Chapter 113 Ticklish Neck (2/2)
He hugged a little too tightly, she thought.
Why can't he just give her a little breathing space?
Somewhat exasperated, she took a deep breath and lowered her head to try to remove his hands from her waist. ”I've already made it very clear to you. Don't be like this, tongues will wag…”
”Just let their tongues wag! We won't die from it.” His chin rested on her shoulder and when he turned, his thin lips was just at her neck accompanied by his warm breathing. ”But when you torture yourself like this, I'll be scared to death by you sooner or later!” His feelings felt so strong when he said that.
His breathing caused Xiang Wan to feel ticklish at the neck.
She was moved and excited yet instantly, she awakened from those feelings.
And he said he's never been in love? she thought inside her head.
Such behavior of his is exactly like the textbook for flirting with girls, alright?
It's no wonder he could get the national goddess, the A-List female celebrity as his girlfriend…
Xiang Wan pinched his fingers hard. ”Don't be so mushy! You know better than me that our relationship has not reached such a state. What's the use of saying all these?”
Bai Muchuan's lips curved into a smile. ”So what works? You say it, I'll do it.”
”…” Xiang Wan was speechless and tried forcefully to struggle out of his arms by pinching him even harder. ”Why are you such a scoundrel? I'm very serious.”
”I'm very serious as well.” Bai Muchuan let her pinch him for he knew he was not going to let go of her. ”Don't be angry anymore, alright? I've made things clear with her already…”
This sentence sounded too much like a strategy from the novels.
Xiang Wan's feeling of ”being the third party” deepened.
”That's your business, don't drag me into it, okay?”
”I'm not okay.” Bai Muchuan's hands hugged Xiang Wan's waist tightly. ”You promise me you won't be angry, or I won't let go.”
”Jerk!” Xiang Wan's face was red with anger. He laughed and turned her around to face him. He looked at her face which was filled with fury.
”You're so pretty even when you're angry. You're similar to me in this aspect…”
Huff! Was he praising her or himself?
Xiang Wan was amused yet at the same time still angry with the proud yet shameless Bai Muchuan.
But, she was powerless against him.
He seemed to have smoked a lot of cigarettes. There was a strong smell of tobacco on his body in addition to his pallid face as well as his pair of expressive eyes. It made her heart twitch out of reflex. Even if all her strength was exhausted, there was only a dying struggle, and she bit his arm.
”Are you letting go of me…?”
Bai Muchuan did not move an inch.
He just let her bit him like that.
”If you feel better this way, I'm alright with it.”
”…”
She was unable to continue biting him after what he said.
Xiang Wan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, it seemed slightly red. ”Bai Muchuan, what exactly do you want?”
”I want you to be happier. Even if you're mean toward me… That's fine too.”
”…”
Xiang Wan revealed an awkward but polite smile.
”Actually what happened between us are not that serious. However, if I can make you unhappy, I'll be really glad about it.”
”…”
”Boss! Teacher Xiang!”
For Xiang Wan, Tang Yuanchu came at the opportune moment.
When he arrived, the atmosphere became naturally harmonious and peaceful.
”Get on the car!”
…
They did not drive a police car this time—it was an ordinary family SUV. They drove it toward a small village in the suburbs and did not attract the attention of anyone.
They went to Kong Qingping's hometown, Kong Village. Due to the continuous development and expansion of the city in recent years, there were construction sites as well as the deafening sounds of construction everywhere.
Driving into the village was particularly difficult.
In the current day and age, roads were extensive and made convenient to people. Even in the rural areas of Jin City, it was difficult to find a road that was tough to drive on.
After surviving the bumpy ride, when they reached the village, the sky was already dark.
There were some lights by the roadside, but the village still seemed to be very dark. The addition of the sound of dogs barking painted an entirely different rural lifestyle and pace from the city.
Tang Yuanchu stopped the car by the roadside where there were a row of houses and a small snack shop. A few farmers were chilling by playing cards and chatting with each other.
”Hello, my fellow countrymen, need some help here.” Tang Yuanchu popped his head out of the car. ”How do I get to Kong Qingping's house?”
A woman, who was sitting outside the shop doing some corn husking, pointed toward a direction with the corn cob on her hand. ”Go for another two miles, you'll reach his place when you see a big fish pond.”
”Thank you very much!”
Tang Yuanchu popped back in and started the car.
The night breeze was swirling around, sounds of mahjong and chatting sounds could be heard from the shop.
”I heard Old Kong's son committed a crime again?”
”Good grief, it's murder. That son of his really makes one worry. Ever since young, he's been getting into all kinds of trouble for his old man…”
”Old Kong's family is really draught with problems. Could it be from their ancestral grave?”
”…”
As it was a quiet night, their voices could be heard very clearly.
As Bai Muchuan listened, he suddenly had a change of expression.
”Tang Yuanchu, quick! We need to rush over to the Kong Family.”
”Okay, boss.” Tang Yuanchu was shocked to hear that as he immediately stepped onto the accelerator and without wasting time to ask why.
The car sped off at lightning speed.
Xiang Wan felt a little baffled by his words. ”What happened?”
Bai Muchuan turned back to look at her. ”Didn't you hear the words of the villagers earlier?”
Xiang Wan was perplexed. ”Yes, I heard them. Is there a problem?”
Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes coldly as he looked into the night sky at the distance. There was a faint strange feeling lingering in the air.
”Till now, besides the police and Kong Qingping himself, no one else knew that Kong Qingping has committed a crime 'again'…”
