Chapter 495: She Was Not Happy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Earlier on, Xiang Wan had wanted to give Bai Muchuan a call.

However, since there were others around, if Bai Muchuan’s tone made her unhappy, it would affect her mood. Moreover, when she thought of the reason why she kept holding on to the phone before it got s.n.a.t.c.hed was exactly because he didn’t pick up her call, she felt a little annoyed. Thus, that was why she dragged till now.

She had been enduring her urge to call him, and she didn’t want to wait any more.

When she called using Fang Yuanyuan’s phone, he actually took the call within a second.

“h.e.l.lo Xiang Wan? Where are you?”

“…”

She hadn’t even talked?

How did he know that it was her?

Bai Muchuan’s voice sounded anxious. “Say something! Is this Xiang Wan, or… Fang Yuanyuan?”

Xiang Wan gave an unhappy snort. “How did you know it’s me?”

“How did I know? I almost cla.s.sified you as a missing person already. What do you think?”

“…” He was anxious about her.

Xiang Wan started to show a more expressive face. “You haven’t told me yet,” she pouted, “how did you know I’m the caller?”

“I couldn’t reach you, and I saw the call center records where I found your name.”

Xiang Wan suddenly felt sweet inside.

Did he actually do that much for her?

He must have been so anxious, eh?

Xiang Wan was feeling very glad inside. She told him about her dinner earlier. “It was not convenient earlier, so I didn’t call.”

Hmph! Bai Muchuan snorted since he didn’t believe that. “You lost your phone?”

“…” Xiang Wan didn’t reply.

Didn’t you already see the record? she thought.

“I’m asking you a question!” said Bai Muchuan in a more demanding tone.

Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. “Yeah, there are always ‘unruly commoners’ trying to harm me…”

“Didn’t I tell you to watch out for your own safety whenever you go out? These s.n.a.t.c.h thieves liked to pick on young ladies like you who are not aware of their surroundings.”

Young lady?

Xiang Wan was very satisfied to hear that.

Compared to her mom, who liked to say that she would be 30 years old soon, the words ‘young lady’ were so much more pleasant.

There was some simpering in her tone. “Okay! I’ll be more careful, so do you have anything else to tell me?”

Her heart was pounding while she waited for him to say something nice.

However, a moment later, Bai Muchuan cooled down and started to sound indifferent.

“I’m relieved that you’re safe. Don’t hang around outside recklessly and go home earlier!”

“Uh…” That’s all?

“That’s it then! Bye.”

Wait! Just like this?

Xiang Wan did not know what to say. “…”

What the…

‘Bai Muchuan, you’re a big bully.’

The compet.i.tive spirit in Xiang Wan got triggered.

This guy was so worried about her, yet he had to pretend to be so aloof.

Hmph!

He had been pretending to be cool for so long. Maybe it was time for her to take some action!

Otherwise, how would she live up to the expectations of those netizens that had been calling her a scheming b*tch?

…

It was soon late at night.

The building of Serious Crime Division One was silent in the snowy world.

To let the detectives get more rest, there was a floor dedicated to the detectives that functioned as their dormitory. Those staff who did not have a place to stay in the Capital could apply for an individual dormitory for themselves. They opened up the balance—empty dormitories for the detectives who had to work overtime. Of course, as the boss of Serious Crime Division One, they also allocated Bai Muchuan a dormitory, which was located at one end of the floor.

His dormitory was the same as all others.

In Serious Crime Division One, none enjoyed special treatment under his leaders.h.i.+p.

The treatment of all detectives was the same, and that also applied to him.

Whatever they ate, he would also eat.

Wherever they slept, he would also go to sleep.

He even distributed the facilities in the dormitory rooms uniformly for all.

When it was almost dawn, Bai Muchuan returned to his dormitory from his office. His office was on the second floor. The dormitory was on the sixth floor, which was the highest floor of the Serious Crime Division One building. At this hour, all the detectives that were staying in the dorms should have been asleep. There were only the corridor lightings which were of a warm hue and rather dim. Under these lights, Bai Muchuan cast a long, tired, and lonesome shadow…

He entered his dormitory, switched on the lights, and took his bath towel before he entered the bathroom.

There was only one room and a bathroom in every dorm. The area was not big but very convenient.

In the bathroom, the sound of slos.h.i.+ng water didn’t last for a long time.

Bai Muchuan looked at himself in the mirror and seemed dazed for a moment. He let out a chuckle somewhat bitterly and shaved his beard. Afterward, he touched his chin and felt that he looked much better and walked out of the bathroom with the towel tied around him—

While he was thinking about something, he lowered his head, and he suddenly realized that something was amiss.

Why were the lights in the room switched off?

He had clearly left them on before he entered the bathroom.

It was his own dormitory, and the building belonged to Serious Crime Division One, he was completely unguarded about this unexpected situation.

Did the light bulb die?

Shuffling his slippers, he made his way slowly to the bed and bent down since he wanted to search for his mobile phone…

He didn’t expect that the moment he bent his body, a shadow in the darkness would suddenly pounce on him. The person had both hands hanging on his neck and used some strength to pull him down onto the bed. Bai Muchuan wanted to get up but the person quickly lay on top of him and sat on his waist.

“Don’t move, or I’ll kill you!”

“…”

Bai Muchuan remained at his position without a word.

The slim figure on him suddenly let out a displeased snort.

“Say something! I asked you not to move, but I never said you can’t talk?”

“Xiang Wan…” Bai Muchuan puffed a soft sigh, unsure if he should laugh or cry. “What are you trying to do?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I’m having my revenge.”

“…”

It was winter, but Xiang Wan was so tired that she was perspiring all over.

When Bai Muchuan was bathing, she had been staying in the darkness and had gotten used to it since she was preparing to ‘catch’ him… Thus, Bai Muchuan only saw the disgruntled woman before him much later.

“How did you come in?”

“Make a guess.”

Was there a need to guess?

There must have been a “traitor”.

Bai Muchuan hesitated for a moment. “Why are you here in this cold weather? You should be at home.”

“Isn’t it obvious? I came to you.”

“…”

Xiang Wan’s reply was difficult to answer.

In fact, she didn’t expect Bai Muchuan to say something useful either. She let out a snort and raised her eyebrows while she moved her knees slowly upwards so that her knees were beside his vital body part. “I’m not joking with you. If you don’t tell me what is troubling you… I will not let you off!”

Goodness, she had been led astray.

Bai Muchuan looked confounded for a moment before he revealed a smile.

“Since when did you become so bad?”

“Isn’t it obvious that you’re the one who led me astray?”

“…”

“It’s great to be a man, isn’t it? When you’re happy, you’ll dote and pamper on your woman. You’ll give her whatever she wanted and accede to her every request… The moment you are unhappy, you ignore her, show her a grim face, and wouldn’t even give an explanation. Bai Muchuan, do you know that it’s so much worse to take back all of your love after giving out too much in the first place?”

“…” Bai Muchuan could not refute that.

“So if I’m bad, you’re worse. Am I right?”

“It’s not that…”

Bai Muchuan’s body felt stiff. He didn’t move and didn’t have any intention to quarrel with her.

He called her name softly. “Xiang Wan, listen to me…”

“You need not explain. I’m not here to listen to your explanation!” Xiang Wan directly interrupted him.

Hmph! She put her hands to hold his neck as though she would strangle him. “I’m here today to put an end to this!”
