"Sergeant Xiao, this is my distant relative, Bai Wu," Xu Lan said sternly without a smile.

"Uhm, let's go. Get into the car," Xiao Feng replied and nodded.

"We're going for a meal together and this is Sergeant Xiao," Xu Lan whispered darkly.

Bai Wu looked at Xu Lan and Xiao Feng. Bai Wu's instincts told him that Xiao Feng was a dangerous character and so he held his tongue.

"Huh? Papa isn't home today and I don't have food at home. Bai Wu promised to make me dinner earlier," Xiao Xiao noticed the signal and pleaded pitifully.

Xu Lan was overcome by anger, all he heard was the young girl saying that her father was not going to be home. 'Heck! Your father isn't home, but I am!' he thought angrily and dragged Bai Wu toward Xiao Feng.

"Papa..." Bai Wu whispered timidly. Xu Lan's grip was hurting him.

"Shut up! Go home!" Xu Lan was infuriated. He clenched his teeth and hissed, "Sergeant Xiao, I'm sorry that you have to witness this joke," Xu Lan said apologetically.

"Don't worry, it's normal for a teenager to start living his own life. Xiao Xu, it would be good to give him some space," Xiao Feng said calmly.

When Bai Wu heard Xiao Feng addressing Xu Lan as Xiao Xu, his anger was palpable. White smoke rose up around him. The sudden tension caught Xu Lan off guard. A twisted crack appeared in the air. This time around, Xu Lan could see the formation of the crack clearly.

Xu Lan gave Bai Wu a slap and whispered, "Are you insane?"

Bai Wu reigned in his anger and stared at Bai Wu with his red eyes 1 . He pursed his lips and did not say a word.

"We can reschedule if today isn't a good time for you." Xiao Feng felt the sudden onslaught of anger, even the hand he was holding cigarettes with was shivering.

"Uh, I'm so sorry. Today isn't a good day for me, please apologize to everyone on my behalf. As a token of my apology, I'll buy everyone a meal another day," Xu Lan smiled as he said.

Everyone waited for his arrival and the symbolism behind the meal was that Xu Lan's capability was finally being recognized by everyone. To think that something unexpected like this happened!

"It's fine, I'll head back now," Xiao Feng said as he stubbed his cigarette and opened the car door.

After watching Xiao Feng left in his car, Xiao Xiao blushed and said, "Bai Wu, if you're not going for dinner, will you still be coming over to cook for me?"

"No! If he can't even feed himself, he shouldn't even think of cooking for someone else!" Xu Lan gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao was surprised. She raised her head and saw Xu Lan's threatening face. Immediately, she took two steps back and whispered in fear.

"Okay, okay."

Xu Lan turned and kicked Bai Wu on his calf before saying darkly, "Scram!"

Bai Wu held his laughter and gestured at Xiao Xiao. The scene fueled on to Xu Lan's anger, leading him to kick Bai Wu on his other thigh.

"Papa..." Bai Wu rubbed on his calves and whined weakly.

"Home, now!" Xu Lan demanded grumpily, he was getting angrier by the second.

Xu Lan paced around the room restlessly. Meanwhile, Bai Wu sat quietly on the sofa and watched him like a child who did something wrong.

"Papa, aren't you tired?" he asked as he felt sorry for Xu Lan.

"I! What happened between you and Xiao Xiao? To think that you're addressing her in such an endearing tone!" Xu Lan's voice turned raspy out of anger and it gave off a hint of sexiness.

"We met when I was taking out the trash earlier today." Bai Wu's reply took Xu Lan by surprise, causing him to stumble and almost fell flat on his face. Bai Wu had good reflexes, he immediately leaped over to catch Xu Lan, "Papa, are you okay?"
