Chapter 369: Let Me Remain By Your Side  

Her attitude was open and her charisma was outstanding. Her graceful stance combined with a hint of heartbreak was unbelievably dazzling.

She said that becoming his fiancée was one of the greatest blessings in her life.

No matter whether she was speaking the truth, with those words alone, he was willing to sacrifice his life for her.

Bai Qinghao was deeply moved. He realised that his feelings towards Fang Xinxin were only growing stronger and deeper by the day...

The moment she stepped out of the cameras’ view, he immediately stretched his arm out and held her shoulders protectively. He then took her to leave from there.

In the hospital ward next door, Fang Manxue laid back on the bed. She had been waiting for Fang Xinxin to be ruined, but did not expect herself and her mother’s reputation to worsen.

Long Shuhai’s expression was heavy. He gritted his teeth in hatred. “Fang Xinxin, this whore. She really is an annoying cockroach who refuses to die!”

Fang Manxue glared at him. “Didn’t you and Mom say that you would obtain justice for me? Is this what you meant by giving me justice!”

Long Shuhai watched her with some heartache. “Xiao Xue...”

Fang Manxue’s eyes reddened in anger. Her gaze expressed her extreme hatred. “I won’t let Fang Xinxin off! I won’t!”

...

In an apartment in the Hong Sheng District, Fang Shaohua sat before the television. His gaze was fixed on Fang Xinxin’s crying figure.

His heart was aching for the suffering she had endured during all this time.

He hated himself for his powerlessness in the past three years. He had allowed her to suffer so much.

Now that he had the label of a criminal over his head, what more could he give her?

Fang Shaohua’s heart was deeply tortured by the pain.

When the live-stream ended, he dearly wished to embrace Fang Xinxin’s beautiful, heartbroken figure.

He really wished to comfort her and to say that ‘with Brother here, there’s nothing to be afraid of, Xinxin!’

But with the occasional movements of the cameras, he noticed that Bai Qinghao was also present there.

As of now, Xinxin probably did not need him...

Fang Shaohua picked up his phone several times to dial Fang Xinxin’s number.

However, each time he dialled, he ended it before it would connect.

He stepped onto the balcony and took in the view of the bustling city at night. The neon lights made for a dazzling sight.

He could only remain in the apartment she had arranged for him.

He could only quietly wait for her and quietly miss her...

At the same time, Chi Minzhe carried out his orders and took the footage from the pinhole camera he had previously arranged in Fang Lilan’s hospital ward. He edited out all the clips that were beneficial to Fang Xinxin and released them to the world.

The first was footage of Fang Lilan bribing Nurse Yang Fen.

The second was when Fang Lilan and Long Shuhai talked about carrying out revenge on Fang Manxue’s behalf.

In an instant, Fang Lilan, Long Shuhai and Fang Manxue became the public’s enemy.

Their schemes had failed and they were criticised for being vicious leeches. Everyone was after them.

...

Half an hour later, in the Yu Ting Vila.

Bai Qinghao sat down on the living room’s couch and brought Fang Xinxin into his arms. His cold, heavy tone carried his heartache. “Fang Xinxin...”

“En?” She quietly laid in his broad and firm arms.

The sensation was warm and her heart was content.

Her obedience caused his heart to hurt further. “No matter what happens, I will always be by your side.”

His heart was still aching for the tears she had shed earlier.

“En.” She nodded and shifted to lay down on his lap.

She then watched him and responded. “In the same way, no matter what happens to you, will you let me remain by your side as well?”

He did not agree. “No matter if it’s me or the Bai family, we will at times have to take certain risks. I can’t allow you to be involved in it.”
