Fang Xinxin asked. "What if I had lost?"
A hint of gentleness appeared in his gaze. "Nonetheless, they would only write articles that benefit you. As for Fang Manxue, I have countless methods to make her give up on her agreement with you."
"For example?"
"Making her 'disappear'. The murderer would have been Bai Chenxi. What do you think of this idea?"
"It is a good idea. But since I've won, I don't wish to get your hands dirty." She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist and continued gloomily. "Bai Qinghao, let me resolve my own problems by myself."
After experiencing one life, she felt that she could not always depend on him. She needed to learn to stand on her own two feet.
"Alright." He would stay behind her, or in front of her, when necessary and continue protecting her.
Right then, Fang Xinxin received a voice message from Sun Jiamu:
[My dear, when I saw Fang Manxue, that whore, having to kneel down to you despite her earlier arrogance, I truly felt great! You're amazing!]
Fang Xinxin responded with a voice message as well: [Whatever makes you happy.]
However, Bai Qinghao noticed a hint of indulgence in Fang Xinxin's voice. "You seem to treat her very well?"
He began to feel jealous. All of her indulgence ought to only belong to him!
"She treats me very well too."
"You're only allowed to treat me well!" His expression was stony as he commanded her tyrannically.
She lifted her brows in amazement. "Bai Qinghao, are you jealous? The person who sent me a message earlier was Sun Jiamu. She's my classmate and roommate. Most importantly, she's a girl!"
"I don't care." He repeated himself seriously. "You should only have me in your heart. There shouldn't be space even for a woman!"
She did not dare to defy him openly.
Instead, she patted his firm back gently. "Bai Qinghao, Sun Jiamu is a friend worth having. In my heart, you are definitely the most important person to me. However, we all need some friendships. Besides, she's the only person aside from you who treats me well."
She did not dare to bring up her elder brother, Fang Shaohua, as she was afraid that he would be jealous one again.
Bai Qinghao was very satisfied that she did not bring up Fang Shaohua. He did not express his disagreement any further. This indicated that he was silently accepting it.
Still, he reminded her. "You should always be wary of other people's intentions. When it's inappropriate to be foolish, you have to be smarter than them. Do you understand?"
She nodded obediently like a young child that was being lectured. "Oh."
The two of them returned to the Yu Ting Villa and set fire to their main bedroom…
Inside the Fang family's villa, Fang Manxue threw herself into Fang Lilan's arms in tears. "Mom, I'm going to kill Fang Xinxin! I'm going to kill her!"
Fang Lilan had also seen the photos of her beloved daughter kneeling down to Fang Xinxin on the internet. Her expression was filled with rage. "She deserves to die!"
"Manxue, didn't you say that this would be an easy win for you?" Long Shuhai reproached her with some resentment. "How did you end up losing to that ugly whore?"
"How would I know that she would improve so quickly? She actually scored the best in the entire school year. Uu…" Fang Manxue was in tears. "All my face was thrown away. I can't show up in school anymore. I don't have the guts to do so!"
"How can you not attend school?" Long Shuhai's expression was stern. "Jing Hua University is an excellent school. Most people struggle to even get a place there!"
Fang Lilan glared at Long Shuhai before turning to Fang Manxue in heartache. "Forget it if you don't wish to attend school. Take some time to rest at home."
"Look at you. You've completely spoiled her rotten…" Long Shuhai said with resentment.. "If it weren't for you, Manxue's temper wouldn't be this bad."
