Rebirth: Pampered Wife’s Counterattack

The sound of heavy footsteps approached the bed. The temperature in the room also seemed to fall, making the air turn cold.

Aside from Bai Qinghao, it was unlikely that anyone else would have such an aura.

Bai Qinghao sat down on the edge of the bed and pressed his large palm against Fang Xinxin’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Do you feel very uncomfortable?”

Although it was a question, he sounded very certain.

Earlier, he had already noticed her poor complexion downstairs.

She shook her head and breathed in the scent of ginger in the air. She opened her eyes to see that he was holding a bowl in his hands.

“I made brown sugar ginger tea. Have some before you sleep.” His cold, heavy voice sounded slightly gentle.

She sat up and leaned back against the bed frame. He considerately placed some pillows behind her back. His movements were very natural as though they were a couple who had lived together for many years.

“You made this yourself?” she asked softly.

Due to the pain in her abdomen, she was not in the mood to be mischievous.

“En.” He nodded slightly and lifted the spoon to her lips. “Open your mouth.”

His tone was soft and coaxing. She could not help but feel deeply moved. “Bai Qinghao, you shouldn’t treat me so well.”

He looked at her as though this was only normal. “You’re my fiancée. My lifelong partner. If I don’t treat you well, who should I be treating well?”

She smiled in contentment.

Even though he was outstanding in so many ways, whenever she needed him, he was always this thoughtful and considerate.

She had likely found the most amazing man in this world!

As he fed her spoonfuls of the mixture, she felt her heart melting in a bliss.

That night, Fang Xinxin fell asleep in Bai Qinghao’s arms. He did not do anything to her and only held her firmly.

The two of them were thoroughly exhausted and quickly fell into deep sleep.

…

In a certain hospital room in the city centre, Long Shuhai, Fang Lilan and Fang Manxue laid side-by-side in separate hospital beds.

Fang Manxue had been injured in her earlier conflict with the students from Jing Hua University. She was currently unconscious.

Fang Lilan was also resting silently.

Long Shuhai however, bemoaned his circumstances endlessly. His loud voice nearly echoed through the entire building. “Aiyo, the pain is killing this old man! God only knows who I provoked. They beat me up so badly, all of my bones are nearly shattered. Aiyo…”

Fang Lilan glared at Long Shuhai. “Be quiet. You’ve been whining the entire night. Isn’t it enough? You’ll disturb Manxue’s rest!”

Long Shuhai grumbled. “I’m doing this because I really can’t endure the pain!”

“Although you’ve offended quite many people, you’re still Fang Xinxin’s second uncle. The news about Fang Xinxin being Bai Qinghao’s fiancée has already been released. Most people wouldn’t dare to openly attack you.” Fang Lilan furrowed her brows to think. “Who would have the guts to do this?”

“How should I know? I already told you, I went back to the Fang home to pick up some fresh sets of clothing and toiletries for you and Manxue. I was on the way back to the hospital when several young men intercepted me and beat me up. I didn’t even manage to see their faces clearly!”

As Long Shuhai said this, he suddenly recalled. “When I returned to the Fang home, I met Bai Qinghao who was looking for Fang Xinxin. Afterwards, I shared my opinion about Fang Xinxin’s decision to visit you. All our neighbours felt that Fang Xinxin was too unfilial. But I didn’t expect Bai Qinghao to stand up for Fang Xinxin.”

“Could it have been Bai Qinghao who did it then?” Fang Lilan looked at him as though he was foolish. She felt both anger and heartache welling up inside her. “You should know how much Bai Qinghao protects Fang Xinxin. Unless you are certain that you are holding onto her weakness, it would be best if you use other people to attack her in the future.”
