She panted heavily to catch her breath before asking him in confusion. “Improved?”

“You didn’t faint like the first time we kissed.” His voice was husky and thick from desire. A rare smile had appeared on his stern mouth.

“Hmph!” She harrumphed in embarrassment. “Can you not bring up such embarrassing matters!”

A hint of doting colored Bai Qinghao’s eyes. He pinched her cheek and said, “I’m praising you.”

Her entire being was awkward and shy. Thankfully, for the sake of avoiding him, she had previously tanned her skin on purpose. The burning blush on her cheeks could not be seen at the moment.

“Don’t look at me like that…”

“En?” Bai Qinghao did not understand.

“If you look at me like that, I’ll misunderstand that you’re looking at a really beautiful girl!” She cried out in embarrassment.

“Hahaha…” Bai Qinghao’s laugh held a tinge of delight.

Fang Xinxin was dazed by the sight.

After combining both her lives, this was still her first time seeing Bai Qinghao laugh.

This sight was genuinely sufficient to ruin the world. Why was he so attractive and alluring? Ridiculously handsome from every angle!

This queen was going to marry him even if the cost was her life!

Bai Qinghao saw that Fang Xinxin was staring blankly at him and waved his hand in front of her. “Why are you in a daze?”

“You look really handsome when you laugh!” Fang Xinxin hugged his arm coquettishly and discovered that his body was as firm as steel.

Upon hearing this, the grooves around Bai Qinghao’s lips deepened.

However, for someone like Bai Qinghao, even when he smiled, he appeared like a forest that had been frozen for thousands of years.

But Fang Xinxin was content with this much for now. After all, in their previous life, she had believed that Bai Qinghao was someone who would never smile.

“Little girl, your mouth is becoming sweeter by the day.” He pinched her cheek again.

It seemed like he enjoyed pinching her. Her skin was smooth and soft and he loved the sensation.

She rubbed the slightly aching skin. “You’re troubling me again. Didn’t you already taste my lips already? Hmph!”

“Umm… the taste was definitely not bad.” The naked desire couldn’t be concealed in his ink-black pupils. He stared at her swollen lips and was itching to devour her again. “Fang Xinxin, are you seducing me?”

“No!” She shook her head like a little pellet drum.

She noticed that there were several people crowding around them and whispering among themselves.

There were around ten of them and all of them were giving her looks of disdain, as though she was insulting the attractive male idol by standing next to him.

“Why has the idol paired up with a toad…” Their voices were extremely soft, but Fang Xinxin still managed to hear them.

There was no confusion in her head about their meaning. Fang Xinxin understood that they were referring to her as the ‘toad’.

The idol was definitely Bai Qinghao.

This was the second time she appeared in a public space with Bai Qinghao. On both occasions, she was thoroughly insulted. She really felt depressed. If only she could regain her good looks right now!

She was just about to lose her temper when Bai Qinghao’s eyes shifted onto the crowd. His gaze was frigid and sharp like an icicle.

Everyone appeared to be frozen in their spots, no one dared to speak up.

“She’s my woman! Whoever dares to speak nonsense again shall never get to utter another word for the rest of their lives!” Bai Qinghao’s tone was blatantly threatening.

His intimidating aura ensured that no one would doubt his words. The quiet discussion immediately died away.

Fang Xinxin was deeply moved. She lifted her chest proudly. “Did you hear that? The emperor says that this empress was made for him!”
