Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 168



168 Cheap mother

In fact, the reason why she had taken on Xudong’s case was all because of ye Ziwen. The day after Anran and su Yicheng’s wedding, ye Ziwen had really gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage. The first thing they had done when they returned was to announce that they were going on a trip to get married. On the third day after they registered their marriage, the two of them carried their luggage and started their journey. The unexpected news almost made ye Ziwen’s uncle, Xiao Yuanshan, vomit blood. It turned out that ye Ziwen had not even finished his work and had gone to ‘travel around the world’. Because of this, Xiao Yuanshang had specially come to the SU family to complain. In addition, tai special Ming wanted to ask Anran for help. He said that he only needed to help ‘Xu Dong’ complete the case, and there was no time limit. Qin Yun couldn’t reject him directly, so she only said that as long as Anran was willing, she wouldn’t have any objections.

In fact, Anran had always wanted to pick up a pen and draw again, but her pregnancy had disrupted all her plans. However, after a few months of rest, she was tired of the days of eating and sleeping, then waking up and waiting for food. So, when Xiao Yuanshan fired her, Anran was immediately tempted. Therefore, when Xiao Yuanshan came to her, she agreed immediately.

At first, su Yicheng was against Anran taking on the ‘Xudong’ case, but Anran insisted on it and promised that she wouldn’t tire herself out, so su Yicheng reluctantly agreed. It took him four months to finish this part-time job of drawing at home.

At this time, Anran was already more than nine months pregnant. According to the doctor’s calculations, there was still about a week before the expected date of delivery. However, because Anran was pregnant with twins, her stomach was about one size bigger than a normal pregnant woman’s. The doctor was afraid that it would be difficult to give birth, so he told her to walk more often to help with the delivery. So now, an ran only had to sit for a while before she would get up and walk around.

As she walked to the window, she suddenly felt the little darling in her stomach kick her in the stomach. It was still a little painful. She looked down at her round stomach that looked like it was about to explode. Her face was full of love as she reached out and stroked it gently. The corners of her eyes were filled with a blissful smile.

She looked up at the sky that was still blue and the streets that were still lively outside the window. She could not help but feel that time had passed so quickly. It turned out that a year had passed without her realizing it. Thinking back to this time last year, she was still forced by her mother to go on blind dates everywhere. She even had meals with men of different jobs and ages for a week without stopping to understand each other’s situation.

Life was really unpredictable. It had only been a year, but she was already very pregnant. In a few days, she would become a mother of two. A year ago, she had never thought that this would happen, but fortunately, this ending was one she was happy about.

Knock, knock, knock. The newly hired confinement nanny, Auntie li, came in with milk. She looked at Anran and said with a smile, Madam, Mayor su called just now and asked you to drink this glass of milk.

Auntie li was the nanny that su Yicheng had recently invited. Because he was worried that Anran was about to give birth, Auntie Zhang would be too busy with two babies, so he had called the nanny in advance and asked her to familiarize herself with the situation at home.

Anran smiled helplessly, reached out to take the milk from Auntie Li’s hand, and took a small sip. She was really a little defeated by su Yicheng. She didn’t know if it was because he was about to meet his child and become a real father, but su Yicheng had been a little too nervous these few days. Every night when he came home, he would lean into her stomach and say a long sentence. As long as he came home from work, he would always stay by her side.

Just like now, even though she had gone to work, she still didn’t forget to call home and ask Auntie li or Auntie Zhang to make sure Anran finished the milk.

Seeing her drinking the milk, Auntie li dragged the tray and left the study.

Anran stood there for a while and felt a little tired. She reincarnated and walked over to the sofa, ready to sit down and rest.

Suddenly, he felt waves of pain coming from his stomach. He couldn’t even hold the glass of milk in his hand and it fell to the ground with a bang. The White liquid spilled all over the ground, and the glass shattered all over the floor. An ran rested her hand on the armrest of the sofa, trying hard not to fall to the ground, but the pain in her stomach made it difficult for her to stand up.

Auntie li, who was cleaning the living room outside the door, heard something coming from the study. She quickly threw down the rag in her hand and ran straight into the study. When she pushed open the door, she saw Anran sitting on the ground, her hands on her stomach, and she looked like she was in great pain.

She hurriedly went forward and asked nervously, Madam, what’s wrong? did you fall?

Anran shook her head. She was in so much pain that she couldn’t breathe. Her chest heaved up and down as she said with some difficulty, aunty, aunty Li, I, I think I’m about to give birth. The water, the water has broken. Her stomach was in so much pain that she could only hold Auntie Li’s hand tightly.

Auntie li lowered her head and saw that there was indeed a pool of water on the ground. It seemed that she was really about to give birth. She raised her voice and shouted towards the door, Mrs. Zhang, Madam is about to give birth!

When su Yicheng received the call, he was in the middle of a meeting regarding the construction of the Qingjiang bridge. Because he saw that it was a call from home, su Yicheng, who rarely answered the phone during meetings, made an exception this time and picked up the phone on the table. Hello, what’s up, Yueyue?! I’ll be there immediately. After he finished speaking, he didn’t even explain himself. He didn’t even have time to grab the documents and information on the table. He just ran out of the conference room, leaving a group of confused people.

Everyone turned to look at Secretary Zheng, who had been following su Yicheng the whole time, and asked in confusion, Secretary Zheng, what happened?

Secretary Zheng was also confused. He shook his head to show that he had no idea what was going on.

When su Yicheng rushed to the hospital, Anran was still in the ward and hadn’t entered the delivery room. Gu Hengwen and Lin xiaofen had already heard the news and rushed over, while Qin Yun had also received the news and was on her way.

Su Yicheng pushed the door open and saw Anran lying on her side on the bed. Because of the pain in her stomach, she was only clutching the bed sheet under her, and her entire face was scrunched up in pain. Su Yicheng hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and gently called out, Anran, Anran, come in. Wasn’t she supposed to be due in a week? Why are you giving birth now?

Anran opened her eyes and looked at him. She couldn’t speak due to the pain in her stomach. She could only hold his hand tightly and say with difficulty, You, you pull.

Yes, yes, yes, I’m coming. Su Yicheng quickly responded to her, but when he saw her being tortured by the pain, he couldn’t help but feel a little distressed and nervous as he asked, Why aren’t you in the delivery room? Didn’t you say that your water has broken? why aren’t you going in?

The doctor said that the cervix has not opened yet, and we need to wait. Auntie Zhang answered honestly.

When will that happen? It’s so painful! Su Yicheng was a little anxious, and his tone was no longer as gentle as it usually was.

Lin xiaofen comforted her and said, ah Zhen, don’t worry. We know that you feel bad for ran ran, but women are all like this when giving birth. If it doesn’t hurt, how can she give birth? some people will be in pain for a day and a night. Lin xiaofen had already recovered. The hair that she had shaved off during the surgery had all grown back, and she looked just like before she was sick. She also said that her vision seemed to have improved recently, and it wouldn’t be a problem for her to take a needle and thread a needle.

One day and one night! Su Yicheng’s eyes widened. How much pain would he have to suffer? He turned to look at Anran, his eyes full of love and reluctance.

Lin xiaofen looked at Anran, who was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely, and said worriedly, Ranran, do you want to eat something? don’t be weak when you give birth next time.

Anran shook her head. I … she said, I don’t have an appetite. Right now, she only felt one thing, and that was pain. It was the kind of falling pain, as if something in her body was about to fall out.

Lin xiaofen still asked Auntie li to go outside and get her some porridge. It took a lot of effort to give birth, and Anran was pregnant with two children. It would be bad if she didn’t have any strength at that time, so after the pain passed, she had to make Anran eat something.

An ran, let’s do a C-section! Su Yicheng couldn’t bear to see her in so much pain, so he smiled and thought that this was the only thing he could think of. As long as it could alleviate her pain, he was willing to do anything.

Anran shook her head. Seeing his chest rise and fall rapidly, she said, The doctor, the doctor said natural birth is good for the baby! Every child was every mother’s treasure, and every mother would naturally want to give herself the best. Since she knew natural childbirth was good for the baby, she would grit her teeth and get through it no matter how bitter and painful it was.

But you’re in so much pain. I don’t want you to be in so much pain. I can’t bear to. He pulled her hand to his mouth and kissed it. His eyebrows were almost pressed together.

Then, treat me better in the future. An ran tried to smile at him, but the pain in her stomach made her frown again.

Yes, yes! Su Yicheng nodded heavily. There was no doubt about that. He grabbed her hand tightly and kissed it, then asked with a little heartache, It still hurts, doesn’t it? If he could, he was willing to suffer for her!

This child. Lin xiaofen looked at him with a smile and said, How can giving birth not hurt? Did you bring everything you needed to prepare? she asked Mrs. Zhang.

Yes, I brought it over, aunt Zhang quickly nodded and said. Anran’s sudden pain really made everyone flustered, but fortunately, they had prepared for it beforehand. The child’s clothes, diapers, and other things that would be used during the delivery were all placed together, so they just had to bring them and put them in the bag.

After the pain passed, Anran was able to sit up a little better, and her body was a little more relaxed. At this time, Auntie li came in from outside and bought some porridge and side dishes for Anran to eat first.

However, Anran didn’t have any appetite right now. She only shook her head weakly and said, I can’t eat.

Ranran, you need strength to give birth. You’re in so much pain that you don’t have any strength now. What will you do when you’re about to give birth? So even if I don’t have an appetite, I’ll at least eat a little.

that’s right, Madam. Giving birth depends on strength. If you don’t have strength, you’ll suffer, whether it’s the adult or the child. Auntie Li said with experience.

Su Yicheng looked at her and coaxed her, be good, let’s eat some, okay?

Anran nodded. For the sake of the two babies in her stomach, she had to force herself to eat more.

Seeing her nod and say that she wanted to eat, su Yicheng was overjoyed and said, I’ll feed you. He reached out to take the porridge that Auntie li had brought over and fed her mouthful by mouthful with a spoon. He was afraid that the porridge was too hot, so he gently blew on it with his mouth every time. Every action was done carefully.

Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen stood to the side and smiled with some relief.

As she ate, she felt another wave of pain in her stomach, and a new round of pain began. She opened her mouth and ate the porridge in front of her, frowning.

What’s wrong? is it starting to hurt again? Su Yicheng looked at her nervously.

Anran clutched the sheets tightly in pain. Because she didn’t want him to say ‘but’, she tried her best to smile at su Yicheng and said, Feed me some more porridge. Her voice began to tremble, but for the sake of her child, a mother would always have extraordinary strength at times like this.

Su Yicheng could only feel heartache and worry, and there was nothing he could do to help. He thought to himself that when the two little babies in her stomach came out, he would definitely spank their little buttocks and make them suffer like this for their mother!

The pain came in waves for nearly six hours. At about nine O ‘clock in the evening, the labor doctor came over to check the cervix. He finally nodded and said,The cervix is almost fully dilated. You can get ready to enter the delivery room now.

Su Yicheng held her hand and wanted to go in, but he was blocked by the nurse outside the door. Qin Yun rushed out of the delivery room in a hurry. Seeing the group of people crowding at the door of the delivery room, she hurriedly asked, Have we entered? have we already entered?

Lin xiaofen pulled her to sit down beside her and said, I just went in. I’m afraid it won’t be so fast.

Qin Yun lifted the thermal flask in her hand. This was the chicken soup that she had been making at home, and it was because of this that she came late. She said, I also want Anran to drink a few mouthfuls before going in. That way, it’ll be easier for her to give birth and have more strength.

It’s fine. If she really doesn’t have the strength later, we’ll ask the nurse inside to bring it in for Ranran to drink. Lin xiaofen said.

Yes, yes, yes. I’ll give it to her when the time comes. Qin Yun said repeatedly.

Su Yicheng couldn’t sit still at the moment. He kept pacing back and forth in front of the delivery room, his hands clenched tightly. Through the door of the delivery room, he could still hear Anran’s somewhat painful cries, which made his heart ache, but there was nothing he could do. He could only stand at the door and wait anxiously.

Seeing him like this, Lin xiaofen was worried for Anran inside, but she also found it a little funny and said, Ah Luo, you can sit for a while. It’s not that fast. You’re turning back and forth like this, and you’re making our eyes go blurry.

Qin Yun also laughed. I’ve raised my son for over 30 years. This is the first time I’ve seen him like this.

Su Yicheng also couldn’t listen to their words. Right now, he only thought about the people inside. Those three were the most important people in her life! How could he not be worried and anxious?

The waiting time was always particularly long. Finally, su Yicheng didn’t know how long he had waited, but a loud cry came from the delivery room. The people outside the door were overjoyed. Lin xiaofen and Qin Yun held each other’s hands and shouted, she’s born, she’s born. I heard the child’s cries. It’s very loud!

yes, yes, yes. She gave birth. She did.

Su Yicheng nervously stood guard at the door, and at that moment, he almost didn’t know where to put his hands.

The door of the delivery room was pushed open by a young nurse, and she came out with a small wrinkly and red child in her arms. The child cried loudly.

The nurse behind the mask smiled and said to them, Congratulations, it’s a young master. She looked at su Yicheng and said with a smile, this must be daddy. Come and hug baby. He’s a little handsome.

Su Yicheng looked at the red and wrinkly little thing in her arms, but he didn’t dare to take it.

Behind her, Qin Yun and Lin xiaofen both laughed when they saw this. Lin xiaofen hurriedly stepped forward to take the child from the nurse’s hands and looked at it with joy. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the bright red little guy in her arms was extremely cute.

Qin Yun, on the other hand, took the chicken soup that she had been holding in her arms and gave it to the nurse. She said, miss nurse, please give this chicken soup to my daughter-in-law later. I’m afraid she won’t have the strength to drink it later.

Alright, he said. The nurse took it and went back to the delivery room.

Meanwhile, Lin xiaofen also carried the child and followed the nurses who came later to wash the child. Mrs. Zhang and Qin Yun also followed to help.

Su Yicheng was still in a daze and stood there in a daze. He still hadn’t recovered from the shock.

Gu Hengwen smiled as he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. With an understanding smile, he said, I was like this when ran ran was born. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to hug her.

Su Yicheng only came back to his senses after a while. He looked at Gu Hengwen and scratched his head in embarrassment. Suddenly, he remembered what the nurse had said just now. congratulations, you’re a young master.

why isn’t it a girl? he muttered in a daze. Wasn’t it a twin girl?

Su Yicheng didn’t respond to this question at all. He was the only one who insisted that they were twin daughters, and no one had ever given him a definite answer!

Gu Hengwen laughed and patted his shoulder. The next one, the next one might be a daughter.

When su Yicheng came back to his senses, he heard Anran’s painful cries coming from the delivery room again. His entire mind was pulled back, and he no longer had the time to think about why it wasn’t a girl. His heart was clenched again, completely different from the joy he had felt when he first learned that Anran was pregnant with twins. He couldn’t help but Mutter in his heart that it would be great if it was just one. If it weren’t twins, Anran would have come out by now. Why would she have to suffer in there again?

Fortunately, the child didn’t torture his mother for too long. An hour after his brother was born, he finally broke away from his mother’s warm belly and came to this world with a loud cry. However, the interesting thing was that although he was only an hour later than his brother, he was a full day behind. This was because he was born at 00:01 am the next day.

Hearing the cries coming from inside, su Yicheng was so excited that his eyes turned red, and he wanted to push open the door of the delivery room and go in. When the nurse inside was about to come out with the child to report the good news, she only saw that the moment the door was opened, a man quickly passed her and ran into the delivery room. She couldn’t even stop him.

Anran was drenched in sweat, and the hair in front of her forehead was tightly stuck to her forehead. Because she had used too much strength, she was a little exhausted as she lay there. Su Yicheng stepped forward, grabbed her hand tightly, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and whispered in her ear, Honey, you’re so brave. Thank you!

Anran looked up tiredly. When she saw her, her lips twitched weakly, and a weak voice came out of her mouth. I’m so tired.

Su Yicheng tightly grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss it. He then promised, Sleep. I’m by your side. I’ll always be by your side.

Hearing this, Anran nodded slightly with a faint smile on her lips. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in peace.

When Anran woke up again, it was already the next morning. The room was quiet, and just as she was about to raise her hand, she found that her hand was tightly held by someone. She turned her head and saw su Yicheng sleeping on the edge of the bed. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile. She knew that he must not have slept well last night. While she was working hard inside, he must have been working hard outside with her.

Outside, Qin Yun pushed the door open and entered. When she saw that she was already awake, she revealed a joyful smile. She hurriedly entered and whispered, An ran has woken up!

After a good night’s sleep, she felt much better than she had yesterday after giving birth, although her smile still looked a little weak.

Qin Yun’s movements also woke su Yicheng, who had been sleeping on the edge of the bed. He looked up and saw Anran’s smiling face, and he also smiled. You’re awake.

Anran nodded lightly. yes.

Suddenly, pa! A loud cry came from the baby’s cot in the room. Qin Yun quickly went up to carry the child and gently patted him while saying, Aiya, he’s probably hungry and wants to eat his fill.

Qin Yun had yet to coax the baby in her arms when the other baby in the crib cried out in unison. Seeing this, Qin Yun quickly called su Yicheng over to carry the baby. However, su Yicheng stood in front of the crib for a long time, but he didn’t reach out to pick up the child from the bed.

Carry the child! Qin Yun urged, that’s your son! Why are you crying like that?!

As if he had made a big decision, su Yicheng finally reached out and slowly picked up the soft and small little guy from the bed. His posture was awkward, but he was very careful.

Anran hadn’t seen her child yet, and after giving birth, she had no more strength. She had just woken up, and when she saw each of them holding her baby, she couldn’t help but say, Let me, let me see the child too.

Only then did Qin Yun come to her senses. She nodded her head repeatedly and carried the child over to her. She placed the child on her bed and said, Come, let mommy take a look.

It was strange, but the child seemed to be able to feel it. Although he didn’t open his eyes, he stopped crying as he lay beside an ran.

Anran looked at the little angel lying next to her. This was the baby that had been in her stomach for more than nine months. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that he was beautiful and cute. Now, he was all small, with a small nose and small mouth, but he could make such a loud voice from this small mouth. Just thinking about it made her feel amazed and incredulous.

Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her head to ask Qin Yun and su Yicheng, Is it a boy or a girl?

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun couldn’t stop smiling. On the other hand, su Yicheng’s face suddenly darkened, and he no longer laughed or teased the little guy in his arms. Instead, his eyes became a little stern and he glared at him resentfully.

Qin Yun naturally saw his reaction and deliberately said to anger him, Let ah Zhen speak.

Anran looked at su Yicheng and saw his expression.

Ah Zhen, tell me, is it a son or a daughter? An ran is staring at me. Qin Yun urged and reached out to pull him.

Su Yicheng closed his eyes and finally said, You’re all kids! After he finished speaking, he stuffed the child into Qin Yun’s hands in a fit of pique. However, his actions were still very careful.

On the bed, Anran looked at his depressed and angry expression and couldn’t help but laugh. hehe, hehe, hehe. she felt that he was simply too cute at this moment.

Qin Yun also laughed and complained to Anran, You don’t know how weird his expression was when he found out that they were both boys. He even glared at my two grandsons for quite a while! How could her precious grandson be glared at by others? even their father couldn’t do that. Look, as his grandmother, she had already avenged him. Just thinking about su Yicheng’s expression at the moment was enough to satisfy her.

Anran also laughed. She could imagine the scene at that time. She knew all too well how he felt about wanting a daughter. When he was pregnant, he kept stubbornly saying that it was a daughter, and all the small clothes he bought were for girls. Even when Lin Li said that the baby in her stomach was a son, he wanted to be childish and argue with her. He even thought of a nickname early on, which was Yiyi Yaya. However, it was heaven’s will. Twins. Both were boys. He was going to be depressed for a long time.

By the time Anran and the two babies were discharged from the hospital, it was already a week later. They didn’t go to the confinement Center like what was said on TV. They didn’t have to spend money and worry about them not doing a good job or taking good care of them.

Therefore, after returning home, Lin xiaofen and Qin Yun took turns to take care of Anran’s confinement, while the two golden grandchildren of the SU family were taken care of by Auntie li and Auntie Zhang.

After a few days of adaptation, su Yicheng was finally able to slowly accept that he was destined to have no daughters in this life. However, Lin Li took the opportunity to be proud of Anran’s twin sons in front of su Yicheng for a long time.

That night, Anran fed the two children milk, then had Auntie Zhang and Auntie li carry them to sleep.

After su Yicheng finished his work and came out of the study, he returned to his room. Anran was sitting on the bed, wiping her chest with a napkin. The little guy hadn’t finished eating just now, so it was still a little swollen, and milk was still flowing out of her chest. When su Yicheng saw her snow-white chest, he was a little ‘angry’.

He went forward, sat down on the bed, and pulled an ran into his arms. He buried his head in her shoulder and said in a muffled voice, an ran, are you trying to seduce me? Only God knew how hard it had been for him since he was seven months pregnant! Now that he had to see such a scene, it was simply torture for him. It was really too cruel!

Anran laughed out loud, but when she suddenly felt him take her little hand and place it on a certain part of his body, she could no longer laugh. She blushed and pushed him away. you, you’re crazy!

Su Yicheng sighed and could only get up helplessly. He took a change of clothes from the closet and went straight into the bathroom.

Anran looked in the direction of the bathroom. Her heart ached for him, but she also felt helpless.

When su Yicheng came out of the bathroom again, Anran was holding a Xinhua dictionary, leaning against the head of the bed, and reading it carefully. The child was almost half a month old, but the name had not been decided yet, and the hospital had called to urge them to get the birth certificate.

Su Yicheng wiped his hair with the towel again, then went straight to the bed and pulled Anran into his arms. He softly asked her, You’re still thinking of a name.

yeah, we have to get the birth certificate as soon as possible. The hospital has already called us a few times. As an ran spoke, she flipped to another page.

Su Yicheng held her in his arms and reached out to take the dictionary from her hand and put it on the bedside table.

Anran froze and turned her head to look at him in confusion. what’s wrong?

Su Yicheng let go of her and let her sit down. The two of them looked at each other and said, Anran, let’s talk.

Talk about what? Anran frowned. She was even more confused when she saw his serious expression.

Let’s talk about the child’s name. Su Yicheng said as he looked into her eyes with an unusually serious expression.

Anran froze and asked reflexively, You’ve already thought of a name? Her little eyes were filled with excitement.

Su Yicheng nodded. In fact, he had been thinking about it for the past few days. He had two suitable names, but he still had to ask her for her opinion.

It’s true! An ran was a little surprised. what’s your name? tell me. She had been looking through the dictionary for a few days, but she still had not thought of a name for the child. It was only at this time that she deeply felt that naming a child was really a skill and a laborious and mental work.

Su Yicheng looked at her for a long time before he slowly said, I want the children to have our surnames.

Hearing this, Anran was stunned. She didn’t quite understand what he meant, so she asked, W-what do you mean?

Su Yicheng smiled faintly. I want one of the children to have the surname su and the other to have the surname Gu, he said. In fact, this idea had already been in his mind when he found out that Anran was pregnant with twins. Father Gu had never had the chance to have his own children again because of Anran, and he had given up everything. This kind of fatherly love was touching. He only had Anran as his daughter, and he was Anran’s husband, so he was naturally the half-son of the Gu family, so he wanted the Gu family to continue on.

W-why? Anran looked at him, and for some reason, her eyes felt a little warm. In fact, she had this idea when she was pregnant. She had mentioned it to her mother before, but her mother had rejected it because they were both worried that a big family like the SU family would not allow their grandchildren to take another family’s surname, so they had never thought about it again. She just didn’t expect that su Yicheng would bring it up to her today.

Su Yicheng reached out and wiped away the tears that had unknowingly flowed down her face, then said with a faint smile, I know that you Love Dad very much, and dad loves you very much. I also love you very much, so I want our children to have our surnames. This way, they will understand the meaning of being a family.

Anran looked at him, and her tears fell even more violently, but she didn’t know what to say.

Su Yicheng chuckled and reached out to pull her into his arms. As he smiled and stroked her hair, he said, Why are you still acting like a child? you’re already a mother of two sons.

Anran cried and patted him in a fit of pique. She said in a sobbing tone, You, you’re starting to despise me so quickly? do you despise me for being ugly and not beautiful after giving birth?

Su Yicheng laughed out loud, reached out, and hugged her even tighter. He smiled and whispered in her ear, My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world!

Anran reached out to wipe her tears and said in a fit of pique, Hmph, let me tell you, even if you look the ugliest, you don’t have the chance to regret it now. I’m with you for the rest of my life. Don’t even think about getting rid of me.

Su Yicheng laughed out loud and promised her, Alright, then I’ll hold your hand forever and never let go!

An ran laughed and cried. of course!

The two of them hugged like this for a long time before su Yicheng finally let go of her. He reached out to pinch her nose, which was a little red from crying, and then lowered his head to kiss the tip of her nose.

An ran closed her eyes and felt his kisses land on her face. His breath was warm and comfortable. Suddenly, she thought of something. She opened her eyes and pushed him away, asking seriously, You said you’ve already thought of a name. What is it?

Su Yicheng called out and leaned against the back of the bed. He pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her waist. She had just given birth to a child, so her belly was still a little chubby. Compared to when she was so thin that she was only left with bones, he liked the feeling of her chubby belly more. It felt especially good to touch.

Anran was tickled by the large palm on her waist. She grabbed his hand and held it tightly, intertwining her fingers with his and saying, What is it called?

Yes. Su Yicheng softly responded, then slowly asked, su Weiming and Gu Weiyi. What do you think?

Weiming, Weiyi, Weiming, Weiming! Anran called out playfully. She smiled and nodded. She liked these two names from the bottom of her heart.

Do you like it? Su Yicheng kissed her ear.

Anran turned her head and looked at him, nodding happily. yes, yes, I like it. Weiming, Weiyi, it’s very nice!

Su Yicheng smiled gently and reached out to touch her face. He liked her smile and had once vowed to make her smile like this forever!

As she thought of something, the smile on her face suddenly dimmed, and she looked at su Yicheng, wanting to ask him something but not daring to.

Su Yicheng frowned slightly and asked,what’s wrong? He was fine just now, why did he suddenly look so bitter?

the child’s surname is Gu. Do father, mother, and grandfather agree? After all, he was a child of the SU family. Some of the older generation might not be able to accept him taking his mother’s surname.

I thought you were worried about something. Su Yicheng laughed and reached out to flick her forehead, asking, Are mom, dad, and Grandpa such inflexible people? Who asked you to think so much!

Anran rubbed her forehead, still feeling a little unconfident. but we still have to tell mom and dad. If they don’t agree, we have to respect their opinions.

Su Yicheng laughed. He might have fallen for this little woman because of her personality of always thinking about others. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. I’ve asked my parents and Grandpa before. They all agree and have no opinions, so don’t let your thoughts run wild!

Hearing this, Anran put on a big smile and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pressed her forehead against his and said, Su Yicheng, have I ever said that I love you?

Su Yicheng also laughed, pecked her nose, and said, I don’t mind you saying that to me every day!

An ran smiled, raised her head, and kissed him on the lips. She promised in her heart that she would!

Looking at the man standing in front of her, Lin Li only felt a little powerless. She felt that the Chengxiang in front of her was becoming more and more unlike the person she had known in the past. When did he learn to pester her? when did he lose his original indifference?

She tightened her grip on the bag in her hand and stepped forward. Then, she walked past him indifferently and expressionlessly, like a stranger, without turning her head to look at him.

Lin Li’s hand was suddenly grabbed, and she was forced to stop. She still didn’t turn around and only coldly said, &ampampquot let go. &ampampampQuot There was no warmth in his voice.

&ampampampQuot Lin Li, give me one more chance. I was wrong. I really know my mistake! &ampampampQuot Chengxiang looked at her, his voice pleading, &ampampquot I do love you. I wasn’t sure before, but I really do love you. Give me another chance, please? &ampampquot

He had always thought that Xiaoxiao was the person who was hidden in the deepest part of his heart and that no one could replace her in this life. However, after he lost her, he realized that in the past ten years, Lin Li had already entered his heart bit by bit and slowly replaced Xiaoxiao’s position in his heart. He had fallen in love with her a long time ago, but he had not realized it.

&ampampquotHehe.&ampampquot Lin Li laughed coldly. The expression on her face was just like her laughter, so cold that there was almost no warmth. She turned her head and looked at him. She only pulled her lips and slowly said, &ampampquot if time can go back, I will love you again. &ampampampQuot

Chengxiang’s face stiffened. He opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say. His hand was still tightly holding her hand, not wanting to let go.

Lin Li looked at him and asked, &ampampquot do you think we can go back in time? &ampampquot

&ampampampQuot Lin Li … &ampampampQuot Chengxiang called her, his expression pained.

Lin Li shook her head and said, &ampampquot I can’t go back. Just like the day you ran away from the wedding. I can’t go back to the day the child disappeared from my stomach. I can’t go back to the me 10 years ago, who loved you without any complaints or requests. &ampampampQuot Although Lin Li’s expression was very cold, she couldn’t hide the pain in her heart. Her eyes were red and misty.

&ampampampQuot Lin Li, I’m really sorry-&ampampquot Cheng Xiang was anxious to explain and promise something, but Lin Li didn’t give him-chance.

Lin Li raised her hand and interrupted him, &ampampquot it’s too late to say anything now. &ampampampQuot She only closed her eyes and reached out to pull her hand away. She turned around and wanted to leave, but she happened to meet Zhou Han’s slightly probing eyes.

She was a little stunned. She didn’t know when he had walked in front of her. She clearly remembered that when she left the house, he was still at home eating breakfast with the newspaper.

However, he was only stunned for a moment. He only nodded at her indifferently, walked past him, and entered the company.

Chengxiang wanted to chase after her, but he stopped in his tracks. He knew that he had hurt Lin Li too deeply.

Zhou han stared at Chengxiang expressionlessly for a long time. His brows furrowed slightly. In the end, he didn’t say anything and directly turned around to enter the company.

When Zhou han came up with his briefcase, Lin Li was already sitting in the seat of the president’s Secretary at the door of his office. The computer was already turned on, and at this moment, she was checking Zhou Han’s schedule for the day to see if there was anything important that needed to be prepared in advance. In fact, Lin Li was not completely used to her current job as the president’s Secretary. She was originally in sales, but half a month ago, after she got her marriage certificate with Zhou han, she said, &ampampquot Zhou han directly transferred her to be his Secretary, and his previous Secretary li took care of her for a few days to hand over her work. She had officially started her half-year maternity leave two days ago.

Zhou han walked straight to his office with his briefcase. When he passed by Lin Li’s desk, he stopped and said, &ampampquot &ampampquotCome into my office, I have something to talk to you about.&ampampquot After that, he walked straight into his office.

Lin Li let go of the mouse and took a deep breath, adjusting her emotions that had just been messed up by Chengxiang. Then, she pushed away her chair and stood up, following his footsteps and directly entering his office. She didn’t close the door, because there were only the two of them on this floor. Ordinary people wouldn’t come up if there was nothing important.

Zhou han put the briefcase in his hand aside and glanced at her. Then, he sat on his black Leather Swivel Chair and turned on the computer. As he turned on the computer, he took out the information he brought back last night from the briefcase. Then, he carefully sorted it out and read it carefully.

Lin Li had been waiting for him to open his mouth and give an order, or to ask why he had called her in.

Zhou han browsed through the work he had brought back last night again. Then, he sorted them out and took the documents that had not been processed from the table again. He began to read them seriously, but he didn’t have any intention of speaking.

After standing there for nearly ten minutes, Lin Li felt like she had been played. She stared at him and said, &ampampquot &ampampquotPresident, may I ask why you called me in?&ampampquot Could it be that he was asking her to come in and perform a military posture in front of him? You can’t fool me like this!

Upon hearing that, Zhou han put down the document in his hand and looked up at her. He said lightly, &ampampquot &ampampquotI thought you would have something to say to me.&ampampquot

&ampampquotI have something to tell you?&ampampquot Lin Li looked at him in confusion. She didn’t understand when she had given him such a wrong understanding!

Zhou han leaned back and placed his hands in a triangle on his chest. He said, &ampampquot &ampampquotDon’t you think it’s necessary to explain to me what happened at the door just now?&ampampquot

Only then did Lin Li realize that he was talking about the tussle between her and Chengxiang at the door. She glanced at him and pulled the chair in front of him to sit down. She stood in her high heels for more than ten minutes until her feet hurt. Since he was not talking about work, then there was no need for her to be polite with him. After all, they were only in a cooperative relationship and their relationship should be equal. There was no such thing as his status being higher than hers!

Seeing her sit down in front of him, Zhou han raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything. His face still had that indifferent expression, which was also his most common expression.

Lin Li raised her chin and asked, &ampampquot &ampampquotWhat do you think I should explain to you?&ampampquot

His brows, which were originally raised, furrowed slightly. After a while, he said coldly, &ampampquot &ampampquotI just want you to remember your current identity. Other than your original identity, don’t forget that you’re still Mrs. Zhou! I don’t want to see any news about you in the papers, especially about ‘that’! &ampampquot He hated it when people talked about his marriage in the newspapers again. It was a really bad feeling!

It didn’t feel good to be questioned like this. Looking back at his gaze, Lin Li retorted, &ampampquot &ampampampQuot I still have the contract with me, and I just looked through it again last night. I remember that there is a clause on it that states that we should not interfere with the other party’s personal matters. We are only in a cooperative relationship. Now that you are questioning me like this, are you overstepping your boundaries? &ampampquot

&ampampampQuot I just want you to deal with your personal problems. Don’t let your personal problems involve me. &ampampampQuot Zhou han said coldly, &ampampquot I hate being asked those boring questions. &ampampampQuot

Lin Li shrugged her shoulders, feeling a little bored. She stood up, turned around, and was about to go out when she suddenly remembered that when she went to pick up Xiao bin last night, their teacher said that there would be a sports event in the kindergarten this Friday afternoon, and she hoped that the child’s parents could come to the kindergarten to participate with the child. He turned around again and said, &ampampquot &ampampampQuot Oh right, there’s a sports meet at Xiao bin’s kindergarten on Friday. The teacher said that all parents have to attend. Do you need me to arrange for Friday afternoon to be there? &ampampquot

&ampampquotI’m not free.&ampampquot Zhou han said in a daze. He sat up again and reached out to pick up the information on the table that he had just read halfway. He took a pen and made notes as he read.

Lin Li frowned. In the past half a month, she had clearly seen his attitude towards the child. Although they were father and son, there was no intimacy between father and son at all. He was so indifferent that she couldn’t feel a little concern for the child. She felt a little distressed for the child and emphasized, &ampampquot &ampampquotThe teacher said that parents must attend!&ampampquot Could it be that the company’s matters were more important than her son’s? Even if the child’s mother had hurt him in the past, the child was still his child. They were blood-related, so how could he be so heartless!

Zhou han didn’t really want to talk about this topic, so he just said, &ampampquot &ampampquotThen you can go in my place.&ampampquot

&ampampampQuot I’m not his mother. You’re his father! &ampampampQuot Lin Li glared at him. This man was too cold. He was like this to his own son! He didn’t care about her at all. In fact, he even felt a little disgusted by her coldness.

Upon hearing that, Zhou han laughed. The corners of his mouth tilted slightly, and he looked up at Lin Li again. He said with a playful smile, &ampampquot &ampampquotBut you’re my wife now.&ampampquot

&ampampampQuot Oh my God! &ampampampQuot Lin Li was at a loss for words. She looked at him and couldn’t say anything. Whether it was according to the contract they had signed before or the two red booklets they had taken from the Civil Affairs Bureau half a month ago, there was no doubt that she was Mrs. Zhou!

Zhou han looked at her and continued with a faint smile, &ampampquot &ampampampQuot we’re in a cooperative relationship, so this is your job. &ampampampQuot

Lin Li looked at him unhappily and said in a low voice, &ampampquot &ampampquotIs Xiaobin really your son? You’re too cold!&ampampquot It had been almost half a month since she moved into his apartment. If he didn’t know that they were father and son, he really wouldn’t have been able to tell what kind of relationship they had. His feelings for that child were even worse than that of a stranger!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Han’s entire body stiffened. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and the strength he used to hold the pen almost broke it. His voice continued to be cold as he said, &ampampquot &ampampquotGet out!&ampampquot

Lin Li naturally felt the change in his attitude in an instant. Although she didn’t know why, she didn’t ask any more questions. She turned around and left the office, closing the door behind her. However, the moment she closed the door, she suddenly heard a ‘Bang Bang Bang’ sound coming from inside. It sounded a little like a hand smashing hard on the desk. Her whole body trembled and she was a little frightened. She subconsciously turned her head and looked at the tightly closed door. Lin Li was a little suspicious. Did I say something wrong?

When Lin Li drove to the school, Xiao bin was already standing at the gate with the teacher. Lin Li opened the door and got out of the car. She apologized to the little guy’s form teacher with some embarrassment, I’m sorry I’m late. Actually, it wasn’t supposed to be late, but she didn’t know what happened to Zhou han today. He flew into a rage during the meeting in the afternoon, and when she went to deliver the coffee, she just waved her hand and spilled the coffee on the important document. So, she spent the entire afternoon trying to fix that document. When she finally finished, she realized that it was late. She quickly called Xiao bin’s teacher and asked her to accompany the child and wait for her.

Teacher Chen let go of Xiao bin’s hand and let him go to Lin Li’s side. Then, he smiled and looked up at Lin Li, &ampQuot it’s nothing. It’s just that next time, if Mrs. Zhou can’t come in time for something, please give us a call in advance. Otherwise, if you don’t come to pick her up and the teacher doesn’t know, it will be bad if something happens to the child. &ampQuot

Definitely, definitely! Lin Li quickly nodded and reached out to hold the little guy’s hand, but he turned around and dodged her hand.

Lin Li smiled at teacher Chen awkwardly. She had never liked her ‘cheap mother’. Even though she had been the one picking him up from school these past few days, he had never been willing to let her hold his hand.

Seeing this, teacher Chen just smiled. It wasn’t convenient for her to say more about the student’s family. However, when she saw Lin Li preparing to leave, she stopped her and didn’t forget to remind her. &ampQuot this Friday afternoon is the sports meet. I hope Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou Can come. &ampQuot As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiao bin, who was standing at the side and watching the cars on the street.

Thinking of Zhou Han’s attitude in the morning, Lin Li’s face turned ugly. She was about to reject him but was interrupted by teacher Chen.

Think more about the child. Xiao bin has never been very happy. Teacher Chen looked at her and said it very sincerely.

Lin Li couldn’t reject him anymore and just nodded. &ampQuot I’ll try my best. &ampQuot

After saying goodbye to teacher Chen, Lin Li got into the car with Xiao bin. The little guy didn’t sit in the front, but directly opened the door of the back seat and sat in. Then, he took out his Transformers toy from his bag and fiddled with it.

Lin Li looked at him through the rearview mirror. They had been together for nearly half a month, but she had never seen a smile on this child’s face, not even once. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for this child. Shouldn’t he be the happiest at this age?

After a long while, Lin Li sighed silently in her heart. Then, she looked away, started the car, and left.

In fact, the prenuptial agreement she signed with Zhou han had mentioned that she would take care of the child after ‘marriage’. Although her job was Zhou Han’s Secretary, in order to make it convenient for her to take care of the child, she could get off work an hour earlier every day and come to pick the child up from school.

In fact, speaking of this, Lin Li and Zhou Han’s marriage was also particularly dramatic.

The first time they met, it wasn’t a happy one. Because of Anran’s near miscarriage, Lin Li directly lectured Zhou han and questioned him on how to educate a child. The second time they met, she found out that Zhou han was her Big Boss. She originally thought that he would be biased against her or even fire her because of Anran’s incident, but that worry was obviously her overthinking. Although Zhou han looked a little serious and gave people the feeling that he was powerful without being angry, he was at least a gentleman. He didn’t mix private and official matters and deliberately make things difficult for her at work.

It was just that the third time they met was a little dramatic, and even a little melodramatic. She didn’t even know under what circumstances she became his fiancée. He even had a token of love and even kissed her in front of everyone.

It was only later that she found out that it was because the Commission for Discipline Inspection had been cracking down on corruption during that period of time. They suspected that he had gotten in touch with su Yicheng through Anran and then used some illegal and clandestine means to take over a government case. The reason why he had come to her and told her that she was his fiancée was mainly because the ‘stolen goods’ that had been accused of corruption and bribery had been in her hands at the time. It was also at that time that she found out that the wedding gift Anran had given her back then had originally been his. However, when she took out the necklace and was about to return it to him, he told her not to throw it away. It was such an expensive item, so how could she really throw it away? although the necklace did not bring her any good memories, she still kept it in the corner of the drawer.

She thought that their interaction was just so-so and they would continue to live their own lives in the future. However, she was a little surprised that one day after work, she actually met a rather elegant middle-aged woman at the entrance of the company. She looked very kind to her and held her hand, saying that she wanted to chat with her. Just when she was still a little confused, Zhou han came out of the company with a briefcase and affectionately called the lady ‘mom’. Then, he gave her a look to tell her not to talk too much.
