The guard smiled when he saw her. âYour boyfriend is just in time. After being a guard here for so many years, this is the first time Iâve seen him personally make breakfast and send it here so early in the morning.â
An Lan took the breakfast from the guard and opened the paper bag to take a look. The thermos flask was filled with piping hot eight-treasure porridge. There were also grilled ham and cheese toast, corn soup, dumplings and fried rice cake, all of which were her favorites.
These breakfasts were actually not what Xu Baohan was good at in the past. It was because after the two of them got together, he knew that he had picked up her preferences bit by bit, especially the rice cake, which was all made by him personally.
It was in those little moments that her heart was slowly softened by him.
She suddenly felt a little frustrated. Why was her heart always so soft? This time, she definitely couldnât let it go so easily. She had to crush Zhuang Tianya into pieces.
When she was about to go to work at 8:30, Xu Baohan called. She didnât pick up, but he refused to give up. He had no choice, so he picked up.
Xu Baohan didnât complain over the phone. He only asked, âHave you eaten breakfast?â
âNo, I threw it in the trash can.â An Lan suddenly regretted her words. Wasnât she calling her stomach a trash can.
âAn Lan, those are all your favorite foods. Thereâs no need to be so mean to your stomach,â Xu Baohan said. âWhen are you moving back today? Iâll help you move your things.â
âI donât have anything, I can handle it myself,â An Lan mocked. âIâm not a fragile woman like your ex-girlfriend. Iâm a strong woman who can wake up immediately after fainting on the ground.â
Xu Baohan had a headache and had no choice but to change the topic. âWhat do you want to eat tonight? Iâll make it for you.â
âWhy didnât you answer my question?â An Lan continued to be sarcastic. âDo you think what I said makes sense?â
Xu Baohan felt a headache coming. âAn Lan, I think you are trying to pick a fight with me now.â
âYouâre right, Iâm angry when I hear your voice.â An Lan was also very depressed. She was not a person who could easily lose control of her emotions, but now, she was completely disrupted by this person.
âYou can be angry with me, but donât be angry with yourself.â Xu Baohan rubbed his temples and finally said helplessly, âAn Lan, why donât we meet up with Zhuang Tianya? Iâll explain everything to her in front of her.â
âWhat are you talking about? Youâre making it sound like I really care about her existence. Even though thatâs the truth, Zhuang Tianya might be very pleased when she finds out.â
An Lan said exasperatedly, âA woman like her doesnât even have the right to be my opponent, let alone have a face-to-face conversation with me. Itâs embarrassing to think that a woman like her would actually become my love rival. Please, even if you find me a love rival, can you find someone prettier, better at earning money, or better than me? If you donât have any of those, where can I put my face?â
âYes, yes, itâs my fault, my taste is too bad,â Xu Baohan agreed, âThereâs nothing I can do, sheâs too ordinary, but youâre unique, she can be replaced, but youâre irreplaceable, I really canât find a love rival thatâs on par with you, Iâm too useless, I should die for making you lose face, Lawyer An.â
An Lan felt like she had punched a piece of cotton. It was both funny and annoying. âAlright, Iâm too lazy to waste my life with you. My time is very precious. As for you, youâre not as precious as a minute of my time.â
She hung up right after that.
Xu Baohan looked at the end of the call.. He looked up and saw Su Run standing at the door with a strange expression.
