Chapter 588: Would You Still Treat Her like That?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Bai Muchuan entered the house, Xiang Wan thought her eyes were playing a trick on her.
“You… you’re actually back?”
Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows. “Because you missed me.”
“…”
The two of them looked at each other.
Nonetheless, both of them cracked up in a second.
“Cut it out!”
“You said you missed me, now you wanted to take back your words?”
“Hey, hey, hey—” Fang Yuanyuan looked at him then looked at her. She felt as if the sofa was suddenly prickly. “Look at you two, I can’t take it anymore. I need to give my Huanghuang a call now to heal my heart!”
She blinked at Xiang Wan then carried Blackie with her to her room.
Xiang Wan was simmering in laughter and she scrunched up her nose at Bai Muchuan.
“You’re really… you made this look pretentious.”
Bai Muchuan pursed his lips as he stared at her, then he strode to her, took her waist and kissed her without another word…
Xiang Wan: “…”
She was blushing and her heart was pounding. She was a little rejective toward the overzealous kiss. However, Bai Muchuan refused to let her go. His arms around her tightened and the kiss got deeper and deeper. Both of his palms and fingers felt scorchingly hot. In just a moment’s time, he was as if transformed into a hungry beast. That eager look was as though he wanted to gobble her up in one mouth…
“Mm, Bai Muchuan…”
Xiang Wan could feel goosebumps all over her body.
While he stopped to breathe, she grabbed the chance to turn her head away.
“What are you doing…?”
As she turned away, Bai Muchuan’s lips landed on her neck instead.
His warm breath felt ticklish…
Xiang Wan quivered while Bai Muchuan laughed in a low tone.
“Let’s talk in our room.”
“…”
Bai Muchuan had not come back home for two days straight. He came back for about slightly more than an hour before he left again, bringing along Xiang Wan with him.
Fang Yuanyuan ended up being home alone and was really bored.
Fang Yuanyuan messaged Huang He for a chit-chat.
“Huanghuang, do you think that the two of them are sick or something?”
“Those that you think are sick… should be rather normal?”
“What? You’re going against me?”
“No, no, no, I wanted to say… I’m really sick. Why did you think of me as normal?”
“Sick? What sickness do you have?”
“Lovesickness.”
“…”
When Xiang Wan sat inside Bai Muchuan’s car, she was exhausted and started to complain that her waist felt sore and she had a little difficulty walking. She couldn’t stop grumbling at Bai Muchuan for not knowing how to be gentle. The moment she stepped into Serious Crime Division One and saw the busy scene in front of her, she immediately perked up and entered work mode.
“What’s my mission?”
“Later on, Tang Yuanchu will carry all the related documents to your office.”
Bai Muchuan raised his wrist to look at the time and pointed at the direction of her office. “Let’s go to your office.”
“Got it.”
When the two of them were in work mode, they were very serious.
Their businesslike manner made the police officers passing by take another look at them.
Although Xiang Wan had not come to Serious Crime Division One for a few days, everyone didn’t forget the fact that she was the personal assistant of the Criminal Psychologist. The officers who saw her greeted her warmly. “Teacher Xiang.” Even Cheng Xin greeted her sweetly from a distance as if nothing unhappy ever happened between them.
Wow!
Cheng Xin actually made great improvements.
She finally knew how to control and restrain herself!
Xiang Wan glanced back and nodded at Cheng Xin. While walking to her office, she kept smiling.
Bai Muchuan looked at her with his eyebrows crumpled in puzzlement. “What’s so funny?”
Xiang Wan cleared her throat. “It’s nothing. I think my office should be dusty and might even smell moldy.”
She pushed the door of her office—and found her office spick and span. It certainly didn’t look like she had been away for days.
The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips quirked upwards, his smile suggested that he was waiting for her praise.
“How is it?”
Xiang Wan knew that he must have asked the janitor to help clean her office. “Thank you, Boss.”
Hmph! Bai Muchuan turned back for a moment to see if anyone was behind them. Then he lowered his volume. “Please change to another form of address.”
“Your Excellency?”
“… You want me to teach you a lesson?”
“Little Chuanchuan, Little Baibai, Little Mumu, my mighty Young Master Mu…?”
Bai Muchuan pulled a long face. “Can I strangle you to death?”
“This is Serious Crime Division One,” declared Xiang Wan seriously. Then she suddenly stuck out her tongue at him mischievously. “Even though you’re my hubby… It’s still a crime to commit murder.”
What a crafty woman.
It only took her a second to win their little ‘argument’.
Bai Muchuan broke into a smile.
“You sure know how to talk!” His finger poked Xiang Wan’s forehead and walked into the office.
Xiang Wan followed. “Your Excellency, thank you for sparing my life!”
“…”
That evening, Bai Muchuan sat down in her office and dialed Tang Yuanchu’s number. That young fellow soon appeared with a pile of information.
“Teacher Xiang, the dossiers of the ‘zombie’ case are all here.”
Her mission that night was to look through all these dossiers and give an analysis from the angle of criminal psychology. She had to do a profiling of the characters related to the case… The dossiers of the case were very thick. The mission seemed to be tough but Xiang Wan’s eyes seemed to be sparkling; her face was full of curiosity.
As she looked through the dossiers, Bai Muchuan sat beside her and offered his explanations.
The two of them were so engrossed in work that they forgot there was still someone with them inside the office.
Tang Yuanchu stood before the office desk and looked at them for a moment then lowered his head quietly.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work.”
“Mm.” Bai Muchuan responded, looking indifferent as usual. “Go ahead.”
Tang Yuanchu nodded his head and walked two steps before he stopped and turned to look at Bai Muchuan. He seemed as if he didn’t want to leave the office at all.
“What’s up?” Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow.
“Captain Bai…” Tang Yuanchu spoke in a low pitch and sounded serious. “I think you’re being overly cautious and serious with regards to Xie Wanwan. She’s a public figure but has been repeatedly summoned by the police. This is something that would affect her image greatly. She’s already bearing the brunt of the storm as though standing on a cliff, I feel that we’re making things worse for her.”
“Overly cautious and serious?” Bai Muchuan laughed at his remark.
He tapped on the table a few times before giving a heavy knock; his face sank at that moment as well.
“Tang Yuanchu, do you think of Serious Crime Division One as a marketplace that allows you to bargain? Or do you think that laws are made just for show?”
“I don’t mean that.” Tang Yuanchu’s head lowered even further but his tone was firm and determined.
Ten seconds later, he seemed to have thought properly about what he wanted to say when he lifted his head and faced Bai Muchuan’s cold line of sight directly.
“In this case, she has always been the victim. The cases that happened while the movie ‘Before Doomsday’ was showing at the cinemas, was not something that she could have prevented. In the end, the movie was banned and she suffered a loss… She has no motive to do this and has no relation to this case at all. Next, some of the participants of Operation Heaven’s Wrath are her fans. This is even more far-fetched. The law has never indicated that idols have to pay for what their fans did. What’s more, she is already being attacked by public opinion because of this. And instead of protecting the victim, we’re adding fuel to the fire, isn’t this against our principles?”
For the past two days, Tang Yuanchu had been paying attention to how the public, in general, viewed the case.
As Xie Wanwan’s fans were involved in the case, it got spread really fast.
The netizens’ actions were like describing the wind as the rain, coming up with their own versions of the story, some of them completely made up. Their comments were really terrible…
Some of the comments were so offensive that he couldn’t imagine that these people were actually educated. How could they attack a frail woman with such vulgar, abusive comments?…
“This society is too unfriendly to women.” Tang Yuanchu gulped and looked directly at Bai Muchuan again, fearlessly. “If we do this, I feel that we are part of the people who want to see her downfall. Captain Bai, if Teacher Xiang was in the position of Xie Wanwan, would you still treat her in this manner?”
