An old man in his sixties was lying beside them. After hearing their conversation, he sighed with envy. âYoung chad, your wife is really considerate and generous.â
Xu Baohan blushed and glanced at the embarrassed An Lan before explaining in a low voice, âsheâs not my wife, sheâs my girlfriend.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs true, she treats you so well even when she is just your girlfriend.â The old man nodded. âThen you have to cherish her and marry her as soon as possible. Look at my wife, Iâve been hospitalised for so long and she only knows how to cook vegetables and stew soup every time. Iâm sick of it. Doesnât she know that there are still takeout in this world?â
â...â
An Lan felt a little guilty. Actually, eating too much takeout wasnât good for health.
Xu Baohan didnât seem to mind. He turned around and asked An Lan, âhow much is it? And the medicine just now too.â
âForget it, itâs not much, donât give it to me.â An Lan waved her hand. There was no need to calculate such a small amount of money so clearly.
âI didnât say I was going to give it to you,â Xu Baohan said calmly.
An Lan:â...â
Could this boyfriend speak nicely.
Xu Baohan smiled. âBut from now on, you can keep my card, I will give you the password to my Alipay account, you can buy whatever you want.â
An Lan raised her eyebrows. âArenât you afraid that Iâll run away with your money?â
âI donât believe,â Xu Baohan replied calmly. âI can report you, youâll be arrested regardless of where you go. I know the law well.â
An Lanâs lips twitched. âA judge is really someone you canât afford to offend.â
âAs long as you take me away, you can take however amount of money you want.â Xu Baohan stared into her eyes. âBut you canât just take the money and not take the person.â
An Lan burst into laughter. âYouâre still in the mood to joke around? Are you really having a concussion?â
âI have a headache, Iâm nauseous, and have the urge to throw up.â Xu Baohan pursed his pale lips. âItâs just that I can withstand pressure well. Do you think I fell from the twelfth floor for nothing?â
An Lan sighed, âDonât take such risks next time. Itâs not like you can be completely safe with an air cushion. There are even people who fall to their deaths when they bounce off the cushion. Chief Judge Xu, itâs not easy for me to find a boyfriend who is so perfect at the age of 29. If you still take such risks next time, I... I will consider passing you off.â
Xu Baohanâs face darkened when he heard that.
An Lan patted the back of his hand, âBaohan, Iâm not as strong as you think. I donât want to be a widow in the future. I think everyone should think more about the people around them. Have you ever thought that if we were to get married in the future and I had a child, but you die because you were trying to save someone? I wouldnât think of you as a great person. I donât have such noble sentiments. You will leave behind a good name, but you never spare a thought for the people you leave behind. Thatâs why I donât want you to take any risks and I donât want to go through this kind of pain. After all, I donât want a hero.â
âHero?â Xu Baohan smiled bitterly. âYouâre thinking too much. I just feel that if something were to happen to Zhao Gui on the rooftop today, I would be investigated or even suspended. There were so many reporters at the scene. Even if I was honest and magnanimous in my heart, there would always be people who would come and challenge me and cause trouble. They could easily ruin my life. I canât lose my job now. If I lose my job, how can I get married?â
An Lan didnât know whether to laugh or cry. He was still thinking about marrying a wife given that situation.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
For the first time, Nian Junting called her. After picking up the phone, he wasnât in a hurry to speak. Instead, he was silent for a while before asking in a low voice, âAn Lan, I saw the news that Xu Baohan fell down from the building. Is he still alive?â
