The sun broke through the mist and rose slowly from the east.

The sounds of people and vehicles started to fill the streets of Nanmu city.

It was daybreak!

The long, romantic night was finally over.

She opened her sleepy eyes lazily in the hotel room bathed in sunlight.

Oh, heavens!

What's with all the mess in this room?

On the bed, the floor, everything was a mess.

Xiang Wan felt like covering her face…

She moved a little and ruffled her hair a little. Then she realized that she was sleeping in the arms of a certain someone.

The man's body was warm and strong; both of them were wrapped in a soft quilt together. There was some sort of reluctance that squashed all her thoughts about getting up to write her story!

It was still early.

She wanted to sleep a little more.

However… what about her story?

She wanted to sleep a little more.

Okay, just a little more.

A bit more…

Just a bit!

Xiang Wan managed to convince herself to do just that. She snuggled herself into the bundle of fluff and leaned on Bai Muchuan's shoulder.

His breathing fell on her ear. She yawned and realized she was already wide awake.

She adjusted herself slowly, so she could observe his face.

He seemed to be sound asleep with his eyes closed. His handsome features were silent and still; they were not as cold and sharp when he was awake. His high nose bridge; his long eyelashes that were thick and beautiful—even Xiang Wan felt jealous of such features.

There was a faint smell in the air.

A different smell.

A strange smell!

Like the smell of hormones!

Yet it also smelt like the residue of something…

Xiang Wan thought of what happened last night and felt speechless at herself.

She seemed to have forgotten what happened last night.

There were many things she could not link up… It was supposed to be a beautiful memory, yet it had transformed into questions in her head.

When did they start?

When did they end?

When did she fall asleep?

She couldn't recall anything!

Bai Muchuan was too vigorous!

Her throat was dry, and she was too tired to keep up…

She remembered that she had fallen asleep. And when she woke up, it was already morning!

“What are you thinking?” Xiang Wan was still deep in her thoughts when she heard a man's voice.

His voice sounded alluring and pleasant as always; he also sounded like he was smiling. There was also a s.e.xy nasal tone in his voice since he had just woken up.

Xiang Wan met his gaze.

His eyes felt too clear and bright.

Suddenly, she dared not look at him in the eye anymore.

“… You're awake?” She said softly.

“Mm.” Bai Muchuan did not say much. He just cuddled her drowsily…

Hence, Xiang Wan could distinctly feel his current condition.

“Mister Beast Chuan!” She laughed as she gave him a new nickname and moved away from him.

Bai Muchuan flicked his hair and smiled. “Did you like it?”

Xiang Wan was too shy and her cheeks felt hot. “Go away! I didn't like it…”

Bai Muchuan pinched her nose. “Say it one more time, huh?”

Uh! He had strong fingers!

Xiang Wan couldn't breathe properly, and her eyes dampened in no time. She hammered him with her fists.

“Do you know that if this is a romance fiction story, a ‘beast' like you… will get beaten to death?”

“Beast!? Who's the one who said I'm handsome and das.h.i.+ng, 1.8 meters tall with a pair of long legs and nine abdominal muscles and that I'm your unparalleled hunk? Now that you've woken up… you call me a beast after using me?”

“…” Xiang Wan stared at him, tongue-tied.

“I've only said a sentence, but you…”

“But it's true, right?”

Bai Muchuan grunted a laugh. He then turned and was now on top of her with a meaningful smile.

“You really don't like it anymore?”

Hurhur! Xiang Wan laughed, choosing to reply indirectly. “Make a guess.”

Bai Muchuan puffed a soft sigh but did not change his expression. “Seems like I did not serve my Queen well! To prove my loyalty, let's do it again…”

“Ah, Bai Muchuan!”

Seeing that she wanted to hide into the quilt, Bai Muchuan would not let her off easily. He was like a big bad wolf who caught a little rabbit as he caught her in his arms, gave her a peck on her face and embraced her. By then, Xiang Wan didn't try to hide anymore.

“I better get up! I need to get up and work!”

Seeing her obedient look, Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes. “What work?”

“This unpopular author have to continue updating her story!” Xiang Wan pouted. “If I still don't update my story, the remaining readers are going to ‘run away from home'!”

Hah! Bai Muchuan laughed cheerfully.

“All right! I'll let you off this time. Do this again and you'll be in big trouble!”

After that, he released Xiang Wan and lolled on the bed by himself. With arms behind his neck, he started smiling away.

That was a captivating sight! Xiang Wan's feet were almost off the bed when she hesitated again.

Suddenly, she crawled back and lied on his chest, facing him. The next moment, she planted a big smooch on his mouth then she smacked her lips.

“Young man, you taste good! After I finish my work, I'll deal with you!”

“…” She learned his way of speaking!

Bai Muchuan laughed again, looking even more radiant and livelier…

“Young lady, you learn fast!”

As he said so, he followed Xiang Wan to the bathroom and looked at her as she brushed her teeth.

“Tell me first, how will you deal with me?”

Xiang Wan had just finished squeezing the toothpaste. She did not want Bai Muchuan to see her face while she was brus.h.i.+ng her teeth. With a reddened face, she waved her hand gesturing Bai Muchuan to get out of the bathroom.

“Get out and rest outside… I need to brush my teeth!”

Bai Muchuan crossed his arms, looking at her with interest as he leaned against the bathroom washstand.

“What's there to be worried about? You're just brus.h.i.+ng your teeth. I've seen you bathe…”

Xiang Wan's jaws dropped after hearing what he had said. “…”

Bai Muchuan smiled at her. “Just go ahead to brush your teeth.”

Xiang Wan pulled a long face. “If you're here, I wouldn't be able to brush my teeth…”

Bai Muchuan snickered but did not move an inch. “…”

Both of them stared at each other.

Ten seconds later, Bai Muchuan gave up.

“What's the problem with you? Fine, fine, I'll wait outside…”

“Okay, okay, Your Excellency! Hurry and rest for a while more!”

Xiang Wan pushed him out like plague. She then looked at herself in the mirror… and was dazed at what she saw.

Who was this woman with tenderness in her gaze, rosy cheeks, and an alluring pair of bright eyes…?

She felt a little unfamiliar.

That did not look like her.

“Heh!”

Pffft! Xiang Wan giggled.

She felt too blissful to be able to get a man like Bai Muchuan.

But at the same time, she felt it was too easy… to lose interest in her work.

After brus.h.i.+ng her teeth and was.h.i.+ng her face, Xiang Wan flicked her laptop open and made a remark. “I can finally understand what it meant by ‘to lose one's lofty aspirations if indulged in pleasures'!”

Bai Muchuan did not understand what she meant and stood behind her; both his hands were on her shoulders where he ma.s.saged her gently. “What do you mean?”

Xiang Wan did not turn around. “I should be working on my update last night. In the end, I indulged in pleasures'… and I haven't done anything!”

“I see!” Bai Muchuan's voice sounded like he was smiling. “What kind of pleasure did you indulge in? Is it nice?”

“…”

“Tell me!” Bai Muchuan used more strength.

“D*rn! I refuse to express this in concrete terms!” Xiang Wan scrunched her nose at him.

“h.e.l.lo, young lady, I could detect profanity in your sentence earlier. This system has automatically blocked it out, please modify your sentence again…”

Pffft! Xiang Wan laughed so heartily that she held her stomach. “Don't play the fool! I wouldn't be able to write my story if you continue talking to me…”

Bai Muchuan caressed her shoulder. He lowered his head and kissed her on the ear.

Then he broke out in laughter. “I'll go wash up! You can go ahead and write.”

“Mm…” Xiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief.

She had thought that this person… might turn into a beast again.

When Xiang Wan was writing her story, Bai Muchuan would not disturb her.

Not only that, after he came out of the bathroom, he even went out to get breakfast for her, as well as several bottles of mineral water. When he came back, he boiled some water and made a cup of instant coffee for Xiang Wan. He also poured a cup of water for her and left it on the table.
