The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 640 - 637: Qi Longbing’s Love Is Like the Ocean

After all, they were related by blood. And indeed, because of this kinship, Qi Longbing’s love was like the ocean—vast and unceasing.

Qi Longbing’s love for Candy was simply beyond words; he adored her, and she, in turn, loved him dearly.

Their bond truly moved Hua Xiaomo.

She felt that the two of them truly had so many things to say to each other, more than she could even articulate.

Alright, she just felt that the two of them genuinely loved each other, two people so deeply in love.

Alright, perhaps "in love" was a bit of an exaggeration. Theirs was the affection between a father and daughter, a familial love that was truly, deeply touching.

Hua Xiaomo took a deep breath, then looked at Candy and said slowly, a happy smile on her face, "Seeing you two so affectionate, let me take a photo of you. Yes, let me take your picture! You two have never had a photo taken together, have you? Doesn’t that feel a little special? Haha, you two pose, and I’ll take a really, really beautiful photo. And it would be even better if you both made some funny faces for the picture!"

"That way, it’ll feel even more heartwarming! Alright, strike a pose, and I’ll take your picture. By the way, my photography skills are excellent; I’ve even won awards for them!"

"Haha, you two didn’t know that, did you? I didn’t tell Candy, and I didn’t tell you. So, Qi Longbing, you must be surprised too! Actually, my photography skills are really fantastic now; I think they’re even up to international standards!"

"And I think if I took photos of you two and entered them into some competitions, they could definitely win awards! Haha, see? I’m pretty good, huh? I truly have confidence in this. I believe hobbies should be wide-ranging; one shouldn’t be too narrow. They should be diverse so that life doesn’t become boring."

"That way, one’s life won’t be monotonous either. Such a wonderful, happy life is right before our eyes, and our beautiful lives will become even more splendid, don’t you agree? Okay, come on, hurry up and strike a pose! I’m going to take your picture. I’ll make sure to take the most beautiful one, absolutely photogenic! Okay, hurry and get into your poses!"

"Wow, Mommy, you’re so amazing! Wow, Mommy, you’re so talented! Mommy, you even know photography! You’ve really surprised me, Mommy! You’re so outstanding! I feel so happy! Having such a wonderful mom... Mommy, I really like you! Mommy, I really love you! Mommy, you have to take my picture to look just like the Magic Fairy Princess, okay? Mommy, I really like you so much! You have to make me look really, really pretty in the picture, okay?"

"You can’t make me look like an ugly monster. If you make me look like an ugly monster, I’ll be mad at you, and I won’t acknowledge you as my mom anymore! Hurry up and take the picture, Mommy! Look how happy and pretty I am! Hurry and take it!" Little Candy said with a smile.

Then, she suddenly threw herself into Qi Longbing’s arms. Qi Longbing picked Little Candy up, his heart feeling as sweet as honey. He felt so incredibly fortunate, so very, very fortunate.

And with Hua Xiaomo and Candy, he felt he possessed all the happiness in the world. He felt that neither he nor Hua Xiaomo could ever be separated from their child, and he wanted to possess the greatest happiness.

He also cherished these warmest, most precious moments in the world. He felt that he, his child, and Hua Xiaomo would never be separated. They were one entity, a whole family, a very strong unit.

Alright, this ’unit’ was, quite simply, a family!

「Sometime later」

Qi Longbing, Hua Xiaomo, and Candy were living together. Qi Longbing and Hua Xiaomo also partnered to produce TV dramas, signing many popular entertainers. Among them was Zhang Xiaoman, who signed with Hua Xiaomo and Qi Longbing’s company.

Zhang Xiaoman brought no small amount of trouble into their lives.

However, Qi Longbing still hadn’t managed to divorce Pan Yutong. Despite this, Hua Xiaomo accepted him, and they were living together for the time being. They both resided in B City, with Qi Longbing only occasionally returning to A City to handle matters for the Qi Imperial Court.

Therefore, most of the affairs of the Qi Imperial Court were left in the hands of his younger brother, Qi Lingfeng.

However, his younger brother also indicated that if his elder brother were to return, he would hand full authority back to Qi Longbing. Meanwhile, in B City, Qi Longbing also established the Qi Film and Television Company, which was closely associated with Hua Xiaomo’s company. It quickly gained considerable influence, with a large number of entertainers signing on.

One day, Zhang Xiaoman came to Hua Xiaomo and Qi Longbing’s villa.

Zhang Xiaoman poured out her recent grievances to Hua Xiaomo.

Seeing her good friend facing such a predicament, Hua Xiaomo found it hard to accept at first. She couldn’t quite believe what she was hearing.

Zhang Xiaoman cried even harder. She looked at Hua Xiaomo, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed, "Xiao Mo, I really don’t know how I offended Long Bing, but he’s cancelled all my engagements! You know, for entertainers like us, the glamour is only on the surface. In reality, we rely entirely on the agency’s bookings to make a living."

"Without those bookings, it means we have no income. And without income, we can’t even cover our daily expenses. When my landlord heard the news, he refused to rent the apartment to me anymore. I’m in such a pitiful state now; I’ll be out on the streets."

"How could this be? What exactly happened? Why would Qi Longbing cancel all your engagements?" Hua Xiaomo asked, bewildered.

Zhang Xiaoman sniffled and said, "I’m not exactly sure about the specifics, but I think Long Bing believes that I was the one who took you out and caused you to encounter danger. He probably thinks I deliberately tried to set you up. But, Xiao Mo, you know me! How could I possibly try to harm you?"

"We were good classmates! I’m so happy for your success; I wouldn’t dream of harming you! How could I possibly set you up? Sigh... Now I’m completely blacklisted by the company. If this ban isn’t lifted, I don’t know how my acting career can continue. Xiao Mo, you have to help me. Please, help me, okay?"

Hua Xiaomo was completely stunned by this. Her gaze froze for a moment. She couldn’t understand why Qi Longbing would assume Zhang Xiaoman was trying to harm her. This is really strange. How could he be so arbitrary?
