Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 94
Lin Li left, but she made a phone call before she got into the car.
Anran’s mood was a little low, and she couldn’t help but cry as she sat on the stairs. She thought back to the friendship they had shared for the past ten years, laughing and crying together. Back then, when mo Fei betrayed her, Lin Li was the one who had accompanied her. Without her, she probably wouldn’t have been able to recover from that pain so quickly.
However, now that she was injured, she had to hide and lick her wounds by herself, and there was nothing she could do.
In fact, Anran knew that it would be better for her to leave. After all, there were too many memories of her and Chengxiang here. If she wanted to forget someone, leaving was the best choice.
She wiped the tears off her face, picked up her phone, and dialed Lin Li’s number with her eyes still half-closed. This time, she didn’t call Lin Li, but instead sent her a text message.
“Have a safe journey and take care of yourself.” Your friend forever, an Zi.”
Lin Li didn’t reply, and Anran knew that she had probably turned off her phone. She was always like this, avoiding things when she didn’t want to face them. This time, she really ran far away.
An ran sat in the stairwell for a while longer. After she had calmed down, she turned around and walked back to her office.
When he returned to the office, engineer Chen looked a little worried about the blueprint.
An ran stepped forward and took the drawing from his hand. &Quot; is there a problem? ”
“Uh,” Engineer Chen raised his head and looked at her. He asked tentatively, ” “Designer Gu, are you alright?” Something must have happened when he saw her like that just now. He thought that she had gone out and did not expect her to come back so soon.
Anran’s lips twitched, and she smiled at him faintly. She only said, ” &Quot; it’s okay. Is there anything you don’t know? we can discuss it again. But this case is a bit rushed, and there’s not much time left. We have to hurry. &Quot;
Engineer Chen nodded and pointed out his doubts while looking at the design plan.
By the time Anran came out of the company, it was already almost nine O ‘clock in the evening. Before she got off work, su Yicheng called her and said that he would pick her up, but because she had to work overtime, she didn’t know the time, so she told him not to come. Su Yicheng was still a little worried, so he told her to call him when she was done with her work and that he would come to pick her up.
The moon tonight was very round and bright, but it was a little lonely. It hung high in the sky without a single star beside it. No matter how one looked at it, it felt lonely and cold.
Anran didn’t call su Yicheng and walked alone on the streets. On the side of the street, there was a group of couples wearing couple outfits and smiling sweetly. The man said something, and the woman rolled her eyes at him shyly and scolded him coyly, ” annoying person. &Quot; Then, he turned around and ran away. The man laughed and chased after him. In the end, he caught up with the woman in two or three steps and hugged her from behind. He laughed and spun around happily while holding the woman. The woman laughed and patted the man’s shoulder while screaming. The people around them looked at them with envy and well-wishes.
Anran remembered that at that time, Lin Li also took advantage of the sweet relationship with Chengxiang. Lin Li even stuck to Chengxiang every day, and then showed off how much they loved each other in front of everyone without minding it. However, time was like a shadow, and time flew by. When she looked back, things had remained the same, but people had changed. She had broken up with mo Fei halfway, while Lin Li and Chengxiang had no way out.
As she walked, the phone in her bag rang at this time. She was a little surprised to see that it was a call from Chengxiang.
He let the phone ring for a long time before it hung up and rang again. This repeated over and over again. Chengxiang seemed to be very patient. Anran knew that he definitely wanted to ask about Lin Li, but if she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have done it in the first place. People would only know what they had once had after they had completely lost it. And when they had it, they would never know how to cherish it.
Sighing softly, he finally accepted the call.
Before Anran could say anything, Chengxiang anxiously said, ” &Quot; Anran, tell me where Lin Li is! &Quot; His tone was very anxious and his emotions were very agitated. There was no trace of the gentleness and elegance that Chengxiang usually had.
“Does her whereabouts have anything to do with you?” An ran said indifferently, ” if I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have done this. &Quot;
&Quot; tell me where Lin Li is. I only found out that she was discharged today when I went to the hospital in the afternoon. But where could she have gone? I couldn’t find her at the hotel. &Quot; He had searched many places, but there had been no news at all. He didn’t know where she had gone, so in the end, he had called Anran. He knew that it was too late for him to say anything now. He had hurt Lin Li too deeply, but he really loved her!
“Chengxiang, that’s enough. I won’t tell you where Lin Li went. She avoided you because she didn’t want to see you. She spent ten years on you, how much more time do you want her to waste on you? You can’t be too selfish. Now that you know to turn back, you want her to wait for you at the same place. What is this? are women cheap? I’m not going to love you again after being hurt so badly!” Anran said excitedly into the phone.
&Quot; Anran, tell me. I know that I was ridiculously wrong in the past, but I swear that I will love Lin Li properly in the future. I really love her, and I really want to return to her side. &Quot; Said Chengxiang, his tone carrying a hint of begging. He couldn’t find Lin Li today, and couldn’t find her anywhere. He was truly afraid. He had thought that Lin Li would still love him after being angry for a few days, and that she would forgive him and return to his side sooner or later. But today, she had disappeared without a trace. He was afraid that he would really lose her forever.
&Quot; I’ve said it before, I won’t tell you. Just give up on this idea. &Quot; After an ran finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Lin Li’s injury needed time to heal. She had escaped from Jiang city just to give herself some time to recover and slowly lick her wounds.
Holding it in her hand, the phone rang again in the next second. It was still a call from Chengxiang. Now, he was so determined to get it back. If he had spent a little more time on Lin Li and not treated her as someone else’s replacement, Lin Li would not have been so sad.
He opened the phone’s back cover and took out the phone’s lithium battery, then put it back into his bag. When he looked up again, the street was still bustling. The night market in the distance was crowded with people, and all kinds of goods were being sold on the densely packed Street.
Anran was a little annoyed and didn’t call for a taxi immediately. Instead, she walked alone on the neon-lit Street, slowly walking toward her home. As soon as she entered the neighborhood, she saw su Yicheng’s car pass by her at a high speed. After sitting in a car for so long, Anran naturally recognized his car. She turned around in a daze, but before she could say anything, she saw the car that had just passed her suddenly stop after driving for five or six meters. Then, the car door was opened, and su Yicheng’s expression was a little serious as he walked straight toward her. He then stood in front of her and looked at her fixedly.
Anran looked at him in a daze. From his face, she could tell that he wasn’t in a good mood. She didn’t know what had happened, so she could only ask in a daze, ” “You’re going out?”
Su Yicheng looked at her and felt a little angry. He had been waiting for her call at home, but she never called. It was getting late, but she never came back. He was a little worried and tried to call her, but her phone was busy. He hung up and tried to call her again, but her phone was turned off. He had no idea what had happened to her, and he didn’t know if she had finished working overtime and was ready to go home. He had no idea about any of this. She tried again, but her phone was still turned off. He stayed at home for a while, but she still didn’t come back. He was a little worried that something had happened to her. This worry made him feel a little uneasy, so with this thought, he couldn’t sit still. He grabbed the car keys on the short table and drove directly to her company to see if she had finished work. Even if she hadn’t, he was going to bring her back this time. However, before they could even leave the neighborhood, she slowly walked in with her bag. Seeing that she was fine, his suspended heart was finally at ease. However, what replaced his worry was the slight anger and anger he felt.
Hearing no reply from him, an ran asked him again, ” “What’s wrong with you?”
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything. He directly reached out and took her hand, opened the door, and let her get in the car. His actions were a little rough and not very gentle.
An ran was pushed into the car, stunned. Then, he started the car and drove back.
On the way home, su Yicheng didn’t say a word, but his expression was a little tense, and his grip on Anran’s hand was a little heavy.
Su Yicheng opened the door for her to see, then turned around and trapped her between the door and himself. He stared at her and asked in a questioning tone, ” &Quot; didn’t you say to call me to pick you up? why didn’t you call me? ”
“Uh, I, I was afraid of troubling you.” Anran looked at him and was a little scared. He was so aggressive and domineering, completely different from his usual gentle and elegant self.
&Quot; I just called you, but the notification said that you were on the line. I hung up and called again, but it said that your phone was turned off. I don’t know your office number, or even your colleague’s phone number. I don’t know anything, so I couldn’t find you. I didn’t know what to do. I don’t know if you’ve gotten off work or left the company. I was a little anxious, anxious that I couldn’t find you. I didn’t know if something had happened to you. I waited at home for a long time, but you didn’t come back. I was worried, so I took my car keys and prepared to go to your company to take a look. But I saw you carrying a bag and slowly walking in from outside.” With his hands on both sides of her, su Yicheng looked into the corner of her eyes and said firmly, ”
Anran looked at him apologetically and said, ” “I didn’t want to trouble you, so I didn’t call you. I’m sorry.”
Su Yicheng looked at her for a long time before he slowly said, ” &Quot; Anran, I wanted to pick you up because I was worried about you, but you said you didn’t want to trouble me. We’re husband and wife. Do you really think there’s a need to use the word ‘trouble’ between us? ”
An ran stared at him, unable to speak for a moment.
“In the future, if you’re afraid that I’ll be worried, at least give me a phone call. Don’t make me unable to find you even if I call you. Even if your phone is missing, you can call me using the landline phone, but don’t make me unable to find you. I didn’t know what to do when I couldn’t find you. Isn’t this a good feeling?”
Anran looked at him and said apologetically, ” “I’m, I’m sorry,” She didn’t think of it at the moment, so she hung up the phone without calling him.
“AI!” Su Yicheng sighed softly and slowly eased his tone. He looked at her and said, ” &Quot; Anran, I’m angry because I’m worried that something might have happened to you, and I don’t know. Other than knowing where you work, I don’t know where else you’ll go. If I can’t find you at your company, I don’t know where else I can go to find you. I’m not afraid of trouble when I pick you up, because it makes me feel at ease. I’m only worried when I can’t contact you. That’s why I feel scared sitting at home.”
As he spoke, su Yicheng’s hand slowly touched her face, gently touching it, and he slowly said, ” “Don’t be so polite to me in the future. I’m not afraid of trouble. I’m only worried and scared when I can’t contact you, you know?”
Anran looked at him, and her tears unconsciously flowed down on their own. She couldn’t control them at all, and they came very fiercely.
Su Yicheng was stunned and a little frightened by her tears. He couldn’t help but blame his tone for being too harsh. He reached out to wipe the tears off her face and comforted her, ” “Don’t cry, I was just anxious, I didn’t mean to blame you.”
Anran looked at him, who was crying and laughing at the same time. She didn’t know what to say, so she just shook her head. Of course, she knew what he meant. Because she knew, she felt a little touched. Other than her parents, he was the first person to be cherished like this. Back then, when he said that mo Fei treated her well, he had never been so nervous about her.
Anran’s tears were like those of a disobedient child. No matter how hard she tried to wipe them away, neither su Yicheng nor Anran could wipe them away. He had no choice but to bend down, hold her face, and kiss away the tears on her face bit by bit. When the tears entered his mouth, they were salty and bitter.
An ran wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him back seriously.
Passion always came quickly, and after a while, su Yicheng had already moved her to the room with his arms around her. Lying on the bed, she looked at him with misty eyes and reached out to touch his face gently. There was a half-smile on her lips, but she was once again glad that she had been impulsive at the beginning, and she was once again glad that the man she had met was him. She thanked him for cherishing and doting on her, as well as for his gentleness and consideration. In fact, she had never had high expectations for love or marriage. She didn’t need the other party to be rich because the burden of a family wasn’t just a man’s responsibility. She would also take the initiative to bear it and work hard to make the family live better. She didn’t want to have an ordinary relationship that didn’t need ups and downs. She just wanted a man who was considerate, understood her, and pitied her. And he completely met her requirements for an ideal partner. He even exceeded her standards by a lot.
Su Yicheng took off their clothes and looked at her eyes, which had become a little misty because of lust. Her eyes were still a little misty, and her big eyes looked particularly charming and attractive. His hand slowly touched her silky skin and touched it longingly. He knew all the sensitive spots on her body and knew where he would touch to make her tremble and let out that irresistible alluring sound from the corner of her mouth. He had never thought of himself as a lustful person, but he was particularly infatuated with her body and had fallen for her time and time again.
He slowly lowered his body and kissed every part of her body.
An ran was aroused and trembled slightly under him. She felt him kissing every part of her body, including those places that she found difficult to speak of. In the heat of the moment, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Anran’s mind. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, then turned over and pressed him under her. Her long hair had long fallen over her shoulders because of the pull just now, and her naked body with her long hair draped over her shoulders was particularly seductive in this situation, with her unique charm.
Su Yicheng was a little dazed as he looked at her, and a certain part of his body was extremely tense.
“An ran …” Su Yicheng gently called her name and wanted to press her down again in unison, but she gently pushed him to stop him. Anran’s face was very red at the moment because of her shyness. She stared at him and slowly leaned over to his ear and whispered, ” “Tonight, I’ll be on top tonight.” That voice was soft and gentle with her unique charm. As she spoke, her warm breath directly sprayed on his ear. That slightly itchy feeling made his whole body tremble, and it took him a while to react. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and asked with some difficulty,”W-what did you just say?” At this moment, his voice was already very hoarse, not as gentle and pleasant as usual.
Anran was shy, and her face was extremely red. She was a little embarrassed for her boldness, and at this moment, the action of straddling his figure made her feel even more ashamed. &Quot; I, I, I still … &Quot; as she spoke, she wanted to get off him, but he held her fair and tender thighs down, not letting her get off him. Su Yicheng lay flat on the ground, his large palm caressing her fair thigh while the other palm clasped her butt, not letting her leave.
Anran’s face reddened, and she stared straight at him. She suddenly regretted her impulsiveness, because she had no idea what she should do next. She had no experience, no experience at all.
Su Yicheng’s breathing was a little erratic, and his chest was slightly heaving up and down. He looked at her, and his entire body was a little tense.
Anran looked at him, and she was so nervous that she didn’t know what to do. She looked at him steadily, and the sweat on her forehead came out. She was a little embarrassed. Anran looked at him with a defeated expression and said with a crying face, ” “I, I, I, I don’t know what to do!”
Su Yicheng chuckled and put his hands on her waist. He looked at her and said in a slightly hoarse voice, ” “I’ll teach you.”
When they were done, Anran was lying on the bed, exhausted. Her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn’t open them at all. She had a new experience tonight with the series of high energy-consuming, high-calorie, and physical exercises that she had done at night. She had thought that she would be so tired that she would fall asleep without saying a word no matter where she lay, but after seeing the nights, she had a new understanding. It turned out that the people up there were the ones who consumed the most energy! However, when she saw su Yicheng’s appearance, and how he even had the strength to carry her in the shower with her, she couldn’t help but wonder how his physical strength could be so good.
She allowed su Yicheng to carry her to the bathroom to wash up. As she fell asleep in a daze, Anran vaguely remembered about moving. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck to make sure that she wouldn’t fall off, then slowly let go of him. She rested her head on his strong chest and said in a daze, ” “Another day, let’s find a time to move.”
The location was close to her office, and it was only a few minutes ‘walk. This way, he didn’t have to take a detour to send her to work every day before going to work himself. Besides, in the next month, she would be busy with the activities at the manor, so it would be common for her to work overtime at night. She knew that he was busy, so he couldn’t pick her up every day. Since they lived close to each other, he could rest assured when he went back and forth.
Su Yicheng looked at the person in his arms, nodded with a smile, and replied, ” “En, good.” Everything would be up to her. If she didn’t like him, then he didn’t care about anything.
Due to work, Anran was the one moving, so she really didn’t have time. In fact, there wasn’t much to pack. Other than their clothes, the furniture and electrical appliances had all been arranged. He just had to pick a time to move their clothes over.
That day, before she got off work, she received a call from su Yicheng, asking if she could come back earlier that night. In fact, today’s work was almost done, but in the afternoon, Huang Dexing informed her that he had a dinner appointment in the evening and asked her to accompany him. Socializing was part of work, so even if Anran didn’t like it, she couldn’t refuse it. She only nodded and agreed.
“I have a dinner appointment tonight, but I don’t know when it’ll be over.” An ran told the truth.
“I see.” Su Yicheng said in a low voice. There was a little disappointment in his tone, but it wasn’t obvious.
Anran could hear his disappointment and couldn’t help but ask, ” &Quot; what’s wrong? do you have something on tonight? ”
On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng chuckled and only said, ” “Try to come back earlier tonight. Remember to call me when the dinner is ready and ask me to pick you up. Don’t be afraid of the trouble.”
Anran felt warm inside. She smiled and nodded. &Quot; yes. &Quot;
After ending the call, Anran was about to go to the sample room to find worker Chen to discuss the problem of the balcony’s renovation. As soon as she left the office, she saw Huang Dexing coming over and telling her to get ready so that she could take his car and go to the restaurant with him. Anran had no choice but to nod and return to the office. She grabbed her makeup bag and was about to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.
When they reached the washroom, they happened to run into Xiao Xiao, who had just come out of the washroom. The two of them were stunned.
Xiao Xiao looked at the makeup bag in her hand and couldn’t help but smile sarcastically. &Quot; “It’s really different if you marry well. You even have more social gatherings now.”
Anran glanced at her and didn’t say anything. She just wanted to walk past her and go to the bathroom.
&Quot; didn’t I remind you to watch your man? ” Xiao Xiao said coldly. &Quot; aren’t you afraid that someone will take advantage of you? ”
Anran stopped in her tracks. She didn’t turn around and only said lightly, ” are you trying to say that you’re the one who took advantage of my loopholes? ”
Xiao Xiao laughed. &Quot; I just wanted to tell you that with su Yicheng’s qualities, ” she said, ” other than me, he probably also wants other women. &Quot; After saying that, he turned around and left.
When Anran turned her head, all she saw was her flirtatious walking posture, and she felt a little confused about her nonsensical words.
