He tugged her back into his arms. “Foolish girl. Everything the Bai family owns will one day belong to our future child. There isn’t anyone in this world who hopes for the Bai family to continue prospering more than you. You haven’t gone silly. Why would you try to ruin the Bai family’s luck?”
With regards to children, he had already gone for a hospital check-up recently and confirmed that his body did not have any problems in that aspect.
He had been cohabitating with Xinxin for so long, yet there weren’t any signs of pregnancy. Could it be that she…
He could not help a hint of worry as he quickly added. “It’s fine if you don’t want a child.”
She sighed in bliss. “I have such a wonderful husband who trusts me so much. I’m really so happy. Hubby, won’t you worry that my mental health isn’t faring well?”
“Of course not.” Bai Qinghao kissed her cheek lovingly. “At the time, you were unaware that your mother’s body was buried beneath the storage room that you lived in. It’s natural that you didn’t feel anything amiss since you were unaware. Although you found the body after, you were no longer living in the Bai family. Even if it caused some trauma to you, afterwards, I spent the time carefully accompanying and taking care of you. I can tell that your mental health is stronger than anyone else’s.”
“Even more than yours?” She raised her brows.
He chuckled. “I’m absolutely insane. I’ve gone insane due to my love for you.”
His words left her in pain. She glared at him. “You spoke wrongly earlier. What did you mean when you said you carefully accompanied and took care of me during that time?”
His expression turned heavy. “Was I not good enough? Tell me. I’ll learn to be a better husband.”
“You’re more than good enough!” She burrowed into his arms and acted spoiled. “What I meant was that you’ve accompanied me for much longer than that. You’ve always been by my side ever since I was a child.”
“Of course.” He gently caressed her long, silky hair that flowed down her back. He murmured lovingly. “I’ve wanted you as my wife since we were children.”
Her heart was bubbling in joy but she spoke gloomily. “Bai Qinghao, aren’t you going to ask me why I bought those ten haunted apartments? In fact, only five of them are related to murder incidents. The other five were sold cheaply for other reasons. That news outlet exaggerated the truth and wrote that all ten apartments are haunted.”
“Mian Lan North District…” Bai Qinghao deliberated over this and quickly understood. A hint of smile appeared on his cold, stern features. “My wife has a good insight.”
“Hahaha.” It was a wonderful thing to be praised by the love of her life. She laughed happily.
Bai Qinghao instructed his people to take the article down. The news company was also immediately shut down.
After washing up, the two of them headed downstairs for breakfast.
Bai Jingrou and her family also joined them at the table. She wasn’t sure if Bai Qinghao had gotten to read the article that Fang Xinxin purchased the haunted apartments in an attempt to ruin the Bai family’s luck. However, she was certain that Elder Bai Chongshan saw it.
She even saw the elder reading the news with his glasses.
However, both the elder and Bai Qinghao did not mention this matter. Bai Jingrou and her family naturally did not dare to bring it up.
After breakfast, Bai Jingrou and her family returned to Jing Xin Residence behind the main building.
“I thought Fang Xinxin would interrogate you about the news from this morning.” Bai Chenxi glanced at Bai Jingrou. “Could it be that she didn’t see the news related to her purchasing those haunted apartments?”
Bai Jingrou was in the midst of scrolling through her phone. “She saw it. It wasn’t just her. The entire Bai family knows of it.”
“But they didn’t show any reaction…”
