The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 576 - 573: Defeated by That Kind of Woman?

Even if it cost her her life, she would be willing, but Qi Longbing wasn’t interested in her at all. And it was that woman, Hua Xiaomo, sowing discord between them. Oh God, she was truly at a loss.

How could she let herself be defeated by such a woman?

She had already arrived in City B and desperately wanted to sit down with Hua Xiaomo for a proper talk. Yet, she found that every time she saw that woman, she just couldn’t control her emotions.

"What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? I’m telling you, Pan Yutong, you’d better not try any more of your crooked schemes. I will never compromise with you. Our marriage is definitely over."

"Furthermore, the cooperation between Warner World and our Qi Imperial Court will also cease. We’ve decided to terminate all business relations with you," Qi Longbing said quickly, having made a resolute decision.

Truthfully, all the damage done was irreparable. He also had to fully consider Little Candy’s and Hua Xiaomo’s perspectives in this matter.

From now on, he wanted no interaction whatsoever with this woman. Any contact would only hurt him, and not just him, but Hua Xiaomo and Candy as well.

This was not something he wanted. The only thing he could do now was protect Hua Xiaomo and his daughter, Candy, and ensure they were both happy.

He would absolutely not allow anyone to hurt Hua Xiaomo again. If anyone dared to try, he would never forgive them. He swore it on his conscience.

Pan Yutong was so furious she was speechless. She looked at Qi Longbing; for some reason, in this marriage, she always felt she was the weaker one, completely subject to his decisions.

He did as he pleased, while she had no say whatsoever. But no matter what, she was his wife, wasn’t she? Why didn’t he respect her at all? What had she done wrong?

She believed she wasn’t wrong. Was it a mistake to love someone? If love was wrong, then why had he let her fall in love with him in the first place?

She didn’t understand; she truly didn’t. She felt she had fallen in love with him a long, long time ago, hoping to marry him, to be with him. But when all of this finally came true, she discovered that love, as many people say, was indeed a tomb. The love was dead.

Perhaps she had never received his love. If so, was all her effort worth it? If it wasn’t, where would this love go? Everything made her terrified and anxious, yet she still wanted to desperately cling to this love, like grasping a life-saving straw.

She didn’t want him to leave her because, no matter what, she still loved him. She loved him with her life.

But why couldn’t she understand it? Why was Qi Longbing’s heart so utterly captivated by Hua Xiaomo? Hua Xiaomo had ensnared him so intensely, so desperately, that Pan Yutong couldn’t get between them at all. It was simply unbearable.

That was my husband! My own husband, lured away by another woman, and I’m powerless! How utterly humiliating would it be if word of this got out!

Pan Yutong looked at Qi Longbing, tears welling in her eyes. She felt she could no longer endure him. Her own gaze was filled with pain. After a long moment, she finally met his eyes and said, "Qi Longbing, do you really want to divorce me? Do you truly have no regard for the feelings between us?"

Qi Longbing looked at her and said decisively, "There were never any feelings between us, Pan Yutong. Whether you understand it or not, that is the truth. I hope you can recognize this fact."

"Stop clinging to this needlessly; it benefits no one. If you understand, then sign the divorce agreement quickly. Don’t bother Hua Xiaomo or my daughter anymore. In this lifetime, I will only love Hua Xiaomo."

"I’m telling you, this is the plain truth. I hope you’ll think it over carefully and stop wasting both our time. Besides, you’re so young. You can find someone you love. Believe me, there are plenty of people in this world waiting to love you!" Qi Longbing said swiftly, his eyes filled with coldness. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything kinder; these were the best words he could offer at this moment.

Watching Qi Longbing, a deep gloom filled Pan Yutong’s eyes, and her face was etched with agony. After a long pause, she said, "Qi Longbing, how can you treat me like this? I love you so much! How can you do this to me? No matter what, I am still your lawful wife!"

"Hua Xiaomo... she’s nothing to you! How can you treat me this way? How could you do this? I can’t believe you’re actually saying these things to me."

Pan Yutong looked at Qi Longbing, her heart pounding violently. She wished Qi Longbing wouldn’t treat her so cruelly—it was too painful, unbearable.

If only they could go back to how their relationship once was, she would be willing to give even more. But this current situation was simply unbearable; she felt so much pain and distress. What could she do to stop Qi Longbing from treating her this way? How could she make him stop being so infatuated with Hua Xiaomo?

That Hua Xiaomo was truly a persistent pest! What could be done? Was it because Hua Xiaomo had borne him his daughter, Candy, that Qi Longbing couldn’t sever ties with her?

But no matter how you looked at it, I am Qi Longbing’s wife! Hua Xiaomo was never married to him; she’s just a third party—a genuine, undeniable interloper!

Qi Longbing listened, growing angrier. He looked sternly at Pan Yutong and said, "Pan Yutong, don’t you dare speak to me like that again! I’m furious, do you understand? It was because of you that Hua Xiaomo and I were forced to separate, and yet you still say such things? This is intolerable!"

"I’m telling you the truth: besides Hua Xiaomo, I will never love another woman in my life! Nor will I ever be good to any other woman. If you have any shred of self-awareness, then divorce me quickly! Sign the papers, and we can go our separate ways."

"Otherwise, dragging this out benefits no one!" Qi Longbing said, looking at her, his handsome face holding an icy glint.
