Despite Fang Shaohua’s charming good looks, he seemed both embarrassed and awkward.

  Bai Qinghao took in his appearance and was secretly pleased.

  Fang Xinxin’s gaze suddenly turned heavy. She said unhappily, “Brother, though you misunderstood this for two years, you are still an intelligent man. When Gao Ru, the part-time worker, asked you about this, there was no way you couldn’t tell that she had bad intentions. Why did you admit to it immediately? Regardless of whether it was true, you could have denied it, couldn’t you?”

  \r \r \r

  Fang Shaohua criticised her immediately. “I had thought you would go on to be happy after marrying into the Bai family. But it turns out that someone instructed Gao Ru to start this matter with the intention of forcing you out of the Bai family. It isn’t easy to be Madam Bai. The reason I decided to admit to this matter was to force Bai Qinghao to give up on you.”

  When Bai Qinghao heard this, his expression turned cold and enraged. “Find the person behind Gao Ru. Toss them directly into the sea to feed the sharks!”

  “Yes, Sir!” Liu Li immediately instructed his subordinates to work faster.

  Fang Xinxin, however, watched Fang Shaohua with disapproval. “Brother, I’m doing very well in the Bai family. Let’s not talk about Bai Qinghao’s status and wealth. Even if he were any other man, perhaps someone with just a little wealth, it’s unavoidable that he’ll encounter someone interested in me. Despite all that, Bai Qinghao’s feelings for me have never changed. Regardless of how ugly or fat I used to be, he has always loved me.”

  “I’m just the same!” Fang Shaohua raised his voice. “I’ve never looked down on you in the past.”

  “That’s because we’re family.” Fang Xinxin shook her head. “Besides, Brother, you’re not the same as Bai Qinghao. He would never marry someone else, but you’ve already married Sun Jiamu.”

  Fang Shaohua’s body trembled. “That’s because…” He needed to take responsibility for Jiamu.

  “There aren’t so many reasons.” Fang Xinxin pointed out. “The truth is that you don’t love me as much as you think you do. In fact, your feelings for me aren’t romantic love at all.” She sighed. “Brother, you’ve never known your birth parents. All you’ve ever had is the Fang family. Furthermore, we grew up in a family together and you’re used to having me around all the time. The feelings you hold for me are a result of familiarity and are a form of dependency born from your loneliness. You’ve never had a relationship with a woman. It’s only natural that you would make such a mistake. It indicates that you need to interact with more women. It’s precisely because you don’t understand what romantic love is that you would mistake familial love for romantic love.”

  “That’s not true…” Fang Shaohua’s complexion instantly turned pale.

  “If you truly love me as much as you say, why would you register your marriage with Sun Jiamu on the day of my wedding?” Fang Xinxin told him clearly, “That’s because you actually have feelings for Jiamu. Nowadays, when you don’t get to see Jiamu, do you miss her? When you watch her being hurt and upset, does your heart ache for her?”

  Fang Shaohua’s complexion was as pale as a sheet of paper and his gaze was filled with shock. However, he found that he could not refute her words.

  This was because, without his own awareness, his heart had grown to ache for Jiamu. Whenever he could not see her, he would actually miss her…

  Fang Xinxin took in his reaction and concluded. “Brother, when it comes to love, you’re still too innocent. The woman you truly love is your own wife, Jiamu. It’s not me. That is why you have to treasure her well. She has done a lot for you. Let this misunderstanding go. In future, we will remain siblings.”

  Fang Shaohua’s gaze was complex as he stared at Fang Xinxin. He wanted to refute her words but found that he could not make even a single noise.
