Translator: 549690339

When Lin Li came back, Anran was still in a daze.

Lin Li put down the things in her hands in front of her and waved them in front of her. &Quot; What are you looking at? ”

Anran finally came back to her senses and looked at Lin Li. &Quot; I just saw su Yicheng. &Quot;

“Oh, is that so? then why didn’t you ask him to come in?” As Lin Li spoke, she sat down in front of Anran. She didn’t notice the strange expression on Anran’s face. She just took the chicken roll from the plate, opened the paper bag, and began to gnaw on it. She was also enjoying the coke on the side. She glanced at Anran and said in a teasing tone, ” “What, you can’t eat after seeing your own husband?”

Anran rolled her eyes at her and simply said, ” “I saw him with a woman.” She didn’t know that su Yicheng was still in contact with Ling LAN?

Lin Li took a sip of Coke and burped, not caring about her image at all. She said, ” “Woman? what woman?” As she spoke, she took a chicken wing for Xiao bin and whispered to him to eat properly so that he wouldn’t choke.

Anran shook her head after a moment of silence, then said, ” “It’s nothing. I’ll go back and ask him,”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li raised her head to look at her and asked, a little worried, ” “An Zi, did something happen?”

Anran shook her head and smiled. &Quot; what could happen? don’t worry. &Quot;

Lin Li thought for a moment, then nodded and said, ” &Quot; that’s true. Your family’s leader su is considered a perfect man. He’s rich and has real power. He’s handsome and dotes on you a lot. &Quot; Then, he looked at Anran in a daze and said, ” &Quot; an Zi, you’re so lucky. You can even meet such a good man! &Quot;

Anran also smiled, her face full of happiness. She felt that she was lucky enough to have met su Yicheng and married him.

&Quot; tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at your blissful and satisfied face. &Quot; Looking at her, Lin Li shook her head in amusement. She suddenly thought of something and asked, ” “Hey, is your leader SU’s need in that area really that big?”

Anran didn’t know how to react for a moment. She looked at Lin Li’s confused face and asked, ” “What?”

......

Lin Li looked at her and smiled ambiguously, then said, ” “I’ve read the newspaper from that day.” “Is it true?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.

Anran suddenly realized what she meant by ” that kind of request “. Her face suddenly burned up and she rolled her eyes at her. &Quot; boring. &Quot; He didn’t dare to look at her again after he finished speaking. He lowered his head and only focused on eating the risotto on his plate.

“Hahaha.” On the other side, Lin Li already knew the answer from her blushing face. She laughed without caring about her image, making many people look over curiously. Xiao bin, who was eating chicken wings happily, also stopped and looked at her in a daze. He didn’t know what she was laughing about.

Considering that Anran had already left for a day yesterday, and that she was pregnant with twins, the three of them didn’t go anywhere. They sat in KFC for the whole afternoon, and Xiao bin excitedly went to the children’s area to play with the friends he didn’t know.

Lin Li looked at Xiao bin and would shout from time to time, ” Xiao bin, slow down. Don’t fall. &Quot;

At this time, Xiao bin showed the liveliness and joy of a child.

“Is this really a good idea?” Anran looked at her and asked softly.

Lin Li didn’t turn her head, her eyes still looking at Xiao bin in the activity area. After a while, she faintly replied, ” “Yeah, it’s pretty good.”

An ran didn’t say anything else. Sometimes, making a choice might not be a bad thing.

In the evening, Lin Li drove Anran back home. The little guy in the back seat was so tired that he fell asleep with a faint smile on his face.

Lin Li drove very slowly, not only because there was a pregnant woman in the car, but also because there was a child who had fallen asleep from playing.

When they arrived at Anran’s house, Anran didn’t rush to get out of the car. Instead, she sat in the car for a while, then reached out to hold Lin Li’s hand tightly. She looked at her and said, ” “Lin Li, you must be happy!”

Lin Li looked at her and only smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Anran nodded, then sighed silently. She let go of her hand and said, ” “Let’s go,” She opened the door and got out of the car. Without turning her head, she strode straight towards the building. However, she felt an inexplicable sourness at the tip of her nose. She did not even know why.

After Anran got out of the car, Lin Li parked the car on the side of the road for a long time before driving away.

When she got home, Mrs. Zhang was preparing dinner. She greeted Anran, but Anran only responded faintly and looked a little down. He wanted to say something more, but he heard an ran say that she was a little tired and wanted to go into the room to lie down for a while.

Su Yicheng returned home earlier today, before six O ‘clock.

When aunt Zhang saw him return, she worriedly mentioned Anran’s abnormal behavior after she went out and came back. Su Yicheng only raised his eyebrows. He didn’t even put the briefcase in his hand into the study before he carried it into the room and saw Anran lying on her side on the bed. Her eyes were tightly closed, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

He reached out to smooth her furrowed brows. Anran didn’t seem to be in a deep sleep, so he woke her up with a touch. Seeing him in front of her, she was slightly stunned for a while before she smiled gently and said, ” “You’re back.”

Su Yicheng also smiled at her, nodded, and replied, ” “Yes, I’m back.” As he spoke, he took off his coat, lifted the blanket, and went straight to the bed. He put an arm around her shoulders and let her lean into his arms.

Anran rubbed her head against him and found a comfortable position. Then, she rested her head on him and gently hugged his waist.

Su Yicheng’s hand gently stroked her back from time to time, and he slowly stroked her hair. Then, he gently whispered in her ear, ” Mrs. Zhang said that you went into the room as soon as you came back. What’s wrong? did you encounter something unhappy when you went out with Lin Li? ”

Anran hugged him for a while before she said softly, ” Yicheng, do you think pregnant people like to be sentimental and overthink things? ”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng only raised his eyebrows and asked with a chuckle, ” “What are you feeling good about? Can you tell me?”

“Lin Li and Zhou han are married.”

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised. “Is that so?” he said indifferently.

Anran leaned into his arms and slowly said, ” I don’t know if this is a good thing. I’m very happy for Lin Li that she can get married and start a new relationship, but I feel bad for her to use this method to give up her marriage. &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything, but his hand was still gently patting her back in an irregular manner.

“She’s only getting married because she wants to give her parents an explanation.” An ran murmured softly. She understood this kind of helplessness too well, because she had done the same thing in the past. She said softly, ” looking at her, I feel like I’m looking at the past. &Quot;

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng chuckled and asked with a smile, ” &Quot; even if you decided to get married back then just to give your family an explanation, we’re doing well now, aren’t we? ”

Anran withdrew from his arms, looked up at him, and said, ” “But are Lin Li and Zhou han the same as us?” Zhou han wasn’t su Yicheng, and Lin Li had been hurt too deeply by Chengxiang!

“Silly girl.” Su Yicheng pinched her nose and said, ” “Matters of the heart depend on fate.” He held her in his arms again and interlocked his fingers with hers, placing them on her bulging belly. They were pressed tightly together so that the family could have the closest contact. He said, ” “Sometimes fate is so wonderful. When you want it to come, it may not necessarily come. When you don’t want it to come, you turn your head suddenly, and it has already come without you knowing. In fact, we are all the same. We always treat every relationship with a serious attitude. We all want to have a good relationship, but sometimes, experience is for the sake of cherishing it in the future. Experience is for the sake of meeting the right person. Perhaps Lin Li’s fate was Zhou han. Who could say for sure? What we can do is not to sigh for her and not feel aggrieved for her. All we can do is to wish her well and wish her a better life. We can only pray and pray that they are each other’s destined one.”

Anran didn’t say anything. She just leaned against his chest and listened to him quietly.

“An ran, Did you know? Before I met you, I didn’t dare to accept my feelings, because I can’t forget the feeling of being betrayed. I thought I would never dare to touch that Thing Called love in my life, but I met you.” As he spoke, su Yicheng lowered his head and gently kissed the center of her hair.

An ran didn’t say anything, but she tightened her grip on his hand. In fact, it was the same. Before she met her, she had thought that she would never love again. The purest and simplest love in school had changed in the end, not to mention that she had married someone she had only known for half a day. It was just that she didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected result at the beginning. Now, she was most grateful for her impulsiveness back then.

&Quot; in the beginning, we were all the same. Just like you said, we had an unshirkable responsibility and responsibility to our parents and family. However, after getting to know each other, I realized that we were actually the same. We both paid the price on that path, and we both knew how painful the pain was, so we knew how to cherish it even more. We knew how difficult it was to meet someone who would walk the same path as us for the next few decades. Sometimes, I wonder if the pain I suffered back then was because I was waiting for you to appear so that I would know how to cherish you.” Su Yicheng chuckled and whispered in her ear, ” do you think that’s the case? did you suffer the pain back then because you wanted to meet me later? ”

Anran laughed at his words. Why was it that he could always make her laugh when it came to such a heavy topic? he could always make her feel as if a warm current had been injected into her heart, making her feel extremely warm.

She withdrew from his arms and looked at him, asking, ” “Leader su, did you all specially learn how to say such words when you participated in the party school cadre training?”

Su Yicheng smiled, as if he could still seriously think about it. He shook his head and said, ” “I don’t think so.”

Anran poked his chest with her hand. &Quot; then tell me, where did you learn all these words from? ” The most hateful thing was that she always enjoyed his sweet words. This couldn’t do. She couldn’t even be angry with him even if she wanted to. He always laughed out loud after only three sentences. Wasn’t this too spineless?

Su Yicheng laughed, bent over, and pecked her on the lips. &Quot; I learned it without a teacher. I seemed to have learned it since I met you. &Quot;

“You’re so glib.” An ran wrinkled her nose at him childishly.

Su Yicheng patted her head affectionately and asked, ” “Do you still feel good?”

Hearing this, an ran smiled and shook her head. She only said, ” &Quot; maybe. Just as Lin Li said, I can meet you, and she will also meet her Prince. &Quot;

Su Yicheng nodded and let her lean on his chest again, then said, ” “Yes, I will.” He gently placed his hand on her bulging belly and asked softly, ” “Baby, did you move a lot today?”

Anran laughed and laughed at him. &Quot; Oh, Mayor su, you don’t have any common sense. She’s only four months pregnant. How can she move so frequently? didn’t the doctor say last time that the fetal movement is usually weak at four months? ”

“Is that so?” Su Yicheng frowned and muttered to himself, ” “No wonder I only felt that one fetal movement. It was weak to begin with!”

Anran laughed and suddenly remembered something. She grabbed his hand, which was caressing her stomach, and asked, ” tell me, what have you been doing today? ”

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said,”to work.” &Nbsp; She grabbed his hand and wrapped it around his.

Anran turned to look at him and said, ” “Then tell me, who did you meet today?” She didn’t want to guess. She didn’t want to keep guessing. Although she didn’t know much and didn’t have much experience in getting along with a husband and wife, she felt that when two people were together, whether they were friends, lovers, or husband and wife, they should at least be honest. This was the most basic respect for the other party.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said, ” &Quot; I met Secretary Zheng, Secretary Zhang, people from the bidding office, team leaders of some projects, and ... Ling LAN. &Quot;

When she heard Ling Lan’s name, Anran let out a sigh of relief. At least she knew that she didn’t hide it on purpose. At least she knew that he respected her.

&Quot; I went out with Lin Li today. When I was having lunch, I happened to see you and Ling LAN driving past. &Quot; Anran said, ” actually, I don’t have any other meaning in asking you. I’m just afraid that I’ll let my thoughts run wild and make wild guesses. &Quot; Now that she knew that he had no intention of hiding it, she was relieved and would not think too much about it. He was willing to be honest and respectful to her. Similarly, she would learn to trust him and believe in him.

&Quot; Ling LAN came to me. She wants me to help her father. &Quot; Su Yicheng opened his mouth to explain, ” actually, she called me last night regarding this matter, but I rejected her. I’m afraid. &Quot;

Anran covered his mouth with her hand and looked at him seriously. &Quot; “I believe you, so I don’t need to explain.”

Su Yicheng looked at her steadily, smiled, nodded, and didn’t say anything else. In fact, Ling LAN had come over not long after he had arrived at his office in the morning. She had insisted that he bring her to see Ling Chuanjiang. He had refused, but she had refused to leave no matter what. She didn’t want to blow up the matter. In the end, after Ling LAN had agreed to only do it once, he had pulled some strings and found someone to arrange for the father and daughter to meet in the afternoon.

An ran also smiled and snuggled up against his chest, her small hand playing with his big palm.

It was the holidays, so su Yicheng’s work wasn’t really that busy. Although he went to work every day, he came back quite early at night.

Sometimes, the two of them would go out for a walk together, but considering that an ran was pregnant, they only took half an hour each time, because an ran’s feet would always ache at night. After she got pregnant, Anran suddenly fell in love with watching movies. In some of the old movies from the last century, she liked to sit on the sofa with su Yicheng, then lean into his arms and watch the TV screen. However, every time, Anran wouldn’t persist until the end. She would always fall asleep in su Yicheng’s arms after reading half of it.

That night, Anran dragged su Yicheng to watch a movie with her again, and then, at this moment, in su Yicheng’s arms, her eyelids began to fight. Her eyelids were so heavy that they kept sinking, but suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her whole body quivered, and then she opened her eyes abruptly, muttering, ” “Don’t sleep, you have to watch carefully this time ...”

Su Yicheng chuckled, shook his head, and touched her head.

However, in the end, an ran couldn’t resist Zhou Gong’s summoning. After a few struggles, although she was still mumbling to herself that she was going to fall asleep, she still couldn’t open her eyes. Her eyelids were heavily closed.

Su Yicheng only lowered his head to kiss her hair in amusement, and then he could only maintain his previous position and hug her for a while. When the movie was about to end, he carried her to the bedroom.

He gently put her down, only to see that he was suddenly away from her. An ran mumbled a little uncomfortably, but she didn’t wake up.

Su Yicheng had just tucked her in when Anran’s phone, which was placed on the bedside table, suddenly rang. The sleeping Anran seemed to be startled by the sudden ringing, and her whole body trembled unsteadily. Su Yicheng immediately took the phone and muted it, then reached out to gently Pat Anran’s back to comfort her. After she calmed down, he took the phone and went out.

It was a call from Lin Li, so he picked it up immediately. Before su Yicheng could say anything, Lin Li had already said, ” &Quot; Anzi, the photography studio that helped you contact said that a couple will be free tomorrow afternoon. Can you ask your family’s leader su if he’s free? if he is, I’ll help you schedule the shoot until tomorrow. You know, you’re pregnant with twins now. The longer you delay, the bigger your stomach will get. Your own physical strength won’t be able to keep up. If it’s possible, let’s just film it tomorrow. &Quot;

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng went through the next day’s work in his mind. There wasn’t anything particularly important, so it probably wouldn’t be a big problem to arrange for him to take half a day off.

After not hearing Anran’s reply for a while, Lin Li couldn’t help but ask, ” “An Zi, are you listening?”

Su Yicheng came back to his senses and said, ” then let’s arrange it for tomorrow afternoon. I’m free. We can shoot it. &Quot; In fact, a few days ago, he had accidentally seen a paper photo in the drawer of the bedside table. It was the photo they had reported last time, but Anran had cut it out separately.

“Uh, leader su?” On the other end of the phone, Lin Li was stunned. She was obviously surprised that the person who picked up the phone was su Yicheng instead of an an.

Su Yicheng chuckled and explained,”Anran is asleep.” &Nbsp;

“Oh.” On the other side of the phone, Lin Li understood and then said, ” “If leader su is free tomorrow, I’ll talk to the studio about the arrangements.”

“Alright, sorry for the trouble.” Su Yicheng said politely.

&Quot; tsk, an Zi is my best friend. There’s no need to talk about trouble over such a small matter. &Quot; Lin Li didn’t care. After she finished speaking, she directly said, ” &Quot; alright, I’ll contact the studio first. You can go there directly tomorrow. &Quot;

“Alright, thank you.” Su Yicheng thanked her and hung up the phone. Then, he picked up his phone again and called Secretary Zheng, preparing to arrange his work for the next day.

The next day, when Anran woke up, washed up, and went out of her room, she was surprised to see a certain someone in her home clothes in the living room and kitchen. Her hair was still a little wet as she made breakfast in front of the gas stove, while Mrs. Zhang was wiping the coffee table in the living room. “You’re awake, Madam,” he said with a smile when he saw an ran.

Anran nodded at her in a daze. When she turned around, she saw that the man who had his back to her just now had turned his head around. He was holding a spatula and smiling at her.

Anran walked up, sat down at the bar, and asked, ” “You’re not at work?” Why was he still at home at this time?

Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; yes, ” he said, ” I don’t have anything to do today, so I don’t plan on going. &Quot;

“Is that so?” Anran furrowed her brows and muttered in a low voice, ” why did I hear you say yesterday that you had a meeting in the morning? ”

Su Yicheng chuckled and didn’t explain much, only saying, ” “Sit down, breakfast will be ready soon.”

Anran didn’t think too much about it. It was good that he didn’t go to work. That way, he could spend more time with her. She nodded and sat down on the high chair as she said, ” Yicheng, since you didn’t go to work today, why don’t we go to mom’s house? I kind of miss them. &Quot;

Su Yicheng placed their breakfast on the table, then nodded and said, ” “We’ll go tonight.” As he spoke, he poured her a glass of milk.

Anran felt a little strange when she heard this. &Quot; then what are we doing during the day? ” she asked.

Su Yicheng chuckled and said, ” “It’s a secret, you’ll know later.”

An ran muttered in amusement, ” you’re so mysterious. &Quot; However, she did not ask further. She was also looking forward to his surprise.

It was really a surprise, a surprise and joy!

After lunch, when su Yicheng drove her to the entrance of the photography building, Anran looked at him in disbelief. &Quot; why did you bring me here? didn’t Lin Li say that the soonest she’d be here would be the end of October? ”

Su Yicheng considerately leaned over to unbuckle her seat belt, then explained everything that Lin Li had said on the phone after she fell asleep last night.

Hearing this, Anran couldn’t help but cry out. &Quot; ah, why didn’t you tell me? I wasn’t even ready. &Quot; As she spoke, she took out a small makeup mirror from her bag and looked at herself. &Quot; “How is it? Is it okay for me to do this? Don’t you look dispirited?”

Every woman loved to look pretty, especially when they were taking photos. They were very strict with themselves because everyone wanted to look good in the photos.

Su Yicheng took her hand, which was sweating a little because of her nervousness, and said, ” &Quot; great, everything is great. My wife is the most beautiful person in the world! &Quot; He patted her hand to comfort her and said, ” “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Anran still looked at him nervously. In the end, she nodded and held his hand tightly.

Anran’s nervousness continued until the start of the shoot, mainly because she frequently wanted to go to the bathroom while she was putting on makeup. Su Yicheng was worried every time, so he always accompanied her there. Anran felt that if it weren’t for su Yicheng’s identity, they would have probably gotten angry a long time ago. She simply put on a simple nude makeup, but it took her more than half an hour to finish it.

Finally, when it was time for the actual shooting, the tension suddenly disappeared, and the whole shooting process went smoothly. The only small interlude was not the calm leader su, who had been on many big scenes and was calm in the face of changes.

Because she was pregnant with twins, Anran’s belly was no longer small. At the photographer’s suggestion, Anran prepared to take a set of pregnancy photos. The photographer originally wanted to ask the makeup artist to draw a cute smiling expression on Anran’s belly, just like those funny belly photos on the internet. Then, he asked su Yicheng to cooperate with the other baby’s fathers and do some funny actions. The effect of the photos should be very good, but considering su Yicheng’s image, he asked, Although an ran was very tempted, she still refused. She only agreed to wear a set of clothes that revealed her belly, and then let su Yicheng hug her from behind and take a few simple photos of her.

In the end, before they were done, su Yicheng half-squatted in front of Anran at the photographer’s request, lowered his head, and gently kissed Anran’s stomach. This kind of action should have been very easy for su Yicheng, so he naturally raised his head to look at Anran, and Anran affectionately planted a kiss on Anran’s big belly. Anran naturally reached out and placed her hand on su Yicheng’s head, gently caressing it. Everything was very natural.

However, just as the photographer said ” very good ” and ” keep your posture and take a few more photos, ” su Yicheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Anran as if he had been greatly shocked. An ran smiled and didn’t say anything, but her eyes and eyebrows were smiling very beautifully.

The photographer and lighting technician didn’t know what had happened. They couldn’t help but ask, ” w-what’s wrong? ”

Su Yicheng mumbled something, but no one knew what he was saying. Then, he put his ear directly on Anran’s big belly, and his hand was still on her belly, as if he was feeling something. He kept saying, ” baby, I’m daddy. I’m here to say hello to daddy ... &Quot;

It was only then that the people present realized that Anran’s stomach had started to move at that moment, and su Yicheng’s reaction was precisely because he was excited after feeling the fetal movement.

Anran, on the other hand, was just like before, stroking su Yicheng’s head with a satisfied and happy smile on her face.

The photographer suddenly realized that this scene was more heartwarming and natural than any of the previous scenes. He took out his camera and took a few photos in succession.
