The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 777 - 774: Becoming Qi Longbing’s Lover

Being with him brought great pressure not only to me but also to Candy. His classmates and their parents must be gossiping about Candy behind our backs, wouldn’t they? Even if the parents didn’t say anything, the teachers might discuss it occasionally. This would significantly impact a child’s development. I didn’t want that. I didn’t want Qi Longbing to make my Candy feel embarrassed, nor myself.

I could endure it, but how could little Candy bear such a thing? Her self-esteem would be hurt; it would be a considerable blow for her. As for myself, I could barely pretend not to hear anything, play deaf and dumb, and let it pass. That part didn’t really matter.

But now, with a child involved, I had to consider her feelings, especially during her formative years. She was so young. What would she think when she grew up and discovered that he and I weren’t married but were simply cohabitating? That I had become Qi Longbing’s lover while he was married and had a family? What kind of thoughts would that leave Candy with? Would she look down on me? Despise me? I found all of this intolerable.

No matter what, I felt it would be better for us to maintain a certain distance from Qi Longbing until he sorted out his marital status. After all, regardless of the circumstances, if there was no genuine sincerity from his side, I knew he would never go through with a divorce. Yes, divorce requires a definitive stance. Whatever that stance might be, however one thinks about it or whatever one does, a process is always necessary.

"Qi Longbing, I didn’t mean to blame you. You misunderstood me," Hua Xiaomo said. "I just want you to take care of your own issues. As for me, I know very well when to do what. Furthermore, if you can’t resolve your own problems, then you don’t need to worry excessively about Candy.

"Because I will take care of my child. Candy is my daughter, after all, isn’t she? Besides, some things are clear to everyone. I don’t want to say any more about how certain matters should be handled. In the past, you were very good to Candy and to me. You took excellent care of us both.

"That feeling was indeed wonderful and unforgettable. However, how to maintain that state and continue this relationship is something you really need to consider thoroughly.

"Candy and I both deeply desire a family. You should understand that. This time, I hope you’re not just paying lip service and stringing us along. Show us some real action. If you can truly get your act together, I believe you and Candy can definitely be together.

"But for that to happen, you would need to get a divorce, wouldn’t you? I’ve said enough. When will you be able to divorce Pan Yutong? And those contracts you mentioned—when will they end? These are the primary obstacles preventing our marriage from moving forward.

"Don’t you think so? I’ve said that our marriage—a life with you—is something I truly want. But because of these special circumstances, I can’t continue like this anymore. Do you understand?

"It truly pains me; I’ve been unhappy for a very long time. I don’t know how you feel. Perhaps you think I’m being inconsiderate, or that my views are too stubborn. But for a woman, these feelings are normal.

"And you, for us, represent the ultimate person to rely on. But how can we achieve that ultimate goal? How can you become that eternal person for us? I think you really need to reflect on this seriously."

Hua Xiaomo had said so much to him, and her heart felt heavy in that moment. She truly didn’t want to treat Qi Longbing this way.

But now that she was with Zi Yunsui, she felt a pressing need to sort out her feelings. If she truly wanted to be with Zi Yunsui, she couldn’t continue her involvement with Qi Longbing. It was this kind of clarity that gave a woman a reason to move forward.

Indeed, she couldn’t love two men; she could only love one. Since she had decided to accept Zi Yunsui and let him interact with Candy, she couldn’t remain with Qi Longbing.

She felt that would be unfair to Qi Longbing. Besides, given his current status and circumstances, perhaps even if he did divorce, he could find someone more suitable for him in the future.

Regardless of the situation, she felt she needed to figure out what to do with her life and not remain stuck in limbo forever. That wasn’t her style.

She always approached things with a plan and a goal. If a goal couldn’t be reached after a long time, she would question whether the direction she had set for that goal was correct. If the direction itself was wrong, how could the goal ever be achieved?

So, she was a planner. If a plan couldn’t be completed, she would rather change the strategy than continue blindly. She would then find another path to reach her ultimate objective.

Yes, all she and Candy needed was a family. If Qi Longbing couldn’t provide that for them, why should she keep clinging to him? She would choose someone else to achieve this goal. Naturally, the most suitable person was Zi Yunsui.

Zi Yunsui was undoubtedly the man she trusted most. He was her general manager, and compared to anyone else, he possessed this distinct advantage. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Moreover, they got along very well. As business partners, they had both worked tirelessly for the company since its inception. Now that the company had achieved a certain level of success, they both felt extremely gratified.

She was especially grateful that Zi Yunsui had given her the position of chairman. While she was the boss of a large company, the truth was, she couldn’t manage without Zi Yunsui.
