âSince youâve put it that way, Iâll accept you as my disciple.â Song Ruixue looked at An Lan with increasing satisfaction. He finally understood why Xu Baohan liked her.
His daughterâs friend, Zhuang Tianya, couldnât be said to be bad. She was pretty and pretty too, but compared to An Lan, she seemed to lack a bit of charm.
âThen arenât we brother and sister?â Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow. He didnât expect the usually arrogant Song Ruixue to admire An Lan so much, but his woman was indeed amazing.
âWhat brother? Youâre just my student,â Song Ruixue said disdainfully. âAn Lan is my proper disciple.â
Xu Baohan pursed his lips, speaking as though he was a disciple that he had picked up.
âIt seems that master likes me a little more now,â An Lan smiled and held Xu Baohanâs arm.
...
After saying goodbye to Nian Junting and Luo Sang, the two of them went straight to Song Ruixueâs villa.
Song Ruixue had accepted an apprentice and won the lawsuit today. He happily asked Madam Song to prepare a table full of delicious dishes and even called his daughter, Song Yitong, over.
At the dining table, An Lan toasted to Song Ruixue. Song Ruixue drank until his face turned red. He pulled his daughter along and said, âLet me tell you, this disciple that your father took in today is definitely better than him. Being a lawyer is like this. You have to have a bottom line and at the same time, you have to do your part. Little An has a bright future. When you need to be ruthless, be ruthless. Todayâs lawsuit was fought beautifully.â
The corner of Song Yitongâs mouth curled into an embarrassed smile. The person who could make her father admire was definitely not a good person. She was even a little worried about Zhuang Tianya. She had not heard from Zhuang Tianya recently, and she did not know where she had gone. She hoped that she could be more open-minded.
âMiss Song, hereâs to you.â An Lan raised her glass.
âHereâs to you too. Come visit us often in the future,â Song Yitong smiled. âItâs been a long time since my father admired a junior this much.â
âI will.â An Lan felt a little strange. She always felt that Song Yitong was looking at her strangely.
An Lan had a drink in the afternoon. When she returned in the afternoon, Xu Baohan drove.
After getting into the car, An Lan fell asleep not long after.
It was not until they reached the parking lot that Xu Baohan woke up after carrying her out of the car.
âWhy didnât you call me? Iâll walk by myself.â An Lan moved her body.
âNo, I want to hug you. Thank you for doing so much for me.â Xu Baohanâs gaze was so gentle that tears could drip from it.
An Lan shrugged uncomfortably. âDonât say that. If you hadnât helped me back then, I wouldnât have been schemed against by He Mingqian. All I did was to let him get what he deserved.â
âAn Lan, Iâm really happy.â Xu Baohan looked at her with a complicated gaze. âIt feels so good to be protected for the first time.â
An Lan blinked and couldnât help laughing. âChief Judge Xu, are we reading the script the wrong way around?â
After that, she tidied up his shirt collar, âNo one is protecting anyone. You invited Song Ruixue to help me, and I called Zhao Gui over for you. Baohan, itâs not that Iâm protecting you, itâs that weâre helping each other, taking care of each other and supporting each other. Furthermore, youâre mine, just like how you get angry when Iâm hurt, and I get angry when youâre hurt. The two of us together are a pair of swords, invincible in the world.â
âHMM, that makes sense.â Xu Baohanâs eyes could not hide his endless love.
After entering the elevator, he looked down at her. âI really want to keep you by my side for the rest of your life.â
âIâm already by your side now.â An Lan stood on tiptoe, her arms around his neck as her lips slowly moved closer to his.
