Chapter 127: Mini Side Stories
Mini Side Story: Heartless Cold Face Part 1
Ever since Han Chen and Su Mian announced their relationship, the once famous City Lan’s law enforcement’s most wanted bachelor has now stepped out of the view of women.
But very quickly, another man has taken Han Chen’s place as female officers, investigators, and prosecutors’ ideal person to marry.
He is Cold Face!
Most women who are in law enforcement jobs are too great in their studies or not too good with their social skills. There are a bunch of men in the system available if they want to find one. But to find a boyfriend who’s earnest, affectionate, and knows when you’re sick or well, it’s not that easy.
And this man, the new “star of law enforcement”, satisfies the majority of women’s criteria for a boyfriend and a husband!
First off, he’s handsome. His features are gorgeous and he’s tall. Although he’s not unbelievably handsome like Han Chen, to the point where women’s hearts skip a beat from a glimpse of him, it’s actually better. He’s just right. If he was as handsome as Han Chen, it would make a woman feel insecure.
Furthermore, according to Xiao Zhuan, who often goes to the gym with him, “Cold Face has an eight-pack and a very pretty mermaid line! But how come he doesn’t look buff at all when wearing clothes?” The women hearing this snippet of news all sigh——Zhou Xiao Zhuan, for a guy who’s skinny like a baseball bat, what do you know about a guy’s body? This is the kind of body that every man should have, refined but not buff!
Additionally, he’s very proper and single-minded. He never seeks after beauties. He apparently has had only one girlfriend in the past. He’s been single since the breakup. Other girls have pursued him, but he has never once been moved. He’s such an honest man who never cheats. If you could open his heart again and make him be your boyfriend, can you imagine how much he would be in love with you?
To add further, he has countless other strengths! He’s good at detective work, has great achievements, and is a top investigator of the police force. Although he won’t lead you to live a wealthy life, he will definitely be able to build a safe and steady future with you. His athleticism and shooting skills are top notches. He’s Province K’s champion in kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and shooting competitions. If you become his woman, you feel as if you’ve married the leader of the Martial Arts circle; who would dare bully you then? Moreover, the most insane thing is that he’s very, very good at cooking! He even knows how to make soup! The members of the Black Shield Team apparently goes to Cold Face’s home to eat whenever they have time. Black Chicken Soup, Turtle Soup, Pork Belly Soup…his menu never repeats. Therefore, the Black Shield Team is always full of energy. It’s all because Cold Face is feeding them well!
And therefore, when these many talents are found in a man and he’s still single and is not good at conversing, what reasons are there to stop him from becoming the most popular guy among women?!
……
Somehow all the single women from every station, courthouse, and prosecutor’s office have more or less heard of Cold Face’s existence.
And somehow, Cold Face has started receiving many aggressive pursuits and confessions.
For example……
He was at a certain station to retrieve some documents. In the quiet archives room, when he was giving the old administrator a cigarette, a couple of young female officers appeared suddenly. Their long hair swayed and the smell of perfume permeated the air. They were dressed in their police uniform shirts accenting their prettiness and valiantness. The old administrator couldn’t take his eyes off of them.
But Cold Face didn’t even glance at them.
The female offices looked at each other. They then chuckled and surrounded him, “You’re the famous Teacher Cold Face? We’re your fans! We’re very interested in the Black Shield Team and are thinking of taking the test next year. Teacher Cold Face, can you give us some pointers?”
If it were any other man (not including Han Chen), they would be floating above ground when facing these pretty female officers. But Cold Face……
He frowned his eyebrows slightly, picked up the documents he needed, and avoided eye contact with them by looking down.
“No,” he turned around and left.
The female officers were struck dumb, “……”
Or another example……
On a certain day, he was delivering some information to the courthouse. The moment he entered, he was called by a young female prosecutor, “Cold Face, come here with me for a second.”
A certain murder case was under review at the time, so there must be a reason for a prosecutor to be looking for him. Cold Face followed her to the office without hesitation.
After he sat down, the female prosecutor handed him a file and asked a few questions. Cold Face frowned his eyebrows again. It was because the questions were very simple. As a prosecutor, her intelligence shouldn’t be……Just when he was thinking about this, he lifted his head and glanced at her. What he didn’t know was that his rather calm, indifferent, and manly glance made the female prosecutor lose her composure. She thought to herself: she’s highly educated, has a decent body figure, and is called the beauty of XX Courthouse, so they must be……a perfect match. She lifted her eyes and looked at him. Very gently and softly, she asked, “Cold Face, I heard that you don’t have a girlfriend?”
Cold Face’s eyes were still on the file as he answered casually, “Mm.”
“What do you think about me then?”
Although Cold Face was taciturn, he was unlike Zhou Xiao Zhuan, who was still a young lad and didn’t know much. He paused hearing the question, placed the file down and stared at the female prosecutor.
“Not much.”
The female prosecutor was speechless, “……”
Cold Face got up, “I’ll get going if there’s nothing else.”
And then he left.
……
After these incidents happened numerous times, Cold Face’s “heartless” nickname is known in the entire law enforcement system. He’s certainly a man who makes one love and hate at the same time. Therefore, everybody wonders what kind of woman can possess Cold Face’s heart.
Even the Black Shield Team is gossiping about it. On a certain day when they finish eating their takeouts, Chatterbox taps his chopsticks against his cup, “Dong, dong, dong……Place your bets, place your bets now. Who could it be that will be able to pick Cold Face, this flower on the high mountain!”
Han Chen and Cold Face obviously won’t participate in such a boring topic. Xiao Zhuan and Su Mian will naturally be excited about it.
Xiao Zhuan thinks hard and shakes his head, “I don’t know either! I don’t really know this sort of thing……”
Su Mian, on the other hand, acts like she’s a pro and sighs, “He doesn’t like those pretty and cute girls. He doesn’t like those cold and sexy girls either. From the looks of it, Cold Face must like weirdos.”
Cold Face responds immediately, “Be quiet.”
……
Therefore, everybody believes that Cold Face will stay single for life. Even Cold Face seems to have gotten used to the single life. It’s not that he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend; she’s gotten married and has kids already. He just doesn’t know how to start a new love relationship.
It’s probably because the feeling isn’t there yet, so he doesn’t want to force it.
Until one day……
It’s a very ordinary and peaceful day. The only slight turbulence is probably Cold Face’s arm getting cut by a knife while catching a criminal. And therefore, in this sunny and quiet afternoon, he knocks on the door of the medical office room.
The medical office has a faint sterile smell. But it also has an even fainter smell of freshness; like flowers and grass.
He looks down and sees a very small plant on the desk. There is also a small fishbowl with a very small goldfish swimming around in it. In this serious police station filled with the aura of manliness, seeing these decorations suddenly makes one feel calm and soothing.
“Wait a sec! I’ll be out once I’m done washing my face!” a female voice says crisply from inside.
That voice actually sounds very nice.
Cold Face takes a peek through the muslin curtains and then sits down on a chair. Information about the doctor floats across his mind; he seems to have heard Chatterbox and the others talk about her; something about a new intern doctor has come working at the medical office and that she is quite pretty and don’t have a boyfriend.
He didn’t pay too much attention to the other details.
After he waits for a while, the curtains are flipped open and someone walks out from them. Cold Face raises his head to look.
……
Xiao Zhuan feels that Cold Face has been acting weird in these couple of days. Why is he going to the medical office every day at noon? Didn’t he only get a cut on his arm? When he was stabbed with a knife by Xu Nan Bai last time, he didn’t visit the medical office that often. Could it be that his wound is more serious than it looks?
With that thought in mind, Xiao Zhuan shows his care as the team eats dinner together, “Cold Face, why are you going to the medical office so many times recently? Is it because your wound has not recovered yet?”
Just when he finishes, everybody lifts their heads to look at Cold Face.
Cold Face takes a sip of his soup and says calmly, “No. I’m pursuing someone.”
“Pfft!” “Pfft!” “Pfft!”……Xiao Zhuan, Chatterbox, and Su Mian spurt out the soup in their mouths. Han Chen also lifts his eyes to look at Cold Face.
“Pursuing someone?” Chatterbox asks in disbelief, “It’s not what we think it is, is it?”
Cold Face doesn’t bother answering such nonsense question, so he continues drinking his soup.
Everyone at the table is a top-notch investigator nonetheless, so they connect the dots instantly.
Chatterbox says, “You’re pursuing the doctor? Holy s.hit!! She’s very popular, you know?! I want to pursue her too!”
Cold Face raises his head and glances at him, “Give it up.”
Chatterbox is speechless, “You!!!”
Xiao Zhuan says, “Ahhhh! I like that doctor girl a lot. Cold Face, you have such good taste.”
Cold Face smiles. Han Chen doesn’t comment; he pats his shoulder to express his support.
A woman reacts slower than men when it comes to these things. Su Mian thinks for a moment and finally remembers who the doctor girl is. She slaps her thigh and says, “Holy s.hit! Cold Face, you actually like that kind of soft and cute women?!”
Cold Face lowers his head and lights up a cigarette. He smiles faintly, “I do indeed like that soft and cute kind of women.”
Mini Side Story: Heartless Cold Face Part 2
And then on one bright afternoon……
“What did you say? Doctor Xia absolutely does not like the kind of men like Cold Face?”
Zhou Xiao Zhuan jaws drop from shock. Su Mian spreads her arms out helplessly, “What can I do? It’s what she said. A few others in the medical office heard it too.”
They both secretly look toward Cold Face.
Big Brother Cold Face is sitting by the window. His cold and fair white side profile is manly and gentle. He tilts his head to light up a cigarette and doesn’t comment. Chatterbox starts blabbering, “That little girl says she doesn’t like Cold Face? How can she possibly not like Cold Face? Cold Face is the most popular man in the whole police station. He’s miles ahead of me and Xiao Zhuan! How could there be someone who doesn’t like him?!” He talks out loud with an angry expression on his face but it’s obvious that he’s making fun.
Xiao Zhuan, who’s also “not a popular man,” is pleased inside hearing his words: this is too childish and a little overboard!
Su Mian is in battle mode to help Cold Face fight for his love. She leans against Cold Face’s table full of worry, “Big Brother Cold Face, what should we do now? Why don’t I lure her to our office and you l…..”
Before she could finish, Han Chen presses down on her head, “What rotten idea are you coming up with?”
Before she could finish, Han Chen presses down on her head, “What rotten idea are you coming up with?”
Su Mian responds, “What about it?…..”
“What you don’t want to be done to you, don’t do to others (idiom),” Han Chen says indifferently, clearly hinting something. In others eyes, he’s cool and handsome looking and carries a sense of responsibility. But Su Mian understands him right away and her face blushes.
She indeed did not have the “appetite” last night, but he still “did it”! F–k!
The other four are chit-chatting while Cold Face, the subject of discussion, continues smoking with his head down. Without saying anything, he gets up and leaves.
The medical office is in another building. The sun is shining quietly at this hour and there aren’t a lot of people around. Doctor Xia is on the second floor. There are a couple of small plants on the balcony and the wind is blowing on the curtains lightly.
Cold Face is standing below, smoking while leaning against the lamp post. After a while, he spots the cute and soft girl of his wearing a white coat walking out of the office. She’s holding her chin with her fingers and looking far away like she’s staring into nothingness out of boredom.
Cold Face continues smoking like this. His usual expressionless face finally shows a bit of disappointment.
She doesn’t like him?
Why?
The long-awaited feeling of interest; does it have to end before it begins?
The last time he felt this way, it lasted three years before he was dumped. This time, he hasn’t even started and it’s over……
F–k.
_____
The medical office at the police station is actually not busy at all. It’s early in the morning and Xia Zi Qi has nothing to do. She feeds her goldfish, water the plants, and then walks around on the balcony.
She’s just carelessly wandering until she lifts her head and sees a familiar figure down below.
The sun is shining brightly. He’s dressed in his police uniform while leaning against the wall in the corner and smoking. His head is tilted upward as if he looks this way. Xia Zi Qi’s face flushes immediately.
He’s here.
He’s here again.
Chi Chen.
Although everybody calls him Cold Face, even the lady at the cafeteria would greet him cheerfully, “Cold Face, you’re here,” Xia Zi Qi remembers his actual name well. It’s because his name is just like him; it makes one’s heart beat fast in panic from just one look.
The best kind of love in the world is one where both individuals are in love with each other and understand each other. But if he doesn’t take action and she doesn’t have the confidence, this relationship will be destined to be bittersweet.
Xia Zi Qi stands there quietly and pretends that she doesn’t see him. But she can’t stop looking at him from the corner of her eye. After a few minutes, she sees him toss the cigarette to the ground suddenly and steps on it.
And then……
He’s coming toward the medical office.
Xia Zi Qi runs inside quickly. She takes a big drink of water and pats her burning face with her hands. She steadies her breathing and pretends to be calm and composed.
Cold Face knocks on the door, comes in and sees this. The office is quiet, clean, and warm; just like her. She’s sitting behind the desk. Her features are refined and pretty.
Cold Face’s heart pounds quietly without anybody knowing.
A certain thought is becoming more firm and clear:
She wants him to give up?
It won’t be that easy.
The atmosphere seems to be filled with uneasiness and anxiousness.
Cold Face sits down in front of her desk.
Xia Zi Qi’s eyes are glued to the medical book in front of her, not daring to look into his eyes. It’s because his gaze is blazing, and it always makes her feel uncomfortable.
“Your wound is already fully recovered, so you don’t have to come anymore,” she says.
She’s all down to business. Cold Face feels his heart being hurt again. After a moment, he answers, “The wound feels a bit uncomfortable today, can you take a look at it again?”
Cold Face seldom acts like a scoundrel. But probably because he’s been around Han Chen for too long, so he admits that he’s been influenced by him……
“Oh, take off your shirt then,” Xia Zi Qi says indifferently while feeling a bit disappointed inside——it turns out that he’s only here because his wound feels uncomfortable.
But isn’t this normal? Otherwise, why would he come looking for her? It’s not like he has feelings for her, right?
Cold Face turns his back to her and unzips his jacket revealing his shirt inside. He unbuttons his shirt and lowers the top exposing his wounded shoulder. Xia Zi Qi stands up bending slightly over to take a look at it.

It’s been healed very well……Why would he feel discomfort?
“What kind of discomfort are you feeling?” she asks him seriously.
What kind of discomfort?
Cold Face can’t find an answer to that. He remains quiet for a few seconds and then replies slowly, “Itchiness. A bit of pain and fidgety.”
Mini Side Story: Heartless Cold Face Part 3
“Itchiness. A bit of pain and fidgety,” the moment Cold Face finishes, Xia Zi Qi loses her concentration.
The office is quiet. In the spacious room, there are only the two of them. His jacket is lowered half-way and the reddish colored wound is like an eclipse on his shoulder. His skin color is of Xia Zi Qi’s favorite kind: slightly tanned; most probably due to long periods of training, it’s also firm and strong. And especially when looking at his shoulders and back, you can tell that this man’s body is……
Not buff yet wild.
Just like every time she checks his wound, the view is too exceptional; it’s becoming more and more intense lately. Due to the visual shock, Xia Zi Qi didn’t listen to what he said clearly, but she’s too embarrassed to ask him again. Therefore, she lets out an “Mm,” and answers, “I’ll prescribe you some more medicine then.”
Cold Face responds, “……Okay.”
There’s a bit of turbulence in the man’s heart. A voice says: she indeed does not have him in her heart. His words were so ambiguous and full of hints; he would never tell someone who’s not close to him that he feels “irritated.” But she doesn’t care at all. Another voice sighs quietly: she is indeed soft and cute; very soft and cute……can a man’s fidgety be treated with medicine?
Xia Zi Qi is a smart girl, so she prescribes the medicine to him quickly: two boxes of vitamins and one box of protein powder.
>Cough, cough
Cold Face puts his shirt and jacket back on, takes the medicines, sweeps his eyes at her and doesn’t say anything.
Xia Zi Qi keeps calm and smiles slightly, “See you.”
Cold Face is a manly man who likes to take charge like Han Chen nonetheless. He gets up without showing any expression on his face, walks to the door and stops suddenly.
“We’ll see each other again, Xia Zi Qi.”
Xia Zi Qi doesn’t know how to respond, “……”
Right after he leaves, she wants to bang her head on her desk: I’m done for, I’m done for! He must be thinking that she was brushing him off by giving him vitamin and protein powder. Just listen to those fierce words of his: We’ll see each other again! He even remembers her name. She hears that he’s never friendly toward women, so he must hold a grudge on her now!
She seems to be able to see her secret feelings for him leave with the wind.
Sigh, Chi Chen. A man who comes and goes like the wind……
And at the same time, Cold Face, the man who comes and goes like the wind, has just returned to his seat in the office. His hand is still in his pocket, holding onto those few boxes of medicine.
Although he doesn’t understand why she gave him vitamins, just thinking about her every expression full of cuteness and her every word just now, his heart is tender yet agitated.
He looks down at the boxes again. His handsome face that never shows a lot of expressions slowly reveals a bit of redness from the agitation.
The vitamin she has given him……
He eats it all.
_____
After that, Cold Face has simply been too busy, so they haven’t made progress. But at least he’s kept in touch with Xia Zi Qi. This keeping in touch is actually……
Every three to five days, he would bump into her in the cafeteria. The Black Shield Team would obviously act as a team and sit in the tables around her, leaving the best view to Cold Face letting him observe his girl at all angles. If there are any male officers trying to take a seat near Xia Zi Qi, Su Mian and Xiao Zhuan would immediately rush over like guardians and force the individuals away by sitting beside her themselves; successfully guarding her for Cold Face.
Furthermore, Cold Face, who normally don’t pay attention to other officers getting wounded, would actually send them to the medical officer himself. He would watch them get treated. Someone says feeling strange, “How come Cold Face is acting so friendly these days? He’s not……hehheh, trying to pursue that little girl from the medical office, is he?” The Black Shield Team sure is black (evil). They must not alert the other party when their member is secretly pursuing her, so Big Boss Han stands up and says indifferently, “Cold Face has too little contact with other colleagues, so I told him to go.”
……
After his many visits, the two of them gradually know each other better. Cold Face learns that this woman has no boyfriend and has even turned down a few officers in the station (ha……). Xia Zi Qi also learns that although Cold Face seems cold and unfriendly on the outside, he’s actually very considerate. A few times when he accompanied his colleagues to come, there were a lot of details that she didn’t notice and he would remind her. He currently has no girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend broke up with him because he was always too busy at work. He’s really not the type that falls in love easily, so he has been single for all these years. If she were to be his girlfriend, she would definitely not hurt him like that……
What should she do?….. She seems to like him more and more.
This long and unpredictable attempt at probing and coming closer finally ends one weekend.
This weekend is the province-wide police kickboxing competition. Originally, Cold Face, who has won numerous times and is considered the best of the best, didn’t care about participating. But Black Shield Team’s idiots: Su Mian, Xiao Zhuan, and Chatterbox insist that he must get the top place.
He doesn’t really mind, so he agrees to go.
And after knowing his participation, Xia Zi Qi hasn’t been able to calm herself down and has been fidgeting the whole day. Once it’s evening, she arrives at the venue early.

Mini Side Story: Han Chen’s Wealth
When it comes to Han Chen’s wealth, it has always been a mystery to Su Mian.
First of all, he’s a criminal investigator. Even if he’s one of the elites in the whole province and is an expert for the youths in the Ministry of Security, his monthly pay is no more than a couple of thousands. Performing well definitely don’t give him any extra bonuses either; he would get a silk banner at most.
What’s the use of a silk banner? It can’t be eaten or drunken. For someone who’s about to become Mrs. Han, Su Mian expresses her worry about having an income of less than five thousand.
But even with this income, Han Chen drives a Land Rover and the cigarettes he used to smoke are of the Suyan brand. Although he lives in a two-bedroom apartment, it’s in the most expensive area of the entire city. Therefore, Su Mian often wonders——where exactly does his money come from?
The answer is actually quite obvious.
Since he has no side jobs and he’s still young so he can’t possibly have a lot of savings. Young Master Han, who’s from a wealthy family, is obviously spending his parents’ and family’s money.
Although this is surprising to Su Mian, it’s not hard to understand. Even though Han Chen is an incredible criminal investigator, he was once a thriftless young master. Among their circle of friends, Monkey, Da Wei, and the others all probably live this way.
Furthermore, despite he doesn’t make a lot of money, he saves many lives; it’s incomparable no matter how much money you have. Therefore, Su Mian’s conclusion is: although Young Master Han is spending his family’s money, he’s entitled to it! Who says that men can’t inherit their family’s wealth? If they don’t share the wealth with him, the only son, who else could they share it with?
And thus, Su Mian throws the thought to the back of her mind. It’s just that sometimes Han Chen buys her things like clothes, jewelry, electronics……he doesn’t feel any pain from his wallet; he swipes his credit card without frowning an eyebrow. Su Mian, on the other hand, feels the pain and tries to stop him, “Wait! I don’t need it! I don’t think……I really like this anyway.”
A woman’s change of heart makes Han Chen frown his eyebrows slightly. But what can he do if she doesn’t like it? In the end, he gives her a supplementary card, “Buy whatever you want to buy yourself.”
Su Mian holds the card in her hands with tears flowing in her heart: F–k! You’re throwing a credit card at her?! The one she married is supposed to be a passionate super detective and not a cool, handsome, and imposing CEO! Regardless of how wealthy the Han Family is, it won’t be enough for him to waste!
Therefore, in the next couple of days, Han Chen can’t help feeling like Su Mian is looking at him weirdly. There seems to be a bit of resentment for something that’s not meeting her expectations and there seems to be a worry. He tries asking her but she always laughs it away and won’t tell him (Su Mian is afraid of hurting Han Chen’s dignity as a man).
Until one day——
Su Mian is at home while Han Chen is working at the station. He calls her suddenly and tells her an account number saying, “This is Monkey’s account number. Dad saw an inkstone that he really liked but doesn’t have the money to buy it. Monkey told me about it. Can you transfer some money over to Monkey? He will buy the inkstone for my dad.”
Su Mian replies, “Oh, okay.” Just when she is about to hang up, she realizes something, “Wait!”
“What is it?”
Su Mian says with a bit of disbelief, “Why would your dad not have money?”
She braces herself as if she’s about to go up against her strongest opponent——could it be that Han Chen has really spent away all of Han Family’s money? Oh s.hit!
Han Chen, on the other end, remains quiet for a moment and then laughs answering, “Although my dad is in a high position and doesn’t need to worry about money and my family’s financial situation is not bad, with my dad not being greedy and don’t accept bribery, his income at most is enough for the family to be well-off. For an inkstone that’s about a couple hundred thousands of dollars, it’s not that easy for him to shell out so much money and he won’t be willing to.”
Su Mian’s jaws drop, “Hah! Then where does……your money come from?”
Han Chen keeps quiet for a second and then says slowly:
“Did you always think that I’ve been eating off of someone else?”
Of course, Han Chen doesn’t. A man’s arrogance can be seen based on how he treats women, his work, as well as his attitude toward money. In Young Master Han’s heart, if a twenty-something-year-old man only knows how to spend his family’s money, he’s just a good-for-nothing brat.
So where do his money, his car, and his brand name cigarettes come from then?
“Stocks,” he answers.
After Han Chen comes home tonight, he tosses her his account details which contains all of his money. Su Mian is a bit excited as she’s about to take a peek at her own man’s fortune. She logs onto the online banking website and her eyes open wide.
Although he’s not wealthy to the point of being a rich man, it’s enough for him to spend for the rest of his life.
Su Mian is a bit shocked yet understands at the same time, “Could it be that those who are good at math will also do well in investing in stocks?”
Han Chen embraces her and says indifferently, “When I was in high school, the stock market was doing really well, so I made quite a bit. And then when I was in university, I used my relative’s accounts and made double. I don’t do it anymore since I’ve made enough. My regular spending isn’t that much, so if you want to buy anything, just decide on your own.”
Su Mian wraps her arms around him, “Hubby, you actually have this much money! I’m truly a blind cat who bumped into a mouse!” (idiom, being lucky)
What kind of metaphor is this……
Han Chen remains quiet for a moment before laughing, “You think this is a lot of money?” He glances at her, “The Han Family has a long history. Although we’re not super wealthy, we have quite a number of calligraphy paintings, jewels, and other things. We own a few courtyard houses in Beijing (type of Chinese residence) and they will be given to me in the future. Compared to these, the money in the account isn’t really much.”
Su Mian blurts out, “Oh f–k!! What other properties do you have then? You better tell me all of them now!”
Han Chen takes a look at her, keeps quiet for a second and answers, “There’s one more, which is the most expensive property.”
Su Mian opens her eyes wide, “What is it, what is it?” It’s not that she covets for riches. She’s simply curious and wants to broaden her view, “Is it like a 4. 6 billion-year-old emerald or a calligraphy painting by wang Xizhi?”
Han Chen doesn’t answer. He falls back onto the bed and closes his eyes. Su Mian won’t let him off so easily. She crawls up on his chest and entangles him, “What treasure is it? Just let me see!”
Han Chen lowers his eyes to look at her, “What do you think? What other treasure do I have that has made me spent so much time chasing her? What could it be that almost cost me my life in getting her?”
