But the truth was, he constantly longed to acknowledge his relationship with them. He genuinely adored Candy and Hua Xiaomo and loved spending ti with the mother and daughter. Only then could he experience the joy of a family of three, the happiness such a family deserved. Yes, no matter what, he would strive to achieve this happiness.
Candy looked at her mom, blinking in confusion. She didn’t quite understand what her mom was saying, but she felt she should respond. "Mom, I really miss Dad. I don’t know where he is. But, Mom, where exactly is Dad?"
Candy’s words left Hua Xiaomo sowhat speechless, and she couldn’t help but look towards Qi Longbing beside her.
A pang of sorrow struck Qi Longbing’s heart. He imdiately swept Candy into his arms, drew close to her ear, and whispered softly, "How about Uncle becos your dad, okay? Uncle really wants to be your dad. Little Candy, will you say that you want Uncle to be your dad?"
In that mont, Candy felt Qi Longbing’s incredibly warm presence. And Qi Longbing’s warmth made her feel imnsely happy because she knew he genuinely liked her. Candy could truly feel this joy, and Uncle Qi Longbing was indeed very good to her. He had bought her lots and lots of toys, accompanied her to movies, taken her to amusent parks, the zoo, and the marine park. All this happiness was given to her by Uncle Long Bin; she really liked him, really missed him.
Alright, just now he had said he wanted to be her father. Well, now she could tell him loudly that she truly wanted him to be her dad. This was just one of her own wishes, and she never expected Qi Longbing to share the sa thought! Goodness, she felt so touched, so excited, she could hardly control herself. She felt as if she was about to possess the greatest happiness in the world.
"Uncle, Uncle, I like you so much! Please be my dad! I really, really like you. Actually, I’ve even dread about how great it would be if you could be my dad. I’m so happy! Uncle, you wouldn’t lie to , would you?"
"You’re not tricking now, are you? I believe you’re telling the truth. Besides, adults shouldn’t lie to children; adults who lie get long noses. So, I think Uncle is definitely not lying, right? I believe Uncle is telling the truth, right? You really want to be my dad, right?" Candy exclaid.
Candy gazed at Qi Longbing, her eyes wide.
At that mont, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she didn’t know why her heart was pounding with excitent. It felt as if a huge wish was about to co true. That wish was that she could now have this very, very kind uncle be her dad. She was truly overjoyed, filled with an imnse sense of happiness and bliss.
Qi Longbing was deeply moved. He desperately wanted to tell the child that he was, in fact, her biological father, not just so uncle. But the child probably wouldn’t understand yet; she likely just saw him as a kind of substitute father, soone stepping in to be her dad. It felt rather ironic, yet also sowhat helpless.
"How could I lie to you? Of course, Uncle is willing to be your dad. I truly, truly want to be your dad. And you’re so well-behaved, so obedient. Having you as a daughter makes Uncle feel so incredibly happy. Uncle feels imnse joy and thinks you’re very obedient, well-behaved, and filial. That’s why Uncle likes you so, so much."
"I hope you can also bring Uncle more joy, okay? My Little Candy, Uncle really likes you. And you have to listen to your mom; she really likes you. She even said that if the person who likes you becos your dad, he will dote on you even more. Uncle will love you more, and Uncle will care for you more, okay, Little Candy? Are you happy? Are you joyful? Are you blessed? Aren’t you pleased to have Uncle as your dad?"
Qi Longbing said this, looking at Little Candy, and indeed, he was truly very happy in his heart. Because his daughter could finally call him ’Dad’, and he truly yearned to be her father. Well, he actually was her biological father, but Little Candy didn’t know that yet. One day, he would tell her; he would tell her everything.
Candy sweetly threw herself into Qi Longbing’s arms, looking up at him coquettishly. "Haha, that’s wonderful! That’s so great! I have a daddy now! I have a dad! And my dad is so handso! I really like this daddy! Mommy, look, Daddy is so handso! Isn’t Daddy really handso? Mommy, do you like Daddy? Daddy is really good-looking, isn’t he? I love having a dad like him! When I grow up, I’ll marry Daddy!"
Candy’s words made Hua Xiaomo and Qi Longbing burst out laughing. But in that mont, Hua Xiaomo stroked Little Candy’s head and said, "Little Candy, how can you marry Daddy?"
"Little Candy, you should marry a friend your own age. When you and your peers grow up, you can get married. But first, you need to get good grades. Good grades will lead to better prospects. With good prospects, you’ll be smart and happy, and more boys will pursue you."
"So, Little Candy, you should focus on your studies now. No more playing with toys all the ti, and no more going to amusent parks or the zoo, okay? You need to spend your important ti on studying, alright?"
"And you don’t need to be afraid that studying will be difficult. Mommy and Uncle—haha, he’s your daddy now—will definitely help you focus on your studies. And you can’t disappoint Mommy and Daddy, right? Little Candy, you truly are the best; you’re the very, very best child. Mommy will always be proud of you. Mommy really loves you and can’t be without you. You are the most wonderful, most wonderful child."
"Mommy really loves you, so you have to be Mommy’s most wonderful, most wonderful child, okay? So you shouldn’t say things like that anymore, and you can’t disappoint Daddy either. Right, how about we go watch a movie now?" Hua Xiaomo said all this in a rush, looking at her daughter, her eyes crinkling with mirth. A bright sparkle shone in her amber eyes.
