Xu Baohan stared at her with a worried expression and suggested, âWhat about Russia?â
âNo way,â An Lan said firmly. âIâve been there before. The scenery was average, and the winter was too cold for me. Hmm...Letâs go to Switzerland, we can ski there.â
Xu Baohan smiled. âArenât you afraid of the cold if you go skiing in Switzerland?â
âBro, you even have an issue with Switzerland?â An Lan looked at him unbelievably.
Xu Baohan looked at her for a while before nodding. âChill... Alright alright, letâs go to Switzerland.â
An Lan was finally satisfied. If he rejected her idea again, she would never go on a trip with him anymore. âSince you have time tomorrow, go and get your visa.â
âSo soon?â
âIâll book the plane tickets later.â
Xu Baohan was surprised. âArenât we joining a tour group?â
Switzerland was so far away. All this while, he travelled to Europe in a tour group.
An Lan looked at him unbelievably again, âOMG, youâre really old-fashioned. Both of us speak English, why would we want to go with a tour group? Besides, I have been to Europe several times. Mr. Xu, you sounded like a middle-aged man, do you know that?â
Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. âWell, a middle-aged man canât perform that well at nights.â
An Lan rolled her eyes at him in embarrassment. âHey, mind your words. Donât try to deflect from the topic.â
Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips into a straight line. âItâs just that I rarely go abroad, and Iâve never not followed a tour group to such distant places.â
âI understand.â An Lan held back her laughter and patted the back of his hand. âNo worries, let Sister An bring you to travel all over the world.â
âSister An? I think you need to be taught a lesson.â
Seeing the ridicule in her eyes, Xu Baohan stood up and walked towards An Lan.
An Lan sensed the âdangerâ and stopped eating. She turned around and wanted to run, but she was caught by Xu Baohan immediately.
âXu Baohan, donât you dare to...â
He kissed her without waiting for her to finish her sentence.
In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with love.
...
Xu Jinfei and Zhuang Wanling went to Xu Baohanâs place for him but to no avail.
Both of them had a key to his room, and they realized that Xu Baohan had not returned in a while, and half of the clothes in his wardrobe were missing.
Xu Jinfei was furious. âThis bastard must be with that woman.â
Zhuang Wanling frowned, looking rather tired. âI think... forget it. Iâve asked around. An Lan is not someone we could easily mess with. She knows a lot of people with big backgrounds. What if we really piss her off?â
âDo you think those people will take her seriously? Theyâre just using her,â Xu Jinfei interrupted her. âHer own family background is very ordinary. Her parents are both laid-off workers, and her sister is mentally ill. She doesnât have any powerful relatives.â
âDoesnât that explain why we shouldnât mess with her?â Zhuang Wanling said. âShe has no family background and she can climb to her current position at the age of not even 30. She must be really something.â
Zhuang Wanling could understand this. She had worked so hard when she was young. She knew that it was difficult to succeed in this society.
âDonât be a coward.â Xu Jinfei looked at her with disdain, âShe doesnât like us. If Baohan marries her, what would she do to us when weâre old? Sheâll encourage him to stay away from us.. Besides, if she really likes our son, she wonât dare to do anything to us.â
