The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 497 - 494: I Don’t Know What It Feels Like
On an important day, I *must* get Candy to call me Daddy. Only then will our family of three truly feel complete. Yes, it’s so awkward that my own biological daughter can’t call me Daddy and has to call me Uncle! I can’t even describe this feeling inside me. Every time Candy calls me Uncle, Handsome Uncle, I find it bittersweet. In reality, she’s my daughter, and I’m her father, yet she can only call me Uncle, not Daddy. Moreover, she doesn’t even know I’m her father. I really don’t know what expression she’d have if she ever found out about the hardships between me and Hua Xiaomo. But one thing is certain: I will never let my daughter suffer the slightest injustice. My daughter is not illegitimate; she’s the proud young mistress of the Qi Family. I will definitely acknowledge Candy as my own and bring her into our home. I’ll treat her well, and of course, Hua Xiaomo too. She’s the woman I love most. I’ll treat her wonderfully, giving her the best life and all the love in the world. Yes, that’s right. My heart is now completely filled by her; no other woman could possibly occupy it.
Hua Xiaomo paused on the other end, her amber eyes flickering with a dark glint. After a long moment, she finally said, "Qi Longbing, how are things going over there? When will you be back?"
Sometimes, I don’t want to be too direct, Hua Xiaomo thought. I also don’t want to just blurt out that Pan Yutong has come to City B to cause trouble for me. Honestly, why does *he* need things spelled out so directly? Some problems remain unresolved simply because *he* hasn’t considered them carefully enough. In fact, if *he* had been a little more observant, he could have noticed Pan Yutong’s movements. Then it wouldn’t have come to Pan Yutong chasing *me* all the way to City B, causing trouble here and embarrassing our daughter at kindergarten.
Qi Longbing thought for a moment before replying, "Xiao Mo, I also want to return to your side quickly, but Pan Yutong has gone on a business trip to London. She probably won’t be back for a few days. I’m waiting for her. Once she’s back, I’ll talk to her about the divorce. Please don’t worry for now, okay? Once she returns, I’ll discuss this with her. I believe we’ll have a resolution soon. No matter what, I won’t continue with this woman. Believe me, alright? In my heart and in my eyes, there’s only you and our child. By the way, how is our child?"
As Qi Longbing thought of Candy, his heart swelled with joy. Every time I think of that adorable little girl, I can’t stop replaying her every move and expression in my mind. She’s indescribably cute whenever she’s playing happily at the amusement park. And Candy’s eyes are so much like mine—large, bright, and full of spirit. Her eyes are like two little grapes, so bright and luminous. Plus, Candy’s little head is always filled with all sorts of peculiar ideas. Whenever she talks to me, she giggles and chatters away, eagerly telling me so many things—things I’d never even heard of! Sometimes I’m amazed at how her little head can hold so much.
He was utterly enchanted by his little daughter.
Yes, he truly adored Candy.
I really, really want Candy to stay by my side so I can see her every day. If that happened, I’d feel like all the happiness in the world was mine. I love my daughter so much. I truly have to thank Hua Xiaomo for giving me such a beautiful daughter. I genuinely believe my daughter is the most precious treasure in the world. I want to give her the best of everything, so she can grow up happy and joyful.
Hua Xiaomo thought for a moment and then replied, "Qi Longbing, Pan Yutong didn’t go to London at all. She came to City B. Moreover, she came to talk to me about the issues between you two. She also went to the child’s kindergarten and caused a huge scene. Candy was deeply wronged today. What do you think should be done about this?"
Yes, why didn’t he tell me? Hua Xiaomo fumed internally. This whole situation started because of him. What if he can’t resolve the issues between himself and Pan Yutong? In that case, he should take Pan Yutong and leave me and Candy forever. I don’t want Candy to suffer like this again. Truly, once was more than enough; I really never want to see Pan Yutong again.
Qi Longbing was stunned. His handsome face instantly paled. I never imagined Pan Yutong didn’t go to London but went directly to City B instead! Good heavens, why is my information so unreliable? Pan Yutong wasn’t going to sign any contract at all; she went to City B to settle scores with Hua Xiaomo? How despicable! This woman is utterly vile! She even upset my daughter? She’s rotten to the core! No, I absolutely cannot let her harass Hua Xiaomo and my daughter in City B any longer. I’ll be furious if this continues.
"Xiao Mo, are you telling the truth?" Qi Longbing asked, a trace of doubt flickering in his eyes. "Pan Yutong really went to City B and caused trouble for you and Candy? How could such a thing happen?"
At that moment, his expression turned grave. This matter must be handled seriously. I can’t let Pan Yutong continue to act so recklessly. Who does she think she is? She’s just a woman who can’t win anyone’s heart, and her behavior is atrocious. Looking at it this way, I have absolutely no reason to continue this marriage. This divorce is definite!
"She really came," Hua Xiaomo said directly, her expression very serious. "I think you either take her away, or you stay here and protect my daughter. What do you intend to do?"
At this point, I can’t compromise any further, Hua Xiaomo resolved. Sometimes, giving in is simply an admission of one’s own weakness. But I am certainly not weak. Whatever I, Hua Xiaomo, want, I must strive to obtain. Only such effort can secure a happy future. If I give up on myself, how can I expect anyone else to cherish me? If you don’t cherish yourself, if you don’t love yourself, how can others love you? Only those who know how to love themselves can receive love from others. Frankly, even if I don’t receive love from others, it doesn’t matter. Loving myself is enough to make me strong.
