Chapter 123: Being a hero for once

As soon as Su Mianmian got off the plane, she quickly called Lu Xiangdong, mainly to ask about the mastiff's situation.

Lu Xiangdong looked at the mastiff lying in the corner with a resentful gaze. He spun the pen in his hand and said, "It's pretty good. I'll help you take care of it obediently."

Su Mianmian was very suspicious of him. No matter what, she had to trouble him to take care of the mastiff today.

"I'll come over right now to take it away. You can bring it downstairs later."

The dog's behavior in the company today was outstanding enough. He didn't want the people in the company to know that the dog belonged to Su Mianmian. He was almost done with his work, so he told her to go home. He would get off work in a few minutes.

Su Mianmian hung up the phone and checked the calendar. In three days, Ouyang Que would come to her place to pick up the mastiff. In the remaining days, she would treat it as a good deed and take the mastiff around.

After Lu Xiangdong went home, he kept quiet about the mastiff biting people in the company so that she wouldn't worry.

"No more vomiting?" He walked towards the living room and turned his head to look at the dog behind him.

Su Mianmian squatted down and patted its head. She nodded. "Yes, it's about time."

Was she really better? He was not going to expose her lie. The medicine was still with him, and he knew that she would not mention it.

"I'm taking the mastiff out for a walk. Do you want to come along?"

Lu Xiangdong threw his coat on the sofa, looked at the time on his watch, and nodded.

"Let's go. We'll go out for dinner."

They did not drive. They looked powerful with a dog beside them. No matter where they went, they were a beautiful sight.

Lu Xiangdong kept the dog between them to prevent it from biting people.

She raised her head and said to him, "Since you've accepted the mastiff, why don't we adopt a dog when the mastiff goes back?"

He would not bother with this animal, he thought that she should give birth.

"No." He refused instantly. How was he accepting? He clearly didn't like this dog. He had wasted a lot of time today because of this dog. If she had a dog, he would have to take care of her and a dog. He would be very tired.

"Why? Don't you think it's cute?"

"If you feel lonely, you should give birth to a child for me," he said very seriously.

"Huh?" She was stunned and turned to look at him. Was he serious? Did he really want her to give birth to his child?

"Why? You don't want to?" He curled his lips when he saw her expression. He frowned slightly.

"Oh. Do you like boys or girls?"

He didn't really mind. As long as it was her child, he would like it.

"What about you?" he asked her instead.

Su Mianmian shook her head. "Anything is fine."

He felt the same way, but Lu Wenzhong seemed to want a boy.

"Give me the dog leash. I think it's quite tiring for you to hold it." He suddenly moved closer to her. He wanted to reach out for the dog leash, but he accidentally held her hand. She looked up at him as if she had been electrocuted. Then, she shook off his hand and retreated to the side to let him hold the dog by himself.

Lu Xiangdong looked at her unhappily. "Why do you have such a reaction? Are there thorns on my body?"

She lowered her head, grabbed her hands, and pursed her lips.

"No."

'But who would be fooled by your reaction?' he thought to himself.

The mastiff suddenly raised its head and howled.

Su Mianmian and Lu Xiangdong looked at it in confusion.

"Mastiff, what's wrong?"

The mastiff's sense of smell had always been very sharp. It took a few steps forward, lay down, and sniffed the ground.

Lu Xiangdong and Su Mianmian were led forward by the mastiff. Su Mianmian asked nervously, "What's wrong with the mastiff?"

"I'm not sure. I think it smelled something."

After taking a few more steps forward, the mastiff suddenly stopped and lay on the ground, chewing on a bone.

Three black bars slid down Su Mianmian's forehead. She thought the mastiff had smelled something dangerous, but it only cared about filling its stomach. There was no danger at all.

Lu Xiangdong smiled as well. "The mastiff is hungry. It seems that we should find a place to eat something."

There weren't any good restaurants nearby; their only option was a wonton restaurant. Su Mianmian had never been particular about food. As long as she could fill her stomach, she would be happy. Lu Xiangdong, on the other hand, had always been particular about food. When he entered, he noticed that the environment inside wasn't particularly clean. After ordering a poached egg, Su Mianmian ordered a bowl of wontons for herself and for the mastiff.

A young woman and a child sat at the table next to them. The little boy held a pair of chopsticks in his hand and watched the mastiff eat wontons. He said in a childish voice, "Mommy, look at the dog eating."

The young woman looked at the mastiff. She patted the little boy's bowl with her chopsticks and shouted, "Eat your own food, don't mind other people's dogs."

"Mommy, I want to touch the dog. Its fur looks so beautiful." The little boy blinked his big eyes. To him, this huge animal was like a toy. He was full of curiosity about it.

The young woman almost choked. She quickly picked up her son and said in a frightened voice, "This dog is not yours. It could eat you in one bite. Don't touch it."

The little boy said worriedly, "Eat you up in one bite, like how he's eating the wonton?"

Su Mianmian was embarrassed. This ***** was making a fuss out of nothing. Not all dogs are cruel. The mastiff would not swallow a person up in one bite.

"Mastiff, hurry up and eat. After you finish, I will take you to a nearby place."

Lu Xiangdong really admired her physical strength.

"It's already so late. Don't bring it around to scare people." Lu Xiangdong took out some money from his wallet and handed it to the waiter. He implied that he wanted her to go home.

However, Su Mianmian saw that it was still early, and did not want to go home yet.

"Besides its size, it's actually harmless." Su Mianmian defended the mastiff. She thought that mastiffs were very cute, and only stupid people thought that mastiffs were scary.

He turned around and glanced at her. "Listen to me. Not everyone is as unafraid of it as you are."

"Are you afraid?" She knew that he actually liked mastiffs, but he would not admit this.

He didn't reply.

He was afraid that he wouldn't follow them out.

After they came out, a few men who had sat in the wonton restaurant followed behind them. They were not mistaken. Su Mianmian and Lu Xiangdong were wearing name brands. Only rich people would raise such mastiffs for no reason.

Su Mianmian felt someone following behind her. She leaned toward Lu Xiangdong. "Do you feel like you're being followed?"

He had sensed it long ago. It was probably because their clothes were too eye-catching.

Su Mianmian usually wore brand names, and he never wore street goods, so this made him even more eye-catching.

"Don't turn back. Keep walking. When you reach the corner in front, you take it first," Lu Xiangdong said calmly.

"What about you? If I'm not wrong, there are at least five people behind you. Can you beat so many people by yourself?" Su Mianmian rushed her steps, and sweat started to appear on her forehead.

He did not forget to joke when it was close to the moment. "Why don't I let you try and use your perfect tongue to persuade them?"

Su Mianmian rolled her eyes at him. It was already so late, yet he was still in the mood to joke. She looked at his relaxed expression and thought that it should not be a problem for him to take care of those people.

The mastiff suddenly smelled danger, and the dog chain slipped out of Su Mianmian's hand.

"Mastiff, where are you going?" Su Mianmian was shocked. She turned around and saw that the mastiff had already pounced on the group of people.

Lu Xiangdong asked her to stay where she was, and he went over to take a look.

"Where did this mad dog come from? You guys catch it." The group immediately revealed sinister smiles, they were not afraid of the mastiff at all.

Su Mianmian saw that they were holding knives in their hands. Someone slashed the back of the mastiff, causing it to cower and roll to the side.

The men surrounded the mastiff, and it was obvious that they wanted to kill it.

The mastiff seemed to have realized that it was in danger. It stuck out its tongue and licked its injured back. It howled wildly at the person who was approaching it.

"Brother, don't think that just because you bark loudly, I will be afraid of you. I will send you off now." The man raised the knife in his hand. However, before it pierced the mastiff's body, Su Mianmian kicked the knife away.

'CLANG!' The knife fell beside Su Mianmian's foot, and she kicked it away again.

"I thought it was someone! The owner of the dog is here." The man touched the corner of his mouth and looked at Lu Xiangdong with a wretched smile.

Lu Xiangdong did not look back. He waved at the mastiff, "Mastiff, come here."

The mastiff wagged its tail and dragged its injured body closer to him. The men looked at each other, then at Lu Xiangdong with a final look.

"Go to hell!" A man slashed at Lu Xiangdong's shoulder.

Su Mianmian stood to the side and shouted, "Be careful!"

Lu Xiangdong punched the man in the stomach. The mastiff jumped up and bit off a part of the man's chin.
