Chapter 2587 - 2588: He Looks Much, Much Older

Gu Qibao also quietly listened on the side. When she heard news about Bo Chengxin, Gu Qibao felt no particular stir or emotion in her heart, perhaps because she had long lost any feelings for this person.

Listening to her story now, she felt like just a person hearing a tale.

Facing Bo Chengyan, Gu Qibao was even more composed.

Seeing Bo Chengyan again at his age, it was unbelievable for Gu Qibao to see strands of white hair at his temples. Though not obvious, upon close inspection, several strands could really be seen.

Whether it was due to the sunlight hitting him just at the right angle, Gu Qibao saw it nonetheless.

She couldn’t quite tell if it was really his white hair or just a trick of the light.

Looking at this, Gu Qibao simply pursed her lips into a smile and took a deep breath, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

Hearing Bo Chengyan speak casually about Bo Chengxin, she thought, maybe Bo Chengyan was indeed tired after all these years.

The Brother Chenghe she used to admire most now had become someone who would guard another woman for a lifetime, while the Di Mingjue she once quite disliked is now the father of her child, the man set to protect her for a lifetime.

Gu Qibao quietly fixed her gaze on Bo Chengyan’s face, and only then did she realize she no longer felt any ripple of emotion towards it.

Little Yiran came over, plunged into Di Mingjue’s arms, and pouted playfully, complaining that Nangong Yi bullied her.

The coldness originally present in Di Mingjue’s eyes vanished, filled now with an affection that seemingly the entire world could not contain. Without a word, he picked up Little Yiran and forcefully went to confront Nangong Yi.

With Di Mingjue gone, an empty seat opened up between Gu Qibao and Bo Chengyan.

Bo Chengyan looked at Gu Qibao and gently smiled, "Xiaoqi, long time no see."

Gu Qibao turned to look at him, and only then noticed that indeed, his temples did have strands of white hair.

"Long time no see." Gu Qibao pressed her lips together, then asked, "Brother Chenghe, do you plan on taking care of Bo Chengxin for a lifetime? Do you still love her?"

"Not quite love, but there is a sense of responsibility." Bo Chengyan diverted his gaze somewhat downward.

In his heart, he now felt undeserving of Gu Qibao, an unworthiness even to look directly at her.

Upon hearing Bo Chengyan’s words, Gu Qibao nodded and revealed a delightful smile, saying, "A man with responsibility will not have bad luck, Brother Chenghe, you should open your heart. If there is someone suitable, there’s no harm in finding one."

Bo Chengyan chuckled, somewhat self-deprecatingly and said, "Who would fancy someone like us?"

"Someone will." Gu Qibao deeply inhaled, gazing at the dappled sunlight outside as she spoke, as if to herself or to Bo Chengyan, "There is always someone waiting for you in this world; everyone has one, sooner or later."

"Perhaps." Bo Chengyan nodded, idly turning to look at the dappled sunlight outside, replied, "I look forward to it."

Gu Qibao laughed, still as endearing and lively as ever.

She had hardly changed over the years, still as beautiful, cute, and vivacious as ever, that’s due to a happy marriage and a caring husband. So despite time passing, she seemed almost frozen in that moment.

In contrast, sitting beside her now, Bo Chengyan looked much, much older...
