The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 469 - 466: Is There No Choice but to Part Ways?
Otherwise, how could he have suddenly come to City B to find me!
"Of course, I miss you too, Xiao Mo. I really hope to return to your side sooner," Qi Longbing said. "But I still have some things to take care of here, and it will take a bit more time. Don’t worry; I’ll come back as soon as I can. By the way, how’s our daughter doing? Is she well-behaved at school? Have you been taking good care of her?" He suddenly asked about Candy, then thought of another concern. "By the way, when I left, I told you to install burglar bars on the balcony and windows of that villa. Did you get them installed?" Qi Longbing asked with concern. He recalled the time Candy had climbed the window, which had given him quite a scare.
"Rest assured, I’ve already installed the burglar bars. Candy won’t be climbing around the windows and balcony anymore; there’s nothing to worry about," Hua Xiaomo replied, her amber eyes gleaming faintly. "You just focus on sorting out your affairs. If there’s anything, call me. I’ll be thinking of you."
She quickly ended the call. Holding the phone, she zoned out a little, feeling overwhelmed by what Pan Yutong had said to her and his nasty attitude. But what can be done now? Apart from waiting, there’s only more waiting. With Pan Yutong’s attitude, how could he possibly divorce Qi Longbing? If Qi Longbing can’t dissolve this marriage, then Candy and I will be helpless. I’ll be doomed to bear the stigma of being the third party, and Candy that of an illegitimate child. That would be so unfair to Candy! Can the three of us really not be together as a family? Must we inevitably stay apart?
Hua Xiaomo’s head began to hurt from thinking. I really want to resolve this straightforwardly, but it doesn’t seem so easy now. Thinking about Pan Yutong’s attitude, it will likely be very difficult to persuade him to divorce Qi Longbing. But no matter what, I must try my best to achieve the goal we all desire. Regardless of what Pan Yutong thinks, I will not give up on Qi Longbing. Time will teach Pan Yutong. If someone doesn’t love you, keeping them by force is futile. Forcing someone to stay only adds to one’s pain. Rather than suffer, why not let go? Only by letting go can both parties find happiness.
Well, some women can’t stand to see others happy if they themselves are not. And such people are the most selfish. When Hua Xiaomo considered these issues, her eyes narrowed slightly. She thought of Candy, who still didn’t know that Qi Longbing was her father. Since Qi Longbing hadn’t resolved his personal issues, she hadn’t told Candy that he was her father. She felt that only when Qi Longbing had settled his own problems would the conditions be right for him to acknowledge Candy.
While contemplating these issues, Hua Xiaomo’s eyes darkened slightly. She put down her phone, picked up a pen beside her, and started to write names on a piece of paper. She wrote down a few, including "Qi Longbing." Then she wrote "Candy" and her own name. We are a family of three, yet forming such a family seems so difficult now. At that moment, Hua Xiaomo deeply regretted her past stubbornness. If only I had been more understanding back then, I could have given Candy a complete family. Isn’t that the truth? During my last visit to City A, if only Qi Longbing hadn’t been so domineering, and if I had been more tolerant, we might not have had that misunderstanding. There wouldn’t be this uncomfortable feeling between us, and I could have accepted him then, instead of ending up in this difficult position. I want to accept him, but now he isn’t in a position to be with me. Society’s morals will condemn us. From an outsider’s perspective, I am indeed the third party, and one who comes with a child. This is an issue both Qi Longbing and I are desperate to resolve. After all, Candy is our flesh and blood. To give her a complete family, we have to strive to be together. This striving is something we genuinely wish for, from the bottom of our hearts.
Love is such a strange thing. It seems insignificant when you have it, but its value is only realized upon loss. Maybe that’s why people say the things we can’t have are always the most desirable. Perhaps that’s why Qi Longbing is so persistent with me. Having overcome so many hurdles, Hua Xiaomo had learned many lessons. She came to believe that the best man for her in this world was Qi Longbing. If I don’t seize this opportunity with him, I might live the rest of my life in confusion. It wouldn’t matter much to me, but what about Candy? Can Candy endure a life without a father? More than ten years... it’s not too long, but not too short either. Time flies, and before you know it, there’s nothing left. I could live a lonely and solitary life, even consider it a carefree lifestyle. But it’s unfair to make my daughter face this current situation without reason.
What Qi Lingfeng said to me back then was right; one shouldn’t be too selfish. I have no right to deprive Qi Longbing of his responsibility as a father. Since Candy is his daughter, Qi Longbing has the right to care for her, to look after all aspects of her future life, her emotions, and everything else. After all, Candy is his daughter. And I can’t stop Qi Longbing from loving Candy. It’s simply a matter of kinship, inexplicable. Blood is thicker than water. Besides, Candy will have to return to the Qi Family eventually. As Hua Xiaomo thought about these issues, she secretly resolved: No matter what Pan Yutong thinks, I will not give up on being with Qi Longbing. I will do my utmost to fulfill our most cherished wish.
Just as Hua Xiaomo was about to make another call, her secretary, Xiao Qing, came in, beaming with joy. She quickly said, "Chairman, the General Manager is back!"
