Xiang Wan followed Ding Yifan.

His figure was tall, and he was also a little thin, which made Xiang Wan felt as though she had seen Tu Liang instead.

In the past, Tu Liang was the one who handled such matters.

Xiang Wan looked up at the ceiling for a while to contain her grief.

Ding Yifan was not someone who talked a lot. He was a quiet person.

Xiang Wan’s office occupied the far left back corner of the second floor.

There was a huge floor to ceiling window overlooking the backyard of Serious Crime Division One. The backyard outside was a beautiful, well-tended garden rearing a wide variety of plants. The office seemed small but clean and tidy.

The most important thing was, it was quiet.

Xiang Wan placed her laptop bag on the table and smiled at Ding Yifan.

“Thank you!”

Ding Yifan also smiled politely back.

“Teacher Xiang, don’t thank me. This is Captain Bai’s arrangement.”

Xiang Wan still smiled back as a response.

In actual fact, they prepared the office for Zhan Se. She knew that very well.

She smiled and nodded when she looked at the pleasing large, green potted plant in the corner.

There was nothing much to say.

What she had to do was work hard and carve a name for herself.

“Teacher Xiang, if you need anything, just let me know.”

Ding Yifan was very polite.

Moreover, they had fully furnished the office. Xiang Wan knew that she couldn’t be rude when people were polite to her.

“No worries Detective Ding, everything seems good to me.”

Ding Yifan replied, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going now.”

“Sure,” said Xiang Wan, “please go ahead.”

Ding Yifan bowed when he replied, “Alright.”

When he left, he even helped to close the door.

There was only Xiang Wan in this peaceful and quiet office.

She realized that this was a good environment for her to write her story.

No one would disturb her, and it was a good place for her to think about her plots, as well as cases.

She took out her stuff, placed them out of her bag nicely, and poured a cup of water for herself. When she took a sip, she felt the goodness of life. After that, she turned on her computer and sent Zhan Se a message.

“Boss, your personal a.s.sistant has arrived at the battlefield. Please give me your instructions.”

Zhan Se’s reply came in fast.

She started off with a ‘laugh out loud’ emoji.

“You’re teasing me, right? I don’t have any instructions. Wait for Little Bai to tell you what to do. If you encounter any problems with your work, you can discuss it with me anytime… Also, I’ve sent some cases and materials to your mailbox. You should learn more about it.”

“Mm, alright. Thank you, Senior.”

“I can’t talk to you now. D*rn, my boss is a tiger.”

“…” She didn’t know how to respond.

Zhan Se had told her that her boss was equivalent to a tiger.

Xiang Wan was typing some words in preparation to console Zhan Se.

However, before she could send it out, she received another message from her.

“Forget it, I’ll tolerate for now. Later when I get home, I’m the big boss, and it’s all up to me on how to teach him a lesson!”

“…”

The boss she had mentioned was actually her husband then.

Xiang Wan let out a laugh. “Then hurry and serve your boss. When you fulfilled his appet.i.te, he will be well again.”

Zhan Se replied, “Oh my, you’ve become bold. I need to go now! Talk again!”

She looked at the screen for three seconds, then she opened her mailbox to download the doc.u.ments.

She wanted to do well in her work.

Regardless if it was Zhan Se and Bai Muchuan, or to her dream and hobby, she didn’t want to let herself down.

…

The cases and the learning materials Zhan Se had prepared for her were intriguing, educational and worth a good read, as well as safekeeping.

Xiang Wan had also kept some of it in the past.

She downloaded these materials into a folder and arranged them into subcategories, respectively.

After that, she read them and did some notes; she even wrote her own thoughts about it.

It was a fruitful morning and time went by fast.

When she heard the knocking on the door, she looked away from her laptop screen.

“Please come in!”

Xiang Wan rose from her seat.

She didn’t know who was the person, but she dared not act like a big boss by sitting there like one.

The door opened.

A smiling, handsome face appeared before her.

“It’s time for lunch. Are you still busy, Teacher Xiang?”

Xiang Wan’s cheeks felt slightly warm. It was Bai Muchuan and only him alone. She sat down again.

“I need more time. You can go on ahead.”

He crossed his arms and leaned against the door casually.

“No hurry, I can wait for you…”

Eh! Xiang Wan looked up. “But… is that really okay?”

“What’s not okay about it?”

Was it appropriate to appear before everyone as a couple?

She had concerns, but Bai Muchuan thought nothing of it.

“Everyone knows that you’re my girlfriend. Wouldn’t it pretentious to behave like we’re not close?”

Xiang Wan raised an eyebrow. “You’re not worried about what others would say?”

Bai Muchuan grunted a laugh. “Do you think they would shut their mouths even if we worry about them?”

“…”

“Hurry! Don’t worry about such trifles; we are meant for greater things.”

“…”

This person always had his reasons.

Xiang Wan quickly did a backup of what she had written earlier. After that, she closed her laptop and left the office.

“Regarding this case, I have some new thoughts.”

“Tell me about it.” Bai Muchuan looked at her with appreciation.

Xiang Wan liked it the best when he looked at her like that.

The feeling that both of them were fighting alongside each other, along with her man’s appreciation.

“I wrote a lot, and I made it into a report. I’ll need to clean up first before I send it to you.”

That was in accordance with their work process.

“Alright then.” Bai Muchuan nodded, and his gaze had some concern in it. “Don’t work too hard and give yourself too much pressure.”

“I want you to be proud of me!”

Xiang Wan blinked at him; her expression was full of confidence.

After that, she added, “Furthermore, the possibility of that happening is very high.”

Bai Muchuan showed a radiant smile.

“Teacher Xiang, do you seem to have become thick-skinned?”

“Do I?”

“Just touch your face and you’ll know.”

Xiang Wan looked at him and really touched her own face.

“No, it’s still the same, soft and smooth.”

Bai Muchuan’s gaze at her seemed slightly burning.

Her habit of blus.h.i.+ng easily was always there.

She was not thick-skinned; she was the opposite. When he looked at her for a few more times, her face would reveal a warm pinkish hue.

True enough, Xiang Wan started to feel awkward and her ears reddened slightly. “Why do you keep staring at me? There are people watching us.”

Bai Muchuan pinched her face gently. “I just want to try out myself if your skin is thick or not?”

The feeling he got was smooth and soft as though it would melt in his palm.

Bai Muchuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he spoke in a low tone.

“You’re right. It’s soft and smooth.”

“…”

This guy was teasing her again.

Xiang Wan felt embarra.s.sed and walked with her head down.

Bai Muchuan shook his head while wearing a smile.

“This is lunchtime. You don’t need to be too serious.”

“…”

Xiang Wan frowned at his words.

…

The canteen seemed to be a little more crowded that day.

When everyone saw Xiang Wan walking together with Bai Muchuan, they greeted her politely.

Quan Shaoteng, Tang Yuanchu, and Salimu, these few people whom she was very familiar with, started to tease her and Bai Muchuan.

“Welcome, welcome! Our actual leader of the division has finally arrived.”

“Little Bai, now that your boss is here, you won’t be able to throw your weight anymore!”

“Teacher Xiang, it’s so nice to have you here. In future, we’ll have someone to s.h.i.+eld us from the strong winds and thunderstorms.”

Xiang Wan was worried that others might hear such words since this could easily be misinterpreted.

The one who said it meant it as a joke, but others who heard it might have other thoughts about it.

It was fine to crack jokes since these few men were familiar with her. However, what about those who weren’t?

She smiled at them and gave a smart reply.

“Hurhur, you bunch of good-looking men are indeed crafty people. I just reported for work, and all of you are trying to make use of me as your s.h.i.+eld already?”

Everyone cackled at her remark.

They got what she was trying to say.

“It’s just a joke.”

“Of course I don’t dare to do that! Captain Bai would kill me.”
