Xie Wanwan looked at her as if she had seen a ghost. âYouâre not in the least concerned?â
âCheng Xin is not the first person who mentioned this.â Xiang Wan showed a calm smile. âBesides, why should I mind? Although back in ancient times, such hatred and grudge might mean that a pair of lovers would never be togetherâŠâ
Xiang Wan paused for a moment.
âThis is actually totally unfounded. But letâs assume that this matter is true - Miss Xie, how many years has the Qing Dynasty been gone? What has the younger generation got to do with the older generation?â
Xie Wanwan pressed her lips tightly together.
In just a few sentences, she was unable to utter another word.
The Xiang Wan before her seemed to have become another person.
In Xie Wanwanâs heart, this Xiang Wan was completely different from the girl in Jin City who loved to wear white clothes. It was like they werenât the same person at all.
âMiss Xie, do you still have anything else to say?â Xiang Wan smiled. âIf thereâs nothing else, then do rest early. Youâre a busy person, creating billion-dollar deals every day from the moment you wake up. Thank you for your concern and donât worry about me.â
Then she turned and walked away.
Xie Wanwan stayed at her spot.
Slowly, she pulled out another cigarette!
Click! The flame from the lighter danced about.
There was no other sound.
That night seemed to be quieter than most.
When Xiang Wan returned to the bedroom, Bai Muchuan had finished taking a bath. His hair was still damp and he was working on his laptop, with a hand holding a cigarette and his posture looked as if he was really relaxingâŠ
This was the second time that Xiang Wan was âforcedâ to take in second-hand smoke and her eyebrows were closely knitted together.
âWhat are you doing?â
Bai Muchuan looked up, his gaze brushing past her face. He hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette then fanned the air around him. After that, he showed a sneaky, secretive smile.
âIâm writing about my âhappinessâ.â
âI gotta hand in my homework or my wife is going to ignore me.â
Alright, his attitude was good as he was working on what he owed her.
Xiang Wan walked over for a glance. He really was writing the latest chapter for his novel, âThe White Listâ.
Her mood improved after she saw that. âI wonât disturb, so continue to write. Iâll go take a bath now.â
And she went to the bathroom.
After she was done, she blew dry her hair. Then she sat on the bed and noticed that Bai Muchuan was turning off his laptop.
Xiang Wan suddenly perked up in joy. âYou updated already?â
Bai Muchuan kept his laptop on the sofa. âOf course!â
âThatâs great!â Xiang Wan couldnât wait to check out the latest chapter. She quickly picked up her phoneâŠ
And was totally absorbed in reading it.
When Bai Muchuan walked over to her, she had no reaction at all.
When he pulled up the quilt and lie beside her, she also showed no reaction.
Bai Muchuanâs eyebrows were crumpled together. âEarlier on when you came in, was there something that you wanted to tell me?â
âOh, nothing!â Xiang Wanâs eyes were glued to the mobile phone screen. She didnât even lift her head to look at him. âThereâs nothing more important than reading Second Young Master Muâs novel.â
Bai Muchuan felt as if his gums were a little ticklish. âLittle Xiang Wan, are you asking for a beating?â
Xiang Wan was concentrating on reading and felt a hand land on her waist. She quickly caught it and flung it away. She also took the opportunity to give him a warning by showing him a peeved look. âFor goodness sake! Donât disturb me while Iâm reading⊠This is an opportunity to interact with Second Young Master Mu that is so hard to come by!â
He realized that he was green with jealousy.
Yet the identity that he hated and was jealous of, was Second Young Master Mu.
âHad I known, I wouldnât have written the chapter.â
âDonât! I canât help being this way. Iâve been waiting for your update for so long, itâs only normal that Iâm so eager to read itâŠâ Xiang Wan explained. As she didnât see any response from him, she reached out to get his hand which she flung earlier and placed it on her waist. âGo ahead, just squeeze however you likeâŠâ
What was the use of squeezing her?
The heart of his beloved was not on him at all.
A while later, he peered over.
âDonât tell me youâre mesmerized by the male protagonist?â
âThe way he solves the case is really awesome!â
ââŠâ Bai Muchuan laid straight on the bed like a zombie and looked directly at the ceiling. âItâs just a special ability granted by the Author. How can you believe that?â
âSo what if itâs granted? It makes me happy! Youâre not allowed to criticize my idol.â
Bai Muchuanâs feelings were complicated.
âIâve never thought before that my greatest love rival would actually be myselfâŠâ
âIsnât that great?â Xiang Wan chimed in casually, âIf itâs another man and you found yourself unable to match up to him, wouldnât that be worse?â
Three dark lines appeared at his forehead, like an emoji.
Sir Little Baiâs rage meter was almost full. Xiang Wan was still intrigued and immersed in reading the new chapter. She was completely oblivious to his emotions. When she finished reading the latest chapter, she also read the previous two chapters for some thinking. âTsk, tsk, tsk!â exclaimed Xiang Wan, who couldnât get enough of it. âI wish there were two updates every day!â
Hurhur! Bai Muchuan gave a sneer. âAre you sure you could take it if there were two chapters every day?â
Xiang Wanâs face immediately felt like it was burning when she thought of the condition of him updating a chapter.
Slowly, she put down her phone and looked at Bai Muchuan greedily like he was prey. She then seemed as if she had made a decision.
âFor the sake of reading your updates, Iâm willing to sacrifice my body! Come~Hero!â
Bai Muchuan then followed along and embraced her where they made a turn on the bed.
âLittle thing!â he teased, âyou donât care about having face anymore and decided to be shameless?â
â⊠Whatâs the use of having that? Just take it! I want to read more chapters!â
âAre you trying to anger me to death?â
âWhatâs the use of angering you to death? Can I inherit the rights to your novels?â
Bai Muchuan laughed again and didnât say anything else.
He held her up. As he felt the softness of her body, he seemed to have the mood and started to kiss and bite her.
Xiang Wan tittered and couldnât stop rolling about. âStop that! The next room, the next next room, the next next next room, might be able to hearâŠâ
âHey!â Xiang Wan was panting and gasping for air. She finally managed to break free and held his shoulders with a calmer, serious expression. âI almost forgot. Someone confessed to me earlier. Do you want to know who?â
Bai Muchuanâs body instantly went stiff. âWho is that?â
âTell me!â When Bai Muchuan wore a grim expression, he was like a jealous husband.
He stared at Xiang Wan coldly, as if knives were coming out from his eyes. âIf I know who that is, Iâll skin him alive!â
âHaha!â Xiang Wan was very satisfied with his reaction. She tucked her hair behind her ears and replied in a lazy tone. âItâs a pity that itâs a woman. I donât think youâll have the heart to skin her alive.â
She gave an account of what they talked about in the living room earlier to Bai Muchuan.
She gave an indifferent smile when she saw Bai Muchuanâs face turning cold.
âFrankly, Xie Wanwanâs a straightforward person. She didnât make an issue out of it but chose to tell me directly. Cheng Xin, on the other hand, I thought she was just similar to Bai Lu, a naive girl who doesnât know the ways of the world as their family protected them too well. Besides being wayward and spoilt, they are still basically kind at heart. I never expected that she would resort to such an underhanded method, as if sowing discord was not enough, she actually plotted to do harm through the hands of another!â
Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows. âSheâs the bad apple in Serious Crime Division One.â
