Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

On the fourth day, after returning to Xia City, Xu Baohan made another trip to the hospital. Although the doctor had removed his neck brace, he said that his neck had not recovered yet, so he still needed to rest well.

An Lan felt that he could take care of himself, so she suggested going back to work. After all, she had already rested for a week.

“So from today onwards, I have to fend for myself?” Xu Baohan felt like he had been abandoned.

“Yes.” An Lan nodded impolitely. “I don’t have annual leave like you do in your company. We work when we have a case, and if we don’t have a case, we look for a case. Furthermore, there are only three lawyers in the law firm.”

Xu Baohan did not force her. “Then it’s not good for you to travel back and forth to work. I’ll move to your place.”

“…”

“Do you really have the heart to leave a patient like me behind?” Xu Baohan said confidently. “Or do you want to wake up an hour earlier every morning to go to work?”

An Lan fell silent. After a moment, she pretended to be serious and said, “When I was dating you, I should have thought about geographical issues. Our jobs are too far apart, so it’s not really suitable.”

Xu Baohan chuckled. “That’s true. Your criteria for choosing a boyfriend should be in your area, then you might not be able to get married in your lifetime.”

An Lan raised her eyebrows and glared at him.

Xu Baohan chose a comfortable spot on the sofa and leaned against it, “When you look around the world to find a boyfriend, you stay single until 29. So when you narrow your selection to only your area, then you’ve to remain single until 99. Of course, the 99 I’m talking about is the day you close your eyes.”

It meant that she wouldn’t be able to find a boyfriend on the day she closed her eyes.

An Lan was so angry that she laughed and pounced on him.

Xu Baohan grabbed her hands and struggled. “I’m a patient.”

“Fine, I won’t touch your neck,” An Lan sneered and bit his face.

After biting, she left a few bite marks and smiled proudly. “You have to understand what’s good about lawyers. They’re good at talking and their teeth are good too.”

Xu Baohan’s eyes shone with affection. “You can’t treat me like this. I just praised you.”

“What did you praise me for? You’re insulting me with every word.” An LAN poked him in the chest. “You’re becoming proud and arrogant just because you’re being favored now, aren’t you?”

“I praised you for your longevity.” Xu Baohan blinked.

“What longevity? Everyone else boasts of a long life of 100 years old, but you let me die at the 99th. You did this on purpose, right?” An Lan impolitely left another symmetrical bite mark on his other cheek.

…

The next day, when Su Run and Secretary Wu came to report to Xu Baohan about a rather troublesome case that he had previously handled, they were stunned when they saw the funny bite mark on his face. They tried their best not to burst into laughter. “Chief Judge Xu, your face…”

“My girlfriend bit me.” Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and curled his lips. He was not in a bad mood, nor was he embarrassed. “If you have something to say, say it. Hurry up, I’m moving to An Lan’s place in a while.”

Su Run and Secretary Wu felt that there was a sense of pride in his calm voice.

The two of them wanted to look down on him. You’re already an adult, yet you’re only moving in with your girlfriend. Didn’t you feel embarrassed? One of them was already married, while the other had moved in with his girlfriend after university.

…

An Lan and Zhao Gui arranged to meet in a high-end private chamber in a cafe.

On Monday, An Lan brought not only Yan Wen, but also a security guard from the law firm. He was a retired soldier, tall and strong.
