An Lan originally thought it was great, but after hearing her words, she suddenly felt miserable.

"Forget it, it's better not to go. Let's go home and read the documents." An LAN waved her hand. It was more important to focus on earning money.

"No, no, no, I'll go with you." Yan Wen quickly hugged her arm to not let lawyer An go home alone and her imagination run wild.

Recently, a classic Japanese anime, "Spirited Away," had been released. The two of them did not really care that they had to watch a domestic movie, as long as it was good.

After buying a ticket and going in to watch it for more than ten minutes, An Lan felt a little bored. Yan Wen could not help but say, "Isn't this anime quite classic? All the big name bloggers are praising it on Weibo, but why do I feel that it is just average?"

An LAN thought about it and said, "Maybe it's because we've watched too many movies and we watched everything, but this cartoon was released more than ten or twenty years ago. It's a classic and has a profound meaning. What we're watching is our emotions."

Yan Wen nodded her head and the two of them continued watching with popcorn in their hands.

Around nine o'clock, An Lan received a call from Xu Bohan. Before he could speak, she heard the sound of a screening coming from An Lan's side. "You… Where are you? It's quite noisy."

"I'm watching a movie with Yan Wen,"An Lan said in a low voice.

After that, there was silence and Xu Bohan said in a low voice after a while. "An Lan, I'm jealous."

"…"

What to be jealous about watching a movie with a female subordinate? He should be feeling sorry for her alright.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" Xu Bohan sighed deeply.

An Lan was silent. She couldn't possibly say that she went to the movie because she didn't want to go back after you stood her up.

"Which movie theatre are you at? I'll look for you," Xu Bohan said, "Let's go and have some dinner. I just got off work."

An Lan looked at the time and pondered, "It'll take you at least 40 minutes to get here from the judge's place. It'll be about 12 o'clock by the time you finish your dinner. You have to go back to work tomorrow, how about…"

"I didn't have dinner." Xu Bohan interrupted her.

An Lan opened her mouth and said, "Do you have anything to eat at your place? I'll drive over to eat with you."

Xu Bohan chuckled, "Are you afraid that it'll be too late by the time I finish my dinner, so you suggested eating at my place? But An Lan, even if you eat at my place, I won't let you drive back alone. I'm worried."

An Lan blushed. She didn't expect him to see through her immediately. She didn't want him to go through all that trouble and she's already tired after a whole day of work.

"Wait for me at the entrance of your neighbourhood," Xu Bohan said, "Go home and put the car away. I'll pick you up to eat with me. I remember that there's quite a lot of food around your neighbourhood. An Lan, I'm tired from work, but I'll be even more tired if I don't see you."

It was noisy in the cinema, but his voice drifted into her ears like a cello, causing An Lan's heart to burn.

After the movie ended, she drove back to her house and parked the car. Xu Baohan had arrived as well.

She got into the passenger seat. He was wearing a light blue striped shirt with slightly rolled sleeves and a few buttons unbuttoned at the collar. There were two Starbucks on the shelf in the car, and the faint aroma of coffee wafted through the air.

"I bought you a cup of hot chocolate."Xu Bohan pointed at a Starbucks paper cup in front of him, "Other than coffee, there aren't many varieties of Starbucks. I don't want you drink coffee at night, so I bought hot chocolate."
