Gong Shaoying sized her up with a serious expression. His gaze fell on her eyes and brows. Her high nose bridge was practically an exact copy of Mu Qingcheng's.
Her cherry lips were alluring, just like in his memory of her standing on the stage, holding the microphone and singing a beautiful love song.
What uncanny resemblance…
Like a carbon copy!
Her face seemed to overlap with the face of that woman in his memory.
The more he examined her, the more Gong Shaoying's hands trembled. He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch her, but he was also slightly afraid, worried that this was just a mirage.
"Shishi." He lightly called her name as he bowed his head.
He called her name. It was his daughter's name!
The woman standing in front of him was the daughter he had lost for more than ten years…
It was that daughter that the woman had given him…
Gong Shaoying could not help feeling heartbroken.
The memories that were locked away in his heart seemed to have broken out of their cocoons, and numerous scenes now flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern…
The first time he saw Mu Qingcheng was at a banquet.
He was in the prime of his youth, in his early twenties. By that time, he had played the field, and had had many women. His family was in the shipping business and they had traveled extensively. He had seen much of the world and his heart had gradually become wild!
The reason he came to the capital was that as the heir, he had tagged alongside his father to attend a business meeting. That night, there was a banquet, and his father had asked him to attend on his behalf.
It was at this banquet that he first saw her.
Mu Qingcheng wore a gorgeous gown. Despite the style of the nineties, it could not hide her unparalleled beauty.
Their eyes met coincidentally and since then they could no longer be separated!
Gong Shaoying had been educated in the West since he was young. Hence, his open mind was quite different from the reserved mentality of most Asian men. Once he marked her out to be the one, he extended an invitation to her to dance with him.
Initially, she accepted his invitation only because she was too shy to reject it.
At that time, Gong Shaoying was definitely an outstanding and elegant person. Even though throughout her career as a singer, she had met countless people, she had never seen such a handsome man.
As a result, when they were dancing, she actually made a number of errors due to nervousness.
However, he did not seem to mind at all. Instead, he found her nervousness very adorable!
Gong Shaoying was also a formidable person. In the space of a dance, he had figured out her identity and background. Hence, a romance blossomed!
What he remembered most vividly was the time he invited her to go on a cruise. It was the Lantern Festival and he had booked the cruise ship. She wore a cheongsam for the occasion. Her graceful figure was charming and compelling.
He was a perfectly normal man. With a beauty in his arms, he couldn't help himself. He had her on the cruise ship.
It wasn't as though she didn't try to retreat out of restraint. After all, they had only been in love for a few months back then. Although she worked in a nightclub, her personality was relatively conservative.
But what kind of man was Gong Shaoying? He easily won her over with a few intimate moves.
That night, with his coat draped over her shoulders, she leaned against the side of the boat and reached out with her slender hands to stir the clear, rippling waters of the lake. On the surface of the water, wish lanterns floated past.
She made a wish that she could spend the rest of her life with the person she loved.
When he heard this, he was naturally moved.. He held her in his arms and said that he must fulfill her wish.
