The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 435 - 432 It’s Really Comfortable Now
Her little face loved to nuzzle against his chest, and her small hands enjoyed exploring his waist. It felt so wonderfully comfortable.
Qi Longbing listened to the child’s innocent words and chuckled. Then, holding her small face, he continued, "Alright then, if Mommy bullies you again, just tell me. Let Uncle talk to Mommy from now on. With Uncle here, Candy won’t feel unhappy!"
"Tonight, Uncle will come to Candy’s house for dinner. Tomorrow, Uncle will take Candy to the zoo, and the day after tomorrow, Uncle will take Candy to watch a movie, okay?" Qi Longbing said to Candy with a smile.
His eyes shone brightly as he gazed at the child, and it was as if he were thinking of his own childhood. He had been very busy as a child; did he even have time to play? Now, he felt that a child’s youth should be joyful and happy, free from excessive pressure.
"Yes, yes, Uncle! You are the best uncle in the world," Candy said with a sweet smile, her little hands clinging to Qi Longbing’s neck, her body perched on his lap, refusing to get down.
Qi Longbing held her and kissed her little cheek again. He must have accumulated immense good fortune in a past life to be blessed with such an adorable and lively little daughter. He found himself growing fonder and fonder of Candy. He truly wished she could stay by his side, never wanting to be apart from her even for a moment. She was like his own personal pistachio, always making him so happy. He realized that no matter how angry he became or how much he argued with Hua Xiaomo, the mere sight of Candy would make him happy. Candy was the mediator between them. He was genuinely happy and felt he truly had to thank Hua Xiaomo for giving him such a lively, intelligent, adorable, and beautiful daughter. He vowed to treat both mother and daughter exceptionally well.
Seeing Candy getting along so well with Qi Longbing, Hua Xiaomo felt a flicker of comfort in her heart and suddenly said, "Then tomorrow, Mommy and Uncle will both accompany Candy to the zoo, okay?" Hua Xiaomo said, looking at Candy with sparkling eyes.
Indeed, her busy work schedule had caused her to neglect her child. For this, she felt a pang of guilt towards Candy. But she genuinely loved children and didn’t want her daughter to suffer any grievances, especially at school where others pointed out she had no father. This had always been a source of guilt for her. But now, things were looking up. Candy’s biological father, Qi Longbing, was right there. If possible, their family could reunite. Then, Candy wouldn’t be laughed at in school anymore. She could proudly tell her classmates she had a father—and a very impressive CEO at that!
"That’s great, that’s great! Uncle, Uncle! Mommy said she will go to the zoo with us! I’m so happy. Mommy really rarely takes me to amusement parks, or to the zoo, or to the ocean world! I didn’t expect Mommy to agree to come have fun with me this time. I’m so, so happy!"
"By the way, Uncle, why is my mom willing to accompany me? It must be because Uncle is willing to accompany me, so my mom is willing to accompany me, right?" Candy looked at Qi Longbing with mischievous eyes, then glanced at Hua Xiaomo. Suddenly, she sensed a subtle, unspoken understanding between them, an indescribable and mysterious feeling.
Hua Xiaomo’s face flushed slightly. How could this child be such a little adult, understanding even grown-up matters! She even asked about them! Oh, it was truly exasperating. She had no idea how to explain it to her. But sooner or later, Candy would have to know they were her biological parents. It was perfectly normal for them to be together.
Qi Longbing chuckled, unable to resist flicking Candy’s small cheek. Grinning, he said, "My Candy is so clever, figuring all this out so quickly! Your mom is here to accompany me, so bringing Candy along is just like having a little tag-along!"
"Ah, a little tag-along? How am I a little tag-along? Shouldn’t I be a ’little light bulb’ instead?" Candy looked at Qi Longbing innocently and said, but she couldn’t quite grasp what he meant by ’tag-along.’ However, she *did* understand the term ’light bulb’ because her classmates had said that if a boy and a girl were together and another girl joined them, that girl would be the ’light bulb.’
So, understanding this, she resolved not to be a ’little light bulb.’ She would try to keep her distance from them, lest her ’little light bulb’ presence make them both too embarrassed to speak.
Hua Xiaomo watched Candy, who then looked at Qi Longbing. Hua Xiaomo was at a loss for words. The more the child spoke, the more astonished she became. Candy understood some adult phrases at such a young age! You haven’t even started elementary school; how can you be so mature? Is she precocious? A sudden worry began to gnaw at her.
This, however, amused Qi Longbing, who laughed for a good while. Holding Candy, he kissed her cheek again. "My little princess, you truly are a ’little light bulb,’ but I like you just the way you are. How about I put you, my ’little light bulb,’ in my pocket every day from now on?"
Hearing this, Candy immediately tilted her head, looked skeptically at Qi Longbing, and then said, "Uncle, Uncle, how can I possibly fit in your pocket when I’m this big? Are you going to use magic to shrink me? Are you planning to use your magic to turn me into Thumbelina, or a little spirit, so you can put me in your pocket?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, my Little Candy is so clever! You knew Uncle has magic, haha! Uncle’s magic is very powerful! If Little Candy ever needs to use magic, Uncle will teach you some very potent spells. Then you won’t have to be afraid of anyone," Qi Longbing said with a laugh. Looking at Candy’s adorable expression, he was utterly delighted, a broad smile lighting up his handsome face.
Candy’s eyes widened as she looked at Qi Longbing. Can he really do magic? This uncle is so amazing, even more impressive than Brother Zi Yunsha!
"Haha! Does that mean I won’t have to be afraid of Mom anymore? If Mom scolds me again, I’ll... I’ll use my magic to turn her into a stone!" Candy said, laughing, then pulled a mischievous face at Hua Xiaomo.
This made Hua Xiaomo feign anger, raising her hand as if to strike her. "Candy, turn me into a stone? You’ve got some nerve, little one! If you turn your mom into a stone, who’s going to take care of you, hmm?"
