Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 113
Su Yicheng was sitting in a small conference room with a few people from the bidding office discussing the bidding for the technology City project. Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang at this time. It was an unknown number. He hung up the call and looked up at the people sitting there. He said, ” “I want to know what everyone thinks.”
&Quot; I think we should choose a capable construction company in the city. After all, they have the ability and the quality is guaranteed. We’re not afraid of anything but jerry-built building! &Quot; A slightly chubby middle-aged man said.
“I don’t think so.” The other man disagreed, ” &Quot; I don’t think we should just look at the company’s reputation. If that’s the case, what’s the point of holding the bidding? we can just call the bosses of those companies together and distribute a few projects to each of them. Wouldn’t that be easier? ”
“Then, what do you think, director Zhang?” The man asked in return, his tone harsh.
The man who was called director Zhang looked at him and said, ” &Quot; in my opinion, this bidding must be fair and just. Don’t forget your own principles just because of a few cups of wine and a meal. Whoever has the ability will go up, if there’s no relationship or recommendation! &Quot; His tone was firm, and he was clearly pointing at someone else.
“What do you mean by this? don’t make such an accusation!” The man looked at him excitedly. He was about to continue when he was stopped by a sudden knock on the door.
Secretary Zheng knocked on the door and came in with a slightly solemn expression on his face. He walked straight to su Yicheng’s ear and whispered a few words, only to see su Yicheng’s expression change drastically. The smile on his lips that was originally full of meaning disappeared, and he suddenly stood up and said in a low voice, ” that’s all for today. Let’s discuss it tomorrow. &Quot; Then, he grabbed the phone on the table and strode out of the meeting room without even cleaning up the documents and materials on the table.
The people sitting there were so stunned that they couldn’t react in time. They all turned their heads and looked at Secretary Zheng strangely.
Secretary Zheng tidied up the documents that su Yicheng had left behind on the table, glanced at them, and explained, ” someone called and said that Deputy city chief SU’s lover had an accident and is now in the city Hospital. &Quot;
Su Yicheng didn’t even return to his office. Instead, he left the meeting room and went downstairs without even packing his briefcase.
He took out his cell phone and returned the missed call. The phone was picked up after two rings. “Hello,” he said.
Su Yicheng was stunned. He was a little surprised that the person who had just called him was Zhou han, and even more surprised that he was with Anran.
However, su Yicheng quickly regained his composure and asked, ” “How is an ran? where are you?”
&Quot; we’re at the city Hospital. Anran is still in the emergency Center. &Quot; Zhou han said in a deep voice.
“I know.” Without saying anything else, he hung up and found his car in the parking lot. After getting in, he started the car and drove in the direction of chasu City Hospital.
Lin Li was a little restless as she stood outside the emergency Center. Right now, she was very flustered. Judging from Anran’s expression just now, if she guessed correctly, Anran was probably pregnant. However, after the fall just now and Anran’s pained expression, she was a little worried that the child would not be able to be saved. Because she had experienced it before, she knew all too well how fragile a child was at this time.
The more he thought about it, the more worried and afraid he became. He looked at the child sitting alone on the plastic stool with his head lowered. He was very angry, but he knew that he could not do anything to the child.
At this moment, Zhou han, who had hung up the phone, came in from outside. When he saw him, Lin Li’s anger flared up. She stepped forward and pointed at him, scolding, ” “How are you teaching the child? how can you let him push people so casually? children can be said to be mischievous and playful, but how do you teach them as parents? can’t you teach them what he can and can’t play? Now that you’re out here pushing people around at such a young age, are you going to commit murder and arson when you grow up?” Lin Li glared at him fiercely. She was so angry that she couldn’t help but tremble.
Zhou han looked at her and knew that he was in the wrong. He said apologetically, ” “I didn’t educate my child well, I’m very sorry!”
“Hmph,” he snorted. Lin Li snorted coldly. &Quot; if an apology is useful, then I can’t even go to jail for murder! &Quot; She glared at him. &Quot; if anything happens to Zian, I’ll see how you’re going to take responsibility! &Quot; After saying that, she turned around and walked to the side angrily, not looking at him.
Zhou han glanced at her, turned around, and walked towards Xiao bin, who was sitting on the plastic stool. He stood in front of him and asked coldly, ” “Why did you do that?”
The little thing looked up at him timidly, her teeth biting her lips tightly. Her dark eyes stared at him, but she did not say a word.
Zhou han looked at him and when he didn’t answer, he shouted at him, ” “Answer me! I’m asking you a question!”
Because of fear, the little guy trembled violently and tears fell immediately. His teeth still clenched his lips tightly as he looked at him timidly, not letting himself cry out loud.
Not to mention the child, even Lin Li was shocked by his roar, and her heart was beating very fast.
Zhou han didn’t feel sorry for the child’s tears at all. His face turned uglier than before and he said sternly, ” &Quot; Zhou Jiabin, I’ll ask you again. Why did you push someone on purpose? ”
The little guy shrank back in fear and looked at him timidly. Then, he said, ” “It’s … It’s mommy. Mommy wanted me to push Auntie!”
Only after he loosened his mouth did Lin Li see that his thin lower lip had been bitten to the point of bleeding. It could be seen how afraid he was! Such a young child, it made one’s heart ache just by looking at her.
Upon hearing that, Zhou han closed his eyes in pain. His hands were clenched tightly by his sides as if he was restraining some kind of emotion! After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at her son in front of her. &Quot; come here, ” she said. Although his tone was much gentler than before, it still sounded very stern.
The little guy was obviously afraid of him. He backed away and did not take a step forward.
Upon seeing this, Zhou han stepped forward and reached out to pull him, but Lin Li, who was behind him, blocked him first.
Lin Li thought he was going to hit the child, so she stood in front of the child and said to Zhou han, ” “You, how can you be like this? how can you teach your child like this? Don’t you know that it’s illegal to abuse people in China?” This person was simply too barbaric. The child had to be taught when he was wrong, but he couldn’t be beaten or scolded!
Zhou han knew that she had misunderstood. Just as he was about to explain, the door of the emergency room behind him opened and the doctor came out first. He pulled off the mask he was wearing and said, ” “Gu Anran, that’s Gu Anran’s family.”
Hearing this, Lin Li rushed forward and grabbed the doctor’s white coat excitedly. She said, ” “I, I, I, I’m gu Anran’s friend. Doctor, how is Anran? Are you alright?”
Zhou han also turned around and looked at the doctor with a heavy expression.
The doctor patted Lin Li’s hand, indicating for her to let go of him. He said, ” “Don’t get too excited, don’t get too excited. Fortunately, you guys came in time. The force of the impact was blocked by her hand, so it’s weakened a lot. There’s no relationship between an adult and a child, so she’s fine now. However, for safety reasons, she still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. I’ll ask the nurse to transfer the patient to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department later.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Li heaved a sigh of relief and let go of the clothes she was holding. She muttered softly, ” it’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine. &Quot; He didn’t forget to thank the doctor, ” “Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor.”
The doctor smiled at her and said before he left, ” “The patient needs to rest now. When you go in later, be careful not to get too excited and disturb the patient’s rest.”
Lin Li quickly nodded. &Quot; yes, yes. Okay. &Quot;
When su Yicheng rushed over, Anran and the others had already disappeared from the emergency Center. He quickly called Zhou han, only to find out that Anran had already been transferred to the ward on the eighth floor.
When su Yicheng rushed to the ward again, he saw Zhou han standing at the door of the ward with his back against the wall, and Zhou Jiabin standing beside him with his head lowered. Noticing that someone was coming over, she turned her head and happened to meet su Yicheng’s eyes.
Su Yicheng walked over to him and stared at him without blinking. After a while, he asked, ” “How’s Anran?”
Zhou han looked at him and said, it’s fine.
Su Yicheng nodded, and his heart was also at ease because of his two words. He didn’t say anything more to him, and just as he was about to push open the door and enter, Zhou Han’s faint voice came from behind him.
“Congratulations.”
Su Yicheng turned his head in confusion, frowning slightly. He was a little confused and confused by his congratulations.
Zhou han smiled faintly. From his expression, it was obvious that he didn’t know. He just smiled faintly and said, ” The doctor said Anran is pregnant. &Quot;
Su Yicheng’s eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at him for a long time before he hurriedly opened the door and went in.
In the ward, Anran had already woken up and was talking to Lin Li in a half-lying position. The two of them were just talking happily when the door was suddenly opened. Su Yicheng rushed in from the outside and strode over to Anran, his eyes fixed on her.
Although Lin Li had never met su Yicheng before, she could guess his identity. She turned her head and glanced at Anran, only to see Anran looking at him affectionately. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she stood up and left the room.
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just stared at her, his eyes fixed on her stomach.
Anran was the first to snap out of her daze. She smiled and called him softly, ” Yicheng. &Quot; Then she reached out her hand to him, waiting for him to hold her hand.
Only then did su Yicheng react. He reached out to hold her outstretched hand and sat down on the edge of the bed. His other hand gently reached under the quilt and touched her still-flat lower abdomen. His eyes were still fixed on her, and his large palm was warm. He gently caressed and touched it, as if he was touching a precious treasure, afraid that he would break it if he used a little force. She lowered her head and looked at the hand that was wriggling under the blanket. After a while, she asked, ” really? ” His voice was extremely low and even a little hoarse. His tone was filled with disbelief and disbelief.
“It’s true!” Anran nodded heavily, a smile on her lips, but the tip of her nose suddenly felt a little sour. Her eyes suddenly became hot, and tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. There was no pain, no discomfort, but tears of happiness. They were tears of joy and happiness.
Only then did su Yicheng raise his head. Seeing the smile on her face, he withdrew his hand, leaned forward, cupped her face, and kissed away the tears on her face. Then, he finally pressed his lips on her red lips. Unlike his usual passion and depth, this time, su Yicheng only pressed his lips lightly against hers, and his lips pressed against hers. He still seemed to be in disbelief, and he asked softly, ” Anran, we really have a child? ”
Anran raised her hand and touched his hair. She couldn’t help but smile and nod gently. &Quot; yes, the doctor said it’s almost two months. We were so careless that we didn’t notice. &Quot;
“He’s indeed very careless.” Su Yicheng murmured and hugged her for a while before letting her go. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed her hand, and his brows furrowed slightly. He reached out to take her hand and gently stroked her bandaged elbow, then asked, ” “How did you do it?”
&Quot; I accidentally fell. Fortunately, I blocked it with my hand. That’s the weight when I landed. &Quot; Anran said calmly. Now that she thought about it, she still felt a little scared. If she hadn’t instinctively grabbed the car when she fell and used her hand to support herself from the ground, she wouldn’t have dared to imagine what the consequences would have been if she had just fallen and sat down!
Su Yicheng grabbed her hand and looked at it. Although the wound was wrapped in gauze, the skin around her elbow was also scratched, and there were traces of blood. He looked at su Yicheng and frowned again, then looked up at Anran and asked softly, ” “Does it still hurt?”
Anran shook her head. &Quot; I’m not that delicate. It’s just a scratch. It doesn’t hurt. &Quot; The current outcome was much better than he had imagined. As long as the child was around, the pain was nothing but a superficial wound.
Su Yicheng stared at his hands for a while before he finally let her go. He reached out to lift the blanket covering her body, then stared at her stomach without blinking. Finally, he slowly leaned down and gently placed his ears on her stomach, listening carefully as if he could really hear something. He didn’t move for a long time, then rubbed his face against her stomach and whispered, ” do you think the baby can feel it? ”
&Quot; hehe … &Quot; Anran chuckled, and her face was filled with happiness. She reached out to comb his hair and said with amusement, ” why is he like a child? it’s not even two months yet, and it hasn’t even taken shape yet. How can she feel it? ”
Su Yicheng suddenly raised his head and stared at her.
Anran was taken aback by his stare and asked, ” what’s wrong? ”
Anran, do you think our baby is a boy or a girl? ” After looking at it for a long time, su Yicheng finally managed to squeeze out this sentence.
Anran couldn’t help but sneer. They said that the IQ of a woman in love was zero, but from what she could see now, the IQ of this man who had become a father was simply a negative number, let alone zero. Su Yicheng used to be such a rational and wise person, always able to look at problems from a point of view that others might have overlooked, and then make the right judgment on everything. However, looking at him now, he didn’t have any of his usual shrewdness. He was like a child, asking irrelevant questions.
She looked at him with a smile and asked, ” “Do you want a boy or a girl?”
“Of course it’s a girl!” Su Yicheng quickly answered, almost without any hesitation.
Looking at him, Anran pretended to be angry and said in dissatisfaction, ” “Hmph, I think you just can’t forget your little lover!”
Su Yicheng was stunned and looked at her strangely. For a long time, he didn’t react. What little lover? how could he have a little lover?
Anran deliberately poked him with her hand and mumbled, ” &Quot; they’re both father’s lovers in his previous life. Tell me, do you like your daughter so much? isn’t it because you want to get your little lover back? ”
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng laughed out loud, then pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, ” “I like my little lover’s mother more.”
“Pfft.” Anran sneered and pushed his shoulder with her hand. &Quot; “Leader su, you’re very hardcore!”
Su Yicheng only smiled as he stroked her short hair back and forth. After a long while, he whispered in her ear, ” &Quot; Anran, thank you! &Quot; Thank you for being willing to bear his child, thank you for giving him so many wonderful experiences. He would cherish the happiness he had now.
Anran shook her head and leaned quietly in his arms, her hands circling around his thin waist. She should be the one thanking him. When she had no expectations for marriage, he was the one who gave her the most considerate and true warmth, making her feel that happiness could be so simple. She didn’t need to be dramatic; life was all about being ordinary.
The two of them embraced each other tightly, enjoying the peace and tranquility of this moment.
When su Yicheng came out of the room again, almost an hour had passed. Anran felt a little sleepy. Su Yicheng watched as she lay down, then got up and went out to buy some food so that Anran could have something to eat when she woke up.
When su Yicheng opened the door and came out, Lin Li was about to knock on the door and enter. Seeing him come out, Lin Li leaned over and looked into the room, then asked in a low voice, ” “An Zi is asleep?”
Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; I just fell asleep. &Quot;
Lin Li nodded in understanding. She lifted the porridge and side dishes that had just been brought in from outside and pursed her lips. &Quot; I wanted her to eat before she could rest. It seems that we can only wait until she wakes up. &Quot; As she spoke, she handed the things in her hand to su Yicheng and said, ” &Quot; I’ll leave it to you then. When an Zi wakes up later, heat the food in boiling water and give it to her. &Quot;
Su Yicheng reached out to take it, nodded at her, and said, ” thank you. &Quot; No wonder Anran saw her as her best friend. She had already noticed something that even he, as her husband, had not expected.
&Quot; I’m the one who should be thanking you. Anran hid you so well that we never had the chance to meet. Now that we finally meet, I’m really grateful for your help last time and this time. Thank you! &Quot; Lin Li was very sincere. She was truly grateful.
Su Yicheng smiled faintly and simply said, ” it’s nothing. It’s no big deal. Besides, you’re Anran’s friend, so you’re my friend as well. &Quot;
Lin Li looked at him for a long time, then said with some emotion, ” “An Zi is lucky to have met you.”
“It’s my luck to meet an ran.” Su Yicheng said lightly. He pointed to the long bench placed against the wall. &Quot; sit down and talk. &Quot;
Lin Li nodded and sat down. She said with some emotion, ” maybe it’s destined that the hardships and setbacks you two went through in the past were all for the sake of your future encounter. &Quot;
“It’s not just us, everyone’s the same.” Su Yicheng sat down next to her and said pointedly, ”
Lin Li glanced at him and turned her face away, not responding to his words.
Su Yicheng knew that she understood him, but the wound was too deep for it to heal so easily. He didn’t elaborate on this topic and only asked, ” “Can you tell me what happened today?” Why was an ran injured? And why did she come over with Zhou han?
&Quot; actually, it’s nothing much. In the afternoon, Anran helped me pack my things and had me move to the apartment you used to live in. After she finished packing, she told me that it was almost five o ‘clock. I was about to rush back to the hospital, and Anran was about to rush home to cook for you. Just as we were about to get into the car, a child suddenly called Anran from behind. Anran recognized the child, so she greeted him and spoke to him for a while, but unexpectedly, the child suddenly reached out and gave Anran a hard push. An ran wasn’t prepared at all. After being pushed, she took a few steps back before falling to the ground.” Lin Li told the truth and suddenly said with some emotion, ” “But thank the heavens, everything is fine.”
Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, ” what child? ”
&Quot; I don’t know how he raised that child just now. He’s so young, but he was pushed away. &Quot; Lin Li said a little angrily. Thinking of Zhou Han’s appearance, she couldn’t help but shake her head. She thought to herself, how could a father who only knew how to yell at people and even wanted to hit people be a good father?
Su Yicheng frowned and whispered to himself, ” “Why would they go there?”
“They don’t live there? I saw the child run out of the building.” Lin Li looked at him, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng turned his head to look at her, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked, ” when you met the child, did you also meet a woman? ”
“A woman?” Lin Li frowned and said, ” the child ran here alone. There was no woman by his side. However, he kept looking back at something. &Quot; Speaking of which, we did meet one when we were waiting for the elevator. Her surname was Ling, and I could tell that she was quite hostile to Anzi!”
Su Yicheng sneered and nodded. He thought that she now knew why the child suddenly pushed Anran on purpose.
Lin Li suddenly thought of something and quickly said, ” Oh right, I remember now. When the man asked the child, the child said that it was his mother who told him to do this! &Quot; Lin Li couldn’t help but shake her head. &Quot; Oh my God, what kind of parents are they? how can they educate their children like this? ”
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng was even more certain of his guess. The person who had incited the child to push Anran couldn’t be anyone else but Ling LAN! She was really becoming more and more unrecognizable to him!
