"Rest assured, I will continue our collaboration. Regarding the timing of when to bring this agenda forward, I will give it so thought, Hua Xiaomo. I hope you can have a little faith in , all right? I also hope that you understand that I want to be the only one in your heart," Qi Longbing said, rising from his seat and walking over to stand beside her, his hands resting on her shoulders.
But in an instant, Hua Xiaomo stepped away, distancing herself slightly. A faint smile crept into her heart, one that seed mocking. What right did he have to make such demands? Could her heart only hold room for him?
Yet, he must not forget that he himself was married and had a wife waiting for him back in City A. And here he was, not only failing to return but staying on in City B to manage her life? Did her life need him to worry about it?
No, it didn’t. It never had. Since it hadn’t been necessary in the past, it was even less so now.
She and her daughter Candy were really doing fine. As long as she had her daughter Candy, she was content. However, Candy liked Zi Yunsui. Once Zi Yunsui woke up, she would go with him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage, followed by a simple wedding. That was the life she wanted—very simple, not complicated at all.
But it seed the man in front of her just couldn’t let her have her way. She didn’t understand him; he just didn’t seem to get it. It was as if she’d offended him sohow, and now he was determined to make things difficult for her at every turn.
"Xiao Mo, what’s wrong with you? Don’t forget the contract that exists between us." Qi Longbing’s face suddenly fell. As he looked at her expression, which seed cold, he wondered, Is she laughing at , mocking ?
Mocking for still being married, for having no right to pursue her. But I will prove it to her. I will prove everything. I will completely escape this marriage and then regain the right to pursue her.
"I haven’t forgotten our contract, but I also rember very clearly that our relationship is just that of secret lovers. President Qi, your overt pursuit makes feel very embarrassed. Unless it’s for work, I hope we can avoid eting during the day, alright?" Hua Xiaomo said quickly, avoiding his gaze. She feared she couldn’t harden her heart, but she knew that only by hardening her heart would it be better for both of them.
There was also sothing else she had to make clear to him, but his office was clearly not the place for such a discussion right now.
"So, we et in the evening, then? Let’s et at the Rose Restaurant tonight. You must co; I’ll be waiting for you," Qi Longbing said, not waiting for a response before quickly opening the door and walking out.
Watching his receding figure, Hua Xiaomo felt a mont of bewildernt. But as she looked at the ring in her hand, a heavy feeling slowly settled upon her.
Zi Yunsui, you must wake up soon. Hua Xiaomo thought of how long it had been since she’d visited him. But I’m so busy now; I have no ti. However, I’ve never forgotten my promise to him, and I intend to keep it.
「In the evening, she went to the Rose Restaurant where Qi Longbing was.」
In the Rose Restaurant, after the two had dinner, they went up to a private room.
Upon entering the room, Qi Longbing eagerly pulled her into his embrace.
"Don’t do this, Qi Longbing," Hua Xiaomo said hesitantly, gently pushing against his chest with her hand.
But Qi Longbing quickly gripped her wrist, pinned it against the wall, then pressed his body down, trapping her between himself and the wall.
Then a passionate kiss descended, landing on the corner of her lips.
Hua Xiaomo was sowhat evasive, but she had no way to refuse his kiss. She could only let him kiss her, gradually losing herself in the process.
Qi Longbing’s hands road frantically over her body. The fire inside him grew larger and larger until he could no longer control it. He embraced her, and they both collapsed to the ground.
After he entered her, he sensed her trembling and fear, but under his lead, her fears gradually dissipated.
What took their place was a sense of attachnt.
An unknown amount of ti passed before the passion eventually subsided. Qi Longbing looked at the beauty in his arms and chuckled lightly.
"Do you still rember saying you loved just now?" Qi Longbing asked with a smile.
Hua Xiaomo glanced at him, her eyes slightly furrowing. But could words spoken in the throes of passion be taken seriously?
She wasn’t sure, truly unsure. Deep down, all she knew was that when he held her, she simply couldn’t refuse, as if she were fated to submit to him. This was indeed an inescapable fate.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Or do you want to deny sothing? That phrase was so clear, I’ve heard it so often my ears are practically calloused. Xiao Mo, won’t you admit that you love ?" Qi Longbing said, and with that, he supported her face with one hand and kissed her deeply once more.
Hua Xiaomo looked at him, unable to reject this intensity. She gradually lost herself again, gradually overco by his forceful affection, until the passion flared once more before finally dying down.
Hua Xiaomo looked at Qi Longbing, leaning in his embrace. A thought occurred to her, and she asked, "I heard from Qi Lingfeng that you’re getting a divorce from Miss Pan."
Qi Longbing, with one hand on her bare shoulder, slowly replied, "You’re well-inford. Yes, indeed, I am divorcing her."
"Why? Weren’t you two doing well? Why do you need to get a divorce? But if it’s because of , I don’t think there’s any need for you to do this, President Qi. Right now, we are rely within the tifra of our contract. During this ti, I will do what I need to do. As for you, I hope you won’t take it too seriously."
Despite how hurtful so words might be, she had to tell him, lest he regret it later. A divorce could seriously jeopardize the series of collaborations between Qi Imperial Court and Warner World, potentially leading to huge compensation losses, which would definitely be detrintal to Qi Imperial Court.
Hearing this, Qi Longbing’s brow furrowed deeply. He looked at the woman in his arms and suddenly felt that she was like a heartless person.
Gently, he pushed her away, his hand moving with force as he suddenly grasped her.
"Stop, stop!" Hua Xiaomo cried out in pain, and he caught her hand in his.
"You’re the mother of my child, and yet you’re saying these things to ? I really didn’t expect this. Do you have a conscience? How have I, Qi Longbing, treated you? Have you ever put first in your heart?"
