When Xiang Wan checked into the hotel, Bai Muchuan was not with her, so he did not have the room card.

Three long knocks and a short one!

Three short knocks and a long one!

Xiang Wan shuffled over to the door with her slippers happily.

In the end, she almost slipped and fell!

The slippers provided by the hotel was too big for her!

She looked at the slippers; she felt like laughing at herself.

‘Xiang Wan ah, just look at you! You’re too impatient!’

She regained her composure and kept cool!

She tidied her hair to appear as if she had a calm, relaxed image before she opened the door slowly.

“Hi!” She tried to make an alluring look and winked at him. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Bai Muchuan’s gaze was burning, and he did not move.

Eh? Xiang Wan looked at him and sensed something amiss.

“Hey, what happened?”

It was an emotion that lay somewhere between pain and exhaustion, or both. When such emotions appeared on the face of a very good-looking person, it would be very striking.

Xiang Wan felt her heart clasping tightly after seeing that.

She drew closer and took his arm before pulling him in.

After closing the door, she puffed a sigh. “What happened? You look so scary! Did you drop money or fell out of love…?”

Her jokes had no effect on Bai Muchuan.

He did not talk; he just looked at her without blinking…

His gaze felt perplexed and deep!

Xiang Wan could not understand that look, it was incomprehensible.

“Bai Muchuan…”

She called his name but before she could continue talking, he took her waist and pulled her over, hugging her ever so tightly.

His emotions were becoming even more mysterious to her when he hugged her.

Xiang Wan listened to his heartbeat as they embraced each other; she could sense that something was troubling him.

She put her arms around his waist. “Tell me, what happened…”

Bai Muchuan’s breathing was heavy.

For quite a while, the warm breath that fell on her neck carried his muffled voice.

“Xiang Wan, I am so frustrated.”

Xiang Wan replied as she patted his head, “… I can see that.”

Generally, women were the ones who liked to confide to someone about their feelings and emotions. When they felt a little uncomfortable about something, they would wish they could get all of their friends to accompany them…

After that, they would feel much more comfortable with themselves.

Bai Muchuan was like most men, he would not confide in others easily.

Even if he was feeling restless, he would keep it to himself.

So… what kind of troublesome problem could possibly make him this frustrated?

Since she did not hear an answer from Bai Muchuan’s answer, Xiang Wan embraced him tightly this time instead.

“I’m listening… you can tell me…”

She thought he needed a listening ear, someone to hear him out.

However, she was wrong about Bai Muchuan.

He did not say a word at all. They turned as they hugged and her back was now against the door. His hands were now cupped on her face, and he took her lips fervently.

… It was an outburst of emotion.

It was so passionate it made hearts race…

Xiang Wan felt her knees weakening; her body was trembling slightly as she kissed him back…

His tongue was moving like a snake. He kissed her deeply; their tongues felt as if it had both fallen madly in love with each other…

Every nerve, every cell in her body was sending tremors along her nerves.

Xiang Wan felt as if her breath was being taken away!

She was gasping for breath since she could not handle the sudden burst of passion…

“Xiang Wan…”

Bai Muchuan called her name.

His breath was warm; his tone was urgent and excited.

Xiang Wan’s expression seemed to express her consent yet, at the same time, it looked as though she hadn’t. Her world was dizzy and swaying; her body suddenly stiffened for an instant…

Not sure when it happened, but he had already unbuttoned her pajamas…

His cold, big palms were strong and powerful. Xiang Wan clung on his neck weakly…

His skin felt hot; he was perspiring with an urgent sense of passion and enthusiasm…

Xiang Wan’s slippers fell off.

Her feet left the ground as he carried her around his waist…

Once again, he kissed her like crazy…

He was panting, his skin burning like fire… Xiang Wan had never experienced something like this. She felt nervous and excited like a sudden raging thunder had arrived so abruptly and fiercely intense…

She had lost control.

She had totally lost all control.

She leaned back against the door and was panting heavily. She was looking at his handsome, cold face under the light.

“Bai Muchuan… You… Mm? What happened to you?”

“Xiang Wan…” His eyes were half-closed; his dangerous gaze felt like a hot iron as he looked at her. “Don’t ask, don’t ask anything…”

“All right… how ’bout… I prepare some wine… and you can tell me a story?” She worded her words tactfully.

“No… no story.” He gritted his teeth, looking scorchingly savage. “There’s nothing to say at all…”

“… All right…”

A story that had no story.

Unprepared lovemaking…

From the door to the bathroom and then to the bedroom, Xiang Wan did not know how much time had passed. She just felt that after this rigorous exercise, she was like a student who her teacher had ordered her to run for five kilometers during a PE lesson…

Every part of her body felt uncomfortable; she was so bitter that she felt like lashing out at him.

But she didn’t know how…

After he cleaned her up, he bathed in the bathroom.

The sounds of water covered their passion earlier.

Xiang Wan did not know why he had behaved this way…

But suddenly she got reminded of something; they seemed to have forgotten something important earlier.

“Hey, you didn’t use a condom!” Xiang Wan said piteously, glancing at the man who came out of the bathroom and was wiping his wet hair. “You never forgot to do so!”

Bai Muchuan was a qualified boyfriend…

Who had excellent self-control!

He would not forget about this easily.

Back in Nanmu, he had even resisted his desires because there was no condom…

Xiang Wan wanted an explanation, but he only said a sentence.

“I’m sorry!”

Bai Muchuan’s gaze seemed earnest and guilty.

“We’ll get the emergency contraceptive pill later.”

Hmph! How professional!

Xiang Wan pouted in dissatisfaction. Her “grievance” was like blades that flew straight to him from her eyes.

Bai Muchuan went stiff for a moment. He faced up to her gaze. It seemed that he was pondering over the meaning of her unhappy gaze.

A while later, he let out a sigh and walked over to her. “I promise there won’t be a next time!”

Next time, huh?

She already felt her bones were about to break with just this once.

Xiang Wan was really perplexed. “Actually, I’m wondering about something.”

Bai Muchuan: “Mm?”

Xiang Wan pressed her lips tightly together. “All these years, how did you manage without me?”

Just from observing these few times that they’d done it, it was apparent to Xiang Wan that he was a very strong and masculine man. To her, it was impossible that he would not have such desires throughout all these years. Otherwise, he wouldn’t behave so much like a beast… If that was really the case, how did he spend these years without her?

How did he handle such desires?

Xiang Wan’s eyes were glistening as she looked at him with curiosity.

Bai Muchuan did not answer her right away but took out a packet of cigarettes from his clothes on a shelf.

Then he glanced at Xiang Wan; it seemed that he didn’t want to let Xiang Wan take in his second-hand smoke. Thus, he placed his cigarette back slowly while rubbing his nose.

“But these two issues are not related.”

Xiang Wan raised her chin; her eyes formed a squint as she observed him. “They are related. This is a logical question!”

“No!” Bai Muchuan had a faint smirk on his face. “This is a question that concerns my life or death!”
