The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 589 - 586 Let’s Get Married

Hua Xiaomo’s eyes held a touch of pain as she looked at Zi Yunsui. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "If we don’t end it like this, what else can we do? Zi Yunsui, you have Ye Xiangxue by your side, and I have Qi Longbing by mine. How can we wrong them both any further? Besides, what happened between us... I think it was a misunderstanding. Just forget about it. I’ll forget about it too."

Zi Yunsui gazed at her, not expecting her to say such things. Weren’t they so deeply connected when they were together yesterday? They truly loved each other; he could feel it. If Hua Xiaomo didn’t have him in her heart, she wouldn’t be acting this way.

After a long silence, Zi Yunsui finally asked, "Xiao Mo, tell me, do you love me?"

Hua Xiaomo froze, not expecting him to ask such a question. How should she respond? What happened last night had left her unable to face him even now. She didn’t know what to say to him. Yet, at the time, she hadn’t blamed him. Perhaps it was true that they had simply been drawn together irresistibly. She wasn’t sure if it was because they had collaborated for so long, or if they needed to take their relationship further, or some other reason entirely, but they had ended up together. Looking at him, Hua Xiaomo felt a pang of anguish. But what could she say?

They were the closest of collaborators. They had even started a company together, naming it after themselves, which showed the company truly belonged to both of them.

She didn’t understand why they felt they should come together like this, why they believed establishing such a relationship would make the company stronger. Hua Xiaomo was confused. Had she, deep down, anticipated this connection and therefore not resisted it? Was that really what she thought? If so, how could she ever face Qi Longbing?

"Hua Xiaomo, don’t talk to me about Qi Longbing! He has no right to be with you! He’s a married man! And Hua Xiaomo, don’t be so naive. You and Qi Longbing are simply impossible. He can’t give you anything!"

"And why should you waste your youth like this? You can choose someone better. You know there’s always been someone like that by your side." Zi Yunsui looked unflinchingly into her eyes, his heart brimming with excitement.

Hua Xiaomo’s heart was a maelstrom of emotions. She didn’t speak for a long time, just stood there. She didn’t know what she should or shouldn’t say. She felt utterly confused, her emotions in complete disarray.

Seeing she didn’t move, Zi Yunsui stepped towards her, rested his hands on her shoulders, and gazed into her beautiful face. He spoke slowly, "Hua Xiaomo, let’s go get our marriage license." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Hua Xiaomo was startled. She looked up at Zi Yunsui, never expecting him to say such words to her. But why was he saying these things? Could his relationship with Ye Xiangxue be a lie? Did he truly feel nothing for Ye Xiangxue? Didn’t he like her at all? She found it hard to believe Zi Yunsui would actually say these things to her.

Zi Yunsui looked at Hua Xiaomo. In that moment, he felt a deep desire to be with her, to spend his entire life with her. He wanted to be Candy’s father. His wish was that simple. For that, he was ready to give anything. He couldn’t leave Hua Xiaomo. He couldn’t let Hua Xiaomo leave him. And he certainly couldn’t let Candy leave him. He truly wanted to be with mother and daughter.

It was Qi Longbing’s intrusion that had cost him this chance.

But now, it was as if they were back at the same starting line. He was pursuing Hua Xiaomo again. After all, with the new intimacy they shared, he believed Hua Xiaomo must have a place for him in her heart. And as an unmarried man, wasn’t he more qualified to pursue her than Qi Longbing?

Hua Xiaomo was speechless. As she looked at him, her eyes inexplicably misted over, a faint glimmer of tears welling within them.

"Hua Xiaomo, don’t be afraid. With me by your side, you’ll never have to fear anything. We’ll go register our marriage tomorrow. I’ll always be here to protect you," Zi Yunsui said, then slowly lowered his head...

For some reason, Hua Xiaomo accepted him again. In that moment, she felt her heart pounding, fast and hard.

Finally, Hua Xiaomo pushed Zi Yunsui away and said, "Zi Yunsui, I need to think about this."

Zi Yunsui looked at her, nodded, and replied, "Hua Xiaomo, I’ll let you think. But I still believe we should go register first. How about tomorrow? Tomorrow morning, we’ll go."

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is too soon. I need to think it through properly," Hua Xiaomo said, hesitating for a moment, her eyes flickering.

She truly hadn’t expected to be with him again, let alone reach the point of registering their marriage. Ugh, this was so frustrating! How had she ended up in this situation again? She felt an overwhelming sense of awkwardness.

Zi Yunsui remained silent. But he knew he had to strike while the iron was hot. He couldn’t let her think for too long. The more time she had, the more her current enthusiasm might fade, along with any thought of marrying him. He had finally managed to move her heart; he couldn’t bear to lose her again.

"Hua Xiaomo, I will truly treat you well! And Candy too. Please, let me take care of you and Candy, okay? I promise I’ll treat Candy as if she were my own daughter," Zi Yunsui urged, looking intently at Hua Xiaomo. His eyes shone. He felt such a strong connection with Hua Xiaomo. They even ran a company together! Everything felt so perfect, so destined. He had to be with Hua Xiaomo; how could he possibly let her go?

With this thought, Zi Yunsui felt an even stronger conviction that he couldn’t let Hua Xiaomo leave him. He took another step forward and grasped her hand tightly.

Hua Xiaomo’s mind was in turmoil. She looked at Zi Yunsui and said, "Zi Yunsui, can we please not talk about this anymore? I want to go home. Oh, right, Candy has school today!"

Zi Yunsui looked at her and nodded. "Alright. You take her to school, and I’ll wait for you at the office, okay?"
