At the law firm.
An Lan hung up the phone and looked at the ring on her finger and her heart was filled with sweetness.
In her opinion, laws were not romantic at all. Why did she feel that these human rights were so wonderful today.
After discussing the case with her client that night, the time was still early that It was only past seven. Thinking that Xu Bohan had to work overtime tonight, she decided to drive to his court.
On the way, she bought some night snacks and brought it over.
When she reached the court, only a few lights were still on.
She greeted the concierge and went straight to Xu Bohanâs office. The door was closed and she knocked on it.
âCome in,âXu Bohanâs low and cold voice sounded.
She opened the door and entered. Xu Bohan did not turn back. He was still writing the verdict on his computer, wearing his glasses and tapping his keyboard loudly. He only replied to the person who came in, âJust help me put the printing paper on the table.â
An Lan walked over and placed the night snack on his left.
Xu Bohan frowned when he saw the snacks. âSu Run, no wonder I didnât see you. You went to buy the snacks again...â
He turned around and was stunned when he saw An Lan, âYou... Why are you here?â
âTo deliver the night snacks,âAn Lan said with a smile, âI wanted to see you on my way.â
Xu Bohan took off his glasses and a hint of gentleness flashed across his serious eyes when he looked at her. He reached out and pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her, âThis is the first time youâve taken the initiative to look for me.â
âMm, I know youâve worked hard.âAn Lan hung her arms around his neck, âDo you want to eat something before you continue working overtime?â
Xu Bohan nodded with hesitation.
An Lan did not buy anything like barbecues. After a few encounters, she could tell that Xu Bohan did not like to eat those things, so she bought some seafoodcongee, crepe pancake, dumplings and some sort.
Men usually had bigger appetites. Xu Bohan finished a bowl of seafood congee in a few seconds, but he gave the prawns to An Lan.
âDonât give them all to me, you eat them.âAn Lan fed him with the prawns.
âIâm full.âXu Bohan said.
âOpen your mouth.âAn Lan ordered without further ado.
Xu Bohan had no choice but to open his mouth and eat the prawns. He didnât know where she bought the congee, but as soon as he ate, he knew that it was definitely made from fresh prawns.
It was just a simple night meal, but it was especially heartwarming.
No matter how busy and tiring one was at work, it was always very satisfying to have someone you liked bring you a bowl of congee.
After eating, Xu Bohan hugged her and kissed her for a while before softly saying, âYou should go back first, I donât know how long Iâll be busy.â
âYou donât want me to accompany you?âAn Lan raised her eyebrows.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Bohan shook his head decisively, âUnless... you sleep at my place tonight.â
His place was right next to the courthouse, so it would be convenient for him to return home after work. However, An Lanâs house was too far away, so staying at his place at night was actually a very good decision.
âThatâs a good idea, but itâs not realistic.âAn Lan glared at him, thinking of something she shouldnât have thought of, and she was slightly embarrassed.
Xu Bohan smiled as he adjusted his glasses. He didnât say much, âGo home earlier.â
âThen donât stay too late.âAn Lan knew that it wasnât good for her to stay. With his personality, he might even send her home after work. When he arrived at home it would be 12pm with the back and forth.
âOkay.â
...
The next day, Xu Bohan was presiding over Zhao Pingâs case.
After an hour and a half of trial, Xu Bohan directly acquitted Yue and released him on the spot.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Pingâs father, Zhao Gui, grabbed a chair and rushed towards Xu Bohan, âHe killed my son, itâs alright that you didnât have him arrested, but you even want to release him. How did you handle the trial, you bastard, did you take money from Yue?â
