Before Fang Xinxin could move, Fang Lilan rushed to grab her hand. “Xinxin ah, how can you welcome guests this way? Don’t stand here at the entrance. It wasn’t easy for CEO Bai to visit. Quickly invite him into our living room.”

  Looking at Bai Qinghao, it was clear that he intended to interact alone with the fat wench. How could they possibly give him such an opportunity?

  She gave Fang Manxue a speaking look. “Manxue, you as well. Don’t just stand there. Quickly, go and pour some tea for CEO Bai.”

  Bai Qinghao was not fooled. He clearly understood Fang Lilan was trying to push Fang Manxue onto him. As usual, he did not waste his breath on them. He only gave Liu Li a look.

  Liu Li immediately understood his meaning and shoved Fang Lilan and Fang Manxue aside. The path towards the living room was immediately freed up.

  Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin’s hand in his large palm and pulled her into the living room.

  The other Fang family members wanted to follow along but were held outside by Liu Li.

  Fang Manxue glared at Liu Li in anger. “This is my home. What right do you have to stop me from going in?”

  \r \r \r

  If this bodyguard dared to bully them, she had more than enough reasons to argue with him.

  To her surprise, Liu Li stood firmly before her. He did not avert his gaze as he answered. “Based alone on the fact that Boss is the Fang family’s debtor.”

  With one sentence, he successfully destroyed Fang Manxue’s arrogance.

  The other party was not bullying her, but suppressing her with rightful reasons.

  They still owed Bai Qinghao a hundred million dollars. Fang Manxue regretted this situation right down to her bones.

  However, at this moment, even if they tried to return the money, the other party would not accept it. And if they chose not to abide by Zhang Yuanzhi’s contract, they would be jailed.

  She was really vexed!

  Fang Lilan and Long Shuhai were also annoyed to the extreme. They glared silently at the living room.

  Bai Qinghao brought Fang Xinxin to the second floor and entered her room.

  The moment they stepped in, he immediately pulled Fang Xinxin into his arms. He held her tightly and spoke in his low, husky voice. “I really missed you!”

  Even though they had just met yesterday, he felt as though a whole century had passed in the time they were apart.

  Fang Xinxin lifted her head in his arms. She noticed the exhaustion on his face. His eyes were also slightly bloodshot. She said with certainty, “You didn’t get any sleep after you left the hospital yesterday, right?”

  “En.” The man’s husky voice was seductive. It shot through her heart like an arrow.

  She touched his face with some heartache and responded in an extremely soft tone. “Bai Qinghao, you have to rest well. You can’t exhaust yourself like this.”

  Warmth immediately flooded his frozen heart.

  “I’m busy.” These days, he was busy to the point where he rarely had the time to sleep.

  She did not ask any questions about his work. She understood that he was not just busy with the Sheng Shi Group’s business. The reason the Bai family was this powerful and influential was because they were heavily involved in many government affairs.

  In her previous life, she had been his wife for ten years. She understood that the Bai family was extremely complex. It was better not to be curious about matters that she ought to leave alone.

  She would not make things difficult for him. When it came to the taboo topics, she would not ask any questions.

  “No matter how busy you care, you have to take good care of your own body.” Her delicate brows furrowed in concern.

  “All right.” As long as it was her request, he would fulfil it. As he took in her worried gaze, he felt his exhaustion fading away.

  “Bai Qinghao, did you make a long distance trip? You must have crossed the border.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the helicopter.

  He must have gone abroad for business matters.

  He nodded. Since his work involved many confidential matters, it was difficult for him to explain it to her. Furthermore, when it came to some matters, it was safer for her to remain out of the loop.
