Marriage First, True Love Later

“Knock, knock, knock …”

Not long after she went to work at noon, someone knocked on Anran’s door. Without looking up, he said, ” “Come in.”

Chen Cheng pushed the door open and came in. She stood in front of her and placed the drawing in her hand on Anran’s table. She said, ” &Quot; if this is a test, then the questions might be too simple for me. I’ve already found the mistakes and fixed them. In addition, I’ve also made some changes to the original design. I think my design will make the master bedroom have better lighting. &Quot;

Anran raised her head and glanced at her. She reached out to pick up the document on the table and flipped through it. Indeed, the places that she had deliberately made mistakes before were all marked out, and the design of the master bedroom and the living room were drawn in a different scale.

It looked like Huang Dexing wasn’t exaggerating this time. At least this Chen Cheng wasn’t like the previous Ling Lin, who was only an embroidered pillow that looked good but had no use. It seemed that her so-called award wasn’t just for show. However, she seemed to be a little too conceited. It was good to be confident, but overconfidence wasn’t a good thing.

She placed the drawing back on the table, looked at her, and said calmly, ” you can indeed make the lighting in the master bedroom better by modifying it like this. &Quot;

Hearing this, Chen Cheng smiled confidently, as if an ran’s answer was within her expectations.

“But,” Without waiting for her smile to completely spread, Anran pointed to the drawing on the table and continued, ” &Quot; with this layout, the lighting in the master bedroom will be better, but the lighting in the living room will be 60% dimmer. The entire living room is the front of the house, so the front is dim, and the house won’t stand out no matter how you look at it. On the other hand, with my previous design, although the master bedroom will be slightly dimmer, it won’t be darker than 30% of your modifications. After weighing the pros and cons, which one do you think is better? ”

Chen Cheng was taken aback by her words. She looked at the drawing on the table again and looked at it seriously. She had to admit that Anran was right. Although the lighting in the master bedroom was not the best, this proportion was the best overall effect.

“Any more questions?” An ran asked.

Chen Cheng raised her eyes and looked at her. She pursed her lips and shook her head.

Anran nodded. &Quot; if there’s no problem, ” she said, ” then take this modified drawing and go to the construction site to see the progress of the project. &Quot;

“I know.” Chen Cheng nodded in agreement and then turned to leave.

Now that they had moved, they were indeed much closer to the company. At night, su Yicheng didn’t need to come and pick her up. It was only a five-minute walk back. In addition, there was a large supermarket near the community, so it was quite convenient for him to go to the supermarket after work and buy the ingredients for the evening.

He carried the groceries home and went straight to the kitchen. Just as she was about to go to the bedroom to change out of the suit she was wearing today, she opened the closet in the changing room and realized that it was empty. It was also at this moment that she remembered that they had just moved the things up and placed them in the living room last night. They had not had the time to tidy up at all, and then behind them …

Thinking of last night, an ran’s face turned red again.

“Stinky su Yicheng.” He cursed in a low voice, but he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

She picked up the luggage from the living room and sorted their clothes into different categories before placing them in the closet. The wardrobe here was twice as large as the other apartment, and the clothes that they didn’t have much to begin with made the wardrobe even more empty.

Just as Anran was about to finish tidying up, she suddenly touched the bundle of bright silk fabric at the bottom of the bag. There wasn’t much fabric left in the sexy nightgown, and Anran’s small face suddenly turned red. She looked at the ball of cloth in her hand and had the urge to facepalm. Su Yicheng actually brought this sexy underwear over! Looking at this, she couldn’t help but think of their first time.

An ran’s face was as red as tomato sauce, and her whole body suddenly became hot.

“What are you looking at?” Behind her, su Yicheng was already standing at the door, looking at her with a faint smile.

“Ha! W-when did you come back?!” Anran was startled by him, and she subconsciously stuffed the sexy underwear in her hand onto the bed and covered it with the thin quilt.

“I just arrived.” Su Yicheng said lightly, then looked behind her and asked, ” “What are you hiding behind you?”

“No, no,” An ran said quickly, feeling guilty. She quickly got up and walked over to him, saying, ” “I, I bought the ingredients when I got off work, but I don’t know how to cook. You should cook dinner tonight.” As she spoke, she pushed him out of the master bedroom.

Su Yicheng laughed. He didn’t miss the bright rose-red corner of the bed that was exposed under the thin quilt, but he didn’t intend to expose her. He followed her to the kitchen and turned to look at her helplessly. He pointed at the suit he was wearing and said, ” “An ran, you have to let me change my clothes first.”

Anran stared at the suit for a long time before she looked up at him and said in a spoiled manner, ” I’m hungry. &Quot;

Su Yicheng was really a little defeated by her. He patted her head affectionately, took off his suit jacket, and let her hold it. Then, he directly put on the apron hanging in the kitchen and looked at the ingredients Anran had bought from the supermarket before getting off work on the glass counter. He quickly allocated the ingredients in his mind, thought about the dishes to be made that night, washed the pot, and did all the preparations. His movements were very skilled and meticulous.

Anran sighed softly and left the kitchen. When she walked into the living room, she happened to see a large box of documents and materials on the side. It was the books and materials that su Yicheng had packed from home yesterday for the two of them to use. She turned to look at su Yicheng, who was busy in the kitchen, and wanted to take advantage of the time he took to prepare dinner to sort out the information about the two of them and put it in the study so that it wouldn’t be a mess when she looked for them in the future.

Seeing that Anran was fiddling with the box of books and documents in the living room, su Yicheng stuck his head out of the kitchen and said, ” &Quot; Anran, leave it here first. When I’m done, I’ll move it to the study. &Quot;

“It’s fine, I can do it.” Anran refused. She couldn’t let him do everything. If she did that, she would feel useless and couldn’t do anything.

The box was quite heavy, and it took an ran a lot of effort to drag it from the living room to the study.

She panted a little, and it took a while for her to calm down. Anran took out all the books from the box and placed them on the desk. Then, she divided the books into different categories and placed them on the large bookcase behind the desk.

Then, there were some drawings she had drawn before. They were rolled up nicely and had not been broken or torn. She placed the design drawings directly into the basket. At the bottom were some documents and information, some of which were hers and some of which were his. After dividing their things, he placed them on their desks. Her documents were mainly about the works that had won awards in domestic and foreign architectural design competitions. These were all worth studying and researching.

On the other hand, su Yicheng’s documents and information were mostly official documents from the government, notices, opinions, and the like. They were all densely packed with words, and it made people have no desire to Continue reading. Anran packed up her things and placed them on his desk. She didn’t expect that such cumbersome things would be stacked up so high. The last thing she took out from the paper box was a dark yellow document bag. The opening was not sealed properly, so Anran didn’t pay attention when she took it and accidentally flipped it upside down, causing everything in the document bag to fall out, and the information inside scattered all over the floor.

Actually, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it was scattered all over the ground. There were only four or five pieces of A4 paper inside. He bent down to pick up the paper on the ground, and only after flipping it over did he see the contents clearly. It was a personnel file, and she also recognized this person. It was Tong Wenhai!

It clearly recorded some of Tong Wenhai’s situation after he started working, but it did not record his basic information before he joined the work in detail. It turned out that he wasn’t a native of Jiang city. He came to Jiang city after getting married. His hometown was a small county in the South of Zhejiang Province, and that county was Lin xiaofen’s hometown.

The file also recorded Tong Wenhai’s education situation before he started working. What made Anran feel that it was a coincidence was that the manager and process of his education were actually the same as her mother’s. Even the place where the two of them had cut the queue to go to the countryside was the same mountainous area. There was also a photo of Tong Wenhai when he was young on the file. It could be seen that he was also considered a graceful and talented person when he was young. His white shirt made him look particularly scholarly, very elegant, and handsome.

Anran, time to eat. &Quot;

Su Yicheng had already prepared dinner and called Anran out to eat.

“Uh, I’m, I’m here.” &Quot; yes, ” Anran replied. Then, she put Tong Wenhai’s file back into the folder and turned to leave the room.

Su Yicheng had already arranged dinner on the bar counter, and he handed Anran the chopsticks in his hand.

An ran thanked him in a low voice and then sat down on the high chair.

Su Yicheng’s cooking skills were really good, and the dishes he made were comparable to those of a chef in an ordinary restaurant. However, Anran didn’t have much of an appetite that night. She stirred the rice in her bowl, but she didn’t seem to lose any of it.

Su Yicheng glanced at her, then picked up her favorite piece of fried eggplant with soy sauce and put it in her bowl. Anran was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and smiled at him, but she didn’t pick up her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

Su Yicheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and called out softly, ” Anran. &Quot;

For a moment, she did not react. After being stunned for a few seconds, she raised her head and looked at him in a daze. &Quot; w-what? ”

“Didn’t you say you were hungry? Why aren’t you eating?” Su Yicheng asked as he looked at the food in her bowl.

An ran laughed dryly. &Quot; yeah, I’m so hungry. &Quot; As she said that, she quickly took a few mouthfuls of food, as if to prove that she was really hungry.

Su Yicheng looked at her for a long time, but he didn’t expose her lies. After a while, he picked up the dishes and continued eating.

After dinner, Anran took the initiative to ask to wash the dishes. Su Yicheng didn’t refuse and only nodded slightly, then he left the kitchen.

When he entered the study, he looked at the books and documents that had been sorted out and placed. He didn’t see anything wrong with them. He frowned slightly. Just as he didn’t understand why Anran’s emotions had suddenly changed, he happened to catch a glimpse of the dark yellow file on the table. He suddenly remembered what was in the file and immediately understood most of it. He opened the document bag and took out Tong Wenhai’s information. Some time ago, he had specially asked Secretary Zheng to find Tong Wenhai’s information. Later, he had taken it home after looking at it. This time, when he moved, he had coincidentally brought this document in. Anran must have just read the information.

In fact, that day, Anran had asked him to check on Tong Wenhai. There wasn’t much information in this file. It was just some extremely normal and basic information about his life. He had even specially hired someone to investigate Tong Wenhai’s past before he joined the workforce. From there, he had also found out about his past with his mother-in-law, Lin xiaofen.

There were some things and some truths that were better left unsaid. In fact, there was no point in pursuing past matters. There were some results that he didn’t want to know, so he didn’t plan on letting Anran know. As long as he was living well now, why should he care about the past?

When he came out of the study, Anran had already washed the dishes and placed them in the disinfection cabinet for disinfection. His expression was a little solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Yicheng stepped forward and hugged her from behind with a faint smile. He whispered in her ear, ” “What are you thinking about?”

Anran shook her head. &Quot; nothing. &Quot;

“I saw Tong Wenhai’s file in the study.” He carried her from the kitchen to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Anran was silent for a while before she nodded and replied, ” “Yes.”

Tong Wenhai and mom came from the same place, and they cut the queue at the same place, right? ” Su Yicheng asked deliberately.

“How did you know?” An ran was a little surprised that he even knew her mother’s information.

&Quot; didn’t you ask me to look up Tong Wenhai’s information for mom? so, before I got Tong Wenhai’s information, I looked at mom’s information. &Quot; Su Yicheng said frankly.

Anran nodded and asked in a low voice, ” then, do you think mom and Tong Wenhai … &Quot;

“A couple?” Su Yicheng finished her unfinished sentence.

Anran nodded. Every time she saw her mother’s excitement when she saw Tong Wenhai, she thought that the relationship between her mother and Tong Wenhai must have been complicated.

“So what if I am? isn’t this normal?” Su Yicheng looked at her and asked.

Anran was stunned. That’s right. Even if they were a couple, there was nothing abnormal about them breaking up in the end. They came from the same place, and they might even be classmates. They might even be in the same place when they went to the countryside to jump in line. After spending so much time together, it was not strange for them to develop feelings for each other. Everything was normal, wasn’t it? But, but she still felt that something was strange. Even if a man and a woman met again after they had broken up, her mother should not be so afraid. She always felt that her mother was hiding something from her, and this seemed to have something to do with her.

Seeing that she was lost in her thoughts, su Yicheng softly called out, ” Anran? ”

Anran came back to her senses and shook her head lightly. She smiled at him. &Quot; nothing. &Quot;

Su Yicheng looked at her for a long time, then sighed softly and said, ” Anran, the matters of parents are the matters of the elders. Whether it’s feelings or other things, it’s not good for us to get involved. Right and wrong are not for us to judge. &Quot; So, let’s not worry about things that we shouldn’t be involved in, okay?”

Anran looked at him for a while. In fact, su Yicheng was right. No matter what kind of relationship Tong Wenhai had with her mother in the past, or why things had become like this, none of it mattered, and it wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, her mother and father were living well now, and everyone was doing well. That was enough.

“Yes.” She looked at him and nodded heavily. &Quot; I understand. &Quot;

Seeing this, Su Yi was finally relieved. He touched her hair affectionately and pinched her small and delicate nose.

Anran withdrew from his arms, her gloominess gone. &Quot; I’m going to take a shower first. &Quot;

Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; go ahead. &Quot; After watching her disappear behind the door, su Yicheng got up and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet. He took a glass and poured himself a glass.

He walked to the balcony with the wine in his hand. The apartment was located on the most prosperous Street in the center of River City. One could have a panoramic view of the entire River City. Su Yicheng smacked his lips and looked at the neon lights of the entire city. Such a night was indeed beautiful. His phone rang. It was Mayor Ling. He didn’t need to answer to know what Mayor Ling wanted to say.

Today, Mayor Ling had called him, saying that he wanted him to go to the hospital to see Ling LAN. He said that Ling LAN had used a hunger strike to force him to see her, but he had rejected it. He didn’t have the responsibility to pay for her willfulness and lack of self-respect.

The phone rang for a long time, but su Yicheng still chose to pick it up in the end. He didn’t have the habit of avoiding things. He always believed that when it came to matters, especially relationships, he couldn’t be sloppy or ambiguous. When it came to things that should be made clear, he shouldn’t avoid them.

“Hello, Mayor Ling,” Su Yicheng picked up the phone and spoke in his normal tone.

&Quot; Chen, can you come to the hospital? Ling LAN really wants to see you. &Quot; Mayor Ling’s voice seemed to have aged a lot, and his tone was pleading.

“Mayor Ling, I’m sorry, but I won’t be going. If a person’s life is not something he is willing to cherish, then even if I go this time, what about next time? What about the next time? I don’t want to be entangled in this issue anymore. After all, I’m a married man and I have to be responsible for my wife. I will consciously keep a certain distance from other women.” Su Yicheng said calmly without a trace of warmth.

“Ah Luo, even if uncle Ling is begging you, Yingluo hasn’t eaten anything for a day.” Although he had initially said that he wanted to cut off all father-daughter ties, she was still his biological daughter. This time, when su Yicheng called to say that Ling LAN had committed suicide, he had almost lost his old life from the shock. Now, seeing his daughter lying on the hospital bed without a drop of water in her body, her entire face pale and bloodless, how could he not feel heartache?

&Quot; uncle Ling, I’m really sorry. I no longer have anything to do with Ling LAN. I won’t visit her. If she insists on doing this, then I can only feel sorry for her. &Quot; Su Yicheng refused decisively and said, ” I’m sorry, uncle Ling. Anran called me. Also, I would like to ask uncle Ling to stop calling me about Ling LAN. I don’t want Mijia to have any misunderstandings about this. &Quot; Then, without waiting for him to reply, she hung up the phone.

He raised his head and finished the wine in his glass. After standing on the balcony for a while, su Yicheng went straight back into the house and put the glass into the sink. When he returned to the bedroom, Anran happened to be drying her hair and rushing out of the bathroom. Because she had just taken a shower, her entire body was still slightly pink, and she looked very beautiful.

Anran flipped through a magazine while drying her hair. Su Yicheng looked at her with a faint smile on his lips. He didn’t look good, but he felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart when he saw her sitting here. He reached out and took the towel from her hand, taking over her work. &Quot; let me do it. &Quot;

Grabbing his hand, Anran turned her head and sniffed his body. Then, with her hands on her waist, she looked at him unhappily and said with a serious face, ” “Special Assistant su, you’re drinking again. Don’t you know that your stomach disease is not good?”

Su Yicheng sniffed himself and indeed smelled a faint scent of alcohol, but it was just a little faint. “I only drank a little,” he said with a chuckle.

Anran stared at him for a long time before she pulled the towel back from his hand. She got up and took out a change of pajamas from the closet. She handed it to him and said seriously, ” go and wash off the smell of alcohol on your body. If you can still smell it, you’re not allowed to go to bed at night! &Quot;

Su Yicheng chuckled, but he still obediently took the change of clothes from her hands and turned to enter the bathroom.

Anran was leisurely drying her hair while reading a lame joke in a gossip magazine. So, when su Yicheng came out of the bathroom again, he saw Anran sitting in front of the dressing table with her hair half-dry, laughing at a magazine from time to time.

Su Yicheng hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, ” “What are you looking at?”

Anran chuckled and pointed at a cold joke on the magazine. &Quot; look, this joke is really cold, ” she said.

Su Yicheng, who was behind her, didn’t care whether the cold joke was cold or funny. At the moment, he had another matter to attend to, so he really didn’t have the time to read it. His lips gently blew into her ear, and his large hands began to roam around her body unscrupulously, setting her phone on fire everywhere.

An ran suddenly grabbed his hand, swallowed, and said, ” “What are you doing?”

Su Yicheng chuckled, raised his hand slightly, and broke free from her hand. He slowly kissed down her neck, and as he made intimate contact with her skin, he said, ” &Quot; mother said she wants to have a grandson. &Quot;

“We, we have to let nature take its course,” Anran wriggled in his arms. This man’s stamina was too good. He had just had a rough time last night, and now he was doing it again. It was one thing that he had good stamina, but the problem was that it depended on whether her stamina could keep up!

&Quot; I think mom’s right. It’s mainly because I’m not working hard enough! &Quot; Su Yicheng said lazily as he gently kissed the soft flesh on her ear.

An ran wanted to roll her eyes. He wasn’t working hard enough! There was no other couple who had such strong desires like them. They had sex for almost a week without stopping!

Anran was about to turn her head and protest, but before she could say anything, he swallowed it all into his stomach, and then she couldn’t say a word.

When she woke up, the man next to her was long gone. The sunlight from outside the window seeped in through the gap in the curtains, and Anran still felt extremely sleepy. However, she looked at the alarm clock on the bedside. The time on it reminded her that if she didn’t get up soon, she would probably be late for work no matter how close she lived.

She lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed, but she was so sore that she didn’t have any strength.

Anran couldn’t sit up, so she sat back down on the bed. Anran scolded him in a low voice, ” “Damn su Yicheng!”

In the end, it took her a lot of effort to get out of bed and go to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Her legs were still trembling. When she stood in front of the bathroom mirror again, an ran’s eyes suddenly widened. The hickeys on her chest told everyone how intense their sex was last night! This wasn’t even the most hateful thing. Su Yicheng actually, actually planted ‘hickeys’ on her neck. Those red marks looked so ambiguous, and there was more than one of them!

Staring at the woman in the mirror, who was covered in hickeys, Anran felt like crying. How was she supposed to go out? it was almost summer, and everyone was getting cooler and cooler. Was she supposed to go out in such a hot day with a scarf wrapped around her like a dumpling?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. In the bathroom, Anran shouted angrily, ” “Su Yicheng!”

“What’s wrong?” Upon hearing her voice, su Yicheng hurriedly came in from outside, still wearing an apron. It was obvious that he had just been busy preparing breakfast for the two of them in the kitchen, but when he heard her call out from the room, he quickly turned off the fire and ran over. But …

She swallowed her saliva with some difficulty. However, wasn’t her current image a little too stimulating? didn’t she know that men were always especially excited in the morning?

At this moment, an ran had just taken a shower and came out with a bath towel wrapped around her. A large area of her snow-white chest was exposed, and her slender long legs were even more attractive.

Anran didn’t seem to realize it. She stared at him angrily with her big eyes and pointed at her neck. &Quot; tell me, how do you expect me to get out of here? ”

Su Yicheng managed to restrain his gaze with great difficulty and only stared at the area above her neck. Seeing the ‘hickeys’ on her neck that he had planted last night, he touched his nose, coughed lightly, and said, ” &Quot; ahem, we’re all adults and we all know that you’re married. We should, should understand. &Quot;

“You, what kind of logic is this!” Anran was so anxious that she was about to cry. Did she really have to wear a scarf to work? that would be a blatant lie.

She was a little agitated, so agitated that su Yicheng was a little worried about the bath towel around her. If it weren’t for the fact that time didn’t allow it, he wouldn’t have kindly reminded her, ” Anran, do you want to change first? ”

Anran froze and looked down at the tottering bath towel on her body. After a while, she said, ” ah, you pervert! &Quot;
