His fighting prowess proved unbeatable, and his marksmanship was terrifyingly sharp. On top of that, he was a genuine prodigy in business. Enterprises under his control spanned virtually every sector, while he commanded the world's top-ranked financial empire.

His origins were profoundly intricate, and from their youth, he had reigned as the nation's supreme heartthrob!

She truly couldn't endure a single punch from him. His knuckles struck harder than iron. Just one hit would drain away half her vitality.

She hurriedly cried out to him. “Don’t hit me!”

Only after the words left her lips did she remember that no matter how much chaos she stirred for him in her previous life, he had never laid a hand on her.

Bai Qinghao’s lips twisted into a smirk as fury blazed in his wild gaze. “You’re still scared of getting hit?”

She nodded vigorously.

His eyes narrowed while he scrutinized her intently.

Something felt off about her.

He had seized her forcefully right before the man she adored. Shouldn’t she be shrieking and raging at him?

Just moments ago, her frenzy had led her to sob and chomp down on him fiercely. Scratches and bites marred his chest and arms.

He’d expected her madness to persist. Yet, surprisingly, she now seemed far calmer. “I’m not so petty as to strike you.”

“If you can’t bring yourself to hit me, just say it outright.” A subtle smile played on her lips.

That smile stirred unease in him, making him suspect something was deeply wrong. Had the emotional shock driven her insane?

Fang Xinxin brimmed with genuine joy.

Both of them lived—how miraculous! She was so elated she yearned to leap onto him, embrace him, and shower him with kisses!

But at present, she remained unclothed. Jumping him naked was out of the question.

Moreover, he despised her completely right now and seethed over her deeds.

She mused somewhat sadly that since heaven granted her rebirth, why not a bit sooner? Then, she never would have fled with Bai Chenxi.

No matter. A second chance was miracle enough.

Bai Qinghao’s face grew icier. She was correct—he truly couldn’t stomach harming her, despite her betrayal!

Fang Xinxin saw his expression darken like soot. She knew this major hurdle had to be cleared.

From memory, to punish her flight, he’d soon confine her in Yu Ting Villa.

That was his estate beyond the city core.

She refused to face imprisonment again.

So, she soothed him gently. “Don’t be mad...” she murmured softly.

He glared at her plump features for three seconds, convinced rage had unhinged her.

Or maybe she feigned this to deceive him, biding time to strike him down.

His face stayed impassive. If she wished to drag this out, he’d play along. “Do you believe your deeds merit mere anger?”

“What did I do wrong?” she whispered softly.

“I crashed in Bai Chenxi’s vehicle. Why does that enrage you so?”

Even under torture, she’d deny eloping with Bai Chenxi—though it was true.

Otherwise, their bond would shatter irreparably.

Plus, she recalled Bai Chenxi denying it all to save his skin.

“You did it, but won’t own up?” Bai Qinghao’s wrath surged instantly, chilling the already icy room further.

She braved his oppressive presence to ask innocently, “Own up to what?”

He ground out through clenched teeth, “Eloping with Bai Chenxi. You court death!”

In the past, terror would have gripped her. Strangely now, fear evaded her.

She arched a brow. “Who claimed I eloped with him?”

His visage loomed darkly as he stood mute.

She knew full well it was her stepsister, Fang Manxue, who’d fed him that tale.

Since he wouldn’t respond, she let it drop.

“Um... regardless of your misconceptions about me, could you fetch me some clean clothes? I’d rather not chat like this, completely bare.”
