Back then, she was still tender-aged, her face carrying traces of baby fat that hadn’t completely shed. She stood at the lofty lectern, her voice crisp and pleasant, her expression calm and composed.
It wasn’t until she stepped down from the podium, holding a large bouquet of flowers and walking towards her father...
"Young Master Qian, Young Master Qian." Xiao Ran called out twice but Mu Shuoqian did not respond. He hesitated, wondering whether he should remind him again, when suddenly the sound of thunderous applause filled the room. Like a floodgate opening, reporters swarmed towards Gu Qili, who had just descended the stage.
Faced with the sudden blockade of countless microphones, the composure Gu Qili had on stage was no longer there. She could speak eloquently at the lectern, her gaze searching through the dense crowd for Mu Shuoqian’s assistance, but the corner where he had been was now empty. She was somewhat unsure if she was seeing things; he might not have been there at all.

That glance of his held layers of meaning – amazement, recognition, admiration, and some complex emotions difficult to decipher, certainly more than a simple blink.
