Chapter 1765: Too Appetizing

More than ten minutes later, the dishes were served one after another.

Although it was a small place, it looked, smelled, and tasted good. It indeed had the taste of a home-cooked meal.

An Lan felt that eating here was indeed better than cooking at home.

“The dishes and oil here… are clean.” After eating for a while, Xu Baohan suddenly said, “It’s better than the one at the vegetarian restaurant last time.”

“Yes, that’s right,” An Lan nodded. “It’s very delicious.”

Xu Baohan lowered his gaze when he heard that. The gratification in the depths of his eyes disappeared in an instant.

After about half an hour, the last small fire beef tripe was served. An Lan ate two bowls of rice for the first time, then wiped her red lips and went out to pay the bill.

It was only a little over a hundred yuan. It was practically the cheapest meal An Lan had eaten in the past few years.

After returning to the private chamber, Xu Baohan had finished his meal. An Lan said, “Chief Judge, thank you for inviting me to a delicious and affordable dinner. It was indeed delicious. I’m making a move now. I wish you a happy life, Chief Judge Xu, and a good appet.i.te.”

Xu Baohan, “…”

“Goodbye.” An Lan carried her bag and waved her hand as she left, leaving the clouds behind.

Xu Baohan looked down at his watch. It was only 6:20.

When he returned to his office, the young a.s.sistant, Su Run, who had been left behind to work overtime, was eating his bento while burying his head in his doc.u.ments.

When he saw that Xu Baohan had returned, he quickly asked, “Chief Judge, why are you back already? Heard that you went on a date with Lawyer An?”

Xu Baohan’s sharp gaze landed on him. Su Run covered his mouth and said embarra.s.sedly, “Lawyer Zhao said it in the office group. Some of my colleagues also said that they saw you guys going to a home-cooked restaurant to eat.”

“Yes, we left right after we finished eating.” Xu Baohan sat down and looked at the doc.u.ments on the table, stunned.

He had originally set aside two hours for this meal, but why did it only take him 40 minutes to come back? His efficiency was no less than eating fast food.

“It’s too fast, how can a date be so fast?” Su Run was embarra.s.sed. “I know, you guys shouldn’t have gone to the home-cooked restaurant, the food there is too low-quality.”

Xu Baohan was confused. “Isn’t that what eating is all about?”

“My Chief Judge, that’s not true.” Su Run was really worried about his leader’s happiness. He was hoping that his leader would settle down and start a family soon, not working overtime so desperately that he didn’t even have time to spend with his girlfriend. “It’s okay for us to go to the home-cooked restaurant for a meal, we can come back and work overtime after eating. When a man and a woman go out for a meal, it’s to cultivate their relations.h.i.+p. When the food is too appetizing, they eat very fast. They throw away their bowls and leave. How can they talk to each other? When the lights are dim, they kiss and hold hands, then they say they’re going to watch a movie or something, then they continue to hold hands and kiss…”

“Shut up,” Xu Baohan’s cold gaze swept past him as he picked up his teacup. “We just went out for a meal, we don’t have any dirty thoughts.”

“Then maybe I’m overthinking.”

Faced with the authority of his leader, Su Run immediately gave up, but he still added weakly, “But let me remind you that you won’t be able to kiss Lawyer An’s mouth if you continue to eat this way for the rest of your life.”

Xu Boyan had just finished a mouthful of tea when he choked on the last sentence. It took him a long time to recover. He turned his face away and looked out of the French window. His cold face was inexplicably warm.

He really didn’t think too much about it.

However, at this moment, when he recalled An Lan’s sharp red lips, it seemed that… it wasn’t that conflicted
