Chapter 399: Dignity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan were smart.

Perhaps their emotions might influence them and they lost their sensibility temporarily, but they would not let their negative emotions get the better of them for a long time and affect their feelings for each other.

They were not made to bow their heads.

No one had to admit to being wrong either.

Since their lips were already against each other and their bodies close to each other, why would they still need to insist on who was right and who was wrong?

Their emotions were written clearly on their faces.

They put their room card on the room cardholder. Then they turned on the lights and saw their own reflection from each other’s sparkling clear eyes—

Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows, lips pursed into a smile. “Can’t you just let me take the lead, for once?”

Bai Muchuan replied as a matter-of-factly, “This concerns my dignity, of course not!”

“What dignity?” Xiang Wan snorted, “No one else will know...”

It was evident that she didn’t want to back down.

She could not understand the so-called “dignity” of men in such matters...

Bai Muchuan did not intend to explain to her. He embraced her and continued the kiss they had not finished earlier...

He was tall and fit; when he embraced her, it was hard for her to seize control.

The feeling of him dominating her made her feel displeased!

“You liar!” She used her hand to block him. “You’ve promised me before that I’ll listen to you on important matters and you’ll listen to me on small matters! Look what happens now! This is such a small matter, yet you’re unwilling to listen to me. We’ve only dated for months, and you’re already behaving like this. I can already imagine in years to come, I won’t be able to have a place in your heart...”

“...”

She said in a half-mischievous and half-threatening tone!

This was very effective on Bai Muchuan.

He held her fingers and puffed a helpless sigh. “Fine. Say something nice and I’ll comply with your wishes.”

Xiang Wan pouted. “You don’t like to hear what I say, anyway. What else is there to say?...”

Bai Muchuan lowered his handsome face in front of her. “Just say, ‘my darling Gege, I love you the best!”

“...”

These sounded like sentences from those Mary Sue novels!

Oh, darling Gege, huh!?

This three-year-old sounding Bai should use his head more!

Xiang Wan looked at him with a straight face. “I’ve something even nicer than that! Wanna hear it?”

Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows. “What is it?”

Xiang Wan squinted her eyes slowly and drew nearer to his face.

Maybe this behavior of hers had fueled her courage due to the dim atmospheric lights along the corridor or the charming face of Bai Muchuan had bewitched her nerves. Without thinking any further, she came close to his ear and spoke softly in her mellow voice.

“Darling Gege, I love it the most when you make out with me...”

Their warm breath mingled together.

For a moment, Bai Muchuan felt that his brain had suddenly went blank.

She was standing before him.

In this narrow space, they could hear each other’s breathing clearly.

Her breath fell on his face. A faint fragrance seeped in slowly through the tip of his nose!

His hand stroked her face gently, and he kissed her. He took her by the waist and led her to the bathroom without another word.

When the sudden silence took over, Xiang Wan suddenly felt hot and dry.

She knew... what he was about to do.

She looked up at him with her tense and taut body...

The temperature at the bathroom was slowly increasing.

...

The two of them.

Only the two of them.

The world belonged to the two of them.

They had known each other for less than a year; it was such a short time...

Yet they felt like they had gone through a long time together.

They got along so nicely, the embraces, the kisses...

Their souls seemed as if it had melted within each other’s breaths, and their thoughts seemed to have grown some wings for they allowed them to fly away through the night sky...

Was kissing enough?

Of course not!

Was snuggling and cuddling enough?

Absolutely not.

Their passion fully reflected this short moment of pleasure amidst their demanding and stressful work as their breathing gradually grew heavy.

Closer, even closer!

He wanted her to smell like him; she wanted the same.

So that both of them... have each other.

Bai Muchuan placed her on the washstand.

Just like their first time.

She could see the mirror.

Through the mirror, they could see each other’s image...

What happened during their first time was flickering through their minds like a movie, frame by frame...

Xiang Wan felt soft all over. Little by little, her mind started to clear up when she lost all her clothing.

Hmm?

His kisses...

... Made her heart flutter!

Stirring her rationality, making her lost and dazed.

His eyes, however, were filled with clarity.

Through his eyes, she could see her own reflection...

His clothing was still neat and intact, which made her feel shy.

“Wait a while.” He was smiling as he kissed her forehead.

“Fortunately,” he said as he smiled, “I’m prepared this time!”

“...”

Xiang Wan was so embarrassed that it suffused her face with a shade of rosy red.

She knew what he was going to get...

It was not their first time after all.

She knew what would happen next as well.

Not sure why, when Bai Muchuan reentered the bathroom, she could imagine his nice body shape, even though he was wearing clothes—his broad shoulders, narrow waist, those long legs, and well-toned hips...

Her heart couldn’t stop racing...

There was anticipation and nervousness.

Bai Muchuan pulled his pants and looked at her.

“Why are you in a daze, my Queen?”

Xiang Wan avoided his gaze and chuckled somewhat unnaturally. “Good, you know what to do.”

Bai Muchuan approached her. He cupped her face and kissed her gently.

“You don’t know what to do? Do you want me to teach you?”

He said with a smile.

Xiang Wan felt a squeeze in her heart!

I’m dying! she thought.

That smile.

It was too dazzling!

This Bai Muchuan, how could he be so stunning!?

She suddenly closed her eyes, as if it annoyed her. “Don’t seduce me like that, I already confused here...”

“It’s okay!” Bai Muchuan took her waist and let her wrap around his waist. “I’ll do it!”

See who shall take the lead!

See who had more tricks up the sleeve! These words rang in her head.

Xiang Wan noticed that she had lost.

Like soldiers discarding their armor, she was defeated.

Bai Muchuan’s too flirtatious!

He’s too good at flirting!

She lost this round...

She let out a groan because of his sudden passionate kiss. He turned the showerhead on. The warm flowing water stimulated their intense kissing as if they wanted to melt into each other completely...

Two become one.

...

The nights in Nanmu were silent.

Although it was unlike the nightlife of the metropolitan cities, there was no shortage of alcohol.

Alcohol was good.

If it was a group of people drinking, it would be lively.

If one person was drinking, that was loneliness.

Cheng Zheng was sitting inside a bar in a quiet alley by himself.

Actually, he had always felt that drowning one’s sorrows in alcohol was especially pretentious.

He had viewed such men as those who had lost self-control, and he had always despised people like that.

It was ironic that there would be a day when he would actually become a person he had held contempt for.

...

He had seen everything.

The scene where both of them were behaving intimately inside the elevator.

She was the one who initiated that. Like a nymph, she was pressing against him onto the wall of the elevator.

She was kissing and coaxing him.

That was a couple who was throwing their little tantrum because of a trivial matter.

Throughout the journey to Nanmu, he watched the entire episode with mockery and scorn.

He was not gloating over that, but he had hoped that the two of them would break up. He also felt that... love was just like that. A tiny misunderstanding could cause them to refuse to talk to each other for hours. Just what kind of love was that? It was fake, all fake! When there was something that caused them strife, they could easily treat each other like strangers.

Well...

He was wrong.

In places that he could not see...

They could be so close as if they were one.

They would be in each other’s arms; kissing and wishing they were a part of each other—

At that moment, he was in pain. He felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

However, he told himself, “It’s all right.”

That was just a woman who did not like him.

All women in the world were the same.

If it was not her, then it would someone else.

He could do the same as well.

He could find another woman—embrace her, kiss her, make love to her, and share everything personal with her.

...

The smell of alcohol was unpleasant.

Cheng Zheng closed his eyes and chugged down the entire glass of alcohol into his stomach.

Just like those men whom he had scorned, his eyes were bloodshot as he downed the alcohol, letting it burn his stomach—

He felt great!

His brain was drink-fuddled.

The faces of the surrounding people went blurry.

Such a feeling was really great!

He had never drunk alcohol before. At that moment, he had fallen in love with it.

There was some fuzzy music by his ear while the strange smell of alcohol lingered at his mouth—

Cheng Zheng’s lips formed a smile.

Why didn’t he smile?

Why didn’t he smile more?

When he smiled, he could be very charming as well!

If he had learned to smile earlier, would that woman be in his arms instead?

“Mister, are you alone?” A gentle voice came to his ears, carrying the smell of hormones!

Cheng Zheng turned his head and saw a woman.

It was as if there were hooks in her eyes; a half-smile on her face; her sexy lips opened and closed, gorgeous like the fire. She seemed to wait for him to come close to her...

Cheng Zheng’s brain went blank for a second. “If I’m not a human 1 , then am I a dog?”

That’s right!

It suddenly struck him that he had used a wonderful description!

For he felt that he was like a dog!

A dog that ran away and was licking its wounds alone!

That startled the woman for a moment and pointed at the table where he was sitting. “Can I sit here?”

Cheng Zheng responded, “... I don’t own it.”

As the woman gazed at his good-looking, apathetic face that gave her an austere vibe, she felt a strong desire to conquer him.

“Well, I’m the owner here.” She sat down slowly and looked at the alcohol in Cheng Zheng’s glass. “Do you like the drinks here?”

Cheng Zheng’s tongue was, by now, already numb from all the alcohol he had chugged down. “I like it.”

The woman smiled. “How’s the taste?”

Cheng Zheng did not look at her. His eyes were on the glass. “It tasted like formalin soaked in corpses!”

The woman’s jaw dropped. “...”

“Do you know how a body looks like after an autopsy?” Although Cheng Zheng was talking to her, his words made no sense to her at all. “It’s just a woman... every woman has the same body parts. After an autopsy, everything’s the same... Hurhur, what’s so different about her...”

As he said so, he rubbed his forehead and got up from his seat.

The woman had wanted to help him by extending a hand toward him seeing how unsteady his steps were.

However, when she saw his long, almost pale fingers and that cold, detached face of his, she flinched.

“... He must be crazy.”

...

Cheng Zheng was looking down as he staggered his way back to the hotel room.

His room was beside Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan’s room.

The hotel front desk receptionist was so considerate.

As they had checked in together, she arranged for them to stay next to each other.

Hur!

Cheng Zheng grinned as he looked for his room card.

Hmm?

It’s gone.

Where was it?

He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to search for it in his pockets.

Nope, he couldn’t find it.

He slammed his fist against the wall indignantly. Subconsciously, he made his way to the entrance of the room next to his.

He lifted his hand, wanting to knock on their door to ask for help.

He knew that he had drunk too much, and he felt that since they all came here together, it was only natural to have them help him out.

He convinced himself with that, but before he could knock on their door, he heard some noises coming from within the room—

...

Cheng Zheng was confounded.

He put down his hand slowly and leaned against the door.

After that, he sat down as if his energy had depleted and closed his eyes.

He felt sleepy and a little exhausted. It seemed like he couldn’t stand too.

Just sit down for a while, just for a while... He told himself.

...

Xiang Wan had a good night’s sleep that day.

She was in a warm bed, in a warm embrace, and in a warm place—

She had almost forgotten what day it was and what her motive was for coming to Nanmu.

When it was dawn, the urgent ringing of a mobile phone awakened her.

It was Bai Muchuan’s phone.

Soon, he pulled out his arm from behind her neck and took the call. “Hello!”

It was early morning, and the surroundings were silent.

Hence, Xiang Wan could hear the shrill voice of a woman from the other end clearly. That sure was especially shocking after a great, passionate night.

“Detective Bai! Save me! Detective Bai... I beg of you... you must save me! Save me, please!”

Her voice felt sharp as her decibel was higher than usual, making it difficult to identify the owner of the voice.

Therefore, Xiang Wan could not make out who was the caller.

Bai Muchuan, however, could tell.

He paused for a while. “Lima? What happened?”

“Save me... quick, come save me...”

Xiang Wan could identify who it was now.

“Isn’t she at the police station?”

Why did she call him at this time?

Last night, Abdul was being sent to the police station. Lima was also there as well.

What was happening?

Xiang Wan was perplexed.

However, Bai Muchuan was very calm. “Where are you?”

Lima was crying her heart out. “I’m inside the questioning room... Someone wants to kill me... Someone wants to kill me...”

How could that be?

Xiang Wan felt her hairs standing on end and her heart pounding with unease.

Without further ado, she quickly got out of bed.

“Bai Muchuan, you better hurry there!”

Although Bai Muchuan was directly listening to the woman’s shrill screams, he had a peaceful expression compared to Xiang Wan.

“Wait a while!”

Then, he hung up the phone and started to get dressed in his normal speed.

His behavior surprised Xiang Wan. “You’re not worried? Isn’t she in danger?”

Bai Muchuan glanced at her. “She can actually call and say so much to me. Do you think she’s really in danger?”

Xiang Wan was dumbfounded. “...”

That sounds right too!

After all, Lima was quite a pretentious woman.

Nevertheless, both of them still dressed up faster than usual. They didn’t even take a bath and was all ready to go—

However, when they opened the door...

Something awkward happened!

A man who was leaning against their door flopped into their room.

Oh my god, Cheng Zheng? They both thought.
