Qi Longbing looked at Hua Xiaomo, his handso face practically glowing. "So now I can’t even pick up my kid?" he asked. "It’s not the first ti I’ve gone to Candy’s school; I’ve been there several tis. Why can’t I pick her up after school? You can’t possibly be stopping from picking up my daughter just because I haven’t acknowledged Candy yet, can you?"
"Candy is my daughter! I have the right to pick her up from school; you can’t deprive of that right. Otherwise, I’ll get angry, you know? You really have to tell Candy that her father is a good person and not say anything bad about , okay?"
Hua Xiaomo looked at Qi Longbing, feeling utterly tornted by him at that mont. It seed that if she didn’t let him pick up Candy, he would surely keep going on about it. Fine, she’d let him go. Anyway, as long as he just stayed in the car and didn’t get out when the ti ca, it would be fine.
"Then you can co with to pick her up," Hua Xiaomo conceded. "I’ll go into the kindergarten to get Candy, and you can just wait in the car. That’s my absolute bottom line, Qi Longbing. Stop trying to bargain; you know your identity is sensitive right now."
She continued, "If you keep showing up at the school, who knows what the other parents and teachers will say? It might not be good for Candy’s developnt. So, it’s better for you to keep a low profile and try to avoid the school as much as possible."
At that mont, all she really wanted was for Qi Longbing to go back to his hotel.
After all, Candy would surely mind, since she didn’t even know Qi Longbing was her father.
If Candy found out Qi Longbing was her father, Hua Xiaomo wasn’t sure how Candy would react, so it was better not to be too sudden about it.
Things needed to progress step by step, didn’t they?
Hearing this, Qi Longbing didn’t know what to say. He looked at Hua Xiaomo, smiled, and said, "Okay then. I am indeed a bit tired right now, Hua Xiaomo. You should get back to work. I won’t disturb you any longer; I’ll head to the hotel. Oh, and I don’t need Xiao Qing to accompany ."
"I’ll stay at the Rose Hotel, just like before. I’ll co to pick you up when you get off work, okay? That way, we can go pick up our child together. It’s been a long ti since I’ve seen her. Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say; I won’t get out of the car. I’ll just stay put and watch you bring Candy out. Then, our family can go out to eat, and after dinner, we’ll go see a movie. How does that sound?"
Hua Xiaomo smiled. Qi Longbing really had beco much more agreeable. She wished he could always be like this, always listening to her.
"Alright, that’s settled then," she said. "Oh, and if you’re hungry, you can get sothing to eat at the hotel. You must be hungry after such a long flight, and the food on the plane isn’t great anyway. You didn’t eat anything on the plane, did you?" Hua Xiaomo asked, looking at Qi Longbing, who indeed looked sowhat weary.
Well, after all, one should at least eat so breakfast when taking a flight, shouldn’t they?
"Haha, you got that right! Let tell you, I boarded the plane at eight o’clock this morning, rushed over here on a flight that took more than two hours, and I haven’t eaten a thing. To be honest, I am a little hungry. Can you join for so breakfast?" Qi Longbing said, gazing into Hua Xiaomo’s eyes without blinking, finding her incredibly cute.
Haha, he knew she cared about him the most. She definitely couldn’t bear to let him go hungry.
Just as he’d expected, Hua Xiaomo looked at Qi Longbing with a helpless smile. She glanced towards the door and, after a mont, said, "Fine, let’s go, my esteed CEO. You’re being treated like a rare treasure now. If you starve, you won’t be able to accompany Candy and to the movies or dinner!"
"And how could you skip breakfast? Flying on an empty stomach can give you motion sickness, you know? Oh, no, I an airsickness. Right, were you airsick at all? Probably not, since you look fine."
Qi Longbing laughed at Hua Xiaomo’s words, then shook his head. "No, not at all. Look how fit I am; how could I get airsick? Don’t worry, I definitely don’t get airsick. I might be a little hungry, but it’s not too bad. Hua Xiaomo, why don’t you co eat sothing with ? I bet you haven’t eaten anything this morning either, right? If I’m correct, you probably haven’t eaten anything."
"Ah, you guessed right. I really didn’t eat anything. Now that you ntion it, I’m feeling hungry too. Alright, Qi Longbing, let’s go get sothing to eat," Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, glancing at him, her lips curling into a faint smile.
Qi Longbing shook his head at Hua Xiaomo. "See? You’re such a workaholic. How can you skip als like that? Let tell you, you have to eat. No matter what, your health cos first, you know? And if your body gives out, how will you work? How will you take care of our child?"
"I know you’re under a lot of pressure, having to work while taking care of a child. I’m genuinely worried your body won’t be able to take it. Anyway, you have to co eat sothing with . And from now on, no more attending etings on an empty stomach! What if you suddenly fainted in the conference room? Wouldn’t that make everyone in the company worry about you? That would be very irresponsible, you know? Besides, you’re the Chairwoman; you can’t afford such an embarrassing incident. Alright, the most important thing is, you must eat before etings, understand? I’m reminding you again."
"If you still don’t rember, then I’ll just have to co and remind you every single day until you listen, until you make it a habit to eat breakfast before coming to work. Understand?"
Qi Longbing had said a lot, but his main intention was to get Hua Xiaomo to prioritize her health, so she could better care for herself and their child.
Yes, the child was indeed the most important. No matter what, Hua Xiaomo had to have the energy to take care of their child first, and then work.
The child was what mattered most, and in his heart, Candy was now his number one priority.
