The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 439 - 436: This Just Happens to Have His Shadow

From this little face, he could see a reflection of himself in Candy’s features. Don’t people always say that daughters resemble their fathers and sons their mothers? Indeed, in those big eyes of Candy, there was his own reflection.

Her little nose and mouth also bore his likeness. It seemed as though his superb genes, Qi Longbing’s, had melded together to form this cute little person.

Thinking of this, Qi Longbing couldn’t help but want to lean in and kiss her little cheek.

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Candy suddenly grabbed Qi Longbing’s neck and gave him a big kiss on his face.

"Uncle, I really like you. When I grow up, I’m going to marry you!" Candy said, grinning mischievously.

Qi Longbing and Hua Xiaomo were both stunned for a moment. Qi Longbing laughed and patted Candy’s head. "Ha, little one, you’re talking nonsense again. How could Uncle possibly marry you? If Uncle were to get married, it would be to your mom."

"Ah, Uncle is going to marry my mom?" Candy asked, tilting her head curiously at the two of them.

Hua Xiaomo quickly interrupted their conversation, feeling quite annoyed. Why are they talking about marriage at this time? she thought. Really, it’s so irritating. They should be enjoying their meal instead of discussing such topics.

"Hurry up and eat your food, Candy. Don’t say such nonsense anymore, or Mommy will get angry," Hua Xiaomo immediately stopped Candy, then urged her to eat properly.

In the end, Candy didn’t say anything more and obediently ate her meal, finishing all the barbecue.

That evening, Qi Longbing accompanied Candy and Hua Xiaomo back to Hua Xiaomo’s villa. The three of them then sat on the sofa to watch TV.

Hua Xiaomo watched the animated show with a lack of enthusiasm. Truth be told, I’ve never really taken the time to watch cartoons with a child, she mused. But now, I can’t justify not watching with her. After all, she’s a little girl, and I certainly need to cherish her.

Seeing Hua Xiaomo’s reluctant demeanor, Qi Longbing said with a smile, "Xiao Mo, if you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it. I’ll look after the child. I’ll stay with her and watch the cartoon."

"Oh, alright then. I just remembered there’s a task I haven’t finished on my game software, so I’ll go upstairs to complete it and then come back down. You take good care of Candy, please. If she wants something to eat, there’s food in the fridge; just go and get it for her," said Hua Xiaomo before heading upstairs.

Qi Longbing watched Hua Xiaomo’s retreating figure, feeling an incredible warmth at that moment. Only then did he truly feel a sense of home. Yes, it’s in City B that I feel a sense of home, he thought. If I were to go back to my own city, I wouldn’t even want to step into that house!

"Uncle, Uncle, can we watch GG Bond? I really like GG Bond! Oh, and after we finish GG Bond, can we watch Little Fairy, please?" Candy said with a smile, looking at Qi Longbing. At that moment, she felt he was the best, best uncle ever.

Qi Longbing patted Candy’s little head and replied with a smile, "Hehe, sure, why not! How about we take our time and watch these cartoons? After GG Bond, we can watch Little Fairy, and after Little Fairy, we can watch Flower Fairy, and then some other great cartoons."

"Have you ever watched Lotus Lantern? It’s about a child and their mother’s story. It’s really great! And it tells how the child saves their mother. You’ll definitely love it, Candy."

"Oh? It’s about a child saving their mother? Wow, that child must be so great! Their mom must never scold them, right? She wouldn’t be like my mom, would she, Uncle?" Candy asked, tilting her head and smiling at Qi Longbing.

Long Bing gently patted her head and softly kissed her cheek before saying, "Candy, if you were to live with Uncle forever, do you think you would be happy?"

"Really? Is that true? Are you going to live with us from now on, Uncle? Wow, that’s just too great! Will you buy me toys every day? We have so many toys at home! I also want to go out to eat, and there are so many delicious things I want to try. You have to buy them for me wherever you live," Candy said excitedly, looking at Qi Longbing.

At that moment, the world felt blissfully happy, she thought. I hadn’t expected this Handsome Uncle to actually be so kind-hearted and talk about living with us! Wouldn’t that mean all my wishes could come true?

Qi Longbing stroked Candy’s little head and answered with a smile, "Sure, that’s no problem. But Uncle has to go away for a few days. When I come back, I’ll bring Little Candy to live with me, and then we’ll never be apart again, okay?"

"Eh? Uncle, you’re leaving for a few days? Where are you going? Will you come back? Oh, right, you said you’d come back, so you must come back, okay? I’ll be waiting for you here, Uncle," Candy said sweetly. Then, snuggling into Qi Longbing’s arms, her little feet kicked playfully against him, making Qi Longbing laugh too.

The next day, Qi Longbing took Candy to the zoo, with Hua Xiaomo by their side. The three of them walked to the zoo together. Once they arrived, they saw so many animals, including gorillas, elephants, hippos, and others like lions, tigers, and peacocks.

There were also beautiful red-crowned cranes. They all looked pretty and seemed so gentle. Candy watched wide-eyed; she had never seen so many animals before.

Screams and shouts of excitement filled the zoo. Qi Longbing and Hua Xiaomo both laughed. Taking her to the zoo was the best decision, they thought.

When they got to Monkey Mountain, they saw lots of monkeys. Candy pointed at one of the little monkeys and said, "Uncle, Uncle, look at that little monkey; it’s so skinny! It must be malnourished. Didn’t its mom take good care of it? Oh, it looks like it only has a mom and no dad. Does that mean children without fathers are usually skinny? Does that mean they lack love?"

Qi Longbing answered with a laugh, "Heh, did you see that monkey not having a dad, only a mom? Look, its dad is over there!"

Indeed, Candy then saw a big monkey hopping their way.
