Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Those eyes were too charming, and his voice was too intoxicated.

An Lan thought that if she hadn’t met Xu Baohan, she would have seriously considered it, but now…

“I don’t think so,” she said apologetically.

Xuan Yuanlang nodded. “You’re not young anymore, will you get married?”

“I don’t know, if there aren’t any accidents, I think so,” An Lan said honestly.

“Alright, then I wish you the best.” Xuan Yuanlang raised his glass.

An Lan paused for a moment, then realized that at Xuan Yuanlang’s level, he didn’t need to pester women anymore. Besides, he only said that he liked her back then. It had been so long, how much could he still like her. It was just a little regret from his youth, just like how she used to like Nian Junting, but now he was gone.

“Thank you.”

After clinking cups with him, An Lan finished her drink and found that a cocktail was gone. “It’s really delicious. It seems that you’re a regular customer here.”

“I guess so. You can see Victoria Harbor from here, and it’s not some internet-famous bar. Sometimes, I come here if things get too stressful.” Xuan Yuanlang asked the bartender to refill another glass for her.

After the two of them talked things out, they weren’t so reserved anymore. They got along with each other easily and happily. Unknowingly, they started talking about the things that happened in college. They also talked about the changes of some people that they knew when they were studying in America. Then, they talked about the business world, they talked about the law.

An Lan found that Xuan Yuanlang was indeed a man who was famous in the business world. He was well-informed and humorous. He wasn’t like Nian Junting. Sometimes, she wanted to expand her horizons by talking to him. She could talk him to death in just three sentences.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, she had seen more than 12 kinds of wine. Zhang Kelin came to her with a hint of drunkenness and said, “Friend, it’s time to go back. We have an early meeting tomorrow.”

“It’s late,” Xuan Yuanlang looked at his watch and said, “I’ll meet you in the conference room at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“Let’s talk next time,” An Lan got down from the high chair. She didn’t realize that she was sitting there, but when she landed on the ground, she realized that her legs were weak and her head was dizzy. Xuan Yuanlang quickly helped her stand up.

“Haha, I forgot to tell you. Although the wine I recommended is delicious, it’s a little intoxicating.” Xuan Yuanlang gently handed her to Zhang Kelin.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” An Lan glared at him before returning to the hotel shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Kelin and the other two female drunkards.

The general manager, Cao Zirui, looked at them worriedly. “Hey, are the two of you really okay? Don’t fall to your deaths together. I still need the two of you at the meeting tomorrow.”

“F * ck off, jinx,” Zhang Kelin turned and gave her a kick. “I can even drink ten more bottles of beer.”

..

Back at the hotel.

An Lan took a casual shower and went to sleep after lying down.

The next day, she was still woken up by the phone. She placed her phone by her ear and stretched her body in a daze. “Hello…”

“What time is it? Are you still sleeping? Did you stay up late last night?”Xu Baohan’s voice was mixed with the sound of the radio in the car.

“Erm…” An Lan suddenly remembered that she had told him yesterday that she was going to go shopping, but then she went to a bar.

As an experienced cadre, if he knew that she was going to a bar, he would definitely be jealous again, so he simply lied. “Yes, I stayed up late.”

“What did you buy?”

“Just cosmetics, bags and so on,” An Lan answered vaguely.

Xu Baohan was silent for a moment before asking, “Then why didn’t my card receive any information about the transaction, not a single one.”
