The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 514 - 511: The Relationship Between Him and Qi Longbing

Hua Xiaomo watched as Candy fell asleep, and only then did she return to her own room. At that moment, she felt that some things in this world were difficult to grasp, such as the feelings between her and Qi Longbing.

The two of them were very much in love, but the current predicament seemed insurmountable. She wouldn’t give up on Qi Longbing; she was determined to be with him and to provide Candy with a wonderful life and future.

Moreover, Qi Longbing had said he would come over tomorrow, so she would have a good talk with him about the direction of their future lives.

If things continued like this, it wouldn’t be good for anyone, especially for Candy. The harm it would cause her would be significant. The best solution would be to get Pan Yutong back to City A.

But if Pan Yutong didn’t plan on returning to City A, then she would need to come up with new ideas and actions. She absolutely couldn’t let Pan Yutong cause trouble at school, as it would be a terrible influence on Candy.

Especially when a child is growing, how could they be subjected to such negative influences?

If that happened, the adults would feel it was their fault for influencing the child and causing them so much suffering. Well, no matter what, Hua Xiaomo wouldn’t let her daughter suffer any injustice.

She would protect her daughter at all costs, ensuring she would never endure any hardship. If Pan Yutong dared to bother her daughter again, she would definitely put her in her place.

If the last beating hadn’t made Pan Yutong realize her mistake and stay away from her daughter, then she would have to strike her again, repeatedly, until she drove her back to City A and made her understand what "intolerable" meant.

Hua Xiaomo had a restless and uneasy night’s sleep, not drifting off until midnight. When she got up the next morning and went to Candy’s room, she didn’t find her there. In that instant, her entire being tensed, and she couldn’t help but shout,

"Candy, Candy, where are you? Where are you?" Hua Xiaomo searched frantically throughout the house for Candy.

To her surprise, Candy had actually run up to the villa’s rooftop and was stretching to see the distant scenery.

Hua Xiaomo immediately rushed forward and took Candy into her arms, her amber eyes flashing as she scolded, "Why are you so disobedient, wandering up to the rooftop alone? What if you had fallen? Even if a fall didn’t kill you, you could end up disabled. What then? Being disabled would cause you pain, wouldn’t it? And if you’re in pain, you’d make Mommy suffer too. You’d make both Mommy and Daddy suffer, do you understand?"

"Don’t climb so high again, understand? My sweetie, my darling little treasure, climbing so high is very dangerous, you know? By the way, why did you climb so high? What were you doing up there?" After lecturing Candy for a while, Hua Xiaomo finally realized she hadn’t yet asked the most important question.

Well, whether it was the most important question or not, she simply couldn’t allow Candy to climb to such a dangerous place again—it was far too risky.

Especially since it was morning. If something were to happen, nobody would know. She would regret it for the rest of her life.

But Candy seemed not to have heard what Hua Xiaomo was saying. However, she found the part where Hua Xiaomo said, "make both Mommy and Daddy suffer," a bit strange.

Candy looked at Hua Xiaomo and said, "Mommy, Mommy, I have a daddy too, right? You just said ’make both Mommy and Daddy suffer,’ so that means I have a daddy too, right?"

"Mommy, can you tell me where daddy is? I really miss him. All the other kids have a mommy and a daddy, but I only have a mommy. I don’t even know how to explain to the other kids where my daddy is. Sometimes when they ask, I just don’t know what to say, and it makes me so sad. Mommy, where is my daddy? Do I really have a daddy?"

The moment Candy looked at Hua Xiaomo, she felt a peculiar ache in her heart. But being up here, she felt she could see very, very far away, perhaps even see her daddy’s return. Strangely, though, while her eyes hoped for her daddy to come back, her heart thought of Handsome Uncle. When she thought of Handsome Uncle, her heart filled with smiles. She hoped Handsome Uncle could come back to her and Mommy.

Hearing this, Hua Xiaomo looked at Candy, gently stroked her little head, thought for a moment, and said, "Candy, you’re grown up now, so Mommy can tell you this: Mommy really loves you. You have a daddy too, and your daddy loves you very much. When the time is right, he will come back, okay?"

"Where did my daddy go, Mommy? Can you tell me? I really want to call him, or at least say hello," Candy asked with wide eyes, wondering if Hua Xiaomo was just trying to placate her.

But her teacher said that adults shouldn’t lie to children, and that what adults tell children should always be the truth.

Well, although she was a bit skeptical, right then, she wanted to believe Hua Xiaomo’s words were true.

"Your daddy? Your daddy went to a faraway place to fight aliens. That’s why he can’t come back right now. Only when he has driven all the aliens away will he return," Hua Xiaomo deliberately concocted a lie. Okay, it was a white lie. She really didn’t want to lie to her child, but right now, the situation with Qi Longbing didn’t allow her to tell Candy too much.

Only when Qi Longbing had sorted out his own affairs would she be able to tell Candy about his relationship with her.

In fact, Qi Longbing was Candy’s biological father, and Candy was Qi Longbing’s biological daughter. An inseparable blood bond connected them; they were the father and daughter who, in this world, should care for each other the most.

These were the words she truly wanted to tell Candy, but it wasn’t the right time. When the time was right, she would certainly tell her.

"Mommy, my daddy went to fight aliens? Is that true, Mommy? But I want to fight aliens too! I want to help Daddy! Can I, Mommy? I really want to help Daddy. I’m afraid he might be in danger all by himself. If he had an extra helper, then Daddy wouldn’t be in danger, right?" Little Candy said, her voice full of innocent charm.
