The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 696 - 693: It’s Only Right That She Marries Him
So, she had decided to distance herself from Zi Yunsui to make way for his relationship with Ye Xiangxue.
After all, her child Candy was indeed Qi Longbing’s biological offspring, so it seemed only right for the child to return to Qi Longbing’s embrace. Qi Longbing had treated her well, so once he successfully divorced, she wouldn’t have any reason to leave his side. It was only natural for her to marry him! It felt as though this was all just part of a process, didn’t it? Well, she believed her choices wouldn’t be wrong.
As for the ambiguous relationship between her and Jin Sha, she hoped to maintain their current professional dynamic. Being work partners, being confidants—that wasn’t a bad way to go. But perhaps she should approach their issues with a bit more rationality. They could be lifelong friends; she was okay with that. But she hoped their relationship would remain uncomplicated. Because she wanted Ye Xiangxue to become Zi Yunsui’s wife, to stand by Zi Yunsui. And she herself could be with Qi Longbing. This way, both couples could find a complete resolution. However, if anyone failed to adhere to this arrangement, it might cause pain for all four of them.
She didn’t want to see that, and she hoped Zi Yunsui could be more rational. She also wished for Zi Yunsui to fall in love with Ye Xiangxue, just as she envisioned. Their beautiful, happy tomorrows, including their warm and joyful marriages, could be just as wonderful as hers and Qi Longbing’s. She and Qi Longbing also yearned for that beautiful marital life. She, too, would live happily with Qi Longbing and their child. Yes, this state of affairs was what she wished for.
She hoped Zi Yunsui would seriously consider this matter and grasp the necessary boundaries well. Although something had happened between them in the past, it could all become a memory, couldn’t it? Whether those memories were happy or otherwise, wasn’t it good enough to cherish them as such? There was no need to delve deeper. Everyone involved was an adult, and there was no need for talk of who was responsible for whom; that wasn’t applicable. She felt that Qi Longbing was truly her ultimate haven.
Zi Yunsui might just be a passerby in her romantic life. But who said Zi Yunsui was only a transient figure? Zi Yunsui was destined to be her lifelong partner in work. After all, her company couldn’t function without him! He was her general manager. He had always treated her well, and truth be told, she had always held a special place for him in her heart. Occasionally, she would reflect on the care he had shown her. Even though this care might not match the love she felt for Qi Longbing, it still carried a certain sweetness. She believed that Zi Yunsui could also find his own, even sweeter love.
She hoped he would find happiness. She hoped he and Ye Xiangxue could walk together and truly experience the joy of love. She also hoped to keep their friendship intact. This friendship was incredibly precious to both of them. No matter what had happened in the past, their relationship would endure. They were the closest of work partners, the closest of collaborators, and in many ways, maintained the closest possible platonic bond. This kind of relationship felt extremely, extremely comfortable! Yes, this comfortable relationship ultimately had to transition into a purely professional one. She hoped that Zi Yunsui would also be able to look at this issue very rationally.
Zi Yunsui looked at Hua Xiaomo, his brow furrowing in that instant.
Though he said nothing, merely smiling with his eyes crinkling, he sensed something was very wrong.
Zi Yunsui abruptly grabbed Hua Xiaomo’s hand and pulled her into his embrace.
At that moment, he felt overwhelmed; he truly did.
He had been suppressing his feelings for a very, very long time. He believed Hua Xiaomo should belong to him, not to Qi Longbing. He thought Hua Xiaomo should be in his arms, not another man’s. After all, their relationship had long since crossed the usual boundaries between a man and a woman. But why couldn’t Hua Xiaomo be with him? And why was he being forced to marry another woman? All of this left him feeling incredibly conflicted and repressed. He truly hoped Hua Xiaomo could see all these emotions clearly, understand all his own thoughts, and genuinely accept him.
Hua Xiaomo was startled, looking up at the man embracing her. She had never imagined he would be so bold as to hug her like this! She felt a bit mortified and awkward but, very quickly, his kiss pressed against the corner of her mouth, making her entire heart tremble. She had never expected he would actually kiss her like this!
She didn’t know what was wrong with herself, as she didn’t immediately pull away. Just as she was about to speak, Zi Yunsui had already kissed her deeply, leaving her unable to resist.
After kissing her for a long while, he finally let go of Hua Xiaomo slightly. Looking at her blushing cheeks, Zi Yunsui slowly smiled. "Hua Xiaomo, I truly love you. I really would do many, many things for you, but I want you to also be rational. Are you and Qi Longbing really suitable? Do you really want to marry him? Are you truly willing to abandon everything for him?"
"Are you truly willing to reject me for him? I feel so wronged, you know. I love both you and Candy very much. I desperately want to be Candy’s father. But I hope you can accept me, alright? Even if we can’t be together right away, I just hope you won’t agree to him so hastily, okay?"
"Even if Qi Longbing really does get divorced, please don’t agree to marry him, alright? Because I truly love you. I really can’t be without you, Xiao Mo! I like you so much."
Zi Yunsui, struggling for control, once again tried to hold Hua Xiaomo.
Hua Xiaomo thought for a moment and still pushed him away. At that moment, she felt extremely conflicted. She hadn’t expected Zi Yunsui to still be so entangled in his love for her. She believed they should channel these matters into their work and not sink deeper like this. They should both be rational people and not continue down this mistaken path. Although they had slept together before, that couldn’t be a reason they had to be together in the future. They were both rational people, and they both had to choose the person they truly loved. Only then could they spend a lifetime together.
