"You, , and our daughter will be truly happy. We’ll always be together, and I’ll protect you both, ensuring no harm cos your way," Qi Longbing said earnestly, his eyes at that mont filled only with her and their daughter, Candy.
Indeed, his deepest love was for Hua Xiaomo and their daughter, Candy. He felt he should treat them even better and would give them the best things in the world. So, he could never allow anyone to bully his Candy or his woman, Hua Xiaomo.
"That’s certainly a wonderful wish, and I hope it cos true soon too. For now, perhaps we shouldn’t dwell on these things? Oh, you must be tired after your morning flight. How about I have my secretary, Xiao Qing, take you out for a bit, or drop you off at your hotel to rest?" Hua Xiaomo said, a faint, cunning thought stirring in her heart.
Qi Longbing was startled, then quickly replied, "Huh? Why? No way! Why should I go rest at a hotel? I don’t want to rest at a hotel; I haven’t even booked one! Right, I canceled all my hotel bookings here. I really didn’t book any, so where do you expect to rest?"
Hua Xiaomo replied, feigning ignorance, "Qi Longbing, if you haven’t booked a hotel, you can book one now. Why don’t I get Xiao Qing to book one for you right now? That way, you can go straight to the hotel to rest, okay?"
Qi Longbing smiled and shook his head. Looking at Hua Xiaomo, he truly didn’t know if she was teasing him or what. They were a family, after all, so why insist on him staying in a hotel? He really wasn’t accustod to that, and he truly didn’t want to stay in a hotel!
Back in B City, all he wanted was to be with his daughter and Hua Xiaomo. He’d long considered Hua Xiaomo’s ho his own, so of course, he would head there straight from the airport. Why go to a hotel? It was all very strange.
Seeing Qi Longbing, Hua Xiaomo’s eyes glead with a peculiar light. For a mont, she didn’t know what to do. There were things she truly wanted to tell him, but now wasn’t the ti. Still, she wondered if he would agree if she advised him against staying at her house.
Well, whether he agreed or not, she wasn’t going to let him stay at her ho. After all, in Candy’s eyes, he was just an uncle, not her father.
"Qi Longbing, you wouldn’t be thinking of going straight to my villa to rest, would you? That’s out of the question! Let be clear: my villa is just a ho for Candy and . There’s no room for anyone else. If you were to barge in suddenly, it would make us feel very uncomfortable," Hua Xiaomo said promptly.
A slight unease settled in her heart. To be honest, she wasn’t used to this situation at all. She didn’t want to be labeled a howrecker. So, for the sake of their future happiness, enduring this for now was necessary. Moreover, it was crucial that Candy didn’t misunderstand their relationship. After all, Qi Longbing was still a married man with a family.
He simply wasn’t in a position to be with her and Candy; it would only lead to ridicule. If others were to laugh, what would they say behind their backs? How could she and her daughter face anyone then? That was absolutely unacceptable!
"Xiao Mo, shouldn’t I live with you? Aren’t I part of your family? Aren’t you my wife? And Candy is my daughter!" Qi Longbing said, his eyes shining with an intense light as he looked at Hua Xiaomo.
He felt truly awkward. He didn’t want to stay anywhere else. He’d always believed that upon his return, he should be with Hua Xiaomo and Candy.
He had long considered Hua Xiaomo’s ho his own. His child was there—how could he bear to keep himself from her? He loved his child dearly; he was desperate to see Candy.
"You really can’t stay with us, Qi Longbing. Besides, you haven’t divorced yet, and I’m not your wife. Don’t call your wife. If my colleagues heard, they’d misunderstand," Hua Xiaomo said quickly to Qi Longbing.
Feeling a bit awkward, she had to admit, she wasn’t willing to be anyone’s mistress.
Especially since Qi Longbing hadn’t yet resolved his own marital situation, what right did he have to call her his wife? It felt deeply uncomfortable and awkward.
No matter what, she wouldn’t be his mistress.
Alright then. From this mont on, a new resolve ford within her. She believed she deserved a clear and proper status, not to be with this man as the ’other woman.’ That felt so wrong, so profoundly uncomfortable.
No matter what, now that Qi Longbing was back, he could stay in a hotel. But he definitely couldn’t live with them or move into her villa. If he did, people would talk!
And who knew how awful the gossip would be? She couldn’t bear to listen to it. Therefore, for her daughter’s future, she was determined not to let Qi Longbing move in with them.
Qi Longbing didn’t know what to say. Looking at Hua Xiaomo, he felt a pang of pain.
"Xiao Mo, you’re being too cruel to . I really like you, and I love our daughter, Candy. How can you treat like this? You can’t do this to ."
"I really want to go back to our ho, sit down with the three of us for a al, watch a movie together, play together. Isn’t that normal? I want to live in our ho and enjoy the joys of family life. Xiao Mo, don’t be so cruel to , okay? Can you let co back to our house?"
"I’m really a bit sleepy now. I want to go back to our villa and get a good sleep. Then, I can wait for you to finish work. Yes, that’s what I’ll do. I can even pick up Candy for you. I’ll give her a surprise; Candy will be thrilled to see ," Qi Longbing said, his handso face radiant.
But Hua Xiaomo’s face darkened upon hearing this, and for a while, she didn’t speak. Her amber eyes glinted with a dark light.
