Chapter 1820: An Lan, Don’t Be So Stubborn

“…”

An Lan was speechless. A moment ago, he had ridiculed her for being someone’s a.s.sistant, but now, he was saying that she needed a boyfriend. What did the two things have to do with each other.

Xiao Si held Ji Nuanyi’s hand and said blissfully, “Ever since we decided to get married, I begin to understand why Nian Junting always encourages the people around him to get married as soon as possible. An Lan, I’ve been thinking a lot lately, and I’ve finally found a good boyfriend candidate for you. Cao Zirui, the general manager of Shengting’s on risk control. You don’t need me to tell you about his abilities.”

“Mr. Xiao, you’re about to get married. There should be a lot of things to prepare for the wedding. Do you still have the time to dwell on such trivial things?” An Lan calmly took a sip of tea. She had always liked the tea in Xiao Si’s house.

“It’s because we’re old friends.” Xiao Si smiled. He had finally found a way to take revenge after being ridiculed by Nian Junting for being single for so many years.

Ji Nuanyi rolled her eyes at him. He was truly shameless. If An Lan were a man, she wouldn’t feel so pressured. Nowadays, a man could remain single at 40 years old without feeling pressured as long as he was rich and handsome. However, women faced more pressure than men.

Xiao Si wasn’t a good friend.

“Ms. An is so beautiful and capable and I’m sure she has many admirers,” Ji Nuanyi said with a kind smile, “I was just saying that I smelled the scent of flowers on Ms. An. A man must have given her the flowers. I bet that there must be a bouquet of flowers in her car.”

“Really?” Xiao Si was surprised. He had intended to be a matchmaker. “An Lan, who gave it to you?”

An Lan rubbed her forehead. The two acted as if they had gone into her car and seen the flowers. “We’re just getting to know each other now. If we’re suitable for each other, you guys will meet him in the future.”

“But I don’t trust your judgment in men.” Xiao Si clicked his tongue and said, “I don’t even want to mention your ex-boyfriend He Mingqian. On the surface, he practically treated you like a queen, but behind your back, he tried many tricks to set me against your Zhenyuan Law Firm so that I would hand business to him. Fortunately, I was smart enough to see through his tricks and told you to be careful of him. In the end, it didn’t take long for him to reveal his true colors. He also underestimated me. He thought that Shengting worked with you just because we’re alumni. Did he think that I was an idiot?”

An Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Why did they have to dig up the past that she couldn’t bear to look back on?

“How could you date such a sc.u.mbag? I…”

“That’s enough,” Ji Nuanyi interrupted Xiao Si’s rambling, “The men nowadays are so hypocritical.”

“I’m not one of them,” Xiao Si quickly said, “So you have good taste in men. But An Lan’s taste is very strange. She needs to make a big change.”

He had never understood why An Lan’s unrequited love for the eccentric Nian Junting. As Nian Junting’s buddy, he had put up with him for years.

An Lan put down her teacup and said, “You’re right. I need to make a big change. That’s why I’ve decided to try it out with Xu Baohan. Didn’t you say that if he and I were to get together, we would be the Smith couple in the legal world?”

Xiao Si was stunned. Xu Baohan’s cold and unkind face flashed across his mind, and when he imagined the two of them talking about criminal law, his entire body trembled. “You two want to try it out?”

An Lan smiled but did not say anything.

Xiao Si said, “An Lan, don’t do it. That guy is sometimes… so ruthless.”
