Xu Baohan’s pupils constricted.
A heart-wrenching pain filled his heart.
But his body was cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
“An Lan, I was wrong. I won’t be like this anymore.” He shook his head with difficulty. “From now on, the only woman I’ll be with is you.”
“Stop it.” An Lan felt even more helpless after scolding him. She wanted to cry, but she didn’t want to shed a single tear in front of him. After all, she wasn’t Zhuang Tianya. No matter how upset she felt, she would hold back her tears, “Instead of saying that you’re wrong, why don’t you ask yourself if there’s still soone in your heart, since you can’t just leave her alone.”
“An Lan, I don’t. For , there’s only you, I know that very well.” Xu Baohan gripped her wrist tightly. The more he used his strength, the more his body started to wobble.
“Shh, if you lie too many tis, no one will believe you.” An Lan’s index finger pressed lightly against his lips, “Also, don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence? Xia City is so big, yet you managed to bump into Zhuang Tianya at your nearest pharmacy. Don’t you have any doubts?”
The temperature at the corner of Xu Baohan’s mouth turned cold as he stared at her sarcastic gaze. He cald down and answered honestly, “Because her company moved to the nearby area, she is now living in that area.”
“What a coincidence,” An Lan laughed.
Xu Baohan smiled bitterly. “I can’t control her living there.”
“You’re right, but have you thought of another possibility?” An Lan answered honestly. “She hasn’t forgotten about you, so she purposely moved to a place close to your ho, hoping to see you more often.”
Xu Baohan raised his arm until it was sore. “An Lan, whether she did it on purpose or not, it doesn’t matter to . I know what I want and who I love now. Can we sit and talk? I’m so tired.”
An Lan glanced at the IV drip treatnt. She said coldly, “Since you know you won’t have the strength, why don’t you just lie down? Instead of torturing yourself by getting up? Like you’re so afraid that I’ll bully her.”
“It’s not...” Xu Baohan was at a loss for words.
“Go lie down. I’m not a lunatic to get even with a patient. I don’t want you to think that I’m not as good as your ex. One gave you your favorite pig trotters when she caught a cold, and the other ca to scold you with empty hands,” An Lan said with a self-deprecating smile, he reached out to take the IV drip treatnt, and walked towards the bedside.
Xu Baohan followed obediently.
When he reached the bedside, he reached out to grab her hand. “An Lan, can we stop arguing? I promise to make a detour whenever I see her in the future. Even if I faint and know that she wants to help , I will imdiately get up and stop her from doing so.”
“Why do I feel like you’re mocking ?” An Lan stared straight at him.
Xu Baohan opened his mouth with difficulty and said bitterly, “I’m not, that’s what I think.”
“Lie down.” An Lan retracted her hand. “I’ll go buy you so food.”
“I’m not hungry, don’t go.” Xu Baohan was a little flustered, afraid that if she left, she wouldn’t co back.
“You’re not hungry, but I’m hungry,” An Lan said before turning around and leaving.
After leaving, she leaned against the wall and cald down for a few minutes, feeling extrely uncomfortable.
She and Zhuang Tianya seed to have won the argunt, but only she knew that she had lost, because Xu Baohan’s “I think it’s too much” had caused her to lose completely.
...
Xu Baohan laid down for more than 20 minutes in frustration before he saw her return. “Have you eaten?”
“Yes.” An Lan passed him the lunchbox.. “I bought pork trotters for you, it’s ti for so nourishnt.”
