Chapter 579: A Straight Face

How did she feel?

What did she feel?

Xiang Wan pursed her lips for a moment, raised her head slightly and looked straight at him. She looked gentle and calm with a smile.

“Of course I don’t believe in what she told me!”

“Why is that so?” Bai Muchuan asked again.

“You’re strange! Why should I believe her?” Xiang Wan put her hands on his neck and looked at his eyes. “Do you want me to believe her?”

“I get it now.” Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. “It must be because of my good looks that made you have enough confidence!”

Hmm…

Did he get possessed by Quan Shaoteng?

“Huh?” Xiang Wan couldn’t stand him looking all smug. The next second, she snickered.

“As if!”

Xiang Wan snorted, took a glance at him and started to draw circles on his chest using a finger. “Alright,” she spoke in a smiling tone, “I have two reasons for not believing in her.”

The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips lifted upwards.

He liked Xiang Wan for being serious and rational when required.

But when she was all serious, he felt like laughing.

“Tell me about it!”

“Firstly, it’s too much of a coincidence,” explained Xiang Wan, “she sounded like she was making up a story and the credibility was too low. I’ve also told you that this girl really likes you a lot, which makes me instinctively throw out whatever she says.

“The second reason is—I did a check that when my dad died, your mom was still alive and kicking. How would he be able to do anything to your mom? She’s just spouting nonsense.”

Bai Muchuan was relieved to hear that.

He pulled her over and kissed her on the forehead.

“Your analysis is right. This Master is glad.”

“What?” Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. “Who’s the Master?”

“What do you think?” Bai Muchuan pinched her waist lightly.

“Of course it’s me…” Xiang Wan caught his hands and was grinning away as she tickled his armpit. “Come, Little Bai, call me Master!”

“…”

“Come on!”

She tried hard to tickle him.

However, was Bai Muchuan someone who would easily admit defeat?

There wasn’t the slightest hint to suggest he felt ticklish at all. He suddenly pulled her towards him, did a turn and both of them now swapped positions. He imitated her earlier action and started to tickle her.

“Who is the Master? Mm?”

“…”

“Tell me, Little Xiang Wan. Who’s the Master?”

“Hahahahaha… Ahhhh…”

Xiang Wan couldn’t stand being tickled.

She struggled and her tears almost came out.

“You’re the Master! Okay, okay, you’re the Master!”

“Come on! Call me ‘Master’.”

“… Hahaha! Bai Muchuan, you, Master fat hope!”

…

Bai Lu’s sudden visit did not have any impact on Xiang Wan at all.

Moreover, the one who left in a huff and burst into tears was Bai Lu herself.

This young girl was no match for Xiang Wan.

It was pretty evident that Bai Lu did not want Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan to be an item. In order to sow discord between the two, she added a lot of illogical details and made it sound like a novel…

Xiang Wan was a logical person.

She would analyze what she heard.

What Bai Lu told her was too fake.

It was so fake that it didn’t sound credible at all.

Hence, she did not put this matter to heart, and treated it as a joke when she told Bai Muchuan about it.

Her nonchalant reaction completely loosened Bai Muchuan’s nerves.

You understand me.

I understand you.

You agree with me.

I pamper you.

This was probably the best way for men and women to get along.

Besides, their values, views and opinions on ethics and life were basically the same.

They take relationships seriously and don’t like to pretend.

If there is a problem, solve it. If there are matters to attend to, attend to it directly.

They were now a couple. They would try their best to trust each other and not cause trouble or trouble each other.

This was the case especially for Xiang Wan.

Before she got into a relationship with Bai Muchuan, she had thought about what would happen in the future, allowing countless possibilities that might happen between the two. Then she gave herself a psychological boundary – if any of those scenarios happened, would she be able to take it?

If it was a ‘yes’, then go for it.

After preparing herself, she knew that she wanted to be with him and they even cohabited. She was sensible enough not to throw tantrums and not be petty and wilful. If she encountered any conflicts and problems, she would take the initiative to communicate with him so as to resolve the problem between them.

In other words, she was sensible.

Bai Muchuan happened to like this kind of girl.

He didn’t have that much energy to spend on guessing and coaxing.

He could pamper a girl as if she was a princess. However, she had to have the traits of a noble and kind princess first… And that does not mean the Princess Syndrome.

After the communication they had, when it was dawn, the two of them had already reached a tacit agreement.

They would forget about this matter and do what they were supposed to do.

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

Bai Muchuan accompanied Xiang Wan to get Blackie back.

Blackie was being transported to the Capital by Fang Yuanyuan before Lunar New Year after the medical checkup. However, when Blackie arrived in the Capital, Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan happened to go back to Jin City. Hence, Zhan Se helped to take Blackie in and the kitty stayed with them for a few days.

Before they went, Bai Muchuan prepared a bunch of gifts.

When they left Zhan Se’s home, his car trunk was almost full.

It was because Zhan Se had bought a lot of toys and cat food for Blackie…

In just three days, Zhan Se had treated Blackie as their family pet…

Nevertheless, as there were kids at home, she didn’t insist on keeping the cat.

Bai Muchuan took Blackie with him.

He also took with him a bachelor dog—Quan Shaoteng.

This guy was a young, unmarried man who lived in his elder brother’s house all year round…

Bai Muchuan sent Xiang Wan and Blackie back home first while the two men headed to Serious Crime Division One.

It was the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

But they had already started work.

For the detectives, it was a career that required working all year round.

An Ying and all his men that were caught had been sent back to the Capital.

They had to conduct interrogation on all these people.

Before Bai Muchuan went away, he told Xiang Wan that he would be back home late.

Xiang Wan believed him.

In the end, he was not late but he never came back home.

When Xiang Wan saw Bai Muchuan again, it was already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year…

That evening, Xiang Wan had just uploaded her chapter when Bai Muchuan came back home.

“I have a dinner gathering with the team. I want to bring you along with me.”

Xiang Wan frowned at him.

“So you know you’ve neglected your precious darling!”

“…” Bai Muchuan smiled when he heard that.

He had continuously worked for two days and he seemed rather worn out. But when he saw Xiang Wan, he felt guilty and gave her an embrace. “Let’s go, don’t let them wait for too long.”

“Mm. Wait a while, I’ll get changed first.”

With regards to Serious Crime Division One’s interrogation of An Ying and his henchmen, Xiang Wan was full of curiosity about what he would say.

Without another word, she quickly got changed and went out with Bai Muchuan.

“Let’s talk as we go.”

“Talk about what?” Bai Muchuan turned for a glance.

“About the case.” Xiang Wan took his arm with a grin. “If the detectives are going to have a dinner gathering to celebrate, there must be something that’s worth a celebration, am I right?”

Bai Muchuan patted her head with a laugh.

“Of course, I’m the one who interrogated An Ying.”

Wow, someone’s getting arrogant!

Xiang Wan couldn’t stop giggling. “Tell me then, what happened?”

“An Ying confessed!”

“He confessed?” Xiang Wan frowned for a moment. “So, this matter is really related to Xie Wanwan?”

“Xie Wanwan?” Bai Muchuan gave her a glance, his eyebrows furrowed in thought.

“You didn’t know about the gossip?” Xiang Wan observed his expression and spoke in a calm tone. “For the past two days, the netizens had been attacking her, claiming that she had participated in the ‘zombie’ case. There were even people who produced proof that they were being brainwashed by her fans and unwittingly joined Operation Heaven’s Wrath…”
