The “battle” at the study ended when they returned to the bedroom and wash each other up for the night.

Of course, Xiang Wan was so tired that she didn’t feel like moving. Hence, Bai Muchuan was fully responsible to handle the aftermath.

She felt weak and soft, which was unlike her usual self. Instead, she was like a soft animal that was hanging onto him while allowing him to handle everything, and finally, he sent her onto the warm bed.

“I’m so beat up…”

“Go for a jog tomorrow morning then!”

Bai Muchuan squeezed her waist and remarked with a sigh.

“You are too weak. I don’t even have the heart to continue…”

What?

He said he didn’t have the heart then who was the one “exercising” with her earlier?

Xiang Wan frowned. “… I don’t want to jog!”

“Mm?” Bai Muchuan kissed her lips. “Really?”

“No, no! I don’t want to jog!”

Xiang Wan covered herself under the quilt, but Bai Muchuan pulled her out.

“Go for a jog?”

“No!” She covered her eyes and shook her head like a rattle drum…

“I’ll fight anyone who asks me to wake up early to jog!”

“Fine, so be it…” Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh then laid beside her closely. As if that was not enough, he decided to hold her in his arms and cuddle together. Only then did he let out a satisfied snort and buried himself in her neck.

“Little Xiang Wan…” he asked in a gentle tone, “Are you happy?”

“… Mm.”

“Do you think it’s tough?”

“No… why would I feel that way?”

Xiang Wan yawned and murmured.

They were exhausted after a long day. It was difficult to have such a special moment where they could quietly hide in a quilt and talk. It was originally a very blissful thing to do.

However… it was too comfortable. Sleepiness gradually kicked in and Xiang Wan soon realized that she couldn’t open her eyelids.

When she didn’t hear Bai Muchuan’s reply anymore, she almost fell asleep.

“What happened to you?” she asked.

“Nothing.” Bai Muchuan sounded relaxed and from his tone, he didn’t sound like he was about to be asleep. “I’m just worried that you’re feeling tough, worried that you’re too tired, and worried that you’ll feel unhappy…”

… Mm?

Was she still talking to Bai Muchuan? she thought.

Xiang Wan’s groggy head sobered up a bit.

She turned around and put her arms around his neck before cuddling him close.

“Sir Little Bai, what happened? Did someone provoked you or something?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“Well, from your words, I can sense that you’re feeling insecure?”

“Ahem!” Bai Muchuan’s hand around her waist tightened a little. “Of course, it’s because my Teacher Xiang is too good…”

“…”

Xiang Wan felt speechless at his remark.

She had heard of compliments before.

There were quite a lot of people who said she’s kind.

However, compared to Bai Muchuan or Second Young Master Mu…

Any of his ident.i.ties would win her completely.

Xiang Wan was even more clear-headed than earlier since she felt a twinge of strangeness in his remark.

“You wanted to give me your mansion and now you’re feeling insecure… Bai Muchuan, did something happen to you?”

Just like any woman all over the world, she could notice the subtle change in the emotions of her man.

Facing Xiang Wan’s bright eyes, Bai Muchuan pressed his lips together and remained silent for quite a while. “We’re going to the Capital soon.”

“And?” Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows.

“I…” Bai Muchuan’s thin lips pressed tightly together. “That family… is a mess! When you meet them, and someone says something unpleasant, you mustn’t take it to heart. If you’re not comfortable, you need to tell me directly. We need not bother with them…”

“I won’t take it to heart.” Xiang Wan planted a kiss on his lips. “You can do so many things for me, so why can’t I do the same?”

Bai Muchuan shared his family background to her when they were at Vulture’s Mouth.

He didn’t give a lot of details, but Xiang Wan could draw some inferences about his relationship with the Bai Family already.

Maybe, the actual situation was worse than what he told her.

When she faced them directly, it might be harder and more difficult than she imagined…

However, if she was with him, then why not?

“I understand. You’re afraid that I might feel belittled or hurt, right?” Xiang Wan suddenly laughed. She hugged him tightly with the entirety of her body for warmth, but she still felt that it was not enough and put her legs around his waist like an octopus. Only then did she heaved a sigh of satisfaction as she enjoyed the warmth of his body.

“Be rest a.s.sured, Little Chuanchuan! The woman you took a fancy to is not bad at all!”

Hur!

Her humorous words and lighthearted tone amused Bai Muchuan.

“What do you mean?”

“It means that me, your little fairy, knows when to yield and when not to. I’ll overcome all obstacles that come my way~”

When she said this, she snorted and clenched her little fist.

“If anyone dares to bully my Little Chuanchuan, I will beat all the teeth out of them…”

“Hah!” Bai Muchuan let out a low chuckle and got out of brooding over that problem.

He was used to standing before her to protect her. He had never thought of how it would be like to have her protect him.

No matter how strong a man was, he would still want unconditional love and care.

He pinched Xiang Wan’s cheek slightly as he smiled.

“What if the other party are my supposed ‘parents’? How are you going to beat them up?”

“It’s simple! I’ll let them beat me up! Will that do…?”

“Yeah!” Bai Muchuan did a turn and got on top of her while tickling her. “But it’s a pity since I couldn’t bear to see that.”

“… Hahaha!” Xiang Wan felt ticklish.

She couldn’t stop laughing and was gasping for breath.

“Stop that! I can’t sleep if this goes on.”

“Then don’t sleep.” He spoke softly and kissed her earlobe gently. “When I get up in the morning, I’ll write two chapters…”

“Wh-What! Two chapters? Do you not want to live anymore?” Xiang Wan’s ears felt hot, and her heart felt even hotter.

Only both of them knew about this little secret. Xiang Wan directly retorted him back. She even whimpered and hammered him on the chest with her little fists.

“Bai Muchuan, I have every reason to believe what you want is my life!”

“Hahaha…”

As he laughed, he held her closer to him.

“Look at your face, I was only teasing you!”

As she pleaded for mercy, Bai Muchuan felt especially satisfied.

He pulled the quilt to cover them both and held each other in sleep.

“Just sleep! I won’t touch you…”

“… That’s more like it!”

Xiang Wan felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She had never expected that under Detective Little Bai’s cold and indifferent exterior, he still was such a warm person… He didn’t show that to anyone else other than her.

He took care of her really well.

In his heart, she was like a treasure that he cherished.

He did not allow anyone to covet after her, for he alone could protect her world.

The night was long.

The breathing sounds gradually became constant.

The restlessness that Xiang Wan felt during the day slowly faded away.

She liked this.

She liked this feeling a lot…

A night or even ten thousand years of this.

Xiang Wan could sleep well with Bai Muchuan beside her.

The second day when she woke up, she rubbed her eyes a few times, but she was still living inside her sweet dream as she smacked her lips in bliss; she then did a turn and went back to sleep again.

Later on, someone pulled her quilt away from her, and she got smacked on the b.u.t.tocks twice.

“You’re annoying… you make me so tired last night and you even hit me…”

She didn’t open her eyes when she muttered those words and, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere didn’t feel right.

Immediately, she sat up on the bed.

Tan Yunchun was standing before her with a grim face.

“Eh? Mom! What’s up?” Xiang Wan looked to her left and right. Her cheeks were blushing because of those words she muttered earlier and she pulled the quilt higher. “Why are you here? Where’s Bai Muchuan?”

“You still got to the cheek to ask? He went out early in the morning—” Tan Yunchun stared at her unhappily. “Do you know what time it is now? Is this how you live your life outside without me?”

“Of course not. I… last night, I have to work overtime on my writing!” Xiang Wan let out a yawn before she averted her eyes elsewhere.

Well, Xiang Wan herself didn’t even believe the words she said, why would her mom believe her then?

Hmph! Tan Yunchun had wanted to tell her off a little more, but when she saw the messy bed sheet and quilt cover, she seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t stop smiling.

“You! Better get up and eat your breakfast already.”

How blissful!

The feeling of opening her eyes and she knew that food was ready for her.

“Thank you mom~! I love you so much.”

Tan Yunchun was preparing to leave the room when she heard those words. Her back stiffened then she turned her head and smiled at her.

Her mom pointed at her. “You little sly one!”

Since young, Xiang Wan knew that the financial situation of her family was not good. Thus, her mom hardly smiled. Her mom was discontented and always complained about her tough life for many years. The common mother-daughter affection in most families were rarely expressed in theirs…

It took her long enough to accustom herself with the words “I love you” and said it to her mom.

Xiang Wan secretly swore to herself that she had to work harder in the future and earn more money.

She did not want Bai Muchuan to transfer this mansion to her.

She wanted to earn every penny she would use to support her own mother…

In this way, she would feel that she had enough confidence to stand beside him, who was such an excellent person.

“The best love is equal. The best love is one where both have their own achievements!”

She wrote this sentence on her own laptop.

Thus, she could see it every time she turned on her laptop and motivate herself.
