Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 71

The man also saw an ran. He was equally shocked and even more panicked. This man was none other than Chengxiang, who was supposed to be on a business trip.

Anran stared at Chengxiang and frowned. Just as she was about to ask him why he was here, a woman came out of the bathroom. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her facial features were exquisite. However, her face was a little pale at the moment, making her look a little delicate.

The woman walked past an ran and reached out to hand it to Chengxiang. She smiled at him and only said, ” “Let’s go,” he said.

Chengxiang glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He nodded, and as he helped her out, he turned to look at Anran. His gaze was complicated, and Anran couldn’t understand it.

Anran watched as Chengxiang helped the woman leave and finally disappeared from her sight. Anran was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She quickly took out her phone from her pocket and called Lin Li without thinking too much.

However, when Lin Li’s voice came from the other end of the phone, Anran suddenly didn’t know what to say. She had known Lin Li for more than ten years. The two of them slept on the same bunk bed in school, and their relationship was even better than that of real sisters. She knew Lin Li’s personality very well. Although she looked carefree, cheerful, and lively, when it came to relationships, she was very fragile. In fact, she was not as strong and tough as she looked.

“Hello, an Zi, are you looking for me for dinner?” Lin Li’s voice was very cheerful, and one could tell that she was in a good mood at the moment.

“Is Chengxiang home?” Anran asked after a moment of silence.

&Quot; no, I’m not. Don’t you know that I’m on a business trip? I’ll only be back in two or three days. &Quot; “What’s wrong?” Lin Li asked. You’re looking for him?”

Anran’s heart turned cold. If Cheng Xiang lied to Lin Li, then the text message that Lin Li saw before was also true? But how could Chengxiang be such a person!

“Hello, an Zi?” Lin Li didn’t hear a reply for a long time. &Quot; are you there? ”

&Quot; yes, ” Anran quickly replied. &Quot; I’m here. &Quot;

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you looking for Chengxiang?” Lin Li could tell that Anran was acting a little strange today, but she didn’t think much about it.

&Quot; it’s fine. I have a colleague who wants to do investment and asked me if I have any acquaintances in the Securities field. &Quot; Anran made up an excuse. Perhaps she should tell her about this matter later, at least until things were clear. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding in the middle. Besides, Lin Li was still pregnant, and she couldn’t allow her emotions to fluctuate too much.

Lin Li believed him and didn’t think much about it. She said directly, ” “Oh, I see. I’ll get Chengxiang to contact you when he comes back.”

Anran nodded and replied,”okay.” &Nbsp; The two of them chatted for a while, but before hanging up, they couldn’t help but ask, ” “Lin Li, did Chengxiang call you?”

“Yes, three times in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I’m on time.” Lin Li said, her tone full of happiness and pride.

“Oh, really?” Anran replied in a low voice. She looked up and saw Chengxiang walking toward her from the corridor.

“An Zi, you’re acting weird today. Did something happen?” Although Lin Li was carefree and heartless, she wasn’t stupid. Anran made her feel strange today. Although she couldn’t tell what was wrong, she felt that something was off.

Anran smiled and actually made her tone natural. She only said, ” &Quot; hehe, you’re thinking too much. I’ll talk to you later. I still have something to do here. I’ll call you back later. &Quot; After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Li to speak.

When she raised her head again, Chengxiang was already standing in front of her. He looked at her with guilt and apology in his eyes.

The two of them were silent for a while. Anran stared at him, her eyes threatening, and her tone was unprecedentedly cold. &Quot; are you going to explain yourself to me when you turn around? ” Or are you afraid that I’ll call Lin Li?”

Chengxiang looked at her and secretly sighed.”It’s not what you think.”

“I didn’t imagine it, I saw it with my own eyes.” An ran said coldly.

“So you called Lin Li?” Chengxiang asked, his clear and handsome expression unable to hide the panic he was feeling at the moment.

“Yes, but I didn’t tell her that I met you here.” Anran said frankly, ” I don’t plan on letting Lin Li know about this before things are clear, so I want to hear your explanation. Why did you lie to Lin Li that you went on a business trip? ”

Chengxiang was obviously relieved. He looked up at Anran and said, ” “Thank you,” he said. He also knew Lin Li’s character, not to mention that she was pregnant now.

“I didn’t tell her because I wanted you to thank me.” An ran said this without any expression.

“I know,” “That girl just now is my friend. We’ve known each other since we were young, but we’re not in the kind of relationship you’re thinking of.” Chengxiang nodded.

“Ha, childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates.” An ran sneered.

“It’s really not what you think!”

“Then why did you lie to Lin Li that you were on a business trip? And you even made up such a ridiculous lie to deceive her!” An ran asked seriously.

&Quot; I don’t want her to overthink it. She’s pregnant now, and it’s easy for her to overthink. &Quot; He glanced at Anran, then turned around and leaned against the wall. He sighed softly and said, ” “She’s my friend. We’ve known each other since we were young. Some time ago, something happened to her, and she no longer has any friends or relatives by her side. Now that she’s sick, I’m here to take care of her. This is the truth, I’m not lying to you. I didn’t tell Lin Li because I didn’t want her to overthink. Sometimes, lying isn’t a malicious lie.”

“You can hire a nurse.” It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to spend the money. After all, it was inevitable that others would think too much when they saw a man and a woman alone.

“She doesn’t let anyone get close to her.” Chengxiang said.

“So you’re special?” An ran asked.

&Quot; I only see her as my younger sister, and she only sees me as her older brother. There’s no one else! &Quot; Chengxiang explained.

Anran didn’t say anything and stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, the phone in her hand rang. It was a call from Lin xiaofen. She reached out to pick it up. It turned out that Lin xiaofen had already arrived at the hospital, but she didn’t know where the ward was. She was now downstairs in the inpatient department, and Anran was asked to go down and pick her up.

After ending the call, he raised his head to look at Chengxiang and said seriously,”Lin Li is my friend. I don’t want to see her get hurt at all. We’ve known each other for 10 years. I know how you treat Lin Li, so I believe what you just said is true.”

Chengxiang heaved a sigh of relief, ” thank you. &Quot;

Anran nodded and said, ” however, there are differences between men and women. Maybe you can try to find people and friends that the girl knows to take care of her. If I can meet them today, it means that someone else will meet them tomorrow. I don’t want these words to reach Lin Li’s ears and cause her to misunderstand. You know how much she loves you and relies on you. Don’t look at how carefree she is. She’s not strong. &Quot;

Chengxiang nodded, ” I know. &Quot;

Anran looked at her watch and didn’t say anything more. She turned around and walked toward the elevator.

When they arrived downstairs, Lin xiaofen was already there. When she saw Anran, she quickly asked, ” &Quot; what exactly happened? why did he suddenly end up in the hospital? ”

“It’s a stomach ulcer. I drank too much during the social gathering yesterday.” Anran replied. She reached out to take the fruit from her mother’s hand and pressed the elevator button.

When the mother and daughter returned to the ward, they heard a scolding and a slightly agitated tone from inside before they pushed the door open.

Lin xiaofen turned to look at Anran in confusion. Anran also shook her head in confusion. She wasn’t sure what was going on, but from the sound of that voice, it should be Qin Yun’s.

When he pushed the door open, he saw Qin Yun standing in front of the bed, glaring at his son and reprimanding him for not taking care of his body at all. Su yijiao, who was standing beside him, covered her mouth and snickered, obviously gloating over his misfortune. He turned around and saw an ran come in. He smiled and said, ” “Sister-in-law.”

“Mom, yijiao, you’re here.” An ran nodded at them with a half-smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, the other two people in the room also looked in Anran’s direction at the same time. Qin Yun saw Anran’s face was full of smiles, and su Yicheng was the first to see Lin xiaofen, who was standing behind Anran, and he called out, ” “Mom,” she said. She propped herself up and wanted to get off the bed.

Seeing this, Lin xiaofen hurriedly stopped him. &Quot; Aiya, just lie down and rest. Don’t get up. &Quot;

Only then did Qin Yun notice Lin xiaofen, who was standing behind Anran. She looked at Anran, then at Lin xiaofen. She quickly stepped forward and smiled.”This must be your in-law,”

Lin xiaofen also laughed. She looked at Qin Yun and also called out, ” in-law. &Quot;

&Quot; an ran looks like her in-law, no wonder she’s so beautiful. &Quot; Qin Yun said with a smile.

Lin xiaofen laughed as she sized up Qin Yun. It was just as Anran had said-she was an easy-going person who didn’t put on any airs.

“I didn’t expect that our first meeting would be like this. This is all ah Luo’s fault.” As Qin Yun spoke, she turned around and glared at her son. &Quot; you know that your stomach isn’t good, but you still drank so much. You’re simply courting death. You’re already an adult, but you’re still so worrisome. &Quot;

&Quot; our Anran isn’t good either. She’s been spoiled by her father and I since she was young. She doesn’t know how to take care of people at all. &Quot; As Lin xiaofen spoke, she also rolled her eyes at Anran. They had just gotten married, and she was already taking care of Anran in the hospital. Fortunately, the SU family was a decent family. If it were any other indecent family, they might have started to gossip.

&Quot; hey, how can you blame Anran for this? ah Zhen’s stomach has always been bad, and he didn’t control himself when he had to entertain too many people. Now that he’s in this state, he asked for it. &Quot; Qin Yun didn’t side with her son at all.

Although it was the first time the two of them met, they were no strangers. They had a lot to talk about as they sat together. In fact, they didn’t really do anything. They sat together and praised each other. Lin xiaofen said that su Yicheng was good, that he was diligent in everything and knew etiquette and rules, while Qin Yun praised Anran for being obedient and obedient.

Anran looked at the two of them with a smile, and when she turned her head, her eyes met su Yicheng’s, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

In fact, they didn’t sit there for long. After knowing that su Yicheng’s old illness had relapsed and that he was fine, they got up and went back. Anran sent them out the door, and su yijiao volunteered to send the two mothers home. Lin xiaofen asked her to stay in the ward and take good care of su Yicheng, and then asked Anran to make more light food after su Yicheng was discharged from the hospital to nourish his stomach.

After sending off the two mothers and returning to the ward, su Yicheng was lying on his bed. When he saw her come in, he reached out and waved at her, motioning for her to come over.

“What’s wrong?” Although an ran was confused, she still walked toward him.

Su Yicheng shifted his body, patted the empty bed next to him, and said, ” “Come up and sleep for a while.” He could tell that she was exhausted. She was indeed exhausted from last night.

An ran blushed and shook her head. &Quot; I, I’m not sleepy. &Quot;

“Get on.” Su Yicheng insisted.

“I’m really not sleepy.” Anran mumbled, but still obediently stepped forward. However, she only stood by the bed and didn’t sit down.

Su Yicheng reached out to pull her over and forcefully made her fall on the bed.

“Ah, Yingluo!” Anran let out a cry of surprise. She broke free of his hand and remembered that they were in the hospital. This was a Ward, and he was a patient. What the hell was she doing sleeping on the bed at this time? if the nurse who would come later to put her on a drip and deliver medicine saw this, how could she still face anyone?

Su Yicheng’s hand was quick, and he directly wrapped one hand around her waist and said in her ear, ” don’t move, or you’ll pull the needle. &Quot; Her tone was soft and gentle, and it sounded a little aggrieved and awkward.

Upon hearing this, Anran didn’t dare to move. She was really afraid of pulling the needle in his hand, but it wasn’t good to be carried like this. She looked at the door. This nurse could come in at any time. She would be a joke if she saw this!

“You, can you let go of me? I’m really not sleepy. Do you want to eat an apple? I’ll peel it for you.” An ran said, unwilling to give up.

Upon hearing this, not only did su Yicheng not let go, but he also seemed to hold her even tighter. He whispered in her ear, ” “Lie down and sleep with me for a while. I didn’t hug you, so I didn’t sleep well last night.” The voice was soft and gentle, but it was hard to hide the grievance and awkwardness in the tone.

This time, Anran was at a loss for words. She lay down with him in a daze and turned her head to look at his handsome face in front of her. His long eyelashes were very thick and very beautiful.

Su Yicheng looked at her dazed expression and was a little moved that she had given up her persistence because of his words. He bent over and kissed her on the forehead. Looking at her slightly closed eyes and trembling eyelashes, a beautiful smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. However, he didn’t miss the dark circles under her eyes. He put his hand around her neck and let her rest on his arm as usual, then said softly, ” “Go to sleep.” After saying that, he closed his eyes as well.

Anran lay down with her eyes closed for a while. When she heard his familiar and gentle breathing next to her, she opened her eyes and looked at his peaceful sleeping face. The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She propped herself up slightly and carefully lifted the blanket with one hand. Then, she tried to get out of bed as gently as possible, but in the next second, someone hugged her waist and pulled her into a warm embrace.

Anran suddenly turned around to look at him, only to see that su Yicheng’s eyes were still closed, and even his expression was the same as before. Anran couldn’t help but wonder if he had really woken up just now.

She childishly waved her hand in front of his eyes, but there was no reaction. Not even her eyelashes fluttered.

She lay in bed for another five minutes to make sure that su Yicheng was asleep and that he had only done it unintentionally in his sleep. Anran carefully removed his hand again, lifted the blanket, and once again tried to get out of bed lightly. However, before she could do anything else, her body was once again brought into his warm embrace. This time, he hugged her even tighter than before, and their bodies were pressed tightly against each other. Her plump body pressed against his strong chest, one hard and one soft, and it was a wonderful feeling.

“You, you’re awake?” Anran looked at su Yicheng and asked in a low voice, a little uncertain.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Anran, and then closed them again. He calmly replied, ” “Sleep with me for a while.”

This time, Anran was completely dispirited. She stared at him for a long time before finally giving up on leaving. Not long after, she felt sleepy. Last night, she was afraid that he would wake up in the middle of the night and ask for water or something, so she didn’t sleep. She just closed her eyes and leaned against the edge of the bed for a while. He was really sleepy now, and his eyelids were heavy. Then, he slowly, slowly closed his eyes. Not long after, he could hear a faint, calm breathing.

After Anran fell asleep, su Yicheng, who was next to her, slowly opened his eyes. Looking at her sleeping face, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Then, he adjusted her to a comfortable position, closed his eyes again, and slowly fell asleep with her breathing.

When Anran woke up again, the bed next to her was empty. She raised her hand to look at her watch. It turned out that it was already seven O ‘clock in the evening, and she had slept for more than five hours. She quickly sat up and turned around, but su Yicheng was nowhere to be seen in the entire room. An ran curled her lips and didn’t get out of bed. She didn’t know where he had gone, and the bathroom in the room was empty. She walked toward the door in confusion, but stopped in front of the door. She heard su Yicheng’s voice, as well as another man’s voice. It wasn’t Secretary Zheng’s voice, but it was a little unfamiliar, so she thought it was probably his friend.

“How’s the renovation of the house over there?” Su Yicheng asked as he sat on the plastic chair by the door of the ward.

“The soonest will be next Friday.” Ye Ziwen said. He looked at him and gave him a punch. He said hatefully, &Quot; you owe me a beating. I’ve used all my free time on vacation for you, and I still have to help you keep an eye on him the whole time. Do you think I owe you something in my previous life? to actually be your brother! &Quot;

Su Yicheng smiled and nodded. &Quot; no problem. &Quot;

Ye Ziwen also laughed. In fact, he was just saying it casually. The two of them were as old as the Dean of a University and could be said to have grown up wearing the same pants. Their relationship was even closer than that of real brothers.

After laughing, ye Ziwen looked at him and kept the smile on his face. He said seriously, Ling Lan’s influence on you is still so great? ”

Su Yicheng turned his head and glanced at him, then calmly retracted his gaze and calmly replied, ” “No, I didn’t,”

“If you didn’t, would you have ended up like this?” Ye Ziwen sneered. She didn’t believe his words at all and said,”How did you get this stomach disease? How many years has it been since you’ve acted up? now that she’s back, you’re acting up and drinking red, yellow, and white together. Do you think you have an iron stomach?”

“You’re thinking too much,” Su Yicheng casually said, ” I drank too much yesterday with a few people from the planning Bureau. It’s not like you don’t know how unreasonable Yang Zhengdao can be. If I didn’t drink, would I have been able to come back? ” It’s not like you don’t know about these dinner parties, so of course, drinking is inevitable.”

“Is this an explanation? I don’t remember you having the habit of explaining things to others.” Ye Ziwen said coldly, clearly not believing his nonsense.

Su Yicheng glanced at him and didn’t speak again.

The two of them were silent. After a long time, ye Ziwen slowly opened his mouth and said,”Do you want me to go talk to Ling LAN?”

“No need.” Su Yicheng refused. Actually, it didn’t matter if they talked or not. He had said everything that he needed to say that night. From now on, she was just someone he knew and nothing more.

Ye Ziwen sighed softly and did not say anything more about this topic. The two of them sat for a while. Ye Ziwen suddenly thought of something and asked, &Quot; hey, what’s hidden in the room? why aren’t you letting me in? who doesn’t even allow visitors to enter the ward? ”

Su Yicheng chuckled and turned his head to look at the door of the ward, which was left ajar. From the light shining on the room, he saw a certain someone’s figure, and the smile on his face became even more obvious. Then, he turned his head again and said to ye Ziwen, ” “Don’t you think you should go back?”

Ye Ziwen looked at him strangely. People were always like this. The more you didn’t want him to know, the more curious he would be. Ye Ziwen was like this at this moment. &Quot; I must see who you’re hiding in there today. &Quot; As she spoke, she turned around and was about to enter the ward, but her hand was caught by su Yicheng the moment she was about to push the door open.

Su Yicheng looked at him with a smile and said in an unhurried tone, ” “Yijiao kept asking me for your other number. Maybe I should consider giving her your number. After all, she’s my sister, and I’m closer to her.”

Ye Ziwen suddenly felt a chill on his back and quickly retracted his hand that had yet to touch the door handle. He coughed lightly and said,”I suddenly remembered that a client said that he wanted to add another design to the balcony some time ago. I-I’ll go back first then.” With that, he turned around and tidied his clothes, ready to leave.

Su Yicheng smiled faintly. &Quot; well, I’ve been quite busy recently, ” he said. &Quot; I probably don’t have much time to meet yijiao. &Quot;

Ye Ziwen nodded and mumbled something before saying, ” let’s go. &Quot;

When su Yicheng pushed the door open and returned to the ward, Anran was sitting on the sofa with a magazine in her hand. She was flipping through it, but she didn’t realize that she had flipped the magazine upside down.

Su Yicheng saw this, but he didn’t expose her. The smile on his face only grew wider, but he still asked in a serious tone, ” “You’re up?”

Anran nodded her head randomly. &Quot; yes. &Quot; However, she did not dare to look at him. She was not sure if he knew that she had been eavesdropping at the door. In fact, she didn’t do it on purpose. The door wasn’t closed at first, and their voices weren’t ‘low-key’. At that time, she was just about to go out to find him, so she overheard their conversation by chance.

“Are you hungry?” Su Yicheng asked.

An ran stood up abruptly and said, ” “You must be hungry, I’ll go buy food.” He couldn’t help but regret that he had slept too deeply just now. He had slept for a few hours, and it was already past seven O ‘clock in the evening. How could he not be hungry? As she thought about it, she grabbed her coat and bag and went out.

“An ran.” Su Yicheng called out to her and shook his head helplessly. He pointed to the lunchbox on the cabinet next to him and said, ” “I asked Ziwen to bring it when he came just now.”

An ran was embarrassed. She put her bag and clothes back and asked in a low voice, ” “Is he the one who was talking to you outside?” Only after he finished did he realize that he had confessed.

“Yes.” Su Yicheng nodded. He didn’t pursue the matter or was displeased with his eavesdropping. He took out the food from the lunchbox and placed it on the small table one by one. &Quot; hurry up, ” he turned to Anran and said. &Quot; it’s getting cold. &Quot;

Anran went over and sat down next to him. The food was mostly vegetarian and light. She took a bite of the vegetables, which tasted very good.

Su Yicheng picked up his bowl and chopsticks and ate. He ate very quickly, but he was very gentle, not rough or barbaric at all.

The atmosphere was a little quiet. Anran fiddled with the food in her bowl and asked, ” “That, that friend of yours doesn’t get along with yijiao?” Her tone changed when she heard that she was going to give her number to yijiao.

“Yijiao likes him,” Su Yicheng chuckled. Thinking about the relationship between ye Ziwen and yijiao, he felt angry and funny at the same time. Yijiao had always liked ye Ziwen and loved to follow him around since she was young. However, Ziwen’s attitude was unclear. It was not that he didn’t like her, but he had always avoided her.

“He doesn’t like yijiao?” Anran was a little curious. Although she hadn’t seen yijiao much, su yijiao gave her a good feeling. She was generous and cute. How could anyone not like a girl like her?

Su Yicheng smiled, added a piece of meat, and put it in Anran’s bowl. He only said, ” you’ll know in the future. &Quot;

Anran looked at him in confusion, but she didn’t ask any questions. She lowered her head and ate the food he had just given her.

Su Yicheng stayed in the hospital for two nights, and after confirming that all his vitals were normal, the doctor finally let him go. During this period, people learned that su Yicheng was hospitalized due to an illness, and many people called to visit him, but su Yicheng rejected all of them, saying that it was not appropriate to exaggerate his minor illness.

Because of his health, some of su Yicheng’s work matters were temporarily delayed. He was discharged from the hospital on a weekend, and Anran had withdrawn from the project to build the city Hall building because of the destruction of her design drafts. As for the bidding document that was originally scheduled to be done in the next two days, it had nothing to do with her.

It was a rare weekend, and it was rare that both of them had nothing to do. On the day su Yicheng was discharged from the hospital, Qin Yun called and asked them to return to the courtyard for the weekend. She also prepared a medicinal meal for su Yicheng to recuperate.

The two of them thought that there was really nothing much to do, so they agreed readily. They only went back to the apartment to get two sets of clothes to change into, then picked up their bags and prepared to set off for the courtyard.

An ran didn’t know if someone was waiting for them on purpose or if it was really a coincidence.

When the elevator door opened, Ling LAN was standing inside. She was wearing a beige chiffon dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she had a smile on her face. She looked like a fairy.

Anran couldn’t help but be taken aback. She was a little suspicious of whether Ling LAN was specifically spying on their every move. Otherwise, how could they be so coincidental every time?

Compared to Anran’s surprise, su Yicheng appeared to be much more composed. He nodded at her, held Anran’s hand, and walked directly into the elevator.

In the elevator, Ling LAN was the first to speak. &Quot; what a coincidence, we meet again. &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just stared at the number that was constantly dropping. In order to avoid the awkward atmosphere, Anran forced a smile and nodded at her. &Quot; yes, what a coincidence. &Quot;

Ling Lan’s sharp eyes caught sight of the small luggage in su Yicheng’s hand, and she asked curiously, ” “You’re going on a long journey?”

Anran was just about to answer when su Yicheng said first, ” &Quot; yes, I’m going out with Anran this weekend. &Quot;

“Is that so?” Ling Lan’s tone darkened, and she didn’t look as angry as before.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The elevator reached the first floor of the basement in silence. Su Yicheng held Anran’s hand and walked towards the car parked there, with Ling LAN following behind them.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he called out from behind them, ” “Where are you guys going? I haven’t gone out for a long time. Do you want to go together? you don’t mind bringing me along, right?”

Anran froze and subconsciously turned her head to look at su Yicheng. Su Yicheng turned around and said without much expression on his face, ” &Quot; we mind. Miss Ling, you should find someone else. &Quot;

Anran saw Ling Lan’s smiling expression freeze. She stood there in a daze, her eyes staring straight at su Yicheng, and her face looked very hurt.

Su Yicheng didn’t look at her again. He turned around, took Anran’s hand, and walked toward the car that was parked on the side. He put the luggage in his hand into the back seat, then opened the door to the front passenger seat for Anran to get in. Then, he walked around the front of the car and got into the driver’s seat on the other side. He started the car and slowly drove out of the underground parking lot. Throughout the entire process, he didn’t even turn his head to look at Ling LAN once.

The car slowly drove in the direction of the military compound. It was a little quiet in the car. Su Yicheng didn’t drive very fast, but he was very stable.

After a while, Anran said, ” why don’t I drive? you’ve just recovered. You should rest. &Quot; The military compound was more than an hour’s drive from the city. It was tiring to drive for a long time.

Su Yicheng turned his head and smiled at her, only saying, ” “I’m not that delicate.” As he spoke, he held the steering wheel with one hand and took Anran’s hand with the other. He held it and asked, ” “Are you bored? do you want to listen to some music?”

Anran shook her head and didn’t pull his hand away. Habit was a wonderful thing. It hadn’t been long, but she was already used to being held by him and the temperature of his palm. “Let’s turn on the radio,” she said with a smile.

Su Yicheng nodded noncommittally. &Quot; okay. &Quot;

He turned on the radio. It was the sound of the city’s traffic. The host broadcasted the road conditions as if he was broadcasting a new story, old-fashioned and boring. It was switched to another channel. It was a joyful program. The host used a humorous way to tell these ordinary things that were not actually funny. It was very close to life, but it was also funny. Listening to his embarrassing story, which everyone had experienced before, her mood became cheerful.

After laughing, a music program played the most popular music at the moment. Anran listened to a few of them and didn’t think there was anything special about them. Old songs were still worth reminiscing.

The emcee was a girl. From her voice, it was hard to tell her age, but her voice was a little sweet. The show had opened a platform for messaging and interaction. The first message was from a mother who had selected a song for her baby. Today was her baby’s birthday, and she hoped that her baby would be healthy and happy every day. The emcee presented zhang Xuan’s ‘baby’ to the driver. The melody was beautiful, and zhang Xuan’s voice was pleasant to the ears as well. His low voice resounded throughout the entire car.

The next message was from a user named lonely. She said that she loved her ex-boyfriend very much, but they were separated because of a misunderstanding. Now that she met him again, her ex-boyfriend already had a new lover. She only recently found out that she lived in the same community as her ex-boyfriend, and she always felt sad when she saw them holding hands and smiling happily every day. She couldn’t give them her blessings. She always felt that this happiness should have belonged to her, but she accidentally lost it.

When the host expressed her feelings about this message and comforted the girl named lonely, Anran subconsciously turned her head to look at su Yicheng. She saw that his expression was still the same as before, and he was completely unmoved by this. He was focused on the road ahead, and his hand was still holding her hand with a force that was neither light nor heavy.

The emcee presented the girl with a song called ” the pig that lost its happiness. &Quot; Jiang Yuyang’s voice sounded a little sad, and the tune of the entire song was not cheerful, but carried a low sorrow.

She threw her love away,

Who could understand this heart-wrenching pain?

If the path of love could be paved again

I won’t let you cry for me again.
