2046: You Are Beyond Rich

You Are Beyond Rich

Xu Baohan paused. "Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore, but I will marry An Lan no matter what you said."0

After hanging up, Xu Baohan stared at the dumplings on the chopping board and guilt filled his mind. He then called An Lan apologetically, "My dad went to see you at the law firm?"

"Ya." An Lan guessed that Xu Jinfei must have spoken ill of her, so she told him the truth right away. "Your dad was very rude to me, so I wasn't polite to him either."

"I knew it." Xu Baohan chuckled. "You did well."

An Lan knew that he would stand on her side, but when she heard him say that, she heaved a sigh of relief, "Actually, I did it wasn't entirely just for myself. I felt that your father was too selfish, even towards you. He didn't behave like a father at all, he only thought about himself."

There were some things that she didn't want to say it too directly, she worried that it might hurt Xu Baohan's feelings.

"Yes, I know. Fortunately, I have a wife who loves me now." Xu Baohan replied jokingly.

An Lan humphed and said bluntly, "Your father's matters aren't done yet. And I haven't agreed to be your wife, so don't call me that."

"That's his matters, not mine." Seemed like Xu Baohan wished to get rid of it, "He wants me to marry a rich girl. But he doesn't know that Lawyer An is not only rich, but far more than that. Do I need to beat around the bush? Besides, you said that my living is on you, and a lawyer's words carry weight."

An Lan clicked her tongue. "Chief Judge Xu, you are so shameless! But I am indeed not as rich as your ex-girlfriend who is from Zhuang Da."

"Hey hey hey. Wrong! Her money belongs to her parents, but your money belongs to you, so you are definitely richer," Xu Baohan replied calmly. "Besides, her parents are old and their abilities are limited, but Lawyer An is younger than me, and she has a bright future ahead of her."

"Mmm, not bad. As a classmate of Mr Nian, you know how to make long-term investments." An Lan nodded with a smile.

"Lawyer An, anyway, I'm depending on you for the rest of my life." Xu Baohan chuckled. "I've made dumplings for you. Come back earlier tonight, wifey."

The last sentence was gentle and affectionate.

An Lan felt that her face was burning due to shyness.

...

Recently, Xu Baohan was on leave. With him at home, An Lan found that home was always a safe and warm place no matter how tired she was from work every day.

In the past, when she returned to home, it was always empty, cold and cheerless. Now when she was home, what welcomed her were hot dishes and cut fruits. Sometimes, Xu Baohan even washer her clothes and prepared her favourite snacks.

That night, when An Lan returned from a meeting in Shengting, she told Xu Baohan expectantly, "How many days off you guys are having for the New Year this year? Why don't we spend the New Year in Tokyo? I heard the Nian family will spend their New Year abroad too. I think it would be nice if we spend it together, since both of us don't have a good relationship with our parents."

Xu Baohan was eating when he heard her. He frowned and put down his chopsticks in a serious manner, saying, "I don't think the Japanese country culture fits our Chinese New Year culture."

"Err... that makes sense." An Lan nodded seriously. "Then what about Australia? It will be summer there right?"

Xu Baohan's brows were still tightly furrowed. "Not very interested..."

An Lan rubbed her forehead. "Bro, we can't possibly going to Pakistan, right?"

Xu Baohan smiled. "Lawyer An is quite familiar with international news."

"After knowing you, I have to know a little," An Lan lamented.
