As she remembered it, he was going to bundle her up securely in a bedsheet and drag her straight off to cram her into his vehicle.

Everyone at Yu Ting Villa had witnessed her pathetic plight and burst into laughter.

Back then, someone among them had spread the word, letting it explode across the whole city center. It turned into common knowledge that she'd tried to run off with a lover and got carted away completely naked, with everyone witnessing the shameful spectacle.

She absolutely had to stop this from occurring!

Bai Qinghao shot her a glance and commanded in a stern tone right away. “Liu Li, fetch a set of women's clothes for Fang Xinxin immediately!”

“Got it,” the bodyguard just outside the door replied respectfully at once.

Fang Xinxin's face darkened instantly. “Bai Qinghao, so you didn't just take advantage of me with Bai Chenxi hiding behind the curtains. You even let your bodyguard eavesdrop right outside!”

Earlier, she'd been too busy fighting to escape Bai Qinghao's grip and hadn't spotted the guy at the door.

The bodyguard who'd overheard everything was Liu Li.

He was the same fellow who utterly loathed her.

Yet to Bai Qinghao, Liu Li wasn't merely a bodyguard. He counted as a kind of friend too.

The hospital room stayed so silent that even their breathing echoed clearly outdoors.

Given her present bulk, her breaths came out way louder than usual. They sounded like nonstop huffing and puffing.

Hearing her own heavy breathing made her desperate to lose every bit of her excess weight!

She resembled a plump Buddha perched on the bed, draped in the sheets. She was hogging nearly the entire mattress all alone.

This was utterly mortifying.

Better to feast her eyes on the striking man.

She turned her gaze to Bai Qinghao, sending him a gaze brimming with intense affection.

Sadly, her round features made her face look puffy. Her eyes remained teary from the emotional reunion, giving her look an ambiguous vibe.

He figured she was furious over losing her virginity and weeping from the injustice.

Bai Qinghao's strikingly handsome features stiffened with strain. The icy stare he fixed on her turned even frostier.

They locked eyes directly, but it was nothing like in films—no sparks or floating hearts in the scene.

The air hung thick with doubts and distrust.

Strangely, she detected zero trace of his affection for her in that look.

If not for her past life, where he gave his life for her even in her near-death condition, she'd never have realized the icy, ruthless Bai Qinghao harbored such deep love for her.

Come to think of it, did he truly love her?

He was a guy overflowing with duty. Once he claimed her as his woman, he stuck to it unwaveringly. Still, he'd never uttered the word ‘love’ to her.

Was it possible his feelings were duty-bound rather than true love?

Lost in these thoughts, her spirits sank lower and lower.

She sniffled softly. Regardless, this lifetime, she was determined to win his heart.

Right then, steady knocks sounded at the door. Liu Li stepped inside holding a luxury brand's paper bag. He handed it over with a face twisted in revulsion and scorn.

Fang Xinxin clutched the sheets with one hand while stretching out her other coal-black arm to take it.

Bai Qinghao barked sharply at Liu Li. “Turn around and get out!”

Liu Li spun away on instinct without delay.

Was the CEO fretting that he'd glimpse Fang Xinxin's chunky arm?

He was overthinking it. This woman was hideous, obese, and pimply all over. She was so repulsive it was lethal. Even if she bared everything before him, he'd feel zero attraction.

He couldn't fathom how their CEO could be so sightless. To actually fancy such garbage!

Was it solely because they'd been betrothed since childhood?
