The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 443 - 440: They Must All Endure in Silence

And then, he would return here, to give Hua Xiaomo and their child a perfect resolution.

"Okay, I’ll walk you downstairs. Tonight, don’t think too much. Go back and sleep early. I see that caring for the child is quite exhausting for you, but I know that everything you do is to make Candy happy. Candy looked really happy today. Thank you, Qi Longbing. Goodnight," Hua Xiaomo said with a slight smile, and then she walked him downstairs and to the door.

Qi Longbing felt a surge of excitement as he stood at the doorway, looking at her. That look in his eyes was so sweet—tender and soft, filled with happiness.

Qi Longbing’s gaze touched her, and a tiny thrill stirred in Hua Xiaomo’s heart. Her amber eyes glinted with a hidden light. His gaze also made her feel comfortable. Well, it wasn’t time to fully possess each other yet. They both had to endure, to endure this difficult period. She believed that Qi Longbing would resolve his issues and then return to make things right for her and their child—that thought was truly beautiful.

They looked at each other for a long while before Qi Longbing finally let go of Hua Xiaomo. His hand gently caressed her face, smoothing her hair. A smile spread across his stunningly handsome face. "Xiao Mo, I have to go now. Take good care of our child; don’t let her go hungry or get cold. I truly love our child, and I love you." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Stop talking nonsense. How could I possibly let my daughter, Candy, go hungry or get cold? Rest assured, I will take good care of her," Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh. She noted that Qi Longbing’s entire heart seemed devoted to their daughter, which warmed her too. Alright, as long as he’s wholeheartedly devoted to our daughter, that’s good enough for me.

"Hua Xiaomo, alright then, I’m off. Bye." Having said that, Qi Longbing left the villa and returned to his hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, he felt so drained that he collapsed onto the bed, not wanting to get up.

「In his dream,」 he had a beautiful dream. He dreamed that he married Hua Xiaomo, and Candy was their flower girl. Candy held Hua Xiaomo’s wedding dress, while Hua Xiaomo linked her arm through his as they walked into the marriage hall. At that moment, everyone looked at them with surprise and envy. Qi Longbing said to everyone and to Hua Xiaomo, "I love you. In this life, I have finally married you."

Hua Xiaomo said to Qi Longbing, "I love you too. Our family can finally be together. It’s truly blissful."

Little Candy chimed in beside them, "This is wonderful! Daddy and Mommy are getting married! It’s great! I’m so happy! Daddy, Mommy, kiss quickly, kiss quickly!"

Qi Longbing said with a laugh, his handsome face beaming, "Hua Xiaomo, Candy, you are both my girls. I love you both."

Then Qi Longbing leaned in to kiss Hua Xiaomo, but in an instant, his kiss met only air.

"Daddy, Daddy, where did Mommy go? Where did Mommy go? Mommy is gone!" Candy’s voice reached his ears.

It startled Qi Longbing awake.

Qi Longbing looked at the luxurious decoration of the room. Only then did he realize he was still in the hotel and that the dream was just a dream. He pressed a hand to his forehead; it was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

Ah, so it was just a dream, Qi Longbing said slowly to himself. But he really didn’t understand why in the dream, just as he was about to kiss Hua Xiaomo, she vanished. What did this dream signify? Did it mean that Hua Xiaomo might still leave him?

Qi Longbing couldn’t help but take out his phone and find that familiar number. He looked at Hua Xiaomo’s name in his contacts and desperately wanted to call her. But then he remembered she might be asleep, and it wouldn’t be right to disturb her in the middle of the night, so he suppressed the urge.

Qi Longbing lay down on the bed again. At this moment, the twinkling crystal pendants on the ceiling made his eyes ache. Yes, I must resolve the issues I’m facing as soon as possible, and then take good care of them both.

「The next day,」 Qi Longbing went to Hua Xiaomo’s villa again. Today, he accompanied her and Candy to a movie.

Hua Xiaomo was also there. He spent another joyful day with the mother and daughter, but he didn’t tell Hua Xiaomo about the strange dream he’d had the previous night. He just looked at her with a slight smile.

"Qi Longbing, I’ve noticed you’ve been smiling a lot more lately, and your smile is getting more and more attractive!" Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh. Seeing Qi Longbing like this, the radiance on his handsome face was undeniable, and she felt a thrill of excitement.

Who would have thought she still couldn’t escape him? Perhaps this was their fate—a destiny that bound them together, inseparable. And she had borne him a daughter; giving birth to this daughter for him was the best decision she had ever made. Without Candy, life would have been so monotonous. Now, things were wonderful. With Candy’s company, she felt so happy. Moreover, Qi Longbing was still very good to her. Or rather, he had always been good to her; it was just that there had been some misunderstandings in the past, and his personality had been rather dominant. In many ways, he used to act according to his own ideas, sometimes ignoring her feelings and thoughts. But since he had returned to B City after their marriage, and they had met again, she found his character had changed a lot. Or rather, his personality had slowly transformed ever since he saw Candy. He had become more tolerant, accommodating, and even more considerate and gentle. All of this deeply touched her; she was truly moved by him. From the moment she saw how lovingly Qi Longbing treated Candy, and how affectionately Candy responded to him, she had decided to let Candy return to his side. This way, their family could reunite. Perhaps this was the best resolution for them all.

"Really? It seems my charm is indeed boundless," Qi Longbing said, a smile playing on his devastatingly handsome face. He then bought some snacks for Candy and also got some for Hua Xiaomo. They indulged in many treats outside, rested for a while, and then went to watch another movie in the afternoon.

They watched animated movies exclusively. For some reason, Hua Xiaomo found herself becoming quite engrossed in them. She wasn’t sure if it was because she was watching them with Candy and Qi Longbing, or if she herself had genuinely grown to love these animated films.

They felt that watching animated films with a child was a very meaningful activity. Through a child’s eyes, they could experience the joy and fun a child felt while watching them. Simultaneously, it allowed them to relive the joys of their own childhoods.
