Chapter 324 - She Understood Her Brother’s Feelings
“That’s true,” Fang Xinxin responded naively.
She glanced towards the kitchen and saw that Fang Shaohua’s back view was stiff.
She struggled to imagine her brother’s expression. She was certain that he was heartbroken.
“Don’t speak about it anymore…”
Since young, her brother never said such a thing to her.
Instead, her brother often told her, “Xinxin, your voice is so sweet. Will you tell me more? Your brother loves hearing you speak!”
In her previous life, she genuinely did not understand her brother’s feelings for her.
But after having endured a lifetime, she came to understand quite enough.
When they were young, Fang Manxue had gifted toys to their brother just like her. However, he did not keep even a single one of them.
Yet, he treasured the ones she gave him dearly and had hidden them in his little box.
Fang Manxue had also requested for money from him. However, she only managed to receive a few thousand dollars.
On the other hand, her brother gave her a million dollars which was the entirety of his savings.
When her brother had been wrongly charged, she expected him to ask her to beg Bai Qinghao on his behalf. At the very least, she felt that he would have considered this option.
But instead, he firmly told her not to ask Bai Qinghao.
There was only one possible explanation for his actions. It was that he considered Bai Qinghao a rival in love, and was unwilling to owe him anything…
There were also many other seemingly normal details. However, when they were put together, the truth was far too obvious.
Unfortunately, she had already given her heart to Bai Qinghao. She did not have the space for any other man in her life.
This was also why she openly admitted to being Bai Qinghao’s woman.
It was better to rip the band-aid off once and for all.
This way, her brother would recognise early on that it was impossible between the two of them.
Furthermore, Bai Qinghao was especially prone to being jealous.
From the way he intentionally declared his possession of her in front of her brother indicated that he had already recognised her brother’s feelings.
Bai Qinghao’s character was merciless and ruthless. If her elder brother truly became an obstruction to their relationship, she could not guarantee that he would not employ shady methods to harm him without her knowing. He had the ability to keep her brother locked up for the rest of his life.
She refused to take this risk.
As of now, her brother was keeping his feelings concealed from her. Thus, she chose to remain dumb.
Bai Qinghao saw that Fang Xinxin did not seem to notice Fang Shaohua’s despair. His furrowed brows relaxed gradually.
He refused to allow his own woman to be distracted by other men!
Fang Xinxin saw that Fang Shaohua seemed to be frozen for quite a few minutes. She felt that if she continued pretending to be a fool, she would be seen through. She raised her voice to ask him. “Brother, why isn’t the tap running if you’re washing the dishes?”
Fang Shaohua swallowed painfully and forced himself to respond in a normal tone. “I’ll open the tap now.”
“Your voice doesn’t sound right? Are you feeling unwell? I can wash the plates instead.” Fang Xinxin stood up from Bai Qinghao’s lap. She had only taken a step when he tugged her back. “You’re not allowed to go. Why does my fiancée have to wash dishes? Arrange for a helper to do these chores!”
Fang Shaohua washed his face with some cold water and composed his emotions before returning to the living room. “There’s no need to trouble CEO Bai. There’ll be a helper coming tomorrow morning to take care of these.”
Bai Qinghao saw that his emotions were barely under control. He sneered coldly.
Since Xinxin was unaware of Fang Shaohua’s feelings, he would not bring it up.
He did not wish to see Fang Shaohua lose control. He did not mind Fang Shaohua dying. He only feared that Xinxin would be hurt.
He lifted his wrist and scanned his expensive, limited edition watch for the time. He tugged Fang Xinxin’s hand and firmly declared. “It’s late. I’m taking Xinxin back to the Yu Ting Villa!”
