Xu Baohan took a step forward, his tall body getting closer to her, a faint smile in his unfathomable eyes. "I never cheat."
His voice seemed to have a subwoofer.
An Lan's heart skipped a beat. She took a few steps back and warned unnaturally, "Just talk, why are you so close to me?"
Xu Baohan didn't seem to hear what she said. He bent down and continued, "I guess what you heard was said by someone in the same room as me tonight."
"It doesn't matter who said it." An Lan believed that she still had the virtue of keeping a secret. "What's important is your view on marriage."
Xu Baohan shook his head, his gaze deepening. "I said those words to other women to dispel their thoughts. My view on marriage is what I said to you just now."
An Lan was stunned, but then she thought about it. What he said was probably true. No matter how strange a man was, there was no reason for him to have such thoughts.
"I think so too." Xu Baohan suddenly raised his eyebrows. "You said those views on marriage to dispel Chen Ke's thoughts. An Lan, actually, our styles are quite similar. I think we're very suitable."
If the two of them had used the same method to dispel the suitor's thoughts, An Lan would have been quite surprised, but his last sentence quickly woke her up. "How are we suitable?"
"Everything is suitable," Xu Baohan said.
"…"
Why didn't she feel that there was anything suitable?
Xu Baohan saw that she had stopped talking, so he said in a low voice, "So … have we agreed on our views on marriage? I think we can get married this year."
An Lan was stunned. "What we just said was about our views on marriage? When did we agree on it?"
"We talked a lot just now." Xu Baohan slowly frowned and reminded her, "And don't you think we're quite fated?"
An Lan took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. She had met Xu Baohan a lot recently. "But what you said makes me feel that you just want to find a suitable marriage partner. I'm also the only one you've met in the past few years that you think is a rare suitable partner, but you're not one to me."
Xu Baohan stared at her, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "Speak clearly."
An Lan continued, "What I mean is that although you have a good appearance and a good job, and we both study law, it's not that there haven't been outstanding and handsome men like you in my life. I didn't choose any of them, not because they weren't good, but because I … don't want to find a suitable man to marry. What I want is a man who loves me, and I love him. We're willing to sacrifice ourselves for each other, and he's worth relying on. We haven't reached a consensus on this point, so how can I marry you?"
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Baohan suddenly said unhappily, "So … there are a lot of men like me in your life, right?"
An Lan was speechless. Was this his focus?
"I'm very grateful to you for helping me tonight," An Lan continued. Actually, it wasn't that she didn't have any thoughts about what he had done tonight, but when he couldn't even answer the question of whether he liked her or not, An Lan was disappointed.
"Chief Judge Xu, to be honest, I've met too many men and women who choose a suitable marriage partner because they're going to get married. Actually, this is quite good, but I'll think, do they love each other? Do they have passion? Do they like each other very much? Maybe you'll think that I'm almost thirty and I'm still in love, but I don't think so. I have money, ability, a house, a car, and a company. Why should I make do? Why can't I wait for love?"
