Su Run coughed lightly and really wanted to ask, “Chief Judge, are you still the chief judge that I know?”.
However, working in front of Xu Baohan, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood and was absent-minded. He was often repressed, like a wild beast that was about to go berserk at any moment.
There was nothing else that could cause him to become like this other than An Lan.
Now that he was finally able to speak to An Lan, he was glad to be even her assistant.
“Chief Judge, have you reconciled with Lawyer An?” Su Run asked with a smile.
“Yes,” Xu Baohan suddenly raised his head and said to him, “Su Run, you’ve been with me for two years. Sooner or later, you’ll be able to take care of things on your own. Do your best and share more of the burden with the court. I’m planning to apply for annual leave recently.”
Su Run was stunned. “I’ve been busy at the end of the year recently.”
“I haven’t used up my annual leave, if I don’t, it’ll be next year again.” Xu Baohan lowered his gaze and told him about his relationship for the first time. “I want to spend some time with An Lan, we’ve been too busy recently.”
“But is Lawyer An free?” Su Run wanted to cry, but he had no tears. If Xu Baohan took his leave, then wouldn’t the pressure on his work be even greater? He had lost a lot of hair recently.
“She doesn’t need to be free, I just want to accompany her.” Xu Baohan flipped through the documents, his eyes flashing with a hint of gentleness.
…
An Lan stepped into the law firm’s office. In order to avoid Xu Baohan, she had not come to the office these past few days. As soon as she entered the office, she received a call from Xuan Yuanlang.
“How was it? How did it go with your boyfriend last night?” Xuan Yuanlang’s voice sounded like he didn’t mind the commotion.
An Lan sighed. “Senior, what did you want to do last night? It’s very misleading.”
“Isn’t it good to be misunderstood?” Xuan Yuanlang smiled faintly, “From the looks of you yesterday, I guessed that there must be something wrong. No matter whose fault it is, you’re my junior, so I’ll definitely help you. I did that in the hopes that he would understand that you’re very outstanding and that there’s no lack of suitors around you. If he doesn’t know how to cherish you, you’ll soon be snatched away by others. Men need a sense of crisis. Otherwise, after being together for a long time, he might naturally think that you’re his.”
An Lan had already expected this, but when she heard him say it out loud, she felt a warmth in her heart. “Senior, thank you.”
“You should really thank me,” Xuan Yuanlang said faintly. “Your boyfriend’s grip is too strong, and it’s hurting my bones. He’s too ruthless.”
An Lan thought about the way the two of them fought last night and found it funny. “It seems like you used a lot of strength as well.”
“Why, do you feel sorry for him?” Xuan Yuanlang said with a faint smile.
“No, I just think you can use more strength.”
Xuan Yuanlang laughed. “Sure, I’ll use all my strength the next time we meet.”
The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. After all, Zhuo Cheng had a meeting in the afternoon, and An Lan would definitely be there.
…
Around three in the afternoon, just before the meeting started, An Lan’s phone rang. Xuan Yuanlang was sitting beside her when he saw the three words “Xu Baohan” appearing on the screen.
An Lan placed the phone to her ear.
Xu Baohan’s deep and gentle voice sounded. “Are you going back for dinner tonight? When are you going back? I… don’t have the keys…”
“I’m eating outside…”
Just as An Lan finished speaking, Xuan Yuanlang came over and said loudly, “Junior, what do you want to eat tonight? How about Cantonese food?”
Xu Baohan on the other end of the phone was instantly enraged. Why was it this person’s voice again? “An Lan, are you going to eat with him again tonight?”
Xuan Yuanlang continued, “Let’s go to the Hibiscus Pavilion at the side.. The roast goose there is especially delicious, you will definitely like it.”
