Xu Baohan froze, his face slightly stiff.

Did he have a stomachache at that time? It seemed like it, he had almost forgotten.

“Baohan, answer me honestly, I don’t like to be lied to,” An Lan

stared at him with a clear and calm gaze. “Actually, I have already expected the answer.”

Xu Baohan lowered his gaze helplessly, “Because... I’m soft-hearted. She’s my ex-girlfriend. Even though there’s no feelings left, I couldn’t help turning a blind eye. When I was with her, it was the most difficult time for me at work, but this isn’t love. I know very well that if it was love, I would be anxious, sad, and afraid, but I didn’t have it then. Perhaps... yes, there’s still a part of us from the past.”

An Lan smiled, but her smile was even uglier than her tears.

Although she had already guessed it, it was indeed very uncomfortable to hear it from his own mouth.

Xu Baohan felt a wave of fear and panic from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to try his best to grab it, but it was as if something had passed through his fingertips and he could not grab it.

He had once thought that happiness was just around the corner, but he had pushed it away with his own hands.

“An Lan are you really going to break up with me?” Xu Baohan’s voice was slightly hoarse, his eyes filled with pain, “Give me a chance, I know what my mistake is now, I won’t do it again. Don’t deny our past just because of this one-time incident. It’s not easy to accept each other from the beginning to the end. Even if you’re sentenced in court, the consequences also depends on the severity of the crime.”

An Lan looked at him in pain. The more she cared, the more she felt suffocated when he said that he was soft-hearted towards another woman.

In this world, the human heart can never be controlled.

However, when it came to being completely cut off, it really wasn’t that easy.

Everyone wasn’t young anymore. She wasn’t sure when she would be able to pull herself together into starting a new relationship. Moreover, the two of them had been intimate before.

When a woman gave her body to another person, it was equivalent to accepting that person from her body and heart, but unfortunately...

It was given too early into the relationship.

An Lan was at a loss.

She felt like she was holding an expensive towel that someone else had used before. It would be a pity to throw it away, but if she didn’t, she would still feel dirty using it.

Seeing that she was silent, Xu Baohan was like a child for the first time. He was at a loss as he stepped forward and hugged her gently. He was nervous, uneasy, and cautious. “An Lan, I won’t be like that anymore. I won’t lie to you, alright? I swear on the law.”

An Lan smiled bitterly. He was probably more important than his life in the eyes of the law. Using the law wasn’t easy.

“That’s it,” An Lan said calmly. “We won’t break up for the time being, but we don’t want to live together for the time being. We don’t want to be close to you like we used to be.”

Xu Baohan smiled bitterly. Wouldn’t that return to the time when they first met? Fortunately, she used the words “time being”. He believed that as long as he changed his mind and be firm when facing Zhuang Tianya, she would forgive him. He was afraid that she wouldn’t even give him a chance.

“Alright.” He nodded, “I’m really not doing well this time. It’s only right for you to do this, but don’t stay here, alright? Go back to your place. After all, the condominium is quite crowded, I’m worried. Besides, your place is quite spacious, you’ll be more comfortable there. There’s no need for you to not be able to go home for me.”

An Lan looked at him with a complicated expression before reaching out. “Then... give me back my keys.”

Xu Baohan was stunned, but his eyes dimmed. “An Lan, I promised you that I wouldn’t stay with you, so I won’t....”
