Chapter 2008: Lawyer Li, I Love Her Very Much

An Lan’s smile was bittersweet.

This wasn’t a problem of ending it completely, this was a problem of him saying that he had gone too far. It was a problem of him doing something wrong and lying to her, but not realizing the mistake.

It was rather meaningless when she thought about it.

As his girlfriend, as long as she didn’t commit murder, arson, or commit any crimes, shouldn’t he support her unconditionally.

Even though she might have fallen into Zhuang Tianya’s trap, it was meaningless for her to hold back her anger and treat Xu Baohan like a treasure in order not to fall into someone else’s trap.

After all, she and Xu Baohan were not married and didn’t have children. There was really no need for her to hold back and keep the anger inside.

…

At 10:30 pm, after Xu Baohan finished his IV drip, although his fever had not subsided, he still took a taxi to An Lan’s house to look for her.

He opened the door and entered. The lights were off and there was no one inside. There was no sign of her coming back.

He was a little anxious and worried. She wouldn’t be too angry and go to the bar to drink, would she.

He called Yan Wen first. She expressed that she didn’t know and then called Li Yuchen.

Li Yuchen replied in a strange tone, “Chief Judge Xu, you’re her boyfriend. You don’t even know. I’m just her colleague, how would I know?”

Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his brows, “Lawyer Li, tell me the truth, did An Lan say something to you? Where is she now? She is a woman and she is not back yet, I am quite worried.”

Li Yuchen was a little annoyed. Although Xu Baohan gave him good business and in his heart he respected him, but they were not his good friend after all. He and An Lan had gone through all sorts of ups and downs in their law firm, no one could compare to them.., “Chief Judge Xu, don’t worry. An Lan is not your ex-girlfriend and is not that fragile. She is already a few decades old. She will take good care of herself and will not risk her life for a relationship. We are all adults and know how to protect ourselves. Your worries are unnecessary.”

“Where is she?” Xu Baohan noticed something and his tone turned heavy. “Tell me.”

“What’s the use of telling you,” Li Yuchen said, “She doesn’t want to see you at all, Chief Judge Xu. I think it’ll be better if you two calm down. To be honest, I don’t understand why you accompanied your ex-girlfriend to IV treatment; if you can’t let go, don’t pester An Lan. She is only human after all. Put yourself in her shoes. If An Lan accompanied her ex-boyfriend to the IV treatment, you wouldn’t be able to take it, let alone another man. It would be as disgusting as eating a fly.”

Xu Baohan clenched his fists tightly.

His heart felt like it had been punched by someone.

So now, An Lan looked at him like he was a fly.

She said she needed to think about it, did she want to leave him.

He was anxious, his whole body felt like it was being roasted in a fire, “Lawyer Li, I love her very much. Other than her, my heart has no space to contain anyone else. Regarding my ex-girlfriend, I was wrong, I have realized it now, but it hasn’t been easy for An Lan and I to get to where we are today. I just want to ask you to tell me where she is.”

This was the first time Xu Baohan had spoken to Li Yuchen in a soft tone. Li Yuchen sighed, “An Lan has told me a long time ago, and I have promised her. Chief Judge Xu, I respect you, admire you, and look up to you, but that is all. I will always know who is most important between you and An Lan. Although I often tell you some things about An Lan, those are always based on the fact that An Lan wants to get in touch with you. As a friend of hers, I can do this, why can’t a boyfriend like you understand?”
