His breathing was like the winds that brought warmth.
As they fell gently on her head, Xiang Wan felt her heart skipping a beat.
Xiang Wan calmed herself down so she could ask a question instead of replying to him when she was under the âattackâ of his charming smile.
âWhy didnât you tell me earlier that youâre coming?â
Bai Muchuan smiled. âI wanted to give you a birthday surprise!â
Xiang Wan lowered her head slightly. âItâs more of a shockâŠâ
She said it slowly, dragging it a little as if she was unhappy about something.
â⊠Iâm sorry, Little Xiang Wan!â
Bai Muchuan did not want to say that initially. It was just that when he saw Xiang Wan had lost weight and looked pallid, he couldnât help but apologize.
He was not with her in her time of need.
When she had to face the flood of malicious comments directed at her online because of the ranking wars, he was not beside her as well.
Her eyes reddened, and she did not look at him.
Bai Muchuan lifted her chin slowly, so both of them could look into each otherâs eyes.
âNope.â Xiang Wan bit her lower lip. âIn fact, youâve come at the right time.â
There were some difficulties in life that one could only depend on themselves to get over it.
That was something she could only get over by herself.
Xiang Wan asked, âHave you been waiting for a long time?â
Bai Muchuan blinked, his dark-colored eyes under his long eyelashes were filled with fatigue, but his gaze was still dazzling. âNot very long, I wanted to come in the morning, but because of some work matters, I changed my flight to a later time. Iâm actually worried that you might blame me for being lateâŠâ
âIâm sorry, Little Xiang Wan. I didnât know if this surprise is⊠enough for you? Are you angry with me?â
His techniques for coaxing girls had already maxed out.
Hmph! Hmph! Xiang Wan snorted softly like a cat and tugged at his sleeve.
âFine, I received your surprise, so are you going to be standing here the whole night?â
âIf we donât stand here, where do you want to go? Mm?â
Bai Muchuan smiled at her meaningfully.
It seemed that Xiang Wan could tell what he was thinking. She scrunched up her nose at him. âIâll go back to sleep, and youâll stay here to feed the mosquitoes!â
âCould you bear to do this to me?â He seemed to want to look at Xiang Wanâs face with the faint, dim surrounding lights.
Xiang Wanâs heart suddenly raced!
Bai Muchuanâs handsome face seemed to have become even more attractive after not seeing him for half a month.
She could feel the work of hormones while looking at his weary smileâŠ
âI can.â It was difficult for her to squeeze out those two words.
âYou serious?â Bai Muchuan coaxed her. âDonât be angry, okay?â
Xiang Wanâs heart already melted since earlier.
She puffed a sigh and shook her head. âIâm just joking! Iâm not angry at all!â
âGive me a kiss then.â He requested.
âNo!â Xiang Wan felt flustered. âWeâre outside, itâs too embarrassing!â
âWhatâs there to be embarrassed about?â Bai Muchuan stroked her face with a smile. âBesides, do you see anyone else here?â
Indeed, there wasnât anyone in sight!
Even if there was, they were headed towards the small pub.
Their current position was hidden in the shadow of the small pub and behind them was a store that sells ancient-styled accessories and costumes. It had a wooden corridor in the doorway with red-painted pillars. Both of them were âhidingâ behind the pillars while they looked at the flourishing small pub not too far away; watching the changing color of the drizzle as they stood under the eavesâŠ
Bai Muchuanâs style was very different that dayâŠ
This new image was also very dashing as well!
Xiang Wan couldnât help but tip-toed to give a kiss on his cheeks gently.
âHere too!â Bai Muchuan turned the other side of his face, smiling as he shamelessly asked for more kisses.
ââŠâ Xiang Wan kissed him again.
âHere as well!â He then pointed at his lips.
The corners of the manâs lips curved slightly; his contour line was exquisite, gentle and sexyâŠ
There were too many beautiful lips in the world and everyone had their own preference. However, Xiang Wan always felt that Bai Muchuanâs lips⊠was the type that women wanted to kiss the most.
Both of them stared into each otherâs eyes, and she finally decided to give him a peck on his lips.
That cautious look of hers amused Bai Muchuan greatly.
He tried to control his urge to smile. When her face drew close toward him, he suddenly held the back of her head. He had gained control of that moment, kissing her pink lips he had been missing all this timeâŠ
âUhmâŠâ Xiang Wan stared at him with her big eyes.
âHur!â Bai Muchuan chuckled. âClose your eyes! Silly!â
ââŠâ Subconsciously, Xiang Wan listened to him.
The next moment, she heard him saying: âYou must have missed me so much all this time, right?â
ââŠâ Was he trying to be annoying again?
Xiang Wan replied with a scoff, âAre you saying that you donât miss me?â
âOf course I do! Otherwise, I wouldnât have delivered myself here just to see youâŠ?â
Pffft! The way he said that sentence cracked her up.
She suddenly felt so sweetâŠ
He âdeliveredâ himself here!
It felt perfect when used on the night of her birthday.
âAlright, Mr. Parcel.â Xiang Wan blinked. âWhat shall we do next?â
Bai Muchuan patted Xiang Wanâs hair. âYou donât have the slightest idea?â
âNope.â Xiang Wan pretended to be dumb.
A smile flickered in his eyes, and he tapped on her nose gently. âWell, I updated a chapter in advance today.â
He actually believed in the joke she spoke of that day.
âWhat do you mean? I donât understand.â Xiang Wan pretended that she didnât get it.
âUpdate a chapter every time we do it. Did you forget?â Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows.
âMaybe Iâm suffering from memory loss?â
Bai Muchuan was smiling so radiantly that his eyes started shining brightly.
âIâm such an endearing guy; I even sent myself here, yet you are pretending that you lost your memory? Little nymph, you need to be taught a lesson!â
Xiang Wan felt her scalp feeling numb.
The words âlittle nymphâ sounds just nice!
She teased him. âSo Second Young Master Mu is preparing to write romance fiction?â
Hmph ! Bai Muchuan held her hand with more strength. âI only wanted to tell you that youâve got a debt to pay!â
ââŠâ Xiang Wan didnât know how to reply.
He held her waist tightly and wrapped her into his arms, leaving her completely immobilized.
His lips were against hers and he kissed her lightlyâŠ
What Xiang Wan could feel was his pleasant breath and her own pounding heartbeat.
âYou⊠how can you do this!?â
She gasped for breath and finally had the time to say something.
âYou want to be unreasonable!?â
He quickly took her lips and parted her mouth, sending wild tremors along her nerves. The kiss was so hot that she felt like she was melting.
Under the dim lights, there were occasionally one or two passersby with an umbrella walking past, and when they saw them under the shadow of the eaves, they would stride off in haste.
Xiang Wan was so embarrassed that she wanted to push him.
âBai Muchuan⊠there are people aroundâŠâ
Bai Muchuan was engrossed in the kiss.
The natural disparity of strength between men and women gradually left her powerlessâŠ
And softened in his armsâŠ
As well as in the gentle rainâŠ
He had already booked the hotel in advance.
It was Bai Muchuanâs usual style.
Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation; he would definitely choose the best.
Both of them did not take a cab but strolled along the street in the drizzling weather for about 500 meters then made a turn before arriving at the hotelâŠ
From the dimly lit street to the brightly lit hotel, Xiang Wan felt a moment of discomfort.
âDo you have a feeling that weâre having a secret affair?â Bai Muchuan laughed as he asked.
âUgh!â Xiang Wan contemplated for a moment and suddenly pouted. âWeâre not married yet so yeah, maybeâŠâ
â⊠Mm, itâs so exciting, right!?â
âBleh! Men are the ones who like it. Women prefer peace and steadiness.â
Bai Muchuan looked at her meaningfully, he held her waist tightly and lowered the cap he had just put on her head.
âYour head is not big, but you have such complicated thoughts!â
âBleh! Whose thoughts are complicated?â
â⊠Donât be anxious, I know you couldnât wait!â
âYouâre shameless! Shameless Number One!â
âDarling, thank you for your compliment!â
Bai Muchuan was always the one who took the initiative between them.
Throughout the entire process, Xiang Wan was a little dizzyâŠ
When did she enter the hotel? How did she enter the lift? While thinking about it all, she had a feeling that the entire thing felt so surreal.
She thought she was having a dream!
That his gentleness was intoxicating her.
The two glasses of red wine she drank on her birthday were the catalystâŠ
She felt that she was drunk throughout.
The rain was still sprinkling outside the window.
They could only hear the sounds of their breath.
A scene that was almost a carbon copy of a scene in a movieâa hot bath, dense mist, soft sofa, white bed sheets, and his handsome faceâŠ
Xiang Wan felt like her soul and body had already separated a long time ago, but she was unsure when it happened.
He was the sharp weapon that split and tore her apartâŠ
He was also the one who completed her.
She felt as if she had recovered a piece of her she had lostâŠ
The unreal feeling of flying in the clouds stirred deep within her soul.
âHow about⊠I want to hear you call me âhubbyâ?â
Xiang Wan opened her mouth, but she was not used to it.
âAh!â Bai Muchuan laughed; there was a drop of sweat dripping on his forehead as he buried his head on her shoulders. His behavior was so different from his usual calm and disciplined demeanor.
Half a month of separationâŠ
Half a month of missing each otherâŠ
Half a month of not making out with each otherâŠ
At this moment, they had fulfilled all these needs.
The feeling of losing control like a roller coaster made Xiang Wan feel a little scared and confusedâŠ
â⊠I wonât, I will not let you have your way.â
With a smile, he intensified his âattacksâ.
â⊠Are you going to call me that or not?â
âHey, relax. Itâs just that Iâm not used to itâŠâ Xiang Wan spoke her mind.
In her life so far, she had called no one her âhubbyâ.
Even though she really loved him, she was still feeling somewhat uneasy.
âHow about thisâŠ?â Bai Muchuan murmured at her ear.
Mm? In Xiang Wanâs screams, he suddenly caught her finger, and retrieved something from under the pillow, a shiny little thing flashed across her eyes. It was a ring! He put the ring on her finger, fitting nicely just like the two of themâŠ
âBai Muchuan, what are you doing?â This stunned Xiang Wan.
âXiang Wan, marry me!â Bai Muchuan looked at her cheeks that were suffused with a reddish hue. There were tiny beads of perspiration on his forehead, and his tone sounded especially calm and serious.
âLetâs get married once we solved this case, okay?â
