Hm?

Bai Muchuan looked at her, his expression seemed a little stiff.

That squint of his seemed to be inquiring as though he had not heard clearly what she had said.

Xiang Wan gave a smile as she tilted her head. Do you need me to repeat?

Hm! Bai Muchuan chuckled and looked at the scenery again with an unperturbed look. Nevertheless, the fingers which were holding the cigarette twisted it gently.

Let me think

Xiang Wan shrugged her shoulders and quietly observed him with a relaxed attitude.

Bai Muchuan frowned and hesitated for a moment before giving a vague reply. I think its been more than 10 years. Its been such a long time that Im not sure of the exact time anymore.

He was smart. When one was not sure of the intention of the other party, one would not be able to answer it well. When that happens, it would be better to give an equally plausible reply.

If being in love was a skill, then Young Master Bais skill must have been maxed out.

He immediately asked Xiang Wan a question, Why did you suddenly ask about this? Still feeling jealous?

Im just concerned about you! So I shouldnt show my concern?

Of course you can! But theres really nothing between me and her. Every time you ask questions like this, I get the feeling that you dont trust me and you doubt me

She could see that he was a little hesitant about his past. Moreover, she was not the kind of person who would get to the root of things and make things difficult for others

Even if they really had something in the past, what could she do? If she continued to ask him again, not only she might get frustrated, he would also be upset.

After thinking that through, she laughed.

Its not suspicion. Its simply because I couldnt understand. Arent men supposed to be visual creatures? You have such a beautiful woman beside you, yet you actually like me? Of course, I will find it really strange.

So now you know why? Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow.

Yes, andmy confidence is booming, said Xiang Wan half-jokingly as she looked up and asked him. so, do I look really natural?

Of course, too natural. Just like the primitives that had not evolved.

You Xiang Wan swang a fist and hammered him.

Ah! Bai Muchuan laughed as he pinched her nose gently and embraced her. When he saw her crumpling her nose, he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Be rest assured. This is a straight guys beauty-appreciation. I like natural beauties like yourself.

Hmph! Xiang Wan rolled her eyes at him. As if only straight guys will like me? Do you know that even women like my looks? Hur! There are lots of women clamoring to want to get married to me

! Bai Muchuan felt speechless for a moment before giving a smile. So, my love rivals are not only men but women as well?

So, are you afraid?

Of course not!

As they talked about love rivals happily, Xiang Wan got reminded of her most important thing that she had to do every day.

In just an instant, she got anxious. I better go back now. You can stay and enjoy yourself with the rest.

Bai Muchuan did not ask her the reason.

The continuation of Murder The Dream Guy was an important event in Xiang Wans life. Recently, she had been very diligent as she flung herself into writing her updates every day. If she had not updated by this time of the day, her heart would feel like being clawed constantly. Even if she stayed behind to enjoy herself, she might not be able to enjoy to her hearts content.

Alright. Ill send you back

Alright Eh? Look! Xiang Wan suddenly grabbed his sleeve. What is Tang Yuanchu doing down there?

Bai Muchuan looked toward the direction she was pointing at and his eyebrows began to crease.

At the entrance of The Palace, Tang Yuanchu was pacing to and fro around the fountain goddess statue, as though he was searching for something.

Bai Muchuan said nothing while Xiang Wan chuckled after observing for a moment. Did you notice that hes particularly hyped up tonight?

Hmmmm

After the two of them went out for a stroll and came back to the Heavenly Chamber, they were officially considered a couple in everyones eyes.

Under the concerned gazes of everyone, Xiang Wan was a little shy whereas Bai Muchuan was indifferent to all these and was in a good mood.

Everyone, just enjoy yourselves thoroughly. Its all on me tonight

Everyone knew that Cheng Zheng had left secretly, but they didnt know that he had left money behind for the bill.

Upon hearing this, the team capered and cheered. They immediately called for the waitress, ordered several plates of fruits, nuts, as well as wine. After that, they started to pester Bai Muchuan to sing a song.

It was because the two of them had tried to keep their relationship a secret, of course, they had to make amends for it?

As soon as someone suggested it, everyone concurred and tried to make Bai Muchuan agree to sing a song.

She had heard Bai Muchuan sing before. If she was not in a hurry to get back home, she would really love to hear him sing Cheng Du one more time to feel the sweet, warm mood of a couple living in a small town, holding hands as they walked to the entrance of a small tavern in the rain

However

She did not have much time leftshe was in a hurry.

She was only concerned about her update and not interested in any other things.

Bai Muchuan took a glance at her and understood her thoughts.

But everyone was in such a good mood and he didnt want to ruin the happy atmosphere. Hence, he told everyone that he had to get Xiang Wan home safely first and asked for their understanding. Before he left the room, he even waved his mobile phone at them.

Ill issue red packets to everyone after I got on my car!

The moment everyone heard that they immediately created a ruckus.

Captain Bai, thank you so much! Issuing red packets are even more joyful than singing! I like it!

Youre right! Its such a happy occasion that Captain Bai and Teacher Xiang are together, red packets are a must!

Wait a moment, Ill get my mobile phone.

The Criminal Investigation Unit had a WeChat group as well.

Usually, the detectives would chat there about work, their life, and some occasional entertainment.

The moment they heard they would be getting red packets, everyone was so thrilled and were all geared up to receive them

Bai Muchuan waved his hands with a smile and left with Xiang Wan.

They had called for a designated driver so they sat at the back passenger seats. The moment they hopped inside the car, Bai Muchuan started to make good his promise by issuing red packets in WeChat.

However, his cheerful expression only lasted a second.

Hmm, wheres my Little Wanwan?

He had wanted to give Xiang Wan a red packet privately only to realize that they didnt add each other in WeChat.

Both of them were used to communicate using SMS. The persistent use of this habit caused Bai Muchuan to overlook the issue that both of them had not added each others WeChat. Of course, the most important reason was that he hardly used WeChat. The WeChat app was practically a decoration on his mobile phone.

You only noticed now? Xiang Wan gave a snort as she knew this all along. Idiot.

The usually eloquent and sharp-tongued Detective Bai actually did not retort her.

He put an arm around Xiang Wan, pulling her to him, and looked at her with a smile along with a sexy gaze.

Young sister, please add me in WeChat!

Whos your sister? Xiang Wan looked up with a snort.

Little girl, please add me in WeChat!

I dont have a brother with so many wrinkles.

Bai Muchuan pulled a face. Dont tell me you want to call me Uncle?

Thats fine! Uncle? Xiang Wan blinked her eyes to look innocent.

Bai Muchuan gave a shudder. Youre into Uncles?

Cant I?

Those little girls who are into Uncles are called adorable. As for you Bai Muchuan looked at her up and down. A young woman with so many wrinkles, dont bother.

Bai, Mu, Chuan! The moment she heard so many wrinkles, Xiang Wan got agitated and grabbed his wrist. Do you know who you are talking to? How dare you say that I have a face full of wrinkles?

Of course I know who you are. Bai Muchuan held her in his arms and spoke playfully in her ear, Aunty, Im in the wrong.

Whattheheck!?

With that, Xiang Wan could not continue to pretend anymore. She tittered while leaning on his shoulder.

Youre really vengeful. I said you have a face of wrinkles and you immediately retaliated to me the same!

I wont argue with you. Quick! Time to receive your red packet

Hmph!Xiang Wan reluctantly accepted his friend request in WeChat.

Ding!Very soon, a WeChat notification was heard. A red packet was sent to Xiang Wan.

It was a really prominent number9999 yuan.

The remarks of the red packet read: Everlasting and unchanging!
