Xu Lan spaced out as he recalled how arrogant Li Xiu was when they captured him. What Xu Lan did not expect was for Li Xiu to be backed by such powerful allies. It would seem that Li Xiu was definitely working with Qiao Yi!
“… Bai Wu has a white tail, you’ve seen it before right?” Hu Cheng gave Xu Lan a weird look. Xu Lan immediately defended Bai Wu out of reflex.
“Yes, I have.”
“Alright, that’s it. I’m going to leave now,” said Xu Lan, who was disgusted by the smokey scent in the house.
“Okay, talk to you soon.” Hu Cheng chuckled. Xu Lan wondered if Hu Cheng’s yellow-stained teeth would scatter about when he bit into something particularly hard.
After walking out of the office, Xu Lan noticed the commotion in the hall. Hu Cheng trailed after Xu Lan to find out what was going on. Xu Lan saw Bai Wu standing in the middle of the crowd; he was chewing gum and wore a hoodie with a pair of shorts. Bai Wu noticed Xu Lan’s presence immediately and waved at him with a smile.
“He’s grown so much!” Hu Cheng said in disbelief.
“Uh huh, I’m heading down now.” Xu Lan refused to elaborate further and hurried down.
“Xu Lan, I’m here to bring you home.”
Bai Wu shouted when he saw Xu Lan made his way down. The crowd at the hall became more interested after hearing Bai Wu speak. The people from the office on the second and third floor rushed out to watch the fun.
“Why are you here?” asked Xu Lan. He did not know whether to laugh or to cry upon seeing the scene.
“I’m here for you. I got the manager to send me here. Instead of walking, I get to commute comfortably in the car.” Bai Wu smiled cheerfully as he made his way through the crowd to Xu Lan.
“Great! Haha, give me a second. I’m going to bid Wang Meng and the rest goodbye.” Xu Lan wanted to comb his fingers through Bai Wu’s hair, but he realized that their height difference made it impossible for him to do it now. He retracted his hand in embarrassment.
“It’s fine, they know you’re leaving,” Bai Wu said as he glanced at Xiao Feng and Wang Meng who were smiling from the third floor. Wang Meng waved at Xu Lan with his right hand, signaling for him to leave.
Bai Wu, being the gentleman that he was, opened the car door for Xu Lan and shielded his head as he got into the car. Bai Wu was excited to introduce Xu Lan to his manager. Somehow, Bai Wu managed to make a normal van seem classy. After seeing how happy Bai Wu was, Xu Lan felt ashamed and made a mental note to get a car soon.
“I don’t oppose to your relationship, but you must keep this a secret. Got it? Bai Wu came to the interview today. The tutors thought that he has great potential and decided to invest heavily in him,” said the manager. He was sending a message to Xu Lan.
“Why? Everyone around us knows about this!” Bai Wu asked as he was unaware of the nature of his occupation.
“… All the more reason for you to minimize the number of people who know about this!” The manager replied furiously.
“…” Bai Wu glanced at the manager. It made him feel like he was sitting on needles. “This is my personal life and he is the reason I decided to work in the first place. I want the whole world to know that Xu Lan belongs to me!”
“Pft, fine. Don’t scare the manager off. Control yourself.” Bai Wu’s declaration swept the gloominess away. The sun shone warmly.
“Alright, what about Song Xi?” Bai Wu could not resist asking.
“Pft, her boyfriend came to pick her up earlier,” Xu Lan replied his question cheerfully.
“Are both of you acquainted with the president’s wife?” The assistant asked curiously.
