A corner of Bai Qinghao's lips lifted up in a cold smile. “Isn't it easy to examine if Fang Xinxin actually likes Bai Chenxi or not?”

Immediately Fang Lilan chipped in. “To examine someone's thoughts, wouldn't you have to chop their brain open?”

She rushed to cover her mouth. “CEO Bai, you can't do that to our Xinxin!”

Fang Xinxin was speechless. Her gaze toward Fang Lilan immediately turned cold. “Do you wish for me to die that badly?”

“What are you saying?” Fang Lilan would never admit to it. “I'm trying to stop CEO Bai from hurting you. I'm trying to protect you!”

Fang Xinxin smiled coldly. “Is that so? I thought you were trying to remind Bai Qinghao that he could break my brain open for a look.”

Indeed, Fang Lilan dearly wished that Bai Qinghao would hurt Fang Xinxin fatally. It would save her a lot of time.

Her daughter, Fang Manxue, would then be able to enjoy the position of the Bai family's young madam.

However, she could not admit to this and only pretended that she still wanted to protect her.

She never expected Fang Xinxin, the s.l.u.t, to see through it.

Regardless, she would never admit to wanting to harm her.

Bai Chenxi felt it would be a waste for Bai Qinghao to kill Fang Xinxin now. If his chess piece died just like that, where would he find another one that was loved by Bai Qinghao to this extent?

Fang Xinxin had liked him secretly since she was young. He felt that it was impossible for her feelings to change and for her to grow to like Bai Qinghao.

“CEO Bai, hacking open one's brains to examine their thoughts would be far too cruel. Fang Xinxin's feelings for me aren't a crime deserving of death. I'll definitely convince her to focus her thoughts on you. Why don't…”

Bai Chenxi had just started to speak for Fang Xinxin insincerely when Bai Qinghao suddenly smiled. “Who said I was going to open up her skull? Why don't you replace her instead?”

Immediately, he reached for a brand new bottle of red wine that had been left on the table and smashed it heavily on Bai Chenxi's head. His movement was smooth and das.h.i.+ng!

With a loud noise, the bottle of red wine was smashed into smithereens against Bai Chenxi's head. The red wine spilled all over his hair.

In an instant, Bai Chenxi's head was covered in blood. It flowed downward along with the red wine.

“Ah!” Fang Lilan rarely came across such a b.l.o.o.d.y scene. She released a scream and quickly covered her mouth in fear.

Bai Qinghao's gaze was focused on Fang Xinxin. He saw that she did not even pause to blink. She appeared completely unaffected by the scene.

His cold features relaxed. “Even after watching Bai Chenxi being harmed, Fang Xinxin doesn't seem the slightest bit upset. Doesn't that clearly indicate that she doesn't like Bai Chenxi at all? Are the two of you satisfied with this method of examining Fang Xinxin's thoughts?”

Fang Lilan was fearful that if this went on any longer, the next person to 'receive' a bottle would be her. She nodded frantically. “Satisfied, satisfied!”

Bai Qinghao narrowed his eyes and asked threateningly. “Do you still feel that Fang Xinxin likes Bai Chenxi? That she can't bear for him to suffer the slightest harm?”

“No, no!” Fang Lilan responded without any hesitation. “I must have heard wrongly! Our Xinxin is your fiancée, how could she possibly like Bai Chenxi?”

“What about you?” Bai Qinghao s.h.i.+fted his sharp gaze towards Bai Chenxi.

The intense pain from his scalp had left Bai Chenxi dumbstruck.

As of now, all he could feel was anger welling up.

They were both members of the Bai family. Even if he was only an adopted son, Bai Qinghao was still supposed to consider their relations.h.i.+p. To think he would be this ruthless!

He really wished he could kill Bai Qinghao right now.

Unfortunately, with his current ability, to deal with Bai Qinghao would be akin to inviting a disaster.

This also indicated that Bai Qinghao did not trust him or Fang Lilan in the slightest.
