Chapter 455 - Equals (1/2)

The “battle” at the study ended when they returned to the bedroom and wash each other up for the night.

Of course, Xiang Wan was so tired that she didn’t feel like moving. Hence, Bai Muchuan was fully responsible to handle the aftermath.

She felt weak and soft, which was unlike her usual self. Instead, she was like a soft animal that was hanging onto him while allowing him to handle everything, and finally, he sent her onto the warm bed.

“I’m so beat up…”

“Go for a jog tomorrow morning then!”

Bai Muchuan squeezed her waist and remarked with a sigh.

“You are too weak. I don’t even have the heart to continue…”

What?

He said he didn’t have the heart then who was the one “exercising” with her earlier?

Xiang Wan frowned. “… I don’t want to jog!”

“Mm?” Bai Muchuan kissed her lips. “Really?”

“No, no! I don’t want to jog!”

Xiang Wan covered herself under the quilt, but Bai Muchuan pulled her out.

“Go for a jog?”

“No!” She covered her eyes and shook her head like a rattle drum…

“I’ll fight anyone who asks me to wake up early to jog!”

“Fine, so be it…” Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh then laid beside her closely. As if that was not enough, he decided to hold her in his arms and cuddle together. Only then did he let out a satisfied snort and buried himself in her neck.

“Little Xiang Wan…” he asked in a gentle tone, “Are you happy?”

“… Mm.”

“Do you think it’s tough?”

“No… why would I feel that way?”

Xiang Wan yawned and murmured.

They were exhausted after a long day. It was difficult to have such a special moment where they could quietly hide in a quilt and talk. It was originally a very blissful thing to do.

However… it was too comfortable. Sleepiness gradually kicked in and Xiang Wan soon realized that she couldn’t open her eyelids.

When she didn’t hear Bai Muchuan’s reply anymore, she almost fell asleep.

“What happened to you?” she asked.

“Nothing.” Bai Muchuan sounded relaxed and from his tone, he didn’t sound like he was about to be asleep. “I’m just worried that you’re feeling tough, worried that you’re too tired, and worried that you’ll feel unhappy…”

… Mm?

Was she still talking to Bai Muchuan? she thought.

Xiang Wan’s groggy head sobered up a bit.

She turned around and put her arms around his neck before cuddling him close.

“Sir Little Bai, what happened? Did someone provoked you or something?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“Well, from your words, I can sense that you’re feeling insecure?”

“Ahem!” Bai Muchuan’s hand around her waist tightened a little. “Of course, it’s because my Teacher Xiang is too good…”

“…”

Xiang Wan felt speechless at his remark.

She had heard of compliments before.

There were quite a lot of people who said she’s kind.

However, compared to Bai Muchuan or Second Young Master Mu…

Any of his identities would win her completely.

Xiang Wan was even more clear-headed than earlier since she felt a twinge of strangeness in his remark.

“You wanted to give me your mansion and now you’re feeling insecure… Bai Muchuan, did something happen to you?”

Just like any woman all over the world, she could notice the subtle change in the emotions of her man.

Facing Xiang Wan’s bright eyes, Bai Muchuan pressed his lips together and remained silent for quite a while. “We’re going to the Capital soon.”

“And?” Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows.

“I…” Bai Muchuan’s thin lips pressed tightly together. “That family… is a mess! When you meet them, and someone says something unpleasant, you mustn’t take it to heart. If you’re not comfortable, you need to tell me directly. We need not bother with them…”

“I won’t take it to heart.” Xiang Wan planted a kiss on his lips. “You can do so many things for me, so why can’t I do the same?”

Bai Muchuan shared his family background to her when they were at Vulture’s Mouth.

He didn’t give a lot of details, but Xiang Wan could draw some inferences about his relationship with the Bai Family already.

Maybe, the actual situation was worse than what he told her.

When she faced them directly, it might be harder and more difficult than she imagined…

However, if she was with him, then why not?

“I understand. You’re afraid that I might feel belittled or hurt, right?” Xiang Wan suddenly laughed. She hugged him tightly with the entirety of her body for warmth, but she still felt that it was not enough and put her legs around his waist like an octopus. Only then did she heaved a sigh of satisfaction as she enjoyed the warmth of his body.

“Be rest assured, Little Chuanchuan! The woman you took a fancy to is not bad at all!”

Hur!

Her humorous words and lighthearted tone amused Bai Muchuan.

“What do you mean?”

“It means that me, your little fairy, knows when to yield and when not to. I’ll overcome all obstacles that come my way~”

When she said this, she snorted and clenched her little fist.

“If anyone dares to bully my Little Chuanchuan, I will beat all the teeth out of them…”
