The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 434 - 431 Always Been Ridiculed by Classmates

He looked at the two children. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, Hua Xiaomo reached forward and took Candy from Qi Longbing’s arms.

"Let’s get in the car first. Stop talking so much," Hua Xiaomo said, carrying Candy toward the car.

She no longer paid attention to the two children or their parents. At that moment, a pang of sadness struck her. So, her daughter had always been mocked by classmates for not having a father.

"Xiao Mo, wait a second," Qi Longbing quickly walked up, opened the car door before her, and then let her place Candy inside.

After everyone got into the car, they all remained silent. Candy didn’t speak either; she sulked, her little lips pouting, and remained quiet for a long while.

Qi Longbing looked at Candy, then at Hua Xiaomo. His heart ached. He desperately wanted to tell those two children that he was Tang Guo’s father, but for certain reasons, he just couldn’t say it.

After all, he needed to deal with some matters concerning himself. Only after resolving these matters would he be qualified to be with Hua Xiaomo. Of course, he would quickly free himself from this situation, become qualified to pursue Hua Xiaomo, and be able to give them a complete family.

"Xiao Mo, don’t be upset. What they said were just unpleasant words; why take them to heart!" Qi Longbing said, then turned to comfort Little Candy. "Little Candy, you actually do have a father, you know?"

Little Candy looked at Qi Longbing, her eyes wide and round like grapes. She tilted her head and said, "Do I have a father? But I don’t know where my father is. I asked Mommy if Brother Zi Yunsha is my dad, but Mommy doesn’t answer. Mommy says no, but I really wish Brother Zi Yunsha could be my dad!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Hearing this, Qi Longbing felt a strange sensation in his heart and gently stroked the child’s head. He suddenly suggested, "How about Uncle becomes your dad, okay?"

Hua Xiaomo was startled. She immediately turned her head from the driver’s seat to look at Qi Longbing, quickly giving him several meaningful glances. But Qi Longbing just smiled, still supporting Candy’s small head.

"What are you really thinking, Candy? Can you tell Uncle, please? Don’t be afraid; just say what you truly think. Who do you think would be a better dad—Uncle or Brother Zi Yunsha? Who do you like more? Do you think Uncle treats you better than Brother Zi Yunsha? Tell me the truth."

Candy looked at Qi Longbing, her little head tilted to one side, her small face slightly conflicted. Perhaps she was pondering Qi Longbing’s words: who would be a better choice for her father? One was Brother Zi Yunsha, the other was Handsome Uncle. Ah, they both seemed so nice! It was really hard for her to choose one to be her dad.

All of a sudden, as if a light bulb went off, Candy smiled and moved closer to Qi Longbing, resting her head against him. "Uncle, I like both you and Brother Zi Yunsha very much, and you both treat me so well! How about you both be my daddies together!"

The last sentence took Hua Xiaomo by surprise. Even Qi Longbing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The child’s words were so innocent and naive. Imagine if both of them could actually be her dad! That would be quite something!

Little Candy, of course, had no idea about the complexities of the situation and innocently looked at Hua Xiaomo as she spoke. "Mommy, Mommy, why don’t you let Zi Yunsui and Handsome Uncle both be my daddies? I like them both so much. I think they’re both really handsome, and they’re nice to Candy. Most importantly, they’re good to Mommy too. Mommy, if I had two daddies, my classmates would be incredibly jealous!"

Hua Xiaomo’s frown deepened, and she immediately scolded her. "What does a child know? Don’t say such things! Don’t let me hear that again, do you understand? Or Mommy will spank your bottom." Hua Xiaomo’s expression turned stern.

She hadn’t expected her daughter, Candy, to say such things. It was truly a surprise. Could it be the influence of a single-parent family that led her to such bizarre thoughts? But this idea was just too outlandish. How could she possibly have two fathers? At most, she could only have one.

"WAAAH... Bad Mommy! Mommy’s so mean, so mean! Mommy is a big Witch..." Candy suddenly burst into tears and started making a scene.

"Say that again! Just see if I don’t spank you!" Hua Xiaomo said angrily, looking as if she was truly about to slap Candy!

Qi Longbing, stuck in the middle, found it hard to intervene. He glanced towards Hua Xiaomo, his eyes darkening.

"If you can’t discipline your child properly, you resort to hitting her? Hua Xiaomo, how can you do this? Candy is so young; you should talk to her nicely. It’s wrong for you to be physical," Qi Longbing said directly. He looked at Hua Xiaomo, simply unable to tolerate her hitting the child, especially in front of him.

He knew problems would arise with her raising a child alone, and just as he’d expected, they had. Candy was constantly ridiculed by her classmates and was now saying such things in front of him. This was clearly an issue with Hua Xiaomo’s parenting; it had left the child utterly confused. A child might be clueless, but an adult shouldn’t be. An adult should provide proper guidance!

That’s why sending her to a boarding school was completely unreliable. He couldn’t let her continue boarding at the school. He absolutely had to bring the child back to his side quickly; he would definitely take good care of her.

"She’s my child, and I know how to raise her. I don’t need you to intervene," Hua Xiaomo said angrily. She had never imagined Candy would say such things to her. Wanting two dads... it was just too ridiculous!

"She’s your child but also mine, Hua Xiaomo. I can’t let you continue like this. I have the right to protect my child, to protect Candy," Qi Longbing also grew anxious and blurted out the truth.

Hua Xiaomo looked at Qi Longbing, her own expression darkening. She then looked at Candy. Candy, however, with her large, tear-filled eyes fixed on Qi Longbing, then shifted to look earnestly at her mother.

"Mommy, Mommy, what does Uncle mean? Am I your child and also Uncle’s child? That’s so weird. I don’t understand what you both are talking about," Candy said with a smile. For the moment, she had stopped crying and had become cheerful again. Snuggling up to Qi Longbing, she rubbed herself softly against his chest.

"Uncle, Uncle, you’re really the best! You told Mommy off for me. If Mommy always wants to discipline me, I’ll tell you, and you can tell Mommy off for me too, okay?" Candy said, looking up at Qi Longbing.
