Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Chapter 1826: I Hope You Won’t Be Worse Than My Ex-boyfriend

However, to woo a woman like An Lan, he had to master the skills quickly.

An Lan was speechless, starting to doubt whether they were suitable for each other. “You won’t treat me like this in the future, right? Or you’ll just ignore me after I become your girlfriend and give me the money so I’ll do everything myself?”

“I won’t,” Xu Baohan denied in a solemn voice. “Absolutely not.”

An Lan looked at him and sighed, “After seeing what you’ve done, I began to doubt your words. You kept mocking me for being deceived by my ex-boyfriend. But in the end you might not do things that even he could do for me. You’re a little better than my ex-boyfriend in character. As for the rest...”

“I’ll change,” Xu Baohan quickly interrupted her, a rare look of nervousness in his eyes.

He really was surprised that she’d think he was worse than that scumbag.

How ridiculous.

“You have a long way to go,” An Lan said with mixed feelings.

“...”

Xu Baohan’s originally bright and cheerful mood suddenly turned gloomy, as though a thunderstorm was about to strike.

He silently opened a packet of Wangwang rice pancakes. He didn’t understand why she didn’t like this delicious snack. When he was little, people used to give Wangwang rice pancakes as gifts, but nowadays, people only loved imported snacks. In his opinion, domestic snacks were quite good.

“Chief Judge Xu, what are you eating?” Li Yuchen, who was sitting before them, turned around and saw the snack. “Wangwang rice pancakes! I didn’t expect you to like them. My son also likes them.”

Xu Baohan, “...”

An Lan suppressed her smile and looked out the window.

Xu Baohan hesitated for a moment. He peeled a large apple and handed it to her. “Since you don’t like the snacks, eat an apple then. It’s healthy to eat fruits, I’ve peeled it.”

An Lan looked at the apple, her head aching. She really didn’t like apples, but she had to admit that apples were the best gifts no matter where she went.

Seeing that he had peeled the apple for her, she took it and ate it slowly. It took her half an hour to finish the apple.

The bus stopped at a service station on the highway so everyone could use the restroom. As An Lan and her colleagues went to the restroom, Xu Baohan stood outside and waited for her. An Lan hadn’t spoken much to him today, which made his heart heavy.

Li Yuchen handed him a cigarette. “Chief Judge Xu, do you smoke?”

Xu Baohan glanced at him expressionlessly. “I don’t.”

Li Yuchen’s legs trembled under his glance, as though he had been warned in court. “Er... umm... Chief Judge Xu, actually... An Lan doesn’t like apples.”

Xu Baohan’s gaze turned back to him. “Say that again.”

Li Yuchen’s heart contracted as he replied nervously, “I’m telling the truth. Once she got sick and we brought her apples. After that, we saw that the apples in her office stayed untouched until they were rotten. She preferred to eat cherries, strawberries, kiwis, lychees, mangosteens and the like.”

“How do you know so much about her?” Xu Baohan narrowed his eyes, feeling a little jealous of the person in front of him.

“Because she’s my business partner. We work together or socialize together, which is why I know what she likes and dislikes.” Li Yuchen felt like crying. He was kind enough to advice Xu Baohan but the latter actually got jealous. “Also, I saw the cakes you bought. An Lan doesn’t like that kind of cakes. She’s very particular and only eats a certain brand of cakes made with imported cream.”
