Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“It’s… It’s my fault for not thinking things through.” Xu Baohan swallowed his grievances. “The flowers are gone, it’s fine, I just picked out a necklace for you at the mall, I think it suits you.”

He silently took out a brocade box from his bag and opened it, there was a yellow diamond necklace inside, the yellow diamond was adorned with a gorgeous diamond-studded buckle, shining brightly under the light.

An Lan was stunned, just by looking at the design and the diamond, she knew that this necklace was not cheap.

“How much is it?” An Lan asked without thinking.

Xu Baohan was stunned, why was it different from what he had expected? “Don’t worry about how much it is, try It on first…”

“Who told you to buy this?” An Lan furrowed her brows and said gloomily, “I just went to Hong Kong and swiped a lot of money from your card, now you’re buying this necklace, let’s calculate how much you’ve spent this month, didn’t you say that you wanted to renovate the house?”

Her words were filled with reproach, but Xu Baohan’s stunned look gradually turned into a warm smile. “An Lan, are you worried that I won’t have the money to prepare for our wedding?”

“Who said I wanted to marry you?” An Lan was embarrassed and stood up angrily, “I’m just… afraid that if… If I were to marry you, you wouldn’t even have the money to renovate your house and hold a wedding banquet. When that time comes, I would have to live in your old house, I don’t want to live in an old house, in addition, I have very high expectations for my wedding and we have to go overseas for a holiday, that’s all expenses.”

The smile on Xu Baohan’s face grew wider as he watched her bared her fangs and claws, “Don’t worry, I have the money for the renovations and the wedding. That’s right, even though I’m an office worker, I’m not stupid enough to just keep the money in the bank, I have my investments too.”

He took out the necklace and put it on her neck as he walked around the desk, trying to curry favor with her, “An Lan, I was wrong, you’re right. Zhuang Tianya must have wanted to add me to her WeChat contact when she said she didn’t bring any money. How can she compare to you? You’re the one with a bad memory sometimes and I shouldn’t have compared her to you. There’s no way she can be compared to you.”

An Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise, was he so tactful? “Oh, tell me, how can I not be compared with her?”

Xu Baohan helped her fasten her necklace, then bent down and kissed her on the ear. “You’re sincere and not pretentious, she’s full of schemes.”

An Lan shrank from his kiss, she tried to calm herself and snort softly. “It’s not easy, it took you so many days to figure this out.”

“Yeah, I’m not as smart and intelligent as you,” Xu Baohan lamented. “A judge, huh? I can only close the door and see what’s going on in the court, I am short-sighted, not like our lawyer Ms An who’s so far-sighted.”

An Lan giggled and rolled her eyes. “Why do I feel like you’re mocking me?”

“Absolutely not.” Xu Baohan finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her smile.

“You really think that she’s an irrelevant person?” An Lan asked. “What if she comes back to look for you? Nothing is absolute. Look, your ex-girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend is still pestering me.”

Xu Baohan sighed, sometimes, he was quite annoyed with Zhuang Tianya and Tang Zheng. “How about… I talk to Zhuang Tianya and ask her to persuade Tang Zheng to stop pestering you?”

“How dare you?” An Lan glared at him, “You cannot even have this woman’s phone number, just let Tang Zheng be, after all, all he does was sending flowers and nothing else, there’s nothing bad about getting flowers every day, it purifies the air and I don’t have to pay for it, how great would that be? I really hope he could send flowers for the rest of his life.”
