Chapter 470: The Marriage Photo

Bai Muchuan hesitated for a moment. “For now, I couldn’t give you an answer.”
He was not someone who would say something without definite evidence.
“Are you hungry?” Bai Muchuan changed the topic.
“Hmm, a little,” replied Xiang Wan honestly while pouting as she looked at him deeply in the eye.
“Alright.” Bai Muchuan patted her head. “Rest here, and I’ll make some food.”
Fang Yuanyuan went out for shopping with Qing Dai and the female authors she met that day. Xiang Wan turned Yuanyuan down this time since she didn’t like to go shopping with unfamiliar people. Nonetheless, she was supportive of her doing that since shopping and socializing could turn her attention away from thinking about Huang He.
While Bai Muchuan was busy making a meal for Xiang Wan, she turned on her laptop.
She wanted to write her plot outline.
Quite some time pa.s.sed, and since she didn’t hear any sounds coming from the kitchen, she decided to go check out Bai Muchuan and went to the kitchen.
The pot was simmering and the aroma of food was in the air.
Bai Muchuan was on the phone while his back was facing the entrance.
“Alright, sure.
“Mm.”
He ended the call.
Xiang Wan walked over quietly and looked at the pot.
“Wow, smells so good…”
She looked at him. “Are you going out for work?”
Bai Muchuan turned to see her delicate smiling face.
“Nope, it’s the son of the retired detective. He called up to thank me for helping them!”
“I see.” Xiang Wan actually felt relieved.
Every time she saw Bai Muchuan taking a call seriously, she would feel a little nervous subconsciously.
She was worried that a case might appear and…
… worried that there would be something major.
But…
As a detective, everyday when they woke up, they would face all these.
Xiang Wan walked to him and put her arms around his waist with her face leaning against his back but said nothing.
“What’s up?” Bai Muchuan chuckled, took her wrist, and pulled her to the front while gently holding her in his arms and gave her a kiss. “Our work is meaningful…”
Xiang Wan nodded. “I understand. I know what it takes to become the wife of a detective.”
“Be good.” Bai Muchuan pinched her nose gently as if he knew something was bothering her. “Don’t think too much. I’ll protect myself for your sake, my wife.”
“Alright!”
…
…
When it was dinner time, Fang Yuanyuan returned.
She had eaten outside and was kind enough to bring back a roast duck for them.
She told them that she bought it from the famous store in the Capital. They could smell the aroma of the roast duck through the paper bag…
“I’m drooling for it already!”
Xiang Wan had laid the table and was chatting casually with Fang Yuanyuan.
Fang Yuanyuan talked about her shopping trip first then she started to gossip.
“Sis, how did Xuan Yue and Hu Bandao got together? Du Landuo just died recently. I don’t even know what to say anymore…”
Xiang Wan looked surprised. “Xuan Yue’s not with you guys today?”
“She’s not with us. If she’s there, how could we talk about the case?”
When Fang Yuanyuan said so, she went to wash her hands then sat on the sofa and chewed on a piece of fruit that they had washed.
“Qing Dai told me that Xuan Yue asked s.h.i.+ Liu to accompany her though, since the incident had terrified her!”
s.h.i.+ Liu was also one of the female authors Xiang Wan met yesterday.
In fact, there were many authors in the Capital. When Fang Yuanyuan arranged to meet them, s.h.i.+ Liu was the first one she looked for. She was an author under Fang Yuanyuan’s care. s.h.i.+ Liu was on good terms with Xuan Yue, so they got together for a meal at the kebab eatery…
“So, you went shopping with only Qing Dai and Yun Lanlan today?”
“You’re right!” Fang Yuanyuan answered.
“I see.” Xiang Wan sat down and filled a bowl with rice for Bai Muchuan.
“Hmph!” Fang Yuanyuan snorted, “I was quite bored today since you didn’t want to join me…”
“Well, I have work to do,” said Xiang Wan, and she took a piece of the roast duck. “Hmm, nice!”
Fang Yuanyuan shot a condescending look at her then checked out her mobile phone while eating her fruit, and started chatting with them.
“There are many people talking about the ‘zombie’ case, saying that since the girl had taken drugs, if she was found to have mental problems, would she be held guilty? The thought of it gives me the creeps! If this kind of drug got circulated widely, what would happen? I don’t dare to think about it anymore…”
Don’t dare to think but dare to talk about it?
Xiang Wan was having dinner.
When Fang Yuanyuan mentioned the case, the thought of seeing Hu Bandao’s corpse and the b.l.o.o.d.y smell popped out in her head.
She gasped before raising the volume of her voice and spoke loudly while facing the living room. “Just look at the news yourself and stop blabbering about it!”
Bai Muchuan looked at her, the corners of his lips quirked upwards.
Fang Yuanyuan raised her volume back too. “Don’t you think it’s strange? She shouldn’t be the only one who had taken this kind of drug, right? Why was she the only one who reacted that way? Could it be that her body const.i.tution was different?”
As Xiang Wan heard this, her hands that were holding her chopsticks stopped moving.
Bai Muchuan saw that her eyebrows crumpled together. He put a piece of roast duck on her bowl.
“Don’t think about it anymore.”
“It’s not that.” Xiang Wan squinted her eyes. “I suddenly thought of something.”
“What is it?”
Xiang Wan looked up. “Wen Xin Nunnery, do you still remember?”
Bai Muchuan’s immediately turned grim.
At that place, both of them were made to inhale a kind of drug that they hadn’t managed to identify until now.
Under the influence of the drug, he had nearly lost control of himself…
“I remember that the Meng Chi-alike voice said that we are his guinea pigs,” said Xiang Wan, “helping him to test the drug…”
Bai Muchuan asked, “You suspect that this has something to do with that drug?”
Xiang Wan kept quiet.
Three seconds later, she nodded her head slowly.
“It might very well be possible. That operation you’re working on right now… maybe this has something to do with it…”
The two of them discussed this softly at the dinner table.
Fang Yuanyuan couldn’t hear what they were talking about and started to protest.
“What are you two mumbling about? Hurry and share it with me? I’m so curious about this case. I discussed it with Qing Dai and Yun Lanlan the whole day about it, but there’s hardly anything new at all…”
Xiang Wan turned her head. “Sure, you can continue to discuss with them tomorrow!”
“Not tomorrow!” Fang Yuanyuan snorted a laugh. “My dear sister, tomorrow’s my big day.”
“…” Xiang Wan was dumbstruck for a moment.
Oh, tomorrow’s Monday?! she thought.
…
…
The next day, Fang Yuanyuan got up very early. She put on makeup and went to the salon to do her hair. After that, she changed into the clothes she had prepared, and Bai Muchuan brought her to see her groom.
Of course, Xiang Wan would follow her too.
While on their way, the three of them were silent.
It was obviously not a long journey, but Xiang Wan had a feeling that she was sending her cousin away to marriage.
“Do you feel excited?” Fang Yuanyuan suddenly asked.
Xiang Wan looked at her. “… Nope, I’m not the one getting married.”
“Hehehe!” Fang Yuanyuan placed her hand on her chest. “My heart is pounding so loudly, I haven’t seen him for so long!”
“…”
Well, she hadn’t met him for just a small amount of time, but she was already missing him so much.
What should she do when she couldn’t meet him for a really long time?
Xiang Wan did not tell her about her thoughts and just let her be.
…
The car stopped at a street behind the detention center.
A shop along the street was open with several empty display shelves. The shop seemed as if it had not been opened for business for a long time.
There were people who received them and led them up to the second floor.
Huang He was in there.
It looked like they had really gone all out to help Huang He fulfill his wish.
Now that they met each other, they could not say a word for quite a few seconds.
Huang He’s hair was as if shaven to become bald. He frowned when he saw Fang Yuanyuan and embraced Fang Yuanyuan before Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan.
“How are you?”
Falling into his arms and hearing the familiar voice in her ears, Fang Yuanyuan felt that her eyes were starting to get a little warm, but she still managed to laugh.
“I thought you will be asking me if I have considered it thoroughly.”
“Hur.” Huang He’s arms tightened, and his voice sounded faint as if he were laughing. “I don’t need to ask that. I know you have made your decision, so have I.”
“Mm…” Fang Yuanyuan rested her head on his chest while feeling a little shy. “I won’t regret this,” she breathed, “I choose this path, and I’ll walk it no matter what…”
“Thanks for believing in me!” Huang He let go of her slowly and held both of her shoulders. Both of them looked into each other’s eyes, and he stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, he pulled out a jewelry box from the pocket of his jacket, opened it, and took out a ring before kneeling on one knee.
“Marry me, Yuanyuan. I’ll be good to you. I swear that I’ll be good to you not only in this lifetime…”
“Yes…” Fang Yuanyuan immediately replied.
After that, she realized that Huang He had not finished his words.
He hadn’t even asked her if she was willing to marry him.
“Ahem!”
She tucked her hair behind her ear awkwardly. “Did I reply too fast and too unreserved?”
“No, no, you are never reserved. We understand you.” Xiang Wan said while sneaking a laugh.
“I’m the one who couldn’t wait.” Huang He got up slowly while he looked at Fang Yuanyuan, who was feeling shy. He put the ring on her middle finger before giving her the jewelry box.
“It’s your turn now!”
That was a pair of couple ring.
He had just put the woman’s ring on Fang Yuanyuan. There was the man’s ring inside the box.
“Orh.” Fang Yuanyuan looked into his eyes, her hands seemed to have stiffened while she tried several times but had yet to put the ring on him. She was nervous.
“It’s my first time doing this… did I hurt you?”
“Nope.” Huang He looked at her pair of fair hands.
They were meaty and fair. Her skin felt so nice that it looked like it was glowing.
He looked as if that sight had enchanted him.
A while later, Fang Yuanyuan finally put the ring on him and heaved a sigh of relief. “Is this considered a private pledge between us?”
“Not really. Don’t we have witnesses here?”
There were not only Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan present there with them. There were also a photographer and two marriage registrars.
They had specially sought all these people for this very occasion. They were all smiling at the two of them who were about to get married.
Fang Yuanyuan was a little embarra.s.sed. “This marriage ceremony seemed a little too grand, don’t you think so?”
Huang He’s eyes dimmed for a moment.
He thought she had meant the opposite.
“It’s a little too simple for now. I’ll make it up to you one day.”
“I…” Fang Yuanyuan wanted to explain but suddenly she decided to show a sweet smile instead. “Alright, make sure you remember that you owed me a grand wedding.”
“I owe you that!” Huang He took her hand and squeezed it firmly. “I’ll definitely make it up to you for sure.”
“Mm!” Fang Yuanyuan smiled happily, while seemingly blus.h.i.+ng while she heard that.
The photographer reminded them with a smile. “Hurry both of you, let’s take the wedding photo first!”
Time is of the essence.
n.o.body wanted to waste anymore time.
They had to take a simple photo to put in their marriage certificate. However, Fang Yuanyuan’s eyebrows furrowed at the white backdrop and looked at her white s.h.i.+rt underneath her jacket.
“Is this color is not suitable?
“Not a problem, watch me!”
The photographer had come prepared. He took out a piece of red cloth and covered it over the white backdrop. Then, he adjusted it into a satisfying look as he dusted off his hands.
“Okay, all done.”
That’s it?
This was really simple…
Fang Yuanyuan and Huang He looked at each other and sat on the long bench before the backdrop.
