Chapter 358: What Kind Of Surprise?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Uh!

Xiang Wan met his warm gaze and felt ticklish at her earlobe as his breath fell on her ear.

“What is it?”

“Make a guess!”

“I have no clue!”

She brushed it off directly.

Bai Muchuan did not want to let her off by squeezing her waist.

“Are you going to guess or not?”

“Ha! Haha! Don’t!” Xiang Wan couldn’t stand the ticklish feeling. She tried to free herself but Bai Muchuan caught her again.

He carried her and strode into the room where he put her gently on top of the soft quilt on the bed. Then he tickled her gently. “Are you going to make a guess?”

“Hahaha… Please… Your Excellency, don’t do this! It’s ticklish!”

“Why do I want to do this if it’s not ticklish?” Bai Muchuan was nonchalant to her pleas. “Hurry up! Make a guess!”

“… Okay, okay, okay. I’ll guess!”

What surprise is there by going to the pharmacy?

In this limited space for thinking, Xiang Wan could not think of what surprise Bai Muchuan had gotten for her.

“Candy?”

“It’s sweeter than candy.”

“…”

What is sweeter than candy? she thought.

“I really don’t know!”

She lifted both arms to surrender.

“Please! Just tell me what it is, don’t keep me in suspense!”

Bai Muchuan laughed. A proud and smug look appeared on his face and from his pocket, he took out a box of…

Condom…

Xiang Wan stared hard at the item, dumbfounded.

As for Bai Muchuan, he continued to ask with much interest.

“Are you surprised? Happy or pleased?”

“I…”

Xiang Wan was actually cussing inside her head. Why would she be happy?

But—at the very least, Xiang Wan was not an uncouth girl after all.

Hence, Xiang Wan smiled sweetly at Bai Muchuan. “So this is the surprise you prepared for me?”

A beam flashed past Bai Muchuan’s face, and he gave a kiss on her lips.

“Ain’t I great? I know what you’re thinking and what you need…”

Who’s actually thinking and needed that?

Xiang Wan gulped!

She would tolerate it!

Thus, she showed another smile.

“So this is the actual reason for rejecting Meng Chi in such a cool manner, as well as telling Quan Shaoteng… that you’ll be busy tonight?”

Bai Muchuan smiled, but it was gone in a flash. “Of course… not.”

“…”

“Hmph! Am I a person who can’t separate work from personal matters?”

Xiang Wan could swear that she really could not guarantee if he was such a person at that moment.

“Then why didn’t you agree to talk to Meng Chi? He already told you it’s about the case…”

“Hur, your words are strange! You mean I have to talk to him when he wanted to talk to me?”

“Otherwise?” He’s the police after all!

“What kind of joke is this?” Bai Muchuan snorted coldly, “Am I someone whom another can easily meet when one feels like it?”

After that, he embraced Xiang Wan tightly and smiled dotingly at her. “Of course, you’re the exception. You can come to see me whenever you feel like it…”

“Nah!” Xiang Wan glared at him. “This couldn’t be the real reason, right?”

Was this a suitable time to talk about this?

Bai Muchuan swept a glance at the ‘innocent’ condoms that she placed aside.

He sighed, “I hated it the most when others are pushy!”

“…” Xiang Wan could not understand.

“How is Meng Chi pushy?”

Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes coldly. “By getting a bunch of b*stards and waited for me at the lobby and used the case as an excuse. He had thought that I wouldn’t refuse him? If this is not pushy, what is?”

It sounded reasonable!

“You also have a lot of excuses,” Xiang Wan chortled. “Anyway, I don’t want to get involved!”

“If you don’t get involved with me, who would you get involved with?” Bai Muchuan stroked her hair with a half-smile. “Tonight,” he said meaningfully, “no matter what, I won’t let you off…”

“…”

This is too embarrassing!

Xiang Wan raised her hand, wanting to hammer him, but he caught her.

As if he had been tolerating for quite a while, Bai Muchuan kissed her passionately and in a short period of time, both of them stripped half of their clothing to the floor…

The kisses left him panting and gasping. The thin layer of clothing could not keep the heat away as their warm bodies entangled together.

“Bai Muchuan… be gentle!”

She was also gasping for breath in his heavy kisses…

“Little Xiang Wan, I want you…”

Xiang Wan’s cheeks were boiling hot and her sight felt somewhat misty.

She did not respond, yet his heart was drumming away in excitement…

“Don’t look at me like this! Be good!”

Bai Muchuan kissed her moist lips; his seductive voice said softly in her ear.

“Tell me, you’ll give it to me, okay?”

“…”

Well, it’s already like this, why did he still ask? she thought.

Xiang Wan answered with a lot of difficulty. “Mm.”

That response was like a path had been formed through the mountains and obstacles.

Bai Muchuan kissed her passionately like a hungry wolf who saw delicious looking fresh meat…

However, after kissing her a few times, the ‘wolf’ stopped moving. He puffed a sigh which sounded pitiful to the ear, and then he carried Xiang Wan and got out of bed together with some difficulty.

“We… should go for a bath!”

“…”

Xiang Wan’s pulse vibrated within her ears.

Actually, she really liked all these little considerations Bai Muchuan had for her…

She knew he respected her ever since they got to know each other.

Xiang Wan might be different from other women. The three most commonly seen techniques used by domineering CEOs—’forced kiss’, ‘force their love interest to a wall with nowhere to run’, and ‘forced sexual relationship’. She was actually very disgusted of such behaviors…

She felt that this was not what made men attractive and charming.

These behaviors were extremely disrespectful toward women, especially when done against their will…

Nevertheless, as these male leads were carrying the titles of CEOs, it obscured the root of the problem and romanticized such undesirable behaviors which caused many innocent young girls to mistake that it was love. They then, in turn, formed a set of twisted values. When they encountered such harassments in reality, they did not know how to reject and resist such advances…

Thus, she had thought it over before; she would never respect men who did not respect women…

This was also the deepest reason why she did not want to be with Cheng Zheng.

When Cheng Zheng revealed his values and conditions for choosing a mate, Xiang Wan could feel that his sense of superiority was extremely strong back then. Rather, he did not care about her thoughts at that time. He just unilaterally announced that he needed a woman, and she was suitable for him.

It all boils down to the fact that he did not respect women and did not recognize their worth.

Back then, Xiang Wan had already felt uncomfortable.

That impression made it futile for Cheng Zheng to try to establish a relationship with her.

Bai Muchuan was different.

Getting into a relationship was not an easy feat for Bai Muchuan. He might be slow, but he was cautious. Every step he took was done after careful deliberation.

When he couldn’t do something, he would not make empty promises.

When he promised something, he made sure he made it happen.

Moreover, even when he knew he could make a woman submit before him, he would still restrain himself and maintain the status quo, in the fear that if he acted rashly, his beloved woman might have regrets…

A man who respected and knew how to respect women would be able to respect his woman in their days ahead. Only then, the two of them would be equals in their relationship. If one of them were being treated as a lesser presence, one day, if they were to fight over something major, it would end badly…

“Sir Little Bai…”

Xiang Wan felt moved when she thought of this.

Thus, she called him subconsciously.

However, she did not know what to say to him.

Of course, Bai Muchuan would not know what she was thinking.

He would also not know that his beloved woman had already imagined numerous storylines during the short journey from the room to the bathroom…

He lowered his head to kiss her. “Why? Are you feeling shy?”

“Mm…?” When Xiang Wan glanced toward the bright light inside the bathroom, she squinted her eyes.

“Who should bath first?”

“What do you think?” Bai Muchuan’s lips lingered near hers as he delivered some light kisses. “I’ll help you wash your wounded leg…” He smirked, “You’ll help me wash my injured arm. We should help each other out…”

Mutual help, huh?

He had put it as though it was a just cause!

Xiang Wan could not help but laugh at his words.

“Sima Zhao’s intention…”

“There’s no passerby here!” He placed his lips against hers so she wouldn’t speak. He placed the towel as a cushion then put her on the washstand. He stroked her back gently as if he was consoling her while his other hand slowly removed whatever clothing she still had on her…

“Tsk! Little Xiang Wan, you… you’re so beautiful!”

His voice sounded a little hoarse like he was giving a sigh, as he took her hand.

To remove his belt.

…

“Bai Muchuan…”

“Mm, don’t be afraid.”

“You… you’re not nervous?”

“I am, but you’re too beautiful, darling… I don’t want to wait anymore! You’ll bear my last name and will be a part of my family sooner or later. So I thought… why not just enjoy to my satisfaction?”

“Mm, I know…”

“What do you know?”

“That I’m beautiful…”

“…”

“You’re… very good-looking as well.”

“Which part…”

“Mm, all your nine abdominal muscles are nice.”

“…?” When did he ever have nine abdominal muscles?

Bai Muchuan followed her line of sight and chuckled.

“You… Aye, you’re so naughty. Looks like you’re most satisfied with the ninth muscle?”

“You’re so annoying…” Her face was suffused with a rosy hue, and she hit his supposed ninth ‘abdominal’ muscle…

That action!

She was playing coy with him!

It was like an explosive for Bai Muchuan.

He let out a moan. “You naughty little thing! Wait till I finished bathing you, I’ll stew and eat you up!”

“Ah? Wait up! Let me prepare a pot for you!”

“I have the pot. I even have the spatula!”

Bai Muchuan turned on the shower head as he looked at her with a gaze that seemed to say “you’ll know what I mean by that”.

“…” Xiang Wan was speechless.

“Be good and sit down! Leave the rest to me!”

His eyes were bright as stars, filled with emotions.

“…”

During the silence, there was only the sound of water.

After Bai Muchuan filled the tub, he came over to carry her.

His warm breathing felt like it was clinging onto her ears, stirring up a series of ripples in her heart.

She was quivering as she closed her eyes.

“Don’t worry! I’ll cherish you!”

Bai Muchuan’s service was gentle as well as meticulous.

It melted her heart.

The water felt like it had swept her heart away.

Slowly, it submerged her…
