That night, before going to bed, Anran told su Yicheng about Lin Li’s decision and asked him to analyze whether Lin Li’s decision was right or wrong.

The lights in the room had been turned off. An ran was lying in his arms, looking at the dark room and waiting for his answer.

After a long time, su Yicheng slowly opened his mouth and said indifferently, ” “In fact, there’s no right or wrong. When it comes to feelings, there’s no hard index to measure whether it’s right or wrong. There’s only worth and not worth it. If she thinks it’s worth it, then there’s no right or wrong. “Actually, even if you end up getting hurt, it might not be a bad thing. Sometimes, the pain grows the fastest. Of course, the price for this is also very high.”

Anran was silent. After a while, she said sadly, ” I’d rather Lin Li never grow up and live the rest of her life happily like before. &Quot;

Su Yicheng gently caressed her back, back and forth. His actions seemed to be comforting her and slowly calming her emotions. Then, he opened his mouth and said, ” &Quot; there are always two sides to everything. Perhaps you should think of it this way. It’s better to know now than later. It’s a 10-year relationship now. If you find out about it in the next 15 or 20 years, you’ll only be hurt even more. When that time comes, as you grow older, even the recovery rate will be much slower. &Quot;

“Maybe,” An ran said in a soft and light voice. He was right, just as he said. Although the end result would still be painful, it was better to get it over with. It was better to know now than a few years later. By then, it would probably be worse than now.

Su Yicheng lowered his head and kissed the center of her hair. He seemed to see everything in the dark, and he reached out to smooth out her tightly furrowed brows, then whispered in her ear, ” &Quot; alright, go to sleep. Don’t think about it anymore. Maybe it’s not as bad as you think. Since Lin Li has already made her choice, she must have thought about which method will make her happy. Aren’t these two things what you want? Everything will be fine.”

Anran didn’t say anything more. She slowly closed her eyes, then moved even closer to his arms. She nodded and closed her eyes.

Su Yicheng gently patted her back, then gently stroked her back and forth, as if he were coaxing a baby, gently patting her to sleep. It was only when he heard her voice gradually calm down that he felt at ease and fell asleep with her breathing.

When she woke up the next day, su Yicheng was no longer there, as usual. The sunlight outside the window seeped in through the cracks in the curtains, and the room gradually brightened.

After staring at the ceiling for a while, Anran rolled over and got out of bed. Out of habit, she went to the bathroom to wash up, changed her clothes, and came out at eight O ‘clock.

When she opened the door and went out, she saw su Yicheng making a fried egg in the half-open kitchen with his back facing her. There were two pieces of slightly golden toast on the toaster on the side, and two pieces of toast had already been grilled on the bar table. There were also sausages and bacon on two plates, which looked very appetizing.

Anran suddenly felt very happy. Looking at his back, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a smile. Without much thought, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. She pressed her face against his broad back. It felt surprisingly good to hold him like this.

Su Yicheng was stunned by her actions and almost burned the egg in the pot. He quickly pushed the egg away with the spatula so that it wouldn’t occupy the bottom of the pot, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile. After a while, he asked, ” “What’s wrong?”

Anran leaned against his back and shook her head. &Quot; nothing, ” she said in a low voice. &Quot; I just wanted to hug you like this. &Quot; As she said this, she tightened her grip around him. It was a wonderful feeling to hold him like this. She could even hear his heartbeat when she was so close to his back. When he spoke, she could even feel the vibration of his muscles when she pressed her ear against his back.

Su Yicheng laughed, and the smile on his face widened as he said, ” “Alright,” he said.

Then, he covered her hand with one hand, turned off the fire with the other, and fried the half-cooked egg with the remaining heat of the pan.

Anran hugged him for a while more before finally letting him go. She saw su Yicheng turn his head to look at her with a smile. She returned his smile graciously, then stood on her tiptoes and gave him a light kiss on the lips. It was just a light Peck, and an ran quickly let go of him. Then she took the plate on the counter, went around the kitchen to the bar outside, and sat down on the red high chair.

Su Yicheng touched his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled up in amusement. He shook his head and laughed before he finally realized what was going on. He took out two sets of cutlery from the disinfection cabinet. He handed it to an ran.

Anran grabbed a piece of toast and ate it. The texture of the toast was really good. It wasn’t too crispy or too burnt. She nodded, then smiled at him playfully and gave him a thumbs up, praising him for his delicious taste.

While eating, su Yicheng suddenly asked, ” &Quot; do you have to work overtime tonight? or do you have any other plans after work? ”

“No, I didn’t,” An ran shook her head. Nothing happened.

&Quot; come and accompany me tonight. We’ll attend a banquet together, okay? ” Su Yicheng asked for her opinion. If she didn’t want to, he naturally wouldn’t force her and would put her first in everything.

&Quot; yes. &Quot; Anran nodded and asked, ” what banquet? ” Anran asked. In fact, she didn’t like such occasions. Everyone dressed up gorgeously, shuttled through the crowded balls, and chatted and laughed with people she didn’t have any relationship with. However, since he had spoken, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

“It’s nothing. It’s just an elder’s birthday,” Su Yicheng said with a chuckle.

Anran nodded. &Quot; do you need to buy a gift? ” She wanted to be a qualified wife, at least to help him share some of the things that she could do.

Su Yicheng smiled and shook his head. &Quot; I’ve already prepared the gift, so don’t worry. I’ll pay you after work. &Quot;

Anran nodded and smiled at him.

Su Yicheng was still the one who sent her to work. In fact, Anran had protested to him more than once, but he always smiled and insisted on sending her to work every day, not taking her protests to heart at all.

In the end, the car slowly stopped in front of Anran’s company building. Before getting out of the car, Anran suddenly turned around, looked at su Yicheng, and said with a serious expression, ” “Special Assistant su, can I have a serious talk with you?”

Su Yicheng looked at her in amusement and asked, ” “What did designer Gu want to talk to me about?” Su Yicheng learned how she called him, and he also called her by her profession.

Anran didn’t mind and said directly, ” Mr. Su, can I drive by myself in the future? ” Although I’m very happy that you’re picking me up every day, but!” Anran paused, then said word by word, ” “But it’s really inconvenient for me to do this!” Her job made it impossible for her to stay in the office every day. She often had to run to the construction site, sometimes once a day, sometimes several times a day. She was not sure at all. Therefore, it was really inconvenient to not have a car. Otherwise, a mechanical idiot like her wouldn’t have made the decision to get a driver’s license. Actually, apart from this reason, she also didn’t want him to work so hard. The municipal Party committee’s office building was originally a few streets away from her company. In other words, he now took a long detour to send her to work every day. She would feel bad if he did that.

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows, looked at her, and asked, ” “Am I the one who’s causing you trouble?”

Anran was stunned and couldn’t answer for a long time. Actually, it wasn’t really a problem. He actually made her feel particularly proud by picking her up every day. In addition, she didn’t have many opportunities to go to the construction site recently because the projects on her hands were almost completed. In fact, she was afraid that it would trouble him and didn’t want him to work too hard.

Su Yicheng looked at her steadily, as if waiting for her answer.

Anran looked at him, and his expression seemed to be a little guilty and hurt. Thus, she suddenly felt guilty. He was clearly giving it to her out of good intentions, but she still accused him of giving it to her in the wrong. As she thought about this, Anran’s originally high-spirited arrogance disappeared. She looked at him and said with some guilt, ” “I, I didn’t mean that …”

Su Yicheng actually wanted to laugh. She looked so different from how she looked just now. She was like a completely different person. Holding back the smile on his face, he looked at her and gently lifted her face. He looked straight into her eyes and said, ” &Quot; actually, I’ve always felt that driving you home is a blessing. That’s why I’ve always treated it as a benefit that you’ve given me. &Quot;

Anran looked at him, unable to say a word. She was so touched by his words that she felt like she was in a mess. This man was too scary. He could say such sweet words in such a moving way, but he didn’t make her feel like he was pretentious at all.

&Quot; Anran, are you willing to give me this kind of benefit? ” Su Yicheng looked into her eyes and asked her very seriously.

Anran nodded in a daze. At this moment, she had completely forgotten her insistence at the beginning. How could she reject him when he was like this?

Su Yicheng laughed, bent over, and kissed her forehead, then her eyebrows, and then her lips.

By the time he let go of her, an ran’s face was already flushed and she couldn’t breathe. Looking at her like this, he couldn’t help but kiss her lips a few more times before letting her out of the car.

An ran waited for the elevator with a faint smile on her face.

“Ah, how sweet.”

She turned around and saw that Xiao Xiao had already appeared behind her. She looked at her with a faint smile on her face.

Anran turned her head, stopped smiling, and said, ” “Thank you for the compliment.” He looked straight at the elevator door and no longer turned to look at her.

Xiao Xiao squinted at her. When she came over just now, she happened to see her and su Yicheng flirting in the car, and the anger in her heart suddenly burned for no reason.

She couldn’t accept it, she really couldn’t accept it. Why were all the men she had met so outstanding? could it be that su Yicheng was even more so? But what about her? she had been by Huang Dexing’s side for eight years and had entered society at the age of 18. She had endured the kisses and hugs of this old man who was strong enough to be her father. She obviously felt disgusted to death, but she still had to smile and please him. He didn’t get anything, and he had to endure the abuse and slaps of that tigress at home.

Ding!

The elevator arrived, and Anran was about to go in when Xiao Xiao suddenly bumped into her shoulder. Just as Anran held her shoulder and was about to fall, Xiao Xiao turned around and said with a disdainful smile, ” “I’m sorry, I didn’t see it.”

Anran looked at her angrily and stepped into the elevator. She massaged her shoulder, which was a little painful from the collision, and said indifferently, ” “It’s fine. Some people have smaller eyes, so they naturally can’t see.”

“You!” Xiao Xiao looked at her, almost exasperated. She wanted to refute, but she couldn’t say a word.

Anran didn’t look at her. She stared straight at the red number that kept jumping. Finally, when it jumped to the designated floor, the door opened with-ding. She grabbed her bag and walked out of the elevator.

Looking at an ran, her eyes were even more vicious than before.

In the afternoon, he still called Lin Li because he was worried. Today, Lin Li’s mood seemed to be better. At least, she wasn’t as weak as she was yesterday. Of course, if she wanted to return to the carefree Lin Li of the past, this amount of time didn’t seem to be enough.

“Did you have a good appetite today?” It was really worrying that she had no appetite at all. &Quot; let me tell you, even if you can’t eat, even if you really don’t have an appetite, you have to at least give me some. Don’t forget that you’re not alone now. &Quot;

“I know. You’re going to be my mother soon. Even my mother isn’t as naggy as you.” Lin Li smiled in protest, seemingly in a good mood.

“I want to be your mother. I’ll scold you if you don’t eat next time.” An ran said jokingly.

&Quot; Alright, alright, there’s food. Chengxiang cooked some noodles for me just now. I ate a big bowl of it and made up for all the food I didn’t eat yesterday. &Quot; Lin Li said.

Anran didn’t say anything else. In fact, she already knew that the only person in the world who could make her eat willingly was Chengxiang, but it was good that he was willing to eat.

&Quot; by the way, when will your parents arrive? I’ll arrange some time to accompany them. &Quot; Lin Li’s parents lived in another city and were ordinary blue-collar workers. There was a summer vacation when they were in college. A few people organized a trip, and one of the destinations was Lin Li’s hometown. Lin Li’s parents were warm and honest people. When they were there, they ate and lived in Lin Li’s house. Sometimes, when he sent things to Lin Li, he would also send a few more copies and let Lin Li distribute them.

“It’ll be the day after tomorrow. Chengxiang has been taking leave for the next few days. The Cheng family will arrange the wedding, so he’ll accompany my parents to look around. You don’t have to take a special leave to accompany my parents. If you have time, come and have a meal with us. Oh right, bring your family’s Mr. Su along.” Lin Li said.

Anran was silent for a long time before she slowly said, ” Lin Li. &Quot;

“What?”

“You really don’t regret it?” Anran couldn’t help but ask.

After a long while, Lin Li said, ” “I don’t regret. It’s really not as bad as you think. Everything was just a misunderstanding. Chengxiang has stopped looking for Xiaoxiao. He promised to go back to America with her just now as an excuse to help her calm down.”

“I don’t care if it’s bad or not. You listen to me, you must be happy! Do you know that?” An ran gave her her blessings in a threatening tone.

“Yes.” On the other end of the phone, Lin Li’s voice was a little choked.

The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up.

When she got off work in the evening, she went downstairs and saw that su Yicheng’s car was already parked downstairs.

The two of them went home first, and it was only when they got out of the car that Anran noticed the two paper bags in the car.

“What is it?” An ran asked curiously, ” clothes? ”

Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; yes, I remember that the dress you wore last time seemed to have been reimbursed. &Quot;

It was only then that Anran suddenly remembered that the Shrew of the Zhang family had poured red wine on the orange gown and had forgotten to send it for dry cleaning. “Oh my God, I almost forgot.” She wanted to wear that to the party tonight.

Su Yicheng gently touched her head and took her hand. ” Let’s go. ”

In front of the mirror in the bathroom, an ran looked at the light purple dress she was wearing. It wasn’t like a typical traditional evening dress. The fabric of the dress was very soft, and it hung around her neck. The skirt wasn’t too long, and it only reached her knees. She had to admit that su Yicheng’s eyes were really sharp. The size was just right for her, as if it was tailor-made for her. It was perfect.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

The sliding door was pushed open, and she saw that su Yicheng had already changed into his suit. He looked at her with a smile and sized her up seriously. Then, he stepped forward, hugged her from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder. He looked at Anran in the mirror, shook their bodies, and said sincerely, ” “You’re so beautiful tonight.”

Anran was still not used to such straightforwardness. She lowered her head slightly with a red face and the corners of her mouth were half-curved. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to look at him. &Quot; “How did you know my size?”

Su Yicheng chuckled, and the big hand that was holding her began to wander all over her body. A devilish, husky voice sounded in her ear, ” “Just like this.” Rather than saying it, he would rather use his body to make her understand. “Do you understand?”

An ran’s face turned red, and she couldn’t say a word, as if her tongue had been taken away by a cat. He regretted asking a question he shouldn’t have. Curiosity killed the cat!

She grabbed his hand that was touching the fire. &Quot; I, I know. &Quot;

Su Yicheng buried his head in her shoulder and only stopped laughing after a while. Then, he let go of her and held her hand as they walked out of the door together.

The banquet was still held in the ‘River City hotel’. Unlike the last time, the banquet this time was set in a slightly smaller banquet hall on the third floor.

Anran took su Yicheng’s arm and walked out of the elevator. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw the big poster at the entrance of the venue: ” wishing Xudong group’s Chairman, Xiao Yingtian, 60th birthday! &Quot;

Only then did an ran know that the elder he was talking about was Xiao Yingtian.

The two of them entered through the entrance. The ball had already begun, and soft music was playing throughout the entire venue.

There were a lot of people in the venue today, not only those from the construction industry, but also many celebrities from other industries. Of course, there were also some senior officials in Jiangcheng who had the same status as su Yicheng, and they also gave Xiao Yingtian a lot of face.

This birthday banquet was basically a gathering of celebrities.

Anran looked at su Yicheng and whispered in his ear, ” “What a great display!”

Su Yicheng smiled and reached out to Pat her hand.

On the way in, people kept coming up to strike up a conversation with him. Because su Yicheng didn’t disclose the news of his marriage, many people would always ask Anran when they saw her next to him, ” Special Assistant su, this is? ”

Then, su Yicheng would always turn his head to look at Anran affectionately, then turn his head to look at that person and say, ” “She’s my wife,” Anran stood to the side and waited for the man to look over. Then, she smiled and nodded at him, showing her magnanimity.

After greeting four or five people, su Yicheng turned to look at her, brushed away the hair that had fallen off her head, and asked, ” “Are you tired?” He knew that she didn’t like and wasn’t used to such banquets. She was smiling so hard that her mouth was almost frozen.

Anran shook her head. &Quot; I’ll try my best to adapt. &Quot; He was trying his best to be a good wife because he was also a very good husband.

“Don’t force yourself. If you don’t like it, we won’t come next time, okay?” If this kind of banquet really troubled her, then he would not force her. He did not want her to put herself in a difficult position to cooperate with him.

Anran shook her head and smiled at him. &Quot; I’m not forcing myself. Because it’s you, I want to try my best to adapt. &Quot;

Su Yicheng pinched her nose and took her hand. &Quot; let’s go. &Quot;

An ran nodded and interlocked her fingers with his.

When the two of them arrived at Xiao Yingtian’s side, he was talking to someone. When she saw su Yicheng and Anran, she quickly smiled and said, ” “A-Qing, an ran, you’re here.”

“Uncle Xiao, Happy Birthday.” Su Yicheng handed Xiao Yingtian the handwritten book that he had specially found for Xiao Yingtian as a gift. &Quot; this is Guo Moruo’s handwritten book. I wish uncle Xiao good fortune and longevity. &Quot;

“President Xiao, Happy Birthday.” Anran also followed su Yicheng and congratulated him.

Only then did Xiao Yingtian reach out to take su Yicheng’s copybook. When he heard Anran’s congratulations, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Anran, and said with some disapproval, ” “Hey, why are you still calling me President Xiao?”

Anran was stunned and didn’t react for a moment. It shouldn’t be wrong to call him President Xiao! Why can’t I?

Seeing her dazed look, Su Yi whispered in her ear, ” “Call him uncle Xiao.”

Only then did an ran come to a sudden realization and congratulated him again. &Quot; “Uncle Xiao, Happy Birthday.”

Only then did Xiao Yingtian nod his head in satisfaction. &Quot; that’s more like it. &Quot; As he spoke, he reached out to open the invitation that su Yicheng had given him, and while looking at it, he couldn’t help but nod and say, ” “There are so many people’s words, but I like Guo Moruo’s words the most. Ah Zhen, you remember my preferences. He’s not like that kid, Zi Wen, who hasn’t come yet.”

“Uncle, are you talking bad about me?”

A pleasant voice came from behind him as ye Ziwen walked over to Xiao Yingtian.

&Quot; I wish my dearest uncle niannian to have today and to live until today. I wish you 60 this year and 58 tomorrow. I wish you to become younger and younger! &Quot; he said with a smile.

“You little rascal, you’re so unreliable.” Xiao Yingtian laughed and scolded him. He jokingly stretched out his hand and said, ” “Where’s my present? why are you here empty-handed?”

Ye Ziwen touched his nose and said,”As for me, I know that you don’t lack anything, uncle. Also, ah Zhen will definitely give you your favorite calligraphy and painting first, so I don’t have anything to buy, so in the end, I decided not to give you anything. It’s better to say more words of blessing than anything else, don’t you think?”

Xiao Yingtian disdainfully patted the hand that was placed on his shoulder. &Quot; you’re the one with the most twisted logic. &Quot;

Ye Ziwen smiled nonchalantly and turned to look at su Yicheng. He suddenly remembered that he had been pestered by yijiao for the past two days. She had called him more than ten or twenty times a day, and he had almost turned off his phone. “Ah Zhen, did you give my other phone number to that crazy girl yijiao? I’ve been annoyed to death by her for the past two days,” she asked. If this continued, he would collapse!

Su Yicheng chuckled and felt that yijiao really meant what she said. She really did beat him up ten or twenty times a day.

Seeing that he was smiling without saying a word, ye Ziwen knew that he had guessed it right. He said in dissatisfaction,”Hey, ah Luo, I haven’t offended you recently, have I?”

Su Yicheng still maintained the smile on his face. He pulled Anran to his side, put his arm around her waist, and said to her, ” “Anran, let me introduce you. This is ye Ziwen.”

Only then did ye Ziwen notice Anran, who was standing next to su Yicheng. With one look, he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes widened in disbelief. Gu Anran, ah Zhen’s wife in a flash marriage was actually Gu Anran!

Xiao Yingtian looked at ye Ziwen, then at su Yicheng, and then at Anran, who was a little stunned. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he patted his nephew’s shoulder and said, ” &Quot; I told you back then that Anran’s connections aren’t simple. &Quot; He was still foolishly provoking someone he shouldn’t have provoked. Su Yicheng was famous for being a Black-bellied Smiling Tiger who hid daggers behind his smile.

Although she wasn’t as shocked as ye Ziwen, Anran couldn’t help but feel surprised. She didn’t expect that the glib-tongued Eric was actually su Yicheng’s good friend, ye Ziwen!

After a long while, ye Ziwen slowly recovered from his shock. He turned his head, looked at su Yicheng, and loudly protested, ” “Ah Luo, you’re too fast!”
