Muchuan And Xiang Wan

The corners of her lips turned upwards and she raised her chin slightly.

"I saw a reflection of myself in him, and finally realized that I"m actually the same as him. Ye Lun and I are meant to be together; we"re totally a match."

Bai Muchuan looked at her coldly. "Then why didn"t you go to him?"

Xie Wanwan paused for a moment. "If he could help me out, I wouldn"t be here in the first place. Little Bai, with our friends.h.i.+p, even if it"s just for a few days, do you need to interrogate me like a suspect?"

Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Finally, he didn"t continue on this topic.

"So what about Ye Lun? Does he also feel that this arrangement is appropriate?"

Xie Wanwan let out a laugh and looked at him with her eyebrows raised.

"Your question is strange. Little Bai, you"re not the type of person who pokes around nor interferes with other people"s private lives."

Bai Muchuan snorted, "This is the last time I ask you this, as a friend."

The last time?

Xie Wanwan"s smile froze on her face.

After some silence, she laughed again.

"Yup. Coincidentally, he does feel that this is fine. Rest a.s.sured, I"m not interested in you, nor am I interested in coming in between you and Xiang Wan. Actually, I like her a lot. If I have a chance to start over again, I want to live my life like her."

Bai Muchuan scrutinized her and nodded his head slowly.

After that, he left.

…

…

Bai Muchuan had just arrived downstairs when he received a message.

"Sir Little Bai, you seem to be a little mischievous?"

Hur!

Bai Muchuan"s cold and serious expression instantly became gentler.

He raised his eyebrows, hopped into the car and messaged Xiang Wan back.

"What do you want to ask, huh?"

Xiang Wan: "I"m upset."

Bai Muchuan: "Upset?"

Xiang Wan: "Yeah. Just now you were outside with my love rival, what were you muttering about with her?"

Looking at the messages that showed up on the screen, Bai Muchuan let out a chortle.

"Teacher Xiang, I thought you"re a woman who wouldn"t get jealous. After all, you have always been so confident about your own looks…"

"Hurhur!" Xiang Wan deliberately tried to sound jealous. "So you mean before our Superstar Xie, my looks are good enough?"

"Of course, even if all the beauties around the world are here, they still couldn"t hold a candle to you. In my heart, my Teacher Xiang is the one and only."

"As if! Tch!"

"You don"t believe it? Fine then, wait for me. I"ll come back right away and prove myself to you before her presence."

"Cut it out." Xiang Wan refused to believe him. "If you"re not willing to let her move in, you wouldn"t have agreed earlier. Sir Little Bai, just tell me, did you harbor any ill intentions?"

"Aren"t you silly?"

"I am."

"Aye! Then I"ll come back right away and let her leave this instant!"

Pffft! Xiang Wan burst out laughing.

"You"re actually the silly one. What I mean is, did you agree to her request because of the case? Or do you believe that her life might really be in danger because of this case?"

"Well… it"s actually a bit of both."

"What bit of both? Explain clearly."

"Half of it is because of the case. The other half… is because of our friends.h.i.+p."

Xiang Wan: "Orh, your friends.h.i.+p is really deep. Indeed, friends that have been through life and death."

The words that were shown on the screen were pale and cold. It was tough for Bai Muchuan to directly feel her current emotions.

He puffed a sigh and the typing speed was faster.

"Do you need me to provide you with further explanation?"

Xiang Wan was smiling; her typing speed also became faster but more light-hearted. "It"s enough. Hurry up and go to work."

Bai Muchuan looked at the time and fastened his seat belt. "Okay then, I"m driving now. I"ll leave it to you to handle things at home. Call me anytime if there"s any problem."

"Got it!"

"Love you."

"…"

That was certainly unexpected.

Xiang Wan"s heart skipped a beat as she held her phone.

She broke into a smile.

This guy!

When he was sweet, he could instantly charm any girl out there!

"Be safe." She messaged slowly. "If you have time to come back for dinner, I"ll make you some delicious food! Focus on your driving. Don"t reply to this."

…

Xiang Wan was a little uncomfortable as there was suddenly an addition of three more people in the house.

She was more uncomfortable with the fact that Blackie, who had not yet accustomed himself to the new environment, was being cuddled, patted and stroked by three strangers. She had a feeling as if her newly ripe chives got harvested by others and she didn"t feel good.

Xiang Wan stayed in her bedroom for quite a while. After she corrected her mood, she exited with a smile and was preparing to go out to get more groceries.

"Miss Xie, I"m going out to get some groceries and make something nice for all of you… Just make yourselves at home."

Xie Wanwan seemed to feel awkward after hearing that.

"Umm… there"s no need to."

After that, she turned to her two a.s.sistants and asked Xiang Wan hesitatingly.

"I need to trouble you with something."

Xiang Wan turned to her. "Mm? Please say it."

"If you"re not at home, it"s quite inappropriate for us to stay here." Xie Wanwan seemed a little hesitant. "I have something on this afternoon as well and will be going out soon. There"s no need for you to prepare our meals… Just that, when you go downstairs, I need your help to see if there are any paparazzi or people lurking around this place. If you saw them, is it okay for you to inform me…?"

Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows. "But the thing is, I don"t know how to differentiate between paparazzi and normal people."

Xie Wanwan: "…"

"People who behave suspiciously, looking sneaky or loiter around the place," continued Xie Wanwan, "for instance, they might be hiding inside their car, with their cameras. Or they might pretend to be pa.s.sersby and walk around casually outside the neighborhood…"

"Actually… I have a problem that almost anyone I see seems to behave suspiciously."

"…" Xie Wanwan felt awkward.

Xiang Wan pursed her lips slightly to smile at her.

"Don"t think too much. Since you"re already here, just stay here and be at ease."

Things had already reached this state.

There was no point in making everyone feel uncomfortable.

Bai Muchuan also mentioned that he was fine with this arrangement because of his friends.h.i.+p with Xie Wanwan. As Bai Muchuan"s girlfriend, she should try to maintain the friends.h.i.+p between them too.

It was for the sake of trust.

Xiang Wan then left the house.

While at the entrance of the neighborhood, Xiang Wan made an effort to see if there was anyone lurking around or behaving suspiciously, as described by Xie Wanwan…

The end result didn"t disappoint her.

There really were such people around.

She noticed that there were three figures inside a car parked at the corner of the street. They didn"t get out of the car at all…

The pa.s.sersby outside the neighborhood, maybe it was the work of her sensitivity, seemed to be behaving suspiciously as well.

Xiang Wan cleared her throat slightly and put on her shades, walking away casually. She then sent Xie Wanwan a message.

"You better be careful. If it"s not something important, don"t go out. I saw suspicious people outside."

"Thank you." Xie Wanwan replied fast.

Xiang Wan sent a smiling emoji and walked towards the pathway with more people.

…

When she arrived at the supermarket, as she had three guests now, she thought she should buy more ingredients.

However, when she reached home with the groceries, Xie Wanwan and her two a.s.sistants were nowhere to be seen.

Xiang Wan: "…"

The house was tidy and clean. They helped to water her plants and even mopped the floor. Even Blackie"s carrier was brushed and free of cat fur.
