â... I wonât feel well.â Xu Baohan suddenly coughed behind his fist, lowering his head. âAfter all, Iâm now a suitor who has high expectations for you.â
Those words seemed to pierce through the air into her heart. It didnât hurt, but it was itchy.
An Lan pinched her thigh, telling herself to calm down.
Her previous relationship failed because she had entered it without knowing the other party well. This time, she must control herself. After all, she had only had one meal with him.
Donât lose your head over sweet words and a handsome face.
âIâve heard this kind of words many times,â An Lan said with a smile. âIâve seen the world, so I always judge a person by his action.â
âOf course,â Xu Baohan nodded in agreement. âItâs still early, why donât we...watch a movie together?â
An Lan thought about it for a while. She didnât mind spending more time with Xu Baohan. âWhat movies do you like?â
Speaking of movies, the last time she saw one was two months ago with Li Shuang.
Xu Baohan looked blank. âAre there any good movies recently? I havenât been to a movie theater in three years.â
â...â
She hadnât watched a movie for two months, but he hadnât done it for three years. It seemed he was more pathetic than she was.
âThen what movies did you watch with your ex-girlfriend?â An Lan asked.
â... I donât know.â Xu Baohan frowned. âI donât remember.â
An Lan smiled. Regardless of whether this answer was true or not, she was quite satisfied. âLetâs see what movies are on recently.â
As she spoke, she turned on an app on her cell phone. Then Xiao Siâs call came in.
She had a feeling that her plans to watch a movie tonight would be ruined. After all, ever since Xiao Si fell in love, he didnât hang out with friends without a good reason.
âHello, Mr. Xiao...â
âAn Lan, have you had supper? Remember once I told you that Nuanyi and I are going to have a prenup? Today she came to my place so Iâd like you to come over and discuss about it with us,â Xiao Si said cheerfully. Obviously he was in a good mood.
âTonight?â An Lan glanced at Xu Baohan. âCanât we do it another day?â
âNo, sheâs been quite busy recently. Weâre getting married soon,â Xiao Si said in a low voice. âYouâre my lawyer, Iâm telling you, no matter what Nuanyi brings up later, you must agree. If itâs something I canât do, weâll figure out a way to deal with it later.â
â...â
Did he mean that he was willing to give Nuanyi all he had if she asked?
An Lan sighed. Good men nowadays were practically extinct, but she had met several in her life , so every time she was about to give up, sheâd think of them and find hope to continue.
âOkay, Iâll come over in a while.â
After she ended the call, Xu Baohanâs handsome face darkened with disappointment since he had heard her words. âYouâre going to stand me up?â
âNo, Iâm not going to stand you up,â An Lan said in all seriousness. âBecause we only started talking about watching a movie four or five minutes ago and we didnât even decide what we were going to watch yet.â
âYouâre going to go back on your word after standing me up?â Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow.
An LAN looked at him for a while and gave in in resignation. âI canât help it. Xiao Si is my bread and butter and one of my big clients. I must go and see him when he asks me to.â
âWhat if he wants you to go and see him on the day of our wedding?â Xu Baohanâs brows were furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly. He didnât like her using the term âbread and butterâ to describe another man.
