When Xiang Wan saw that, she felt something was amiss.

Bai Muchuan, youve already looked for a house for me?

Bai Muchuan responded lazily with a Mm, as though he was not quite awake from his little nap.

Well Xiang Wan dragged her voice as she observed the surroundings of the neighborhood. This place, the rent should be quite expensive?

Its quite okay. His answer was vague.

Xiang Wans eyebrows crinkled together with worry.

She wanted to pay for the rent herself. If it was too expensive she might feel heartache!

Dongzi directly parked the car at the underground carpark.

When they alighted from the car, Xiang Wan noticed that it was a private parking lot.

She was startled for a while and looked at Bai Muchuan. Isnt it appropriate to park at somebody elses carpark lot?

Bai Muchuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Lets leave our luggage here and go out for a while.

Mm? Go out?

Well, since its the house that you just rented, we should go out and buy some stuff.

Okay. Although Xiang Wan also felt that it might be unsuitable, she felt that it would not take much time and kept quiet for a while.

They took the elevator from the underground parking lot.

That was a stacked townhouse amidst the neighborhoods landscape garden. The elevator was spacious and classy. Xiang Wan started to get worried about the rent when she noticed these details as land was precious in the Capital.

The house had a biometric fingerprint door lock.

Bai Muchuan walked to the door, pressed his finger on the device gently, and the door was unlocked.

Xiang Wan:

She asked him after contemplating for a while, How long have you rented this place?

Bai Muchuan said coolly, Its been a while.

Prior to entering the house, she had not expected much on the furnishing and renovation.

It was just a house for rentas long as the basics were available and in working condition, that would be fine. She knew that one couldnt expect too much of a rented house.

But when she entered the house, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.

It was totally a luxuriously renovated apartment with a fresh and artistic theme!

It was a big house that was estimated to be around 200-300 square meters.

Bedroom, study, gym, recreation room, an open-air terrace garden where one could grow flowers and plants There was nothing that the house did not have.

Heavens, Bai Muchuan!

She looked around the house and her face was almost ashen.

How much is the monthly rent for such a place?

Not much. Bai Muchuans expression was as usual. Its my friends house. He has gone abroad and is worried about the house. So he asked me to help take care of it and find a reliable tenant

Hmm, why did this sound so familiar?

Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuans face that showed a half-smile and suddenly dawned on her

It was Cheng Zheng.

Yes. When Cheng Zheng rented his house to her and Fang Yuanyuan, he had said something similar as well.

She got it now.

Bai Muchuan was just teasing her.

She was annoyed but did not show it. Instead, she glanced at him. Bai Muchuan, is this house yours?

Bai Muchuan did not deny it. He raised an eyebrow. What expression is that?

I its beyond my expectations. Too luxurious.

Xiang Wan knew that Bai Muchuan was really wealthy, but she had never thought of how wealthy he could be.

Moreover, he had been very explicit about thishe would not rely on his parents.

He said that his mansion over at Jin City was bought using his own money. She had not expected that he also had a house in the Capital?

This was because this was the Capital.

For such a house, such renovation and furnishings and such a location a square meter could easily fetch more than a hundred thousand yuan?

This was only Xiang Wans guess as she didnt pay attention to the price of such a house.

This is too horrifying.

This is too horrifying.

This house should be around tens of millions of yuan!

To her, it was a sum of money that she did not dare to imagine.

Wow!

Xiang Wan took a long time to utter a sentence, as though dumbfounded as well as in disbelief.

Bai Muchuan, tell me, what kind of side jobs do you have?

A detectives salary alone was absolutely impossible to afford such a house, not to mention such luxurious renovation and furnishings

What do you say? Bai Muchuan chuckled and pinched her cheek.

Could it be that youre Xiang Wan thought of those gray income that violated the law, but she felt that with Bai Muchuans integrity and sense of justice, he couldnt be dabbling in such activities. Forget it, take it that I didnt ask. You wont tell me anyway.

Hur!Bai Muchuan gazed at her.

Set your mind at ease and have faith in your man. I wont do anything illegal.

I know you wont

If he did not break the law, the money must be from his family.

Xiang Wan took a peek at him, her gaze a little cold. What exactly does your family do?

Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh, pulled her over to the sofa, sat down, and poured a cup of warm water for her. Silly girl, Ive already told you.

Employees of ordinary state-owned organizations

Hmm, that was what he said.

Xiang Wan could still remember that was what he told her mom.

But

Xiang Wan stared at him, unconvinced.

Bai Muchuan laughed two times in amusement. Youre a strange woman. Are you actually hoping that your mans a pauper, so you can be rest assured?

Xiang Wan pursed her lips. Its not that Im worried, I just feel as if Im taking advantage of you.

Bai Muchuan chortled. Thats easy to settle.

He sat down beside Xiang Wan and put his hand around her shoulder.

You can let me take advantage of you then, problem solved.

Pffft!Xiang Wan was used to Young Master Bais behaviorall pretense and no action.

Hence, she was not afraid and straightened her back. Alright, come take advantage then.

Bai Muchuan thought for a while, seemingly in a difficult position as he pinched his chin. When Im taking advantage, I use a little more strength than usual. Will that tire you out?

D*rn!

Is this fellow in his rogue mode?

Xiang Wan felt her cheeks burning a little and wanted to rebut when he continued.

Well, Im thinking that besides asking you to help me cook, write speeches, and organize materials, I also want you to help me wash clothes, mop the floor, sun a quilt, and more.

Hes teasing me again.

Xiang Wan looked away to glance at the window, pretending that she did not hear anything.

Lets go! Little silly one Bai Muchuan laughed and squeezed her shoulders. Were going out to do some shopping.

Hur!Xiang Wan now knew that this fellow was actually enjoying the feeling of teasing her.

She lifted her head to look at him seriously. Not teasing me anymore?

Not teasing anymore. Bai Muchuan got up from the sofa.

My apologies then, Im going to tease you now. Xiang Wan got up suddenly, stood on her tiptoes, held his neck, and opened her mouth to bite him.

Yeah, it was a bite.

On his neck.

At his adams apple.

On his collar bone.

Lightly, slowly

That slow and gentle movements felt like ants trying to get inside his heart, pushing Bai Muchuan to the edge of surrendering in an instant.

Xiang, Wan. He gritted his teeth, both his hands gripping her slim waist. He was struggling to stay calm. Stop playing

Mmm! Xiang Wans response was unclear. Like a wild cat, she gained control, took over the initiative, and did not give him any chance to take a breather.

She knew Bai Muchuan too well, that he would only flirt and would not really do anything too drastic.

From her intuition, she could tell clearly that Bai Muchuan was the same as her. Both were newcomers and very awkward toward this.

Well, the only time that men could persevere was their first time.

Once the first time was gone, how could he be able to show such restraint in front of his beloved woman?

She was sure so she provoked him without fear.

Her lips and tongue moved as though a fish playing in the water. She wanted to take over the script that he had started, and it was now under her control.

Woman, you, are, asking, for, death.

Bai Muchuan snorted, his eyes deep and complicated.

Hmph death huh death it shall be

She had been teased by him for a long time that she felt imbalanced. Xiang Wan wanted to get some face back.

Her tongue was like the snake, incessantly moving along without any indication that it would stop. His already provoked nerves had already been challenged to the limit.

Little Xiang Wan He was gasping and his voice was a little hoarse. You are dead meat.

Bai Muchuan looked at her blushing face, flicked off a few strands of her hair, and suddenly grabbed her waist, lifting her whole body off the ground. He pressed onto her moist lipsthe hot atmosphere seemed to get hotter.

Urgh!

Hes for real?

Xiang Wan gave a swallow. She had just tasted his flavor when she suddenly ducked and slipped away.

Like a loach that slipped out of his control, she blinked at him mischievously. We dont have much time, she said in a serious tone, lets go shopping for daily necessities now. Dont you have things to settle this afternoon?

!

Bai Muchuan was gasping as he gritted his teeth.

It was an act of revenge from Xiang Wan, he understood that now.

You little imp!

With a sneer, he pulled her over and kissed her on the lips. When her body went stiff, he let go of her.

Lets go shopping first. Ill deal with you later.

What the!

The location of Bai Muchuans neighborhood was very good and convenient with a wide range of amenities nearby.

When they walked out of the main door, Xiang Wan felt that she was delaying Bai Muchuans time.

Hmm, why not do this? You go ahead to do your work. Ill go get the daily necessities myself.

Its alright, Bai Muchuan reassured her, I will be more at ease if I go with you.

Due to this more at ease excuse, Bai Muchuan spent two hours to help Xiang Wan get all the necessities required before getting Dongzi to send him to the building of Serious Crime Division One.

No doubt that was a sweet act in Xiang Wans heart.

It was just that before Dongzi left, the peeks he took at her made her a little discomposed.

Those looks were not unfriendly but full of suspicion.

So much so that she was doubtful of herself as well

As soon as Bai Muchuan left, she was all alone inside the big house.

It was certainly nice to have a big house, but it felt empty when one was all alone.

Especially so for Xiang Wan, as this was an unfamiliar place after all.

Xiang Wan took about half an hour to get into momentum for her writing.

Ding!There was a notification from QQ.

She took a look at her mobile phone. It was from Yuan Qianqian.

That woman, Zi Tan, must be crazy? She actually posted in Weibo to insinuate that youre the murderer!
