The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 433 - 430: It’s Good Enough to Take Care of Yourself

But who can say for sure what life will be like in the future? Besides, he couldn’t walk his children’s paths for them; everyone has to walk their own. What will the scenery be like ahead? Others can only admire it from the sidelines, while oneself truly savors it, that mixture of pain and joy.

"What you said makes sense too. Let’s talk about the future when it comes; we can’t manage so much right now! Taking good care of our own matters is already pretty good," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile, then looked at him happily. "Let’s hurry up and have lunch!"

After the two had lunch, they went to the prestigious school to pick Candy up.

As soon as Candy saw Hua Xiaomo, she ran over to her like a shot.

"Mommy, Mommy, I’m so happy! You finally came to pick me up! I really missed you! Mommy, Mommy, I want a hug, I want a hug!" Candy said with a laugh. Her grape-like eyes darted around gleefully, and eventually, she noticed the handsome man next to Hua Xiaomo.

Her eyes widened as if she’d discovered a new continent, staring unblinkingly at Qi Longbing with her large, bell-like eyes.

"It’s Handsome Uncle! Handsome Uncle, why are you here too? When did you come? Ah, why are you with my mommy? Handsome Uncle, did you come specially with my mommy to pick me up from school?"

Candy asked, hopping with excitement. The moment she looked at Qi Longbing, her eyes sparkled. Every time she saw this handsome uncle, she thought of toys, and it was the same now. She remembered he had bought her lots of toys. Every time she saw him, she got very excited, always wondering when he would come again so he could buy her more toys.

Qi Longbing looked at Candy, stepped forward, took her in his arms, and kissed her, saying with a laugh, "Yes, Candy, you’re really smart. I came with your mom to pick you up from school! Also, do you remember last time you told Uncle you wanted to go to the zoo? Uncle promised you, but we never made it, so Uncle felt very guilty! Uncle has decided to take you to the zoo tomorrow, on the weekend. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Little Candy grew visibly excited, clapping her tiny hands and exclaiming, "Oh, yes, yes, yes! Uncle, you’re so nice! You’re such a good person! You have to come play with me more often! Oh, wait, no, you’re here to see my mom. Then you have to come to our house often so I can have lots and lots of toys, and also go to the zoo! Oh, and next time, take me to the movies! I really want to watch a movie, but Mom said it would hurt my eyes and wouldn’t let me."

"And Mom is too busy; she never goes with me to the cinema, and I have no one to go with. It seems like only Brother Zi Yunsui took me once before, and I haven’t watched a movie since. Uncle, will you take me to the movies, please?" Candy looked at Qi Longbing, smiled, and said, then she hugged his neck and gave him a big kiss on his handsome face.

Qi Longbing laughed aloud. "Sure, I’ll take you to see a movie next time. But tomorrow, we’ll go to the zoo first, and the day after tomorrow, we’ll go to the movies, okay?"

"Yes, yes! Uncle, you’re the best! The best and handsomest Uncle!" Candy said. Then, looking at Hua Xiaomo, she pouted. It was as if she was showing off to Hua Xiaomo: You won’t take me to the movies, but now I have someone who will, and he’s a handsome uncle!

Hua Xiaomo frowned slightly when she heard Qi Longbing agreeing to Candy’s requests. She looked at Qi Longbing. "How can Candy go to the movies? It’s really harmful to her eyesight. Besides, how could a child understand adult films shown in the cinema? It’s better if she doesn’t go. Those could have a bad influence on her."

"Xiao Mo, you’re busy with work all day and don’t have time to spend with your child. And now you’re even commenting about her wanting to watch a movie," Qi Longbing said, glancing at Candy. "You’re always working. Haven’t you realized that many movies shown in cinemas nowadays are animations suitable for children?"

"And those big animated feature films are all ones Candy can watch. Moreover, if any big animated movies are released in the future, just tell Uncle. Uncle guarantees he’ll take you to the premiere."

"Yes, yes! I want to see the premiere! I want to see the premiere!" Candy exclaimed excitedly, then once again kissed Qi Longbing’s cheek. "Uncle, you’re so handsome, absolutely dashing! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone as handsome as you, Uncle. Even Brother Zi Yunsui is just a little bit younger than you, but he doesn’t seem as handsome as you!"

Qi Longbing looked at his daughter, a stir of happiness in his heart. He really wanted to tell her that he was her dad! Of course, no man in the world was as handsome as him.

"Alright, Candy, don’t pester Uncle anymore. Come on, let me hold you," Hua Xiaomo said, reaching out her arms towards Candy.

Qi Longbing took a step back, looking at Hua Xiaomo with a slightly awkward expression. "It’s fine, just let me hold her for a while. Aren’t you going to get the car? You go get the car; I’ll hold her."

Their entire exchange sounded just like a family, and from a distance, they looked even more like one.

By this time, quite a few children were looking in their direction. One little girl, accompanied by her mother, walked over to them. The child pointed at Candy and said, "Candy, that doesn’t look like your Brother Zi Yunsui, does he? I think your Brother Zi Yunsui came last time. Who is this? Could he be another one of your brothers?"

Then another child chimed in, "Candy, Candy, you can’t always have so many ’brothers’ coming over, can you? Where’s your dad? Why don’t you ask your dad to come?"

These words made Candy feel rather embarrassed, and Hua Xiaomo’s expression turned grim.

The parents of these two children exchanged meaningful glances before looking at Hua Xiaomo. Bringing one man to pick up her child was one thing, but now she’s brought a different one. This woman is so fickle!

Moreover, people knew Hua Xiaomo was wealthy and a single mother. The thought of the nasty things they would say behind her back was even harder to bear.

When Qi Longbing saw the two women with their children making such remarks, he also felt a surge of displeasure.
