An LAN glanced at the road, wondering if she should take a taxi back.

She turned and met Xu Baohan’s bottomless eyes, which reminded her of a blackhole that could suck people in.

She composed herself and quickly said, “Chief Judge Xu, thank you so much for helping me today.”

Xu Baohan’s lips moved slightly. An Lan thought he was going to ask her to treat him to a meal again, so she quickly interrupted him, “You don’t have to say it. I will definitely treat you to a meal.”

“…”

Xu Baohan’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile. Actually, he hadn’t wanted to ask her to treat him to a meal, but since she had said it, he definitely wouldn’t refuse.

“It’s cold.” He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Standing before her, his tall figure blocked the wind for her.

An Lan was considered tall, but when she stood next to him, she looked very petite.

At that moment, she felt the surrounding air seemed become thinner because of his presence.

An Lan was dazed for a while before she turned back to look at the suit jacket, recalling what Li Shuang and Cao Meng had said to her.

Xu Baohan was interested in her.

This realization made her heart tremble.

“Em… Chief Judge Xu, do you…like me?” An Lan raised her head. She didn’t like to beat around the bush.

“HMM?” Xu Baohan was stunned.

Like her?

He hadn’t really thought about it.

He just felt that if they were to get married in the future, An Lan would be a good wife, and she was also very different. It would be nice to be with her.

“You’re not even sure that you like me or not?” An Lan saw the hesitation in his eyes and suddenly smiled.

“Didn’t we have a blind date?” Xu Baohan suddenly said, “I’m quite satisfied with the result of that blind date.”

An Lan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “So you just think that I’m a suitable partner for marriage, right?”

“Do you think I am a suitable partner for marriage?” Xu Baohan asked back.

“No, you’re not,” An Lan answered honestly.

Xu Baohan said, “… I am.”

An Lan rolled her eyes.

Xu Baohan said seriously, “I think I’m pretty good-looking, and I’m 1.85 meters tall. When you’re tired, I’ll get you water and massage your shoulders. If you want me to go east, as long as it’s not a matter of principle, I will listen to you. Marrying into your family means that the children will have your surname, and it doesn’t matter to me since I don’t care about carrying on the family line. It’s your decision when we’ll have children. I will definitely not cheat on you, and I will also give you my paychecks each month.”

“…”

An Lan looked at him blankly as he spoke, finding that what he said was very familiar. She suddenly remembered these were the requirements she had said to trick Chen Ke during the dinner. He had memorized them.

“As for you staying out late, I think you should go home early if it’s not necessary for work or social events. It’s not safe outside, but I will accompany you. As to one-night stand, I think we should be faithful to each other as husband and wife.” Xu Baohan said as he looked at her quietly, “What do you think?”

An Lan: “…”

What the heck?

“That… Didn’t you say you’d give no monetary gift for your future wife, and she needs to have an apartment; your wedding can only be held in a three-star hotel, and there’ll be no honeymoon, and your wife must give you her paychecks every month?” An Lan suddenly remembered it.

Xu Baohan’s expression darkened when he heard that. “Who told you that?”

An Lan coughed lightly. “Chief Judge Xu, we are honest citizens, so we must not trick people into marrying us, right? Do you plan to conceal your true colors until you get married? That’s immoral.”
