The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 588 - 585: Really Like Hua Xiaomo

He watched her, not knowing when he had sat down beside her. His gaze was focused and serious, as if afraid of missing any detail. He truly liked Hua Xiaomo a lot.

He felt Hua Xiaomo was a very good girl. It was because of her that he had the idea to start a gaming company, and it was with her that he embarked on this venture. These thoughts all stemmed from Hua Xiaomo, so her presence was integral to his success. And her success was, in a way, his too, as they were already inextricably linked by then.

But how cruel reality was to separate them! If this cruelty had to continue, he would rather not go on like this. He hoped to be with Hua Xiaomo in a rational way.

"Zi Yunsui, why do you have to be like this? Actually, I’m not that good. You see, I have many faults, yet you’ve always treated me with so much tolerance. I’m really happy. Thank you, Zi Yunsui. I know you’ve always been good to me," Hua Xiaomo said, looking at Zi Yunsui, her eyes somewhat glazed from alcohol at that moment.

She didn’t know how to tell him certain things. Her words now were very calm, no longer stirring any ripples. She knew she couldn’t go on like this anymore; she didn’t want to.

"Xiao Mo, you’re really silly. What do you have to thank me for? Do you really not know how I feel about you? Ever since I was willing to take care of you and the child, I truly started liking you, loving you," Zi Yunsui said, his eyes filled with her silhouette.

Hua Xiaomo looked at him and smiled faintly. Then, for no apparent reason, her eyes grew heavy. Perhaps it was due to too much alcohol; her vision blurred, and her eyelids became extremely heavy. Gradually, she closed her eyes, leaned against the couch, and fell asleep.

Zi Yunsui watched her, his gaze equally complicated. He just watched her for a good while. Then, he picked her up and walked towards the bedroom inside.

「The next morning.」

When Hua Xiaomo woke up, she was startled to see the person sleeping beside her. It was none other than Zi Yunsui, his handsome face serene, eyes tightly closed. He was sleeping soundly, his shoulder exposed, his smooth skin looking very fine.

For a moment, Hua Xiaomo was stunned. She hadn’t expected this outcome, had she? She tried hard to recall the events of last night. Then she looked at herself, feeling a twinge of pain in her body, and in that moment, she understood everything.

But she couldn’t blame him. She could clearly remember accepting him, though she hadn’t known what was happening at the time.

Hua Xiaomo hurriedly got up, quickly dressed, then grabbed her bag and rushed out the door. At that moment, Hua Xiaomo’s eyes were full of panic.

She had never expected such a thing to happen. When she went out yesterday, she hadn’t thought this would occur; she felt she and Zi Yunsui were already so familiar with each other. They were business partners and also very close friends. But even so, it didn’t mean they could continue like this. Oh, she felt a bit of annoyance, some regret. She really shouldn’t have gone out last night.

After a while, not having walked far, she suddenly remembered her phone was still in the room. Hua Xiaomo felt a pang of regret.

What should I do? Should I go back up to get my phone?

Hua Xiaomo frowned. But after thinking it over, she realized she had to go back for her phone. So, after a moment’s thought, Hua Xiaomo turned around and returned to the bar.

At this time, Zi Yunsui had also gotten up from the bed. He was getting dressed, and when he saw Hua Xiaomo return, he also felt a bit embarrassed.

"You’re back, Hua Xiaomo?" Zi Yunsui asked, looking at her and quickly fastening his buttons.

"I came to get my phone. I dropped it here," Hua Xiaomo said, walking quickly to his side of the bed. She then searched beside the headboard but couldn’t find her phone. She guessed her phone might have somehow fallen into the bed. But at that moment, Zi Yunsui was still in bed, and she felt too awkward to ask him to get up.

Zi Yunsui noticed her awkwardness and quickly got out of bed, lifting the covers to help her look for her phone.

Indeed, her phone was inexplicably hidden in the covers. Hua Xiaomo took her phone, and just as she was about to leave, Zi Yunsui called out to her.

"Hua Xiaomo, I’m really sorry about last night. I didn’t know it would turn out like this. You’re not blaming me, are you? Really, I didn’t want it to be this way. But Hua Xiaomo, I don’t want to force you," Zi Yunsui said, looking at Hua Xiaomo.

Last night, something had indeed happened, and it had genuinely happened. Zi Yunsui found it unexpected, but what was done was done. He couldn’t deny it, so he resolved to take responsibility for Hua Xiaomo and hoped she would recognize the situation for what it was.

Hua Xiaomo looked conflicted. She turned back to look at Zi Yunsui. She hadn’t expected them to end up in such a situation again. But what could she say? Should she blame him? She didn’t know what was appropriate. In her returning memories, she had also accepted him, and then, they had been together passionately. If that was the case, how could she blame the other person? If there was blame, it should lie with herself!

"Don’t talk about this anymore. Let’s just forget it. You’re about to get married. I hope you’ll forget about this, and I’ll forget it too," Hua Xiaomo said quickly. Her heart was in turmoil. Frankly, she hadn’t wanted this. She hadn’t expected that just as Zi Yunsui was about to be married, they would end up like this again. But how could her actions be justifiable to anyone? She had wronged Qi Longbing and caused Zi Yunsui to wrong Ye Xiangxue. In essence, they had hurt the people who loved them. That was not right; she could keenly feel how wrong their actions were.

When Zi Yunsui heard her say this, he felt a pang of pain. He looked at her, walked up to her, and said, word by word, "Hua Xiaomo, I really like you a lot. So why can’t you seriously consider me? Honestly, last night, you must have had feelings for me; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been with me, right? I don’t think the two of us will end just like this."
