Chapter 7: The Dramatic Heart Exchange (Seven)
Upon hearing these words, Mo Chengtang's expression changed, and Huang Baoshan was momentarily stunned. Then she shook her head and choked out, "Miss Bai, I... I didn't mean it that way. I... I truly want to donate my heart to you..." No one is truly unafraid of death. Huang Baoshan had always been sustaining herself with the belief that her life would fulfill the love between her and Mo Chengtang. Every day, she hypnotized herself, continuously persuading herself to suppress that fear. At this moment, she was first frightened to the point of trembling by what Bai's father had said about taking her heart on the spot, and now Bai He was telling her not to donate her heart. She felt a sense of relief, but thinking about her relationship with Mo Chengtang, she began to feel somewhat guilty.
My heart is not well, so I cannot afford to shout in excitement, unless you all are deliberately trying to make me faint today. Bai He coldly glanced at Huang Baoshan, who was kneeling in front of her. Thinking about how these two were using the pretext of donating their hearts to her, they ended up brazenly entangled with each other. Huang Baoshan died, and in the end, Mo Chengtang obtained the Bai family but did not have a good outcome for himself. Just looking at these two was somewhat vexing.
If it were not for the difficulties imposed on him by Bai Fu and Bai Mu today, he might not have completely leaned towards Huang Baoshan. However, with the words spoken by Bai Fu and Bai Mu earlier, Mo Chengtang increasingly found the girl kneeling before Bai He to be somewhat endearing.
"Miss Huang, I am not dead yet, so why are you bowing to me?" She did not harbor any intense hatred towards Huang Baoshan, and upon learning the outcome, she felt no sympathy for her. After all, in the end, she chose to die for a man, to become the cinnabar mole on his chest at the moment he remembered her most deeply; this was Huang Baoshan's own choice. Baihe had never forced her into it. In fact, even if the final result was death, in Baihe's eyes, she was not a good person.
"Shan Shan disregards her own safety to donate her heart to you; how can you bear to see her kneeling before you?" In contrast, Huang Baoshan not only obeys him completely but also allows him to take the lead in their intimate moments, which gives Mo Chengtang a taste of what it means to be a man, making his feelings towards Huang Baoshan somewhat different.
At this moment, Bai Fu picked up a stack of photos that were turned face down on the table and threw them at Mo Chengtang, saying: "Originally, out of consideration for our past relationship, I wasn't planning to make things ugly for everyone. Since you dare to flaunt a woman in front of us, I see no reason to spare you any face now." The stack of photos flew through the air, some hitting Mo Chengtang's face. However, at this moment, Mo Chengtang did not dare to cry out in pain; he suppressed the feeling of humiliation in his heart and reached out to grab a few photos that had slid down from his face, glancing at them.
"Xiao He, do not be willful..." Mo Chengtang was taken aback, and then felt a bit flustered. His thoughts were similar to those of Huang Baoshan; he believed that since he had found a heart for Bai He, she would undoubtedly want to live. This was why he dared to agree to Huang Baoshan's request. In fact, although Huang Baoshan was not particularly attractive, as a man, knowing that a woman was willing to sacrifice her life for him, and that her final request was simply to be in a relationship with him, was a sentiment that no man could refuse. Such humble love offered by a woman could make any man feel proud to accept it, and he was no exception.

"Xiao He, how could you be so heartless?" Mo Chengtang, upon witnessing Bai He’s indifferent demeanor, could hardly believe that this was the obedient and compliant Bai He he had always envisioned, who had never shown any signs of resistance in front of him. He had only just entered and had already endured so much humiliation from her parents, yet Bai He merely stood by, showing no intention of speaking up for him. Mo Chengtang had been a bit anxious earlier and had not considered this point, but now that he realized it, he felt a sense of displeasure in his heart.
However, it is a fact that he is now in a relationship with Huang Baoshan. If Baihe does not accept Huang Baoshan's heart, then his initial good intentions for Baihe will instead be perceived as having ulterior motives. No wonder Bai's father was so angry just now
In the past, she was so self-righteous that she even dared to say that after starting a relationship with Mo Chengtang, she would still come to see his fiancée. She only had the audacity to do so because she believed she could exchange her life for a way out. She thought that Baihe was dependent on her, believing she was in a superior position, which gave her the courage to act this way. But now, Baihe unexpectedly said she did not want her heart. While she breathed a sigh of relief, thoughts of her relationship with Mo Chengtang made her feel somewhat guilty again
Knowing that Mo Chengtang already has a fiancée, to still propose being his girlfriend for half a year is enough for Baihe to look down on her. A normal woman with a proper worldview would likely not do such a thing. Moreover, Huang Baoshan is foolish enough to be willing to sacrifice her life for love, which is even more incomprehensible to Baihe. From the very beginning, she has not understood such matters, and naturally, she feels no emotional fluctuation at all seeing Huang Baoshan kneeling before her now.
Although the floor in Baijia is covered with wooden planks, due to the weather conditions, a thick carpet has not yet been laid. At this moment, when Huang Baoshan knelt down, the sound alone was enough to convey how much pain she was in. Bai Mu was taken aback, while Bai He had already started to laugh.
Originally, enjoying the blessings of a harmonious life and being able to inherit the wealth of many families is a good thing. At the beginning, he was entirely motivated by the intention of considering Baihe's interests.
"My daughter, you don't need to be taught a lesson by him." The more Bai Fu looked at Mo Chengtang, the more he felt that he was a worthless person. At this moment, seeing the woman he brought dare to provoke his daughter, and understanding the implication in his daughter's words, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at Huang Baoshan
Miss Huang, I hope you do not attempt to curse my daughter with any actions and provoke me. Believe me, you absolutely cannot bear the consequences of such an outcome. Father Bai suppressed his anger, and seeing Huang Baoshan's bewildered expression, he hurriedly ordered his servants to drag her away. He did not regard Huang Baoshan as significant, but he did not wish for her to cause discomfort to Bai He.
Miss Huang, I believe you two need not engage in any underhanded dealings in the name of my affairs. I do not require your heart, nor will I take the heart of a living person. If this were to get out, what would people say about our family? Since you have feelings for Mo Chengtang, I shall grant you that. I no longer want Mo Chengtang; I will give him to you. In the memories left by Baihe, she recalls knowing that Mo Chengtang is a person with a very strong sense of pride. At this moment, she deliberately spoke again: "Miss Huang, after putting in so much effort, you have finally won Mo Chengtang's affection. It must feel quite good."
