Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 134 - Pregnancy reaction
The dinner party that day came to an abrupt end because of Yan Li’s appearance and Ling Chuanjiang’s disappearance. In the end, everyone said a few words of blessing to Secretary Zhang before leaving hastily. Su Yicheng was called directly into the study by Secretary Zhang, while Anran was dragged to the living room by Madam Zhang for a chat.
In the study, Secretary Zhang stood with his hands behind his back and looked out of the window, while su Yicheng stood a few steps behind him. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
The moon tonight was very beautiful and bright. The crescent moon was dotted with some Starlight, making it a little cold and beautiful.
After standing there for a long time, Secretary Zhang sighed and said slowly, ” in a few years, he will retire. Why bother? ” His tone was heavy, and there was an indescribable kind of annoyance.
“He doesn’t think so.” Su Yicheng only replied indifferently.
Secretary Zhang turned around and looked at him. &Quot; “I know you’re angry at him for setting you up last time.”
“The materials I handed over are all real, there’s nothing fake.” Su Yicheng explained, ” uncle Zhang, it doesn’t mean that if I don’t provoke others, they won’t provoke me. Sometimes, power is such a tempting thing. He’s afraid that I’ll hinder his interests, so he’s trying to get rid of me. I can’t just stand there and wait for others to kill me. &Quot;
Secretary Zhang looked at him and finally shook his head. &Quot; forget it. &Quot; He had worked with Ling Chuanjiang for so long. It could be said that Ling Chuanjiang had been brought up by him. He naturally knew some of Ling Chuanjiang’s ways of dealing with people. In fact, he also knew some of Ling Chuanjiang’s mistakes. He had even looked for Ling Chuanjiang to talk about ideological work before. After all, it had not been easy for anyone for so many years.
“Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling”
The phone in Secretary Zhang’s study rang at this time. He looked at the caller ID, then at su Yicheng, who was standing there, and sighed before picking up the phone. It was a call from Madam Ling.
Su Yicheng glanced at him, nodded at him, and simply said, ” “Uncle Zhang, I’ll go back first.”
Secretary Zhang only nodded and waved at him.
When she came out again, Anran and Mrs. Zhang were having a good time in the living room. Mrs. Zhang was holding Anran’s hand and patting it gently. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they were very happy.
Seeing su Yicheng come out, Mrs. Zhang looked at su Yicheng and laughed, ” &Quot; you, ah Luo, only know how to hide your wife. If I didn’t insist that you bring Anran here today, would you still be hiding her for me? ”
&Quot; no, an ran is shy and shy. &Quot; Su Yicheng walked over to them with a smile.
&Quot; damn, Anran and I had a good chat. We hit it off at first sight. &Quot; Mrs. Zhang even turned her head to look at Anran and asked, ” “Anran, don’t you agree?”
&Quot; yes, ” Anran said, nodding with a smile. &Quot; I feel like we’re old friends at first sight. &Quot;
Su Yicheng touched his nose uninterestedly and muttered in his heart, I wonder who was the one who pulled me aside on the way here and asked me about Auntie Zhang’s personality, whether she’s easy to talk to, whether she’s kind, and so on.
After seeing su Yicheng and Anran out of the courtyard, Mrs. Zhang was still a little reluctant to part with them. Perhaps it was because she didn’t have a child, but the house was cold and quiet all day long, and there wasn’t any real excitement.
He took an ran’s hand, unwilling to let her go, and said, ” &Quot; Anran, why don’t you two stay for the night? there are many rooms in the house anyway. &Quot;
Anran looked at her with a smile and said, ” “Auntie, I’ll come and visit you again in the future.”
Mrs. Zhang was a little disappointed, but she could only nod. He also repeatedly reminded them to drive carefully and slowly.
Sitting in the car, Anran looked at him and couldn’t help but ask, ” what does Mayor Ling have to do with you? ” She had clearly heard Ling Chuanjiang say ‘you win’ just now. At that time, there was no one else around, so he was obviously saying this to su Yicheng.
Su Yicheng turned his head and glanced at her, then turned back to continue looking at the road ahead. He only nodded slightly and said, ” “I handed over the materials.”
Anran nodded. She was silent for a moment before she turned her head to look out of the car window. She muttered to herself, ” is this how politics work? if he wants to frame someone, you can expose the past. In any case, no one can live in peace. &Quot;
Su Yicheng chuckled and shook his head. He knew that she was overthinking things again. He reached out a hand to hold her hand in pain. Without turning his head, he asked, ” “Are you thinking nonsense again?”
Anran turned her head to look at him and held his hand tightly. &Quot; you exposed him today. Will someone expose you tomorrow? ” Will it be like the last time?” She realized that she had become more emotional after she got pregnant. She would worry about anything at any time.
Su Yicheng was a little defeated by her. He glanced at her and knew that if he didn’t answer her now, she would continue to let her imagination run wild the entire way. He simply parked the car to the side, took her hand to carefully examine it, and gently kissed it. Then, he looked up at her and asked, ” Anran, am I such an unprincipled person in your eyes? ”
Anran shook her head and looked at him in confusion. She knew from the beginning that he was excellent, and she had never doubted it.
“Then why do you still think that someone will expose me or frame me?” As he said this, su Yicheng pinched her nose affectionately.
“I, I’m just afraid it’ll be the same as last time.” Looking at him, Anran muttered in a low voice.
“Silly girl.” His big palm ruffled her hair. &Quot; they were the ones who deliberately found trouble and framed me the last time. There was no such thing. I have never let go of any mistakes in my principles. We don’t have to be afraid at all. The investigation team would also have to investigate based on the clues provided. No one would rashly make a judgment based on materials alone. Investigations and other things are still necessary.”
“Really?” An ran wasn’t sure, and she looked at him, half-awake and half-suspicious.
“Of course it’s true,” Su Yicheng gave her an affirmative answer, then reached out to touch her face and said, ” &Quot; Anran, trust me. What happened last time was an accident. After that lesson, I won’t make the same mistake again and let others take advantage of it. &Quot;
Anran looked at him seriously. After a while, she finally nodded and muttered in a low voice, ” actually, I know and believe everything, but I still can’t help but let my thoughts run wild. &Quot;
Su Yicheng reached out and pulled her into his arms. He patted her gently and whispered in her ear, ” I know, I know everything. &Quot;
“Yes.” An ran hugged him back with a little more strength.
Sometimes, the news media was such a powerful group. Even if the news was blocked in many ways, they always had the ability to dig out the news. A few days later, the Jiang city Metropolis Daily fully exposed the matter of Ling Chuanjiang being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even the progress of the investigation, where Ling Chuanjiang used his official position to accept bribes of nearly 5 million Yuan, which also involved many capable enterprises, was exposed to the entire city.
Su Yicheng was still busy with Technology City, and the bidding for the various projects in Technology City was gradually on the right track, so he wasn’t always so busy that he couldn’t see anyone.
However, su Yicheng gradually relaxed. Anran’s pregnancy reaction, which had not been very obvious, suddenly became more intense. She had no appetite, and she vomited badly when she smelled something. Originally, aunt Zhang came once every three days, but because of Anran’s serious pregnancy reaction and su Yicheng’s work, aunt Zhang had to come over every day to take care of her.
Qin Yun and Lin xiaofen would still send her some chicken soup the next day. Previously, it was quite good to drink chicken soup, but now, as soon as she smelled the smell, she couldn’t stand it anymore. She directly ran to the bathroom and vomited again. This scared Qin Yun and Lin xiaofen so much that they didn’t dare to send her more soup. Qin Yun had heard from somewhere that pigeon eggs were good for pregnant women, so after she stopped sending soup, she would always send a bag of pigeon eggs over every few days. Then, she would chat with Anran for a long time. Because su Yicheng was busy with work, and Anran was worried about letting her go out alone, Lin xiaofen would cook Anran’s favorite food from time to time and bring it to her.
Pregnancy could really change a person’s taste. She couldn’t stand the taste of the food she used to like. She always wanted to eat the food she didn’t like in the past. However, it was still not as much as his appetite. His mouth was light, and no matter what he ate, it was tasteless. She ate less and vomited more. In this way, an ran didn’t gain any weight in a week. Instead, she lost a few pounds. Su Yicheng frowned as he looked at her, and his heart ached for her.
That night, when su Yicheng came back from a dinner party, Anran was already asleep. She was lying on her side on the bed with her eyes closed and her hand on his pillow.
He looked at her face that had obviously become thinner in the past few years. Her chin had become sharp. He reached out and touched her face with a little heartache. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Then, he gently lifted the thin blanket covering her body and placed his large palm on her lower abdomen. He gently stroked it back and forth and said in a low voice, ” &Quot; baby, don’t torture mommy. Daddy’s heart will ache. &Quot; As he spoke, he bent down and put his ear on her lower abdomen. He continued softly, ” “You have to eat properly now. You can’t be picky. When you come out in the future, I’ll buy you a lot of delicious food.”
&Quot; hehe … &Quot; laughter came from above su Yicheng’s head. It was a little crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Su Yicheng raised his head and saw that Anran had already woken up. She was looking at him with her eyes wide open and a smile on her face. He got up and leaned over to kiss her on the lips. After a while, he let go of her and reached out to comb her slightly messy hair. “Did I wake you up?” he said apologetically in a soft voice.
Anran chuckled and shook her head. She turned to look at the time, then looked at him again and said with a little heartache, ” “It’s so late again.”
He didn’t reply to her, nor did he take a shower and change his clothes. He took off his shoes, socks, and suit jacket, went straight to the bed, and pulled her into his arms, letting her rest on his chest. He lowered his head and kissed the center of her hair.”Did you vomit badly today?”
Leaning in his arms, Anran nodded and slowly closed her eyes. She felt an indescribable sense of peace in her heart. She suddenly thought of something and chuckled. She reached out and patted his chest in a bad mood, saying, ” “Hmph, it’s all your fault. I’m in this state because of your ‘little lover’.” She was afraid of hurting him, so she didn’t hit him too hard.
Su Yicheng chuckled and hugged her even tighter. He took the initiative to admit his mistake and said, ” “Yes, yes, it’s my fault.”
&Quot; forget it, I forgive you. It seems that your attitude in admitting your mistakes is not bad. &Quot; With a half-yawn, a certain someone deliberately said it very generously. In fact, other than his ‘little lover’, what else was not her treasure?
Su Yicheng didn’t refute her and just went along with her, as long as she was happy. However, when he hugged her, he realized how much she had lost weight recently. He could not help but frown. She was clearly pregnant, but when he hugged her, she was even skinnier than before. She was only missing her bones.
His heart ached as he whispered in her ear, ” “Honey, let’s find a time to go out and play.” She was probably bored out of her mind staying in one place all day. Going out for a walk might not only stimulate her mood, but it might also stimulate her appetite.
An ran, who was in his arms, was a little sleepy. She hadn’t slept much today, so she vomited almost every time she ate something. She also felt nauseated for a long time when she smelled something. However, she was very hungry if she didn’t eat, and she didn’t have an appetite if she ate. However, for the sake of herself and the baby in her stomach, she tried very hard to eat a lot. Of course, she vomited more. Therefore, she had been wavering between eating and vomiting today. She didn’t even have time to sleep. Now, she was really a little tired.
Tired, an ran asked, ” “Do you have time?” He had been very busy recently. Although it was not as busy as before, he did not have time to rest. He went to the office early every day. Of course, he did not come back early either, but it was much better than before.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng felt a little guilty. &Quot; I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to accompany you. &Quot; Recently, he had indeed not had the time to be by her side. It was said that pregnant women were the most sensitive and fragile. They would often feel lonely and lonely, and they needed someone to be by her side more than usual. However, in this regard, he seemed to be really bad and could not be considered a qualified husband.
“Silly girl, you’re fighting for us.” Anran chuckled as she spoke. She reached out and took his hand to place it on her lower abdomen. She rubbed her head against his chest and then closed her eyes slightly. Although she really wanted to chat with him for a while longer, her eyelids were really sharp. The baby in her stomach was calling her to sleep.
Su Yicheng chuckled and gently stroked her belly with his large palm, making the most intimate contact with the baby in her belly.
After a long while, he hugged her and said gently, ” &Quot; Anran, let’s go out this weekend. Let’s look at the mountains, the sea, and go anywhere we want, okay? ” Accompanying her to relax was a way for her colleagues to ease their own nervous actions.
Su Yicheng held her in his arms, but he didn’t hear a reply for a long time. He tried to call her softly, ” Anran? ”
The person in his arms seemed to have heard him. She rubbed against his chest and murmured, ” &Quot; Yicheng … &Quot; the voice was not clear. It was simply sleeptalking.
Only then did su Yicheng lower his head and see that the person in his arms had already closed her eyes. Her small mouth was slightly open, and if he listened carefully, he could still hear her slightly coquettish snoring. It was very soft, very soft.
Shaking his head with a chuckle, he lowered his head and kissed her slightly opened little mouth. She closed her lips and pouted, looking really cute.
His movements were as gentle as possible. Then, he slowly pulled his hand away from her neck and gently placed her head on the soft pillow. Only then did she gently lift the blanket and get off the bed. She took out a change of pajamas from the closet and went directly into the bathroom.
The next day, when Anran woke up, su Yicheng had already gone to work. When she came out of the room in a daze, rubbing her eyes, aunt Zhang had already come over. When she saw her dazed look, she smiled and said, ” “Madam, do you want to heat up your breakfast for you? Sir made it for you when I came over.”
Hearing this, an ran seemed to have sobered up a lot. She looked at her and asked, ” “Yichen did it?” Recently, because Mrs. Zhang came every day, and su Yicheng was really busy with work, Anran basically slept until nine or ten O ‘clock, so after Mrs. Zhang came, she would wait for Anran to wake up and make her breakfast on the spot.
&Quot; yes, ” Mrs. Zhang said with a smile. &Quot; Sir said that he hasn’t made breakfast for you for a long time. He’s afraid that you’ll forget the taste of his breakfast. &Quot; He wasn’t afraid that she would forget the taste. He simply couldn’t bear to see her continue to lose weight, and his heart ached for his wife.
Anran had a pretty smile on her face. She nodded and said, ” “I’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face now.” As she said that, she turned around and went back to the master bedroom. Her mood was better now, and her voice was full of joy. Even her footsteps were cheerful.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her and smiled. She had been working as a nanny for many years and had changed several employers, but it was rare to see a couple with such a good relationship. It really made people envious.
He shook his head with a smile, turned around, and heated the cold breakfast in the microwave. Then, he poured her a large glass of fresh milk.
Anran didn’t know if it was because su Yicheng’s cooking skills were really good or not, but as she ate the breakfast he made, Anran actually had a good appetite. The breakfast that wasn’t a small portion, along with a large glass of fresh milk, all went into her stomach. The most amazing thing was that she didn’t feel nauseated at all, and she didn’t feel like puking at all.
Mrs. Zhang was a little dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but Mutter while clearing the table, ” so the baby can recognize his own cooking. He knows that dad woke up early to make it, so he can’t bear to waste any of it. &Quot;
Anran laughed as she listened. She looked down at her stomach and reached out to touch it. It wasn’t a matter of skill, but of his intentions. She and her baby cherished the breakfast he made for them, so they were especially happy and happy to eat it.
Lin Li’s phone call came when Anran woke up from her afternoon nap. She said that she hadn’t seen her for a long time, so they should come out for dinner at night and have a good time together.
Anran thought that it was nothing. Su Yicheng was always busy until very late at night, and at night, aunt Zhang would cook dinner for her before going home. After eating dinner, she would stay at home alone, bored. Besides, she and Lin Li hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Since the last time they met at the hospital, almost a month had passed in a flash. Therefore, he readily agreed.
Considering that an ran was pregnant, Lin Li deliberately found a place near an ran’s house, and the environment was relatively quiet and quiet.
When Anran arrived, Lin Li hadn’t come over yet. She still liked to sit by the window, so she found a seat and sat down. She drank the water that the waiter had served and turned her head from time to time to look at the people coming and going outside.
The waiter brought her the menu. Anran looked at it first, but just looking at the dishes on the colored page, Anran had no appetite at all. She instinctively resisted and rejected it.
Lin Li rushed over. It seemed like she had run over. Her hair was a little messy from the wind, and when she sat down, she was still a little out of breath.
Seeing her like this, an ran couldn’t help but complain, ” “Why are you in such a hurry? I won’t run away if I make myself breathless.”
Taking the water from the waiter, he gulped down more than half of the glass in one go and said, ” &Quot; I was afraid that you’d get impatient from waiting. The cars outside blocked the road from scholar road all the way to Huayuan Street. I almost died from the running. &Quot;
“You could have given me a call.” Anran said. If she called her and told her that she would be late, she wouldn’t mind waiting for her.
Speaking of this, Lin Li rolled her eyes at her. &Quot; you’d better be sure that you have your phone with you. &Quot; She thought that she wanted to run away, but she didn’t bring her phone with her. She called a few times, but no one picked up. She was afraid of making her wait for a long time, so she got out of the car halfway and ran over.
“Ah!” Hearing this, Anran looked down at her bag. Indeed, she couldn’t find her phone. It was only then that she remembered that she had been afraid that the wind would blow at night, so she had gone to her room to get a thin coat. She casually placed her phone on the counter at the entrance and, without paying attention, closed the door and left.
He looked at Lin Li apologetically and said, ” “I forgot about my home.”
Lin Li looked at her unhappily and waved her hand, saying, ” “Forget it. Running is considered training my body.” As he said that, he looked at the menu on the table and asked, ” “How is it? did you choose anything good to eat?”
Anran shook her head, pushed the menu to the side, and said, ” “You order it. I really don’t know what to eat.”
Lin Li glanced at her and didn’t say much. She took the menu and was about to see what to eat tonight. After all, she was pregnant before, so she naturally knew that when the pregnancy reaction was serious, one would have no appetite.
They casually ordered a few dishes and two bowls of white rice. The two of them chatted while eating.
Today was a good day. Although she didn’t look like she had much appetite or taste, she didn’t feel nauseated, so Anran told herself to try to eat more when she could, even if she didn’t like it.
Halfway through her meal, Lin Li suddenly thought of something and quickly took out something from her bag. She handed it to Anran and said, ” &Quot; here’s the key. I’ve already found a house. The company arranged a dormitory for me. I submitted the materials last week and it was approved the day before yesterday. I just happened to be on leave yesterday, so I packed my things and went to the company dormitory. &Quot;
“Is there really a dormitory?” An ran looked at her and couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
Lin Li rolled her eyes at her and said, ” &Quot; of course it’s true. Look at what our company does. We’re in the real estate business and we sell our houses. We can’t possibly let our employees sleep on the streets. &Quot;
Anran looked at her angrily and didn’t say anything more. She reached out and took the keys from her hand.
“Gu Anran.”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. If one listened carefully, one could hear the anger and unhappiness in the person’s voice.
Anran and Lin Li turned their heads at the same time and saw that not far from them, Ling Lin was looking at them with an angry face.
