Murder the Dream Guy

There was a momentary silence at both ends of the phone.

Fang Yuanyuan was a little agitated after what she had said.

“Captain Bai,” she said, “no matter what, I must marry him.”

“Marriage is between the two of you!” Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh. “You can’t hide it from your parents forever; you should have a good talk with them! What do you say?”

His tone sounded like an elder brother.

Both Fang Yuanyuan and Xiang Wan did not have an elder brother.

Upon hearing this, she was as though stimulated. “It’s not that I don’t want to talk to them, but they will definitely not hear me out and will certainly not understand me! Captain Bai, I don’t know if you can understand, but I’m really serious about being with Huang He. Especially after this incident… If I can’t marry him, I won’t be able to die in peace.”

Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. “…”

Even words like “won’t be able to die in peace” were used.

Seems like the incident this time had affected Fang Yuanyuan a lot.

Both Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan looked at each other and shook their heads over what Yuanyuan said.

The four of them, two couples, separated by a phone call, had their own thoughts about this matter.

“Be rest assured!” Bai Muchuan chuckled. “As long as Huang He agrees to it, we won’t have any objections.

Fang Yuanyuan shouted a reply. “See if he dares to!”

“Aye!” Huang He puffed a sigh.

“If he doesn’t agree to it, I will go to the authorities and sue him for having loose morals and being a womanizer; that sort of behavior is totally not suitable to become a law enforcer…”

Her threat was certainly jaw-dropping.

So much so that Bai Muchuan and Huang He did not speak for a while.

“Yuanyuan,” Xiang Wan smiled with a sigh. “Yuanyuan, can you listen to me first?”

“I can’t hear anything!”

“…”

Xiang Wan thought that she must have a heart of steel for she did not die of anger after what she had heard.

She controlled her temper and spoke calmly in a softer tone. “You know about Huang He’s situation. You also know how youngest aunt is. If youngest aunt really brought your mom over to Xi City, things might really get ugly. Furthermore, aren’t you afraid that this might affect Huang He’s career?”

Fang Yuanyuan kept quiet!

Maybe she needed not to worry about the rest.

However, youngest aunt was not easy to handle.

If she was infuriated, things would most likely not end well!

As for Huang He…

For the past few days, she noticed that Huang He had been keeping in touch with Tian Danyue behind her back…

This was too obvious.

The moment he could get out of the hospital, he would be continuing his undercover work.

Fang Yuanyuan took a breath, her tone softened.There seemed to be a faint sobbing noise when Xiang Wan heard her speak.

“What do you think I should do? They wanted me to go back to Jin City, but I don’t want to go back… Sis, I’m really scared…”

She was worried that if she went back, it would be impossible for her to see Huang He.

To the extent that they might not see each other ever again.

Xiang Wan could hear the faint sobbing sounds more clearly through the phone now.

There was also Huang He’s consolation that proved to be of no help.

Xiang Wan listened quietly.

They were separated for a hundred miles, yet she felt as if she could see Fang Yuanyuan’s tears.

She thought about it and offered a suggestion, “Firstly, you have to appease your mom and youngest aunt. Wait for Huang He’s injuries to heal before you decide to get married! During this period of time, you two should think it over carefully. After all, marriage is not a trivial matter. What do you say?”

“What if I still want to get married?”

“As long as Huang He agrees to it, we won’t have any objections.”

Xiang Wan borrowed what Bai Muchuan had said earlier.

Pffft! Fang Yuanyuan snickered when she heard that. “Alright, I’ll listen to you, but how should I handle my mom and youngest aunt? My mom almost wanted to disown me…”

Xiang Wan replied right away, “Just listen to what they have to say!”

Fang Yuanyuan was unimpressed. “How do I do that?”

“Turn on your phone!” Xiang Wan told her. “If they called you, no matter what they say, even if they scold you, just listen. Okay?”

“I understand…”

“That’s it for now! I’ll take care of everything else.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuan calmly.

“I’m afraid I will need to borrow your ‘name’ on this!”

Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow, he did not know what she meant by that.

However, he knew that she had a lot of tricks up her sleeves. He was also keen to know what tactic she would use to appease her aunts…

Xiang Wan cleared her throat.

Then, she dialed her mom’s phone number.

“Mom, I’ve talked to her!”

“Okay, tell me about it!” Her mom sounded very anxious.

From the background sounds coming from the other end, her mom was not alone.

Xiang Wan guessed that they must have gathered to discuss a plan to handle Yuanyuan’s matter.

“Mom,” she smiled. “Things are not as serious as you think. Yuanyuan has met a very good boyfriend. The two of them fell in love at first sight, and they like each other very much. They wanted to get married if their relationship works out… Maybe all of you had said some things that upset her, so she said she wanted to get married in a fit of pique.”

Her sentence about them saying ‘not-so-nice’ remarks was actually a guess.

Well, it was not particularly just a ‘guess’.

Rather, it was a kind of a logical deduction.

This was because their family and relatives were always like that.

No matter what kind of man they knew, they would have all kinds of things to say.

True enough, her mom did not deny that.

“Who’s that guy?”

She immediately focused on the key issue.

Xiang Wan felt that her mom had a sharp mind!

She had a blissful tone in her voice. “It’s such a coincidence. It’s Bai Muchuan’s colleague!”

“Ah? Little Bai’s colleague? In the Capital?”

“Mm!” Xiang Wan replied vaguely, “They’re buddies! That guy’s not bad looking and has a great personality. He’s absolutely worthy of Yuanyuan. I’ve asked Little Bai to find out about his character and I trust him.”

Ever since her youngest aunt met Bai Muchuan, she knew that they were very happy with him.

Moreover, they also knew that he was transferred back to the Capital and that he was the head of a specially formed division that had a high-classified level of confidentiality. They had never heard of that before and that could actually deter them from trying to snoop for more information on Huang He!

Therefore, if Fang Yuanyuan’s boyfriend was actually Bai Muchuan’s new colleague…

They were thinking that if that was the case, he should be quite a good choice as well…

Xiang Wan was very smart.

She did not directly tell them about Huang He, but used Bai Muchuan as the “shield” to let them do their own thinking. By doing so, she need not bear any responsibility for “misleading” them, and it would be impossible for them to hold her accountable for it…

After all, what she said was the truth.

“How old is that guy?”

“Where is he from?”

“Who’s in his family?”

“Any picture?”

“…”

Every one of them asked a different question over the phone.

Xiang Wan puffed a sigh.

“Mom, youngest aunt, eldest aunt, eldest uncle-in-law, how will I know all this?” Xiang Wan greeted all of them who talked earlier. “Don’t worry so much. Yuanyuan’s not an idiot, she knew how to protect herself. Besides, with that temper of hers, I’m only worried that the guy will be the one who’s disadvantaged… not her!”

“How can you say that about your cousin?”

“Hur! Earlier on, who’s the one that couldn’t stop scolding her? Now you’re speaking up for her again!”

“Stop arguing with each other! Quick, tell me what you know about that guy!”

“… Mom, I should be able to meet Yuanyuan two days from now. Once I’ve met her boyfriend, I’ll inform you again, alright?” Xiang Wan smiled as she spoke. “This is called to see is to believe!”

There were faint sounds of discussion at the other end of the phone.

“Your youngest aunt and eldest aunt still want to come personally for a look…”

“Gosh! This is the new era already. It’s just two young people who fell in love with each other; why are the mom and aunt getting involved in their relationship? Your behavior might scare the prospective noble son-in-law away. When that time comes, all of you will regret it…”

It seemed that Xiang Wan understood her aunts very well.

The moment they heard the term ‘noble son-in-law’, they were very satisfied.

If a couple who just gotten to know each other but the girl’s family members suddenly appeared and demanded an explanation from the guy, that was really strange and not nice.

Youngest aunt had learned a lesson with regards to Bai Muchuan.

After some hesitation, they agreed to her suggestion.

“Fine! When you meet him, you need to report back to us immediately!”

“Roger!”

Xiang Wan hung up the phone. After that, she told Fang Yuanyuan the entire content of the phone conversation and specifically told her not to mess up. Then she heaved a long sigh and fell into Bai Muchuan’s arms with all of her weight.

“This is so tiring!”

Bai Muchuan stroked her head. “That’s quite a feat, young lady!”

Xiang Wan looked up, blinking and smiling at him. “I’m really good at this, right?”

Bai Muchuan knocked on her forehead.

“You’re strutting in borrowed plumes! Naughty!”

Xiang Wan was holding his arm as she ‘suffered’ the knock. In less than 10 seconds, she got up suddenly, so she could hold his other arm. She then pulled the quilt and leaned against him.

Bai Muchuan could not help but let out a snicker.

“Teacher Xiang, can you tell me what you are doing by arching around like a mouse?”

“I don’t want to hurt your injured arm, okay?” Xiang Wan stared at him unhappily. “Sir Little Bai, don’t be ungrateful. You can see for yourself how considerate I am towards you!”

Bai Muchuan peered at her without much emotion.

“There are also other ways to show your consideration of me.”

Xiang Wan pouted, she did not grasp what he was trying to say.

“Although my arm is hurt, my body is fine!”

As Bai Muchuan said so, his gaze was gleaming bright.

His lowered eyelids and long eyelashes cast two rows of shadow, quiet and mysterious. Slowly, she saw two clusters of fire lit up in his dark-colored eyes…

In the room, the temperature seemed to have risen.

Bai Muchuan’s gaze moved slowly across her face. He then suddenly pulled Xiang Wan up.

Xiang Wan’s coat and sweater were removed earlier prior to the phone calls. When he pulled her up, her thin layer of clothing slid down from her shoulder, revealing some fair, delicate skin…

Her long neck and beautiful collarbone had a layer of faint hickeys that extended gradually… into the curves which were concealed under the clothing.

The partially visible marks… had an impact on Bai Muchuan.

His husky voice sounded especially charming. “Do it?”

“No…” Xiang Wan laid down on the bed. “I’m tired!”

Bai Muchuan suddenly turned himself to lie on top of her.

He embraced her and kissed her passionately.

He seemed to enjoy this game they were playing…

It was hot and vigorous as usual; his gaze sank into her eyes, as well as his heart and body…
