“How did you… know?” An Lan quickly calmed down.

She had lied to him, but she hadn’t done anything wrong to him. She was very open-minded.

“I’m not the only one who knows, many people know.” Xu Baohan’s handsome face was undisguised, revealing a gloomy expression, “You guys are already on the news. It must be interesting to eat while enjoying the Victoria scenery, isn’t it more interesting than eating at home with me?”

An Lan blinked, her scalp tingling.

She took out her phone from her bag, and Xu Baohan handed it to her. “Don’t look for the news, I have it here.”

He had been reading this since he got home, and now he could memorize the entire news. “I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.”

An Lan looked at it for a while before returning the phone to him. “Chief Judge Xu, this is not how criminals are interrogated, and I am not your prisoner.”

“Then you can defend yourself.” Xu Baohan’s thin lips were pursed in annoyance. “Did you have a good time eating and drinking with Xuan Yuanlang? Why are you laughing so much?”

“Do you think I would cry at my client?” An Lan asked calmly, “He and I weren’t the only ones going to the bar. There were also other colleagues in the company. It was also suggested by my colleagues to play in the bar. It was just a coincidence that I bumped into him because he was one of the shareholders of the B2C project. Everyone was staying in the same hotel, so it was normal to bump into him in the bar. Moreover, he happened to be my senior who was studying in the United States. At that time, we were still quite familiar with each other. After bumping into each other, we reminisced about old times. In this photo, he held onto me because I was drunk. He conveniently held onto me, and just like that, I was photographed. The next day, it was about the cooperation. Because I had successfully negotiated a good project, I was very happy. Couldn’t I be happy?”

She was eloquent. She was clearly explaining, but she gave off an aggressive vibe.

Xu Baohan thought to himself, she was indeed a lawyer, but fortunately, he was a judge, so he wasn’t at a loss and couldn’t grasp the main point. “Then why did you lie to me?”

“Because I felt that with your personality, you wouldn’t like me to go to a bar,” An Lan said honestly. “Besides, I’m out of town, I don’t want you to feel uneasy or let your imagination run wild.”

Xu Baohan furrowed his brows. Although he believed her explanation, he was still frustrated. “But if you lie to me, it’ll only make my imagination run wild.”

“Then I won’t lie anymore,” An Lan admitted that she was wrong. “Is that okay?”

Xu Baohan was stumped by her question.

He couldn’t say that he couldn’t, but he still felt uncomfortable. Maybe it was because the man she was having dinner with was too outstanding. He was also in the finance business like Nian Junting, and also a senior, she seemed to prefer this type of man.

“Your honor, aren’t you an impartial judge?” An Lan sat lazily on the suitcase, “To be honest, you’ve seen everything in court. Just based on a few photos, you’re accusing me of an affair. How did you handle the case impartially?”

Xu Baohan was angered by her accusation and laughed. “That’s why we have to avoid being related to each other in court. Because I can’t calm down, my rationality has been destroyed by you.”

“Then I’m honored.” An Lan yanked his collar and raised her head to kiss him on the lips.

Xu Baohan’s heart skipped a beat and his pupils widened in shock.
