Chapter 1914 - No Money, No People
An old man in his sixties was lying beside them. After hearing their conversation, he sighed with envy. “Young chad, your wife is really considerate and generous.”
Xu Baohan blushed and glanced at the embarrassed An Lan before explaining in a low voice, “she’s not my wife, she’s my girlfriend.”
“It’s true, she treats you so well even when she is just your girlfriend.” The old man nodded. “Then you have to cherish her and marry her as soon as possible. Look at my wife, I’ve been hospitalised for so long and she only knows how to cook vegetables and stew soup every time. I’m sick of it. Doesn’t she know that there are still takeout in this world?”
“…”
An Lan felt a little guilty. Actually, eating too much takeout wasn’t good for health.
Xu Baohan didn’t seem to mind. He turned around and asked An Lan, “how much is it? And the medicine just now too.”
“Forget it, it’s not much, don’t give it to me.” An Lan waved her hand. There was no need to calculate such a small amount of money so clearly.
“I didn’t say I was going to give it to you,” Xu Baohan said calmly.
An Lan:”…”
Could this boyfriend speak nicely.
Xu Baohan smiled. “But from now on, you can keep my card, I will give you the password to my Alipay account, you can buy whatever you want.”
An Lan raised her eyebrows. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away with your money?”
“I don’t believe,” Xu Baohan replied calmly. “I can report you, you’ll be arrested regardless of where you go. I know the law well.”
An Lan’s lips twitched. “A judge is really someone you can’t afford to offend.”
“As long as you take me away, you can take however amount of money you want.” Xu Baohan stared into her eyes. “But you can’t just take the money and not take the person.”
An Lan burst into laughter. “You’re still in the mood to joke around? Are you really having a concussion?”
“I have a headache, I’m nauseous, and have the urge to throw up.” Xu Baohan pursed his pale lips. “It’s just that I can withstand pressure well. Do you think I fell from the twelfth floor for nothing?”
An Lan sighed, “Don’t take such risks next time. It’s not like you can be completely safe with an air cushion. There are even people who fall to their deaths when they bounce off the cushion. Chief Judge Xu, it’s not easy for me to find a boyfriend who is so perfect at the age of 29. If you still take such risks next time, I… I will consider passing you off.”
Xu Baohan’s face darkened when he heard that.
An Lan patted the back of his hand, “Baohan, I’m not as strong as you think. I don’t want to be a widow in the future. I think everyone should think more about the people around them. Have you ever thought that if we were to get married in the future and I had a child, but you die because you were trying to save someone? I wouldn’t think of you as a great person. I don’t have such noble sentiments. You will leave behind a good name, but you never spare a thought for the people you leave behind. That’s why I don’t want you to take any risks and I don’t want to go through this kind of pain. After all, I don’t want a hero.”
“Hero?” Xu Baohan smiled bitterly. “You’re thinking too much. I just feel that if something were to happen to Zhao Gui on the rooftop today, I would be investigated or even suspended. There were so many reporters at the scene. Even if I was honest and magnanimous in my heart, there would always be people who would come and challenge me and cause trouble. They could easily ruin my life. I can’t lose my job now. If I lose my job, how can I get married?”
An Lan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was still thinking about marrying a wife given that situation.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
For the first time, Nian Junting called her. After picking up the phone, he wasn’t in a hurry to speak. Instead, he was silent for a while before asking in a low voice, “An Lan, I saw the news that Xu Baohan fell down from the building. Is he still alive?”
