Chapter 401: Your Bed
Fang Xinxin was held tightly by Bai Qinghao in his arms. She did not wish to struggle out of it, but gloomily responded. “Since you believe in me, why did your expression turn so dark when you heard my second sister mention Bai Chenxi with my name?”
“I’m just upset at your second sister for speaking nonsense.” Bai Qinghao’s razor-sharp gaze landed on Fang Manxue.
She was instantly frightened into backing away and nearly fell down on the ground.
Although he minded Fang Xinxin’s past feelings for Bai Chenxi a little, he had absolute faith in her loyalty towards him.
If Fang Manxue had not been not relying on her crutches, she would have fallen onto the ground and made for an ugly sight. “CEO Bai, I only mentioned that Bai Chenxi looked for Fang Xinxin in school. I didn’t say that she went on a date with Bai Chenxi. She was the one who came up with those additional words in her own head…”
Bai Qinghao’s tone was freezing cold. “You were clearly trying to cause a misunderstanding, yet you’re still trying to argue your way out of it?”
“I…” Fang Manxue bit her bottom lip in grievance. Her eyes were welling up with tears. “I mentioned Xinxin’s circumstances with good intentions. In the past, you always listened…”
In the past, it was because Xinxin refused to engage with him and always avoided him. Thus, he had no choice but to go through such methods to learn whatever he could about her. “You’re a woman full of lies. Do you think you still have the right to speak to me? Scram!”
“CEO Bai, c-can I head inside the Yu Ting Villa to rest a while before leaving?” Fang Manxue still refused to give up.
She had stood outside the Yu Ting Villa for four hours. She was accustomed to a wealthy lifestyle and was nearly at the end point of her exhaustion.
But she was unwilling to leave just like this.
“Throw these two people far away,” Bai Qinghao commanded before taking Fang Xinxin into the house.
The two bodyguards on their night shifts immediately lifted Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai up. Then they threw the two of them out, one by one in a perfect downwards curve.
Painful noises soon followed after.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
These were the miserable cries from Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue. They were tossed more than ten metres away and ended up rolling down several more metres.
The two bodyguards took in the distance that the bodies had landed at, expressionlessly and felt that this was far enough.
If they had thrown them too close to the villa, they would be forsaking their own lives.
Soon after, they returned to the duty post to carry out their night shifts in appropriate stances.
Fang Xinxin was forcefully held in Bai Qinghao’s arms and brought into the villa’s living room.
The moment she stepped into the house, she could smell the fragrance of the dishes on the dining table.
“You haven’t eaten?” Fang Xinxin took in the fancy, untouched dishes that covered the dining table.
“I was waiting for you.” His cold tone was indifferent.
However, Fang Xinxin was deeply moved. She responded softly. “The next time I return home late, don’t wait for me. You should eat first.”
He had a fixed routine for his meals and sleep.
If he missed his usual timings, he would surely be starving.
Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes a little and watched her meaningfully. “Does your heart ache for me?”
“En, en.” She rushed to nod her head like an obedient chick.
His cold, heavy voice revealed a hint of anger. “If your heart aches for me, don’t always try to leave!”
His expression was stony as he sat down and began eating silently.
If this had been any other day, he would have taken the initiative to feed her.
She approached and began rubbing his shoulders guiltily. “My great CEO Bai, are you angry?”
He breathed out heavily through his nose. Even the air around him seemed to turn cold
“Don’t be angry…” She stood behind his chair and held his handsome face from the back. “I didn’t know if you would chase me. I just wanted to throw a little tantrum.”
“What if I didn’t chase you?”
Then I would have ran away.
Although Fang Xinxin thought this way, she did not dare to actually say so!
