Xu Baohan gave her a gentle smile before turning to Deng Zhicheng, “Don’t call me bro. Firstly, I’m not familiar with you. Secondly, you look more anxious than me. Thirdly, let me teach you a lesson. Don’t you know that between men and women, they can combine together to form a stronger alliance? We are that type. Furthermore, I like to be gnawed by her until I don’t even have a bone. Unlike you, you like to gnaw your own wife until she doesn’t even have a bone before you go out to cheat on her. This is the difference between you and me. I’m a human, you’re a beast.”
After that, he ignored Deng Zhicheng’s angry expression and dragged An Lan away.
An Lan looked at him with satisfaction as they walked. Today, the doctor had raised his chin, making him look very comical. At that moment, she suddenly felt that he was very handsome.
“Why are you looking at me?” Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows and caught her gaze.
An Lan reached out and touched his head. “Cute.”
Xu Baohan’s handsome face stiffened. No one would be happy if a mature man was complimented as cute.
An Lan chuckled. “You’re already in this state, I can’t compliment you as handsome, right? That would be going against my conscience.”
Xu Baohan was silent.
An Lan teased him for a while before sighing and frowning.
“You’re thinking about your friend,” Xu Baohan asked.
An Lan nodded, “She’s a very good friend when we were studying in Xia City University, we had a very good relationship. We were poor together and enjoyed ourselves together. Deng Zhicheng was the boyfriend she found after I went to study abroad at United States. After that, they got married successfully, but I didn’t expect it to end like this. They’ve only been married for three years. Oh right, you’ve met my friend before. She was with me on the 70th anniversary of Xia City University, and she’s quite pretty.”
“Oh,” Xu Baohan said plainly, “I remember there was a woman beside you, I didn’t pay attention to her beauty.”
An Lan glanced at him unhappily, he added, “Your beauty covered my eyes.”
“…”
An Lan’s angry mood was cleared away by him. “When you guys like someone, you’re so glib-tongued and say all sorts of sweet words, but in this world, there are so few good men, and some even turn bad after marriage, you…”
“Don’t drag me into this,” Xu Baohan interrupted her, “An Lan, Article 29 of the ‘
Disciplinary Regulations for Civil Servants in the Administrative Organisation’ states that civil servants who keep a mistress or abandon a family member will be given a warning, demerit or major demerit; if the circumstances are serious, they will be demoted or dismissed; if the circumstances are extremely serious, they will be expelled, as well as punishment of expulsion from the party.”
An Lan rolled her eyes at him helplessly.
Xu Baohan continued, “My salary isn’t high, and I can’t afford a mistress. Furthermore, my woman is very powerful, she’s a lawyer that can make people leave their homes with nothing, I don’t dare to offend her.”
An Lan was choked by his words for a long time and could only give him a thumbs up. “I’m convinced by your reason.”
“Thank you.” Xu Baohan smiled, “An Lan, I think it’s better if you don’t tell your friend about what happened. After all, this is her family’s business and she has a child. However, you can remind her that no matter what, she has to secure the assets and the man must not have the opportunity to transfer them. You said that the man left the house with nothing, but we all know it is difficult to do so under the law, unless the man has committed a serious crime. The law does not stipulate that a man who cheats must leave the house with nothing.”
