“Get straight to the point!”

  “I apologise on Jingrou’s behalf. She shouldn’t have caused trouble at your company. It’s still a light punishment for her to be detained for three days.” Bai Chenxi watched her in infatuation.

  At the thought that she was the director behind the wealthy Jiao Yang Finance Group, his heart was filled with all sorts of unpleasant feelings.

  If he had accepted her feelings back then, Jiao Yang Finance Group would be his today!

  He recalled Fang Xinxin’s feelings for him in the past and felt certain that she still loved him.

  Thus, he summoned up his courage to confess. “Xinxin, I love you!”

  \r \r \r

  Fang Xinxin came to a halt. She stared at him in disbelief. Did he take the wrong medicine? Instead of begging for mercy on his sister’s behalf, he was actually confessing to her?

  Unbeknown to them, the first thing Bai Qinghao did after finishing his work was to return to the Bai family’s old mansion to inquire about his newly wed wife’s whereabouts.

  The helper informed him that she was in the backyard and he soon came searching for her.

  When Bai Qinghao saw that Bai Chenxi was also present, he paused behind the rock garden. He wanted to see what tricks Bai Chenxi had to pull.

  This foolish thing. He actually dared to confess to his wife. He had to be tired of living!

  But then, he recalled the unconcealable feelings Fang Xinxin used to hold for Bai Chenxi.

  Although he was fully aware of Xinxin’s feelings right now, his cold, frozen heart could not help but be unhappy.

  “Xinxin, I know that you don’t love Bai Qinghao at all.” His gaze was loving. “You only love his power and wealth, don’t you?”

  Bai Qinghao began to feel anxious.

  He was deeply afraid Xinxin would give an answer that would drive him to murder someone.

  “I already have enough money.” Fang Xinxin’s expression was indifferent.

  But Bai Chenxi remained firm. “No one would complain about having too much money. By becoming Madam Bai, you’re able to stand at the highest point of this world. Thus, you’re in love with Bai Qinghao’s money! And the man you actually love is me!”

  Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly and responded coldly. “Bai Chenxi, I don’t owe you any explanations for my feelings or actions. You’re not good enough! Still, as your cousin-in-law, I don’t mind telling you this out of the goodness of my heart. I won’t deny that I do like Bai Qinghao’s money.”

  Hidden behind the shadows, Bai Qinghao’s expression had turned cold. His body appeared to be covered in a frigid cold layer of frost.

  Fang Xinxin sensed the piercing gaze from around the corner and could not help but shiver.

  Bai Chenxi lit up with a smile. “I knew it. You’re not sincere towards Bai Qinghao. You…”

  “Stop!” Fang Xinxin cut off his wishful thinking. “Let me ask you this first. Setting aside the enormous wealth Bai Qinghao possesses, don’t you similarly love the Bai family’s money? If you don’t like it, why is your family of three still clinging onto the Bai family?”

  “I…” Bai Chenxi had no way of refuting this.

  Fang Xinxin’s expression was indifferent as she pointed out. “Everyone loves money. Anyone who claims otherwise is always being untruthful. Why did I work so hard to start my own company? To earn money. And what for? It’s so that one day, I’ll be good enough for Bai Qinghao. Bai Qinghao is someone who is standing on the highest peak of this world. I would be lying if I claimed I didn’t not like his money. However, I love him even more. Compared to him, his money is of no significance to me. I’ve never desired his money. If Bai Qinghao somehow ends up losing all his wealth one day, I would still love him.”

  Behind the corner, Bai Qinghao was deeply moved by her words. This was his wife. She was honest, beautiful and genuine.
