First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 26 Translation

026. To meet again


Mo Fei walks over to her. Seeing that these past 6 years, the face that has been appearing in his dreams every night for 2000 days, his mood isn’t as calm as he imagined it to be. He has an urge to run over to her, to embrace her tightly. But he doesn’t dare. Because he can’t.

An Ran slowly regains her spirit. She speaks but doesn’t look at him. At this moment, she was expecting for Su Yi Cheng to come any minute now, but she didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Su Yi Cheng was late.

“An Ran.” Mo Fei stands facing An Ran, calling out her name, the name that he’s been worrying about these past six years. He's facing her once again, and he regrets the decision that he'd made before. Maybe, at that time, he should have stayed.

“What a coincidence.” An Ran tried to be as natural as possible, but the hands that are tightly balled up exposed her nervousness.

Mo Fei looks at her, and determinedly says, “No, I came to look for you.”

“Look for me?” An Ran only feels like laughing. “Why are you looking for me?” Between the two of them, what is there to talk about?

“An Ran, I—“ Mo Fei was about to speak, but Xiao Xiao interrupted him as she approaches An Ran from behind. “An Ran!”

An Ran turns her head, to see Xiao Xiao treading over with her 7 cm high heeled shoes, her head giving a big wave to tell her to come over here. She checks out the Mo Fei standing with her, walks over to An Ran’s side, smiles and asks, “An Ran, is this handsome guy your friend?”

“He’s just a classmate.” An Ran replies, not showing any emotion.

“Hi. I’m An Ran’s co-worker, Xiao Xiao.” Xiao Xiao eagerly extends her hands to Mo Fei.

Mo Fei doesn’t give Xiao Xiao a glance. He just fixes his stare at An Ran, that expression. Because her words kind of hurt.

An Ran avoids his eyes and avoids facing him. She raises her arm to look her watch, and looks around. Her hands grip on her cellphone. She’s considering whether or not she should give Su Yi Cheng a call. If he couldn’t catch up with whatever work he had, then she could just take her car home.

Mo Fei’s coldness and disregarding the extended hand beside him made Xiao Xiao hang on to one expression. In any case, she’s a beauty. Whenever she goes out she worms her way into being friends with the guy she wants. She’s never received this kind of treatment! This made her beyond pissed.

Even though her heart is raging with resentment, because of how she was raised, from an early age, the Xiao Xiao who was in touch with society, had mastered the act of separating what a person thinks from their actions. As such, she concealed her mood. So even though she was deeply resenting Mo Fei, her expression, from the beginning, held on to a smile. She then delicately laughs and reminds him, “A gentleman wouldn’t possibly let a woman extend her hand for this long and not shake it.”

Only then does Mo Fei's attention return back to earth, his face lacking of a smile, and simply extends his hand and shakes it with her’s, his eyes not once leaving An Ran’s.

Xiao Xiao awkwardly stares, her eyes slowly becoming cold. She slowly retracts her hands.

An Ran is aware of Mo Fei staring at her, the feeling of being stared at made her feel uncomfortable. She looks at her watch. It’s already 5:42 pm, and Su Yi Cheng still isn’t here. She sucks in a breath, and turns towards the parking lot, not waiting anymore.

At the same time when An Ran turned, a black Volkswagen slowly came into a stop in front of Mo Fei’s black Benz. The driver’s door opens, and a graceful man comes out. Seeing that An Ran was turned around and was about to leave, he raises his voice and shouts, “An Ran!”

An Ran turns around, to see Su Yi Cheng raising his hand, standing by the car door and smiling at her. Seeing her turn her head, he closes the door and planned to walk over to her.

An Ran sees that he was about to come over, she quickly gets her bag and runs down the stairs, jogging towards him. Because she was walking too quickly, inexplicably, she doesn’t want Su Yi Cheng and Mo Fei to meet. If you were to ask her why, she herself can’t come up with a reason. In any case, she just doesn’t want to, really doesn’t want to!

Mo Fei watches An Ran run towards that man, the two arms hanging down, balls up on its own accord. When he came back he knew that she was still unmarried. Honestly speaking, he was secretly delighted hearing this. He thought that since she was still unmarried at this age, that was because she didn’t forget about him. In her heart, she was like him, still having the same feeling as that year, unable to let go.

However, at this moment, he is watching her run towards another man, and that man also seems remarkable. Regarding what he’d guessed before, he suddenly doesn’t have the confidence anymore.

An Ran rushed over to him. Actually she wanted to quickly escape from Mo Fei’s gaze. Even though she said that she’d let go, but in such a short time she still couldn’t face him like an ordinary person. Because she was walking too quickly, and she wasn’t watching her feet, when she dashed forward, her ankle rolled. In an instant, An Ran’s body almost hit the ground. Fortunately Su Yi Cheng had sharp eyes, he took large strides and was able to support An Ran, half embracing her and holding her against his chest.

“You alright?” Su Yi Cheng asks concerned.

An Ran shakes her head, and withdraws from his embrace. She looks at her feet. It wasn’t sprained, but she was still somewhat scared.

“Next time don’t be so urgent. Take your time. If not, perhaps you should stay where you are and wait for me. I’ll come to you.” Su Yi Cheng looks at her, in his head he thinks how could this girl be 28 years old. She completely isn’t matured or steady.

Hearing this, An Ran stares at him blankly, and finally nods.

Su Yi Cheng nods, and raises his head to see Mo Fei and Xiao Xiao standing by the front doors. He asks An Ran, “Your colleagues? Should I come over to greet them?”

An Ran doesn’t turn to look, just shakes her head, and quickly says, “No it’s fine.” Her tone was also urgent, the rejection was clean and firm.

Su Yi Cheng looks at her, the expression in her eyes was a bit strange.

Aware of her own mood, An Ran unconsciously plays with her hair, and explains, “Uh, just now, just now mom called in a rush. She asked when we would be there, we, we should just go ahead and go.”

“Oh. Okay.” Su Yi Cheng complies. He then raises his head to look at Mo Fei and Xiao Xiao, and gives them a smile as he nods. Then he turns to An Ran and extends his hands.

An Ran stares at it blankly. Finally, a little embarrassed, she puts her hand into his.

Pleased, the corners of Su Yi Cheng’s mouth bends up. He holds her hands and says, “Let’s go.”

The two hands hanging down Mo Fei’s sides ball up tightly, his fingernails are digging in yet he doesn’t feel any pain. He gives a death glare to the man pulling on An Ran’s hand, and watches him be considerate and open the car door for An Ran as she gets in. The door closes, he walks around the head of the car to the other side, and starts the car. Finally, what’s left over is the chaotic dancing of the wind.

Xiao Xiao watches An Ran and co.’s car disappear into the traffic of after-work. She turns her head and examines the exceptionally outstanding man beside her. The corner of her mouth lifts a bit. She asks, “You aren’t just old classmates, huh.” Seeing his expression, she can tell that they were more than that, and he was probably her ex-boyfriend. However, how could this Gu An Ran get this flashy. Undoubtedly there was an accident from her blueprint, and these past two days she came to work to be dropped off in a grand car. When she knocks off work she even has such handsome men come pick her up. What a lucky bitch.



Mo Fei looks at her, not commenting. He turns towards the parked black Benz and walks over to it.

Xiao Xiao sees that he is about to leave, and he is walking quickly. When he is about to open the door, from his side she makes her way in, stopping him from entering the door. She puts on her charm and winks at him, and says, “I’m heading to Xin Hua road, can you give me a ride?”

Mo Fei looks at her coldly. He’s worked hard for so many years, he’s seen all kinds of people. Now, he only needs to shoot a glance, and he can tell what a woman is thinking.

Unemotionally, Mo Fei says, “Not going that way.” He pulls on the door that she had opened and got on, then starts the car and leaves.

Xiao Xiao stands on the curb, her face swelling red. She mutters under her breath, “Hmph, what the hell.”
