The driver understood. “I see. It turns out you guys are lovers. The young people nowadays are really different. A forty-year-old like can’t keep up with you at all.”
An Lan was embarrassed. “No, we are not the kind of relationship that you think...”
“I understand.” The driver nodded and said, “What kind of relationship can a man and a woman have when they stay out so late in the night? And you guys were standing at the police station’s entrance, and it says alot. I guess one of you got into trouble and the other ca to help. What you guys have is true love.”
An Lan rubbed her forehead helplessly, amazed by the taxi driver’s wild imagination.
Xu Baohan, however, was very satisfied.
After arriving at the KTV, many people had already left. Only Cao ng and a few others were waiting. An Lan took her things and waved goodbye to them.
Cao ng smiled and reminded Xu Baohan, “Senior Xu, you must escort our great beauty ho.”
Xu Baohan nodded and said to An Lan, “Wait here. I’ll go get the car.”
An Lan then rembered that he had driven to the KTV. It turned out he didn’t co back to the KTV for her at all. “Can you drive? Did you drink alcohol tonight?”
“I didn’t.” Xu Baohan shook his head.
An Lan clicked her tongue. “How did you manage that with so many old school mates eting together? Those guys at your table love drinking alcohol, right?”
Xu Baohan smiled faintly. Under the neon lights of the KTV, he exuded a srizing charm, “Whenever they tried to make drink, I’d talk to them about the criminal law about drunk driving. Also, I told them if sothing happened to while driving after drinking alcohol, the guys who persuaded to drink would be held responsible, too, no matter they are my alumni or colleagues.”
“...”
This guy must be a devil.
An Lan muttered silently. She rembered that she had once asked him to drink with her. She must have lost her mind.
“Um... Chief Judge Xu, do you have any friends?” An Lan asked curiously.
“... I think so.”
“...”
What does he an by ‘I think so’?
An Lan was speechless. “Isn’t Nian Junting your friend?”
“I don’t know.”
At the ntion of this na, Xu Baohan frowned and said, “I didn’t know if he’s my friend or not, but I’m sure he won’t be my friend in the future.”
“Why?” She wondered if there was grudge between the two of them.
Xu Baohan stopped walking and looked at her with resignation, “Because you liked him.”
After that, he strode off to get the car.
An Lan looked at his departing tall figure, her heart thumping wildly.
So he was jealous, right? So he was serious when he said he was jealous?
However, she didn’t want their friendship to end just because she had once liked Nian Junting, even though they were just casual friends.
...
After getting into the car, An Lan gave him her address.
Xu Baohan found that the area she lived in was far from here and where he lived. He frowned. It wouldn’t be convenient for him to drive her ho in the future.
“I can take a taxi,” An Lan said when she saw his frown.
“It’s alright, I’ll get used to it anyway.” Xu Baohan started the car, thinking that they wouldn’t have this inconvenience after they lived together in the future.
An Lan stared at him in exasperation. “I didn’t say I’d go out with you, did I?”
“You didn’t say it,” Xu Baohan drove with his eyes on the road. “But you made give up the plan of finding a suitable woman to marry and made realize the importance of finding a woman I like to marry, so you have to take the responsibility.”
An Lan blinked in confusion.
