Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Xu Baohan did not look at her, but turned his gaze to Xu Jinfei, “Let’s talk about you again. You insisted on handing over the position of the company to the bunch of people from your Xu family who don’t have the capability to manage the company. That’s why the company’s reputation is getting worse by the day. Now, you want me to marry a woman I don’t love for them? Have I lost my mind? Are the people from the Xu family good to me? Even if they are good to me, I don’t have to be so stupid, right? If the company goes bankrupt and they lose their job, then go out and look for another one. It’s not like your Xu family is the only one in the entire country who has a job. It’s just that, to put it bluntly, if you don’t have the ability, it’s indeed difficult to find a high-paid job that can be a leader. However, the national policy is so good now. As long as you can endure hardship and work hard, you won’t starve to death. To put it bluntly, I’m not Buddha, I don’t have to step in and help your Xu family.”

Xu Jinfei did not expect him to be so blunt and curt. He was so angry that his body was trembling, and the anger in his eyes was so intense that he wanted to eat him up. “You… you heartless, cold-blooded fellow, are you speaking the human language?”

“I’m just speaking the truth.” Xu Baohan’s dark eyes flashed coldly, “I really didn’t want your money. Besides, I don’t need you to tell me who I want to marry. You have no right to control who I want to marry. I’m very busy, so I won’t accompany you.”

He slowly stood up. “I don’t think you need to come to me unless you are sick and dying in the hospital. Instead of using me to make money, why don’t you see what other assets you can to sell?”

After that, he didn’t care about his parents’ ugly expressions and went straight into his office.

Not long after, the sound of something breaking came from outside the reception room.

After a while, Su Run knocked on the door nervously and entered. “Chief Judge Xu, your parents left in a huff.”

“Yes.” Xu Baohan opened the file, his face filled with sorrow and bitterness.

…

At 10 pm, Xu Baohan dragged his tired body back to An Lan’s side.

The living room was lit up, but there was no one around. The study room was faintly lit up.

He walked over and gently pushed open the half-closed door. An Lan was dressed in light purple pajamas and was working on her desk. She was holding a pen in one hand and a document in the other. The notebook on the side was flickering with a faint light because she was too serious.., she didn’t even notice his presence.

Xu Baohan leaned against the door frame and stared at her back for a long while. It was only when An Lan used one hand to feel for the coffee cup beside her that he suddenly reminded her, “Be careful, don’t burn your hand.”

An Lan’s body trembled and she was so startled that her hand knocked over the coffee, causing the liquid to fall onto the floor.

Xu Baohan quickly went to the kitchen to get a cloth to wipe the coffee. An Lan glared at him. “When did you come back? Your sudden appearance gave me a fright. If it wasn’t for you, my coffee wouldn’t have spilled.”

“You brought the coffee yourself and didn’t even look at it. Your hand was almost in the coffee cup.” Xu Baohan knocked her head. “And what coffee do you drink at night?”

“I can’t, I need to wake up.” An Lan yawned. “It’s the end of the year and Shengting Corporation has a lot of work to sort out. If I don’t sort it out, they won’t pay me.”

“So cruel.” After wiping the floor, Xu Baohan placed his hands on the table and wrapped her and the chair in his arms. “My wife is really working hard. Do you want me to give you a massage?”

An Lan glanced at him and quickly said, “Thank you, no need. I’m very busy.. I still have a pile of documents to register.”
