Hua Xiaomo looked at her life with so embarrassnt. After a while, she said, "The clothes Qi Longbing bought for this ti—I didn’t ask him to buy them. He insisted, so I had no choice."
Qi Lingfeng was startled. Indeed, Qi Longbing always thought of everything beforehand. It seed his brother truly cared for Xiao Mo. How enviable!
He looked at the shopping bags. She’ll definitely like them, he thought. Although I don’t really have the right to give her extra things anymore, I really hope she accepts these gifts.
"Alright, just this once. It won’t be a precedent. I’ll take these things," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile. She didn’t discuss money with him; it truly wasn’t necessary. Qi Lingfeng had known her for a very long ti. They weren’t just friends; one could say they also had a kind of master-disciple relationship, albeit one that had never been formalized.
Indeed, since she was a young girl, he had taught her so many things.
Back then, they had even gone robbing together, and Hua Xiaomo had even been the Divine Thief for a period! They obtained many things, though at that ti, Qi Lingfeng was also feuding with his family.
I didn’t know the details back then, but thankfully, Qi Lingfeng eventually returned to the Qi Family, and his life is quite good now. I’ve also returned to a normal path, and everything is progressing properly.
"Okay, I’ll take these things. But don’t tell Yuan Youya when you go back; I’m afraid she might overthink things," Hua Xiaomo instructed.
Qi Lingfeng laughed. "Don’t worry, am I that foolish? Yuan Youya is my wife; I wouldn’t tell her I’ve given another woman gifts."
His words sounded very ambiguous, making Hua Xiaomo slightly uncomfortable. However, she just chuckled, because she knew there was nothing romantic between her and Qi Lingfeng. They had a very pure friendship, perhaps even a familial bond. No matter what, their feelings wouldn’t change into sothing else.
She understood him, and he understood her very well. They shared a deep bond, but it wasn’t love. This bond had elevated to a feeling like that between ’besties.’ Alright, if one were to speak of ’besties,’ then her first male bestie would probably be Qi Lingfeng.
"Alright! I still have unfinished work, so I’ll head back to the office. And you? Where are you planning to go? Need a ride?" Hua Xiaomo asked breezily, her eyes shining brightly.
"No need, I can get myself to the airport," Qi Lingfeng said with a smile. He then looked at Hua Xiaomo but didn’t say anything more. He quickly hailed a taxi, got in, and as the car started, he disappeared from her view.
Hua Xiaomo watched Qi Lingfeng recede into the distance, a trace of heaviness in her eyes. She knew he was returning on behalf of Qi Longbing to discuss the divorce with Pan Yutong.
I wonder if Pan Yutong will agree to divorce Qi Longbing. I’m also waiting for that result.
At nightfall, after finishing work, Hua Xiaomo returned ho.
That night, she went to bed very late and slept very soundly. It was also a weekend, the day Candy was due back. After making dinner for Candy and ensuring she was sleeping soundly at ho, Hua Xiaomo returned to her own room.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
A servant hurried to open the door and was surprised to find Qi Longbing standing there.
The servant imdiately ran to Hua Xiaomo’s room and told her, "Miss Hua, Mr. Qi is here."
Hua Xiaomo was startled. How could Qi Longbing be here? How could he just show up at my ho in the middle of the night?
Hua Xiaomo hurried to the door and, sure enough, saw Qi Longbing standing there. Moreover, he was holding a large bouquet of roses, looking exceptionally romantic.
"These are for you. Happy evening," Qi Longbing said with a smile.
"What are you doing? How can you just show up at my house? Candy’s ho!" Hua Xiaomo said, her face paling a little as she looked at Qi Longbing. However, the large bouquet of roses he held was quite comforting. Perhaps it’s just because won naturally love roses!
"Oh, really? Our daughter’s ho? That’s great she’s here! I’m her father, you know! I want to go up and see her too," Qi Longbing said, preparing to step inside.
"You can’t co in! What exactly do you want? Maybe we should talk outside," Hua Xiaomo said, feeling a little nervous.
Qi Longbing smiled at her, and without waiting for her to say anything more, stepped forward and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Xiao Mo, why so nervous? I just ca to see you and our daughter. Besides, this is your ho, so it’s my ho too. How could you have the heart to leave outside to stay in a hotel?" Qi Longbing chuckled, then made to enter.
Hua Xiaomo looked at Qi Longbing, feeling a headache coming on. This is clearly *my* ho, okay? Since when did it beco *his*?
"Qi Longbing, please don’t be like this, okay? Candy really is ho. You’ll wake her up," Hua Xiaomo said.
"Then let go to your room. We can talk in your room," Qi Longbing said, looking directly at Hua Xiaomo with a gentle smile on his handso face.
Her intuition told her he just wanted to be with her. Because he truly had this feeling—he couldn’t be without her—and that was why he had co to find her tonight.
Hua Xiaomo looked at him. If I just refuse him, he might actually wake Candy, she thought, so she could only nod. "Alright then, co upstairs with ."
Hua Xiaomo led Qi Longbing upstairs to her room.
"Just say what you want to say!"
Qi Longbing smiled, boldly stepped closer, and quickly put his arm around her shoulders. "Silly girl, you still don’t get it? I just want to stay here tonight."
"Ah? What? You want to stay here tonight? No! No, you can’t! Candy’s here! Qi Longbing, please don’t be like this, okay?" Hua Xiaomo refused. She really couldn’t let this man stay. This was her ho, after all! He should be staying in a hotel, not here.
If Candy finds out Qi Longbing stayed the night, what would happen? How would my daughter see then? Absolutely not! That’s completely out of the question!
