âCan you bring your family member?â Xu Baohan suddenly asked.
An Lan raised her teacup in surprise. âYou like this kind of occasion?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although they hadnât been together for long, she knew that he didnât like to attend the companyâs banquet.
âI donât like it, but itâs easy for a love rival to appear at a blind date or birthday banquet. I have to keep an eye on you,â Xu Baohan said softly. âAn Lan, itâs time for you to bring me out to meet people. You canât keep me in the dark all the time. I wonât feel safe...â
âPfft...â An Lan spat out a mouthful of tea.
After a long while, she came back to her senses and coughed so hard that her face turned red.
âAre you alright?â Xu Baohan asked. âDonât choke to death. If you choke to death, it wonât be easy for me to find a girlfriend.â
An Lan gritted her teeth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. âCan you not be so disgusting when you speak? A grown man who has no sense of security.â
âIâm serious,â Xu Baohan said in a serious tone. âIâm already busy with work, so I donât have much time to spend with you. I want to get to know you better.â
âAlright, Iâll put you on as a family member tomorrow,â An Lan said with a smile. âCome and pick me up tomorrow morning.â
âOkay.â
The next day, An Lan was resting. It was rare for her to sleep in, so when she was still lazing around in bed, the doorbell rang.
She opened the door and was speechless when she saw Xu Baohanâs face. âCome on, itâs only nine oâclock, why are you here so early?â
âAm I early? I usually wake up at 7 am. Iâve been dawdling at home for an hour and Iâm really bored, so I came over to look for you.â
Xu Baohan said as he sized up the dark pink velvet pajamas she was wearing. Her long hair was slightly disheveled and draped over her shoulders. The color matched her skin perfectly, it was sexy and filled with a seductive charm. âYouâre not up yet?â
âYes, itâs rare for me to have a break, Iâll definitely sleep in.â An Lan yawned. âHow boring it would be for you to rest at home without a girlfriend?â
âItâs fine, when I donât have a girlfriend, Iâll watch TV programmes and play ball with my colleagues. Itâs not a big deal, but after I have you, I want to give you all the spare time I have.â Xu Baohan lowered his head and pecked her lips.
âI didnât brush my teeth.â An Lan turned to avoid him. âCan you wait for me outside? I need to tidy myself up.â
âYou look good even if you donât tidy yourself up,â Xu Baohan blurted out.
An Lan blushed and rolled her eyes at him. âYou ate honey so early in the morning.â
âI wanted to eat it just now, but I didnât manage to.â Xu Baohan was serious.
An Lan recalled the kiss just now and her face burned. She couldnât continue. âWait for me.â
âOkay.â
Xu Baohan sat on the sofa, thinking that the words âwait for meâ could sound so nice, especially in that gentle tone. He really wanted to move the Civil Affairs Bureau over and get married at current place.
After sitting quietly for a while, Xu Baohan took out the breakfast he had bought and put them on the plates. He then turned and went to the washroom.
As soon as he entered, he saw a basket beside the washing machine. An Lanâs close-fitting clothes were inside.
His ears were red. He took them out and washed them with his hands.
An Lan came out after washing up and found that he was not in the living room. He had probably gone to the bathroom.
Just as she picked up a cup of soymilk on the table, she suddenly remembered that she was too lazy last night. She had been lazy after taking a shower and had not even washed her close-fitting clothes.
Oh dear, oh dear! If he saw her dirty clothings, would he think that she was too lazy?
An Lan rushed into the bathroom. The moment she rushed in, she wanted to dig her eyes out.
Xu Baohan was so scared that he quickly buckled his belt, his cold face flushed red from the inside out. He gritted his teeth. âAn Lan, what do you want?â
