Gu Chaoyan looked just as skinny, but she was not as pale-looking and dull as she had been on the boat a couple of days earlier. Her eyes were very large, and despite her coldness as she was talking, her eyes were sparkling. If you took a closer look at her, you would find that she was a very good-looking girl with exquisite facial features.
However, most people would fail to see how beautiful she looked, because she had such an outstanding, poised and arrogant air that when you met her for the first time, you would only see the conspicuous red birthmark on her left eye corner.
Those things would automatically make people forget how beautiful she actually was.
She was so beautiful that he thought that she was like most of the other ladies in the capital, spoiled and troublesome. For example, how she behaved on the boat made him feel that a woman was a burden to them all.
