Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 245



245 Fate between husband and wife

In the coffee shop opposite the mall, Lin Li and Anran sat by the window. Lin Li ordered coffee, and Anran asked for hot milk.

It was a rare weekend. Xiao bin had been sent to the courtyard after school last night. He hadn’t seen his grandson for a whole week and mother Zhou missed him very much. Although the little guy didn’t really want to go, he didn’t reject it.

So when Anran said that she wanted to ask her out for a walk this morning, she came over without any worries.

The two of them shopped at the mall for most of the day. Because of her pregnancy, Anran was particularly tired. Her feet were sore, and her waist hurt a little.

Therefore, the two of them found a place to sit down and chat. After they got married, there were not many opportunities for them to sit down and have a good chat.

In fact, the main purpose of their visit today was to buy some children’s things, such as small clothes and small toys. Although the mothers of both families were very enthusiastic about preparing this and that, they were still their own children, after all, so Anran wanted to pick out the things she wanted to see.

While accompanying Anran, Lin Li also looked at two sets of clothes for the little guy. Imagining the little guy wearing clothes, she couldn’t help but smile.

Anran held the milk and gently stirred it with a spoon. When she saw Lin Li’s inexplicable smile, she couldn’t help but ask, ” “What’s on your mind? it’s so funny.”

Lin Li came back to her senses and shook her head, only saying, ” “It’s nothing,” As she spoke, she took the sugar and was about to pour it into the coffee in front of her.

“Eh.” Anran stopped her, looked at her, and said with a half-smile, ” “You’ve added sugar!”

Lin Li was stunned. She couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. She reached out and scratched her hair. really? ” As he spoke, he picked up his coffee and took a sip.

An ran stared at her without saying a word, a faint smile on her lips.

Lin Li felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. She shifted her butt awkwardly and said in a bad mood, ” “What are you doing? just say what you want to say. Don’t keep staring at me. It’s so awkward. It makes me look like I haven’t washed my face.”

Anran smiled and leaned forward a little. She deliberately lowered her voice and asked in a flirtatious tone, ” “How’s it going with you and Zhou han?”

Lin Li was a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and stirred the cup of coffee, deliberately avoiding her gaze and only saying, ” “No, nothing much.”

Seeing this, Anran smiled, and the thought in her heart seemed to become more certain. She lowered her head and sniffed the milk in the glass, then looked at Lin Li and said, ” “I smell something.”

Lin Li didn’t think much of it and thought that she was talking about the milk. Worried that there was something wrong with the milk, she asked nervously, ” “What’s that smell? The milk has expired?” She didn’t dare to be careless. After all, the person sitting opposite her was a pregnant woman, and a pregnant one at that! There can’t be any mistakes.

Seeing her nervous look, Lin Li smiled. The smile at the corner of her mouth was particularly sweet as she said with a smile, ” I’m not talking about milk. What I smell is the smell of adultery. Do you smell it? ”

Only then did Lin Li realize that she had been fooled. She rolled her eyes at her and said, ” “What nonsense are you talking about? do you think I’m like you and your leader su?”

“It’s not impossible,” Anran shrugged and said. She only hoped that her good friend would be happy. If Lin Li was really as lucky as she was to meet such a good man, she would naturally be happy for her. In fact, after a few interactions with Zhou han, the feeling that Zhou han gave her was actually quite good. If Lin Li could turn the act into reality with him, she would be happy to see it happen.

Lin Li didn’t say anything. She lowered her head and stirred the coffee in her cup. Right now, she just didn’t dare to make a bet.

Lin Li, tell me the truth. Is there really no way for you and Zhou han to develop? ” She knew that Chengxiang’s incident had hurt her deeply, but she couldn’t risk her entire life’s happiness because of her past injuries!

Lin Li was a little helpless. She didn’t know how to answer, so she could only say, ” an Zi, I don’t want to talk about this. Give me more time. If I have a decision, I will definitely tell you.

Anran looked at her, and since she said so, she didn’t say anything more and could only nod.

Lin Li smiled at her and changed the topic. She looked at his stomach and asked, ” “Have my godsons been good recently? have they been practicing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in your stomach?” he asked.

sometimes, she would kick me. But it’s okay, she didn’t kick me too much. Yicheng said it was a girl because girls are more gentle. Speaking of children, Anran smiled in satisfaction. She looked down at her big belly. She was already seven months pregnant. It wouldn’t be long before her babies met her. She felt happy just thinking about it.

Lin Li didn’t think much of it. tsk, it must be a boy.

Anran laughed. She was already used to how stubborn these two people were about the gender of their child. Thinking of Zhou Han’s little guy, she couldn’t help but ask, ” “By the way, how are you getting along with that little fellow from Zhou Han’s family?”

“It’s pretty good, but it’s a little clingy.” Thinking of how he had looked at her with a sad expression before he got off the car when she sent the little guy to the courtyard last night, Lin Li couldn’t help but smile.

Looking at her expression, Lin Li also knew that they should be getting along well. She also knew that in this relationship, Lin Li’s love for Xiao bin must be mixed with the love for the child who didn’t stay.

Anran was just about to say something when Lin Li’s phone rang.

Lin Li took the phone and looked at it. After hesitating for a while, she finally swiped the phone with her hand and picked up the call. Hello, Auntie.

It was Chengxiang’s mother. Ever since chengxu’s operation, she had not gone to the hospital again. However, Cheng Xiang’s mother had called her a few times, hoping that she could go to the hospital to see Chengxiang. In fact, although Cheng Xiang’s mother’s words at the hospital that day were tactful, she understood it very clearly. She hoped that she could go back and start over with Chengxiang, but she knew very well that this was impossible. Not to mention that Zhou han was now with her, and she was legally Zhou Han’s wife. Her feelings for Chengxiang had been completely exhausted in the past 10 years. There wasn’t a single bit left or held back, so it was impossible for her to turn back and start over with Chengxiang.

That was why she didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble. She just wanted to know that his surgery was a success.

“Lin Li, where are you? It’s the weekend, you don’t have to work, right?” On the other end of the phone, Cheng Zheng’s mother was very kind.

Lin Li’s lips twitched. yeah, ” she said, ” I’m not working. I’m out with my friends.

Lin Li, if there’s nothing else, come to the hospital. Chengxiang has been unable to accept the fact that he’s lost a leg ever since he woke up from the operation. He’s not cooperating with the treatment at all and has given up on himself. Cheng Zheng’s mother said helplessly on the other end of the phone.

Auntie, ” Lin Li refused. I still have something to do. I might not be able to go over.

Lin Li, you should take some time to come and take a look. Even if it’s just half an hour or a few minutes, Chengxiang will listen to you. As long as you tell him to cooperate with the reconstruction, he will listen to you. On the other end of the phone, mother Cheng refused to give up and said, ” Lin Li, even if you don’t give me face, you should also give consideration to your many years of relationship with Chengxiang. Auntie wouldn’t ask you to do this unless it was absolutely necessary!

Lin Li was silent and didn’t speak for a long time. Her eyes were fixed on the coffee on the table.

After not hearing a reply for a long time, Cheng Zheng’s mother became a little uncertain. She asked tentatively, ” Lin Li, are you still there? ”

Lin Li subconsciously nodded. After she came to her senses, she said, ” “Aunty, Chengxiang can only pull himself together. No one else can help him.”

“You can do it. Lin Li, only you can do it!”

Lin Li was a little helpless. I still have things to do. Let’s leave it at that.

Hearing that she was about to hang up, Mrs. Cheng quickly said, ” “Lin Li, are you really going to watch Chengxiang continue to be so dispirited?”

Lin Li didn’t say anything. She was silent for a while before hanging up the phone. He should be responsible for his own life. No one else could vouch for him.

Putting her phone aside, she looked up and realized that Anran was staring at her with a serious look in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Li couldn’t help but ask.

“You still can’t let go of Chengxiang?” Anran asked, frowning.

“I didn’t.” Lin Li glanced away and took a sip of her coffee.

Moving the milk in front of her to the side, Anran reached out to grab Lin Li’s hand and asked, ” Lin Li, tell me. Is it because of Chengxiang that you can’t accept Zhou han? ”

“No, I really didn’t.” She was sure that she had completely let go of Chengxiang, but there was still a little bit of hatred that she couldn’t let go of because she couldn’t let go of the child.

“Then why did you still go to see him?”

Lin Li looked at her and sighed. “Cheng Xiang had bone cancer before and refused to accept any information, so Cheng Xiang’s mom asked me to go.”

B-Bone cancer?! Anran couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She knew that Chengxiang was sick, but she didn’t know that it was cancer. Just thinking about it made her feel scared.

Lin Li nodded. his life was saved, but one of his legs was taken after the operation.

An ran was silent. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little heavy. Not wanting the atmosphere of the two meeting to be ruined because of this, Lin Li changed the topic and said, ” by the way, didn’t your su Yicheng say he wanted to pick you up? why isn’t he here yet? ” When she was shopping at the mall, she received a call from su Yicheng. He said that he was worried about Anran going home alone with her big belly, so he would come over to pick her up later.

Anran also came back to her senses. She only forced a smile and said, ” “Yeah, why haven’t we arrived yet?” As he spoke, he turned to look at the door.

Lin Li also looked out of the window and happened to see a certain someone getting out of the car. She whispered, ” “Don’t look for him anymore, he’s already here.”

Upon hearing this, Anran turned her head and saw su Yicheng outside the window, so she reached out and waved at him. Su Yicheng nodded and pointed to the door, indicating that he would wait for him to come in.

After su Yicheng came in, Lin Li couldn’t help but tease him, ” the big leader is so busy every day, but he still took the time to pick up his wife. He’s indeed a good man in the new era.

Su Yicheng smiled gently. I’m afraid that if I don’t do a good job, someone will not let me off.

Lin Li also laughed. These were the harsh words she had said in front of him back then.

Su Yicheng turned his head and looked at Anran gently, asking, ” “Can we go now? mom said it’ll be open when we get back.” It was the weekend, a fixed day in the courtyard.

She stuck out her tongue at him playfully and said, ” “I’ll go to the bathroom first.”

Looking at her big belly, su Yicheng was a little worried, so he said, ” “I’ll go with you.”

“It’s fine, you can’t go into the ladies” room.” Anran got up and pulled him to her seat. sit down and chat with Lin Li. I’ll be back soon.

Lin Li watched Anran’s figure disappear around the corner, then turned her head and smiled at su Yicheng. She said, ” It’s an ran’s good fortune to meet you.

Su Yicheng also smiled, looking as gentle and elegant as ever. it’s my blessing to meet her. His voice was neither loud nor soft.

Lin Li nodded and agreed with him, but she also said with some emotion, ” “Perhaps this is fate, fate between husband and wife.” Back then, an ran still couldn’t let go of mo Fei after six years. However, a mishap in marriage led to a blind date, and she met her true love in a flash marriage. Perhaps this was what everyone called fate.

Su Yicheng looked at her with a slight smile on his lips and asked, ” “If Anran and I are, what about you and Zhou han?”

Lin Li was stunned. She looked up at him, not quite understanding the meaning of his words.

Anran and I are fated to be husband and wife. Don’t you and Zhou han have the same fate? ” Su Yicheng explained, ” back then, you and Chengxiang had a relationship for ten years. You even had a child, but you didn’t get married in the end. If it’s fate for two people to get married and live together, then isn’t it the same for you and Zhou han? ”

Lin Li looked at him for a while and didn’t say anything. She only covered it up by taking the slightly cold coffee on the table and taking a sip. The bitterness of the cold coffee seemed to be more obvious.

Seeing that she didn’t answer, su Yicheng, who was sitting opposite her, said, ” “Zhou han came to find me a few days ago.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li raised her eyes and looked at him. She wanted to ask why, but the words couldn’t come out of her mouth.

As if he could read her mind, su Yicheng took the initiative to explain, ” actually, it’s nothing much. He just wanted to have a drink with me and then we talked.

“What did he say?” Almost subconsciously, Lin Li only reacted after she finished speaking.

Su Yicheng looked at her with a devilish smile on his face. do you want to know? ”

Just as Lin Li was about to speak, Anran came back from behind. She looked at them and asked, ” “What are you talking about?”

Su Yicheng stood up and looked at Lin Li without saying anything.

Anran felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different from before she left. She looked at su Yicheng, then at Lin Li. what’s wrong? did you say something that you can’t tell me? ”

Lin Li stood up and shook her head at her, saying, ” Nothing. Since su Yicheng is here to pick you up, I’ll go back first. He turned around and walked towards the door.

hey, Lin Li … Anran wanted to stop her and ask her what was going on, but she was pulled back by su Yicheng.

“Let her go. There are some things that she needs to think about herself.”

An ran frowned slightly and asked, ” “What were you talking about just now?”

Su Yicheng smiled and reached out to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows. “I’ll tell you when we get home.”
