novelThe More She Saw Him, The Handsomer He Looks

She felt inexplicably hot.
An Lan wondered if her sweater was too thick, but Xu Baohan was really handsome. Even though she had seen many handsome men like Nian Junting and Xiao Si, she had found Xu Bohan, unlike others, was handsomer each time she saw him.
While everyone was pleasantly surprised by Xu Baohan's arrival, Chen Ke's ugly face had turned red, "What's wrong with me selling wine? Don't you guys drink wine? Oh, right, is senior Xu drinking wine? Why is he holding a teacup?"
Lin Hua glared at Chen Ke with a sullen face, regretting to invite him to the dinner. Judge Xu was giving them an honor by personally coming over and drinking with them.
Xu Baohan placed the teacup under his nose and took a sniff. He then curled up his lips slightly, his dark eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm."No matter I'm drinking tea or wine, at least I'm drinking it with decency."
"What do you mean?" Chen Ke widened his eyes, his neck and face flushed red. He had been a boss for so many years and got used to people flattering him.
So what if he was a judge? Was a judge richer than him?
"Chen Ke, you've drunk too much, " Lin Hua stood up and warned him.
"If you're dunk, you can go home." Cao Meng was disgusted as well.
Seeing the disapproval on everyone's face, Chen Ke was smart enough to know that no one was gonna help him. He calmed down and smiled shamelessly."I'm not drunk. I was just joking with senior Xu."
Xu Baohan shook his head and looked down at An Lan."I feel sorry for you for being courted by such a person."
He turned and left.
An Lan: "..."
It was fine that he felt sorry for her, but why did he have to say it in front of everyone?
However, the others didn't think so and looked at her with envy."An Lan, do you know senior Xu?"
"Of course I do." An Lan sighed and said jokingly, "We met a few times in court and he even warned me many times in court. So we left a deep impression on each other."
"I see." They understood.
Li Shuang whispered into an LAN's ear, "You'll do well if you want to be an actress."
"Thank you for the compliment."
...
After Xu Baohan returned to their room, Xing Yuan jokingly asked, "Bohan, you stayed in their room for quite a while. Were you stalled by some beauty?"
"I got stalled by a wine seller." Xu Baohan put down his teacup, his tone heavy.
Everyone felt an inexplicable sense of heaviness, as though they were not in a restaurant but in a courtroom.
Because of this atmosphere, everyone ate even faster.
At 7:40 pm, the two groups of people paid the bills and gathered at the entrance of the restaurant.
Since they had taken alcohol, they could not drive, so they decided to split up to take cabs.
"I didn't drink, " Xu Baohan suddenly said, "There's still room for four more people in my car. Under such circumstances, ladies first."
The problem was that there were more than four ladies among them. Xu Baohan looked at Xing Yuan. Extremely agitated by his gaze, Xing Yuan quickly pointed at the juniors including An Lan and said, "You girls go and sit in senior Xu's car."
An Lan was surprised."This... Are you sure? There are senior sisters among us."
Xing Yuan revealed a sincere smile."But you're our junior sisters. Your senior sisters will take cabs with us."
"Thank you, senior." An Lan nodded. She felt that Xing Yuan was very considerate. It was a pity that he was already married.
Noticing that An Lan's gaze lingered on Xing Yuan for two seconds, Xu Baohan looked at Xing Yuan as well, but his gaze was a little colder than before.
