Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 1763
Chapter 1763: Bo Han, Are You Finally Welcoming Spring
Xu Baohan stared at her for half a minute before he walked over with his long legs, “Let’s go.”
As he spoke, he took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.
An Lan was stunned.
“Wipe your hands,” he said simply.
An Lan received it in shock and wiped her wet fingers.
Xu Baohan opened the umbrella and An Lan looked at the umbrella on his head. It was a normal umbrella, not too big or too small. But when she thought about how she had to squeeze under the umbrella to go to the restaurant with him, she felt weird and definitely awkward.
She thought for a while and said, “I’d better drive there. Otherwise I have to come back later to pick up the car. Wearing high heels is also not very convenient.”
Xu Baohan frowned and thought for a moment, “Are you sure?”
“Sure.”
Xu Baohan nodded in agreement. “It’s a restaurant on the left called Home Cuisine Restaurant. It’s very eye-catching and has a bright red signboard.”
An Lan, “…”
It was really a casual name for a home cuisine restaurant. Chief Judge Xu, you were also eating so casually that even she, who was treating, felt a little embarrassed.
“Let’s go, I’ll send you to the car.” Xu Baoan covered her with half an umbrella.
Actually, it was only about 20 meters away. An Lan wanted to run over, but when she saw him move the umbrella over, she was too embarrassed to refuse.
She tried her best to keep a distance from him, but the umbrella was only that big. The rain thus fell on her shoulder.
Xu Baohan saw it and silently moved the umbrella over.
An Lan also noticed that his shoulder was exposed, so she quickly said, “Chief Judge Xu, don’t worry about me, just cover yourself.”
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll only send you to the car, it’s not too far,” Xu Baohan’s good-looking face remained indifferent.
It was off work time. He bumped into a few colleagues on the way to the parking lot. When they saw the two of them holding an umbrella, the colleagues all smiled mysteriously. When Judge Zhao got his car out, he opened the window and gave a strange smile, “Bo Han, are you finally welcoming spring? Haha, Lawyer An, not bad, you’ve even taken care of the most difficult judge in our court.”
An Lan was speechless. Just as she was about to explain, Xu Baohan frowned and said, “Lawyer Zhao, you’re thinking too much. We’re not even friends.”
“Is that so…” Judge Zhao raised his hand. “Then keep up the good work and try to let us drink your wedding wine as soon as possible. Every time, it’s you who drink our wine, causing us to feel quite embarrassed.”
Judge Zhao drove off in his small car.
An Lan glanced at the people beside her. “Now, the people in the court have misunderstood us even more.”
“Mm,” Xu Baohan nodded. “I reckon that we won’t be able to meet in court for a while.”
“…”
An Lan suddenly fell silent. Thinking about it, there were actually some benefits out of it.
…
After getting into the car, An Lan thanked him and Xu Baohan walked towards the home-cooked food restaurant with an umbrella.
An Lan drove over and within two minutes, she saw the home-cooked food restaurant. She had thought about it being simple and crude, but she didn’t expect it to be so simple. Under the vulgar signboard, there were words like ‘hot tripe’, ‘stir-fried beef’, ‘boiled fish’…
An Lan had been to such a restaurant when she was studying in Xia City, but after studying abroad, she had never been there again. Of course, sometimes she would work late into the night at the law firm and order fast food. She rarely set foot in it.
What made An Lan even more troubled was that there was no parking space in this place. She searched for a long time and finally found a place that was even further away from the court before she parked her car.
Fortunately, she had an umbrella in her car, but it was not suitable to walk in the rain in high heels and stockings. She had to change into a pair of sneakers and walk for ten minutes before she reached the restaurant.
