The guard smiled when he saw her. “Your boyfriend is just in time. After being a guard here for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen him personally make breakfast and send it here so early in the morning.”
An Lan took the breakfast from the guard and opened the paper bag to take a look. The thermos flask was filled with piping hot eight-treasure porridge. There were also grilled ham and cheese toast, corn soup, dumplings and fried rice cake, all of which were her favorites.
These breakfasts were actually not what Xu Baohan was good at in the past. It was because after the two of them got together, he knew that he had picked up her preferences bit by bit, especially the rice cake, which was all made by him personally.
It was in those little moments that her heart was slowly softened by him.
She suddenly felt a little frustrated. Why was her heart always so soft? This time, she definitely couldn’t let it go so easily. She had to crush Zhuang Tianya into pieces.
When she was about to go to work at 8:30, Xu Baohan called. She didn’t pick up, but he refused to give up. He had no choice, so he picked up.
Xu Baohan didn’t complain over the phone. He only asked, “Have you eaten breakfast?”
“No, I threw it in the trash can.” An Lan suddenly regretted her words. Wasn’t she calling her stomach a trash can.
“An Lan, those are all your favorite foods. There’s no need to be so mean to your stomach,” Xu Baohan said. “When are you moving back today? I’ll help you move your things.”
“I don’t have anything, I can handle it myself,” An Lan mocked. “I’m not a fragile woman like your ex-girlfriend. I’m a strong woman who can wake up immediately after fainting on the ground.”
Xu Baohan had a headache and had no choice but to change the topic. “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you.”
“Why didn’t you answer my question?” An Lan continued to be sarcastic. “Do you think what I said makes sense?”
Xu Baohan felt a headache coming. “An Lan, I think you are trying to pick a fight with me now.”
“You’re right, I’m angry when I hear your voice.” An Lan was also very depressed. She was not a person who could easily lose control of her emotions, but now, she was completely disrupted by this person.
“You can be angry with me, but don’t be angry with yourself.” Xu Baohan rubbed his temples and finally said helplessly, “An Lan, why don’t we meet up with Zhuang Tianya? I’ll explain everything to her in front of her.”
“What are you talking about? You’re making it sound like I really care about her existence. Even though that’s the truth, Zhuang Tianya might be very pleased when she finds out.”
An Lan said exasperatedly, “A woman like her doesn’t even have the right to be my opponent, let alone have a face-to-face conversation with me. It’s embarrassing to think that a woman like her would actually become my love rival. Please, even if you find me a love rival, can you find someone prettier, better at earning money, or better than me? If you don’t have any of those, where can I put my face?”
“Yes, yes, it’s my fault, my taste is too bad,” Xu Baohan agreed, “There’s nothing I can do, she’s too ordinary, but you’re unique, she can be replaced, but you’re irreplaceable, I really can’t find a love rival that’s on par with you, I’m too useless, I should die for making you lose face, Lawyer An.”
An Lan felt like she had punched a piece of cotton. It was both funny and annoying. “Alright, I’m too lazy to waste my life with you. My time is very precious. As for you, you’re not as precious as a minute of my time.”
She hung up right after that.
Xu Baohan looked at the end of the call.. He looked up and saw Su Run standing at the door with a strange expression.
