Xu Baohan stared at her with a worried expression and suggested, "What about Russia?"
"No way," An Lan said firmly. "I've been there before. The scenery was average, and the winter was too cold for me. Hmm…Let's go to Switzerland, we can ski there."
Xu Baohan smiled. "Aren't you afraid of the cold if you go skiing in Switzerland?"
"Bro, you even have an issue with Switzerland?" An Lan looked at him unbelievably.
Xu Baohan looked at her for a while before nodding. "Chill… Alright alright, let's go to Switzerland."
An Lan was finally satisfied. If he rejected her idea again, she would never go on a trip with him anymore. "Since you have time tomorrow, go and get your visa."
"So soon?"
"I'll book the plane tickets later."
Xu Baohan was surprised. "Aren't we joining a tour group?"
Switzerland was so far away. All this while, he travelled to Europe in a tour group.
An Lan looked at him unbelievably again, "OMG, you're really old-fashioned. Both of us speak English, why would we want to go with a tour group? Besides, I have been to Europe several times. Mr. Xu, you sounded like a middle-aged man, do you know that?"
Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. "Well, a middle-aged man can't perform that well at nights."
An Lan rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment. "Hey, mind your words. Don't try to deflect from the topic."
Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips into a straight line. "It's just that I rarely go abroad, and I've never not followed a tour group to such distant places."
"I understand." An Lan held back her laughter and patted the back of his hand. "No worries, let Sister An bring you to travel all over the world."
"Sister An? I think you need to be taught a lesson."
Seeing the ridicule in her eyes, Xu Baohan stood up and walked towards An Lan.
An Lan sensed the "danger" and stopped eating. She turned around and wanted to run, but she was caught by Xu Baohan immediately.
"Xu Baohan, don't you dare to…"
He kissed her without waiting for her to finish her sentence.
In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with love.
…
Xu Jinfei and Zhuang Wanling went to Xu Baohan's place for him but to no avail.
Both of them had a key to his room, and they realized that Xu Baohan had not returned in a while, and half of the clothes in his wardrobe were missing.
Xu Jinfei was furious. "This bastard must be with that woman."
Zhuang Wanling frowned, looking rather tired. "I think… forget it. I've asked around. An Lan is not someone we could easily mess with. She knows a lot of people with big backgrounds. What if we really piss her off?"
"Do you think those people will take her seriously? They're just using her," Xu Jinfei interrupted her. "Her own family background is very ordinary. Her parents are both laid-off workers, and her sister is mentally ill. She doesn't have any powerful relatives."
"Doesn't that explain why we shouldn't mess with her?" Zhuang Wanling said. "She has no family background and she can climb to her current position at the age of not even 30. She must be really something."
Zhuang Wanling could understand this. She had worked so hard when she was young. She knew that it was difficult to succeed in this society.
"Don't be a coward." Xu Jinfei looked at her with disdain, "She doesn't like us. If Baohan marries her, what would she do to us when we're old? She'll encourage him to stay away from us.. Besides, if she really likes our son, she won't dare to do anything to us."
