Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Chapter 1768: He Lowered His Head and Held An Lan's Hand Slightly Tight

On the bed behind Xu Baohan was a girl in a white hospital gown. She seemed to be in her early twenties. She had fair and clear complexion. Her eyes were as innocent as a deer and there was a bandage on her head.

An Lan was stunned.

Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips and his brows furrowed even more, but obviously he was also surprised.

His lips moved slightly, and An Lan's red lips opened like a cannonball, "Chief Judge Xu, I didn't expect to meet you again under such circumstances. This is Sun Xiaoxiao, right? It seems like you're her family member. I'm really sorry for my sister's actions. Whether it's compensation or an apology, I'm fine with it."

Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his brows. When he heard that the patient who injured Sun Xiaoxiao was surnamed An, he had thought of an LAN out of nowhere. He did not expect to meet her again here. "They're all mentally ill people. Tell me, what can compensation or an apology do?"

An Lan glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao. She seemed to be in a daze. She even grabbed the corner of Xu Baohan's shirt and said foolishly, "Papa, Xiaoxiao wants to eat cheesecake."

An Lan: "…"

She was shocked but quickly calmed down. Xu Baohan was only in his early thirties. No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him to have a daughter in her twenties.

Xu Baohan, on the other hand, was no longer as cold as before. He bent down and gently stroked her head. "Alright, I'll go buy some for you later."

An LAN immediately said, "How about this, I can come every week to buy Sun Xiaoxiao some cheesecake, or whatever she likes to eat."

"Every week?" Xu Baohan was a little surprised.

"Yes," An Lan said. "After all, I have to bring some food to An Ning every week. Even if I don't come, I'll get my assistant to come."

Furthermore to be honest, she felt that patients with mental illness were quite pitiful. A piece of cake was nothing to her.

"Lawyer An is actually willing?" Xu Baohan raised an eyebrow.

An Lan was speechless. "A piece of cake is only ten yuan. How stingy am I?"

"At least you shouldn't be too generous," Xu Baohan said honestly.

An Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak. For the blind date she had to pay for the juice and he made her treat him to a meal. What right did he have to say that she was stingy.

She couldn't be bothered with him. An Lan walked up to Sun Xiaoxiao and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, An Ning didn't mean to hurt you today. I'll buy you cheesecake from now on, okay?"

Sun Xiaoxiao raised her head and stared at her with her big, confused eyes. Suddenly, she smiled sweetly and hugged her, "Mom, you're back to visit Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao loves the cakes that you bought. Don't leave Xiaoxiao."

An Lan's body stiffened. Just as she was about to explain that she was not her mother, Xu Baohan suddenly walked over and said softly, "Xiaoxiao must be obedient. Mama will come visit Xiaoxiao whenever she's free."

An Lan glared at him, but Xu Baohan acted as if he did not hear her and patiently peeled the oranges for Sun Xiaoxiao.

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at him and then at An Lan. Suddenly, she held their hands and put them together. "Daddy, Mommy, don't fight anymore. Xiaoxiao will definitely be obedient in the future."

The child-like innocent and expectant expression in her eyes make An Lan feel a sudden ache in her chest. Xu Baohan did not say anything, but lowered his head to glance at An Lan's hand.

Her hand was warm. There was nothing on her fingers. They were clean and delicate.

If he used a little more force, he should be able to wrap them up.

He stopped his gaze, lowered his head and held An Lan's hand slightly tight. His voice was unique and hoarse, "Yes, Dad will treat Mom well from now on."
