After work, An Lan went straight home. The house used to be quiet and dark, but now, it was brightly lit. She was not used to the aroma of the food in the kitchen.
âYouâre back pretty late today.â Xu Baohan stood at the door in his apron, his dark eyes glistening under the lights. âBusy?â
âI am a little busy today.â An Lan threw her bag away and went into the kitchen. Just as she wanted to see what he had prepared, Xu Baohan pulled her into his arms.
âYou havenât kissed me,â he reminded her.
After that, without waiting for her to speak, he gave her a deep kiss.
An Lan took two deep breaths before reminding him, âJudge Xu, take care of your neck. The doctor said to remove your neck brace, but you still canât make any large movements. If youâre so agitated, Iâm afraid your neck will be injured again.â
âI think Iâve almost recovered. If you donât believe me... you can try something even more exciting,â Xu Baohan suggested seriously.
An Lanâs face turned red. âPlease be quiet. Youâre already so old and you still donât know your limits. Are you still a child?â
âYes, Iâm now a child who canât eat candy.â Xu Baohan kissed her again and said carefully, âAn Lan, I went to the market today and bought pork trotters.â
An Lan:â...â
If he wanted to buy pork trotters, then buy pork trotters. Why was he so afraid of her objecting? Although she doesnât like eating pork trotters, she didnât dislike people who loved eating pork trotters.
âYou should buy some duckâs neck to help your figure recover,â An Lan said gently.
âYouâre saying that Iâm a duck?â Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow. âLawyer An, how should I punish you for insulting a judicial officer?â
âI donât know, but I donât think that you will be able to sleep on the bed tonight.â An Lan smiled as she stroked his neck.
Xu Baohan was silent for a few seconds before he smiled. âYouâre right, Iâm a duck, I really should buy some duck neck to help me recover.â
â...â
Could he have some decency.
An Lan did not bother to argue with him anymore. She turned to look at the kitchen counter tonight. There were Mandarin fish, pork trotters, and cauliflower. âYou went to the market today?â
âI had nothing to do, so I went there.â Xu Baohan pushed her out. âGo out and wait, Iâll cook. Youâve been the one cooking for me lately, itâs time for me to show you my cooking skills.â
âAre you sure youâre okay?â An Lan looked worried.
âAn Lan, I use my hand to cook, not my the neck,â Xu Baohan said seriously.
An Lan let him be. She had been tired the whole day, so she went upstairs to take a shower and change into comfortable home clothes. When she came downstairs, Xu Baohan had finished cooking.
Sometimes, it is no doubt that men are more talented in cooking than women. It was no wonder that he used to put in so much effort to want to cook for her.
Then, An Lan realized that Xu Baohan really liked pork trotters, and his appetite was better than before.
âHow was work today?â Xu Baohan asked casually. âDid it go well?â
âIt didnât go well. Someone came to look for me and wasted ten minutes of my time. In the end, he didnât even pay me the money and ran away.â An Lan laughed coldly. âAt that time, my hourly salary was 4,500yuan. For ten minutes, that was 750yuan.â
Xu Baohan swallowed his food with difficulty. âDidnât you say that itâs 2,500yuan? Did your rates increase again?â
âNope. I just met a pig and wanted to extort that pig.,â An Lan said calmly. âAnd that pig is related to you.â
Xu Baohan was stunned for a moment before his expression darkened. âYouâre talking about Tang Zheng. Why did he come looking for you? You werenât bullied by him, were you?â
âWould I let him bully me?â An Lan asked.
