An Lan felt that Xu Baohan would be able to remove his neck brace in a week at most, she probably wouldnât need to stay for long, so she randomly just bought some.
However, Xu Baohan didnât think so.
When An Lan was choosing a toothbrush, he chose the best one. The price made An Lanâs heart ache. âJudge Xu, we donât need to buy such a good toothbrush.â
Xu Baohan lowered his eyes and thought for a while. âIndeed, I think we can buy an electric toothbrush. The one the salesman recommended seemed pretty good.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â...â
An electric toothbrush seemed to be more expensive.
âJudge Xu, donât you understand what Iâm saying?â An Lan kindly reminded him.
âLawyer An, I canât let someone like you who frequently uses imported goods suffer,â Xu Baohan replied seriously.
An Lan and he stared at each other for a while, before finally saying in defeat, âThank you, I like to work on my own, letâs use manual.â
âLawyer An is really diligent,â Xu Baohan praised with a smile.
After choosing a towel, Xu Baohan took the liberty of choosing a large soft bath towel and a large soft towel for her. The similarity between them was that they were both expensive.
An Lan couldnât stop him. âYou really donât have to buy such an expensive one. I donât even use such expensive stuff at home.â
âMmm, then you can stay at my place.â Xu Baohan looked at her meaningfully. âIf you donât use such expensive daily necessities, they will become moldy.â
An Lan finally understood. No wonder he was choosing expensive ones for her. So that was the plan.
This cold and aloof man was really sly and cunning.
âThat makes sense. Then Iâll take them away after I take care of you,â An Lan said as she patted his waist. âIt would be a pity not to use such an expensive item after a few times.â
âYes, thatâs right. Take me along too,â Xu Baohan replied readily. âYouâve used me too. It would be a pity not to take me with you.â
An Lan was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. âWhen have I ever used you?â
Indeed, one shouldnât be so slandering.
âIâve warmed your bed.â Xu Baohan stopped and stared at her. âIâve been warming your bed at the hospital these past few days.â
âI was taking care of you, alright?â An Lan was shocked by his shamelessness. âIf it wasnât for you, I wouldnât have stayed overnight with you at the hospital. Besides, who would need you to warm bed in this weather?â
âThe air-conditioning is on in the hospital and itâs cold,â Xu Baohan continued, âAnd youâre right, youâve been taking care of me, cooking for me, peeling fruits for me and delivering meals every day. If it wasnât for you, I might have starved to death in the hospital, so when Iâm fully recovered, I have to give myself to you.â
An Lan raised her hand. âItâs not so exaggerated, itâs impossible to starve to death. There are people from the dining hall pushing food carts to deliver bento box meals at the entrance of the ward everyday, you definitely wonât starve to death.â
âNo, Iâll starve to death.â Xu Baohan lowered his head and gazed deeply at her, his lips curling into a faint smile. âThese few days, I donât want to eat anyone elseâs food besides yours, and I donât want to make do with it.â
An Lanâs heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and patted his chest impolitely. âJudge Xu, whereâs your face?â
âHere.â Xu Baohan grabbed her hand and placed it on his face.
An Lan was speechless.
As a lawyer, one would only be at a loss for words in front of a judge.
Xu Baohan looked at her defeated expression and smiled. âLawyer An, donât forget, your law firm has always lost when itâs in my court. If you want to win, there is only one place that has a chance.â
âWhich place?â An Lan was puzzled.
Xu Baohan moved closer to her and whispered two words into her ear.
