The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 482 - 479: Hua Xiaomo Has Always Liked Qi Longbing
He truly didn’t know how much determination Qi Longbing would have to muster this time to be with Hua Xiaomo. If this was all going to be for naught, like drawing water with a bamboo basket, then it was better not to get too serious about this relationship.
That being said, he still very much hoped for a positive outcome for them. After all, in this world, besides Qi Longbing, only Qi Longbing treated Hua Xiaomo the best; it was truly hard to find anyone else.
As for Zi Yunsui, whom he had mentioned before, Wen Yajun felt he was too clingy. Hua Xiaomo and Zi Yunsui also had an age gap. Although it wasn’t large—Hua Xiaomo was twenty-five and Zi Yunsui was only twenty-three, a difference of two years—overall, they still didn’t seem very compatible.
He always felt that Qi Longbing treated Hua Xiaomo better. And didn’t Hua Xiaomo like Qi Longbing too?
Hua Xiaomo had always liked Qi Longbing; she just never outwardly admitted it.
"Yes, I plan to give my daughter a complete family. This is also a promise I made to her, and I will not break my word. At the same time, I hope Qi Longbing can resolve his own problems," Hua Xiaomo said from her end of the line. At that moment, her mind was already made up.
On the other end, Wen Yajun’s heart sank when he heard her reply. He hadn’t expected Hua Xiaomo to be truly determined to be with Qi Longbing this time. But why had Hua Xiaomo only figured this out now? Why couldn’t she have considered it more carefully before? Was Hua Xiaomo such a headstrong woman that she would only realize someone’s importance after losing them?
"Brother, you really don’t need to worry about me. I’m fine now," Hua Xiaomo said, forcing a smile.
"How could I not worry about you? After hearing what the President said, I really wanted to call you sooner. But I was afraid you’d be too surprised, so I put it off until today," Wen Yajun said. Deep concern showed in his eyes. A woman giving birth and then raising a child alone in a faraway place... his sister must be having a very hard time. And she was such a hardworking person. She had to take care of her child and manage such a large company. She was the chairman and had to look after so many things; it was really tough on her. If it were possible, he would have wanted to go and help her. But looking at it now, the Qi Imperial Court was also very busy, and he couldn’t get away. So, he hoped Qi Longbing could help his sister.
"Thank you, Brother. I’m really okay. Please also tell Mom not to worry about me, alright? The child and I are doing very well. Everything here has settled into a normal routine now. And Candy is living a very happy life! Under my care and Qi Longbing’s love, he will grow up healthy and strong," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile, a soft light shimmering in her eyes.
At this moment, she so desperately wanted to give her child a complete home. Only with a complete family would the child feel the love of both a father and a mother, feel less lonely, and not so distressed.
"Alright, I’ll tell Mom. Please take good care of yourself while you’re away. By the way, the President will probably resolve his issues with Miss Pan soon. However, it seems Miss Pan went on a business trip to London recently and hasn’t returned yet. The President will continue to wait for her here, so you’ll need to be patient," Wen Yajun said, a soft light in his eyes. He truly doted on Hua Xiaomo.
A business trip to London? "Heh, how could *she* possibly go to London on a business trip?" Hua Xiaomo chuckled. Little did Qi Longbing know Pan Yutong’s actual whereabouts and itinerary. In reality, Pan Yutong had already come to City B to find Hua Xiaomo for a showdown.
On the other end, Wen Yajun felt something was strange. He couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Mo, what are you trying to say? Don’t tell me Pan Yutong isn’t in London?"
After a moment of thought, Hua Xiaomo decided to tell him. "Brother Wen Yajun, yes, she was never in London. She has already come to City B to find me, specifically regarding matters involving me, the child, and Qi Longbing."
"Huh? That woman has gone to City B? Then she must be causing you trouble, right? Can you handle things over there? Do you need me to come over?" Wen Yajun said quickly, these thoughts racing through his mind. Sometimes, he just couldn’t stand it when others bullied his sister. She had truly suffered so much.
"Brother, I’m fine. I have many friends here too, so you really don’t need to worry about me. Besides, if I can manage such a large company, I’m definitely not incapable. Rest assured, Brother, I know how to handle this matter," Hua Xiaomo said with a faint smile.
She recalled when Pan Yutong came to find her before—Pan Yutong’s attitude and her own. Yes, no matter how great the difficulties, the other party couldn’t intimidate her. Of course, it wasn’t that she had intentionally interfered in their family. More importantly, Qi Longbing hadn’t forgotten his feelings for her. They had always loved each other deeply; it was only due to misunderstandings that rifts had formed, leading Qi Longbing to impulsively marry Pan Yutong, a woman he didn’t love.
"That’s good then. I really didn’t expect Pan Yutong to actually go to City B to find you! We all thought she was on a business trip to London. It seems we were all fooled by her secretary," Wen Yajun said, a touch of indignation in his voice. So, Pan Yutong was deceiving Qi Longbing on one hand while going to settle scores with Hua Xiaomo on the other! The audacity of it all.
"Brother, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I know how to handle it. Even if she comes, she can’t hurt me," Hua Xiaomo said. Then, another matter came to her mind, and she couldn’t help asking, "By the way, Brother, how are things between you and Dong Xiaoyou? I haven’t heard you mention anything about getting married. What’s really going on? Nothing has gone wrong, has it?!"
"Silly girl, what could go wrong with your brother? Dong Xiaoyou and I have always been fine. It’s just that we’re not in a hurry to get married right now," Wen Yajun said, his voice softening. But he felt there were some things he didn’t want her to know, as it would only add to her worries. He didn’t want his own affairs to cause Hua Xiaomo too much concern.
Hua Xiaomo listened without saying anything, but she found it a bit strange. Wen Yajun and Dong Xiaoyou were doing so well together, and their relationship seemed quite mature. Why weren’t they getting married?
"Brother, tell me honestly, what’s really going on between you and Dong Xiaoyou?" Hua Xiaomo asked quickly, a dark glint in her amber eyes.
