“Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll accept you as my disciple.” Song Ruixue looked at An Lan with increasing satisfaction. He finally understood why Xu Baohan liked her.

His daughter’s friend, Zhuang Tianya, couldn’t be said to be bad. She was pretty and pretty too, but compared to An Lan, she seemed to lack a bit of charm.

“Then aren’t we brother and sister?” Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow. He didn’t expect the usually arrogant Song Ruixue to admire An Lan so much, but his woman was indeed amazing.

“What brother? You’re just my student,” Song Ruixue said disdainfully. “An Lan is my proper disciple.”

Xu Baohan pursed his lips, speaking as though he was a disciple that he had picked up.

“It seems that master likes me a little more now,” An Lan smiled and held Xu Baohan’s arm.

…

After saying goodbye to Nian Junting and Luo Sang, the two of them went straight to Song Ruixue’s villa.

Song Ruixue had accepted an apprentice and won the lawsuit today. He happily asked Madam Song to prepare a table full of delicious dishes and even called his daughter, Song Yitong, over.

At the dining table, An Lan toasted to Song Ruixue. Song Ruixue drank until his face turned red. He pulled his daughter along and said, “Let me tell you, this disciple that your father took in today is definitely better than him. Being a lawyer is like this. You have to have a bottom line and at the same time, you have to do your part. Little An has a bright future. When you need to be ruthless, be ruthless. Today’s lawsuit was fought beautifully.”

The corner of Song Yitong’s mouth curled into an embarrassed smile. The person who could make her father admire was definitely not a good person. She was even a little worried about Zhuang Tianya. She had not heard from Zhuang Tianya recently, and she did not know where she had gone. She hoped that she could be more open-minded.

“Miss Song, here’s to you.” An Lan raised her glass.

“Here’s to you too. Come visit us often in the future,” Song Yitong smiled. “It’s been a long time since my father admired a junior this much.”

“I will.” An Lan felt a little strange. She always felt that Song Yitong was looking at her strangely.

An Lan had a drink in the afternoon. When she returned in the afternoon, Xu Baohan drove.

After getting into the car, An Lan fell asleep not long after.

It was not until they reached the parking lot that Xu Baohan woke up after carrying her out of the car.

“Why didn’t you call me? I’ll walk by myself.” An Lan moved her body.

“No, I want to hug you. Thank you for doing so much for me.” Xu Baohan’s gaze was so gentle that tears could drip from it.

An Lan shrugged uncomfortably. “Don’t say that. If you hadn’t helped me back then, I wouldn’t have been schemed against by He Mingqian. All I did was to let him get what he deserved.”

“An Lan, I’m really happy.” Xu Baohan looked at her with a complicated gaze. “It feels so good to be protected for the first time.”

An Lan blinked and couldn’t help laughing. “Chief Judge Xu, are we reading the script the wrong way around?”

After that, she tidied up his shirt collar, “No one is protecting anyone. You invited Song Ruixue to help me, and I called Zhao Gui over for you. Baohan, it’s not that I’m protecting you, it’s that we’re helping each other, taking care of each other and supporting each other. Furthermore, you’re mine, just like how you get angry when I’m hurt, and I get angry when you’re hurt. The two of us together are a pair of swords, invincible in the world.”

“HMM, that makes sense.” Xu Baohan’s eyes could not hide his endless love.

After entering the elevator, he looked down at her. “I really want to keep you by my side for the rest of your life.”

“I’m already by your side now.” An Lan stood on tiptoe, her arms around his neck as her lips slowly moved closer to his.
