liufu Hall might be a small clinic, but the reason why the clinic could prevail in the capital for so long was because their medical skills were quite powerful.
Li Qing had thought for a long time when making the decision.
After he became her disciple, he and his whole clinic would come to pay her respect.
Gu Chaoyan looked at Li Qing.
She was actually quite surprised. She had not expected that Li Qing was here for that reason, and that he even wanted to offer the most precious things of his family as a bargaining chip.
He was looking at her in a begging way, but
