Clearly, he had decided and didn't intend to ask Fang Xinxin if she was willing.

Bai Qinghao abruptly lifted Fang Xinxin into a bridal carry. Fang Xinxin was caught off guard and cried out in surprise. “Ah…”

Fang Shaohua's gaze landed on Fang Xinxin. Although her face was covered in scabs, he was deeply attracted by her bright, clear gaze. He pursed his lips softly and spoke up almost pleadingly. “It's already late. Why not stay here?”

He meant for her to 'stay here', and not to stay for a night.

And clearly, he was only asking for Fang Xinxin's opinion.

To be honest, Fang Xinxin's heart ached deeply because of her elder brother's pleading tone. She did wish to stay.

However…

If she remained here, Bai Qinghao would surely do the same.

She had already dealt her brother a heavy blow by acknowledging that she had become Bai Qinghao's woman. Was she supposed to stay longer to show off their affections for each other?

She released a long sigh internally and pretended to be innocent on the surface as she responded. “It wasn't easy for Qinghao to return from his business. I wish to spend more time with him.”

A rare hint of smile appeared on Bai Qinghao's stony features. He was clearly very pleased with Fang Xinxin's response.

He did not wait for Fang Shaohua to speak any further. He directly carried Fang Xinxin out of the apartment and into the elevator. His two bodyguards followed behind.

The moment they left, Fang Shaohua stumbled back onto the couch. He bent forward and buried his face into his palms. He cried in despair, tears escaping through the gaps of his fingers…

Inside the elevator, Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin in his arms. He felt her weight and furrowed his brows. “You've really lost too much weight. You're as light as a feather.”

Fang Xinxin leaned against his arms. She secretly searched each of his pockets before coldly speaking. “Put me down.”

He was unmoved.

“I'll walk on my own!” she shouted.

Ding!

The elevator stopped at the underground carpark. Bai Qinghao appeared not to have heard anything as he carried her out. He headed for the Rolls-Royce business car parked nearby. Liu Li rushed forward to open the backseat door for him.

Bai Qinghao forcefully stuffed Fang Xinxin into the backseat before sitting down next to her.

Liu Li immediately climbed into the driver's seat. The other bodyguard sat down next to him. The car quickly drove out of the underground carpark.

Fang Xinxin's expression was stiff. “Send me home.”

“Return to the Yu Ting Villa,” Bai Qinghao commanded simply.

“Yes, sir.” Liu Li respectfully responded.

There was no confusion in his mind. He was responding only to his boss's orders.

Fang Xinxin saw that the car was driving in the direction of Yu Ting Villa and not the Fang home. She gloomily responded. “I asked you to send me home.”

Bai Qinghao's tone was indifferent. “Yu Ting Villa is your home. I'm taking you home.”

“You… I meant the Fang home.” Fang Xinxin glared at him in frustration. “Do you believe I'll f.u.c.king jump out of the car?”

“Go ahead and give it a try.”

She was about to move when he continued coldly. “Fang Shaohua will immediately move back to jail tomorrow.”

“…” Fang Xinxin fell silent with a frigidly cold expression.

As expected, he was using her elder brother to threaten her!

However, she was well aware of his ruthless and merciless character. He was definitely not fooling around with her.

It hadn't been easy to obtain her elder brother's leave through medical reasons. She definitely could not allow him to be imprisoned again.

Bai Qinghao saw that she was stifled with anger. He closed his eyes and leaned back against the seat. He felt both the urge to smack her little b.u.t.t and kiss her to death. “Weren't you fine earlier? Why are you throwing a tantrum now?”
