The middle-aged woman standing behind that man frowned too and secretly took a look at her son. Wen Feng’s face turned even darker after he was questioned by that man, but he knew he couldn’t lose his temper in front of this old friend, so he just glared at Wen Feng and said, “Guo, sorry, I’ll explain to you later.”

Lu Li looked deeply at Wen Ning. The latter felt his gaze, looked up at him and smiled as she raised her eyebrows and said, “He is my father, Wen Feng, and the beautiful woman beside him is my mother, Yan Ninghui.”

Wen Feng who had just sent his old friend away, heard Wen Ning introducing him to that man. His face darkened and he said coldly to Wen Feng. “I’m not your father! I’m not worthy of being your father!” He then took a look at Lu Li and snapped, “I don’t know where you found this bastard to play this drama with me! Wen Ning, I tell you, you’re no longer my daughter if you don’t get married by the end of this year!”

Upon hearing his words, Wen Ning frowned. She released Lu Li’s hand, took a step forward and crossed her arms over her chest. Then she looked at her father with a straight face and said coldly, “Old Wen, you sent me to the military academy to study. After graduation, I worked in SWAP and then in Interpol. I can work hard as you have demanded, but my time is limited. I’ve put all my time into my work, so how can I still have time to date? Now you blame me for not getting married? How can you blame me for this?”

She served in the army, and now was a senior inspector, so her aura was kind of domineering, and even her father’s aura was not as powerful as hers. The father and the daughter fell into a stalemate. Lu Li, who was standing at the side and watching the show, was not affected at all. He put a hand into his pocket and casually looked at the two of them, not intending to break the stalemate at all.

Yan Ninghui finally couldn’t stand it, she rushed up to pull Wen Feng aside and shouted at them helplessly, “That’s enough. This is not our home. If you want to fight, do it at home. Don’t start a fight here!”

“She is never home!” Wen Feng glared at Wen Ning.

Wen Ning snorted and sneered. “So what? I don’t feel at home over there!”

“Wen Ning!” Wen Feng thundered. “How can you speak to your father like this? Did you forget how I educated you? You’re being a disgrace to Interpol!”

Wen Ning shrugged and was about to speak, when Lu Li who was indifferently watching suddenly walked up to Wen Ning, and shielded her behind him. Wen Feng frowned and stared at him. Lu Li reached out his hand towards Wen Feng. “Hello, Colonel Wen, I’m Lu Li.”

He had thought he didn’t know this Wen Feng at first, but now he remembered Wen Feng was the commander of a regiment in City A. Long Xiao Group used to have a deal in City A and he had his men investigate the military army in City A. And Wen Feng was mentioned in the report. But Wen Feng was nothing special, so he wasn’t impressed with this man. He didn’t expect this man was Wen Ning’s father.

Wen Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Li. Then she took a step backward and stared at the back of Lu Li’s head. Wen Feng hadn’t seen Lu Li before, so he didn’t take him seriously. Hearing his self-introduction, he snorted and coldly said, “I don’t care who you are. You gotta leave Wen Ning. You don’t deserve her. If you are just hired by Wen Ning to play this drama to me, you can leave now. Not everyone can enter our Wen Family!”

Wen Ning got angry when she heard her father’s arrogant words. She snapped. “Old Wen, mind your tongue, if you don’t want me to stay single in this life!”

Wen Feng was infuriated by her words. He roared regardless of the occasion, “What do you want?!”

“I tell you, Old Wen. I don’t want any man else but him as my husband! Understand?!” Wen Ning raised her face and looked determined. “I’d rather stay single this life if the man I will marry is not Lu Li!”

Lu Li who had been indifferent to Wen Feng’s words suddenly looked back at Wen Ning and his eyes were icy. Wen Ning looked up to observe his reaction only to see his icy eyes. Wen Feng was about to scold Wen Ning, when Lu Li suddenly pulled Wen Ning into his arms. Wen Ning was held tightly against his chest and he stared down at her and narrowed his eyes. “What did you just say?”

Wen Ning never feared anything or anyone, but when she was in that military academy, she feared Lu Li a lot. When Lu Li disappeared the only man she feared was gone. Then as she accumulated work experiences, she had become a demon and iceberg in everyone’s eyes. When she met Lu Li just now, she boldly took the first step…

But now she feared. She feared that Lu Li suddenly said “But I don’t want to marry you, but you’re not my only choice.”

She clenched her hands, looked up at Lu Li and said word by word, “I said, I don’t want any man else but you as my husband.”

Lu Li tightly pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “Say it again.”

“Lu Li, I don’t want any man else but you as my husband.” Wen Ning looked resolutely at Lu Li.

Lu Li smiled, took a look at her and released her hand. Wen Ning grabbed him and asked nervously, “You…”

Lu Li shook off her hands, looked at Wen Feng and said firmly, “Colonel Wen, I’m your daughter’s boyfriend from today on. If you have any questions about me, please ask me. I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”

“From today on…” Wen Feng scowled, stared at Wen Ning and cursed angrily, “As I guessed, you hired this man to play this drama to me, right? You really let me down!”

Wen Ning was speechless. She looked at her father as she said, “Dad, you asked me to attend this dinner party but didn’t ban me from taking my boyfriend with me, right? Is it a sin for me to take my boyfriend here?”

“But you should find a decent man as your boyfriend!” Wen Feng stared at this handsome and genteel man, and couldn’t find any information about this man from his memory.

Wen Ning almost burst into fits of laughter. She took a look at Lu Li, and the latter took a deep breath and tried to figure out how to convince Wen Feng that he was a “decent” man, when two people walked towards them…

Wen Ning followed his gaze and was stunned.
