Murder the Dream Guy Chapter 58 - How Does It Feel like to Be Pampered?

Chapter 58: How Does It Feel like to Be Pampered?

“Sis, how does it feel like to be pampered?”
Fang Yuanyuan stood before the patterned gold mercury sink in the restroom and sighed.
“It’s so nice to be wealthy. He can have whatever he wants, pampers his woman however he wants… Oh my god! This is totally like the plot of the domineering CEO in romance fictions. Sis, I beg of you, hurry up and become Mrs. Bai, I want to ride on your coattails… smoochies!”
“Geez, get away from me!” Xiang Wan was amused and irked at the same time.
She looked into the mirror at her refined face without make-up.
“… We’re from two different worlds,” she said slowly, “don’t you see it?”
“Of course I did!” Fang Yuanyuan applied her lipstick looking at the mirror. “You’re a woman. He’s a man. Ah no, he’s a handsome man whereas you’re a silly woman.”
“…”
Xiang Wan shot her a glare and leaned on the basin.
“Flowers can’t grow from the dust.”
“… Crazy. Better get out now, don’t be in a daze!” Fang Yuanyuan finished touching up her make-up, flicked her hair and looked at her cheerfully. “Okay, cheer up! Enjoy while you can. Not every girl would get the opportunity to be pampered by a man like Bai Muchuan. If I were you, I’ll immediately jump in and gobble him up first…”
Pfft! Xiang Wan laughed, “Your beloved Huanghuang heard it!”
“Huanghuang won’t mind all these. He knows that I love him the most.”
“Geez! My hair is standing on ends!”
…
Well, Xiang Wan would be lying if she claimed that she was not moved by what Bai Muchuan had done.
Women were thoughtful and sensitive to romantic ambiguity more than any other detection system.
It was just that Xiang Wan was unsure what exactly did Bai Muchuan think of her?
He was sometimes far, if not near; he was good to her at times, but also nasty to her at other times.
It was like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. One could see it but was unable to touch it.
In short, he was a weird man!
Walking out of the restroom, they could hear the sounds of liveliness coming from the “Heavenly Chamber”.
However, Xiang Wan saw Bai Muchuan standing by the window, smoking with his back facing them.
Fang Yuanyuan saw that as well. She poked Xiang Wan’s arm, blinked at her, and went on ahead to the “Heavenly Chamber”, leaving her alone.
Xiang Wan paused for a while and walked slowly over.
It should be alright to ask what’s wrong with him, right? Xiang Wan told herself.
The soft rug concealed her footsteps. Bai Muchuan did not notice her presence.
Before Xiang Wan came over to his side, his mobile phone rang.
She halted in her steps.
Bai Muchuan did not turn around but pulled out the phone from his pocket instead. “Hello!”
“…”
“Stay out of my affairs! I know what I’m doing.”
“…”
“Bai Lu’s no longer a little girl, don’t spoil her too much.”
“…”
“Sis, I don’t care. I don’t care at all. You heard that?”
“…”
“I said, stay out of my affairs, can you? Everyone wants to f*cking meddle with my affairs, did I ask for that!?”
“…”
“Don’t push me too far. I’ll disown my family! Disown!”
“…”
Xiang Wan did not know what the other party over the phone said.
But Bai Muchuan talked louder and louder as his tone got angrier. His languid posture became cold and stiff. The tall figure under the lightings felt particularly leggy and straight… as well as strong-willed.
Xiang Wan could not see his face. She could only detect his immense anger as well as his will to fight for himself.
It turned out that people like him could also be stressed and irritable.
He did… curse and swear too!
…
What kind of family does he have? she thought.
…
Xiang Wan’s mind was wandering off and wanted to leave when Bai Muchuan suddenly turned around.
Both of them met each other’s gazes. Xiang Wan felt very awkward.
She was standing not that far away behind him, so how should she explain herself?
Listening in to others was a dishonorable act after all.
“I… erm… I’m sorry…”
She smiled in embarrassment in attempt to get away from the situation.
Bai Muchuan however, did not want to hear any explanation. “Come help me for a while,” he beckoned.
“Eh?” Xiang Wan did not understand.
He rubbed his forehead. “I haven’t drank wine for a long time. I don’t feel good.”
“…”
He leaned against the window casually. His clear, emotionless voice did not suggest that he was in much discomfort, but his irresistible look of softness made her unable to refuse his request.
It was as if he was a drowning child asking for help in silence…
If she didn’t help him, he might really drown.
It could be that authors had a wilder imagination than most and Xiang Wan was startled by her own thoughts.
“You have a low tolerance toward alcohol?” She walked over and held Bai Muchuan’s arm.
“Hm.” He leaned against her unreservedly, “My weight of a hundred over pounds are depending on you now.”
“…”
Did he have an underlying meaning or was he just referring to the current situation?
Xiang Wan realized that whenever she met Bai Muchuan, she was always at a disadvantage. Reason being, she would overthink things!
Maybe, he was just making some off-the-cuff remarks.
Is there anyone else in the modern society bother about the ambiguity in others’ words like I do? She thought.
“You’re daydreaming again!” Bai Muchuan sighed suddenly. A hand came from behind round her neck, as if he was holding her in his crook of the arm instead. “Do you know how to help people?” He complained.
“Don’t be like this!” Xiang Wan started to break out in cold sweat due to the close contact of their bodies.
She wanted to get out from his elbow but his strength was so strong like a pair of pliers that she was pulled back insistently by him.
“Have some compassion!” After saying this, he was startled when he saw Xiang Wan’s cheeks were flushed red.
He stared at her.
He continued to stare at her.
Suddenly, he laughed. His hands clasped her shoulders and turned her to face him directly. He lowered his head and peered at her face.
“You’re embarrassed again?”
Xiang Wan’s face was so red and hot that maybe an egg could be cooked.
“… You’ve drank too much. Come, I’ll help you inside!”
She took his arms from her shoulders to free herself. Her heart jumped when she touched his firm arms.
His hands feel so strong.
The strength of men was different from the women.
Xiang Wan had never came in contact with a man like this before. Her heart started to pound uncontrollably.
“Hurry up, are you going or not? If you’re not moving, I’m not going to care about you.”
As she complained, the corners of Bai Muchuan’s mouth turned upward.
“Let’s go!” He gave her a sideways glance, wearing a cool and sly smile. “You need to care about me…”
He drank too much!
This fellow really drank too much!
It was as though Xiang Wan had reared a fawn inside her heart. The fawn was jumping around happily, yet she daren’t think deeper about what he had said.
She had been “taught a lesson” before, as well as those incidents where she suffered a loss of face. All these experiences were reminding her that she shouldn’t get involved with such a temperamental man.
“There’s something I want to give you later.”
Bai Muchuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and smiled at her, his eyes were half-closed.
Xiang Wan felt dizzy as she breathed in his smell. “Eh? What is it?”
Bai Muchuan stared at her without saying another word.
The lights along the corridor suddenly seemed to become blur.
The skin where they came in contact seemed to kindle a fire.
When Xiang Wan gulped, she happened to see his adam’s apple moving.
The next moment, she heard his sexy voice.
“Something you like.”
…
Xiang Wan did not know what Bai Muchuan wanted to give her. She was not sure if he was really drunk, so she did not probe further.
When the two of them returned to the “Heavenly Chamber”, everyone have almost had their fill.
The “Heavenly Chamber” was a very spacious room. Besides the dining area, they also had several recreational rooms for their customers to enjoy.
For example, the first part of the room was a KTV room with excellent sound effects.
The group of them were enjoying themselves by being rowdy and singing along.
Fang Yuanyuan and Huang He sang a number of duets, showing everyone their love.
Ever since Bai Muchuan took the phone call and came back, he was more reticent than earlier.
He sat in a corner with his eyes half-closed, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Xiang Wan took a few glances at him. She was sitting not too far away from him, thinking and writing her novel plot with her phone.
More than an hour passed by.
Everyone was still there when Huang He received a mission.
“Everyone, wait up, wait a while.”
“My fellow brothers, we’ve got work.”
The music stopped.
Tang Yuanchu, who was holding the microphone, stood rooted to the spot.
Everyone was looking at Huang He.
He had drank some wine and his face was slightly red.
“Commissioner Wang wanted us to cooperate with the Narcotics Squad for an arrest mission.”
“Narcotics Squad?” Tang Yuanchu threw the mike aside in agitation. “Where? Let’s go!”
Huang He did not answer him, but turned to Bai Muchuan who was sitting on the sofa. “Captain Bai, ‘The Palace’, is it convenient?”
The owner of “The Palace” was Bai Muchuan’s cousin, Bai Munian. The arrest of drug offenders in such places were bound to have an impact on their business.
Although this was a mission that he had to do it by crook or by hook, he had eaten and enjoyed himself in “The Palace”, it was only polite of him to inform Captain Bai.
Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows, his fingers drumming lightly on the edge of the sofa. “Is it serious?”
Huang He knew that he was asking about the gravity of the matter. After considering for a while, he said, “The situation is not clear. It’s led by the Narcotics Squad and our mission is to provide support. Commissioner Wang said there are more than ten drug offenders… and yes, they got reported.”
Consumption of drugs.
That was a serious offence.
Generally, drug offenders would tend to be very secretive on taking drugs.
If they were being caught, it was usually because they got reported.
It was hard to avoid such incidents when one opened a business that provides dining and entertainment.
Bai Muchuan nodded his head. “Hm, go ahead. It’s not convenient for me to be there.”
Huang He heaved a sigh of relief and waved to his team of detectives. “Hurry up! Brothers, perk up. We’re going to the fifth floor by the lift. Our brothers over at the Narcotics Squad has blocked all other forms of exit.”
“Yes!”
“Let’s go!”
…
The detectives acted very quickly.
Huang He squeezed Fang Yuanyuan’s shoulders before he left with the detectives.
Only the three of them—Bai Muchuan, Xiang Wan, and Fang Yuanyuan—were left behind.
