Chapter 2029: Don’t Call Me Ah Han

In the next few days, An Lan did the same.

Although Xu Baohan knew that she was deliberately making him unhappy, he was happy to dig deeper. He also knew that An Lan was actually holding back her anger. As long as she let it out, their relationship would slowly improve.

After Li Yuchen found out, he couldn’t help reminding An Lan when they were having bento lunch at the law firm. “Be careful, you might chase Xu Baohan away from you. A man’s patience has its limits.”

“Why are you speaking up for him again?” An Lan stirred the food in her bowl, her gaze carrying a deeper meaning.

“Don’t misunderstand, he didn’t look for me.” Li Yuchen quickly waved his hand. “When he asked me where you lived, I didn’t say a word. Don’t you believe me? I just feel that you didn’t choose to break up with him, which means you still want to be with him.”

An Lan casually picked up a piece of cauliflower. She had to admit that Li Yuchen was right about her heart. He was a man who had been intimate with her, and breaking up with him was not an easy decision.

Li Yuchen reminded her, “Don’t forget, his ex-girlfriend lives near his house. If you treat him so badly now, that White Lotus might really change his heart. You may have asked him to warm your bed, but the White Lotus is probably willing to fight to warm his bed. You know why so many men still cheat after chasing after their goddess in their hearts. It’s because the goddess is so high and mighty. He’s tired of being flattered and annoyed. A woman who flattered him appeared. Even if she’s not outstanding in all aspects, he still cheated with her.”

“If there really is such a day…” An Lan paused, taking a deep breath before raising her eyes. “Then it can only be said that his feelings for me are only so-so. Even if he doesn’t leave today, he will leave sooner or later.”

Li Yuchen’s lips parted slightly. It did seem to make sense.

…

Friday, 7:50 am. Xu Baohan yawned as he stood by the door to buy fried dumplings.

Recently, he had been returning home at around 1 am every day. During the day, he had been working a lot and felt that he didn’t get enough sleep. He would usually cook noodles at his house, but recently, he really didn’t have the energy to do so. He basically just went out to buy some breakfast.

There were quite a lot of people lining up in the morning. He just wanted to hurry up so that he wouldn’t run into Zhuang Tianya.

But sometimes, it was such a coincidence. After buying the fried dumplings, he turned around and saw Zhuang Tianya walking over with her bag. When she saw him, she waved her hand. “What are you eating?”

Xu Baohan felt a headache whenever he saw her. His expression was indifferent and he didn’t reply much. “I’m in a hurry to go to work.”

Zhuang Tianya was stunned and she quickly said, “Ah Han, what’s wrong with you? Seeing me is like seeing a monster. I didn’t do anything. Did your girlfriend misunderstand me and argue with you the other day?”

Xu Baohan paused for a few seconds before turning back, his gaze deep and indifferent.

Zhuang Tianya sized him up affectionately, her heart aching. “You seem to have looked a lot more haggard recently. Are you too tired and haven’t slept well? Although work is important, you still have to pay attention to your health. Don’t tire yourself out at such a young age, you used to be a workaholic…”

“No matter what happened in the past, at least we are no longer related,” Xu Baohan interrupted her, “Your existence has indeed affected me and my girlfriend. I can’t interfere with where you live, but I hope that even if we meet, there’s no need for us to greet each other, there’s no need for us to contact each other. Don’t mention the past. And don’t call me Ah Han, we have nothing to do with each other.”
