Chapter 2009. I Still Prefer to Admire the Old You
Li Yuchen hung up the phone.
Xu Baohan was lying on the sofa alone. This sofa was still filled with An Lan’s faint scent. It was so close, but at this moment, it seemed so far away.
He couldn’t understand. He didn’t have any thoughts of being together with Zhuang Tianya. He knew clearly who he loved.
Why did he push An Lan so far away.
He felt like he had never failed before.
If he could do it all over again, he would have sent Zhuang Tianya to the hospital that night and left.
An Lan was right. In fact, it was not a big deal for him to receive IV drip treatment alone at night. The medical staff were all fine. He was just overthinking.
The next day, An Lan went straight to Xuan Yuanlang’s new company in Xia City. She then went home and did not go to the law firm.
Yan Wen called, a little worried. “Lawyer An, what’s going on between you and Chief Judge Xu? He’s been waiting for you since noon, and he even bought you flowers and gifts.”
An Lan scoffed. Did he think that she would forgive him every time he used that trick.
He was too naive.
He probably still didn’t understand why he was so angry.
“Don’t worry about him. He only comes during office hours anyway,” An Lan said.
She wasn’t sure if Xu Baohan would stop working even if there was a typhoon. If he didn’t apply for a day off, he would only come to find her in the afternoon and evening.
This was good too, she was really afraid that she would scold him every time she saw him. She was still upset right now, if she didn’t calm down, it would be better for everyone to cool off first.
Xu Baohan had been running around the law firm for a few days, he didn’t even see An Lan’s figure. However, he knew that the most important thing for him now was to recover from his cold, so he would still go to the hospital for IV drip treatment, his unhealthy body was on the verge of collapse in front of An Lan, her impression of him would be even worse. He was afraid that he would run into Zhuang Tianya in the hospital, so he even changed the hospital this time.
On the fifth day, he finally applied for leave and went straight to Nian Junting’s company.
Nian Junting, who had just finished a meeting with the higher-ups, was surprised to see him, “What brings Chief Judge Xu Here? Aren’t you in a relationship? Why did you ruin yourself like this?”
Xu Baohan frowned. If he had a choice, he wouldn’t have come to find Nian Junting. However, the people from An Lan’s law firm kept their mouths shut, “I had a fight with An Lan. She doesn’t even go back to her apartment. You must know where she still has a house elsewhere. I know her well. She’s unlikely to stay in a hotel.”
“So serious?” Nian Junting raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Si leaned over and said, “An Lan isn’t an unreasonable person. What did you do to make her so angry?”
Xu Baohan opened his mouth and said with difficulty, “I really didn’t expect it to be so serious.”
Hearing that, Xiao Si became angry and said, “How is it not serious? You usually look like a smart person. How could you do such a thing?”
Nian Junting also glanced at Xu Baohan’s cold eyes, “Aren’t you cold-blooded and heartless? Are you still the Xu Baohan I know? You’re so brave now, like a central air conditioner. You’re not the Xu Baohan I know. I still prefer to admire the old you.”
Xiao Si scolded, “What kind of scum is that ex-girlfriend of yours? She abandoned you after getting engaged to you, and everyone is laughing at you. Why don’t you keep your distance from her? If I were you, I would drag her to a deserted place and let her die.”
Xu Baohan: “…”
