Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 1824
Chapter 1824: I’ll Feel Bad to See You Suffer
His wife, Mu Ling, who was sitting next to him, mercilessly said, “The jacket looks good because of the wearer. If you wear it, no one would want to buy it.”
Li Yuchen glared at her. When he saw his wife staring at Xu Baohan avidly, he felt like crying. Everyone in the world liked pretty faces.
Xu Baohan did not even look at the other people in the bus. His gaze fell on An Lan sitting in the front row. Wearing a white baseball jacket and sunglasses, she turned from an efficient office lady to into a youthful girl.
Their jackets looked matching, one white and the other black.
Xu Baohan walked over and sat next to her. He brought a large plastic bag filled with food and drinks.
An Lan looked at him. He was really tall, and the chair seemed to have shrunk after he sat down. Her shoulder was pressed against his arm, and they could smell each other’s scent and feel each other’s body temperature.
Xu Baohan felt it and immediately shifted to the other side, but it was still very crowded.
Yan Wen, who was sitting behind them, whispered to the colleague sitting next to her, “I finally understand why Ms. An insisted on sitting in a double seat. I was just stupid and naive.”
“You know now. She likes it because of the smaller space. People in love like to sit close to each other,” the colleague giggled. “You’re still inexperienced compared with Ms. An. She’s an expert in love.”
Expert in love…
An Lan was speechless.
Did these two know that the people sitting before them could hear their whispers? What would Xu Baohan think of her? Did he think that she had chosen the seats on purpose?
She felt wronged and looked at Xu Baohan in resignation. Xu Baohan heard it too. He gave her a meaningful smile, his pale ears slightly red.
An Lan, “…”
He had really misunderstood her.
She tried to explain, “Don’t get it wrong. I’ve read lots of news of buses catching fire on the highway. I don’t think it’s safe to sit in the back. It’s harder to get out of the bus to sit in the back.”
“Okay.” Xu Baohan pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a doting smile.
An Lan felt that she wouldn’t be able to clear her name no matter what she said.
“Have you had breakfast?” Xu Baohan took out a small bag from the large bag at his feet. He took out a cake, a bottle of milk, and even a boiled egg.
Although An Lan had grabbed a bite at home, she still took it politely seeing that he had brought so much food.
Yan Wen continued to gossip with her colleague.
“Well, when I called Ms. An this morning, she said she was having breakfast.”
Her colleague replied, “But this breakfast that Chief Judge Xu has brought for her especially. Ms. An doesn’t want him to feel bad. What a romantic couple.”
An Lan almost spat out a mouthful of milk. Xu Baohan turned to look at her with a smile.
An Lan couldn’t take it anymore. She turned to Yan Wen and said, “Yan Wen, didn’t I tell you to sit in the last row? You’re so noisy.”
Yan Wen’s expression froze. “Ms. An, did you hear everything?”
Ms. An chuckled. “The next time you whisper, try to lower your voice.”
Yan Wen and her colleague’s faces turned red as they hurriedly moved to the back.
Seeing that the two of them had finally left, An Lan coughed and braced herself to say to Xu Baohan, “Don’t believe their nonsense. This is a beautiful misunderstanding.”
“An Lan, if you’ve had breakfast, just eat this boiled egg. I cooked it at home.” Xu Baohan lowered his head and peeled the egg before passing it to her. “Don’t stuff yourself for my sake. I’ll feel bad if you get a stomachache.”
