499 Fool Around (1/2)

The mobile phone she was using was Bai Muchuan's backup phone.

Bai Muchuan obviously hesitated for a moment when he suddenly received a phone call. ”… You're up?”

His voice was deep and sounded pleasing to the ear.

It sounded especially nice in that morning.

Xiang Wan had a sweet smile on her face as she thought of last night subconsciously…

She felt her face burning slightly, and she cleared her throat. ”Have you eaten breakfast?”

This guy had left the dormitory long ago.

She wanted to have breakfast with him. However, Bai Muchuan paused for a moment, and Xiang Wan heard that he seemed to be talking to Quan Shaoteng in the background before answering Xiang Wan in a serious tone. ”I need to go to a crime scene now! I can't join you for breakfast. Are you going back to accompany Fang Yuanyuan, or will you stay in the office?”

Crime scene?

There's another new case? she thought.

Or are there new developments in the case?

Xiang Wan deliberated for a moment. ”Can I come along with you?” she asked in a soft voice.

Bai Muchuan stayed silent. ”…”

Xiang Wan continued, ”Others might look me down on me if I don't show any results at work!”

The man at the other end of the phone froze for a moment.

There seemed to be a sigh coming from him.

”Come down quickly then! I'll only wait for two minutes.”

…

Two minutes?

Hurhurhur! Not a problem at all!

Xiang Wan felt fortunate that she had already gotten everything ready in advance!

She quickly put on a light-colored lipstick, took her laptop bag, and left the dormitory. She ran through the long corridor and rushed down the stairs. She looked around and found Bai Muchuan's car at the main entrance.

Tang Yuanchu was there as well, acting as their chauffeur.

Xiang Wan was surprised. ”Just the three of us?”

Didn't he say he wanted to go to a crime scene? Three of them seemed too little.

Bai Muchuan glanced at her. Although it was an indifferent gaze, it was already a huge improvement compared to before they had made up with each other. Maybe he felt a little embarrassed by Xiang Wan's warm gaze, he cleared his throat and pretended that nothing had happened last night.

”The rest have already set off.”

So that meant he was waiting for her?

He was pretending then!

Xiang Wan felt elated inside and smiled at him. She also pretended that she had suffered a memory loss while looking indifferent as she hopped onto the car and rubbed her hands. ”I didn't expect that I'm actually quite important.”

Bai Muchuan scoffed. ”Cos your 'face' is big!”

Xiang Wan took a sidelong glance at him; she pouted slightly at him and wanted to laugh but she managed to contain it.

It was a good thing that he was joking around.

It's a good sign!

It was also a good thing that he said she had a big ”face”, for it meant that she was important to him.

Xiang Wan touched her face and behaved as if she was all serious by taking his remark literally. ”I think it's fine? You like it right?”

Bai Muchuan looked away, seemingly embarrassed.

Cough! Xiang Wan suddenly felt like laughing.

After a happy night, she did not want to think about the little awkwardness they had around each other.

Moreover, they were on their way to a crime scene, everything else had to come after work.
