The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 475 - 472 Walked Out of His Heart Again
She had already walked out of his heart again, if she had ever truly been there. He had missed that Shi Guang—yes, that damned car accident. If it hadn’t been for the accident, he believed Xiao Mo would never have left him. But what was the use of saying anything now? It was all too late. Hua Xiaomo had already decided to be with Qi Longbing, and he was destined to lose her.
"I’m fine. Actually, I’ve learned a lot about many things at the company, and I’m finding the work quite manageable. Though it’s busy at times, it brings me genuine happiness and a sense of achievement. It’s only now that I truly understand the immense work pressure you used to face."
"That’s why you never seemed to have time for romance—it turned out you were just too busy with work! Maybe I, as the chairman, should take some of that workload off your shoulders so you have the mood and the time to do what you want. What do you say, Zi Yunsui?"
Hua Xiaomo smiled as she looked at the young man before her. He’s only twenty-three, an age of blossoming youth. Besides, if he ended up with Ye Xiangxue, they’d be a great match! Although Ye Xiangxue is five years older than Zi Yunsui, and one could say she’s like an older sister to him, Zi Yunsui possesses all the thoughts and virtues of a mature man. He has the appearance of a young man but the mindset of a forty-year-old, so it’s perfectly appropriate for him to start a family now. He’s a man of great responsibility. Frankly, any woman who marries Zi Yunsui will be truly blessed.
She silently wished the best for the girl who would marry Zi Yunsui, hoping it would be Ye Xiangxue. Of course, it couldn’t be anyone else but her.
Zi Yunsui smiled faintly. He knew very well what she meant. But regarding this matter, he didn’t want to discuss his own affairs so quickly. He wanted to give her some time.
"My previous job was indeed a bit busy, but I like being in that state of busyness. I don’t think you need to reduce my workload at all. On the contrary, I think you should focus more on taking care of Candy. Oh, by the way, how has Candy been lately? You didn’t tell her about my car accident and hospitalization, did you? She’s so young; it’s better not to tell her, to save her from worrying about me."
"Mhm, don’t worry. I didn’t tell Candy about your car accident. She’s been doing very well at her boarding school. Her teachers all like her very much, and Candy is so cute; Qi Longbing always praises her."
As Hua Xiaomo said this, she realized something and quickly stopped. She didn’t say more, fearing it might make him a little uncomfortable.
Yes, no matter what, there was still that layer of intimacy between her and him. They had shared that one night. If it hadn’t been for that night, she wouldn’t have decided to marry him so quickly back then. Perhaps if that car accident hadn’t happened, she would already be this young man’s wife. But things just happen this way; what isn’t yours is destined not to be yours, nor is it something you are meant to obtain.
Hua Xiaomo looked at him and also smiled slowly. She just felt that they should return to that simple state, not overcomplicating things. Since they each had their own lives and their own thoughts, they should just strive in their respective directions. They shouldn’t get too entangled in what happened between them. After all, what’s past is past, and what happened has happened. Trying to erase it would be impossible.
Hua Xiaomo considered this and gradually calmed her mind. She didn’t dwell on it excessively and hoped he wouldn’t overthink things either.
He should just happily accept Ye Xiangxue’s affection; that was the most important thing for him to do now.
For a long time, Hua Xiaomo didn’t speak. The air in the office grew somewhat suffocating, to the point where it seemed they could hear each other’s breathing, though neither knew why.
Hua Xiaomo also felt somewhat awkward and tense. She knew that mentioning Qi Longbing at this moment might make Zi Yunsui feel very hurt. She didn’t want that, but it was impossible not to say anything.
Because she and Qi Longbing truly wanted to be together. Besides, they already had a daughter, and they had discussed everything. So, for Zi Yunsui now, what could she do or say? For Candy’s happiness, she was willing to give up anything. However, this didn’t mean sacrificing everything to marry Qi Longbing. Instead, she first wanted to be independent and become a successful woman. This was the deepest wish in her heart. Perhaps for a long time, she had felt that she and Qi Longbing could no longer be separated. All the previous entanglements were merely further proof of the depth of their feelings for each other. She loved Qi Longbing, and Qi Longbing also loved her deeply. They couldn’t bear to lose each other, and this feeling, this love, was precisely what they both wanted to protect. Therefore, she could sacrifice anything for Qi Longbing, and Qi Longbing could also sacrifice anything for her. They were both also doing it for Candy; as long as Candy was happy, they would do anything.
So why couldn’t such a loving couple achieve happiness? Hua Xiaomo thought, a faint sweetness blooming in her heart. Her heart was now completely conquered by Qi Longbing; it was impossible for her to think of anyone else.
"Xiao Mo, does he really treat you well? Xiao Mo, have you decided to be with Qi Longbing?" Zi Yunsui looked at Hua Xiaomo, his heart aching for her. After all, given Qi Longbing’s current status, he wasn’t qualified to pursue Hua Xiaomo. He was already married, wasn’t he? What did he mean by still pestering Xiao Mo? Did he expect Xiao Mo to give up her lifelong happiness for him? That would be unfair to Xiao Mo. Of course, Qi Longbing’s supposed divorce—that was something for later. Who knew if he could even divorce Pan Yutong? Thinking of that woman from Warner World, he knew she was a very difficult person to deal with; this divorce would absolutely not be achieved so easily. Now Hua Xiaomo was caught in the middle of Qi Longbing and Pan Yutong’s marriage, and she had invisibly become what society would call the ’third party.’ This ’third party’ status undoubtedly subjected her to all sorts of public criticism and pressure.
