Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Chapter 1764 - Romance Was Even More Ridiculous

Chapter 1764: Romance Was Even More Ridiculous

Xu Baohan was sitting at the door, sipping his tea elegantly. Seeing that she had finally arrived, he glanced at her sneakers and said, “Was the car parked far away? It’s not convenient to find a parking spot here.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” An Lan glared at him. He was quite comfortable, it was hard for her to be running around in the rain.

“I thought you knew,” Xu Baohan said doubtfully. “You often run to the courthouse, don’t you know that there’s no parking allowed in this row?”

An Lan sighed speechlessly. How would she know? It wasn’t like she was working here.

She sized up the restaurant. It was relatively clean, but other than these two advantages, she couldn’t find any other advantages.

“Are you sure you want me to treat you to a meal here?” An Lan repeated. “I remember there’s a courtyard near your court where you can eat Hui cuisine, j.a.panese cuisine, and steak restaurants.”

Xu Baohan didn’t say anything, but the lady boss, who was holding a cup of tea, smiled. “That’s right, Judge Xu. When you’re dating a girl, you have to go to a romantic place. It’s not appropriate for you to come to a restaurant like ours for a date.”

An Lan was embarra.s.sed. She had never seen a lady boss who would send customers away, so she could only say that Xu Baohan must be very close to them. She quickly explained, “We’re not dating, he did me a favor, so I’m treating him to a meal.”

“In any case, I’ve never seen Judge Xu bring such a beautiful and exquisite girl to our restaurant before,” the Lady Boss said with a smile. “It’s always his group of colleagues.”

“Let’s order, this place is pretty good,” Xu Baohan said plainly. “It has the taste of home-cooked food.”

An Lan was slightly taken aback. Seeing that, she did not try to persuade him. “Do you have a private chamber?”

“Yes.”

The lady boss brought them in. The private chamber was very simple and crude. There were only four white walls, not even wallpaper.

An Lan asked Xu Baohan to order. “Since it’s my treat, you’ll definitely order.”

Xu Baohan did not stand on ceremony and ordered a few special dishes.

“Please serve quickly,” An Lan reminded.

After the lady boss left, Xu Baohan asked, “Do you have anything to attend to?”

“No, but I want to go back early to read the files.” An Lan really wanted to tell him the truth. She couldn’t possibly stay in such an ugly and unromantic private chamber and eat with him for a long time, alright!

Besides, what else could a restaurant like this do besides eating? It was even more ridiculous to be in a romantic relations.h.i.+p.

“Are you familiar with the lady boss?” An Lan asked.

“Yes, I’ve been eating here for five or six years. I’m familiar with her,” Xu Baohan said.

An Lan didn’t know what to say. He had been eating here for five or six years and had never changed. This was great!

Nian Junting had mentioned that his parents had divorced, and that the cause of the divorce was because his uncle was involved in a lawsuit and he didn’t help. So his relations.h.i.+p with his father became strained. Although it was not known how his father divorced his mother, it seemed to be related to Xu Baohan. His mother didn’t seem to have a good relations.h.i.+p with Xu Baohan either.

She suddenly could understand how it was like. She was also not in good terms with her family. If she went back, they didn’t even cook for her.

A hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.

Xu Baohan asked sharply, “What are you thinking about?”

“I need to go to the washroom.”

An Lan felt that she and Xu Baohan had similar family background, but she didn’t think that she needed to discuss this with him. After all, he wasn’t someone who would be interested in these things, and she didn’t need to get to know him better.

That was because they were two completely different people, both in terms of personality and lifestyle.
