Murder the Dream Guy

Chapter 240: For Your Sake

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

How can this be considered enough?

Is he unwilling or he couldn’t... get it up?

Men were supposed to be visual animals, right?

Xiang Wan’s inner thoughts were written all over her face.

Bai Muchuan was amused and annoyed with her. He pinched her and only let go when she complained of pain.

“I’m not touching you today. But you—” He squeezed her and proclaimed arrogantly. “Here, here and here. These are all mine. No one else can touch.”

“...” Xiang Wan pursed her lips together and did not say a word.

“Silly little thing, still in a daze?”

Bai Muchuan heaved a sigh, suddenly lowering his head as his lips went against her pink, tender lips. She quivered and her body was stiff as he kissed her full on the mouth. Then he looked at her and pinched her cherry red cheeks.

“Come back to earth! Silly girl... Congratulations on getting off the hook!”

“...”

What a sudden turn of event.

Xiang Wan looked at his pair of wolf-like eyes that had yet to come back to normal. “Why... you’re not willing?”

“Not in this manner.” Bai Muchuan’s attractive voice sounded prudent and insistent. “I feel that if I make love to you in a hotel in a foreign city, I would be disrespecting you...”

“...” Xiang Wan’s eyes lit up.

“My woman deserves better than this.”

His oath was heavy like a mountain. His voice was deep but sexy.

“At the very least, there should be a ring?”

“Bai Muchuan...”

Xiang Wan suddenly felt like tearing up.

She could tell Bai Muchuan wanted her, and even his wet hair seemed to be stained with desire. Yet he told her he would not do that...

No one had ever respected her like that. He treated her feelings and thoughts as a matter of importance, constantly remembering that in his heart.

...

Actually, Xiang Wan did not mind that.

As long as it was him, the location did not matter

However, if she really did it, there would more or less be some regrets.

She was in an unfamiliar city, an unfamiliar hotel, and an unfamiliar bed. It was a far cry from what she had imagined...

“Are you hungry?”

Bai Muchuan looked at her watery eyes and pinched her nose gently with a smile. “Our hotpot earlier is quite a pity. We didn’t even finish our beer...”

“Hm.” Xiang Wan sniffled and took a peek at him, still not saying a word.

“Why are you like this?” Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her in the eyes. “Could it be that... you actually want?”

“What are you talking about?” Xiang Wan squinched up her nose at him before her gaze turned gentle. “I’m worried about your hand. I’m afraid it might get worse. We should go to the hospital...”

“This is really nothing.” Bai Muchuan felt that there was no need to be so worried. “In the past, my injuries...”

He suddenly stopped talking but smiled at Xiang Wan instead. “Don’t think so much. I’m a man after all, and it’s a must to act tough at times.”

“...”

Bai Muchuan had wanted to give her an embrace but immediately thought of the fact he only had a towel on... and gave up the idea.

“I need to change into my clothes. You can think about what we can eat later.”

“...”

Eat again?

Who’s actually the foodie?

In no time, it was proven Bai Muchuan was really a foodie who knew how to appreciate good food better than her.

After changing a fresh set of clothes, he began to use some apps to check out the delicious food of Xi City. That serious look was as though he was studying a case.

Finally, the two chose a famous food street in Xi City.

In there, they could find a wide variety of local snacks and delights of Xi City. They could also stroll leisurely from one end to the other end of the street.

It had been a long time since Xiang Wan could stroll leisurely along the streets together with Bai Muchuan. They talked and ate the food as they walked. She felt that the moment was so blissful they might be in a fairy tale.

“Bai Muchuan.”

She had something in her mind.

“You want to come out because you want to try all these local snacks and delicacies, for real?”

“Hm.”

“Wow, that’s really the case?”

“Hm...”

Xiang Wan wanted to turn and look at his face when he grabbed her arm.

“Eat your food, don’t stop!”

“...”

Xiang Wan noticed his tone was slightly off and felt tense.

But ‘don’t stop eating’ was a major task for her. Even if it was for work, it was difficult.

She frowned at that thought as she continued to nibble her food and tried to speak in the softest tone she could muster but just loud enough for him to hear.

“What’s up?”

“Two of the guys we fought at the hotpot restaurant earlier is behind us.”

Xiang Wan was shocked. “They’re tailing us?”

Could it be that these people wanted to seek vengeance?

At the hotpot restaurant, Xiang Wan had noticed the group of rowdy men were not like ordinary civilians.

By now, she was even more certain of her deduction.

“Did we run into a criminal gang?”

“Obviously—” Bai Muchuan smiled leisurely as though nothing had happened.

“You’re not nervous?” Xiang Wan took him by the arm.

“Don’t ask such a brainless question, it’s not suitable for people who have good looks.”

“...”

Xiang Wan was speechless.

He gave a relaxed smile. “Otherwise, people would say, look at this woman, she’s nothing but good-looking.”

Pffft! It was obviously a very nervous moment, but with his teasing, Xiang Wan burst out laughing.

“You’re hateful! Should I be glad that you didn’t call me a bimbo?”

“I don’t tell lies.”

“What the! Bai Muchuan—” Xiang Wan wanted to teach him a lesson.

However, when she was about to deliver a direct hit on his arm, she got reminded of his injury.

At the same time, it occurred to her that Bai Muchuan had made her laugh in order to make her relax so as to prevent their stalkers from knowing that both of them had already detected their presence.

This man is too thoughtful , she thought.

Hence, she cooperated with him. She appeared totally at ease and grinned at him.

“I want to eat that one—”

“Little foodie!” Bai Muchuan touseled her hair as he patted her head.

“Urgh... my hair’s a mess again.”

Xiang Wan actually could not understand why he liked to pat her head and tousle her hair.

In any case, he really did seem to enjoy doing that—she felt as though he was petting a pet. His gaze was always gentle and tender while doing so.

... Of course, although Xiang Wan always complained or grumbled, she actually liked it.

Soon, the two of them reached the end of the food street.

“Where are we going now?” Xiang Wan did not dare to look back as she did not know if the two stalkers had left.

“They’re gone,” Bai Muchuan answered her.

Xiang Wan felt her heart clasped for a moment.

“You let them go just like that?”

“Otherwise?” Bai Muchuan smiled as a matter-of-factly. “This is not my area of jurisdiction.”

“...”

“Let’s turn back, I’ll send you back to write your chapter.”

“Okay.” Xiang Wan was unable to figure out what he was thinking. “Aren’t you curious as to why the two of them stalked us?”

“Aren’t you curious why are they out in the streets?” Bai Muchuan replied with another question.

“!”

Xiang Wan’s nerves felt as though they were being tugged.

He’s right, why didn’t I think of this critical point?

During the afternoon, this group of people was supposed to be sent to the police station.

Not only did they appear at the streets, but they also stalked Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan. This was proof enough that they were fine and—they KNEW their whereabouts.

It should be a coincidence at the hotpot restaurant, but it couldn’t be a coincidence at the food street.

Urgh, this Xi City! Xiang Wan felt nervous.

She thought of the unlucky case she had gotten into and looked at the wound on Bai Muchuan’s arm.

“Bai Muchuan,” she said with some hesitation, “why don’t we just go back to the Capital?”

Bai Muchuan: “Tomorrow—”

Xiang Wan gave him a quick glance. “Since you’re staying to assist the Criminal Investigation Unit in Xi City, why don’t you tell them about this incident...”

After all, this matter took place in their territory; it was only reasonable to inform and let them handle the issue.

However, Bai Muchuan only gave a smile.

“Assistance is assistance, but this is my own matter. I don’t like to owe favors.”

The way he put it was as though it was his own problem.

However, it was not entirely his own personal problem. Nonetheless, Xiang Wan believed him. She nodded her head and did not ask anymore.

...

Back at the hotel, in order to maintain a steady pace of updating, she began to immerse herself into writing her chapters.

Bai Muchuan did not leave the hotel room but laid on the bed, playing with his mobile phone.

When Xiang Wan was working, she was very focused and felt she was inside her own plot, totally forgetting there was a man lying on the bed. When she finished her new chapter, it was almost 12 midnight.

She stretched herself and took her mobile phone to check “The White List” out of habit.

She was surprised.

There’s a new update!

Second Young Master Mu actually updated!

Although it was only a chapter of 2,000 words, for the loyal fans of “The White List”, it was such a euphoric feeling as though they were celebrating their lunar new year.

The reviews and comments page of “The White List” was filled with cheers of joy from fans. Xiang Wan opened the new chapter in excitement and relished every word of it. Unintentionally, she noticed Second Young Master Mu had updated about 20 minutes earlier than she did.

“What a surprise! This is too amazing.”

She said without looking at Bai Muchuan, as though caught in a certain state of excitement.

“What kind of day is today? I need to check the almanac—”

Hearing her muttering to herself, Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows and swept a glance at her.

“What’s up?”

Xiang Wan: “My idol, Second Young Master Mu updated! Isn’t this considered a good day?”

Bai Muchuan put down his mobile phone and grunted in displeasure. “Little Xiang Wan, your man got hurt today...”

Oh!

Her man got hurt while her idol updated his novel.

If she were to insist that day was a good day, wouldn’t that offend her man?

Xiang Wan propped a hand on her chin. Her eyes were crystal clear with a faint smile. “Are you jealous?”

Bai Muchuan lowered his head and took his mobile phone, revealing a lazy smile. “Wishful thinking!”

“Hmph! Then don’t mind me, you won’t get jealous anyway!”

“Little thing, don’t get ahead of yourself!”

Xiang Wan swept a glance together with a sneaky smile. Seeing that he was really not angry, she sat leisurely on her chair and began to read the reviews and comments page of “The White List”.

Suddenly, she noticed she actually got a reply from Second Young Master Mu on the comment she left.

“I will continue to write for your sake.”
