An Lan looked at him speechlessly.

Xuan Yuanlang gave her a playful shrug.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Baohan felt like he was being roasted by a raging fire. He wanted to remind her loudly that they hadn’t broken up yet, but she would definitely refute him with the IV drip treatment with Zhuang Tianya, he could only endure it and say, “The roast goose is really delicious. I haven’t eaten it in a long time. Where is Hibiscus Pavilion? I’ll go too.”

An Lan was surprised. With his jealous personality, she thought he would be angry. “There’s no need. There are more than a dozen people eating with us, as well as the people from the senior company.”

What he meant was that it was just a company meal.

Xu Baohan heaved a sigh of relief, but in his heart, he had already regarded Xuan Yuanlang as his number one rival. That fellow was definitely trying to take advantage of the situation. To be poached like this, did he think he was dead? “That’s even better. Let me get to know more of the people you usually work with.”

An Lan rubbed her forehead. “We’re talking about business. Why are you, a Chief Judge, joining in on the fun? If word gets out, it won’t be good for your reputation.”

What she said was indeed the truth. Officials and businessmen had always been taboo.

Xu Baohan was happy to hear that, the corners of his lips curving up. “An Lan, are you concerned about me?”

“Forget it.” An Lan couldn’t stand his smug look, so she hung up the phone. She then sighed and said to Xuan Yuanlang, “Senior, are you addicted to acting?”

“You should be content. With an outstanding man like me willing to be the second male lead and cannon fodder,” Xuan Yuanlang said as he twirled the pen in his hand. His gaze was dark. “I bet he will definitely come tonight.”

An Lan was embarrassed. “We really have to go to Hibiscus Pavilion for dinner tonight.”

“Is that the main point?” Xuan Yuanlang was slightly stunned.

“Of course, the dishes at Hibiscus Pavilion are very expensive.” An Lan nodded her head.

Xuan Yuanlang smiled when he heard that, his eyes shining.

...

Xu Baohan struggled for a while before he directly navigated to Hibiscus Pavilion after work. It was quite a distance away, and there was a traffic jam on the way there. By then, it was already 6:40 pm.

When he reached the door, he called An Lan, but no one picked up.

He could only brace himself and walk in. The interior was magnificently decorated, and the restaurant was very large. It was split into three floors, the main hall downstairs and the private chamber upstairs. The moment he entered, a waiter asked, “Sir, do you have a friend eating here or have you reserved a private chamber?”

This was the first time Xu Baohan had gone to the private chamber to look for someone without confidence. He was a little embarrassed, but he still answered politely, “Yes... my girlfriend is eating here. I didn’t get through to her phone, but I don’t know which private chamber she is in.”

The waiter looked at his clothes. Although he couldn’t tell the brand, his suede jacket and black trousers gave off a calm and collected aura, which made one not dare to underestimate him. “Then do you know who booked the private chamber?”

Xu Baohan wanted to say Xuan Yuanlang, but Xuan Yuanlang was famous after all. He had always attracted the attention of the paparazzi, so he gave up. Hence, he said, “I only know that my girlfriend is working as their legal consultant. There are quite a lot of people here, more than a dozen. My girlfriend looks like this.”

Xu Baohan showed him a photo of himself and An Lan.

There were actually so many customers coming and going every day. The waiter didn’t remember so many faces. However, when he mentioned Zhuo Cheng, the waiter immediately understood.

Tonight’s table was reserved by Xuan Yuanlang. His boss had already gone over, and when he looked at the photo again, he had an impression of this woman. She had clearly entered with Xuan Yuanlang previously.

“Wait here, I’ll go ask.” The waiter didn’t dare to be careless.. After all, his boss had personally instructed him to prevent reporters from sneaking in.
