Chapter 1761: Perhaps... We’re a Good Match

Sister Zhang, who had just finished sharing the gossip behind An Lan, replied awkwardly, “I heard from others. Many people in the court know about the blind date between you and Judge Xu.”

An Lan was also embarrassed and gritted her teeth. Where did this rumor come from? Could it be Xu Baohan?

Sister Zhang noticed her silence and quickly smiled. “Actually, there’s no need to be embarrassed. Both of you are unmarried, and Chief Judge Xu is our court belle.”

An Lan felt mentally and physically exhausted. “Your chief judge is the flower of the high mountains, I don’t dare to pluck it myself.”

“Don’t say that, at least this is the first time we’ve heard that Chief Judge Xu went on a blind date,” Sister Zhang said mischievously. “Anyway, the higher-ups said that for the sake of the fairness of the court, the two of you have to avoid being in the same court.”

An Lan was embarrassed. Wasn’t it just a blind date?

But thinking about it, it was actually a good thing. Zhenyuan and Xu Baohan really didn’t get along well. Whenever they met Xu Baohan, they would never win. As long as they avoided him as the chief judge, it wouldn’t be too bad, after all, before they came, Li Yuchen had specially offered incense in front of the god of wealth of the law firm, hoping that this time, the chief judge wasn’t Xu Baohan.

The incense had not been wasted, so when she got back, she would ask him to share more with her.

When she came out of the office, it was raining heavily outside. Her car was still parked in the courtyard, and if she ran down now, she would definitely get wet, so she might as well wait for the rain to subside.

After standing in the corridor for more than ten minutes, Xu Baohan had just walked down the stairs and seemed to have just left the courtroom. He was dressed in a wide black judge’s robe, with a red front and golden buttons.

To be honest, this set of clothes was indeed very solemn and serious, but An Lan didn’t really like it from her view.

However, when this set of clothes was worn on the handsome Xu Baohan, his entire body seemed to be coated with a layer of brilliance that didn’t lose its restraint. At the same time, he exuded a cold and stern aura that made people respect and not dare to offend him. However, his pair of slender legs looked like a male model under the black clothes.

An Lan’s gaze lingered on his long legs for a while before she raised her head again. Xu Baohan’s gaze was as deep as the ocean as he looked at her.

After looking at each other for two seconds, An Lan came back to her senses and quickly walked over. “Chief Judge Xu, you came at the right time. I have something to ask you. Now, why does everyone in your courtyard know about my blind date with you? Did you tell them?”

Xu Baohan was slightly taken aback. “Does our department know about this?”

“Don’t you know?” An Lan said unhappily. “I just came over to hand in the case files. Your colleagues are all talking about this.”

Xu Baohan frowned. This was something that only Dean Liang and Director Chen had mentioned. It must have come from their mouths. “I will explain to the dean later. Although we have been on blind date before, our relationship has never progressed further. We have never contacted each other in private, so there is no need to do this for the time being...”

The more An Lan listened, the more she felt that something was amiss. After all, she didn’t want to meet him in court for now, especially since she wanted Li Yuchen to win the case and increase her share of the profits. “No, no, no, I feel that the court has done a very good job in evading, that’s how it should be.”

Xu Baohan raised his eyebrows.

An Lan cleared her throat and quickly said, “After all, rumors are terrible, right? We’re unmarried man and woman, one is handsome while the other is beautiful. Even if we’re honest and magnanimous in our hearts, others won’t think that way.”

Xu Baohan asked, “What will others think?”

“Perhaps... they will think that we are a good match.” An Lan said as she braced herself.
