An Lan:”…”
Who was the one who had said with certainty a moment ago that those who worked in the legal profession are supposed to be atheists.
Why was it that in the blink of an eye, they truly became at odds with each other?
“Do you… have no sense of shame?” An Lan couldn’t refrain from asking from the bottom of her heart.
Xu Baohan did not reply but instead asking with a smile, “Do you want us to be in the same court?”
“…”
An Lan choked at once. Honestly, she didn’t want to be in the same court with him.
“Actually, it’s at my wish.” Xu Baohan shrugged coolly. “I would like to see you in court, especially when you lost a case and would have to put on a brave face…”
“Forget it.” An Lan glared at him grumpily. “Let me bring you to pray for your good marriage.”
“Thank you.”
Xu Baohan smiled and followed her unhurriedly.
The whole party walked into the temple and each of them worshipped the Buddha. An Lan kowtowed three times and made a wish before getting up. Xu Baohan who had made a wish and stood behind her, asking. “What did you wish for?”
“The same as what you wished for when you just arrived. I wish for wealth and wellbeing,” An Lan replied as she was walking, appreciating the scenery in the temple.
“That was not true.” Xu Baohan followed beside her composedly. “I believe what you were praying for was… for your younger sister to recover as soon as possible, to mend her ways and to turn over a new leaf.”
An Lan’s froze in her tracks as she turned to look at him resignedly. He was so smart that occasionally it was annoying.
Xu Baohan smiled calmly. “An Lan, I could guess it correctly because I understand you. You are a good sister and a good daughter. The others could not guess it correctly because they did not understand you.”
An Lan was speechless. Initially, she was a little unhappy that he was able to guess it correctly what was on her mind, but when she heard him spoke it out, she felt a thread of warmth flew into her heart.
He truly understood her.
This was the first time she met a man who genuinely understood her.
There was nothing wrong with it.
After everyone had finished worshipping, they started to take photos on the mountain. An Lan, Ma Shuanghua and the rest of them got together to take photos. Xu Baohan was not familiar with them, so he stood aside and watched quietly.
When the staff of the law firm were taking group photos, Xu Baohan took the initiative to be their photographer.
After they had taken the photos, Li Yuchen suggested, “Ms An, do you want to take a photo with Chief Judge Xu? I’ll take it for both of you.”
Before An Lan could reply, Xu Baohan had handed his phone to Li Yuchen. “Thank you.”
He walked straight to An Lan and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
Li Yuchen took a few photos and handed them to Xu Baohan. Xu Baohan appreciated the photos for a moment before forwarding them to An Lan. An Lan opened the photos and saw that in the background of the sky-blue mountain fog, there was a contrast between them. She looked fair and he looked darker. The corners of his eyes were filled with a faint smile and her lips were slightly curved. They looked like a perfect couple.
“Look.” Xu Baohan clicked on his phone and his lock screen changed to the photo that both of them had just taken.
“You…”An Lan blushed. “Without the consent of the licensor, this is considered as a copyright infringement.”
“It was taken with my phone and I was also in the photo. How could it be considered as a copyright infringement? Furthermore, I didn’t use it in public. It was only stored on my own phone.” Xu Baohan curled his thin lips. “Ms An, don’t bully me although I’m just a judge.”
An Lan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Who dare to bully him since he is a judge.
..
At 2 pm, they were having lunch at a farm on the mountain.
After they had taken their lunch, they were prepared to make their way down the mountain. They took the cable car and there was a lot of people, bustling with activities.
After lining up to board the cable car, Xu Baohan brought An Lan straight to a corner of the cable car. Before long, the cable car was fully packed. Xu Baohan used his body to protect An Lan from being squeezed by others. Being protected, An Lan was very comfortable.
