Chapter 606: Burning Pit
“Since you’re so resolute, I won’t hide this from you any longer.” Jiang Xingnan seemed to have come to a difficult decision.
He said with some hesitation, “The truth is, back when Grandmother Bai decided on your engagement with Bai Qinghao, Grandfather Bai had opposed her decision. However, he could not persuade her to change her mind. I’m here because I’ve received Grandfather Bai’s instructions to pursue you.”
Fang Xinxin appeared composed. She clasped her hands together comfortably. “I expected this.”

I’ve had feelings for almost the moment Grandfather Bai instructed me to pursue you. In fact, even when you were ugly… even before you regained your good looks, I had already liked you.”
“Oh?” This took her by some surprise. “Didn’t you say you only liked beautiful women with good figures?”
He harrumphed with some arrogance. “You still had some attractive points.” For example, she actually wasn’t afraid of snakes despite being a girl. Additionally, her aura, her gaze, her singing voice… and many others.
“I don’t need your generosity.” Fang Xinxin’s expression was indifferent. In this life, she only needed Bai Qinghao’s love.
“Don’t you understand?” Jiang Xingnan was on the verge of raising his voice. “The only person on your side, Grandmother Bai, has already passed away. Grandfather Bai doesn’t support your marriage with Bai Qinghao!”
Fang Xinxin searched through her memories. “In fact, Grandfather Bai’s attitude towards this marriage is more neutral than you are claiming. After all, to him, his late wife’s promise is akin to his. I think you’re withholding some of the truth. You must have volunteered to pursue me in a feat of ‘bravery’. Grandfather Bai must have only agreed to this jokingly.”
Jiang Xingnan’s complexion turned red in humiliation after being seen through. “So what!”
“You’re wasting your time.” Fang Xinxin rewarded him with four words.
Jiang Xingnan saw that she appeared unmoved. He grew flustered. “Fine, I was in the wrong for this. But…” He gritted his teeth and decided to share his observations about the Bai family with her. “Let me tell you, Bai Jingrou isn’t a simple woman. I can tell from the way she looks at Bai Qinghao that she is interested in him. Furthermore, that woman hides her schemes especially well. If you marry into the Bai family, there’s no way you’ll be able to compete against her. Listen to me. If you leave Bai Qinghao, perhaps Bai Jingrou will let you off…”
Fang Xinxin’s brows lifted in surprise.
She had already known that Bai Jingrou hid her intentions very well.
However, she did not expect Jiang Xingnan to warn her about this.

Although Jiang Xingnan was rather rebellious and had a bad temper, in fact, he disdained speaking poorly of others.
The fact that he was telling her this right now meant that he had seen things that he could not share with her.
Jiang Xingnan sighed heavily and glared at her. “It seems like you won’t listen to my advice!”
“I don’t wish to repeat my feelings for Bai Qinghao again.” She instructed a helper. “Pour Young Master Jiang some tea.”
“There’s no need. I’m full from my anger against you!” Jiang Xingnan reached for the teacup held by Fang Xinxin and drank from it. He tilted his head back and downed it.
“You!” She glared at him.
He waved the cup before and intentionally kissed the cup. “This is called an indirect kiss, do you understand? Let me tell you, I won’t change my mind easily. Since you insist on throwing yourself into a burning pit, I’ll wait for the day you run out of the Bai family crying. Of course…”
A hint of worry flashed past his eyes. “I hope that you’ll be unharmed when that day comes.”
