She admitted with a flushed face, “Many agents like to beautify themselves because no one is willing to expose their ugliest side to others unless they have no other choice.”
“So… you never know someone’s true intention.” Xu Baohan’s expression was still indifferent. ” Similarly, even as a judge, I can not admit that every case I judged the real murderer was brought to justice.”
An Lan was stunned. Only then she realized he didn’t say those words to mock her.
“Don’t misunderstand me. I am saying this not because I thought Lin Hao deliberately killed his wife as you did. As a judge, I only believe in the evidence in front of me,” Xu Baohan added calmly, “If the judge didn’t follow the law’s procedures to execute the case, then there would be no need for the judge to exist.”
An Lan instantly fell silent. Indeed, everyone has their own point of view when they were facing the problem.
She couldn’t use her position as a lawyer and a prosecutor to demand Xu Baohan. It would be unfair to anyone.
“Are you explaining Lin Hao’s case to me?” A layer of confusion clouded her heart.
“No,” Xu Baohan denied, “It’s just that as a lawyer, I can sense your blind spot and ignorance in the law, so I’m giving you a lesson.”
An Lan glared at him. She was just being sarcastic, was there a need to ask that question.
She shouldn’t have stayed for dinner.
But since she had already stayed, was she going to leave like that?
She felt even if she wanted to leave, she had to make Xu Baohan half-dead before she could vent her anger.
Just then, the dishes started to be served.
The first dish was Fresh Bamboo shoots. An Lan quickly picked up her chopsticks. She just wanted to eat as fast as possible and leave, but when she picked up her chopstick and eat, the taste was indescribable.
The second dish was Squirrel Mandarin fish. It looked pretty good, but after taking a bite, An Lan couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Have you eaten here before? Are you not sincere enough to set up a blind date, so you invited me to such a terrible vegetarian restaurant on purpose ?”
Xu Baohan frowned. He agreed that the dishes were unpalatable. ” I’ve never eaten here before, but I saw this restaurant’s decor was pretty good when I was walking to work.”
An Lan said unhappily, “Have you ever been to a restaurant with a good environment when you hang out with your friends?”
“Why would I go to a restaurant with a good environment when I was with my friends?” Xu Baohan asked stiffly. “My colleagues and I usually eat at a home-cooked restaurant. Initially, I planned to meet you at a home-cooked restaurant, but Director Chen rejected it.”
An Lan:”…”
She really had to thank Director Chen. Otherwise, if it was her first blind date to go to a home-cooked restaurant that was completely devoid of romance, a woman like her who pursued a romantic quality would definitely be scared away.
But now when she thought about it, she would rather be scared away.
“You have the reason for being single up until now.” An Lan raised her teacup sincerely to toast him. “I think you will continue to be single. I wish you a lifetime of being single.”
“…”
Xu Baohan stared at her with a livid expression, his body remained constant.
An Lan suddenly felt at ease. It wasn’t a waste for her to endure the humiliation and stay. Although he didn’t want to clink his glass with her, she wasn’t embarrassed either. Just as she was about to drink, Xu Baohan suddenly raised his teacup and clinked glasses with her, “I finally understand why you’re being single too, wish you to be single until the end of the world.”
An Lan:”…”
