Her cheeks were flushed red.

She was writing some intimate scenes and got caught…

The feeling would be totally different if he had waited till after she had published that chapter.

While Xiang Wan wished she could disappear at that instant, Bai Muchuan showed a half-smile and stroked her face with his thumb in a circular motion, as though he was observing her yet he seemed to be thinking about some serious matter at the same time.

“Little Xiang Wan?” He suddenly asked, “Did I interrupt you?”

“Huh? What?” Xiang Wan’s cheeks were red like a tomato.

“If I was still sleeping, would you have gone all the way on that plot?”

“…”

Xiang Wan gave a condescending frown.

“How is that possible?”

“Hur, then why are you so shy now? I will be reading it when you publish this chapter, even if I don’t read it now.”

“It’s not the same.” Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. “It’s similar to when you’re writing, you don’t like others standing behind you and see what you’re typing. It’s even more irritating when you read it out loud…”

This was indeed something that authors did not like.

Nevertheless, Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t know that. I only know that my Little Xiang Wan… did not seem to have enough?”

He lowered his head. A kiss was planted on her soft, supple cheek. “Could it be that I did not work hard enough last night?”

“… Cough, cough, cough!”

Xiang Wan choked.

She gave him a disgruntled glare.

“Okay, I’ll read out loud when you write your story the next time. I’ll see how you can continue to write.”

“Really?” Bai Muchuan’s lips quirked up at the corners. Suddenly, he hugged her and spoke in her ears. His attractive voice was as though a breeze that brushed past her. “If I can do it, what will you do?”

“What do you want me to do?”

“For instance, let me kiss for half an hour without pausing for breath…”

Without pausing for breath?

If she couldn’t pause for breath, she would die.

Xiang Wan wanted to talk but the moment she opened her mouth, she caught sight of a crafty glint that flashed past his eyes.

She instantly understood what he was trying to do.

But before she could talk,

Bai Muchuan had already cupped her face.

And took her lips aggressively.

It was hot, passionate and soon, she could no longer think.

Xiang Wan found herself lost in the kiss…

Hur! Men.

No matter the time, location or matters, nothing was more important than taking advantage.

Xiang Wan’s heartbeat increased.

She was out of breath.

She really was out of breath.

He finally stopped. He licked his lips devilishly and also helped to wipe her mouth.

“That only lasted for five minutes, is that the best you can do?…”

“Hmph!” Xiang Wan looked serious. “Next time I’ll put something in your mouth and see if you can withstand it for five minutes.”

Hur!

Bai Muchuan revealed a naughty, meaningful smile on his face. “Sure, we’ll do that together!”

This guy!

Xiang Wan felt her cheeks turning warm. She wished she could bite him to death.

“You’re shy already?!” Bai Muchuan saw her blushing face and seemed to be very satisfied. His finger brushed against her lips and spoke in a half-joking, half-serious manner. “Little Xiang Wan, I actually really like your behavior last night.”

“…”

Last night?

What happened last night?

Xiang Wan couldn’t recall what happened last night. She was like a fool, staring at him with a bewildered look…

“Aye!” Bai Muchuan pinched her cheeks gently. “There’s really a paradise on earth when the bewitchingly charming woman makes one go head over heels!”

There’s really a paradise on earth when the bewitchingly charming woman makes one go head over heels?

And it actually sounded quite nice!

Pffft! Xiang Wan let out a chortle.

However, the romantic plots inside her head had gotten interrupted.

“So Sir Little Bai knows how to make poems?”

“Mm?” Bai Muchuan was all cool and calm, hardly any expression on his face but every word he said was very suggestive.

“Not only am I good at making poems, but I’m also good at creating lives.”

“…”

Xiang Wan looked up at the sky.

Smack! Her palm landed on his arm.

“It’s time for breakfast, stop blabbering about!”

…

They were able to find and enjoy some leisurely time in their busy life.

The two of them stayed at home till noon.

They were lovey-dovey together and enjoyed each other’s company.

These were some rare moments of relaxation from the busy days.

Taking advantage of the first day of Lunar New Year being a holiday, they wanted to create some lovey dovey time together. They bought some ingredients to make a delicious meal to reward themselves. However, as soon as he came back home from the supermarket, Bai Muchuan received a call from Grandma Bai.

Grandma Bai was kicking up a fuss, she asked him why he had left the Bai Residence without her knowledge.

She also asked if someone had made him angry or upset.

Bai Muchuan let out a sigh.

He denied that.

Grandma Bai, however, refused to believe him.

She used both soft and forceful tactics to make Bai Muchuan go back.

Ever since Grandma Bai fell ill, there were a lot of things that she could not recall anymore. She could only remember those incidents that had left an impact on her. Even though the incident had been repeatedly mentioned by others, she was unable to remember it. As for those incidents that happened recently, she was often in a confused state as well.

Bai Muchuan happened to be a part of her deeply-etched memory…

That was why she couldn’t remember Bai Muxuan but would dote on Bai Muchuan forever.

However, such love and deep memory should not be envied.

If one had a choice, hardly anyone would want that—

Grandma Bai had witnessed too many emotional wounds and too much pain on him. That was why the old lady felt pity for him.

“Chuanchuan ah, come back home. Grandma will be there for you no matter what happens…”

The old lady tried her best to persuade him. Bai Muchuan could only coax her. “Grandma, I’m with my girlfriend. We wanted to have some time to ourselves today. I’ll come visit you tomorrow, is that ok?”

“I… don’t think it’s appropriate.” Grandma Bai was very obstinate and couldn’t stop persuading him. “I’ve made dumplings today… yet you didn’t get to eat it and left. Didn’t you say that this year will be smooth sailing after eating my dumplings on the first day of Lunar New Year?”

The old lady’s voice sounded disappointed.

Bai Muchuan touched his forehead and smiled. He was feeling a little helpless on handling Grandma Bai. “Save it for me then, I’ll come over to eat them tomorrow.”

“…”

Grandma Bai did not give a response for a long time.

“Hello?” Bai Muchuan thought the old lady was angry at him. “Grandma?” He said in a soft tone, “Are you there?”

“Mm.” Grandma Bai finally responded and her tone suddenly sounded serious. “Is it because of that girl?”

Bai Muchuan was puzzled. “What?”

The old lady’s tone suddenly became grim and solemn. “Is it because of that girl, as you don’t want to bring her back home?…”

Girl?

Is she referring to Xiang Wan? he thought.

Bai Muchuan took a glance at Xiang Wan, who was in the kitchen, taking out the ingredients they bought at the supermarket.

“What has this got to do with her?” He asked in a low tone.

“Why is it not?” The old lady asked him back. Next, she spoke in a mysterious tone, as though she was a kid who was gossiping about her classmate. “Chuanchuan ah, did you know that after Bai Lu ran off and her mom got her back, those two then got together and talked for a long time between themselves…”

Grandma Bai was definitely and absolutely on Bai Muchuan’s side.

“I asked Nanny Li to eavesdrop on them. They seemed to be saying that there’s a problem with the family background of your girlfriend…”

Thump!

Bai Muchuan felt a sharp tug in his heart.

“What else did they say?”

“They said that she’s the daughter of the person who caused your mom’s death…”
