The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 442 - 439: Subdued Him

Xiao Qing looked at the other person, her face showing a somewhat embarrassed smile. She said nothing at that moment. After a while, when Loh Hua came out, he greeted them with a smile and then led Xiao Qing out of the restaurant.

Qi Longbing looked at Hua Xiaomo and said, "Xiao Mo, did you see that? Now when Loh Hua sees you, he even looks away sheepishly. It just goes to show that Xiao Qing must have tamed him."

"Heh! Loh Hua can really pester people to death. Thankfully, he’s taken a liking to Xiao Qing and shifted his target, which saves me the trouble. Actually, I think he and Xiao Qing are quite a good match," Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, then entered the restaurant with Qi Longbing and Candy.

The group had lunch in the restaurant, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Qi Longbing looked at Hua Xiaomo. This is what a home feels like, he thought.

Hua Xiaomo also looked at Qi Longbing, her mood much more relaxed. That previous feeling is gone, she mused. How to put it? The sense that Qi Longbing and I didn’t quite mesh is no longer there.

What replaced it was a tacit understanding, a comfortable feeling. Maybe bringing Candy back to my side is the best way for our family to be complete, Qi Longbing considered.

"What would you like to eat, Candy? Go ahead and order. Uncle will pick up the tab this time; your mom doesn’t have to pay," Qi Longbing said with a smile, then patted Candy’s head.

Seeing his daughter by his side comforted him greatly.

Yes, I must return as soon as possible to settle my affairs. Then I can come over and bring mother and daughter to be by my side, he resolved.

Candy looked at Qi Longbing, then picked up the menu. "Oh, that’s great, Uncle! That’s wonderful! I want to eat this, this, and this—also, this one. I really like them all. Wow, so many dishes! Okay, I remember now! I’ll order just three to four items. For three of us, a few dishes plus a soup should be enough. It’s economical and environmentally friendly, and doesn’t waste food," Candy said with a smile, her eyes wide as she looked at Hua Xiaomo.

"Heh, my Little Candy has become so much smarter now. That’s the way to do it—order only as much as we can eat. That way we won’t waste food, and also, that’s what it means to live well, understand?" Qi Longbing said with a laugh.

Candy nodded vigorously, then looked at Hua Xiaomo and gave a mischievous smile.

Hua Xiaomo watched her interact with Qi Longbing, her eyes narrowing slightly with warmth.

This moment is truly beautiful! Hua Xiaomo thought. I sincerely hope our happiness can continue without further complexities. With Candy by my side, and Qi Longbing by my side, the three of us can live happily together. Everything else is secondary.

Hua Xiaomo felt quite comforted. After finishing their meal, they returned to the villa. Qi Longbing stayed in Hua Xiaomo’s villa for a long time that night, playing with Candy until she fell asleep. Only then did Qi Longbing lift Candy from the sofa, carry her upstairs, and put her in her room, gently closing the door. At that moment, Hua Xiaomo also came to his side.

"Thank you for spending the whole day with me and Candy, thank you. You must be tired too, right? Maybe you should go back early to rest," Hua Xiaomo said to Qi Longbing.

Qi Longbing turned his head to look at Hua Xiaomo and said with a smile, "Xiao Mo, what’s wrong? Are you trying to send me away now? But, haven’t you considered that I might want to stay? Why can’t I stay?"

Hua Xiaomo’s face flushed at his words. She then gently removed his hand. "Oh, stop it. It’s not good with the child here."

"What’s there to worry about? The child is already asleep. Let’s go to your room." Qi Longbing then pulled Hua Xiaomo into her room and quickly closed the door.

Hua Xiaomo lifted her head, resisting slightly, her cheeks flushed and her heart pounding, beating so fast it felt as if it might jump out at any second.

Qi Longbing caressed her face with one hand and said gently, "Xiao Mo, what’s wrong? Are you too nervous? Have you missed me?"

Hua Xiaomo looked at him, her cheeks rosy. At this moment, she didn’t know what to say, just feeling extremely nervous. Then she took his hand and whispered, "Qi Longbing, can we not do this today? I think it would be better if you went back to the hotel. I’m really worried... what if Candy wakes up and sees us? What would we do then?"

"Why would she wake up? Don’t worry, the child is sleeping soundly. She played so hard earlier, she’s really fast asleep! She won’t wake up; she won’t suddenly disturb us, rest assured," said Qi Longbing.

He felt as if he couldn’t wait. Yes, he really wanted her today. They hadn’t been together for several days, and this feeling... it was like being dehydrated.

"But what if she does wake up? Ah, I still think this isn’t right, Qi Longbing. Please, let’s not, I beg you. Go stay at the hotel tonight," Hua Xiaomo still refused.

Her heart was racing, Hua Xiaomo thought, flustered. I don’t know how to handle this. If I let him stay tonight, the consequences will definitely be serious.

Qi Longbing looked at Hua Xiaomo and smiled, stroking her cheek. "Well then, don’t you miss me, Hua Xiaomo? You’re really going to send me away? Aren’t you heartless? Forget it; actually, I was just joking with you. I’m indeed very tired too. I saw you’re tired as well today; we both worked hard taking care of Candy. In that case, I’ll respect your wishes. I’ll go back to the hotel, and you take good care of her." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Somehow, Qi Longbing’s mind changed. To love someone, I should be accommodating, respecting her thoughts and opinions, he mused. Besides, seeing Hua Xiaomo so nervous and uneasy, she probably really fears Candy waking up and walking in on us, leading to an awkward situation she can’t explain. Since that’s the case, I shouldn’t make her feel that kind of embarrassment. More often, I should try to see things from her perspective. After all, I’m not even single yet. Moreover, I’m still locked in this marriage; I need to get back quickly and sort out my own affairs. I must divorce Pan Yutong. I can’t stay in this marriage any longer because I don’t love Pan Yutong at all. My heart belongs entirely to Hua Xiaomo and Candy. They are the most important people in the world to me.
