“…”

An Lan completely forgot about this matter.

Could it be that her lie would be exposed in less than half a minute.

“Because… I just bought some small things yesterday. I haven’t bought anything really expensive yet,” An Lan quickly said in a panic. “When I want to buy something expensive, I’ll definitely use your card.”

Xu Baohan said in a deep voice, ” An Lan, the bag you usually use already cost more than 100,000 yuan and you consider it cheap. If you buy something expensive… could it be that you want to buy a building in Hong Kong?”

An Lan, “…”

Xu Baohan coughed softly. “If I want to buy a building in Hong Kong, my card might not be enough. Even if you sell me away, it might not be enough.”

An Lan was speechless. After racking her brain for a long time, she finally said, “I didn’t buy such an expensive bag last night. I bought it at a special price, 1,000 yuan.”

“Were your bags ever so cheap?” Xu Baohan suddenly lowered his voice. “An Lan, are you starting to save money after getting together with me?”

“Don’t let your imagination run wild. I think that bag looks pretty good,” An Lan lamented silently in her heart. She really regretted it. If she could do it all over again, she wouldn’t have lied. So what if she went to a bar. If he nagged at her, then so be it.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while before Xu Baohan smiled. “An Lan, I was joking, but it seems like this joke is a little lame. Of course, I know that you can’t buy a property in Hong Kong. The price of the property is so high, it’s impossible for you to invest there.”

“…”

This joke was especially lame.

An Lan buried her face into the pillow and said gloomily, “next time, don’t joke around. Thank you, but don’t worry, I’m not a spendthrift person. I know that it’s not easy for you to earn money, I won’t spend it recklessly.”

“An Lan, I didn’t mean that,” Xu Baohan explained, stunned. “Anyways, I gave you the card, so you can spend it however you want. Although I don’t have as much money as you, and I’m just an ordinary judicial officer, I’m willing to hand over all my money to you. I might not be able to satisfy you fully, but I know my limits.”

An Lan scratched her head. “Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Didn’t you say that you wanted me to support you? Why are you still saying this?”

“We both know that was just a joke,” Xu Baohan said softly. “There is disparity between us in terms of the amount of money we make and our spending power. But I don’t think that I can’t give you happiness, because I know what kind of happiness you are looking for.”

An Lan’s heart trembled. “Alright, then tell me what kind of happiness I want?”

“A home, a soulmate,” Xu Baohan’s faint smile came through the microphone. “An Lan, you are an independent woman. Letting a man support you is not something you would do. Otherwise, even if I liked you, my rationality would not allow me to pursue you. Because I know that even if we got together and I can’t give you what you want, you won’t be happy either. I believe that my family background is alright, I have an interesting soul, and my knowledge of the law is comprehensive, which is perfect for you.”

An Lan burst out laughing. “Who cares if you have an interesting soul? Besides, is it a good thing that you have comprehensive knowledge of the law? If I find someone who is clueless of the law, should we get divorced, I can let him leave without getting any asset.”

“That’s why it takes courage to marry a lawyer,” Xu Baohan agreed. “If I don’t enter Hell, who will go to Hell?”

“Wait for me to come back and teach you a lesson,” An Lan gritted her teeth. “I’ve only been away for a day, and you’re already itching for a lesson.”

“Mm, hurry up and come back and teach me a lesson.” Xu Baohan’s voice was filled with a gentle smile. “I’ve been itching for you to teach me a lesson.”
