“Do you know how difficult it is to find a suitable partner that you like?” Xu Baohan glanced back at her, “I know how difficult it is when you haven’t found one. You might not be able to find it in your entire life. However, you have brainwashed me and therefore you have to be responsible to me.”
He repeated himself.
An Lan was dumbfounded. She had met shameless people, but she had met such a shameless person.
Where the moral integrity was.
“This isn’t a question about responsibility, it’s about …”
“I like you.” Xu Baohan smiled. His hand was on the steering wheel as he looked straight ahead.
An Lan was stunned and couldn’t utter a single word.
Why didn’t she believe him? He didn’t seem to be genuinely sincere.
“Can I take back my words?” This conversation had given An Lan a headache, “Actually, it’s quite good to find a suitable person to be a life companion. True love isn’t reliable. If two persons had been together for many years, the love between them would eventually become family affection. As a matter of fact, It’s meaningless…”
“If that’s the case, both of us should have more reasons to be together.”
Xu Baohan nodded, “Therefore, it is actually not that important whether you like me or not, as long as we are suitable for each other. Although I don’t have a Ferrari, I can refuel your Ferrari every day. Even though I can’t earn as much as you who is a lawyer, I have a secure job after all. I will not starve myself and my wife to death. I can ensure that you will want for nothing. I have a strong heart, and it is definitely not an issue for me that my wife earns more than me. My biggest strength is I have a healthy body. I never had any major illness, and only had minor illness once a year. I can fight, but I don’t like to use force. I prefer to resolve issues according to law. Only if it couldn’t be settled by law, then I’ll consider to use force. I’m not lazy, and my house is kept in good order. My cooking skills are pretty good. I don’t have any bad hobbies. I don’t smoke, drink, or gamble.”
An Lan:”…”
“Oh, by the way, you definitely will not face any issues on the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Since my parents and I don’t get along well and we seldom take to each other, you absolutely are not required to please them. However, you don’t have to worry that there is no one to take care of our children. I have an aunt who is my distant relative. She is honest and reliable. She had taken care of four children and is very experienced. When the time comes, I can request her to take care of our children.”
An Lan was completely dumbfounded. Was this a blind date in the car at 1 am?
Nevertheless, he was reasonably good at presenting his points. He could turn his disadvantages into his favor with sound justification to the point that she couldn’t refute it. She even felt that there was a certain logic to it.
“The most important thing is… a judge and a lawyer.” Xu Baohan smiled confidently. “From now on, who would dare to offend us?”
An Lan couldn’t help nodding. That’s true, both of them had performed reasonably in their last two cooperation. She sensed that her classmates were a little worried seeing them at court now.
Xiao Si had described them as the Mr and Mrs Smith of the legal profession.
“You also have the same opinion as me?” Although he was concentrated in driving, Xu Baohan still noticed that she nodded slightly.
An Lan woke up at once and glared at him. “I don’t have the same opinion as you, but Chief Judge Xu, don’t tell me that you’re having this thought and that’s why you think I’m suitable for you?”
Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips in silence.
An Lan smiled gently. “It is better for you to continue to stay single.”
Xu Baohan:”…”
“Stop. I have heard enough. Drive carefully. I need to take a rest. I drank too much and I feel dizzy.” An Lan leaned towards the window.
Initially, she intended to evade him continuously encouraging her to accept him by pretending to sleep. However, she didn’t expect that she would fall asleep.
