Chapter 1: Father!
Silvery moonlight poured down, the stars stretched in distant rivers across the sky. Ruan Cha stood at the edge of the harbor, the cold wind whipping straight at her, sending her chestnut hair fluttering wildly in the air.
“Achoo—”
She sneezed, rubbing her reddened nose. Tucking her chin deeper into the soft scarf, she revealed only a palm-sized face, her ink-black eyes shining brightly in the darkness.
This was the seventeenth year since she had entered the world of “The Aloof CEO Can’t Live Without Me,” a Mary Sue romance novel. She’d waited so long, the flowers had withered. At last, her plotline was beginning.
…
“They’re here!”
In the distance, faint lights glimmered. The dark green sea stirred with waves. The ship drew steadily closer to the dock, and a crowd of reporters surged forward.
On this ship was Gu Zhenzhi, the mysterious elder son of the Gu Group in Mo City, returning from abroad. Rumor had it that someone of his wealth ought to fly, but according to whispers, Gu Zhenzhi had been frail since childhood and could not travel by plane.
There were also claims that Gu Zhenzhi had come home to claim his inheritance. Currently, the Gu family was managed by Gu Jiayan’s father, who scarcely cared for this eldest son—so he’d been sent back with little ceremony.
Upon hearing the commotion, Ruan Cha’s sensitive ears twitched. She rose onto her tiptoes and hurried forward.
After the ship docked for a while, its doors opened. Two lines of impeccably trained men in black filed from the deck all the way to the waiting stretch limousine on shore.
The reporters raised their cameras, desperate to leap several meters just to capture a clear shot of Gu Zhenzhi.
Ruan Cha watched intently, her gaze fixed on the stairway bathed in the bright lights leading to the dock.
A few seconds later, Gu Zhenzhi appeared.
Ruan Cha couldn’t wait; she tilted her head upward, and as her gaze collided with his deep, ink-black eyes, she froze.
The next moment, her fingers tightened at her sleeve.
Ruan Cha drew in a sharp breath.
The female supporting character in this book was truly clueless!
Gu Zhenzhi’s looks, even among the glittering stars of the entertainment industry, were unmatched. Especially those slightly elongated phoenix eyes, which lent his cold, aloof features an alluring charm. His features were sculpted like a masterpiece, crafted with utmost care.
His frosty aura kept others at bay, yet those enigmatic, bewitching eyes could capture a soul with a single glance.
Such a man, so exceptional in appearance and bearing, loved Ruan Cha to obsession—so much that, in the end, he died for her, and his death was tragic.
This supporting character must have been brainless.
Ruan Cha inwardly complained.
Then, gathering herself, she clenched her tiny fists and took several deep breaths.
Ready, poised—
As Gu Zhenzhi drew near, Ruan Cha pressed her trembling heart and, in a flash, darted forward!
“Daddy—!”
Her hoarse, high-pitched little voice sounded as if she’d suffered a terrible grievance.
Ruan Cha pushed through the crowd and hugged Gu Zhenzhi’s leg. Her deer-like eyes were reddened, her delicate nose wrinkled adorably.
“Daddy, I finally found you! Do you know how hard it was to look for you—”
Everyone present was stunned.
No one expected a young girl to suddenly rush out, cling to this mysterious, distinguished man, and call him Daddy!
Daddy?!
The reporters’ minds raced as they caught the keyword, and their cameras focused even more frantically on Gu Zhenzhi.
The mysterious elder son of the Gu Group, returned from abroad—already had an illegitimate daughter?!
