The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart

"I said..." Hua Xiaomo paused for a moment, with an inexplicable mist in the depths of her bright eyes. Finally, she mustered the courage and slowly said, "I want to move the wedding date forward." After speaking, she bit her inner lip, and there was a flickering unease on her beautiful cheeks.

This time, Qi Longbing heard her clearly, his blue eyes slightly narrowed, and his heart was full of heavy doubts.

"Why?" Qi Longbing asked. On the surface, he was very calm, without any waves, but heaven knows, deep down, his heart was overjoyed.

Upon hearing this question, Hua Xiaomo was full of worry. Her gaze suddenly broke away from his eyes.

"Can I not say the reason?" Hua Xiaomo replied indifferently. In her heart was boundless melancholy. If not for Zi Yunsui, she wouldn’t have...

Uh...

This answer truly leaves people speechless!

Qi Longbing’s handsome face was colored with deep thoughts, making countless guesses. Whatever her reason, it was a good thing for him! If she could marry him sooner, why not! But even a fool wouldn’t believe she was doing it out of love for him...

"Alright, then move it up by a month?" Qi Longbing asked.

Hua Xiaomo shook her head slightly.

"Two months earlier?" Qi Longbing asked again, sipping on a straw, his heart full of suspicion.

Hua Xiaomo’s big eyes sank, and she hardened her heart.

"Let’s get married in ten days, okay?" Hua Xiaomo slowly suggested, looking straight at her counterpart with her big eyes.

Suddenly.

Qi Longbing finished the last drop of milk, placed the box on the coffee table, and stood up. His handsome face was unreadable, showing no clue as to what he was thinking.

Qi Longbing didn’t reply, which made Hua Xiaomo a little anxious.

"Do you disagree? If you disagree, then..." Hua Xiaomo said somewhat helplessly. She didn’t know what to do if Zi Yunsui came back before then, everything would be too late, she really didn’t want to see him give up everything for her... Yet, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted.

"How could I disagree? Haha, Hua Xiaomo, you wanting to marry me sooner makes me so happy, how could I disagree?" Qi Longbing said thoughtfully as he walked toward her.

At this moment, Hua Xiaomo also stood up, as if a stone had fallen from her heart.

"Alright. That’s all I wanted to say, nothing else. I’m going back to my room." Hua Xiaomo said indifferently and, not waiting for Qi Longbing to respond, started walking toward the door absently.

"Wait a minute." Qi Longbing called out. Watching her retreating figure, there was a mysterious sense of frustration in his heart.

Hua Xiaomo stopped, almost stepping outside the threshold, and turned slightly. She didn’t look at him but could already feel him gradually approaching. He stopped a step away from her and slowly reached out a hand toward her. As soon as he touched her shoulder, he visibly felt her body tremble slightly, and then, Hua Xiaomo sensitively took a step back.

"Sorry, it’s late. I should go!" Hua Xiaomo’s low voice, and her face was shadowed with an unresolved grief. After saying this, she hurriedly retreated to her room.

"Bang~~" She slammed the door shut, accompanied by the heavy sound of the door closing. Hua Xiaomo was overwhelmed with pain; her heart ached and she couldn’t stop her tears from falling.

Hua Xiaomo leaned against the door, crying silently. Exhausted, she slid down the door, sitting on the floor. Her beautiful face was frightfully pale, the brightness in her eyes lost, no color, no light, a somber, dreary void... Inadvertently wrapped in bitter remorse... At this moment, it was simply unbearable, utterly hopeless!!! Even longing to die!!!!

"Knock, knock, knock..." A series of knocks came from outside the door.

Hua Xiaomo quickly wiped away the tears from her face.

"Hua Xiaomo, Hua Xiaomo, are you alright?" Qi Longbing asked worriedly from outside the door.

Hua Xiaomo sniffled a bit and slowly stood up.

"...I’m fine, I’ve already gone to bed." Hua Xiaomo replied. Then she quietly walked to the bedside, collapsed heavily onto the bed, and didn’t want to open her eyes again.

Qi Longbing stood at the door for a while, his handsome face clouded with confusion, then turned around and walked back to his room.

...

In the days that followed, everything went on as usual, "Tilian Xinyuan" showed no special movements, time flew by, and the wedding day ten days later loomed closer and closer. As per Hua Xiaomo’s wishes, Qi Longbing had this world-famous wedding set in City C District, the place where she was born and raised, fulfilling her wish in the most fitting way.

Standing on the terrace, looking at the breathtaking view in the distance, the eyes are filled with endless beaches, feeling the breeze with a fresh salty tang, even one’s spirit feels refreshed.

Qi Longbing accompanied Hua Xiaomo, sitting on the terrace, a cool couple enjoying the view and feeling the sea breeze, relishing this fleeting romantic moment. Qi Longbing’s handsome face beamed with a dazzling smile; he could finally fulfill his desire, and soon she would be his wife! Tomorrow, just tomorrow, they would be united under the priest’s blessing, unwavering till death, staying together till old age!

"Hua Xiaomo, after tomorrow’s wedding, shall I take you back to America?" Qi Longbing’s gentle voice carried over.

Hua Xiaomo didn’t answer right away, she was silent for a while, her eyes revealing a sense of confusion.

Seeing her like this, Qi Longbing knelt down beside her, tenderly holding her slender fingers, gazing deeply into her beautiful face. He saw the melancholy on her face, so much that it made his heart ache with pity.

"I swear, I will treat you well in the future, not letting you suffer a bit, Hua Xiaomo, believe in me, okay?" Qi Longbing pleaded earnestly, brushing his hand over her cheek.

His touch still made her a bit uncomfortable, she turned her cheek away, refusing to answer him.

Qi Longbing felt a bit of frustration in his heart, and a tinge of reluctance, seeing her sad, didn’t she know it made him sad too?

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t force you, but I truly love you, Hua Xiaomo, I’ve raised you since you were small, I... I don’t want to let you go... really don’t want to..." Qi Longbing got to this point, and couldn’t continue, no matter the deep affection, he didn’t want to betray his heart, even if she wasn’t happy, wasn’t joyful... yet, she still stayed by his side as he wished, which was enough!

"..." Hua Xiaomo said nothing; what could she say at this moment, the wedding is imminent, everything is set in stone, unavoidable fate, pitiful and lamentable!

Finally.

"I know..." Hua Xiaomo replied with three words, with a faint trace of sorrow on her beautiful face.

Her words made his heart ache; Qi Longbing gazed at her, once again reaching out to touch her cheek, and this time Hua Xiaomo did not refuse.
