First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 12 Translation

012. This man is a son-in-law 1

Naturally, Su Yi Cheng also sees him. He had been wearing a smile the entire time. Kindly and elegantly, he calls out, “Chief Tong Ju, what a coincidence.”

“Su… Special assistant Su!” Chief Tong Ju looks at him with surprise.

“Chief Tong Ju has also come here with your family for dinner.” Su Yi Cheng says, and looks around the private room’s surroundings. He smiles and says, “This room is indeed good. It’s no wonder Chief Tong Ju has also settled on this room.” He turns to face Manager Zhang who stood at the side, “You should speak with your boss, have her change the layout and make more of these private rooms with similar environment. Perhaps you will get more business this way.”

“Uh.” Manager Zhang, dazed, promptly nods his head, “Yes, yes yes. I will definitely mention it to my boss.”

“It’s alright, it’s better if I tell her.” Su Yi Cheng says straightforwardly.

“Eh? Sir, you know our Restaurant Head Su?” This was unexpected for Manager Zhang.

“Yes, very well.” Su Yi Cheng laughs and nods. Actually, 'You Ran Restaurant' is his little sister, Su Yi Jiao’s, restaurant. That girl normally loves to drink and eat. This field is also especially tastefully chosen. At the time it was impossible for her to keep up with the work the family had arranged for her. After 3 months she noisily resigned, saying that she likes to be free and dislikes being restricted, so she simply asked their grandfather to invest some capital and immediately started up this You Ran Restaurant. He never thought that business would be this good.

Tong Wen Hai looks and smiles at Su Yi Cheng and says, “I am humbled by Special Assistant Su. I have pampered my little girl recklessly, making her spoiled. This room was originally reserved for Ms. Gu, of course we have no grounds to take it by force.” He turns to Manager Zhang and says, “Manager Zhang, we’ll just take that room from before, no need to change. Also, bill this room’s dining expenses to my account.”

“Ai, okay, I will arrange that.” Manager Zhang quickly nods his head, and commands the instructions.

“No need. Chief Tong Ju’s family also likes this room, don’t be dampened. We will change rooms.” Su Yi Cheng says, and turns to look at An Ran, laughing to appease the situation.

“In any case it is first come first served, we understand this argument. We were not aware and assumed that this room was available. Xiao Min has been spoiled by us, don’t take offense Special Assistant Su.” Madame Tong, who was sitting on the host’s chair, stands and speaks up. Her eyes smile; just one look and one can tell that she is a sophisticated woman.

“Indeed.” Tong Wen Hai agrees. He looks at An Ran beside him, and asks, “Special Assistant Su and Ms. Gu are…?”

Su Yi Cheng turns his head, stretches out to hold An Ran’s hand, and says, “My wife, Gu An Ran.”

“Eh? Special Assistant Su got married?” Tong Wen Hai is taken aback, he did not hear that the esteemed Su family had a wedding recently... Even more, he did not receive any wedding invitations.

“Yes, just married.” Su Yi Cheng laughs politely, raises his arm to look at the time and says, “Chief Tong Ju, please take the seat. We will change rooms.”

“No, no need. How could I have Special Assistant Su yield to my request.” Tong Wen Hai pleads. How can he dare let him [Su Yi Cheng] yield to him. Not only is his [Su Yi Cheng’s] position higher, but to the Su family’s power, he also needs to save face.

“It’s really no problem.” Su Yi Cheng smiles, turns to Manager Zhang and says, “Manager Zhang, why don’t you go ahead and bring my wife to the Flower Pavilion.”

“Uh. The Flower Pavilion is our Director Su’s…” It was a room that is specially reserved for her family, no exceptions.

Su Yi Cheng doesn’t wait for him to finish, he interrupts, “I will talk to your Director Su.” He looks at An Ran and smiles, “You can go ahead with Manager Zhang. Give mom and dad a call and see if they have arrived yet.”

“But…” An Ran was still thinking of what to say, but Su Yi Cheng wraps his arms around her and pushes her out, whispering to her, “Listen, the Flower Pavilion’s ambience is pretty great, mom would like it.”

An Ran looks into his eyes, finally nodding her head, and allows the waiter to bring her to the Flower Pavilion.

The Flower Pavilion is situated beside You Ran Restaurant’s garden. The interior of the room was not extraordinarily large, but the decoration was extremely warm. The front door has a large French window made of glass. From inside the room, there was no need to go outside, as one could directly see the scene from the window. The side of the French window has a small door, also made with transparent glass. Opening the door was a bypath made of a bed of pebbles, the vines harnessed on top. The environment was planted with all kinds of beautiful flowers, the air was completely diffused with the scent of flowers. The sweet scent assailed the nostrils. The small lantern brightly shines in the garden at this moment. Rummaging through this scenery is even more of a special smell.  

An Ran liked the room immediately upon stepping into it. Comparing it to the other room is simply as different as sky and earth, she can’t explain how much better it is.

When An Ran gave her mother a call, Lin Xiao Fen was already at the gate. An Ran goes out to receive them. When they entered the room, Lin Xiao Fen also fell in love with the room at first sight, saying that even when closing one’s eyes one can still smell the fragrance of the flowers.

When Su Yi Cheng had arrived, An Ran was accompanying Lin Xiao Fen and Gu Heng Wen in showing around the garden. The three were laughing and talking, the scene was especially warm and beautiful. Su Yi Cheng stands at the door, watching them for a while. He calls out from the door, “An Ran.”

It was at this moment that the three take notice of the Su Yi Cheng standing at the door. An Ran, was surprised, and her small face suddenly crinkles up, clearly annoyed at how she could have forgotten about him. What’s even more annoying is that in a moment she will have to introduce his status to her parents. 

Compared to An Ran at the moment, the Gu parents were more curious about the status of this man, curious about the relationship between An Ran and him.

“An Ran, he is..?” Gu Heng Wen speaks first, looking at his daughter and looking at the man in front of him.

“He is…” An Ran is still at a loss on how to introduce this entire thing without giving her parents a scare.

“An Ran, let’s have mom and dad come in first. The dishes have already arrived.” Su Yi Cheng smiles. The way he said mom and dad was so natural, as if he had said it a thousand times before, it was not awkward, sudden or abrupt at all.

Although he was not sudden or abrupt or awkward, those few words still gave Gu Heng Wen and Lin Xiao Fen a shock. They look at him speechlessly.

An Ran sees that the atmosphere was somewhat wrong, gives Su Yi Cheng a cold glare, and says to her parents, “Dad, mom, let’s go in first.”

Gu Heng Wen is, after all, an intellectual. He takes a look at his daughter, not saying a word, and directly goes into the room.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao Fen follows.
