The scent grew stronger and richer over time, even becoming somewhat cloying. Bai Zhi and Ye Xiu both covered their noses, Bai Zhi even went so far as to pull open a curtain to let the fragrance dissipate slowly.
As for whether Bai Da would suffer any side effects? Who knows, they didn’t care about that issue.
"Xiuxiu, as expected, no longer has any feelings for Nan Jin, even if she looks at Nan Jin and remembers their memories, she feels nothing.
I’m very happy. Xiuxiu truly loves me the most, her heart only has room for me.
She can only love me."
Bai Da’s voice carried a mania, the kind that comes when one gets what one wishes for.
It was like knowing that it was a reality that couldn’t be achieved, only possible in dreams.
"Our life is getting better and better, Xiuxiu loves me more and more. I’m willing to give everything to Xiuxiu. I work hard to earn money, I need to work especially hard, especially tirelessly, only by letting Xiuxiu see my struggles can I make her love me even more.
And I want everyone to know how good I am to her, making everyone envy her for having such a loving husband."
Bai Da spoke more joyfully as he continued, as if it were his own stage, performing a perfect act, directing and acting on his own.
"What happened then with Bai Zhi and Nan Xi?"
Bai Zhi realized that the scent seemed to be dissipating already and quickly started questioning,
afraid that Bai Da would wake up and no longer be willing to continue speaking.
Actually, Ye Xiu was quite pitiful, living a life built on falsehoods. Bai Da had hypnotized her more than once making her forget Nan Jin and her past, and she even forgot herself.
This was no longer just hypnosis; it was outright criminal.
Where did that bracelet come from, and how did Bai Da learn to hypnotize? These were all issues.
"Bai Zhi?" Disgust flashed across Bai Da’s face.
"Bai Zhi dared to use the name Xingxing, she deserves to die. She was merely a result of a surprise I planned for Nan Jin.
Nan Jin always thought about Xiuxiu. Naturally, I wanted to give him a big gift, a woman who only thinks about money.
Just give her some money, and she happily goes along, too stupid, even needing me to handle the drugging.
With that flesh in her belly, she still couldn’t hold onto Nan Jin’s heart. What use is she?
Xixi, my daughter, Xingxing was the name I had prepared for her, all my expectations—I wanted to give her the best life.
No, I wanted Nan Jin to give her the best life.
I made an agreement with that woman, as long as she informed me when she gave birth, I could help her get everything from Nan Jin.
She actually believed it and betrayed the information.
That day even the heavens helped me, when I went in, Xiuxiu was unconscious, and even that woman was out. I directly switched the child.
And Nan Jin, that piece of trash, actually went to pay for Xiuxiu’s fees instead of seeing his daughter.
Doesn’t he have money? Isn’t he a wealthy young master?
Then let him be good to my daughter. I want my daughter to have everything from Nan Jin.
Let his daughter suffer at my hands.
At first, I didn’t even want to give a name to Bai Zhi’s wild child, nothing but Nan Jin’s bastard. Why should Xiuxiu be good to her?
She doesn’t have the right!"
Craziness flashed in Bai Da’s eyes, his mouth curving into an abnormally cheerful smile.
He was a madman. A lowlife, a brute.
"Every time Xiuxiu hugged her, I hit her once. When I was in a bad mood, I would stick needles into her, that feeling, really, was too good.
Seeing Bai Zhi being tormented by me, I realized life was so
