Chapter 403 - His Look of Concern (2/2)

Bai Muchuan did not speak. “…”

He laughed.

He didn’t feel so bad now.

“You really do bring joy to me!”

Just like earlier, he patted Xiang Wan’s head again. It was a very natural behavior that showed their closeness to each other, just like animals who were close to their mates. Their feelings came from their hearts and not their heads. However, an action like this could appear prickly to others—

For instance, Cheng Zheng.

He was sitting at the other end of the row of chairs and looked over impatiently.

“Captain Bai, are we going to that film location?”

His purpose for coming to Nanmu was because they told him to check the place where the two celebrities had exchanged blows.

He was not here to see them display their affection for each other publicly… and it was especially torturing for him to see that.

Bai Muchuan’s line of sight went past Xiang Wan toward the cold and quiet Cheng Zheng. “Wait a moment. We’re going over right now!”

After that, his voice became gentle when he looked at Xiang Wan. “I need to brief them about something first and we’ll set off right away!”

Xiang Wan nodded. “Mm, okay.”

The interrogation of Lima and Abdul had ended.

For Lima, her current situation stipulated that she needed a doctor to assess her condition.

While Ye Lun, Yu Bo, Yu Ning, Meng Chi, and the rest of the people were currently in Xi City, Bai Muchuan asked the detectives to send Lima to the hospital in Xi City for a checkup. They needed to know if she had a mental disorder in the first place or if something unexpected had caused her to become like this. He also wanted them to bring Abdul along to Xi City since they could merge these cases into one.

…

Bai Muchuan returned to them in no time.

Xiang Wan and Cheng Zheng were sitting at the main hall, playing with their mobile phones.

Each sat at one end and did not seem to be talking to each other.

In that Gossip group chat, Tang Yuanchu was asking if Bai Muchuan had set off for a trip to the film crew of “The Grey List”.

Quan Shaoteng dissed him that he should focus his attention on getting well soon and how that had nothing to do with him until he got discharged.

After that, there were no more new messages.

Xiang Wan thought for a moment and sent a picture of Nanmu’s street to the chat group. “Little Tang, guess what this place is?”

Tang Yuanchu responded, “Ahhhhhh! The sky in Nanmu is so blue…”

Xiang Wan replied, “Miss the people in Nanmu as well!”

Tang Yuanchu had a silly smirk on his face. “… Have you gone to the film set?”

Xiang Wan chatted thereafter, “We’re going there soon! Anything I can help to relay?”

Tang Yuanchu replied, “Relay what? To who? I’m the number one online celebrity in the world… Is there a need to do something so troublesome?!”

Xiang Wan chatted back, “All right then, I wish you and Captain Quan—Happy Bachelorhood for the rest of your lives!”

Quan Shaoteng sent an animated puzzled emoticon. “… Did the entire world know that I have no girlfriend?”

Pffft! Xiang Wan was preparing to reply that when she saw a pair of legs standing before her.

He was in front of her, tall and imposing.

She looked up at Bai Muchuan’s face. “Are you done?”

“Mm!” Bai Muchuan had his hands in his pockets; he smiled and held out a hand to her.

At that moment, he looked bright and suave. His expression was no longer heavy, unlike earlier. That made Xiang Wan felt relieved.

“Let’s go!”

Her hand landed on Bai Muchuan’s palm, like a clap and moved away.

They were outside after all; it was not too appropriate to be intimate.

However, while they were together, their moods could affect the other party as well.

If one of them was happy, the other would also be glad.

If one of them was in a bad mood, the other could not stay in a good mood.

Both of them would adjust themselves tacitly and look on their relaxed expressions in each other’s eyes. After that, the three of them walked out of the police station.

The sky was now bright.

The light-colored beams of sunshine were bright and dazzling.

Ooh! It’s a sunny day!

Xiang Wan looked up at the sky for a while with an arm blocking the sunlight.

“Get on,” said Bai Muchuan.

“Okay!” Xiang Wan sat inside the car happily, looking all fresh and spirited.

No matter what time of the day, she would try to be in good condition when she was working—well, even if this was not her job or work at all.

Bai Muchuan’s lips formed a smile when he glanced at her.

Both of them did not talk, but they seemed to share an understanding.

This time round, Bai Muchuan was driving the car. Cheng Zheng sat behind and Xiang Wan took the “wife’s seat”.

Once again, the three of them traveled together.

Cheng Zheng kept quiet while Bai Muchuan started the engine. He then turned around, showing a “concerned and considerate” look.

“You didn’t sleep well last night, right? Take a nap. I’ll wake you up when we arrived. Don’t let this affect your work later.”

“Don’t make such irresponsible remarks.” Cheng Zheng retaliated. It was rare of him to respond sharply and timely.

As he said so, he glanced at Xiang Wan and then looked away. “Do you think I’m like you? I’m in good shape and condition!”

“I see.” Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows before revealing a devilish smile. “You used to be like that, but weren’t you together with a woman last night? I’m worried that your body can’t take it—”
