"We … are a good match …" Xu Baohan lowered his voice slightly, but there was a deeper meaning in his words.
An Lan was afraid that he would let his imagination run wild, so she quickly explained, "I'm talking about other people's thoughts. When other people don't know us, they think that our appearance and work unit are good and that the two of us are a good match. But in fact, we both know that our personalities are not suitable at all, and it's impossible for us to be together."
"What you said is quite contradictory," Xu Baohan thought for a while and concluded.
"No, I said it very clearly." An Lan smiled. "A smart and wise person like Chief Judge Xu will definitely understand."
"Yes, it's okay." Xu Baohan looked out of the window. The heavy rain that had been pouring down gradually became lighter. "Oh right, I suddenly remembered that you still owe me a meal, Lawyer An. I happen to have some time in the evening, so I'll treat you."
An Lan had a headache. The people in the courtyard had already misunderstood. If they walked out together, the misunderstanding would be even worse. "Does a person with a high position like Chief Judge Xu want a meal from me?"
"Yes," Xu Baohan nodded. "Recently, the house has been renovated and I'm short of money."
An Lan: "…"
It felt strange for such a cold and otherworldly person to say that he was short of money.
"I also have to pay the mortgage."
"Yes, I heard from Nian Junting that you're quite good at investing in real estate. You have several houses." Xu Baohan's deep gaze fell on her face. "It's not bad. I don't even have the chance to pay the mortgage."
"…"
Since he had already said so, she had no reason to refuse this meal.
"Don't look so unafraid," Xu Baohan said after a moment of silence. "After all, you're now someone who charges 1,800 yuan an hour for consultation."
"How did you know?" An Lan's expression turned strange.
"I heard from my colleague that you've been quite famous recently." Xu Baohan looked away indifferently.
An Lan didn't doubt it. Recently, she had been quite famous on the Internet, and her Weibo had more than 100,000 followers.
"Let's eat at the family restaurant nearby," Xu Baohan decided.
An Lan couldn't help but ask, "How did you know that I'm free tonight …"
"You're going on a blind date again?" Xu Baohan asked directly.
"… No," An Lan felt helpless. "How much do I love blind dates in your heart? Let me tell you, last time was my first official blind date, okay? I've always refused before, but Chief Judge Xu, you're busy renovating the house. Why, do you want to get married and move into a new house as soon?"
"No, the new house is close to the courthouse. It'll be convenient for me to go home after the renovation," Xu Baohan asked directly, "Do you want to treat me? I don't care."
After saying that, he stared at her.
His eyes seemed to be saying, "You're a person who charges 1,800 per hour for consultation, but you're so stingy that you won't even treat me to a home-cooked meal."
"No, it's my treat. I'm very honored to be able to invite Chief Judge Xu," An Lan said resignedly. "Where is the place?
"You don't have to drive. Just walk for five to six minutes. Wait for me at the door, I'll get an umbrella," Xu Baohan arranged.
…
At 5: 30 pm, Xu Baohan came out of his office with a navy blue umbrella. An Lan happened to be standing in the corridor with her back facing him. Today, she was wearing a black and gray windbreaker, stockings and high heels. Her ankles were very sexy, her body was thin and straight, and her almond-colored curly hair was tied up.
