An Lan was about to go to a eting when she saw Su Run calling. After so hesitation, she picked up.
Lawyer An, this is bad, Su Runs nervous voice ca through the phone. I feel like there is sothing wrong with the chief judge today. Hes late.
An LAN rubbed the space between her brows. Um. Im late this morning too. Not only this morning, but Im also late for half a month. Theres nothing strange about being late.
Could she please find a better excuse for being soft-hearted towards Xu Bo Han?
But the chief judge is never late, Su Run said, Ive been working at the court for a few years, but Ive never seen him late once. Even when he had flu a few days ago, he always dragged himself to work and wasnt late for a minute. When he ca over this morning, he looked terrible.
An Lan wondered if she had tortured him too much in the past few days. It was true. It was very tiring to go to work every day. At night, he still had to go over to her place to cook dinner, clean up, warm the bed, and only go to bed after one oclock. It was indeed quite miserable However, he was a tall and strong man, so he shouldnt collapse so easily, right? Could it be that the previous fever was too severe that his body had suffered too much damage?
It was possible. After all, he was so old, he couldnt be compared to a young man in his twenties.
Perhaps it was better not to be too ruthless tonight.
That night, after An Lan returned ho from her social gathering, she just walked out of the house when the lights in the corridor were lit up by the sound of footsteps. She looked up and saw Xu Baohan leaning against the door. The orange lights lingered around him, giving off a lonely aura.
An Lan thought that there was sothing wrong with him today. Although he didnt treat her well in the past, he always had a smile on his face when he saw her.
Youre back. When he saw her, Xu Baohan stood up straight and smiled at her, but that smile didnt reach his eyes.
An Lan looked at him strangely. Have you eaten?
No.
An Lan frowned. She had replied to him on WeChat that she had a business eting with a client at night, so why didnt he eat before coming up? Do you want to starve to death?
An Lan, you still care about , right? Xu Baohans pale lips curved slightly, wanting to hug her gently.
But before he could get close, he was blocked by An Lan with her bag.
Seeing him like this, she suspected that Su Run had called her earlier in the morning to soften her heart. In fact, both of them were just using a trick to get to her.
Xu Baohan stared at her for a while, lowering his long eyelashes. An Lan, my grandfatherpassed away last night.
An Lan was stunned, probably because she rarely heard him ntion his family, but in any case, they didnt interact with each other anymore. When she suddenly heard that his grandfather had died, her mind went blank for a while.
So he had a grandfather.
She had always thought that he might have died long ago.
The corridor lamp above her head was switched off, and through the moonlight, the sadness on his body overflowed.
This was the first ti she had seen Xu Baohan so lonely, like a holess child.
She wanted to harden her heart, but she felt sympathy for him.
How did he die? She asked softly. Ive never heard you ntioning him before.
After my uncles accident, he suffered a stroke and was traumatized. Xu Baohan raised his head, his throat was slightly hoarse. Its good that hes dead. The old man suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. Its quite boring to live.
An Lan sighed. She knew that he wasnt that cold in his heart. If he was, he wouldnt be so abnormal. Had you offer incense to him?
