Chapter 582 - No Other Way Out (1/2)

The relation between Xiang Wan and Xie Wanwan was somewhat complicated.

There was a period of time where Xie Wanwan carried the name of “Bai Muchuan’s girlfriend”. Even if Xiang Wan knew it was just fake, she would still feel awkward about it.

Therefore, Xiang Wan did not really like to come in contact with Xie Wanwan too much.

She was someone whom she couldn’t hate but wouldn’t be able to like much either.

Besides, no matter what the reason was, this gorgeously beautiful woman was friends with Bai Muchuan and had such a painful life experience. Xiang Wan felt that it was rather stressful to deal with a woman like that…

It was somewhat sour as well as heavy.

Xiang Wan preferred to get along with others casually and comfortably.

Xie Wanwan’s presence had never been able to give her that relaxing feeling.

Hence, Xiang Wan turned her request down.

She said that she had to rush to write her story and was rather busy lately.

Xie Wanwan just smiled in understanding and did not try to convince her further.

After that, they parted ways and Xiang Wan felt relieved.

However, the next day, she realized that she was too naive.

Before the sky was fully bright, Xie Wanwan pressed on the doorbell of Bai Muchuan’s house with her shades and mask on, as well as a big luggage suitcase.

At that time, Bai Muchuan hadn’t even woken up yet.

He had sent Xiang Wan home after the dinner and went back to work. He only reached home at two o’clock in the morning.

Xiang Wan wanted him to sleep more so she didn’t wake him up.

In order to let him have a hearty breakfast when he woke up later, she got up early and started to prepare breakfast.

Hence, when Xiang Wan saw Xie Wanwan through the peephole, she had a feeling that she would look like an amiable middle-aged woman alongside the stunning celebrity as she had a ponytail and was wearing a patterned apron…

Oh my god!

Would it be good to meet her “love rival” in this attire?

But if Xiang Wan changed her clothes just to meet Xie Wanwan, wouldn’t that mean she was rather bothered by her presence?

Attaching too much importance to the opponent was actually a manifestation of not having enough self-confidence.

Xiang Wan didn’t want to change her clothes.

She didn’t want to become someone like that either…

Thus, while she was procrastinating, the doorbell rang for the second time.

Xiang Wan was worried that the doorbell sounds might wake Bai Muchuan up and decided to just open the door.

“Miss Xie, what’s up?”

Xiang Wan’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed; her voice sounded grim and there wasn’t much emotion on her face. However, her unhappiness was clear to see.

Xie Wanwan smiled. She removed her shades and glanced toward her suitcase.

“I’ve come to seek refuge.”

Seek refuge?

She wanted Xiang Wan to let her stay in the house?

Were they familiar with each other in the first place?

Why didn’t she go directly to Bai Muchuan instead?

Xiang Wan had a headache.

“Umm… I still don’t really get it.”

Xie Wanwan replied, “I’m at my wit’s end recently.”

Xiang Wan pursed her lips slightly and waited for her explanation.

Xie Wanwan held her suitcase as she stood outside the door, looking at Xiang Wan who was wearing a homely attire and raised her eyebrows.

“I have nowhere else to go. Are you able to take me in for a few days?”

“…”

Xiang Wan was having a hard time trying not to frown. “So Miss Xie, you’re saying that you want to move in here?”

Xie Wanwan: “Can I?”

“Umm…”

She was in a pickle.

If she rejected her outright, it would be really difficult.

Xiang Wan smiled and tried to make her tone sound mild and tactful.

“Miss Xie, you do know that… Currently, only I and Bai Muchuan are living here…”

That meant it was not convenient for her to live there.

Xie Wanwan nodded her head in understanding.

“I know that this is not appropriate. But I really have no other way out.”

As she said this, she looked away and her expression seemed more serious than earlier. “I don’t want to keep this from you. Whatever is happening recently, it’s too abnormal,” her proud demeanor dissolved, showing her helplessness and distress. “The movie ‘Before Doomsday’ was banned from showing at the cinemas because of the ‘zombie’ case. Then it somehow got linked to me and came back to haunt me again…”
