Chapter 1299 - 1296: Am I Still That Foolish?
A few months ago, she deceived me with her appearances, fleeing once more just as our wedding was about to take place. In the end, my own softness led me to lose her completely. Thinking of these things, a flame of anger surged within me.
"You’re wrong. Do you think I’m still that foolish? That I have any thoughts about you? No, my feelings for you have long died. We are the past. And, my future is with Bai Wei." Qi Longbing said with apparent insincerity. He was determined to become one of their family so he could strike at each of their hearts, making Zi Yunsui and Hua Xiaomo pay for their actions.
The words seemed clear, yet Hua Xiaomo’s heart suddenly rose with a hint of unease. She didn’t know why; it was just a subconscious rejection. A woman’s sixth sense told her that letting Qi Longbing into the Bai Family would only pose a hidden danger.
Hua Xiaomo’s face fell, a dark green color rising to her cheeks.
"What will it take for you to leave Bai Wei? Just say it directly; there’s no one else here. If we can bear it, we’ll meet your demands." Hua Xiaomo said sternly. She was no longer concerned about how the other party would feel after hearing this. Her mind was firmly set on Zi Yunsui, and she absolutely could not let Qi Longbing become a hidden danger.
These words truly saddened Qi Longbing. He hadn’t expected Hua Xiaomo to speak to him in such a hateful and repellent manner. Why... what had he done to deserve such dislike?
"Heh heh..." Qi Longbing suddenly let out two cold chuckles, an invisible pain briefly crossed his blue eyes, and then he masked it without a trace, mockingly saying, "Is it another percentage of Ronghuang shares? Haha, you really are rich! You can buy anything; money truly is a good thing, being tirelessly exploited by your group." Having said that, Qi Longbing hummed twice coldly, his handsome face glinting with malice, stepping closer to her as he slowly said, "Since money can achieve anything, then I will offer 50% of the Qi Corporation’s assets for you and Zi Yunsui to divorce, are you willing?"
Uh...
His words shocked someone’s heart.
"..." Hua Xiaomo was left speechless with anger. She knew she came in vain this time. Her beautiful face turned pallid.
Meanwhile, the person downstairs had heard their conversation clearly. Knowing Qi Longbing’s intentions was indeed not simple. Zi Yunsui’s handsome face showed some color of annoyance, clenching one hand tightly.
"In that case, we have nothing to talk about." Hua Xiaomo immediately picked up her bag, preparing to leave. As she reached the door,
"Wait." A commanding voice stopped her in her tracks. Hua Xiaomo turned her face back in annoyance.
Qi Longbing looked at her subtly angry expression, and suddenly a feeling of exhilarating satisfaction surged within him.
"In the future... please don’t use your filthy thoughts and money to insult me. Understand?" Qi Longbing coldly replied. Then he turned his face away, no longer looking at her.
Hua Xiaomo said nothing, swiftly walking to the door, her hands pulling the leaf-shaped glass door, "Bang~" went the sound, her body flashed, and she quickly left Qi Longbing’s CEO office.
After Hua Xiaomo left, the large office was left with only Qi Longbing, now besieged by a nameless emptiness and loneliness that overwhelmed his heart. Unconsciously, he walked to the window, looking at the place where the white Mercedes SRL was parked.
That person, heh heh, seems to have heard everything, right? Such a shrewd Taiwanese spy, how could he possibly trust her to come up alone...
"Zi Yunsui ah Zi Yunsui, no matter how formidable you are, what can you do? What’s mine will always return to its rightful owner... heh heh... heh heh heh..." Qi Longbing thought as a shadow came over his face, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
...
Downstairs, Hua Xiaomo quickly left the Quarry Longyan Building, walked to the white Mercedes beside it, opened the passenger door without a word, and got in.
"Hua Xiaomo, are you angry?" Zi Yunsui asked gently. A warm hue floated on his handsome face.
"..." Hua Xiaomo didn’t respond, but inwardly, she felt uncomfortable.
"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let you go up. I already knew that bastard wouldn’t say anything good..." Zi Yunsui said, full of self-blame. His guilty expression was evident.
"No, it’s not your fault, Zi Yunsui. I’m so useless; I couldn’t persuade him, and I still don’t know what he really wants. Do you think he truly has good intentions for Weiwei?" Hua Xiaomo said slowly, her expression a bit dejected.
Zi Yunsui sighed softly, reaching over to gently hold her hand in his palm.
"Everyone’s happiness is in their own hands; cherishing it is difficult, but destroying it is easy." Zi Yunsui said softly, his handsome face relaxing bit by bit, continuing to speak quietly, "If Weiwei really can’t forget that person, and insists on tasting the fruits of bitterness, perhaps only after experiencing pain will she understand what true love is..."
Zi Yunsui’s words were somewhat placating, yet still filled with helplessness. They pierced Hua Xiaomo’s heart with pain.
"Zi Yunsui, won’t you be in pain like that?" Hua Xiaomo blurted out, directly addressing Zi Yunsui’s thoughts, then placed her other hand on his hand, smiling slightly, "No matter how difficult it is, I’ll be by your side."
Zi Yunsui turned his face, returning a gentle smile. Warm emotions overflowed the car interior, filled with a comforting warmth.
"Thank you, Hua Xiaomo, with you by my side, even if the sky falls down, it doesn’t seem so terrifying... haha..." Zi Yunsui spoke and naturally laughed.
"Uh... you’re talking nonsense again, how could the sky fall down? Han Si, alright, let’s drive, my stomach is protesting!" Hua Xiaomo playfully scolded, a rosy blush flying across her stunning visage.
"OK, my dear wife, what would you like to eat today?" Zi Yunsui displayed his signature smile, then pondered for a moment, adding, "How about Japanese food? I remember there’s a pretty good place..."
"Sure! When my husband recommends, I have to go, hehe!" Hua Xiaomo teased.
The car started, soon driving away from the enchanting Victoria Bay.
...
Three days later in the afternoon. Xingchen Fragrance Sea Villa Manor was as usual, nothing appeared different. Zi Yunsui instructed the household servants to keep a close eye on Bai Wei, preventing her from going out freely, aiming to cut off her thoughts. As for the child in her belly, he hadn’t yet decided whether to terminate it or... these matters required careful consideration.
As night fell, the sunset faded, City A was a scene of rainbow hues, lit with brilliant lights, dazzling the night.
