Chapter 323: Shaohua’s Tears
The pain left him struggling to breath. “T-there’s no way…”
Fang Xinxin was flustered. She glared at Bai Qinghao in embarrassment. “Why would you bring that up?”
Her response confirmed Bai Qinghao’s words.
Bai Qinghao glanced at Fang Shaohua’s expression of heartbreak. His heart turned heavy.
He was more than familiar with such heartbreaking despair.
Back when Fang Xinxin had eloped with Bai Chenxi to betray him, he had been heartbroken and angered to the point where he wanted to destroy the entire world!
However, he slowly started to trust, based on Xinxin’s words and actions, that she did not have any room for Bai Chenxi in her heart. The incident was a misunderstanding.
Fang Shaohua’s response clearly seemed like that of a man who had just lost the love of his life.
Very good, Fang Shaohua, you sure hid it well!
For years, even Bai Qinghao did not manage to see through him clearly. All he had were suspicions.
Now that Bai Qinghao had confirmed Fang Shaohua’s feelings for Xinxin, a hint of mockery appeared in his gaze. He was very satisfied with Fang Xinxin for openly admitting that she was his. His frozen heart instantly warmed up. “Fang Shaohua, did you hear that clearly?”
Fang Shaohua concealed the hurt in his gaze and appeared unfazed as he responded. “For most couples these days, it’s normal to have such relations before marriage.”
“She is Fang Xinxin.” Bai Qinghao pointed out.
Fang Shaohua felt his heart hammering with pain.
Indeed, Xinxin would only do such a thing with someone if she cherished the person in her heart.
When Fang Xinxin glanced at Fang Shaohua, the other party had already managed his own emotions. However, he did not look happy.
She recognised that her brother was upset at her for having intimate relations before marriage. “Brother, I…”
“Don’t speak about it anymore.” Fang Shaohua was drowning in misery. He barely managed to hold onto his composure. “I’ll go wash the plates.”
He picked up the remaining dishes from the dining table into the kitchen. The instant he turned around, his tears escaped and rolled down his fair cheeks.
Three years ago, when he had been jailed, the emotions he experienced were that of anger from being wronged. It stemmed from his difficulty in accepting the situation.
But right now, he felt as though his entire heart had been dug out. It was an overwhelming pain that made it difficult for him to continue living!
Bai Qinghao tugged Fang Xinxin’s little head over and prevented her from watching Fang Shaohua’s heavy back view.
Even from behind, the man appeared to be in despair.
He could not help but suspect whether Fang Shaohua would jump off from the twentieth storey. That would be the best conclusion. It would be a glorious burial.
Fang Xinxin’s attention was diverted by Bai Qinghao. She did not seem to pay much attention to Fang Shaohua. “My brother doesn’t seem to be very happy?”
Bai Qinghao sat down on the couch. He forcefully tugged her onto his lap. “Who cares about how he feels?”
“He is my brother.” She pouted and responded. “Since young, I’ve treated him like my actual brother. How can I ignore his feelings?”
Bai Qinghao’s lips twitched into a smile. He responded coldly. “These words are pleasing to my ears.”
It was a pity that Fang Shaohua did not think the same.
If Fang Shaohua dared to yearn for his woman, he could easily send him back to jail anytime. In fact, it would be impossible for him to wash off his crimes for the rest of his life.
“No, my brother has always believed that I’m obedient and that I won’t do anything out of line.” Fang Xinxin thought about it and said, “I should go explain myself to him…”
“What’s there to explain?” Bai Qinghao’s expression turned cold. “Earlier, he said that it’s normal for couples these days to have relations before getting married. It means that he doesn’t mind it.”
