年轻的母亲5全集国语

It was especially quiet that morning at the Criminal Investigation Unit.

When Xiang Wan went inside the office with her laptop bag, she thought there wasn’t anyone in office.

But the moment she stepped inside, she was taken aback at the sight before her.

Not only were there people inside, but the number was also not small, either.

Some of them were sleeping on their desk, while some were sleeping on their chair. Some of them were snoring softly, while some were quiet in their sleep. The most amazing one was Tang Yuanchu who slept on his chair with a pen in-between his nose and mouth.

He could actually sleep like that? That was totally unbelievable.

She knew that the detectives would definitely work overnight. They must have been really worn out. Xiang Wan walked lightly and slowly across the main hall to Bai Muchuan’s office.

The door was closed.

She had thought that Bai Muchuan must have been like the guys outside, sleeping inside his office with the door closed. She didn’t want to disturb him, so she opened the door softly that her movements made her seem like a thief...

And, she was embarrassed.

Bai Muchuan was sitting before his desk. His laptop was open, and he seemed to be very energetic.

Hearing the slight door opening sound, he looked up and saw Xiang Wan. He titled his head as he was puzzled to see her tip-toeing and did not say a word.

The two of them met each other’s gaze in midair. Xiang Wan was so surprised she was dazed for a moment, then she went out and closed the door.

Knock! Knock! She knocked lightly on the door. “Is Captain Bai in there?”

Bai Muchuan: “...”

“Come in!” he said.

When Xiang Wan entered his office, he quickly stopped smiling and looked at her seriously. “If we’re not in the office right now, I’m going to beat you up.”

“Young man, it’s not right to be so violent!” Xiang Wan put her arms on her back as she walked slowly to his desk as though the earlier episode of sneaking into his office did not happen at all. Next, she sat down on the chair opposite him and placed his breakfast on the table. “Come, eat this. This is a reward from this lady.”

“Thank you milady!” Bai Muchuan said politely.

“No need for thanks.” Xiang Wan blinked her eyes. “I didn’t buy them anyway, but I’m taking the credit for it!”

Bai Muchuan instantly understood what she had meant. “Oh, then all the more I need to say my thanks,” he showed a half-smile. “Coz we’re eating the food for free!”

Pffft! Xiang Wan could not resist laughing about it. After that, she frowned slightly she sat on the chair lazily. “Enough, don’t keep bullying Captain Cheng. He’s just not someone who talks a lot, but he’s not a bad person...”

“Young lady, don’t side with outsiders.” Bai Muchuan gave her a cold glance and did not seem interested to continue the topic. “Water!” He grunted a laugh.

He really knows how to command others to do work!

Xiang Wan pursed her lips unhappily and gave a snort. “There’s also the soybean milk.”

Bai Muchuan’s brows moved arrogantly at her. “I’m not used to drinking soybean milk that does not taste like soybean milk!”

“...”

Back when Xiang Wan was staying at Bai Muchuan’s house, Nanny Li was the one who attended to his needs. She remembered that Bai Muchuan’s breakfast was indeed quite exquisite. Every dish not only tasted good but also looked good as well, with style. For soybean milk, Nanny Li would have chosen the best quality soybeans as well as did some other preparations to improve the taste. His life was as though the life of the Emperor or noble in ancient times.

“Yes, yes, yes, please wait a while, my lord!”

Xiang Wan got up to get him some water. As she bantered with him, her mood was good, and when she walked, it seemed as though she was in high spirits. Her hips wiggled as she walked, her mouth a little pouted, her face was of a pink shade, and her skin fair and delicate... Bai Muchuan suddenly slowed down his eating speed.

He did not move and watched her, his bright eyes were as though a pair of wolf eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that? That gaze of yours felt weird.”

Xiang Wan put down the cup of water before him and tilted her head to look at him.

“Oh—I felt a little choked.” Bai Muchuan stopped looking at her and took a sip of water. Then he heaved a sigh, as though relieved from something. “I’m more comfortable now.”

“!” Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. “Are you trying to say that you don’t feel comfortable eating the breakfast I’ve brought for you?”

“Of course not, milady!” Bai Muchuan imitated her earlier tone to seek forgiveness. After he finished the cup of water, he stretched himself and suddenly asked. “What’s the time now?”

Xiang Wan took a look at the time. “It’s 8:50 a.m. now!”

“Hm.” Bai Muchuan thought for a moment. “I’ll sleep for 30 minutes. You help to wake me up.”

Xiang Wan looked at him, puzzled. “Where will you be sleeping?”

Bai Muchuan: “Besides my office, where else should I go?” Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face. “You want to accompany me?”

“... Bleh! Shameless.” Xiang Wan took a look at the spacious but simple office and gave a frown. “You sleep on the sofa, don’t sleep on your chair, you might sprain your neck.”

With that, she thought of Tang Yuanchu’s sleeping posture she saw earlier and could not help letting out a chuckle.

“A group of goblins is sleeping outside with all kinds of weird postures. If you’ve seen them, you might be laughing in your sleep.”

Bai Muchuan was not curious at what she said at all. It could be that he was already used to seeing their weird sleeping postures. He only yawned and grunted a laugh. “So what if it’s a group of goblins, even if there’s a group of beautiful and gorgeous dryads, I would still be able to sleep...”

After a short pause, he looked at Xiang Wan with a sly smile. “If it’s my fairy Xiang who comes to seduce me, that’s a different story...”

This guy!

This is flirting in broad daylight.

Xiang Wan rolled her eyes and then walked over to remove the documents on the sofa. Finally, she gave a few pats on the sofa to make it cleaner.

“You better go to sleep now. You only have 25 minutes left now.”

This was the first time that Bai Muchuan did not joke with her.

He stretched himself, sat on the sofa, then laid down on it. He took her hand and closed his eyes.

Bai Muchuan looked like a big kid when he was lying on the sofa quietly. His nicely sculpted nose, exquisite eyebrows, and seemingly soft lips... This sleeping posture of his seemed suitable for a kiss.

“...” Xiang Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

Somewhere in her heart, it felt so soft because of his sleeping face.

Her palm felt ticklish.

She suddenly felt like touching his lips, his nose, and his long eyelashes...

But she resisted the urge and did not move.

The group of detectives sleeping outside was dog-tired. It was no exception to him as well.

Looking at his sleeping face, it was hard to imagine how strong his perseverance was. She even wondered what kind of belief or spirit was supporting him that he could break through the limit of human needs by working on cases indefinitely without getting much rest...

Was it his past experiences with the Red Thorn Commando Squad?

Or did he have a very different environment when growing up?

She sat on the edge of the sofa and watched him for a long time.

Bai Muchuan behaved himself as well although he always teased her. He only held her hand and did nothing else.

After a while when Xiang Wan noticed that he had finally fallen asleep, she slowly removed her hand and placed his hand on his chest. Then, she cleared his table quietly and closed the door.

The office gradually started to get crowded as time went by.

It was almost the official time for work. The sleeping detectives began to wake up one by one, stretching themselves and went to wash up. After that, they went to eat breakfast.

On the corridor, Xiang Wan met Tang Yuanchu who was still yawning away and she smiled at him.

“Teacher Xiang—” Tang Yuanchu would not know that Xiang Wan was actually laughing at him, right?

He saw Xiang Wan and asked her a question in a low tone. “Last night, you’d said something. Is it true?”

Xiang Wan asked a question back, “What did I say?”

“That matter.” Tang Yuanchu grinned and swept a glance toward Bai Muchuan’s office. “You and Captain Bai... Didn’t you say Captain Bai’s your man?”

“...”

She and Bai Muchuan...

Well, it was true that besides Cheng Zheng, nobody in the office knew about her relationship with Bai Muchuan.

In an organization, people tend to associate personal feelings with work even when a pair of lovers, although working in the same department, were impartial in their work. She did not want Bai Muchuan to get into any trouble for this. Moreover, she felt that there was no need for everyone to know about this.

“What are you talking about? Of course, it’s not true. Back then, all of us are looking for Captain Bai and we can’t expose our real identity. I said that as I’ve run out of options, okay?”

“I see!” Tang Yuanchu nodded his head as though he was enlightened.

“I understand, this is a secret affair, right?” He smiled meaningfully as he whispered, “I’ll keep it a secret.”

He smiled and left, leaving Xiang Wan standing frozen on the spot. “...”

The incident last night was unexpected. She thought that she had handled it properly. However, besides Tang Yuanchu, there was also another He Wencai who heard that. If this matter was to spread, that she had said Captain Bai was her man, how would the others look at this matter?

Xiang Wan’s heart could not help but feel a little uneasy.

When she returned to the office, she looked around her as she was worried that others would look at her strangely...

However, it was she herself that had overthought it.

Nobody talked about this at all. Both Tang Yuanchu and He Wencai were not loudmouths, either. Nobody dared to spread gossip about Bai Muchuan’s personal affairs... What everyone was concerned with was the case. Even Little Liu, who loved gossip the most, only asked her how did Jia An died last night and so on.

Huff!

Her tense heart finally calmed down.

As long as it was as usual...
