The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 713 - 710: Deeply Deceived
"Mommy will never be as strict with you as she was before. Mommy will definitely love you more, and since it’s just the two of us from now on, I will treat you even better. Do you believe in Mommy?" Hua Xiaomo looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with pain.
She didn’t want to say much, but deep down, she felt an unspeakable hurt. Her daughter was so fond of Qi Longbing, so trusting, so confident that he could provide a happy future for both of them. But that promised future had turned out to be nothing but a deep deception. That future had ultimately burst like a bubble, causing her indescribable discomfort and truly agonizing sorrow—a pain she felt she couldn’t endure. Yet, if things were to continue this way, she knew the pain would persist, making life unbearable for all three of them.
Such a situation would harm Candy the most, and she couldn’t bear to go on like this. She didn’t want to be entangled in this mess any longer. What was the point of it all?
The love triangle they were in would lead to no positive outcome. She hoped they could all see the issue clearly, sit down calmly, and discuss it. To resolve this once and for all... Regardless of whether Qi Longbing divorced Pan Yutong or not, she felt an insurmountable problem remained between them: Qi Longbing simply couldn’t bring himself to divorce Pan Yutong.
Since he couldn’t divorce Pan Yutong, what was the point of her being with him? Who would bear such pain? And how tragic would that burden be?
She truly didn’t know what step to take next or how to continue. The pain was so intense. She felt like she wanted to withdraw, but doing so was too painful. She still wanted to be with him, yet she couldn’t bear the criticism and insults from others. Such words truly stung. The world doesn’t tolerate affairs; they’re highly immoral. So, it seemed that since Qi Longbing and Pan Yutong hadn’t divorced, she had unequivocally become the third party. This feeling was truly unbearable—like being stuck deep in a mire, covered head to toe in mud. Even if she managed to extricate herself, she’d still feel dirty.
Alright, Candy was in kindergarten now and would start elementary school tomorrow. She hoped Candy’s emotional world could remain pure, untangled from adult complications. If it was for Candy’s sake, she was willing to make any sacrifice, even leaving Qi Longbing. After all, their relationship had reached this point; they couldn’t possibly be together anymore.
Qi Longbing had deceived her. He never actually divorced Pan Yutong; he had lied about it. According to Pan Yutong, it seemed Qi Longbing had even forged the divorce papers. But what purpose did that serve? It was utterly laughable! Could divorce papers really be falsified?
Since Pan Yutong was unwilling to divorce him, why did he keep pursuing me? This feeling was truly agonizing. It was so hard to endure. If the situation were to continue, she first had to clarify her own position and his. Indeed, what was Qi Longbing’s position now? Qi Longbing was relishing having two women in his life! But was he really that happy? Was he truly joyful? Did that kind of life genuinely make him comfortable?
She didn’t believe he truly felt that way, even though she understood the pain deep in his heart. But ultimately, he seemed incapable of divorcing his wife. If he couldn’t divorce Pan Yutong, then he shouldn’t seek Hua Xiaomo out again. She herself longed for a normal marriage, for a pure love to envelop her. She also wanted a life for herself and her child together, one where the feelings involved were pure and not so complicated.
Indeed, the feelings Qi Longbing evoked were enormously complex. He knew what he truly felt deep down, but she couldn’t say much more to him. His priority should be resolving his own marital situation. Another thing she thought he should consider was how to make Pan Yutong willingly divorce him. If he could get a divorce, then she would take Candy and be with him. But if he couldn’t get a divorce, then she would choose to give up.
It felt truly helpless, truly uncomfortable. But what more could she say? She couldn’t say anything, only bury this sorrow deep within her heart.
It seemed what Zi Yunsui had said before was indeed correct. He had said Qi Longbing would definitely not divorce that woman easily. Looking at it now, his words were true. Pan Yutong clearly had no intention of divorcing Qi Longbing, and for him to try and force her was also wrong. After all, divorce is a matter for two people to sit down and discuss clearly. Only then could future entanglements be avoided, which would benefit both of them. However, if they couldn’t sit down and discuss matters carefully, if one couldn’t make the other accept the divorce conditions, then the consequences would remain very troublesome. Pan Yutong would continue to harass Qi Longbing, making their family’s life unbearable. Such a situation was unfavorable for everyone involved.
They—or perhaps just she—were always trying to find a breakthrough, a way to resolve this issue and bring it to an end. But now, it seemed an incredibly difficult task because Pan Yutong was so obstinate. Pan Yutong was so stubborn, unwilling to listen to anyone else. Moreover, she clung to her own perspective, intent on imposing her suffering on them, creating a truly unbearable feeling for Hua Xiaomo and Qi Longbing.
Well, no matter the circumstances, she felt the only thing she needed to do now was take good care of her daughter, manage her company well, and make her film. Her priority now, she felt, should be the voiceover work for her daughter’s film—fulfilling Candy’s dream, which was also her own.ŸŸŸ
