My Boyfriend Is A Dragon

Qin Lao had been urging for him to head back. Since the identity of the murderer was known, the police could handle the rest. All he needed to do was to send Bai Wu back.

Xu Lan thought, ‘There’s no way that I’ll send him back to you. When the void reopens, I’ll send Bai Wu away. There’s nothing you can do when the dragon is gone.’

He could scheme all he wanted, but he still got a good scolding from Qin Lao when Bai Wu ended up on a hospital bed with tubes attached all over his body.

Xu Lan was resting in bed while Bai Wu enjoyed his lollipop as he tried on his new clothes. Every now and then he would come over to ask for Xu Lan’s opinion of his new outfits. The clothes were picked out by the bodyguard and Bai Wu was the one who asked for the lollipop. Xu Lan was not feeling himself the entire afternoon.

“Nice,” Xu Lan answered emotionlessly every time.

Bai Wu was unhappy about Xu Lan’s impartiality. It was obvious that he was replying half-heartedly.

“Papa!” Bai Wu stood by the bed as he stamped his feet in frustration.

“Mmm?” Xu Lan was still spacing out when he replied casually. “Ah! Bai Wu, your Chinese zodiac sign is the sign of the dog?”

Xu Lan leaped in surprise as Bai Wu’s teeth sank into his skin. After Xu Lan got up, Bai Wu let go of his arm.

“Papa, you’re ignoring me,” Bai Wu said as he lowered his head like a guilty child.

“Ah, Papa was thinking about something else. Sorry, but could you please play with Liang Yu for now?” Liang Yu was the young man sent over by Qin Lao.

“No! I want to be with Papa!” insisted Bai Wu. He stomped over and lay down next to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan chuckled and got back in bed with him.

“Bai Wu, could you locate Li Xiu?” Xu Lan suddenly thought of something and immediately asked Bai Wu.

“He reeks of blood, why would I want to look for him?” said Bai Wu unhappily. He fell back into the bed again.

Bai Wu had been sleeping a lot lately. Besides clinging on to Xu Lan, all he did was sleep. He could fall asleep the moment his head touched the pillow.

Xu Lan propped him up and said, “So are you saying that you can locate him? Tomorrow is the tenth day. If we still can’t get hold of him, Papa won’t have money for your new clothes and candies.”

“I won’t have any candies then. Sister Xiao Jing said too much of candies will give me cavities.”

Xu Lan was amused. ‘Huh, Bai Wu must really hate Li Xiu!’ he thought.

“If we have money, Papa can bring you on a trip. You won’t be stuck here anymore. We can even get the grandpa to help us to think of a way for you to remain.”

“Do we need a lot of money? Will we have enough if Bai Wu doesn’t buy clothes anymore?” Bai Wu pouted and tugged on his shirt.

“Uh huh, that will need a lot of money. Cutting down on your clothing budget isn’t going to be enough. If we managed to find Li Xiu, we will have enough money,” Xu Lan persuaded.

If Bai Wu managed to locate Xu Lan amidst the pungent thick smoke, he would be able to locate Li Xiu. Moreover, Bai Wu did mention that he would not look for Li Xiu, not he could not look for Li Xiu.

“… Fine.” Bai Wu decided to compromise. He wished that Xu Lan would bring him for an outing but Xu Lan had been occupied with work ever since they got here.

Xu Lan got started immediately. A huge group of people trailed Bai Wu and together, they marched into Qinglong Mountains.
