Or else, what?
Call the police?
When he thought of that, he almost wanted to burst out laughing.
“What will you do?” Now that Tang Yuanchu took the initiative, he was smiling and became more confident. This was something that had never happened before, ever since he developed feelings for Xie Wanwan… At that time, she was a famous celebrity in his heart; she was older than him; no matter if it was age or career, she had an overwhelming advantage. He was like an idiot who lost his eloquence for he was always unable to tell her that he likes her.
That impetuous moment earlier…
He told her how he felt towards her.
Now that he had gotten it off his chest, he felt relieved.
It wasn’t that hard…
She wasn’t as arrogant or wayward as he imagined…
To the extent that he felt that she was just a paper tiger.
“Xie Wanwan!” Tang Yuanchu held her wrist firmly. Slowly, his other hand placed on her waist and he tried to embrace her. When he didn’t receive a lot of resistance, he started to embrace her tighter. “No matter what kind of trouble you encounter, I’m willing to shoulder and solve it with you. Tell me, please?”
He was still a big boy.
He really did mind when she specifically “chased” him out of the interrogation room.
However, Xie Wanwan couldn’t answer him. She didn’t even know what to say when he embraced and looked at her like that…
She had never experienced such a ‘terrifying’ moment…
She had never felt that before.
She felt that she wasn’t herself.
Her face was burning, there was perspiration on her back and her heart was beating unusually loud to her ears. She was so nervous that there was an adrenaline rush; she could hear his every word but her brain didn’t seem to be working as if deprived of oxygen and her body was quivering slightly that she didn’t seem to have control over…
It was not dislike.
It was an emotion that she never felt before.
It was not that she had never been hugged or kissed by another…
But she had never liked it.
“What happened to you?”
Tang Yuanchu noticed that her body was stiff and detected that she didn’t seem to be fine.
“You… let go of me.”
Xie Wanwan was gasping and didn’t dare to look at his eyes. She took a breath and pushed him away sternly. “Out of my way!”
“…”
Tang Yuanchu was startled and let go of her.
The moment he loosened his grip, she was far away from him in no time.
Like a dog that had lost its home and was in a panic, Xie Wanwan held her bag so tightly that her fingers went pale. She dashed down the steps quickly as if she was escaping someone and quickly got into her car—
Thud!
The car door was closed and locked.
She covered her face, feeling dizzy as though her brain did not have enough blood flow.
She leaned on the steering wheel.
Not far away at the steps, Tang Yuanchu was looking at that car.
The car didn’t move, he didn’t move.
…
…
“Bai Muchuan?”
In the office, Xiang Wan was leaning on the desk as she looked at the man who was working seriously.
“Hey…”
“Mm?” Bai Muchuan’s eyes were as though X-ray scanning the area as he took a glance at her.
After that, he continued to do his work.
An hour had passed.
It had been more than an hour and he still hadn’t finished his work?
Xiang Wan felt troubled!
She wanted to know what they had said earlier…
Why didn’t Bai Muchuan tell her?
“Could it be…” Xiang Wan dreaded to think of that. “For the sake of ‘The Grey List’, did Xie Wanwan agree to… with that man? You’re the author of ‘The Grey List’ and the IP belonged to you as well. As she did all these because of you, you feel indebted to her… Tsk… it hurts!”
“…”
Bai Muchuan was speechless.
“You’re making up stories?”
Xiang Wan deliberately gave a shudder. “Don’t tell me I got it right?”
Bai Muchuan looked at her pair of distinctive, clear eyes and suddenly knocked her head.
“Aren’t you silly?”
“Ouch!” Xiang Wan soothed her head and pouted deliberately at him. “That hurts! Forget it… What’s the big deal, just continue to keep your mouth shut! Hmph!”
She would back off for now!
She turned away as she pouted and spoke in a sad tone. “I’ll make a move first. I won’t disturb you further and be a nuisance…”
Her shoulders drooped and she seemed down in the dumps. It took Bai Muchuan only a second to react to it.
“Hold it! Where are you going?”
Xiang Wan turned her head slowly. “I’m going to reflect on my mistakes in solitude!”
The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips turned upwards and he patted his thighs with a half-smile. “Come here!”
Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment and looked at the ceiling. “I don’t think… this is appropriate?”
Bai Muchuan thought for a moment and repeated the same thing. “Come here!”
“Alright! You’re the one who wanted me to stay…” Xiang Wan walked over slowly, sat down on his thigh and put her hands around his neck. “Alright,” she said listlessly, “you may start!”
Aye!
Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh.
“What should I do with you? Little Xiang Wan, you couldn’t tell what I wanted?”
“What?” Xiang Wan was surprised.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you. I was thinking…” Bai Muchuan lifted his chin and seemed to be in a difficult position. “Is it alright to take this matter as a chapter for you?”
“!”
Xiang Wan was astonished by him.
How did he sound so natural when he actually wanted to use this matter to ask for ‘benefits’?
She asked, “You’re serious?”
Bai Muchuan nodded his head. “I’m serious. So are you willing?”
“…”
What the!
How could he think of this?
Xiang Wan frowned but acceded to his request anyway. “Fine! It’s a deal!”
“You need not consider?”
“There’s no need to. It’s just a chapter.”
