The relation between Xiang Wan and Xie Wanwan was somewhat complicated.

There was a period of time where Xie Wanwan carried the name of “Bai Muchuan’s girlfriend”. Even if Xiang Wan knew it was just fake, she would still feel awkward about it.

Therefore, Xiang Wan did not really like to come in contact with Xie Wanwan too much.

She was someone whom she couldn’t hate but wouldn’t be able to like much either.

Besides, no matter what the reason was, this gorgeously beautiful woman was friends with Bai Muchuan and had such a painful life experience. Xiang Wan felt that it was rather stressful to deal with a woman like that…

It was somewhat sour as well as heavy.

Xiang Wan preferred to get along with others casually and comfortably.

Xie Wanwan’s presence had never been able to give her that relaxing feeling.

Hence, Xiang Wan turned her request down.

She said that she had to rush to write her story and was rather busy lately.

Xie Wanwan just smiled in understanding and did not try to convince her further.

After that, they parted ways and Xiang Wan felt relieved.

However, the next day, she realized that she was too naive.

Before the sky was fully bright, Xie Wanwan pressed on the doorbell of Bai Muchuan’s house with her shades and mask on, as well as a big luggage suitcase.

At that time, Bai Muchuan hadn’t even woken up yet.

He had sent Xiang Wan home after the dinner and went back to work. He only reached home at two o’clock in the morning.

Xiang Wan wanted him to sleep more so she didn’t wake him up.

In order to let him have a hearty breakfast when he woke up later, she got up early and started to prepare breakfast.

Hence, when Xiang Wan saw Xie Wanwan through the peephole, she had a feeling that she would look like an amiable middle-aged woman alongside the stunning celebrity as she had a ponytail and was wearing a patterned apron…

Oh my god!

Would it be good to meet her “love rival” in this attire?

But if Xiang Wan changed her clothes just to meet Xie Wanwan, wouldn’t that mean she was rather bothered by her presence?

Attaching too much importance to the opponent was actually a manifestation of not having enough self-confidence.

Xiang Wan didn’t want to change her clothes.

She didn’t want to become someone like that either…

Thus, while she was procrastinating, the doorbell rang for the second time.

Xiang Wan was worried that the doorbell sounds might wake Bai Muchuan up and decided to just open the door.

“Miss Xie, what’s up?”

Xiang Wan’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed; her voice sounded grim and there wasn’t much emotion on her face. However, her unhappiness was clear to see.

Xie Wanwan smiled. She removed her shades and glanced toward her suitcase.

“I’ve come to seek refuge.”

Seek refuge?

She wanted Xiang Wan to let her stay in the house?

Were they familiar with each other in the first place?

Why didn’t she go directly to Bai Muchuan instead?

Xiang Wan had a headache.

“Umm… I still don’t really get it.”

Xie Wanwan replied, “I’m at my wit’s end recently.”

Xiang Wan pursed her lips slightly and waited for her explanation.

Xie Wanwan held her suitcase as she stood outside the door, looking at Xiang Wan who was wearing a homely attire and raised her eyebrows.

“I have nowhere else to go. Are you able to take me in for a few days?”

“…”

Xiang Wan was having a hard time trying not to frown. “So Miss Xie, you’re saying that you want to move in here?”

Xie Wanwan: “Can I?”

“Umm…”

She was in a pickle.

If she rejected her outright, it would be really difficult.

Xiang Wan smiled and tried to make her tone sound mild and tactful.

“Miss Xie, you do know that… Currently, only I and Bai Muchuan are living here…”

That meant it was not convenient for her to live there.

Xie Wanwan nodded her head in understanding.

“I know that this is not appropriate. But I really have no other way out.”

As she said this, she looked away and her expression seemed more serious than earlier. “I don’t want to keep this from you. Whatever is happening recently, it’s too abnormal,” her proud demeanor dissolved, showing her helplessness and distress. “The movie ‘Before Doomsday’ was banned from showing at the cinemas because of the ‘zombie’ case. Then it somehow got linked to me and came back to haunt me again…”

Xiang Wan raised her eyebrow. “You feel that you’re being picked on deliberately by someone?”

“It’s obvious!” Xie Wanwan looked at Xiang Wan. “I feel that this is not a simple matter. Someone is out to get me…”

“Who is that?” Xiang Wan questioned her.

Xie Wanwan was silent for a moment then chuckled and shook her head. “If I knew who that person is, I would hold that person’s leg and beg him or her to spare my life!”

Xiang Wan: “…”

Xie Wanwan ran her fingers through her hair and let out another chuckle. “Maybe it’s someone who couldn’t stand seeing me living a good life and wanted to bring me down. Or maybe some capitalist or business tycoon is behind all these as I’m not only representing myself now…”

She was also representing Meng Entertainment Group now that she was the largest shareholder of that conglomerate.

As a celebrity, and now the largest shareholder in Meng Entertainment Group, she was still basically dealing with matters related to her industry. However, she had to deal with things on a whole different level and could be very complicated…

Xiang Wan nodded her head as she agreed with what she said.

But she was still in a quandary about Xie Wanwan living with them for a few days.

“Little Bai is still asleep. I need to talk to him about this matter… Besides, it’s not so convenient for a woman to stay with us…”

“Okay!” Xie Wanwan snapped her fingers with a grin. “As long as you agree, it should be fine with Little Bai. Who doesn’t know that he obeys his wife? Unless you’re unwilling…”

“…”

“Of course, it’s not only me that will be staying here.” Xie Wanwan smiled mysteriously and turned to look at the direction of the elevator. “Come here!”

Her two female assistants pulled along some suitcases as they walked over.

There were a couple of large suitcases that contained Xie Wanwan’s skincare products, cosmetics, clothes, handbags and accessories et cetera…

They were arranged neatly outside the house.

The two assistants stood quietly aside.

Xiang Wan was dumbfounded at that sight.

Xie Wanwan gave a smile. “Little Bai’s house is big enough for us to stay here.”

“…”

She put it as if she was very familiar with this place.

For a moment, Xiang Wan didn’t know what else she could say.

Xie Wanwan passed her bag to an assistant. Then she placed her hands on her abdomen and made a deep, 90-degree bow at Xiang Wan.

“Teacher Xiang, please help me!”

Xiang Wan was now powerless against the situation.

It was not nice to keep them outside for too long.

“Come inside and talk…”

Just before they entered the house, Xie Wanwan exchanged glances with her two assistants and the two of them started to get something from the suitcases.

After that, Xiang Wan received a bunch of presents from Xie Wanwan.

There were clothes, handbags and skincare products—all of them were products of the top brands…

But when Xiang Wan refused them, Xie Wanwan insisted that she keep them…

It was then when Xiang Wan realized that her understanding of Xie Wanwan was flawed.

The latter was actually someone who knew the ways of the world…

She was cold and arrogant in the past as there was no need for her to bow down to anyone unnecessarily.

She was adept at detecting the emotions of others and would attempt to create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere which makes it difficult for others to reject her…

As the saying goes, one would not slap a smiling person.

After exchanging some polite greetings, Xiang Wan had no choice but to invite them in and poured a glass of water for each of them.

“Please take a seat.”

“No problem. Don’t worry about us, you can continue to do what you want to do.”

Xie Wanwan’s reminder was useful as Xiang Wan nearly forgot that she was in the midst of cooking earlier.

And so, she hurriedly made her way to the kitchen.

Xie Wanwan sat on the sofa. Her two assistants were well-behaved and sat beside her as well…

When Bai Muchuan woke up, he saw the three of them inside his house.

And was perplexed.

He looked at Xiang Wan then looked towards Xie Wanwan.

“Who can tell me what exactly is happening?”

He was dressed in his home clothes and was not as stern as he usually looked. Nonetheless, his personality was still someone who was difficult to get close to. Even if he was standing in his living room, it didn’t look any easier to talk to him, not to mention he was wearing a frown on his face now.

Xiang Wan felt a squeeze in her heart and pointed at Xie Wanwan…

She wanted to tell him but found herself unable to do so.

Xie Wanwan was totally unbothered. She repeated the explanation to him before pointing at Xiang Wan.

“I’ve already sought her approval. Little Bai, don’t be a hindrance, alright?”
