The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 582 - 579 Waiting Silly for Him
Didn’t she realize that Qi Longbing was merely consuming her youth, her prime years? Yet she was so foolishly waiting for him, still hoping he would divorce? How ridiculous! But he knew that no matter what he said, Hua Xiaomo wouldn’t believe him or listen. She would just keep waiting for Qi Longbing, on and on, and Candy would continue on, muddled in some inexplicable form of Qi Longbing’s care.
But could that truly be called care? Qi Longbing had long ago lost his rights as a father! Yet now, he had managed to sweet-talk both Hua Xiaomo and Candy so effectively. Such a man truly made one want to beat him up!
But he knew he couldn’t do that. If he did, Hua Xiaomo would surely be devastated and would never forgive him. What else could he possibly do to make Hua Xiaomo see his true heart? He felt utterly confused, and the feeling was unbearable. If Hua Xiaomo truly loved him, she would consider his feelings. But the truth proved she didn’t love him at all, whereas he was completely in love with her!
Hua Xiaomo looked at Zi Yunsui silently for a while, her amber eyes holding a shadowed glint. But what could she say at this moment? He was about to marry Ye Xiangxue, and they were indeed the most suitable pair. She genuinely wanted to urge him to treat Ye Xiangxue well, to live a good life with her, and to forget everything else. Thinking further would only add to her own troubles.
Isn’t that so? Although she and Zi Yunsui had gotten along quite well before, it was based only on their partnership; at best, they were friends. That was the extent of it. Even though Zi Yunsui had previously stayed at her villa, their relationship had always been merely that of collaborative friends, nothing more. Though later events seemed to forge some connection between them, she still felt it wasn’t quite right.
Yes, perhaps it was after Qi Longbing returned to her side that she realized she loved Qi Longbing even more. She found she simply couldn’t refuse Qi Longbing’s kindness towards her, and Qi Longbing was also very good to Candy. Qi Longbing was Candy’s biological father and had always loved her; they got along so well. No matter how one looked at it, it was only natural for Candy to return to her biological father’s side. Conversely, it would be wrong for her to cruelly separate them. She would always consider her daughter.
Hua Xiaomo looked at Zi Yunsui with a smile and said, "Zi Yunsui, can you please stop thinking about the past? Those things are over. Besides, aren’t you and Ye Xiangxue getting along very well? She will surely be good to you, and you should be good to her too, right? Only if you are good to each other will the little family you two create be happy."
Zi Yunsui said nothing further; he remained very silent.
He looked at Hua Xiaomo. He truly wanted to speak his heart to her, to converse like friends, but he found it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to accept him. It seemed her thoughts were solely on Qi Longbing; beyond him, nothing else remained. In her heart, had he truly become insignificant? Was that it?
Perhaps Hua Xiaomo truly thought that way. But in his own heart, he knew he couldn’t sever his feelings for her. Besides, they had shared that intimacy; no matter what, they couldn’t pretend nothing had happened. Yes, they had been together. How could they act as if nothing had occurred?
Yet, every time he recalled those memories, they were still so beautiful. He always felt as if Hua Xiaomo were still by his side. The feeling of being together with her then was so good: he held her, she lay in his arms, and they woke up together.
That feeling was genuinely wonderful. He really liked her; he wished so, so much to be Candy’s father. He felt he was capable of being a good husband and father. Of course, he would do his best to make them both happy. He believed that if Hua Xiaomo agreed to be with him, agreed to be his wife, he would surely love her. Love her for a lifetime, be good to her forever... but such a wish was now impossible. Hua Xiaomo had drifted so far away; she no longer belonged to him.
Her heart was entirely with Qi Longbing. That man had stolen all of Hua Xiaomo’s heart, simply because he was Candy’s father. He knew that had to be the reason. Otherwise, Hua Xiaomo wouldn’t have forgiven Qi Longbing so easily. Moreover, Qi Longbing was already married, yet Hua Xiaomo was willing to wait for him. This showed how much she was truly suffering.
But what could be done? Hua Xiaomo herself was willing to endure this pain. What could anyone else say? After all, one lives one’s own life; what others say hardly matters. Yet, he truly ached for her. He didn’t want her to live so aggrievedly. He hoped she could be happy; he wished for her to find all joy, and for Candy to be happy too.
Hua Xiaomo watched him. Seeing Zi Yunsui start the car again, she found herself at a loss for words. She simply quieted down, watching as Zi Yunsui drove off. As she sat in the car, a slight, inexplicable anxiety crept over her.
"Candy is asleep. Besides, isn’t the nanny there? You don’t have to worry about anything. Just keep me company, please?" Zi Yunsui said slowly. His voice was low, tinged with a hint of suppression. "I know you might have certain ideas about me sometimes, but it’s truly not like that. You see me with Ye Xiangxue, and it might look good on the surface, but that has nothing to do with love, you know?"
He felt there were some things he absolutely had to make clear to her. Of course, he deeply hoped they could return to how they were before, able to talk about anything. He realized that ever since he recovered, he and Hua Xiaomo had rarely spoken privately. And such opportunities, such moments for conversation, were far too limited.
