The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 426 - 423: I Will Definitely Make Candy Recognize Me as Dad

"I’m not angry. Alright, anyway, we’ll have many more children in the future, so there’s no need to be too sad. What do you say, Hua Xiaomo?" Qi Longbing smiled, looking at the girl beside him.

Then, he pressed her head against his chest. "Xiao Mo, can you hear this heartbeat? It’s beating just for you. Every moment, it’s thinking of you, wondering if you’re happy. So please, don’t think about those unhappy things anymore, okay? Although that incident took me by surprise—our second child didn’t come into the world safely."

"But it’s okay. We really will have more children in the future. After you marry me, I want to give you the happiest life in the world, and Candy will be with us too. We’ll take care of her together and ensure she has a beautiful future. This is my greatest wish right now, Hua Xiaomo. Will you help me achieve it?" Qi Longbing looked earnestly at the girl beside him.

Hua Xiaomo smiled faintly at him and, lying in his arms, said softly, "Then when are you going back to City A?"

Qi Longbing was taken aback. He looked at her and said, "What’s wrong? Are you trying to kick me out so soon? Hua Xiaomo, are you really that heartless? Do you have no conscience at all?"

"Didn’t you say you were going back to divorce Pan Yutong? I’m not even sure if you’ll be able to!" Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh. At this point, she was genuinely worried Pan Yutong wouldn’t agree to the divorce.

If that happened, it would be troublesome. She would become Qi Longbing’s mistress, and with Candy as an illegitimate child, people would surely laugh at them. Candy would also live under a lot of stress. Suddenly, Hua Xiaomo thought of another solution.

"Qi Longbing, how about this? If you go back and don’t manage to divorce Pan Yutong, could you please not acknowledge Candy? At least that way, Candy wouldn’t feel pressured or burdened. She could grow up peacefully, focus on her studies and life, and not carry the stigma of being an illegitimate child. Can you promise me that?" Hua Xiaomo said, looking at Qi Longbing.

She truly hoped Candy could live happily. She didn’t want her to know that her father was already married and had another family, and that from then on, she would carry the burden of being an illegitimate child. Her whole life would be unhappy then. Hua Xiaomo hoped Candy’s life could become peaceful in the future.

Qi Longbing pondered for a moment, realizing this issue as well. He gently stroked her head. "I know you want what’s best for Candy, but can you trust me? For Candy’s sake and yours, I will do my absolute best. I won’t let you down. Wait for my good news."

"So, when do you plan to go back?" Hua Xiaomo asked again, her eyes shining. This matter should be handled sooner rather than later. If it can be resolved quickly, that would be best. If not, they can still think of other solutions.

"Don’t worry. I’ll stay for three more days. After three days, I’ll leave. I’ll take care of things in City A. Once everything is settled, I’ll either return to City B or call you. Then you can come to City A, and we can have our wedding ceremony there," Qi Longbing said, looking at Hua Xiaomo.

A hint of tenderness filled his eyes; he really didn’t want to leave her. If possible, he truly wanted to take her straight to City A to get married, but such a thought was indeed very naive.

No matter what, he had to resolve his marriage problem first. Only then would he be qualified to talk about love with Hua Xiaomo, marry her, and then bring their daughter to live happily with them. Such a life was what he most hoped for in the future.

Alright, he would work hard for this goal. He would definitely succeed. Yes, there was nothing in this world that he, Qi Longbing, couldn’t accomplish. He knew he would succeed. He would definitely give her and their daughter a happy life.

"In three days? That’s so soon?" Hua Xiaomo looked at him, suddenly reluctant to let him go. She wrapped her arms around his waist. For some reason, she had been easily moved by him this time he came to City B. This feeling was unlike the one she had when she last returned to City A and how he had made her feel then. This was a true stirring of the soul.

"Going to miss me? Then come back with me. Once I’ve taken care of my affairs, we’ll get married right away. Hua Xiaomo, I really can’t wait to marry you immediately and then start a happy life together with our daughter," Qi Longbing said, stroking her head again.

His lips lowered to kiss her hair. That scent was something he never wanted to forget for the rest of his life; it was truly beautiful and intoxicating.

Hua Xiaomo smiled and nodded at him. "Qi Longbing, I promise you. Once you’ve taken care of your affairs, we’ll get married. Our family will never be separated again."

"Hua Xiaomo, you finally understand. That’s really great! It saves me a lot of worry too. Honestly, I was afraid you wouldn’t agree to marry me. But now it seems you, little rascal, had already figured it out. You’ve wanted our daughter to acknowledge me as her daddy for a while now, haven’t you?" Qi Longbing asked with a laugh. He then stroked Hua Xiaomo’s head again. He felt truly content at that moment. With her by his side, and with their daughter, his life was now the most complete it could ever be.

"How annoying! Don’t talk about me like that. I hadn’t thought that far, okay? Whether or not Candy will acknowledge you depends entirely on your efforts. I can’t help you with that. After all, a child’s heart is the most delicate. Whether she will acknowledge you as her father will depend on how deep your bond with her is," Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh.

"Haha, don’t worry, my bond with Candy is very strong. Last time, she even wanted me to take her to the zoo. Unfortunately, it was too late in the day, so we only went to the oceanarium and the amusement park. Next time, I will definitely take her to the zoo to see the lions, tigers, elephants, and kangaroos. I’ll also let her know that a kangaroo not only has a Kangaroo Mom but also a Kangaroo Dad, right?" Qi Longbing said, laughing.

Then, looking at Hua Xiaomo, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Don’t worry. I will definitely make Candy acknowledge me as her father. Besides, Candy and I really have great chemistry. She really likes me, I can feel it. So, there’s absolutely no problem in her acknowledging me as her father."

Hua Xiaomo smiled at Qi Longbing. It wasn’t that she was truly worried he couldn’t accomplish these things; she was just a little concerned about him.
