Chapter 273 - There’s Only a Princess at Home (1/2)
When Bai Muchuan came out, he was wiping his hair dry.
Under the warm, orange light, Xiang Wan was busy tapping on the keyboard.
Bai Muchuan stood behind her for a moment. But she was totally oblivious to the surrounding, immersed in her own world.
He gave a sigh and took a bottle of mineral water for boiling. Moments later, he poured a glass of hot water and placed it on the edge of her table.
“It’s too hot for now. Drink it after it cooled down a little.”
Xiang Wan reacted after hearing his voice.
She looked up at him, her eyes smiling. “Thank you, darling!”
Hur! What a sweet tongue.
Bai Muchuan laughed and patted her head. “Do your best!”
“Yes.” Xiang Wan held his hand. “So, I’ll get back to writing now?”
“Go ahead. I’ll go over to Laowu’s room.”
“Okay.”
That was 10:00 p.m. at night.
For him, it seemed to be rather early to rest for the day.
Moreover, they had a mission tomorrow. Xiang Wan had guessed that they might need to discuss more on the mission which she was not convenient to be a part of it, so she might as well work on her story.
…
Bai Muchuan changed into some casual wear and took a look at the woman whose eyes were focused on the laptop in front of her. He did not interrupt her and left the room quietly.
As soon as he closed the door, he saw Quan Shaoteng who also happened to come out of his room.
The two of them met each other’s glance.
“Where are you doing?” Quan Shaoteng chuckled. “Your girlfriend’s sleeping?”
“She’s busy with her work.” Bai Muchuan lifted an eyebrow. “Where are you going?”
“Where else can I go? Isn’t there a foot spa on the second floor? I want to soak my feet and relax.”
Previously, Bai Muchuan and his team had already come up with rules that during their trip to Nanmu, they must not leave the team without permission, nor could they leave the hotel without a good reason.
However, having leisure activities within the hotel was not part of the rules.
Bai Muchuan scoffed at him. “This is the Young Master Syndrome!”
“Well, I’ve nothing to do?” Quan Shaoteng sneered, his gaze felt like knives. “If not for you, would this young master come all the way from the Capital to this terrible place and endure hardships?”
“So?” Both of Bai Muchuan’s hands were in his pockets as he laughed indolently as if he was waiting to hear more complaints.
“Of course, you need to accompany me there!” Quan Shaoteng immediately pulled him along. “Just come!”
…
Prior to taking the elevator, Bai Muchuan sent a message to Xiang Wan.
“Our next-door neighbor, Laowu, invited me for a foot spa on the second floor. Let me know when you’re done.”
Xiang Wan’s reply came in fast. “Okay.”
It was just a simple word that indicated no objection nor emotion.
Truth be told, Bai Muchuan was a little confused about women.
“Just look at you!” Quan Shaoteng mocked at him and pressed the elevator. “Little Bai, after seeing how you are, I feel that I’m so fortunate!”
“Fortunate?” Bai Muchuan asked casually, his mind was not focused on him.
“I feel fortunate that I’m still a bachelor!” Quan Shaoteng laughed casually. “It feels too good to be single. When I think of it, I don’t even want to ‘activate’ my luck with women next year!”
“…”
Oh, so he believed in what Zhan Yuan said?
Bai Muchuan laughed at him indifferently. “This excuse sounds perfect!”
“What excuse?”
“For not able to get a girlfriend!”
“You’re asking for a beating?”
“Your eye doesn’t hurt already?”
“D*rn!” Quan Shaoteng pushed the rim of the pair of shades he was wearing and flicked his hair in a dashing manner. “Don’t you think that women are too troublesome?”
Bai Muchuan shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the changing numbers of the elevator.
“I don’t think so.”
“Masochist!”
“…”
“Think about it, you have to coax her, protect her and even guess what’s she’s thinking. When you accidentally offended her, d*rn, her princess syndrome acts up and you still need to go after her—tch, tch, I can’t figure out why would one want to torture themselves like that?”
“Nah, princess syndrome is only applicable to others.” Bai Muchuan looked at him as though he was flaunting. Next, he enunciated every word. “As for my girlfriend, she’s a princess, but she does not have the princess syndrome.”
“Are you sick or something?”
“Are the games not fun enough?” Quan Shaoteng sighed. “The alcohol doesn’t taste good enough? Or your work’s not tough enough?”
Bai Muchuan was amused by him. “Are you silly?”
“Buddy!” Quan Shaoteng held him at the shoulder and shook his head. “You’re finished. Just one look and I can tell that you’re totally into the relationship!”
Bai Muchuan smiled coolly. “You are not a fish; how do you know what constitutes the enjoyment of fishes?”
Quan Shaoteng shot a glance from the corner of his eyes, revealing a cold smile. “Tell me then, where’s the enjoyment?”
Bai Muchuan’s eyes deepened. “You’ll understand when your intelligence’s fully ‘grown’. The enjoyment is boundless!”
“Goodness! You’re lewd!”
“We’ve arrived!”
…
Ding!
The elevator arrived on the second floor.
When the two of them walked out of the elevator, Bai Muchuan turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
From the left, the other elevator had also arrived and two familiar figures stepped out of the elevator.
It was Meng Chi and Yu Ning.
Yes. The male lead of “The Grey List”.
This person was always keeping a low profile. From the publicity point of view, Yu Ning was as though living in the shadow of Ye Lun!
The four of them met—two groups of men—they were stunned.
