Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 135 - A candlelight dinner
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.
Lin Li turned to look at Anran and asked, ” “Who is she? do you know her?”
Anran nodded. &Quot; my former colleagues. &Quot; Looking at Ling Lin, his brows were slightly furrowed.
Ling Lin walked over to them, looking angry. She stood in front of Anran and said in a harsh tone, ” &Quot; Gu Anran, it was you, wasn’t it? you made brother Yicheng do that, right? ”
An ran instinctively wanted to lean back, but Ling Lin’s body was covered in perfume, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. He furrowed his brows even more and said, ” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Are you playing dumb with me?” Ling Lin took a step forward and glared at her. Her eyes looked as if she wanted to swallow her alive as she criticized, ” “Aren’t you the one who caused the Ling family to be in this state?” Her father said that it was brother Yicheng who framed her and exposed her. She knew that it must be this woman. If it weren’t for this woman who incited brother Yicheng, brother Yicheng wouldn’t have disregarded the friendship between the two families and deliberately exposed her father. Then, the Ling family wouldn’t be like this, and her friends wouldn’t have deliberately avoided her as if they were afraid that she would ask them for help.
Anran covered her mouth with her hand and said in a muffled voice, ” “I didn’t.” Her stomach churned, and she felt like it was about to come up. Anran got up and wanted to go to the bathroom, but Ling Lin stopped her.
“Where do you want to go?” Ling Lin blocked her and didn’t let her go. She said fiercely, ” “Let’s make things clear today. What do you mean? how did our Ling family let you down? what right do you have to harm our Ling family?”
Anran was really in pain. She could feel the food that she had just eaten rolling from her stomach to her throat. If she didn’t leave now, she really couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t be able to hold it in!
On the side, Lin Li could see Anran’s discomfort, and then she looked at Ling Lin’s face, which looked like she wouldn’t give up until she explained it clearly. She quickly stood up and walked around the square table, saying, ” “Hey, what’s wrong with you, woman? how can you scold people like this?”
“Who are you? do you have the right to meddle in my business?” Ling Lin glared at Lin Li, her face full of disdain.
Anran covered her mouth and tried to push Ling Lin away, but she couldn’t. Instead, one of them couldn’t hold it in, and the other couldn’t hold it in. They vomited on Ling Lin’s body.
&Quot; sh * t … Sh * t … &Quot; Anran vomited all the food she had for dinner and lunch at Ling Lin.
Ling Lin was wearing a chiffon dress today. The chiffon was very flowy, and the skirt wasn’t too long, not even reaching her knees. At this moment, some of her tragic clothes, skirts, and even her fair thighs were covered with the filth that Anran had vomited. Some of them hadn’t even been digested yet, so they were still in their primitive state. It was a nauseating sight.
It was as if time had stopped. The three of them didn’t speak, and the noisy restaurant quieted down. Only the sound system was playing, slowly playing light music.
The first to react was Lin Li. Looking at Ling Lin’s body that was covered in vomit and her face that had become a little hideous and terrifying because of her anger, she suddenly had the urge to laugh.
Anran was still feeling a little uncomfortable, but she was much better than before. However, looking at Ling Lin in front of her, and then looking at the filth on her body, she really didn’t know what to say.
Ling Lin’s entire body trembled in anger, her hands tightly clenched. The sour and stinky smell made her want to vomit. Right now, she was so angry that she really wanted to hit someone.
Lin Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud. &Quot; haha … &Quot;
Ling Lin turned her head and glared at her. Her teeth were so angry that they were almost fighting, making clattering sounds.
Lin Li coughed lightly and stopped laughing. She looked at her, but she was still trying to hold back her laughter.
However, all of this made Ling LAN even angrier. She pushed all the blame on Anran. She turned her head and glared at Anran. She said through gritted teeth, ” “Gu Anran!”
Anran looked at her. At this moment, she had forgotten the pain of having a pregnancy reaction. She looked at her clothes and exposed thighs, and she really didn’t know what to say. He could only watch her raise her hand and make some gestures unnaturally. He laughed dryly and said, ” “I’m, I’m sorry. You’ve sprayed too much perfume on yourself. It’s too pungent. I wanted to go to the bathroom, but you had to block me, so …”
“It’s still mine, no!” Ling Lin enunciated every word with great emphasis.
Anran smiled apologetically and subconsciously stepped back.
Lin Li looked at Ling Lin’s disheveled face and couldn’t help but ask, ” “Um, are you really not going to the washroom?” The voice became a little strange as he tried to hold back his laughter.
Ling Lin turned her head and glared at her. She looked at the mess she was in and bit her lip in anger. Finally, before she turned around and left, she glared at Anran. &Quot; just you wait. &Quot; The sound was almost coming out from the gaps between his teeth. He turned around to leave, but his eyes were on fire when he saw the restaurant’s waiters surrounding him. He roared, ” “What are you looking at!” She ran into the bathroom, cursing and swearing.
After she left, Lin Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud. &Quot; hahahaha … An Zi, this move of yours is too ruthless. Look at her, I’m really going to die of laughter. &Quot;
Anran was both angry and amused. She looked at her helplessly. &Quot; you’re still laughing. &Quot; His mouth felt a little uncomfortable from the vomiting, so he took the water on the table and rinsed his mouth. Looking at the almost finished food on the table, he took the bag on the chair, looked at Lin Li, and asked, ” “Are you leaving or not?” She didn’t want to really wait here for Ling Lin to return.
&Quot; let’s go. Otherwise, you’re going to vomit all over that crazy woman when she comes back. I’ll laugh until my stomach hurts and I’ll have stomach cramps! &Quot; Lin Li said as she took her bag and went out with Anran. &Quot; Let’s Go to the Mall later. &Quot;
“Yes.” Anran nodded. She also wanted to go to the mall to buy a few shirts for su Yicheng, as his clothes were a little wrinkled.
The two of them held hands as they shopped in the mall. When they passed by the mother and infant Department, Lin Li insisted on dragging Anran into the Department to buy mother and infant products, saying that she wanted to give her godson a meeting gift.
In the end, the two of them bought two sets of maternity clothes and a big gift bag for newborns before leaving. And this mother and baby Shop happened to be next to a children’s clothing shop.
Lin Li, on a whim, dragged Anran in directly, saying that she wanted to buy clothes.
Anran thought that she was talking about buying clothes for the baby in her stomach, so she pulled her aside and said, ” these are all clothes for children above the age of four or five. Why did you come here to buy clothes? if your godson wants to wear them, it will be a few years later. What are you so anxious about? ”
Lin Li rolled her eyes at her and said, ” “Who said I only have one godson in your stomach?” After he finished speaking, he pulled her in without giving her a chance to explain.
Anran looked at her strangely, as if she had sensed something unusual, or perhaps she had missed something in the past month. Standing at the door of the store, an ran suddenly stopped.
Seeing that she wasn’t leaving, Lin Li looked at her in confusion and asked, ” “What’s wrong? why aren’t you going in?”
An ran stared at her strangely and didn’t speak for a long time.
Lin Li was a little scared by her staring. &Quot; what’s wrong? ” She unconsciously pulled at her clothes and touched her face to see if there was anything on her face.
“Tell me, what have you been up to recently?” An ran questioned. From the way she looked, there was definitely something she didn’t know.
An unnatural look flashed in Lin Li’s eyes. She didn’t look at her and only said, ” “What do you mean what’s up? let’s go in and take a look. Children’s clothes are all very nice.” As he spoke, he dragged an ran into the store.
She picked out a few sets of clothes for boys around the age of six or seven. She mumbled, ” I’ll just buy a bigger one. Children grow up quickly. I hope there won’t be enough for them to wear in a short time. &Quot;
An ran snatched the clothes from her hands and said, ” “What do you mean by children grow up fast? where did you get a child from?”
“Aiya, my maternal love is overflowing, okay? she’s someone else’s child. I think she’s quite pitiful. Her father doesn’t dote on her, and her mother doesn’t love her.” As Lin Li spoke, she snatched the clothes from her hands again and was about to go to the counter to pay.
As if she had thought of something, Anran pulled her back, looked at her, and asked, ” “Lin Li, are you hiding something from me?”
Lin Li glanced at her and said,”I’m not hiding anything from you.” &Nbsp;
Looking at the clothes in her hands, Anran slowly said, ” “Lin Li, I know that what happened to Chengxiang hurt you deeply, but I don’t want you to be irresponsible because of this.” It had been almost four months since she had been separated from Chengxiang, and she seemed to be in a good mood recently. If there was a suitable man, she also hoped that she could properly grasp her own happiness. However, if she was just trying to avoid something and not rush to face it, she would have to suffer. This was not what she wanted to see. Previously, she had already suffered in love for ten years. If she continued to suffer in the future, she would not feel sorry for herself.
Lin Li was silent. She turned to look at her and said with a bitter smile, ” do you think I still have the ability to love others? ” As he spoke, he clutched his clothes tightly!
“Lin Li.” Anran looked at her worriedly, but she didn’t know what to say to comfort her. She had been involved in her entire experience, so she understood the pain in her heart. She also knew that the pain needed time and couldn’t be cured in just a few months.
After a long while, Lin Li looked at her and shook her head. She smiled faintly and said, ” “I’m fine,” she said.
Anran nodded. She didn’t know what to say, what she could say, so she could only respond with a faint smile.
Because she was worried about her going home alone, Lin Li sent Anran home. When they reached the entrance of the neighborhood, su Yicheng came out of the security room next to them. He was wearing casual home clothes, and his hair seemed to have just been washed, so it was loose. Seeing an ran and Lin Li come over, she smiled and walked over to them.
Anran was a little surprised and happy. She quickly let go of Lin Li’s hand and walked over to him. &Quot; why are you so early today? ” she asked. It was only nine O ‘clock, but not only had he returned, but he had also changed his clothes and taken a shower.
“I was busy earlier today.” Su Yicheng said gently as he reached out to touch her head and brushed away the wind-blown hair on her forehead.
&Quot; tsk, tsk, tsk … &Quot; Lin Li smacked her lips and walked over to the couple. Seeing that Anran had forgotten her friend after seeing her lover, she said in a bad mood, ” “You don’t want your sister anymore when you have a man.” As soon as he saw su Yicheng, he directly threw her off and ran over. He was too inhumane.
Anran stuck her tongue out at her, a little embarrassed. In fact, she and su Yicheng were husband and wife, and they had to sleep in the same bed every night. However, su Yicheng had been so busy recently that the two of them almost didn’t see each other. In the morning, before she woke up, he had already left, and before he came back at night, she had already fallen asleep. It felt like they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. It was rare for him to come back early at night, so when they got home later, the two of them could still talk.
Su Yicheng also looked at Lin Li with a smile and said, ” “Do you want to come up and sit for a while?”
Lin Li waved her hand, her face full of disdain, and said, ” “I’m not interested in being your third wheel. I’m just a dazzling light bulb.”
“Do you need us to send you back?” Su Yicheng said politely and courteously. He just felt that it was a little inappropriate to let her go home alone at night.
“No need, no need. I’m not that delicate.” &Quot; you guys just go back and make out on your own, ” Lin Li said loudly. &Quot; I’m leaving. &Quot; As she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and turned to su Yicheng, saying, ” &Quot; by the way, even if you’re busy, you have to take good care of your wife. Why do I feel like Anran is even skinnier than before she was pregnant? ”
Su Yicheng nodded, a little ashamed, and said, ” Yes, I didn’t take good care of Anran. I’ll be more careful in the future. &Quot;
Lin Li nodded, but before she left, she didn’t forget to threaten, ” &Quot; if you dare to bully Anran, I, Lin Li, will not let you off. I don’t care if you’re the Deputy Mayor or the mayor. &Quot;
“Alright,” he said. Su Yicheng laughed dryly and felt a little ashamed. He had been let off countless times by bad people, but this was the first time a woman had said that she wouldn’t let him off. “Alright, alright. Yicheng won’t bully me, so don’t worry.” An ran was a little defeated by Lin Li, but she was also very happy with everything she had done for her.
&Quot; an Xiaoran, you’re helping an outsider. I’m helping you! &Quot; Lin Li yelled at Anran in dissatisfaction. This girl didn’t know what was good for her!
Anran was angry and amused at the same time. &Quot; I know, I know. If su Yicheng dares to bully me, I won’t look for my father or my mother. I’ll go straight to you, Lin Li. Let’s come over and beat him up together, okay? ”
Lin Li nodded and said with certainty, ” &Quot; yes, of course. Anyone who dares to bully my sisters will not be spared! &Quot;
Su Yicheng, who was standing on the side, could only stand there and rub his nose in boredom.
After sending Lin Li off and watching her get into the car, Anran was led by su Yicheng to the apartment. Su Yicheng considerately took the bag from her hand, then held it in one hand and held her hand in the other.
While waiting for the elevator, Anran was a little bored and played with his large palm. Then, she suddenly thought of something, looked up at him, and said, ” “Do you think you’ll still hold my hand like this in two years?”
Su Yicheng glanced at her, smiled, nodded, and said with certainty, ” “Yes, they will.” It would be the same even after ten or twenty years, let alone two years. He wasn’t a fickle person, and once he decided to hold hands, it would be a lifetime thing.
Anran looked at him, wrinkled her nose at him, and said, ” “You’re lying! When the time comes, you must not hold my hand again!” His tone was so certain as if it had happened before.
&Quot; why? ” su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and asked. Could she have foreseen the future? even if she could, she should have seen him holding her hand. How could it not be?
Anran looked at him, then lowered her head to look at her stomach. She pointed at her stomach and said, ” &Quot; well, in two years ‘time, I think the baby in her belly will be able to walk. By then, she will be squeezed between us, holding our left and right hands! &Quot;
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng laughed out loud and slightly tightened his grip on her hand, saying, ” &Quot; no, she won’t be standing in the middle. I’ll still hold your hand and she’ll stand on the side. &Quot;
&Quot; roar, then she will think that I, her mother, don’t love her anymore. &Quot; An ran protested.
The elevator arrived at this time. Su Yicheng smiled, held her hand, and led her in, saying, ” &Quot; it’s okay. I’ll tell her that you love her too. It’s just that if mommy is jealous of her, daddy has to hold her hand too. &Quot;
“I’m not jealous.” An ran pouted and tried to explain herself. How could she be jealous of her own daughter?
Su Yicheng laughed out loud, and when he saw how adorable she was with her pouting lips, he directly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and pecked her on the lips.
Anran was shocked by his actions. She quickly pushed him away and stood up straight. Her cheeks immediately turned red. They were still in the elevator, and there were surveillance cameras. Perhaps the security guards on duty were watching them. If that really happened, she would die of embarrassment!
Su Yicheng knew that she was shy, so he only chuckled in a low voice. However, he didn’t tease her anymore. He also didn’t want others to see her shy and charming appearance.
When the two of them opened the door and entered the house, Anran was so tired that she changed her shoes and fell on the sofa. Su Yicheng shook his head and put the food next to the sofa, then went over to hold Anran’s hand. &Quot; come, come and eat with me. &Quot;
Hearing this, Anran was shocked. She looked at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked,”You haven’t had dinner yet?” She raised her hand to look at the time again. It was already past nine O ‘clock in the evening. He had taken a shower, washed his hair, changed his clothes, and even waited for her at the entrance of the community, but he had not eaten!
Su Yicheng laughed and didn’t explain anything. He simply took her hand and walked toward the bar counter.
When Anran got closer, she realized that the countertop had already been set up with cutlery, plates, toasts, goblets, milk, and red wine. There was even a candle stand with red candles on it.
Anran was a little dumbfounded. She stared at him for a while, then turned her head and looked at him in confusion. &Quot; this, this is? ”
Su Yicheng smiled and helped her sit down on the red high stool. &Quot; I wanted to go out for dinner with you tonight, but when I came back from work, I happened to see Auntie Zhang going out, so I found out that you had already asked Lin Li out for dinner tonight. I even carelessly left my phone on the counter at the entrance. &Quot; He walked into the kitchen as he spoke. He turned on the stove again and continued to fry the half-cooked steak in the pan as he continued, ” &Quot; since we didn’t get to meet, I went to the supermarket to prepare these. I thought we could have a candlelight dinner when you came back tonight. &Quot;
Anran listened and looked at his back as he busied himself in the kitchen. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She wanted to laugh because she felt happy to have a man like him dote on and pamper her. She wanted to cry because she was touched. This man was clearly busy as hell, but he was still willing to take time out to do all this for her. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but ask herself what she had done to deserve such a man to do all this for her.
Considering that Anran was pregnant, she couldn’t eat anything too raw, so she fried the steak until it was well-cooked before she took it out of the pot and placed it on a plate. She drizzled it with the tomato sauce she had prepared beforehand, then brought the steak to Anran before turning around to take her own. He poured himself some red wine and gave Anran some fresh milk. After he finished, he looked at Anran, smiled, and said, ” wait, there’s still one more step. &Quot; he turned around and took out the lighter on the counter and lit the red candles on the candle stand one by one. After he was done, he took the remote control in the room and dimmed the lights in the room. The light from the candle stand on the bar side was just like that in a restaurant. The music started playing, and the atmosphere was just like the restaurant outside.
&Quot; you … &Quot; Anran smiled, but she couldn’t speak.
Su Yicheng also laughed and asked, ” do I look like her? ”
“Yes, yes.” Anran nodded very hard. She nodded so hard that she almost shed tears. She was touched and happy.
Su Yicheng shook his head with a chuckle and said in a pampering tone, ” “Silly girl.” Then, he reached out to wipe her tears and took out a rose from under the bar counter. He handed it to her and said, ” “I was too embarrassed to buy such a big bouquet, so I only bought one. We’re just enjoying the atmosphere, okay?”
Anran nodded and took it, crying and laughing at the same time. She lowered her head to smell the fragrance of the flowers, pouted, and said in a low voice, ” Su Yicheng, why are you so good to me? ” She would be spoiled.
Su Yicheng reached out and took her hand, then gently placed it on his lips and kissed it. He then said softly, ” &Quot; you’re my wife. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat? ”
An ran chuckled, and the expression on her face was one of indescribable happiness and joy.
Su Yicheng let go of her hand, touched her face, wiped the tears off her face, and said, ” “Alright, can you eat with me while it’s hot?” It was originally made for her. Every day, he watched her eat and vomit, but she didn’t gain any weight. Although he was busy, he couldn’t help but worry.
An ran nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot; She was cutting her steak with a knife and fork and happily eating the candlelight dinner he had specially prepared for her.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they ate. It was very pleasant. The two of them would joke around and clink glasses with milk and red wine. They would also feed each other intimately like other couples.
Just as the two of them were eating happily, the phone in the living room rang at this time, which was a little abrupt. Anran turned around and was about to take it, but su Yicheng stopped her.
“I’ll go.” He put down the knife and fork in his hand and walked out of the kitchen to pick up the phone. &Quot; Hello. &Quot;
Anran didn’t know who was calling her, nor did she know what was being said on the phone. She only saw su Yicheng’s face slightly wrinkled without any displeasure.
