â...â
An Lan completely forgot about this matter.
Could it be that her lie would be exposed in less than half a minute.
âBecause... I just bought some small things yesterday. I havenât bought anything really expensive yet,â An Lan quickly said in a panic. âWhen I want to buy something expensive, Iâll definitely use your card.â
Xu Baohan said in a deep voice, â An Lan, the bag you usually use already cost more than 100,000 yuan and you consider it cheap. If you buy something expensive... could it be that you want to buy a building in Hong Kong?â
An Lan, â...â
Xu Baohan coughed softly. âIf I want to buy a building in Hong Kong, my card might not be enough. Even if you sell me away, it might not be enough.â
An Lan was speechless. After racking her brain for a long time, she finally said, âI didnât buy such an expensive bag last night. I bought it at a special price, 1,000 yuan.â
âWere your bags ever so cheap?â Xu Baohan suddenly lowered his voice. âAn Lan, are you starting to save money after getting together with me?â
âDonât let your imagination run wild. I think that bag looks pretty good,â An Lan lamented silently in her heart. She really regretted it. If she could do it all over again, she wouldnât have lied. So what if she went to a bar. If he nagged at her, then so be it.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while before Xu Baohan smiled. âAn Lan, I was joking, but it seems like this joke is a little lame. Of course, I know that you canât buy a property in Hong Kong. The price of the property is so high, itâs impossible for you to invest there.â
â...â
This joke was especially lame.
An Lan buried her face into the pillow and said gloomily, ânext time, donât joke around. Thank you, but donât worry, Iâm not a spendthrift person. I know that itâs not easy for you to earn money, I wonât spend it recklessly.â
âAn Lan, I didnât mean that,â Xu Baohan explained, stunned. âAnyways, I gave you the card, so you can spend it however you want. Although I donât have as much money as you, and Iâm just an ordinary judicial officer, Iâm willing to hand over all my money to you. I might not be able to satisfy you fully, but I know my limits.â
An Lan scratched her head. âWhy are you saying this all of a sudden? Didnât you say that you wanted me to support you? Why are you still saying this?â
âWe both know that was just a joke,â Xu Baohan said softly. âThere is disparity between us in terms of the amount of money we make and our spending power. But I donât think that I canât give you happiness, because I know what kind of happiness you are looking for.â
An Lanâs heart trembled. âAlright, then tell me what kind of happiness I want?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âA home, a soulmate,â Xu Baohanâs faint smile came through the microphone. âAn Lan, you are an independent woman. Letting a man support you is not something you would do. Otherwise, even if I liked you, my rationality would not allow me to pursue you. Because I know that even if we got together and I canât give you what you want, you wonât be happy either. I believe that my family background is alright, I have an interesting soul, and my knowledge of the law is comprehensive, which is perfect for you.â
An Lan burst out laughing. âWho cares if you have an interesting soul? Besides, is it a good thing that you have comprehensive knowledge of the law? If I find someone who is clueless of the law, should we get divorced, I can let him leave without getting any asset.â
âThatâs why it takes courage to marry a lawyer,â Xu Baohan agreed. âIf I donât enter Hell, who will go to Hell?â
âWait for me to come back and teach you a lesson,â An Lan gritted her teeth. âIâve only been away for a day, and youâre already itching for a lesson.â
âMm, hurry up and come back and teach me a lesson.â Xu Baohanâs voice was filled with a gentle smile. âIâve been itching for you to teach me a lesson.â
