Chapter 238: Bath Me Please

She was moved by him—he saved her earlier from the boiling soup, hence, she was agreeable with the arrangement.
The two of them hailed a cab and arrived at the shopping mall. They held hands and walked inside it.
Bai Muchuan bought an entire set of clothing for Xiang Wan to change. He even bought a sleeping gown and some daily necessities.
Xiang Wan had to admit that shopping with her boyfriend and watching him pay with his credit card was a delightful sight to watch.
Watching Bai Muchuan carry the shopping bags after footing the bill, Xiang Wan’s heart was filled with sweetness.
“Boss, thank you for supporting me.”
Bai Muchuan laughed. “Someone has a sweet mouth today?”
Xiang Wan giggled, clinging onto him as they walked out of the store when she thought of something. “You don’t need pajamas?”
Bai Muchuan: “I don’t need it.”
“Eh? Why?” Xiang Wan blinked as she was puzzled.
Bai Muchuan lowered his head and revealed an evil grin. “I sleep naked.”
Xiang Wan dropped her jaw. “…”
Bai Muchuan was someone who knew how to enjoy life.
If it was within his means, he would always want the best.
When they got out of the mall, he told the cab driver to bring them to the best hotel in Xi City.
However, this guy, who spent money without raising an eyebrow, actually used ‘saving money’ as a reason to book only one hotel room.
Xiang Wan’s face was blushing with shyness—even her eyes were red when she heard that and she secretly tugged his sleeves.
“Bai Muchuan.”
“Hm?”
“I don’t want.”
Bai Muchuan took a look at her and turned to the hotel receptionist. “Could you please speed this up? My girlfriend is feeling uncomfortable and needs a rest.”
“…”
Why did he have to make it sound as though she was the one in a hurry?
Xiang Wan’s face got redder even more after hearing from that.
The female receptionist took a glance at Xiang Wan without any change of expression. She was used to such situations and did not raise any suspicion about their relationship.
“Sure,” smiled the receptionist, “miss, I need your ID card please.”
Bai Muchuan took a look at Xiang Wan. “ID card.”
Xiang Wan got even more nervous.
But Bai Muchuan was acting like there was nothing wrong with the arrangement, and she didn’t want to make Bai Muchuan look bad in front of others.
Hence unwillingly, she kept quiet, lowered her head to take out her ID card, and handed it over.
“Thank you!”
Bai Muchuan was holding the door card in his hands when both of them entered the elevator. As Xiang Wan had been quiet all this while, Bai Muchuan put his arm around her shoulders and puffed a sigh.
“What is it?”
“Nothing.”
“Then be happier?”
“…”
“Aye! You’re making me look like a bandit who has just kidnapped a girl…”
Pffft! Xiang Wan was amused by his words.
“We can actually look for a cheaper hotel,” she said softly as she looked up, “and we don’t have to spend so much.”
Bai Muchuan replied seriously, “I have trouble sleeping in a cheaper hotel.”
Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. “But you are able to sleep on the sofa in my bedroom?”
Bai Muchuan snickered. “That’s because you’re there.”
“…”
She had to hand it to him.
He could easily flip black from white.
Xiang Wan couldn’t retaliate at all. She was left dumbfounded.
If he could only fell asleep when she was with him, guess she just had to let him be.
What to do? He was the devil she chose, no matter what happened, she should dote on him too.
Pffft! Xiang Wan couldn’t help sneaking a laugh when she thought of that.
“What are you laughing at?” Bai Muchuan gave her a sidelong glance.
“Who else but you?” Xiang Wan snorted and looked at the ceiling of the elevator.
“Hur! You better be…” grunted Bai Muchuan who revealed a meaningful smile and squeezed her on the shoulder. Ding! He stepped out of the elevator first the moment the door opened.
Xiang Wan looked up and was only able to catch a short glimpse of a somewhat evil grin on Bai Muchuan’s face.
“What’s up with you?!”
Bai Muchuan pretended he didn’t hear her giggles.
The corridor of the hotel was covered with a thick layer of carpet. Xiang Wan didn’t pay attention to the color of the carpet. She only knew when she stepped on it, she felt light and her heart was drumming extremely fast as she walked along the corridor.
Was this considered getting a room with him?
Probably due to nervousness, she could feel her palm getting clammy.
Bai Muchuan, on the other hand, looked relaxed as he walked to their room with their bags still in his hands. He swiped the room card and pulled Xiang Wan into the room.
Thud! The door closed.
Xiang Wan’s back was against the door, biting her lip as she looked at his face which was suddenly drawing close to her—at this moment, her heart was racing.
“Bai Muchuan…”
“Hm!”
“You…”
She didn’t know what to say.
She felt uneasy and awkward, and she could only produce a polite smile.
Bai Muchuan paused for a while when he saw her response and patted Xiang Wan on the head as he laughed. He did not come at her like a hungry wolf. Instead, he turned and walked into the room.
“You can go ahead to bath first. I need to make a call…”
“Uh… Okay.”
Looking at his back, her heart gradually came back to its place.
Just as she was picking up the things they bought earlier, and she was about to head into the bathroom, Bai Muchuan suddenly turned around and whistled at her.
“Darling, give yourself a good wash!”
“…”
Xiang Wan blushed; this guy must be teasing her again.
Even though she knew he was just teasing her, she couldn’t help but get emotionally stirred by him.
In the bathroom, she washed over and over again from top to toe.
If it wasn’t because of Bai Muchuan knocking on the bathroom door, she would definitely continue to take her own time to wash.
“Little Xiang Wan, did you faint while bathing?”
His voice sounded unusually seductive when it came through the door in between them.
“… Hm, I’m coming out now.”
Xiang Wan quickly dried herself and put on the sleeping gown which was considered conservative before opening the bathroom door.
“I’m done. You can bath now.”
Her eyes were pinned to the floor as she walked past Bai Muchuan.
She heard a low chuckle.
Bai Muchuan suddenly held her by the wrist and pulled her to face him.
“Let me check if you smelled nice…”
“… You haven’t bathed yet. Quick, go now.”
Xiang Wan said in a rush. She had no idea what she was even talking about.
Her shyness and that embarrassed look were simply interesting when it fell into Bai Muchuan’s eyes.
He pinched her gently by the nose. “I’m thinking of asking you to bath me…”
Xiang Wan glared at him and slapped him on the arm. “Bai Muchuan, you’re so annoying…”
“Tsk!” She heard him groan in pain.
That controlled sound did not seem like he was faking it. That made Xiang Wan startled.
“What happened?”
She paused for a moment as she looked at Bai Muchuan’s eyes and wanted to check his arm.
“Let me see if you’re hurt.”
“It’s nothing!” Bai Muchuan did not manage to dodge away from her hands, and she managed to look at what was underneath his sleeve.
Xiang Wan only knew his sleeves were dirtied because he brawled with those rowdy men. She didn’t realize he actually got scalded in the arm.
The scalded area was small, about two fingers wide and blistered on his right arm. Earlier when she was bathing, Bai Muchuan had treated the wound himself.
Apparently, when he said he needed to make a call, he was asking to have some medical supplies delivered.
Xiang Wan’s eyebrows creased into a concerned frown. “Why didn’t you go to a hospital?”
Bai Muchuan: “It’s such a minor injury. I’ll be disgraced if I go to the hospital.”
Xiang Wan almost broke out in laughter. “Everyone falls sick or gets hurt at times. What’s there to be shameful about going to the hospital?”
Bai Muchuan pulled up a lock of her wet hair out from the towel.
A water droplet flowed onto Xiang Wan’s neck, causing her to quiver. “What are you doing?”
“If others got to know I got into a brawl and even got hurt because of it,” said Bai Muchuan lazily, “it will be too shameful…”
“Urgh!”
She could not understand.
A man’s weird ego.
Thus, she rolled her eyes. “You’re really fine?”
“Yeah, this is just a small wound. But…” Bai Muchuan’s line of sight felt slightly burning. “I’m just worried the wound might get infected after it touched the water…”
“You…”
Did this fellow really want her to bath him?
Oh my god!
“You really need help?”
“What do you think?” Bai Muchuan lifted his arm with difficulty. “Aye, it should be fine. Forget it, you can go.”
“I…”
Xiang Wan’s cheeks flushed red; she was caught in a sticky situation.
He was hurt. If she didn’t care, would it be too cold-blooded and unreasonable of her?
How should she help, though?
Seeing that patch of healthy-colored skin under the collar already gave her butterflies in the stomach. She dared not to think anything more than that…
“Hur! Little silly thing!”
Seeing how her face crinkled together with hesitation, Bai Muchuan laughed and patted her head.
“You really believed it? I’m just teasing you. You can go rest on the bed and need not worry. I’ve bought the waterproof duct tape!”
“…”
With that, he entered the bathroom.
Xiang Wan was a little worried, still rooted at her spot.
“Are you sure you’re really okay?”
“… Otherwise?” Bai Muchuan suddenly stuck his head out from the door. Wearing a half smile and his husky voice, there were as though ripples of electricity in the air. “Do you really want to help me take a bath so you can look at my… Well?”
“What the!” Xiang Wan wanted to shove him in, but he was fast to shrink back and he directly shut the bathroom door.
She could hear his merry laughter from the bathroom.
Xiang Wan was still blushing as she sat on the soft and comfortable bed. Looking at the clean and white beddings, her heart was in a fluster.
Was she really going to spend the night with Bai Muchuan? She couldn’t stop thinking about it.
