nXu Baohan was quite satisfied with what he heard.

nAlthough he knew that this woman was evil, he didn’t expect her to be so evil.

n

n

nHowever, when he heard the last part, he felt that something wasn’t right. He frowned. “The back part was a little unnecessary.”

n“Didn’t you waste your time to this day because of your work?” An Lan asked with a smile. “Could it be that you were hurt by your ex-girlfriend, hurt by love, and didn’t have the heart to fall in love, so you wasted your time until now?”

n“…”

nEven though the heater was turned on in the room, Xu Baohan somehow felt a little cold.

n

n

n“Indeed, I’ve been wasting my time for work.” He had no choice but to praise her. “What you said made sense.”

n“Right, sit down obediently, I’ll go buy you breakfast.” An Lan patted his furry head and turned to leave with a smile on her face.

nAfter she left, Xu Baohan’s hands touched the spot she had touched earlier.

nHe didn’t expect for a man like himself to have times where he was afraid of a woman.

n

n

nBut what was even weirder was that he didn’t resist at all. He seemed to be enjoying himself.

nHmmm, it was good to be controlled like this.

nHe didn’t realize that there was an invisible leash around his neck.

nOn the way to buy breakfast, An Lan called Li Yuchen. “I need to rest for a few days. I’ll have to trouble you and Lawyer Ma with my work for now.”

n“That’s not a problem. Since there’s no open a court session, you can take care of Chief Judge Xu.” Li Yuchen sighed. “After reading the news yesterday, I was scared to death. It wasn’t easy for you to find a boyfriend, and I thought you had to change one again…”

n“Shut up.” An Lan snorted. “Can you put it nicely?”

n

n

n“Okay, then say something nice.” Li Yuchen grinned and said, “It’s rare for you to take care of a patient, so you have to make some food for him. Don’t order takeout every day. The food outside is not clean. You have to let Chief Judge Xu feel the warmth and kindness of your family.”

nAn Lan chuckled. “I’m sorry, my way has never been warm and virtuous.”

n“This is a special time!” Li Yuchen said, “a man’s heart is at its weakest at this moment. No matter how strong Chief Judge Xu is, he’s still a man.”

n“…”

nAn Lan frowned as she looked at the noodles handed over by the boss.

nNot long after breakfast, Lu Kang came over with a bunch of gifts. “Mr Nian went out of town, and the Madam has been busy with her voice acting. She’s really busy, so she asked me to come over. This is the gift that the boss told me to prepare.”

nAn Lan glanced at them. They were all tonics, but they were from Nian Junting, so they must be very expensive.

nLu Kang braced himself and introduced them, “Lawyer An, these medicines are all rich in herbs. Put a pack in when you boil soup. They are very beneficial for brain, liver, kidney, and blood circulation.”

n

n

nXu Baohan said coldly, “Thank you, my liver, kidney, and blood circulation are all fine.”

nLu Kang smiled. “Our Mr Nian said that you have to work overtime all year round, now that you have a girlfriend, it is especially important for you to replenish your energy.”

nActually, that wasn’t what Mr Nian said at all. He said that Xu Baohan had been idling for so long, he must have been rusty.

nLu Kang was just afraid that he would beat him up so he put the words in a nicer way.

n“…”

nAn Lan rubbed her forehead. “Urm… Lu Kang, it’s getting late. I see that you’re usually very busy, go back quickly.”

n“Okay.” Lu Kang was also afraid that Judge Xu would jump out of bed to beat him up despite his injuries, so he quickly ran away.

nThere was a strange silence in the air, and Xu Baohan raised his head with a cold expression. “I have no issues at all.”
