Xu Baohan’s mind went wild, he opened the door and entered the room with her in his arms.
…
After He Mingqian’s lawsuit ended, both of their lives went back to normal. An Lan was busy with the legal work of Xuan Yuanlang’s new company in Xia City. Xuan Yuanlang didn’t come, but the early stages of the new company were hectic, An Lan was very busy every day.., she had to work overtime and socialize daily.
It was almost the end of the year, and Xu Baohan’s court work was getting busier and busier.
Not only that, it was his colleague’s birthday, and he had no choice but to go out for dinner and karaoke.
In the KTV, Judge Zhao’s father, who was celebrating his birthday, came over with a gla.s.s of wine and patted Xu Baohan’s shoulder enthusiastically. “Little Xu, I heard that you’ve found a girlfriend, why didn’t you bring her today?”
“She’s busy.”
Xu Baohan’s lips curled into a faint smile at the mention of his girlfriend.
“Since your girlfriend isn’t here, why don’t you have a drink with Uncle?” Judge Zhao’s father said cheerfully. “It’s already night, you guys don’t have to work anyway.”
Xu Baohan shook his head and refused. “I drove the car.”
“It’s alright, get a designated driver.” Father Zhao was an old drunkard, so he grabbed Xu Baohan and poured him some white wine.
Judge Zhao laughed loudly, “Dad, don’t get him drunk. If he goes back drunk, be careful that his girlfriend won’t come looking for trouble with me. Everyone in the court knows that his girlfriend is not to be trifled with. TSK TSK tsk, Baohan, you’re the lucky one. If I had known earlier, I would have found a lawyer to marry too.”
“You’re regretting marrying me now, aren’t you?” Mrs. Zhao came over and grabbed his ears.
“Honey, I was just joking,” Judge Zhao pleaded with a sad face.
Xu Baohan smiled faintly.
In the end, Father Zhao poured quite a bit of white wine into his mouth. At 10:40, he finally found an excuse to leave. He called An Lan, his tone slightly tipsy. “I’m drunk…”
“Then do you know who I am?” An Lan asked.
Xu Baohan lifted his lips and said hoa.r.s.ely, “My wife.”
“Looks like you’re really drunk.” An Lan laughed softly. “Don’t drive, take a taxi home.”
Xu Baohan smiled. “Shouldn’t you be telling me to wait here, so you can drive over immediately to pick me up?”
“Judge Xu, you must have been spoiled by me recently,” An Lan laughed snappily. “I should be the one saying such things, alright?”
“Men are human too, there will be times when they will be vulnerable,” Xu Baohan said calmly.
“I think you’re quite strong,” An Lan said bluntly. “Aren’t you just drunk? Haven’t you been drunk before when you weren’t with me? You can go back the same way you went back in the past, stop being so clingy.”
Xu Baohan choked to death. After a long while, he said dejectedly, “We haven’t been together for two days.”
“I’m still busy,” An Lan said. “The opening is about to start, and there are still some SOPs that haven’t been perfected. I have to help, you should go to bed early.”
“You… aren’t with Xuan Yuanlang, right?” Xu Baohan asked.
“He didn’t come to Xia city, he has a lot of things to attend to,” An Lan said with an annoyed smile.
“Ok.”
After hanging up, Xu Baohan took a taxi back to his house.
On the way back, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach.
Maybe he had drunk too much earlier.
He held his phone and wanted to call An Lan, but he held back in the end.
However, this thought made the corners of his mouth twitch helplessly. As a man, he seemed to be acting clingy recently.
He still couldn’t let himself become as clingy as Nian Junting.
