The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 525 - 522 I’ll stay at a hotel outside
Qi Longbing approached Hua Xiaomo, swiftly took her hand, and smiled as he spoke, "Hua Xiaomo, would you please just agree? Candy isn’t home anyway, and I know what you mean—you’re worried that I might influence Candy, right? Rest assured, I won’t affect Candy. Moreover, staying in a hotel outside just feels awkward. Besides, a hotel doesn’t have that homey feel; it’s expensive and uncomfortable. Where could be more comfortable than your villa? Hua Xiaomo, can’t you let me rest at the villa just for now? You could come back early, and if you don’t want to pick up the child, I could do it. Or, we could go pick up the child together if you come back early. That should be fine, right?"
Hua Xiaomo thought for a moment, her gaze on Qi Longbing filled with a sliver of awkwardness. At this moment, she didn’t know what to say; she truly wanted to refuse his request. But what Qi Longbing had said seemed to make sense too. After all, the three of them would have to live together eventually. If she were to reject him too much now and push him away, wouldn’t that make him feel Hanxin? That didn’t seem right either. However, she was still engaged to Pan Yutong. She really wished she could dissolve the engagement with Pan Yutong right away. After that, they could be together openly, couldn’t they? Alright, all these things would take time; they couldn’t be sorted out so quickly. During this time, the two of them really needed the patience to get through this difficulty together.
"Qi Longbing, I think it’s better for you to stay in a hotel," Hua Xiaomo said, her expression slightly embarrassed. "Even though Candy isn’t home, there’s an auntie at home. It would be strange and awkward for the auntie to see you at our place, don’t you think? Besides, our auntie is a very good person. I wouldn’t want her to misunderstand me." Well, at this moment, that was all she could say.
By saying so, she was also reminding Qi Longbing that he needed to resolve his own issues sooner.
Only then could they be together openly. Then, they could both accompany Candy as she grew up. Yes, Candy was her daughter; she could take good care of Candy and give her lots of love. Candy would feel very happy, warm, and blessed. And Candy would be able to lead a joyous life like many other children. Candy would be overjoyed to have both her father and mother around. At that time, Candy would be thrilled. Such a life was what she longed for. With both parents by her side, a child is happiest. If there is only a father or only a mother, then the child would feel uncomfortable and a bit out of place compared to others. Well, what would be so different about her? It would be because she grew up in a single-parent household, and children from single-parent families are the ones who lack love the most. She absolutely couldn’t let her own Candy lack love. She should give her Little Candy the happiest life possible, so having both Dad and Mom around is the happiest life indeed.
Qi Longbing’s face darkened a bit upon hearing Hua Xiaomo speak. Looking at her expression, he thought, Hua Xiaomo won’t easily agree to let me stay in her villa. This will take time, and forcing it wouldn’t be good. Having come to this realization, he looked at Hua Xiaomo and smiled.
"Hua Xiaomo, you actually turned me away. Well, then I have no choice but to say that I can’t stay at your home. It seems I must go back to the hotel," Qi Longbing said reluctantly, his handsome face glowing faintly as he looked at Hua Xiaomo. I feel so wronged! I belong to their family, and now I’m being shut out—how pitiable! But at this moment, I’m even more resolved. Sooner or later, I will return to be by their side and have Candy and Hua Xiaomo. Then, I will give them the best life possible. I certainly won’t leave them again! Well, a temporary departure is just to ensure we can be together forever in the future. I’m sure I can overcome such difficulties.
Seeing that he had come to terms with it, Hua Xiaomo smiled, looked at Qi Longbing, and said, "HAHA, it’s best that you’ve realized this. Qi Longbing, staying in a hotel is actually more suitable for you at this moment, especially since you haven’t divorced yet, right? If you’re not divorced, you can’t come to our home. Such a move would have a very bad influence. No matter what, Little Candy’s current thoughts are the most important. We should both consider the child’s perspective, right? We shouldn’t cause any negative impact on the child."
"Alright, alright, I get it. Everything for the sake of the child," Qi Longbing said, looking at Hua Xiaomo with a helpless, wry smile. "Hua Xiaomo, you just want to make things difficult for me. Fine, I’ll go back to the hotel then. Who made me love you two so much? Okay, let all the grievances come at me; I can fully take care of both of your feelings." Then, as if thinking of something, he added, "Hua Xiaomo, when do you get off work? Should I wait for you after work to pick up the child together, or should I go pick up the child myself? Which method do you think is better?"
Hua Xiaomo looked at Qi Longbing, tilted her head, and smiled awkwardly. Actually, at this moment, I’m thinking of a different plan, and I don’t quite agree with either of the methods he suggested.
"Qi Longbing, I think you shouldn’t pick up the child," Hua Xiaomo said quickly. "Just stay in the hotel, and I’ll pick up the child. After that, I’ll call you, you can come down, and then we can go out to have dinner together, watch a movie, or just go for a stroll. How does that sound?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Looking at Qi Longbing, she thought, To be honest, it’s better if he doesn’t show up at the school. There are too many people there, and who knows what the teachers and other parents might say about Candy behind our backs. It’s better to maintain the status quo for now—not to be too conspicuous. Such a sudden change would make people feel very uncomfortable and awkward.
Upon hearing this, Qi Longbing’s entire demeanor darkened. He hung his head and looked towards Hua Xiaomo.
