The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 421 - 418 Business Partner

Suddenly, Qi Longbing felt very annoyed. He placed a hand on Hua Xiaomo’s shoulder and looked at the man opposite him.

"Hello, may I introduce myself? I am Qi Longbing, and Hua Xiaomo is my girlfriend. May I ask if you are Hua Xiaomo’s business partner?" Qi Longbing said quickly, suspicion gleaming in his eyes. His gaze on the man always gave him an unsettling feeling.

"Oh, so this is Mr. Qi. Hello Mr. Qi, I am Loh Hua. I am a business partner of Hua Xiaomo, and may I say, you have excellent taste. Of course, I also have another role as one of Hua Xiaomo’s pursuers!" Loh Hua said with a laugh, then glanced at Qi Longbin.

The man was indeed dressed to impress, a typical tall, rich, and handsome figure.

However, it wasn’t long before Loh Hua continued with a smile, "Mr. Qi is quite the charmer, isn’t he? I have heard that the Qi Imperial Court is based in City A, but President Qi has actually made his way to City B. It seems you are married in City A, aren’t you? I believe I’ve even met your wife, Pan Yutong, isn’t that so? HA-HA, isn’t the world so small? To think that here we would encounter Pan Yutong’s husband!"

His implication was clear: Qi Longbing was playing the field, having a wife at home while claiming another girlfriend outside. Such a man could only be described as fickle-hearted. He meant these words for Hua Xiaomo to hear.

Hearing this, Hua Xiaomo obviously felt uncomfortable, her face flushing a dark shade. She hadn’t expected Loh Hua to speak so bluntly, effectively exposing Qi Longbing’s secret and putting him in an awkward situation.

Qi Longbing looked at him with a trace of a cold smile in his eyes and quickly retorted, "Mr. Loh seems to really enjoy meddling in others’ affairs, doesn’t he? No wonder he’s so free to do so. It’s just that a person like Mr. Loh probably doesn’t have any women who like him. If he did, now that would be a surprise."

Qi Longbing quickly threw back a jibe. Loh Hua was momentarily speechless, feeling rather embarrassed. He then turned to Hua Xiaomo with an attempted smile. "Xiao Mo, how about we go for a walk over there?"

Before Hua Xiaomo could reply, Qi Longbing took her by the shoulder and faced Loh Hua, "Does Mr. Loh really lack such self-awareness? Do you require me to speak plainly, or would you prefer me to have you thrown out?"

"HEHEHE, let’s drop it. A gentleman doesn’t compete for others’ favors. I won’t argue with Mr. Qi here anymore. As we are both civilized people, such bickering is meaningless, especially since Mr. Qi is a married man. It’s even more embarrassing for you, wouldn’t you say, Mr. Qi?" Loh Hua said, looking at Qi Longbing with a smile.

What right does he have to compete with me? Loh Hua fumed internally. On what grounds? He has a wealthy wife, Pan Yutong, whom he leaves at home uncared for, yet he runs off to City B to seduce Hua Xiaomo! Alright, I myself had been pursuing Hua Xiaomo for a year or two, but she always refused to take my calls, making it impossible for me to get close to her. I had even thought about giving up, which led to my indecision and lack of continued pursuit for that year or two. But unexpectedly, a year later, I bumped into her again at this reception! It seems we really are fated. If possible, I truly want to win over Hua Xiaomo. I feel she would suit me. Besides, isn’t it fashionable for the powerful to team up these days? If only Hua Xiaomo would be with me! Then, with our two companies united, our future would be even more prosperous and wealthy, and our lives together would be so much happier! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Stop it, both of you, just stop it, okay?" Hua Xiaomo pleaded, feeling somewhat annoyed. Without paying further attention to the two men, she quickly left the party.

"Chairman Hua, where are you going?" Xiao Qing asked as she watched Hua Xiaomo rush out and felt an urge to chase after her.

By then, Qi Longbing had also followed. He looked at Xiao Qing. "Xiao Qing, that Loh Hua is rich and handsome; take your chance and go after him. If you manage to catch him, you’re guaranteed a worry-free future of happiness."

Xiao Qing was stunned. Looking at Qi Longbing, she found an unsettlingly slick and strange gleam in his eyes—so very strange. Moreover, his gaze was entirely fixed on Hua Xiaomo, as if he couldn’t see Xiao Qing at all. Ah, that hurts, she thought, her heart sinking. Well, it seems I really have to give up. Besides, he’s talking about someone else, Loh Hua.

HA-HA, now I remember! Xiao Qing realized. That Loh Hua is another rich and handsome man, but the one he likes is Hua Xiaomo. I recall when he became a client of our Purple Demon Immortal Inquiry Company. His investment company collaborated with ours, and he even pursued Hua Xiaomo for a while—about a year, or was it two? I can’t quite remember if it was one year or two. Anyway, it led nowhere and just fizzled out. I never expected to run into him here again! What a coincidence! But Hua Xiaomo clearly won’t pay him any attention. After all, she has Qi Longbing looking after her now. Qi Longbing is so good to her, and it’s obvious Hua Xiaomo really likes him too. So, there’s no way Hua Xiaomo could like Loh Hua. He should really abandon that hope!

Loh Hua quickly chased after her as well.

The moment Xiao Qing saw Loh Hua coming out, she quickly stepped forward and splashed the drink from her glass all over him.

"Oh my! What’s wrong with you, girl? How could you spill your drink on me? Look, you’ve soaked my suit; you’re going to have to pay for this! You—what kind of person are you? Where’s your manager? Get him over here," Loh Hua exclaimed, furious as he suspected she did it on purpose.

Xiao Qing looked at Loh Hua and flashed him a broad smile. "Oh dear, I apologize, Mr. Loh. I’m sorry for spilling my drink on you. But how come I remember it as you who barged into my glass? It wasn’t me who dirtied you; you did it to yourself. You’re wrongly accusing me!"

"You little woman, how dare you argue back?" Loh Hua fumed as he stared at her, convinced Xiao Qing was there to cause trouble. Oh no! I finally got to see Hua Xiaomo after so long—probably the first time in two years—and then she just rushed off like that! What a pity! he lamented internally. Ah, when will I ever manage to win Hua Xiaomo over? I really like her personality!

Out of irritation, Loh Hua glared at Xiao Qing. "It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I would have caught up with Hua Xiaomo!"

"Mr. Loh, you might as well give up. Our Chairman Hua wouldn’t fancy someone like you. She likes Mr. Qi Longbing, so please stop bothering our Chairman Hua. Miss Hua Xiaomo prefers Qi Longbing and won’t have any interest in you."
