The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 533 - 530: Still Needs Time to Polish
And he could work, earn money, live, and study just like a normal person. She felt truly happy, genuinely happy; seeing him work so joyfully brought her great comfort.
"Maybe all we need between us is a bit more time to grow together. Let’s all work hard, I will too, and I hope you do as well. Reach your own goals while I fulfill my dreams. Let’s all work hard together." Ye Xiangxue quickly closed QQ after sending that message. No, rather, she set QQ to invisible and then got back to her work in earnest.
In the chairman’s office on the other end, Hua Xiaomo was also busy with work, as their game company had just developed new software. So, with a string of tasks lined up, he had hardly a moment to himself the entire day until his phone suddenly rang in the late afternoon.
Recognizing Qi Longbing’s number on the display, Hua Xiaomo quickly answered, "Qi Longbing, have you gotten some rest? Where are you now? Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?"
"No need, Hua Xiaomo, I’ve driven myself and am now just below your office building. Are you still at work? Isn’t it about time to pick up the kids?" Qi Longbing asked promptly, glancing at the time. The usual pickup time at the kindergarten was 5:00 PM, and it was now 4:00 PM.
Hua Xiaomo frowned and replied directly, "It’s not time yet. It’s just past four, and there’s still an hour to go until kid pickup time, so there’s no rush to fetch the children." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Then how about we stroll around the kindergarten before picking up the child? You don’t have to time it exactly. You can go early and take a walk around there—it can be nice. Besides, I can familiarize myself with the surrounding environment," Qi Longbing said, his handsome face glowing with a smile.
At that moment, the thought of his daughter’s smiling face made him find her incredibly adorable. He was truly grateful to Hua Xiaomo for giving birth to their daughter, Candy. He loved Candy very much.
After considering for a moment, Hua Xiaomo suggested, "Going at four o’clock is too early. How about 4:30? At that time, I will come down. Otherwise, why don’t you wander around elsewhere first, then call me again at 4:30, and I will come down, okay?"
Picking up the child at 4:00 PM? But most parents pick them up at 5:00! And what was there to even look at near the kindergarten?
He was in no mood for a stroll; he was already busy enough, completely swamped with work!
He just wanted to get his work done quickly. Right now, he felt incredibly busy.
He didn’t have the leisure for such things, unlike Qi Longbing! Qi Longbing, on the other hand, could do something more meaningful, like having someone find out where Pan Yutong was. Pan Yutong should still be in City B—he had a feeling about it!
Moreover, she wouldn’t leave City B easily; she must still be hiding in some corner. She might take this opportunity to go to the kindergarten and cause trouble for his daughter, or come to the company to cause trouble for him. Well, he was ready for her to show up anytime, anywhere.
However, he felt he couldn’t let his daughter suffer any grievances. If his daughter was wronged, it would feel as if he himself had been wronged, and he would be very upset.
The last incident at the kindergarten was truly unbearable. He felt Pan Yutong was an utterly atrocious woman, completely beyond reason or communication.
He found such a woman utterly intolerable.
"Alright, that works. I’ll go wander for half an hour, and then come over. It will be 4:30 by then, and I’ll call you to come down. That’s settled then, I’ll be off first. Oh, and don’t work too hard, take care of your health, okay? Have some coffee whenever you can, it’s quite rejuvenating, you know!" Qi Longbing said before quickly ending the call.
Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, murmuring to himself, "Heh, since when can coffee nourish the body?"
Okay, that was a novel idea. He had only ever heard that coffee was invigorating, never that it could be nourishing. Strange indeed!
Well, wherever Qi Longbing had heard it from, saying such things was for his benefit. He appreciated it.
Hua Xiaomo dove back into his work, which now completely occupied his thoughts.
Soon, the half-hour passed, and his phone rang again—sure enough, it was Qi Longbing. Hua Xiaomo put down his work and cheerfully answered, "Qi Longbing, it’s surprising how fast time flew by. Wait a little bit, I’ll be right down."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you to come down quickly," said Qi Longbing, a smile gracing his lips.
He smiled just thinking about Hua Xiaomo coming down.
Indeed, he was really looking forward to seeing him again. His mind was always on Hua Xiaomo and their daughter, and he hoped to provide them with more care and a sense of security.
Of course, some things shouldn’t just be expressed verbally.
Actions must back up words. Of course, he intended to show his resolve, to make Hua Xiaomo understand how much he wanted to be with him and with Candy.
Providing a happy home for Hua Xiaomo and Candy was what he most wanted to do now.
And such determination had to be achieved through concrete actions, not just lip service, which would only lead to disappointment and dejection.
It wasn’t long before Hua Xiaomo, carrying his bag, walked downstairs.
He saw the car already waiting at the building’s entrance. He walked over, saw Qi Longbing in the driver’s seat, and waved. Qi Longbing quickly opened the car door.
Hua Xiaomo then sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the handsome man beside him and commented, "It seems you’ve really had a good rest, Qi Longbing."
"Yes, indeed. I had a great sleep. By the way, after we pick up Candy, we’ll go out to eat. Have you thought about where you’d like to go?" Qi Longbing said, his handsome face radiant with a smile.
