The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 427 - 424: Withstand Various Blows

"Qi Longbing, don’t get too happy too soon. The truth is, in Candy’s heart, she has always liked her Brother Zi Yunsui, and she also likes the idea of her Brother Zi Yunsui being her father. I suppose I shouldn’t be telling you this."

"But thinking about these things, I still have to tell you in advance so you can brace yourself for all kinds of shocks. Getting my daughter to recognize you as her father won’t be an easy task, you know. You’ll have to work hard!" Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, then smoothed his shirt with one hand and placed the other over her own chest, feeling its beat.

Qi Longbing didn’t speak for a long time after hearing this. He suddenly hugged Hua Xiaomo tightly, holding her for a long moment before releasing her. "I’m sorry," he said. "It’s my fault for not being there for you and Candy sooner, for not loving and protecting you properly, which led to your suffering out there. But from this moment on, I will love you both properly. Please, can you trust me, Hua Xiaomo?"

"Mhm," Hua Xiaomo nodded heavily and leaned into his embrace. At that moment, talk of forever seemed superfluous. Some issues would resolve naturally over time. She just wished this moment could last a little longer, last for a long, long time.

Happiness, it turned out, was such a simple thing, not nearly as complicated as she’d made it. Before, she had overcomplicated everything, worrying about Qi Longbing being married, then fearing he couldn’t get a divorce. And if he did, she worried there might still be some connection with Zi Yunsui on her end.

But now, all those worries seemed unnecessary. As long as Candy had a happy future, as long as Candy could be truly happy, then she and Qi Longbing being together, providing both fatherly and motherly love, would allow Candy to grow up happily. Actually, that sounded pretty good.

Hua Xiaomo truly understood now. At this moment, she didn’t intend to entertain any more complicated thoughts. She looked at Qi Longbing, caressed his cheek, and said, "Then I’ll wait here for your good news."

"Don’t worry; there won’t be any problems. I’ll be back by your side soon, with our daughter. I will definitely make you both happy," Qi Longbing said with a smile.

"Then come to my villa today, and we can go pick up Candy from school together, okay?" Hua Xiaomo said with a smile. She suddenly felt that having him by her side was a very good thing. At least they could do things together, they would have topics to talk about, and most importantly, they could pick up Candy from school together.

"Alright. I don’t just want to pick up Candy from school with you today. From now on, I’ll accompany you every day to pick her up from school and take her to school. I’ll arrange her life well. She is my daughter, and I will definitely love her deeply, and I will love you both too," Qi Longbing said, stroking Hua Xiaomo’s hair and drawing her into his embrace.

At that moment, he truly felt that happiness was just this simple. He didn’t want to think about anything else; he just wanted to hug her tightly.

As long as she was by his side, he would feel that this life was very happy. He wished it could go on like this forever, holding Hua Xiaomo, staying together happily for all time.

Together, they could do so many things, and he would help her realize many, many wishes. Money isn’t everything, but you can’t do anything without it. In this material world, money wasn’t their primary pursuit anymore. Their goal was happiness—for both of them to be happy, and for their children to be even happier. That was their ultimate aim.

"You put that so well, Qi Longbing. How is it that I find you so charming?" Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, gazing into his eyes. At that moment, she truly felt his eyes were incredibly beautiful and captivating, more so than ever before.

"Haha, do you think I’ve become more mature, Hua Xiaomo? It seems my charm for you is inexhaustible. Of course, your husband’s—my—charm is infinite! And hey, you better keep a good eye on me; don’t let anyone else snatch me away," Qi Longbing said with a laugh, looking teasingly at Hua Xiaomo.

In his heart, however, that wasn’t quite it. If anyone dared try to snatch him away, he would have long since driven them off with the vilest words. And of course, no one could possibly steal his Hua Xiaomo from him; she was the one he cherished most.

"Really? If someone tries to snatch you away, I’ll tell them, ’This man? He’s a master squanderer! He’ll bankrupt your entire family.’ We’ll see if anyone still wants you then, how about that?" Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, her heart feeling much lighter.

Just as she looked up, she caught sight of someone watching from upstairs. Huh, that looks like Ye Xiangxue. Did Ye Xiangxue see us?

Qi Longbing also followed her gaze and seemed to see Ye Xiangxue waving at them. "She looks like she’s asking us to come up. Xiao Mo, should we go up and see? Maybe she wants to tell us something?" he asked.

A moment later, Hua Xiaomo’s phone rang. Recognizing the familiar number, she answered immediately. "Hello, Ye Xiangxue? Has something happened?"

"Yes, Hua Xiaomo, Mr. Qi! Could you come upstairs quickly? It looks like Zi Yunsui has woken up!" Ye Xiangxue exclaimed excitedly on the other end, her voice brimming with unconcealed happiness.

"Okay, we’ll come up right now!" Hua Xiaomo quickly hung up, turned to Qi Longbing, and grabbed his arm. "Qi Longbing, let’s hurry to the ward! Ye Xiangxue said it seems Zi Yunsui has woken up. Let’s go check on him quickly!"

Qi Longbing didn’t overthink it and quickly stood up. Holding Hua Xiaomo’s hand, he nodded. "Yes, we must go see him. Zi Yunsui was in a car accident; he must be waking up from his coma now. This really is good news. Xiao Mo, it looks like our efforts haven’t been in vain."

Hua Xiaomo glanced at him. "Qi Longbing, I’ve noticed you seem to have become much more open-minded about things now. Qi Longbing, I have to say, you’re most charming at moments like this."

"Haha, I’m charming most of the time; you just haven’t noticed all my finer points yet! Why are you being so harsh on me? But it doesn’t matter. As long as our hearts are one, we’ll never be apart, right?" Qi Longbing said, looking at Hua Xiaomo, his incredibly handsome face practically glowing.
