Marriage First, True Love Later Novel-Chapter 128

Anran was woken up by her hunger, and her empty stomach growled uncomfortably. When she woke up in a daze, it was still dark outside. She looked through the open window and saw that it was dark outside, with only a little white light.

There was a small light on the other side of the bed, and it illuminated the entire room. When Anran turned her head to look, she saw su Yicheng lying next to her with his back facing the light. Anran was stunned for a while before she reached out and gently touched his face. The real touch made her certain that she wasn’t dreaming when she woke up in a daze last night. This touch and temperature wouldn’t lie, and the corners of her mouth curved up beautifully.

Su Yicheng had always been a light sleeper, so a light touch woke him up. His eyes were still a little hazy, and it took him a while to see her clearly. He smiled at her, raised his hand, and gently placed it on her hand. He pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it, then slowly said, ” “You’re awake?” His voice was still hoarse and hazy from just waking up, and it was extremely low.

Anran nodded. She was about to speak when her stomach beat her to it.

“Gu Gu Lu”

It was as if time had stopped. The two of them just looked at each other, and then there was no movement.

An ran clearly felt her face heat up, as if it was on fire.

Su Yicheng also realized what was going on, and he reached out to pinch her little nose with a smile, asking, ” “Are you hungry?”

Anran nodded in embarrassment, then shook her head violently and said, ” “I-I’m not hungry. It’s your stomach. Your little lover is hungry!” With a red face, an ran said it seriously, but the credibility seemed to be a little low.

Su Yicheng looked at her in amusement, but he didn’t expose her. Instead, he went along with her and said, ” “Yes, my little lover is hungry.” As he spoke, he bent over and kissed her flat stomach through her clothes. Then, he put his ear against her stomach and patted it gently. He even said to an ran’s stomach in a serious tone, ” “Baby, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?” After a long while, he nodded and said, ” “Oh, okay. I’ll ask her.” Then, he sat up.

Anran laughed at his serious expression, and the heat on her face faded. She looked at him with a smile and asked, ” “What did your little lover say to you?”

Su Yicheng pinched her nose and said with a smile, ” “She’ll eat whatever she says mommy will eat.”

Anran laughed and said,”it’d be best!.” He said it as if it was true.

......

He reached out and rubbed her face, his fingers running across her delicate skin. He smiled and asked softly, ” “What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”

Anran turned to look outside and frowned. &Quot; “It’s not even daybreak yet.”

“It’s fine. Breakfast restaurants usually open early.” Su Yicheng said.

Anran looked at him with her big eyes and said with a smile, ” “Then I’d like to have some plain porridge and some red bean paste buns.” “Um, can I have fried dough sticks?” she asked in a low voice. Suddenly, she really wanted to eat it, but she also knew that fried food was the most unhealthy.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng looked at her and said, ” I’ll buy you porridge and bean paste buns. As for youtiao ... &Quot; he then shook his head and said, ” “You can’t!”

“I knew it.” An ran muttered in a low voice.

Su Yicheng smiled and rubbed her head, then sat up, lifted the quilt, and got off the bed. As he put on his clothes, he said, ” “I’m going to buy you some porridge and bean paste buns. Be good and wait for me here.”

Anran looked outside, then raised her hand to look at her watch. It was only 5:30, not even 6. Although she didn’t know what time he came back last night, she could see how tired he was from the shadows under his eyes.

Her heart ached for him. When he was about to turn around and go to the bathroom to wash his lunch box, she reached out to hold his hand and said to him, ” “Why don’t we go later? you can sleep a little longer.”

Su Yicheng smiled and touched her head, only saying, ” “I don’t want my baby to go hungry.” She did not know if he was referring to her or the ‘little lover’ in her stomach.

An ran was still shy, so she looked at him with a blushing face and a happy smile on her lips.

When Qin Yun arrived at the hospital with the pot of chicken soup that she had stewed overnight and the fragrant porridge that she had just made in the morning, she heard soft voices coming from inside before she even pushed the door open.

“I don’t want to eat anymore. I still have porridge here. I really can’t eat anymore.” It was an ran’s voice. It was soft and sweet.

“Be good and eat this. You didn’t eat much.” It was su Yicheng’s voice, warm and doting. Qin Yun didn’t know that her strict son could speak in such a low and gentle tone.

Qin Yun was not in a hurry to go in. She carried her things and quietly eavesdropped on the situation inside. She was an understanding mother and also a mother-in-law who kept up with the times and knew how to be interesting. Naturally, she would not suddenly barge in and disturb them at this time.

In the ward, Anran pointed at the table and said, ” &Quot; no, I didn’t. Look at me. I ate porridge, bean paste buns, and a shaomai. I really ate a lot! &Quot; She was hungry, but not to the extent of a famine. He had actually bought porridge, bean paste buns, shaomai, and even soy milk, and all of them were for two. She had to eat all of these by herself. How could she finish them all?

Su Yicheng looked at the disposable plate on the table and thought that she had indeed eaten a lot, so he nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot; He reached out his chopsticks and picked up the last shaomai dish on his plate. Then, he swallowed it along with the soybean milk.

Anran lowered her head to look at the half-filled bowl of plain porridge in her bowl. Then, she looked at him and called out to him gently, ” Yicheng. &Quot;

“What?” Su Yicheng responded softly and looked up at her. &Quot; what’s wrong? ” As he spoke, he took the napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Anran poked at the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, then looked at him and said, ” “Can I just waste my food for once?” As she said this, she even made a special promise to him, &Quot; not much, just a little. Look. &Quot; as she spoke, she showed him the half-filled bowl of rice, as if to prove that she was telling the truth.

“You.” Su Yicheng shook his head with a chuckle and looked at her affectionately. He reached out to take the bowl from her hand, then finished the remaining congee in a few bites.

Anran looked at her with a smile on her face. &Quot; Yicheng, you’re the best. &Quot;

After eating, su Yicheng affectionately tapped her nose, then began to clean up the things on the table.

“Mom, why are you standing at the door? why don’t you go in?”

Su yijiao’s voice suddenly came from outside the door. Upon hearing this, the two people in the room looked at each other, and then looked straight at the door of the ward.

The door opened, and su yijiao came in with a big basket of fruit. Anran saw Qin Yun, who was behind her, looking at su yijiao with a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if she was blaming su yijiao for ruining her happy occasion.

Su yijiao didn’t notice her mother’s resentful eyes at all. She came in with a fruit basket and greeted Anran and su Yicheng with a smile, ” brother, sister-in-law, Good Morning. &Quot; As he spoke, he walked over to Anran. Looking at her ruddy complexion, he asked, ” &Quot; sister-in-law, are you alright? are you feeling well? ”

Anran nodded at her. &Quot; yes, it’s good. &Quot;

Su yijiao nodded, then turned to su Yicheng and asked, ” “Brother, are you okay?” She only found out that her brother had been invited to tea by uncle Yan when she got home yesterday!

“I’m fine.” Su Yicheng only said this lightly, but his hands didn’t stop moving. He immediately cleared away the disposable utensils left behind from the breakfast they had just finished.

Upon hearing this, su yijiao knew that when he said that he was fine, he was definitely fine, so she didn’t ask much. However, she was a little worried about those who had offended her brother. She and su Yicheng had been siblings for 26 years, so she definitely didn’t think that her brother, that Black-bellied Wolf, would let this matter go. Moreover, she heard from her mother that this time, it had even implicated her sister-in-law and almost caused her to have a miscarriage, so the consequences were obviously serious.

Qin Yun put away her resentful eyes and walked over to Anran with a smile on her face. She put the chicken soup and congee in her hands on the cabinet next to her and said with a smile, ” “I wanted to bring you breakfast earlier, but I didn’t expect you to have already eaten.” After putting the things on the cabinet, he turned around and looked at Anran again. Seeing that her face was ruddy and not as pale as yesterday, he couldn’t help but smile and nod. &Quot; you look much better than yesterday. &Quot;

Anran smiled faintly and looked at the thermos on the bedside table. She then turned to Qin Yun and said, a little embarrassed, ” &Quot; mom, it’s such a long journey. Don’t give us any more in the future. We’ll buy it ourselves. &Quot; It was more than an hour’s drive from the military compound to the city. It would be very tiring to come so early in the morning and also to make porridge and soup.

Qin Yun furrowed her brows and said disapprovingly, ” “How can the ones bought outside compare to the ones made at home?”

Anran took her hand and said softly, ” “Mom, we just don’t want you to suffer so much.”

Qin Yun looked at her for a long time before she sniffled and turned to su Yicheng and su yijiao. &Quot; &Quot; see? I told you. A daughter-in-law is better than any son or daughter. She’s the best at caring for others. &Quot; Then, he turned his head and glanced at su yijiao, who was standing beside him, and said coldly, ” &Quot; unlike some people, at this age, don’t even talk about feeling sorry for me. It’s good if she doesn’t get angry at me. It’s fine if she doesn’t come back for a month, but she doesn’t even call me. If something happens to me one day, she’ll definitely not know anything. &Quot;

Su yijiao rolled her eyes. She naturally understood the meaning behind Anran’s words. She looked at Anran bitterly and said, ” &Quot; sister-in-law, can you not be so nice? look at how much mom likes you, but I’m being criticized by her every day. I’m about to break down. &Quot; He even shouted a few times in an exaggerated manner.

An ran and Qin Yun couldn’t help but laugh.

Qin Yun even rewarded her with a chestnut and said, ” it’s only after comparing that I know there are good and bad. If you’re unfilial, then so be it. Why are you pulling other people’s strings? ”

Su Yicheng rubbed his head, which was a little painful, and wrinkled his nose as he said, ” &Quot; Okay, okay. To show my filial piety, I’ll have someone send over the nutritious meals sister-in-law will have at the hospital in the next few days. I guarantee that they’ll be fresh and nutritious. &Quot; As he said that, he went forward and put his arm around Qin Yun’s shoulder. He said in a fawning tone, ” “How about this, my dearest Mother?”

Qin Yun looked at her, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. &Quot; that’s more like it. &Quot;

Looking at them, an ran chuckled. She was in a good mood.

When su Yicheng returned from taking out the trash, the phone in his pocket rang. It was ye Ziwen. He didn’t interrupt the women’s conversation inside. He took the phone to the corridor outside the ward and answered the call.

“Ah Luo, are you okay? I heard from my old man that you were invited to have tea yesterday!” Yesterday, when he went back to the courtyard, his old man had specifically asked him about ah Zhen, which made him very confused. After listening for a long time, he finally understood that ah Zhen had been invited to tea by the investigation team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The matter seemed to have caused quite a big deal, and the provincial Office had specially sent people over.

“It’s fine. Can I still answer your call if there’s anything?” Su Yicheng said with a faint smile, then sat down on a plastic chair against the wall, crossing his legs elegantly.

“Ha, that’s true.” Ye Ziwen laughed and said, ” but it seems like you’ve offended quite a few people. Otherwise, why would you have such a mess? ”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng softly responded, ” well, maybe. &Quot; His sudden promotion had probably hindered the interests of many people.

&Quot; I heard that Gu Anran was admitted to the hospital. Is she alright? ” Ye Ziwen asked out of concern.

“I’m fine.” As he spoke, he gently opened the door and looked at the person inside. He thought of something and said into the phone, ” “Zi Wen, help me gather some information.”

The person on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned. Ye Ziwen asked,”You’re ready to take action?”

As he held the phone, su Yicheng only said, ” “I just don’t want to be so passive every time.”

Ye Ziwen did not say much and only said, &Quot; I know. If you want me to investigate anything, send me an email later. &Quot;

“Yes.” Su Yicheng nodded in response. Some things and some people didn’t seem to be what he thought. Since he had chosen to start like this, there should always be an end.

&Quot; that, that ... &Quot; on the other end of the phone, ye Ziwen suddenly stammered. He wanted to ask something, but he looked a little hesitant.

Su Yicheng slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, ” “What?”

On the other end of the phone, ye Ziwen took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision. He asked,”Have you seen Lil Jiao recently?” ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

“Yijiao?” Su Yicheng frowned, stood up, turned around, and half-pushed the door open. He looked at su yijiao, who was now in the ward with an exaggerated frown, and asked, ” “What happened between you and yijiao?”

“No, nothing!” Ye Ziwen hurriedly explained, ” I’m just asking. I just came back from abroad and haven’t seen him for a few days, so I’m just asking. It’s nothing special. &Quot;

The more he explained, the more su Yicheng felt that he was guilty. He narrowed his eyes and reminded him, ” “Wen, I hope you still remember what I said to you at the bar last time.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Then, ye Ziwen said,”I still have something to do here, I’ll hang up first.” Then, without waiting for su Yicheng to say anything, she hung up the phone.

Su Yicheng looked at his phone and shook his head helplessly.

Su yijiao stayed in the hospital for a long time before she received a call from the store. She then got up to leave, but just as she was about to leave, su Yicheng stopped her at the door of the ward and asked, ” “What’s going on between you and Ziwen recently?”

Su yijiao’s eyes flickered, and she avoided his eyes, only saying, ” “No, nothing.”

“Yijiao, if Ziwen is always like this, then let him go.” She was his younger sister and he did not want to see her get hurt for her Empress, even if the person was ye Ziwen!

Su yijiao was silent for a while. In the end, she nodded, only leaving a ” I got it ” behind, and then left.

Qin Yun stayed in the hospital for a while longer, but knowing that su Yicheng wasn’t going to work today, she was not afraid that Anran wouldn’t be taken care of. Then, she got up and returned to the military compound. However, before she left, she repeatedly reminded su Yicheng to heat up the chicken soup for Anran, saying that pregnant women should take good care of themselves when they see red.

After the two of them left, su Yicheng and Anran were the only ones left in the ward.

He closed the door and sat down by her bed. He put his arm around her shoulders and let her rest her head on his body.

Anran laid on his head with a peace of mind, her small hand playing with his large palm. The joints of his index and middle fingers had some calluses from holding a pen for years, and they protruded slightly when she touched them. With a smile on her face, she said softly, ” mom, yijiao, and everyone else are so good to me. &Quot;

“Silly girl, we’re family. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well?” Su Yicheng said softly.

Anran turned her head and looked at him. She said in a good mood, ” “It’s great to marry you. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.” Not only did he dote on her, but his family also treated her so well. She was really glad that she was so lucky.

Su Yicheng also laughed and leaned over to kiss her on the lips. &Quot; only you would be so bold as to propose marriage to a stranger. &Quot;

Anran stuck out her tongue at him slyly and said, ” &Quot; only you would agree to my proposal without even thinking about it. &Quot;

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows. &Quot; so, ” he said, ” you’re saying that we’re made for each other? ”

Anran thought for a moment and nodded seriously. &Quot; yes, it looks like that. &Quot; They actually got along so well. They were definitely a destined couple.

The two of them laughed and leaned back into his arms. An ran was still holding his big hand and playing with his fingers. Su Yicheng was also enjoying this moment. He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of her hair, a happy and satisfied smile on his lips.

The two of them sat in each other’s arms for a while, then su Yicheng gently whispered in her ear, ” “Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?” She raised her hand to look at the time. It was already past 10 O ‘clock. She had woken up very early in the morning. After such a long time, she should be sleepy.

Leaning in her arms, Anran shook her head. After a while, she said, ” “I’m sorry,” she said. His voice was low and he didn’t sound as happy as before. He seemed to be in low spirits.

“What’s wrong?” su Yicheng asked with a frown.

After a long silence, an ran said, ” &Quot; I didn’t know that the necklace was so expensive. I didn’t think much about it when Zhou han transferred it to me. &Quot; However, she didn’t expect that because of her negligence, he almost had to bear the crime of corruption and bribery. Although she explained it clearly in the end, she still felt sorry in her heart. If it wasn’t for Zhou han this time, she probably wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly even if she had ten mouths.

“Silly girl, it’s not your fault.” Su Yicheng tightened his grip on her and said, ” &Quot; there are some people who want to cause trouble in the dark. Even if you don’t have that necklace, there will be other things. It’s inevitable. &Quot; She suddenly thought of something and asked, ” what did you say to uncle Yan? ” If he were to tell the truth, he probably wouldn’t be able to explain it.

Anran shook her head, turned around, and said to him, ” “Actually, it was Zhou han who told me to say that.”

“Zhou han?” Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows, but then he thought of something and nodded. &Quot; that’s true, he’s the other party involved. &Quot;

&Quot; before team leader Yan and the others came in, I received a text message from him. He said that if he wanted you to be fine, I should do as he said. He wanted me to say that I was the one who gave the necklace to Lin Li on his behalf, because he would say the same thing when the time came. That way, the confession would match. &Quot; Actually, when she received Zhou Han’s text message, she didn’t know if she should listen to him, but at that time, she didn’t seem to have any other choice.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng was silent for a while before he faintly replied, ” “Is that so?”

Anran nodded, turned around, and leaned against him. She seemed to be a little emotional as she said, ” “I seem to have a lot more to learn to be your wife.”

Su Yicheng hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder, asking, ” “Do you feel tired being my wife?”

“I won’t,” Anran shook her head without thinking and said, ” &Quot; I won’t feel tired because you’ve doted on me much more than this. I just don’t want to be a burden to you in the future. &Quot; She didn’t want to cause him any unnecessary trouble. If she could avoid some things, then she would be sharing his burden.

Su Yicheng kissed her cheek and said gently, ” “No, you’re doing very well,”

An ran tilted her head slightly and shared a sweet kiss with him.

While the two of them were hugging each other sweetly, Anran’s phone on the bedside table rang at this time. It flashed with a faint pink light and screamed wildly.

Su Yicheng reluctantly let go of her and touched her face. After the two of them had soothed their basic breathing, he turned around and took the phone.

It was a call from Lin xiaofen. Anran didn’t tell Lin xiaofen that she had almost suffered a miscarriage and was hospitalized because she was afraid that Lin xiaofen would worry.

She pressed the answer button and was about to call her when she heard Lin xiaofen angrily say into the phone, ” &Quot; Gu Anran, I told you not to come into contact with Tong Wenhai. Why didn’t you listen? ”
