Muchuan And Xiang Wan

Moreover, they had different degrees of acceptance of new things.

Regarding this aspect, Xiang Wan could understand that deeply.

"I understand," she sympathized with Tang Yuanchu. "But, it can"t be helped. We can"t control their mouths, no one can. We can only endure and tolerate!"

"It"s not a question of tolerance!"

Tang Yuanchu was really fuming, but he showed a bitter smile.

"Make a guess what my mom did?"

"What did she do?" she couldn"t guess.

This was because many parents would do weird and bizarre things using the excuse "for the sake of their kid" and think they were right.

Tang Yuanchu puffed a long sigh. "She registered a Weibo account called "Tang Yuanchu"s Mom" and made a statement. She doesn"t understand many terms used on the internet and even argued with those young female fans…"

Pffft!

This time, Xiang Wan really couldn"t control her laughter.

"Your mom"s interesting. She"s defending you, why are you so angry over this?"

When Xiang Wan said this, she suddenly realized that she had not grasped the crux of the point.

"… Your mom made a statement, what did she say?" she immediately asked.

Tang Yuanchu did not reply immediately.

He paused for a moment and his tone was filled with deep dissatisfaction.

"She said that I already have a girlfriend and will be married next year, and this has got nothing to do with Xie Wanwan… Not only that, she even mentioned Xie Wanwan in her post. That she wanted Xie Wanwan to settle her own messy matters so as not to implicate me… That was how Xie Wanwan"s fans got provoked! My mom even argued with them for one whole day without stopping…"

Geez!

Xiang Wan was dumbfounded.

His mom"s "combat power" must be so strong.

Ever since that time they were being spotted at the nightclub and this incident was exposed on the Internet, Tang Yuanchu"s name would always appear in almost every scandal of Xie Wanwan. Basically, he was one of the "rumored" boyfriends of Xie Wanwan. In the scandal this time, the netizens started off by talking about the relation between Xie Wanwan and Meng Chi then Second Young Master Mu, and lastly Xiang Gongzi.

For the netizens, it was as though looking at the flower in a fog; everything was unclear.

They were not sure what was real and what was fake.

Nevertheless, the netizens enjoyed gossiping about the three of them. Some of them even tried to dig deeper while some just let their imagination run wild.

Soon, some netizens talked about Tang Yuanchu who was also related to them.

Their relations were now even more complicated based on the understanding of netizens on the internet. Xie Wanwan"s an celebrity that had a lot of fans, Tang Yuanchu"s also a popular online celebrity… that sparked off another round of trending topics and news once again.

The netizens were happily gossiping about this and that.

Still, all these were just matters that would never be verified and justified.

One by one, the netizens were like painting the scandal into their own story just like the movie Rash.o.m.on.

"Actually, these people are not concerned about the truth at all. They only wanted some entertainment and live their own lives. Who would take other people"s matters so seriously?"

Tang Yuanchu let out a bitter cackle. "Only my mom took it seriously. She even directed her fury at Xie Wanwan. What would you do if you were me? If I don"t get angry with her, who should I get angry with?"

Xiang Wan could also feel his frustrations after hearing that.

"It"s a blessing that my mom was not into all these…"

"Hur! My mom is now a professional at being a hindrance." Tang Yuanchu sounded both frustrated and at a loss of what to do.

Xiang Wan seemed to have caught on to something as she looked at his fuming face. "So," she narrowed her eyes in thought, "have you explained this to Xie Wanwan?"

"She didn"t pick up my calls and even blocked me."

Tang Yuanchu"s expression seemed really gloomy now.

Prior to that, both of them would communicate via WeChat almost every day.

Even though most messages were simple greetings like "Good morning" or "Goodnight" with hardly any content, for Tang Yuanchu, their relations.h.i.+p was more than just any friends.h.i.+p but not yet a couple. Xie Wanwan could occasionally ask him about how his injuries were recovering. Although her words were simple and short, the feelings of concern was obvious.

Tang Yuanchu felt that it was just a matter of time before they could be together…

He was very clear about all of what happened to Xie Wanwan. All the pain, bitterness, and emotional wounds she had suffered made him care more about her feelings. Hence, he didn"t dare to flirt recklessly with her but stay beside her quietly instead. After all, they were still young; they have plenty of time to heal the wounds…

Tang Yuanchu was already very contented.

Sometimes, he would joke with her to repay him with her body as he nearly lost his life to save her, and she didn"t get angry at all.

There were even once that Xie Wanwan answered him seriously, "If you want, I"m fine with it."

Of course, Tang Yuanchu didn"t dare to do that.

It was because he knew that if he accepted, it could only be once.

What he wanted was to take care of her for life.

Hence, in the half-ambiguous and half-distressed days, both of them maintained their friends.h.i.+p with each other. Tang Yuanchu actually felt sweet, and when he teased Quan Shaoteng for being a bachelor, his mind was filled with Xie Wanwan. He hoped that he could open her heart and make her his wife…

However, not only did his own mom failed to help him, she even made things worse.

Tang Yuanchu made a remark. "She will never talk to me again."

"Did you add her back again?"

"I"ve added her a few times, but she ignored me. I couldn"t keep bothering her as well."

"Uh…"

Xiang Wan looked at him sympathetically.

She didn"t know that Tang Yuanchu"s feelings for Xie Wanwan was much deeper than expected.

She had thought that since his affection towards her had originated from looks, it would take a long time to progress to anything like this…

Unexpectedly, he was really loyal to his heart and was completely into Xie Wanwan.

Xiang Wan suddenly thought of the dinner date she had fixed with Xie Wanwan and glanced toward Bai Muchuan who did not say a word.

"She"s coming to the Capital for Lunar New Year in a few days" time. I"ll help to sound her out then?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuanchu was so delighted that he was all smiles.

"That"s really great," he exclaimed in joy, "Teacher Xiang, you"re my living bodhisattva!"

Xiang Wan could see clearly that he was so elated and excited. She quickly waved her hands to calm him down.

"No, no, no! Don"t say that, this might shorten my life!"

"No, no, no, you"re really the best and most beautiful sister. I like you the most!"

Tang Yuanchu was so exhilarated that he forgot about the presence of his boss.

Xiang Wan was so amused that the corners of her mouth lifted upwards. Bai Muchuan, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly remarked in displeasure. His expression was now grim.

"You can shut up now."

Tang Yuanchu instantly shut up!

However, the next moment, he said in a cheerful tone, "Congratulations Captain Bai, you"re finally alive!"

Bai Muchuan responded, "Talk more nonsense and the road ahead would become your death scene investigation."

His chilly words in this cold winter day made Tang Yuanchu shudder for a moment.

Tang Yuanchu could see Bai Muchuan"s feelings and possessiveness for Xiang Wan. Otherwise, he wouldn"t dare to follow Quan Shaoteng"s lead to help Xiang Wan out. However, Bai Muchuan had never been jealous because of him—he was the adorable mascot of the team, the lively and smart rookie detective that Captain Bai liked. Occasionally, he would banter around with Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan had always watched with a smile…

He had changed.

Everything had changed.

Tang Yuanchu calmed down and made a turn when he realized that they were almost reaching their destination.

In that instant, he felt respect for his boss.

"Captain Bai"s awesome! Did you install a GPS inside your brain?"

His flattery was so smooth that he could have the nickname of the "professional bootlicker".

However, Bai Muchuan let out a casual grunt.

"My brain doesn"t have a GPS installed. It"s on my mobile phone."

On the screen of his mobile phone, it was a map of their current location.

Pffft! Xiang Wan let out a chuckle as she saw Tang Yuanchu"s expression froze the moment he saw that.

…

"The boundless horizon is my love

The flowers are blooming at the foot of the green mountain

What kind of rhythm rock the most?

What kind of singing is most fun?

The winding river comes from the sky…"

A small barbershop down the street was blasting a folk song.

Several police cars were parked in an alley not far away from the barbershop, and that attracted a crowd of onlookers…
