The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 793 - 790 Let’s just be good friends

"Forget it, Qi Longbing. If this is what you think of me, then for me, that feeling is truly gone. But what will it take for you to accept my idea? My idea is very simple: let’s just be good friends. That’s it! If you like Candy, if you want to see her, I haven’t said you can’t come and visit, right?"

After Hua Xiaomo said this, her mind was a whirl of conflict. She hadn’t expected Qi Longbing to completely reject her idea, which made her feel deeply embarrassed. Alright, she thought, living with her daughter, just the two of them, was already a great happiness.

Adding another person into the mix could change their lives. She also felt this situation was incredibly complicated. Right now, she found herself caught in the conflict between Qi Longbing and Zi Yunsui.

It gave her an indescribable feeling, and she felt extremely troubled. She didn’t know what to do. Especially since Qi Longbing wasn’t divorced yet, it was impossible for them to truly be together—they couldn’t go and get a marriage certificate!

On the other hand, Zi Yunsui was very kind to her, and he was also her general manager. She couldn’t just abandon her feelings for him. Looking at it now, she was caught in a love triangle.

Alright, she didn’t want to dwell on this relationship now. She just wanted to live simply with her daughter. She didn’t want to think about romantic entanglements anymore because matters of the heart were sometimes hard to accept.

Right now, she just wanted to live a simple, happy life with her daughter. She genuinely didn’t want to think about anything else because overthinking would only lead to headaches and make some issues difficult to comprehend.

Some things were hard to manage, and now she didn’t want to dwell on them too much. Ruminating on things would only burden her with emotional baggage and cause unsettling changes within herself; that was wrong. It would only worsen her headaches.

Okay, she didn’t want to overthink. It was fine as it was; just keeping things simple was good. She didn’t want to dwell on other matters, as overthinking only causes immense discomfort and pain.

"Qi Longbing, I don’t understand why you can’t accept my current feelings. I also don’t understand why you can’t see things my way. If we were just good friends, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? Good friends can care for each other and do many things for one another."

"It’s not that we can’t do many things just because we’re good friends. You can visit your daughter whenever you want; she will always be your daughter, and I won’t stop you. Oh, if you don’t want to be friends, then there’s nothing I can do because this is as far as I’m willing to go. For me, I believe you and I can only be good friends!"

"Yes, because you aren’t divorced yet. If you’re not divorced, you can’t get a marriage certificate with me. Then, we can’t form a family, right? That’s the simplest way to look at it, don’t you think? I genuinely just want a simple life, not merely a simple form of happiness. As for what that means to you, I have no idea."

"Alright, Qi Longbing, to be honest, I really do want to be with you. But reality is what it is; I can’t change it. I hope we can both find happiness. I hope you too can be happy and stop dwelling on complicated things. Thinking too much about these matters only gives you a headache, doesn’t it? Besides, I feel I’ve already done a great deal, and I also want my daughter to be happy and joyful. And I’ll make sure you see that I won’t neglect our daughter."

"Because I will be very good to our daughter; you can rest assured and leave her in my care. Plus, you can always come to see her, take her out, and foster any interaction and bonding with her—that’s all fine with me; I agree to it. This way, you’ll also feel that sense of kinship. As for the issues between you two, I hope you resolve them on your own. Everything has its pros and cons, right?"

"What kind of happiness do you want to obtain, and what price are you willing to pay? Have you considered these questions? Moreover, I know the bond we’ve developed can’t be summarized in a few words, nor can it just be forgotten. But I hope the connection between us can evolve into a kind of familial friendship. That would be nice, don’t you think?"

"Because only this kind of familial sentiment can truly last forever, can genuinely continue indefinitely. I believe that’s something we can achieve between us, don’t you think? Besides, overthinking will only burden you unnecessarily and add to your pain. Why bother? I think we should sort out these emotional matters between us properly and avoid falling into suffering."

"Painful emotions only cause distress and lead to repeated tragedy! Yes, I believe if you’re with me, you’re not truly happy because you’re always under that pressure. That kind of pressure, constantly on your mind, will only make you suffer."

"I don’t want to see you in pain; I hope you can be a bit happier. I hope you can live truly happily in this world without worrying about difficulties or troubles. As for the pressure I might be causing you, you can simply let things take their natural course and resolve your difficulties, rather than carrying the burden I’ve placed on you. Don’t you think my approach is best?"

"I believe if we become good friends, it would genuinely be good for Candy—a positive development and a good idea. Moreover, there wouldn’t be this awkwardness anymore. Haven’t you considered how Candy will feel in the future when she learns that you are her biological father, yet you have your own family? What will she think then?"

"She might look down on you deep inside, you know?" Hua Xiaomo said, looking at Qi Longbing.
