Chapter: 3100
After Gu Qiuyi finished reading her heartfelt message, the lights in the stadium suddenly lit up. Fans erupted into tears, realizing that this meant the performance was over. Just like in a movie, when the lights come on, it signals that the show has ended.
Gu Qiuyi had just said goodbye using her own words, so there wouldn’t be any returns or surprises. All the fans sat in stunned silence, struggling to process what she had just said. They couldn’t believe that their idol had announced her sudden retirement from the entertainment industry.
At just 25 years old, Gu Qiuyi was at the peak of her career. If she continued, she could become one of the most famous Chinese singers in the world. But now, this superstar with such a bright future had decided to leave for good. For her fans, this news felt like a thunderbolt.
Many female fans, who were already feeling fragile, were overwhelmed with grief. Male fans looked upset too, some clenching their fists in frustration. They felt betrayed that their beloved goddess was giving up her fans for a man. This not only hurt their feelings but also stung their hearts. They realized that in her eyes, no man could compare to her prince charming.
Even Xiao Churan was taken aback. She stared at the stage in disbelief and whispered, “How can you just leave like this? How can you just…”
“Why should we give up everything for a man? There’s still so much to look forward to! What about your own dreams? You can still sing even after getting married and having kids!”
Many people in the crowd shared these thoughts. They couldn’t understand why Gu Qiuyi was making such a big sacrifice for a man. Among the thousands of people there, only three truly understood her. Two of them were her parents, and the third was Ito Nanako.
Ito Nanako had been taught from a young age to become a good wife and mother. In her mind, her own personality, hobbies, and career were not as important as achieving that goal. Deep down, she thought, “I really admire Gu Qiuyi for having the courage to express what she wants in front of everyone. If I had the chance, I would gladly give up everything to be with Charlie Wade for life, just like her…”
Charlie Wade was touched by Gu Qiuyi’s words, especially when she mentioned donating all her earnings to help orphans. He knew this decision stemmed from her ten years of experience in the orphanage. It made him realize how much she truly cared for him.
