She admitted with a flushed face, "Many agents like to beautify themselves because no one wants to expose their ugliest side to others unless they have no other choice."
"So it's hard to tell what's in a man's heart." Xu Baohan's expression was still indifferent. "Similarly, even as a judge, I can't admit that every case I adjudicate has brought the real murderer to justice."
An Lan was stunned. Only then did she realize that what he had said before was not meant to mock her.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying this because I think Lin Hao deliberately killed his wife like you do. As a judge, I only believe in the evidence in front of me," Xu Baohan added calmly. "If a judge doesn't follow the legal procedures to execute a case, then there's no need for a judge to exist."
An Lan immediately fell silent. Indeed, from everyone's point of view, the problem was different.
She couldn't use the position of a lawyer and prosecutor to ask Xu Baohan. It would be unfair to anyone.
"Are you explaining Lin Hao's case to me?" Her heart was slightly covered with a layer of confusion.
"No," Xu Baohan denied. "It's just that as a lawyer, I feel your blind spot and ignorance in the law, so I'm giving you a lesson."
An Lan glared at him fiercely. She had been too talkative just now. Was there a need to ask that question?
She shouldn't have stayed for dinner just now.
But since she had already stayed, was she going to leave just like that?
She felt that even if she wanted to leave, she would have to anger Xu Baohan to vent her anger.
Just then, the dishes began to be served.
The first dish was fresh bamboo shoots. An Lan quickly picked up the chopsticks. She just wanted to eat quickly and leave. She only picked up a chopstick, but the taste was indescribable.
The second dish was squirrel mandarin fish. It looked pretty good, but after taking a bite, An Lan really couldn't help it. "May I ask if you've ever eaten here before? Are you not sincere about the blind date, so you deliberately asked me to come to such an unpalatable vegetarian restaurant?"
Xu Baohan frowned. He admitted that the dishes were not delicious. "I've never eaten here before. I just saw this restaurant's decoration when I was walking to work."
An Lan said grumpily, "Have you never been to a restaurant with a good environment when you go out to eat with your friends?"
"Why should I go to a restaurant with a good environment with my friends?" Xu Baohan said stiffly, "I usually go to a home-cooked restaurant with my colleagues. I originally wanted to meet you at a home-cooked restaurant, but Director Chen said no."
An Lan: "…"
She really had to thank Director Chen. Otherwise, a woman like her who pursued romance would definitely be scared away if she went on a blind date to a home-cooked restaurant that had no romantic appeal at all.
But now that she thought about it, she would rather be scared away.
"There's a reason why you're single until now." An Lan raised her teacup and toasted him sincerely. "I think you'll continue to be single. I wish you the best of luck."
“”
Xu Baohan stared at her with a livid expression, his body motionless.
An Lan suddenly felt relieved. It was not in vain that she had endured the humiliation and stayed behind. However, she wasn't embarrassed that he didn't want to clink cups with her. Just as she was about to drink, Xu Baohan suddenly picked up his teacup and clinked cups with her. "I finally understand why you've been single until now. I also wish you the day the world falls apart."
An Lan: "…"
