One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

They were not very far apart, so he saw the expression on her face.

Surprise, shock, panic…

Mu Qingcheng covered her mouth with her hand, but she did not have the same self-control as him. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

"Shaoying…"

She did not expect to see him again in her lifetime, so she hurriedly pushed the door open and walked towards him. However, when she got closer, she immediately stopped and kept a distance of about ten feet from him, fearful of confirming that it was him.

Confronting each other brought about a sense of homesickness. She was afraid that if she got any closer, she'd realize it wasn't really him.

How could he not be equally fearful? He approached her and embraced her, but it was only a dream.

Mu Qingcheng's eyes were already blurred by tears. "Is… is that you…"

She carefully tried to verify that the man who had suddenly appeared before her was the man she had been waiting for.

Gong Shaoying smiled helplessly and immediately furrowed his brow. He took a deep breath and choked on his tears. "Qingcheng, it's me…"

"Shaoying… is it really you?" Mu Qingcheng took a few tentative steps closer to him and scrutinized him carefully until she was certain that the man standing in front of her was the man she had been yearning for and waiting for. She could no longer suppress her emotions and completely broke down.

"You're here, you're finally here…"

She had waited for so long!

She threw herself into his arms sadly and asked hoarsely, "What took you so long?"

…

"I've waited so long…"

…

"What took you so long?"

…

She snuggled in his arms, her tears staining his clothes.

He embraced her carefully, afraid that he would hurt her if he held her too tightly. Or perhaps, he was afraid that this was just a brief dream and if he held her too tightly, he might wake up, and the person in his arms would vanish.

However, when she tightened her arms around him, he did the same.

Even for such a simple embrace, they had waited for more than 20 years.

Mu Qingcheng said sadly, "I thought I'd never see you again…" She used the last of her strength to say to him, "I thought I'd never see you again in my lifetime…"

"How would that be possible? Silly girl, I'm here now, aren't I?" He held her tightly as he said, "Qingcheng, don't be afraid… I'm here to bring you home."

All her life, she had been adrift and helpless, with no one to rely on. Just like a migratory bird, she never had a harbor to perch in.

She was elated to hear what he had said. "Really? Will we… have our own family?"

"Yes! A family with me, you, Xiao Jie, and Shishi…" Choking even harder as he looked at her, he continued, "Let's never be separated again, okay?"

He held her face and studied her features carefully, desperately taking in every detail. She… was still beautiful as before. Her jet black hair, dazzling eyes that seemed to glisten with the light of ten thousand stars.

She stared back at him as if she had eyes only for him. How could she not want to take a few more glances at him? She gently held his face and tiptoed to kiss his forehead.

"Shaoying, I've never regretted it…" She did not regret waiting for him for so long. "Perhaps in this lifetime, I've exhausted all my luck just to be able to meet you."
