First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 40 Translation

040. Preparing to meet the in-laws



When it was noon and time for lunch An Ran practically ran towards the company cafeteria, randomly choosing any food and seats herself as she takes a big bite.

When she ate out with Lin Li last evening she only got to have a few bites, and the entire evening was spent being wrapped around by Su Yi Cheng. Plus this morning’s ‘morning exercise’ made An Ran sleep in; don’t even talk about skipping breakfast, she didn’t even think about it. Right now she was so famished she was dizzy. Just a moment ago in her office she had wanted to finish the final draft of the blueprint, but who would have thought that she was so hungry she felt like dying. There was no space in her mind for designing.

When people are hungry they really do find anything to be delicious. Before she had felt that the cafeteria’s food was tasteless, unpalatable and hard to swallow. Today An Ran was tardy but the food was especially appetizing, unusually delicious.

At this time, Su Yi Cheng’s call came in. An Ran was using all her attention to eat, so she didn’t even look at her phone as she picks up the call, “Hello, who is it?”

“How come you’re not home? I just called home but no one answered.” On the other side, Su Yi Cheng chuckles as he asks.

“Uh,” An Ran dazes out. She takes a look at the screen to see that the name is indeed his. Recalling last night and this morning, An Ran’s face unconsciously turns extremely red, when she spoke she also started to stutter, “I I I, I have to work today, and, and it’s not a weekend.”

“I left a note for you, you didn’t see it?” Su Yi Cheng asks.

“Note?” An Ran was puzzled, unsure what note he was speaking about? And where this note was?

On the other line Su Yi Cheng sighs, gathering that she hadn’t seen the brief note on the kitchen counter at all, and asks, “You didn’t eat breakfast this morning?”

Using her chopsticks to pick rice from her dish, An Ran mutters, “I, I woke up at 10, where would I have the time to eat breakfast.” Her complexion was slightly red, and her tone had a hint of complaint.

“Haha.” Su Yi Cheng laughs heartily on the other line, he seems to be in a pretty good mood.

An Ran felt humiliated from that laugh. Simply wanting to end the call, she awkwardly says, “You, you need something? If if there’s nothing then I’m going back to eat.”

Su Yi Cheng laughs, remembering last night and this morning. Indeed his own needs demanded too much, he hadn’t even considered that it was her first time. So thinking about it, he felt guilty, and honestly apologizes, “I’m sorry, it was my fault. I’ll be more careful next time, and won’t strain you like that.”

“I, I want to eat.” An Ran doesn’t want to be ashamed and distressed anymore, so she said that so she could hang up.

“Hehe, wait, wait.” Su Yi Cheng calls out before she hangs up, and says, “Wait for me at the entrance when you knock off. Tonight we’re going to the compound, my parents and grandfather want to meet you.”

“I, I can get there myself. I brought my car today.” An Ran declines. Going through last night and this morning, she doesn’t know how to face him anymore, just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed.

“You know where it is?” Su Yi Cheng laughs.

“Uh.” An Ran freezes, and only now recalls that Su Yi Cheng doesn’t even live with his parents at all, so she has no idea where his family residence is!

“Be obedient, wait for me at the entrance when you’re done. I still have some work here, so I’m going to hang up first.” He doesn’t even wait for An Ran to reply, as he apparently turns and says something to someone to his side, immediately hanging up.




“Special assistant Su, this document needs your signature.” Secretary Zheng hands the document over to him.

Su Yi Cheng puts his cellphone back into his pocket, takes the document from Secretary Zheng and examines it. It pertained to the proposed construction of the city hall building. Last week the municipal committee had passed the proposal, and this project was to be managed by him for now.

“Special assistant Su was talking with your wife just now.” Secretary Zheng asks as if he was psychic.

When Su Yi Cheng had told him that he was getting married he really was shocked; it was quite sudden. He was at Su Yi Cheng’s side for almost two years now, even so much that he hasn’t seen him court any woman. Even on normal days calls for appointments were few. That day he had suddenly told him that he was getting married, it truly did shock him. He had seen that woman once although she was not extraordinarily pretty, but she was abundantly delicate and graceful, quite classy.

Su Yi Cheng looks at him, nods, and confirms, “Mm.”

“In that case, when will Special assistant celebrate the wedding? I will notify everyone in advance to prepare hong bao (red pocket money) according to their group.” Secretary Zheng smiles as he speaks.

Su Yi Cheng grabs a pen and in bold, cursive writing, signs his given name, then he hands it back to Secretary Zheng, saying simply, “We aren’t planning on doing a wedding for the time being.”

“Oh.” Secretary Zheng looks at him baffled. According to his family’s name and status, is it alright to not do a wedding?

Su Yi Cheng picks up a document from the desk and looks at it, asking, “What time is the municipal committee meeting this afternoon?”

“Two thirty.”

Su Yi Cheng nods. This meeting, he reckons, will be about the science and technology city’s opening and construction. He looks at his watch. Su Yi Cheng stands up. Just a moment ago Mayor Wei had given him a call, and said that he will allow him a break, which he reckons has to do something about the meeting this afternoon.



Since it’ll be her first time to visit the Su household this evening and meet the family, An Ran was inevitably tense. When she went to the washroom after eating she saw the scarf around her neck, slightly dazed by it. Then she remembered that she had originally bought it to gift it to Su Yi Jiao. Thinking of that, she rushes to use her lunch period to go on a break and go shopping. At noon Lin Li gives her a call, asking for an old uni classmate’s number, saying that she came upon the former class leader on QQ. She said that it has been so long since they’ve graduated yet they haven’t done a class reunion, and that this year she was thinking of doing one.

If only Lin Li hadn’t called life would be better. This call made An Ran think of last night’s interesting pyjamas, and she still has the desire to kill.

“Lin Li, you bitch, gave me so much trouble. When have I offended you, I provided you good food and drinks, and also drove you home, you bitch how could you pay me back this way?” An Ran gnashes her teeth into the phone.

At first Lin Li was startled, asking innocently, “I’m just asking for a favour, how did I make trouble for you?”

An Ran squeezes her phone, staring at the people passing by in the mall. She lowers her voice and says, “So what were the things you gave me last night, tell me.”

On the other side Lin Li was frozen, then excitedly asks, “You wore it last night? How was it, did your Mr. Su turn into a werewolf?”

“You, you lower your voice,” Lin Li simply had a lion’s roar, almost damaged An Ran’s eardrum. She also feared that someone would hear, so she flees towards the mall’s washroom area. “I seriously want to slaughter you, you have no idea how awkward it was for me last night. I had no idea that you bought that kind of thing. My pyjamas fell into the water, so I actually asked him to hand it to me, you have no idea how much I wanted to die there. What happened after is pretty obvious.”

“Haha, An Zi you have to thank me. I thought that your marriage relations had already took a big leap into the incomparable, immense enjoyment!” Lin Li says proudly.

“F off, don’t wanna talk to you. I have to go buy gifts, next time I meet you see how I’ll deal with you.” An Ran says angrily.

“Uh, didn’t you already buy something yesterday?” Lin Li had remembered that An Ran had bought two scarves last evening, said that it was for her mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law for when they meet.

An Ran says hatefully, “It’s your fault.”

“Haha, looks like things got wild last night ha!” Lin Li starts to laugh.

“You wait and see, see how I will deal with you.” An Ran blushes intensely, saying a few things, then immediately hangs up. She turns around about to leave, but bumps into the person behind her right at that time.

“Ah, sorry.” An Ran automatically apologizes.

039. Xiao xiao



When An Ran had rushed to reached the company, the weekly meeting was already over. Xiao Xiao was the first to leave the conference room. She was surprised to see An Ran, but quickly smiles and asks, “An Ran, didn’t you take a leave of absence?”

“Uh.” An Ran was surprised, unable to come up with a response. Leave of absence! When did she call in to request a leave of absence?

While An Ran was still dazed Ling Lin, who was carrying a pile of materials also came out of the conference room, and two of the drafting lads came out immediately after her. At that moment she was saying something, but upon seeing An Ran she quickly steps forward and asks in concern, “Gu jie, is your body alright?”

Being asked this, An Ran was even more confused, looking at them like she wasn’t completely here.

Finally, Huang De Xing comes out, sees everyone surrounding An Ran, and starts to say, “Don’t you guys have work to do?”

As soon as everyone had heard this, they all dispersed. An Ran looks at Huang De Xing, looking a little embarrassed. She was about to say something, but he beat her to it.

“An Ran, come to my office.” Huang De Xing looks at her in the eyes, turns around and walks over to his office.

An Ran walks behind him to the director’s office. Huang De Xing places down the materials in his hands onto the desk, and seats himself onto the big black leather swivel chair. He faces An Ran and indicates to her, permitting her to seat herself across from him.

Huang De Xing carries the tea cup placed on the table beside him, slightly purses his lips, and says, “An Ran, was there any emotional troubles recently at work?”

“Uh. No.” An Ran denies. “This morning, this morning I had something come up last minute, so I was late. I’m really sorry, I’ll be more careful next time.” An Ran apologizes for her tardiness, but as to the real cause of it, she was too ashamed to actually explain it.

Huang De Xing nods, “We’ve already investigated the cause of last time’s incident. The outcome will be coming within the next few days. Actually, concerning your blueprint, I believe that it is sound. But before the results of the investigation is out I didn’t want to say anything inconvenient, this point, I hope you can understand.”

An Ran nods, and says, “I understand.” She really does understand that he was in a difficult position. Naturally, regarding the accident she has also always informed people to wait for the results. If it truly was due to a problem with her design, then whatever consequences await her, she will accept them.

“Yes.” Huang De Xing answers, and proceeds to ask, “With regard to the blueprints to the government building, how are the designs going? Are there any problems, you can just ask me. After all, I do see you as my student.”

“Thank you, director,” An Ran expresses her thanks, “Speaking of the blueprints it will be done in a few days.”

“Ok. You’ve always been more optimistic than I, and with respect to designing you have the talent. I hope that this time you won’t let me down too.”

An Ran forces a laugh and nods. She feels that Huang De Xing today has been a bit off the entire time. Before he has never praised people. She has been by his side for 6 plus years, and her design drafts were almost always sent back. Today it was unprecedented for her to be praised, and she really feels that something is amiss.

“Is there anything else, director? If not then I will take my leave.” An Ran inquires. It can be said that these past two days she really has to rush on the government building’s blueprint. Up until now she only has a rough sketch, and she has to work overtime the past few days. 

“Yes.” Huang De Xing nods.

An Ran stands up and walks over to the door. When she was about to open the door to leave Huang De Xing suddenly called out.

“Wait, An Ran.”

An Ran turns around, looking at him puzzled, and asks, “Director, is there anything else?”

Huang De Xing suddenly recalls the phone call from his morning. He remembered that the number that had appeared was definitely of one of the leaders from the municipal committee, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know someone from the municipal committee?”

“Uh.” An Ran was surprised, instinctually shaking her head. “Nope.” An Ran’s small brain had completely forgotten the man that had made her late this morning, and also neglected the fact that she herself was in fact already married, furthermore she married an official of high standing, a Madame of a government official not just in name but also in reality.

Hearing that Huang De Xing mutters apprehensively, “Is that so. Could it be I was mistaken?”

“Huh? Director, did you say something?” He was speaking too low, so An Ran didn’t catch any of it.

“Uh, it’s nothing. You may leave.” Huang De Xing responds, and gives An Ran a smile. Perhaps he really was mistaken.

An Ran doesn’t ask any further, and turns to leave the director’s office.

When An Ran had returned to her own office, Xiao Xiao was leaning against a wall, with a pair of arms across her chest and wearing a smile on her face.

An Ran eyes her. “Problem?” She takes out her key to open her office door.

Xiao Xiao follows her in, closing the door behind her. Provoking her with a big headache-inducing wave, she brushes her hair slyly and seats herself down in front of An Ran’s desk, saying, “Your scarf today isn’t too bad. I remember that you never wear these things, why are you wearing one today?”

An Ran freezes, her face unnaturally slightly flushes red. She puts her bag aside her office desk, avoiding her gaze and reaches out to turn on her computer, evades her subject, and instead asks, “Is there a problem?”

Xiao Xiao also doesn’t press on about the scarf. In the first place that was only to start a conversation, what’s more important is that she is willing to talk. She knows that An Ran is a person who doesn’t like to beat around the bush, and that she is also straightforward. She gets to the point and asks, “I wanna ask you something. The day before yesterday, the one waiting for you at the entrance, who’s the man driving the Benz?”

An Ran pauses her action of handling the files, slightly knits her brows, and looks at her, “Where are you going with this?”

Xiao Xiao smoothes her curled hair, and doesn’t conceal, stating directly, “I’m interested in him. I plan to ask him out.”

Hearing that, An Ran’s brows knits even tighter, and only says, “Too late. He has a wife.”

“So what if he has a wife, it’s common to divorce nowadays.” Xiao Xiao says without thinking.

An Ran looks at her. Even though she’s heard the rumours about her around the office, as far as what others say about her she naturally has heard a lot, but as a colleague, she has also observed her strengths, so she has always felt that those rumours about her was unjust. But right now, she doesn’t know if her initial impressions were right or not.

Seeing her silent, Xiao Xiao smiles and continues to speak, “What’s wrong? Are you also interested in him? But from what I saw that day, his interest in you was actually true.”

An Ran turns, eyes wide, but not looking at her. “I can’t help you on this matter. Why don’t you go find someone else.”

She doesn’t want to talk about it and Xiao Xiao doesn’t get angry. She continues to ask, “An Ran, is he your ex-boyfriend? It can’t be that these past few years the reason why you don’t talk about your feelings is because of him?”

“Nonsense.” An Ran was angered, and looks at her as she states, “Xiao Xiao, I must say you’ve lost some heart. Mo Fei won’t be tempted by you, furthermore he won’t divorce for you.” At the time he chose to leave her because of money and power, so why would he give all of those up just for a woman. He actually is a selfish man. What he loved the most, all along, was himself.

“How do you know he won’t.” Xiao Xiao looks at her. “I can see that he’s interested in you, and I, can assure that I am much better than you. I am confident that sooner or later there will be a day that he will fall for me.”

An Ran stares at her for a while, ultimately not saying anything.

Xiao Xiao still smiles, and stands up. “Oh right, the man you left with that day doesn’t look too bad, even though his conditions seem so-so.” Saying that, she turns around and leaves.

First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 38 Translation

Warning: PG-13




038. Morning


It was dawn. The morning light is shining through the curtains. The morning wind blows in between the window gap, slowly lifting the rice-white curtains.

An Ran turns slowly, to hazily see the faint expression of the man beside her, holding her while sleeping soundly. She then turns red, bashful. Everything that transpired last night seemed as if it were a dream, truly unnatural. She can confirm the fact that men with experience really can reduce the pain of a woman’s first time. The moment he entered her last night, although it was as if she was being ripped apart, but it wasn’t as bad as what Lin Li had said, so painful that it throws out the back.

An Ran looks at the man sleeping soundly beside, not allowing a moment to blink. Her gaze impudent and brazen, this is the first time that she is looking at him so earnestly. He really is good looking. Strong, thick eyebrows, tall nose bridge. An Ran even just found out that even his eyelashes were long, like a woman’s; dense and fine and black. But it’s not the same, his eyebrows although long, doesn’t lift up, so it doesn’t give off a feminine feeling.

As An Ran looks on, she suddenly reaches out mischievously, softly brushing across those delicate long lashes, only to see Su Yi Cheng’s eyelid move faintly. However, he does not waken right away. An Ran, feeling that it was really fun, reaches out and brushes them again and again, as if she would not get tired of it, to the extent that she hasn’t noticed that the corner of the mouth of a certain someone was curving up handsomely.

Because she was scared that he would waken, An Ran holds her tongue, not moving at all. After last night, An Ran became a coward, afraid that when he wakes up the two would face each other awkwardly with four eyes. So she begins to slyly withdraw from his embrace.

She carefully grabs and lifts the hand resting on her waist. She moves as gently as possible to escape the hand that she is propping up, but in the next instant, the man behind her pulls on her softly, holding her and running his hands about her as he seizes the embrace once again, chin resting against her forehead. “Where you going?”

Su Yi Cheng’s hug and his appearance was unburdened, not as good as his refined, gentle appearance. His hug carries a strong possessive desire. One hand wraps around her, the other places itself on her lower back. His large palm presses against her stiff buttocks, four limbs stifling her even more, as if he wanted her to merge into his body.

That kind of intimate skinship made An Ran’s face turn red. “I-it’s morning.” An Ran says stiffly.

“Yeah.” Su Yi Cheng quietly replies. His large palms continue to caress her smooth back. “It’s still early. Let’s sleep some more.”

An Ran had slept well, embarrassed, ashamed, and she couldn’t even clearly say what her mood was like right now. She raises her head and looks at him, only to see his eyes still closed, doubting that he was still somewhat awake. “I-I’ll make breakfast.”

Hearing that, Su Yi Cheng suddenly opens his eyes, meeting her eyes right then. An Ran immediately blushes and lowers her head to avoid his eyes. Everything that had happened last night was still vivid in her mind, those shameful scenes only made An Ran feel embarrassed.

The corner of Su Yi Cheng’s mouth rises into a smile. To him, her red face made her extremely adorable. He gives her lowered forehead a kiss, asking as he smiles, “Hungry?”

In actuality, she wasn’t starving, however An Ran just wanted to hurry up and leave, leave this room, away from this man. Nodding furiously, she says, “Yeah. Let me get up, I’m starving.”

“Ok.” Su Yi Cheng replies absentmindedly. His large palms support her back. He runs it along her and pushes her closer to his chest, not allowing even a single crack between them. Then that dark, husky voice speaks into her ears, stiffly saying, “Yeah. I’m hungry too.”

An Ran turns stiff, not daring to budge. She can obviously feel the solid thing pressing up between her legs, her instincts giving her a bad premonition. The smile on her face is stiff. “I I I, I’ll get up and make you something.”

Su Yi Cheng laughs and arches his brows. That place had just woken up and was like a mist. He stares at An Ran. Under the covers, he turns his body to lean on her, drawing her body closer so she can feel even more clearly his early morning high-spirit. Evilly biting his lips, he smiles, “It’s ok. There’s stuff already made.”

“Uh…W-where.” An Ran was made dizzy. She awkwardly smiles at him, continuing to lean towards the back.

Su Yi Cheng laughs. Her defence hasn’t loosened an inch even when knocking. He only laughs. “You!”

An Ran panicked, quickly saying, “Su Su Su Yi Cheng it’s already morning we wuuu—“

An Ran didn’t have the chance to open her mouth. Su Yi Cheng turns over and presses down on her, enjoying his delicious ‘breakfast’.



When An Ran woke up again the lightness of the sky outside was already bright. Today’s weather was really nice. The sun was shining brightly, according to how well the room was lit from the inside. The Su Yi Cheng beside her had also gone away a while ago. An Ran props herself up halfway, only to then discover her entire body was aching as if something was pushing down on her, causing her whole body to lose strength. In her heart she furiously swears at Lin Li that chit. But this time around, joining with Su Yi Cheng, she also didn’t evade it.

She reaches out and grabs the cellphone from the cabinet beside her. 9:50. Seeing that, she powerlessly puts the phone down, closing her eyes. She lies down intending to let her body recuperate for a bit. Only the next instant that she had closed her eyes, An Ran’s pair of eyes suddenly widen, her body also shoots up ignoring the soreness. Once again grabbing the cellphone. “9:50!” God, she has a meeting this morning!

She really couldn’t take care of anything else. She jumps up, wrapping a blanket around her and takes out some clothes from the armoire, heading to the bathroom afterwards. She quickly bathes and changes and puts on light makeup. When she was anxiously preparing to go to work she suddenly catches a glimpse of her own neck, covered with hickeys. She stays shocked for a moment, her face then erupts into redness. She grabs some cover-up and ferociously pats it on her neck, muttering a few swears to Su Yi Cheng.

Even with a few good layers of the cover-up it couldn’t conceal the love bite that was left behind. In the end An Ran had no other choice but to use the scarf that she had bought yesterday, intending to gift it to Su Yi Jiao. Fortunately the weather today is expected to be chilly, so wearing a scarf wouldn’t seem too out of place.

When she was content with her presentability, she grabs her bag and immediately leaves, not noticing the heated sandwich and the brief message written on the kitchen counter.

First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 37 Translation

Warning: PG-13 

037. Night, really captivating


After delivering the set of pyjamas, 10 minutes later, the bathroom door was still closed.

Su Yi Cheng stands outside the door. His lust hasn’t calmed down at all. On the contrary it blazed up even more, his mind still on An Ran’s appearance when wearing those thin pyjamas, carrying a quiet elegance, attractively charming. With that in mind, the desire in his body surges up even more.

“An Ran.” Su Yi Cheng calls out, his voice terribly dark. The him at the moment is impulsive, he even thought of opening the door and going in, so he can embrace her tightly.

Another unknown amount of time has passed. “Ka….” The bathroom door finally opens. An Ran comes out, with a not-so-big towel wrapped around her. The towel wraps around her exquisite curves, yet leaving behind a pair of slender long legs.

Upon seeing the Su Yi Cheng standing outside, An Ran suddenly turns red, at once appearing like a ripe red apple. All of this was seen by Su Yi Cheng, it was very adorable.

Su Yi Cheng’s eyes fixes on her, his gaze not even allowing a wink, as if he was looking at some kind of treasure. A single blink would cause him to miss something.

Being looked at like that made An Ran embarrassed, she avoids her gaze to avoid looking directly at him, at the same time her heart ruthlessly swears up and down at Lin Li's, that chit, few generations a few times over. “Actually, I…. Th-these pyjamas aren’t mine— ” Her hands tightly grips onto the towel.

“An Ran.”

An Ran was trying to think of an explanation, but was interrupted by him. Then, unable to speak, she raises her head, looks at him dazedly.

Su Yi Cheng simply looks at her, then walks towards her, staring at her for a while. Then he reaches out and embraces her, pulling her closely to his chest, and whispers to her ears, “An Ran, are you ready?”

Because of the tormenting desire, his voice has changed, becoming exceptionally husky yet magnetic. Hearing that sound at this very moment, unexpectedly brings upon an alluring atmosphere, making An Ran forget how to respond. She can only foolishly let him have his way by holding her.

An Ran was frightened by the heat of his body, her stiff body being hugged by him, their bodies sticking together, not allowing even a gap between them.

“An Ran….” His deep husky voice speaks into her ear.

She was a bit scared, appearing to accept what is about to happen next, but still wishes to push him away. Yet she doesn’t have the willpower to refuse him, resist him.

Su Yi Cheng kisses her ear. On her smooth, fair neck he leaves behind faint, light red marks. That is the imprint that he is branding on her.

In fact, before An Ran came out she had already prepared herself. It’ll happen sooner or later, and tonight can only be considered Heaven’s will. She really can’t bring herself to refuse him again. Even though she’s still nervous, a little worried, but right now An Ran is slowly learning to accept it.

So An Ran, thinking, closes her eyes, forgetting her own anxiousness and fear, to give her entire self to him. He is her husband, the person that she will spend her future years with together, walking alongside with her. She slowly raises her hand to his neck, learning to slowly respond to his kisses.

Feeling her response, seeming like a silent encouragement, Su Yi Cheng hugs her even tighter, his kisses becomes even more coarse and wild.

Although An Ran can’t keep up with his pace, but she still yields herself to match him as much as possible.

Rubbing the towel that was binding her between his fingers, doesn’t know how it was pulled down. The sexy undergarments that was put on An Ran’s body was faintly discernible. White skin contrasting against that bright and beautiful rose flower made An Ran, her entire person, give off the vibe of a delicate, sexy person.

Su Yi Cheng looks at her foolishly, his gaze does not move even an inch. She’s even more beautiful than his imagination. The clothes on her body is a hundredfold sexier than what he’d imagined!

A slight chill made An Ran’s spirit return. She opens her eyes, only to see Su Yi Cheng closely staring at her in lust with his two eyes. She lowers her head suddenly, and it was then that she discovered her towel had already rolled down to her foot, and right now on her body all she is wearing is Lin Li’s so-called ‘wedding gift’.

She abruptly takes her arms out to shield her chest, bashfully widens her big eyes and looks at him in discomfort. In an instant her small face becomes scorching red. To be stared at by him is really uncomfortable. Out of humiliation, she adorably blames, “Pervert, don’t look!”

Su Yi Cheng turns a deaf ear to her seductive rebuke. He was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery before him. Men, sure enough, are animals who are easily swayed by their lower half.

An Rans hands shield her front, but couldn’t shield her lower half. In the end she simply reaches her hands out to cover Su Yi Cheng’s eyes, protesting, “N-no need to look.”

To have her cover his eyes, the corner of his mouth slowly rises. Earlier when he was imagining her appearance in those clothes, she was also using her hands to cover what she could cover.

He reaches out and uses his strength to encircle her into his embrace once again. It seems like her full-bodied softness fit snugly in his chest. His lips rub against her ears, a warm breath sprinkles across her ears.

An Ran can’t help but shudder, her heart beating powerfully.

“An Ran.” Su Yi Cheng whispers, his voice is immersed in a dark, husky tone speaking into her ears. “Are you seducing me?” That tone, had a hint of provocation.

An Ran ferociously shakes her head, thinking of an explanation with all her might. “I, I’m not. Lin Li bought these pyjamas. I absolutely am not---“

And then, An Ran was speechless again.

Su Yi Cheng’s lips hungrily covers her red lips, faintly gasping for a breath. His passionate tongue forces* itself into her mouth, connecting with her tongue, slides past her pearly white teeth and re-connects with her pink tongue. An Ran whimpers, her hands tightly grasps onto his pyjamas. 

(*T/N: I was conflicted between the choice of the words push or force... The original text uses a phrase that translates to "rule by might"/ "tyranny" etc... So I apologize if my word choice seems a bit too... you know...)

“Su….Su Yi Cheng.” An Ran whispers. It was even more pleasant to listen to compared to his imagination.

Su Yi Cheng lifts up her two legs and brings her to the large bed behind them.

The temperature of the room rises up bit by bit. The midst of the atmosphere carries a kind of heat that’ll burn people. Soon after the woman’s pants, the man’s low growl slowly dies out during this night.

In the room is the charming and gentle radiance of spring. Outside the window, night, is really captivating.

T/N: Well then... The chapter is a lot tamer than I thought it'd be, don't know why they censored a chunk of this chapter but not the reference to the condom brand in the previous chapter, like whaaat??

Still haven't figured out how to restrict certain posts, but I guess for now i'll make do with the warning at the beginning.

036. Sexy undergarments


The April weather is already slowly starting its anticipation of heat. The footsteps of spring was gradually leaving, while the marches of summer is stealthily approaching.

After sending Lin Li home and once again returning to Su Yi Cheng’s apartment, it was already past 10 o’clock. Entering the door, the living room was an area of darkness. She turns on the light and carries the stuff in her hands into the master bedroom.

Accompanying Lin Li to stroll around for the entire evening, An Ran feels that her entire body now is uncomfortably sticky, and she hasn’t put away the spoils of war that she had bought this evening. Instead, she opens the armoire and takes out a pair of pyjamas before heading to the bath.

However, just as An Ran stepped foot into the bathroom, the door opens. Su Yi Cheng carries a briefcase, his complexion haggard as he enters, hair messy, clothes slightly wrinkled.

“Y-you’re back.” An Ran looks at him in surprise. She clearly remembered earlier this morning that he said he may not make it back today.

Su Yi Cheng nods, and places the briefcase in his hands onto a nearby cabinet. “Things ran smoother than expected.” Seeing her dressed up, he asks, “Just came back?”

An Ran nods, truthfully stating, “Ate with Lin Li this evening. Also strolled a bit afterwards.” Seeing him peeling off his coat, An Ran quickly retreats from the bathroom. “Wanna shower? Y-you can wash first.”

Su Yi Cheng smiles at her, and takes out a change of clothing pyjamas from the armoire, saying, “It’s okay, you can wash first. I can use the other bathroom.” After saying that, he directly leaves the room with his clothes.

An Ran stares at him dazedly, her spirit returning after a while. She turns around and goes into the bathroom.


After Su Yi Cheng has finished bathing, and returned to the master bedroom, An Ran still hadn’t come out. He sees two bags sitting on the bed. Because he was curious, he nonchalantly takes out an item from one of the bags. His face turns red. He puts the bags back into its original position, his expression a bit unnatural.

Su Yi Cheng didn’t expect that the bag would contain An Ran’s undergarments. Holding it in his hands, felt strange.

“Ah!” All of a sudden, An Ran’s cry can be heard from the bathroom.

Su Yi Cheng turns around, running towards the bathroom. Standing in front of the door, he knocks and asks, “An Ran, what happened?”

“Uh… I-it’s nothing.” An Ran’s voice calls out from the bathroom. From what he can discern, it really is nothing.

However, that cry from before sounded genuine as well. Su Yi Cheng was still worried. “An Ran, open the door.”

“W-wait, I-I’m still not ready.” Inside the bathroom, An Ran wraps the towel around her, staring at the pyjama that’s completely soaked, feeling helpless. She didn’t know when she had accidentally dropped the pyjamas that were hanging on the shelf. When she had finished washing up and was about to change, she then saw the pyjamas on the ground, the entire thing had already been drenched early on.

This pyjama can’t be worn, but what can be done now. Then, her mind recalls that Lin Li had just bought her a wedding gift. Now An Ran appreciates Lin Li’s brilliance. That set of pyjamas, compared to the one in her hands, is a little sexier, but can still be considered conservative. But, right now the pyjamas are outside, the problem now is how to get it in.

“An Ran?” From outside, Su Yi Cheng calls out again.

“That, that.” Her hands clenches on the towel around her body. An Ran speaks hesitantly, “Su, Su Yi Cheng, you, can you help me by getting the pyjamas on the bed to me, my, my pyjamas fell into the water.

“Sure.” Hearing that she truly is alright, Su Yi Cheng can finally be at ease. He turns and grabs the pyjamas on the bed, purposely avoiding his gaze on the bag containing her bra, and picks up the other bag, taking out the clothes from inside. A small box falls out as he takes the clothes out, landing beside his foot.

Stooping down to pick up the box, he can clearly see the writing on the box. His eyes widen. Impressively written on the box is, “Jie Shi Bang*!” Turning to look at the tightly closed bathroom door, Su Yi Cheng was caught off guard.

[*A/N: Jie Shi Bang… Is a condom brand puahahaha oh Lin Li!]

He unfolds the pyjamas that his hands were clutching. It was better not to look. With one look, Su Yi Cheng simply felt his entire body heat up as if it were burning, heat vigorously flowing towards a certain part of his body. His breath starts to quicken, his mind out of control as he imagines An Ran’s appearance as she comes out wearing these pyjamas. His body seemed to heat up even more.

An Ran grips on the towel, leaning against the bathroom door, yet not sensing any movement outside. She assumes that he still hasn’t found it, so she utters, “Su, Su Yi Cheng? Still, still haven’t found it?” Obviously not, the bag was on the bed, it’s quite visible.

“Cough…..” Outside the door, Su Yi Cheng’s spirit returns. Mutely sighing, he clenches the pyjamas in his hands. He strides forward towards the bathroom. “F-found it.”

“T-then I’ll have to trouble you to give it to me.” An Ran’s grasp on her towel tightens. With a hand she slowly opens the door until there is a tiny crack, her arms extending out.

Su Yi Cheng hands over the gauze-y pyjamas to her, but he doesn’t immediately release his hands. His dark voice incredibly husky, “You sure that you want to wear this?” He says each word slowly.

An Ran grabs on to the pyjamas, a bit shocked. She sees that his expression is a bit strange, even more she doesn’t really understand what he just meant, so she just shyly says, “T-the pyjamas that I just took fell into the water, it’s all wet.”

Su Yi Cheng looks at her innocent expression. After bathing her face carries a delicate flush, fresh and clean like a newly-picked honey peach, seducing him right now. He only feels a certain part of his body tightening up, hurting incredibly. He lets go of the pyjamas, suddenly turning his back.

An Ran doesn’t think too much of it, grabs the pyjamas and withdraws back, closing the bathroom door tightly. When An Ran was happily about to change, and had just unfolded it, she was frightened by it. How is this anything like Lin Li’s set. Apart from being the same colour, the style isn’t the least bit similar. Thin shoulder straps, below it is a soft gauze, transparent and loose. The matching pants couldn’t even be called pants. A single thread passes through the two pieces of thin clothing. It can only cover a few things.

Now she understands what Su Yi Cheng meant just then! Her face bursts red, scalding, making An Ran almost feel

Heavens! Right now An Ran hates that she can’t dig a hole in the ground, burying herself in it and letting her die in it. She’s truly too embarrassed to face anyone!

Inside the bathroom, An Ran sends a greeting to Lin Li’s 18 generations of ancestors. She doesn’t know what she did to offend her, that chit unexpectedly messed with her like this, fancy that she had invited her to pig out and send her home, that chit, truly, truly she wants to kill her!

Looking at the appealing undergarment in her hands, and also looking at the wet pyjamas lying on the ground, An Ran only feels like crying tearlessly.

All hail Lin Li, LOL. Advanced warning, a large portion of the next chapter was censored out in the source that I was using. However, I did find another source that contains the rest of it.

First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 35 Translation

035. Wedding gifts


Lin Li originally can really eat. After getting pregnant she can eat even more. The food on the table, An Ran hadn’t moved her chopsticks that much, yet all of them have been intercepted by Lin Li.

Before leaving, An Ran excuses herself to go to the washroom, while secretly taking the bill and going to the counter to pay. Although Su Yi Jiao had said that the next time they come would be on her, but she still feels uncomfortable with that.

When she returned to Lin Li she was making a call to her Cheng Xiang, looking bashful. The moment made An Ran recall that once you shed Lin Li’s casual haughty disposition, she’s also a loveable cutie.

Seeing An Ran come over, Lin Li says a few words to Cheng Xiang and ends the call. Facing An Ran she says, “Little An, my little Xiang has a dinner party this evening, so tonight it’s your turn to serve this Lao Fo Ye with drinks and entertainment.”

“We’ve eaten the good stuff and the drank the good stuff, where does Lao Fo Ye* want to go next?” An Ran plays along with Lin Li.

*T/N: Lao Fo Ye - empress dowager 

Lin Li’s pair of large eyes sneak a roll, and says, “Let’s go shopping. We have to digest after we eat, and my Cheng Xiang said that when he gets back he’ll bring nuo mi ji.”

*nuo mi ji - sticky rice

An Ran rolls her eyes, angrily saying, “You need to control yourself a bit, be careful you might make my daughter burst.”

“Go to hell. My son’s stomach will be just as capable as mine.” Lin Li proudly says as she looks her in the eye.

An Ran scoffs, and the two exit You Ran restaurant.


In the car, An Ran puts on a slow and gentle piano tune. Lin Li opens the window half way. The evening’s night wind is blowing in the same direction as the path they’re traveling, whistling into the car.

“Oh yeah, you and that Su---Su Yi Cheng got the certificate. So when are you going to do the wedding?” In the car, Lin Li asks as she suddenly thought about it.

“We’re not planning on doing a wedding.” An Ran says indifferently, her eyes focused on looking ahead, on the road.

“Why? He doesn’t want to do it?” Lin Li looks at her strangely. In her opinion, even though weddings are just formalities, it’s still much more important than that certificate. If there’s no wedding then there wouldn’t be blessings, as if they were sneaking around, never to see the light.

An Ran shakes her head, “No, it’s me that doesn’t want to do it. It’s too inconvenient.”

“An zi*, this is a woman’s lifelong dream. If you’re scared it’s inconvenient, at the least you’re also giving yourself that one day, wearing a pretty wedding dress, accepting everyone’s blessings, having a father leading you down the aisle to bring you to the hands of your beloved man.” Lin Li states.

*Zi - term of endearment 

An Ran looks at her in the eye, forces a smile and says, “Lin Li, I’m not like you. What I have with Su Yi Cheng isn’t like what you have with Cheng Xiang.”

“An Ran, you’re not taking responsibility for yourself.” Lin Li fixes her gaze on her, her expression serious, even grave.

An Ran looks at her, and laughs. “If one day Su Yi Cheng and I get to the point to what you and Cheng Xiang have now, then I will definitely make him throw me a wedding to make up for it.” But will there ever be that day? Who knows.

Lin Li turns silent for a while. The vehicle has arrived at the mall. Just before alighting the car, she says, “An zi, arrange a time for me and your Su Yi Cheng to meet.” An Ran was her best friend, she needs to see what kind of man this Su Yi Cheng is. If he’s not good, she definitely would not allow him to bully An Ran.

An Ran parks the car at the curb. She turns to smile at Lin Li, and nods, “Sure.”

Lin Li also smiles. She opens the door and gets off, “An zi, let’s go. Let’s go in with this Lao Fo Ye. Lao Fo Ye needs to see what things are appropriate to give you for wedding gifts.”

“Ha, then I will need to first give thanks to Lao Fo Ye, for your spending.” An Ran smiles as she speaks.

“It’s nothing. When the time comes for mine and Cheng Xiang’s wedding, you need to give me one just as well. Nothing much, has to be around the 5 to 6 digit price range.” Lin Li says without reserve.

“Screw you, robbing me.”

At first An Ran wasn't thinking of buying anything, but now she recalls that the day after tomorrow she might have to meet Su Yi Cheng’s parents. In that case she pulls An Ran to go buy two scarves, one with a toned-down style, another with a lively colour.

Lin Li sees An Ran carrying two bags, continuously nodding her head, “Yes, in-law relations are the most problematic, have to manage it well. Some other day I’ll also get my mother-in-law something, give her something to laugh about.”

Hearing that, An Ran turns to look at her stomach, smiling, “Seems to me you don’t need to buy anything, just raise your child well and that’s enough. How timely that you don’t need to work too, you can focus on marriage preparations and giving birth at home.”

As they talk they enter a shop for pyjamas. An Ran thinks about her own bras that have been worn until deformity. While they’re at it she directly goes to that section and picks out some bras, while Lin Li was at the sales counter bothering the worker with something.

An Ran picks out a few that she wears frequently, simple style, and does not try it on, takes them to the counter to pay. When she gets there, there were two bags on the counter. Apparently Lin Li was already done. Seeing her come over, she takes out a pair of pyjamas from the bag and shows it off, “How is it, look good?”

The style wasn’t sexy, had a normal silk shoulder strap, around the center there was an especially pretty delicate flower drawn on it.

An Ran nods, saying, “Very nice.”

Lin Li nods satisfied, puts the pyjamas back into the bag, and takes out another one and hands it to her, saying, “I liked it once I saw it, look, I also bought you a set.”

An Ran reaches out to take it, inspecting it. The same red rose. She carries her bag and laughs as she looks at Lin Li, saying, “Lin Li, you're real stingy, just giving me pyjamas, and still want me to give you something in the 5 to 6 digit price range.”

“Haha, nowadays you’re together with a wealthy person, what is it to haggle with us ordinary people. Speaking of that, don’t look down on pyjamas, it might have more power than you think.” As she says this she turns to face the service counter attendant beside her and asks, “Wouldn’t you agree?”

“Yes.” She only sees the attendant smiling at An Ran ambiguously, nodding.

An Ran doesn’t think too much of it, and lets the attendant ring up the underwear, then she put it in the bag and the two left.

The two stay in the mall and stroll around for a bit. Lin Li bought her Cheng Xiang some dress shirts. She sees that it’s almost time, so the two get ready to go home.

They put their stuff in the back, and An Ran starts the car to send Lin Li this Lao Fo Ye home.

On the road, An Ran looks at Lin Li sitting beside her, satisfyingly and quietly appreciating the pyjamas before her, when suddenly a question flashes upon her. Her complexion starts to blush, she begins to speak, somewhat embarrassed. “Lin, Lin Li.”

“Yeah?” Lin Li answers, not turning her head, her eyes still fixed on the pyjamas in her hands. She really likes the flower. Very exquisitely pretty.

An Ran leaves her mouth open for a while, yet she still couldn’t spit it out.

After a long time not waiting for a reply, Lin Li couldn’t endure it. She raises her head and asks, “What is it?”

An Ran looks at her in the eye, finally, red-faced, she spits it out. “That, does the first time always hurt?” She has no experience, but it is said that it hurts. She doesn’t know, so she wanted to ask Lin Li. After all she is an experienced person, with ample of experience.

“What first time? What hurts?” Lin Li’s reaction was eternally slow, but this slowness made An Ran blow her top.

“It’s, it’s that. You, you and Cheng Xiang’s first time did it hurt?” Her face felt like it was on fire, An Ran really wanted to die, wishing that she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

Lin Li was dazed for a half a day, when she suddenly and violently utters, “My god, you guys still haven’t done it!”

An Ran feels her face boiling up even more, perhaps, she shouldn’t have asked Lin Li this question.

“Of course the first time will hurt. That time it was the first for us both, no experience at all, almost threw my back.” Lin Li recalls, that simple, blood-soaked battle, all experience were blood and tears!

An Ran listens cautiously, timidly asking, “Then, then does that mean a man with experience won’t hurt that much?” This year Su Yi Cheng was 32 years old. Even though she doesn’t know how much women there were before, but according to his conditions, he should be plenty experienced.

Lin Li stares at her coldly, saying, “How should I know, I’ve never experienced it.”

First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 34 Translation

034. Lin Li’s wrath


Just before knocking off work, she received Lin Li’s call, asking An Ran to accompany her for a meal. Her mood does not sound too good.

At first An Ran wanted to turn it down, since she recently had an agreement with Huang De Xing. However, concerning the blueprint of the government building, she hasn’t even come up with a preliminary draft, so she has been working late to catch up. But she wasn’t able to even get a word out, the Lin Li on the other line ‘Lao Fo Ye’, had already ended the conversation, so she didn’t even hear her decline. Ultimately, An Ran’s refusal was left in her stomach.

After Lin Li had graduated university she directly went to work at a family estate business as a sales representative. She normally doesn’t have any passion nor any demands, plus Cheng Xiang’s income was quite good. As far as work is concerned, Lin Li never has it in her mind, so she has been working at that company for six years. Although they had entered work at the same time she has already become the section manager now, her alone, is still a minor sales floor employee, usually her performance hits sufficiency for each month’s goal. [T/N: as in she just hits the goal, no more no less. Brain fart, can’t think of a good paraphrase haha.]

When An Ran knocked off work she received Lin Li’s text, saying that she’s already downstairs, which made her rush down. An Ran doesn’t know what had happened, but she guesses that she had an argument with Cheng Xiang. However guessing from Lin Li’s mood right now, the matter seems to be a lot more serious than she thought. Assuming that, An Ran quickly tidies up, takes her bag, leaving soon afterwards.

When An Ran had started the car and left the parking lot, she saw Lin Li standing at the company’s main entrance, her expression really off, a box sitting beside her legs.

An Ran cranks the door open and calls out to her, only to see Lin Li carry the box and walk towards her, pull the back door open, and immediately throws the box in. Then, in anger, she circles around to the front of the car, opens the door and gets in. Her face expressionless, she says, “Drive.”

An Ran sees that her complexion is amiss, so she doesn’t ask further. She simply starts the car and leaves.

The car had been on the road for a while now, so An Ran starts to ask Lin Li, “Lao Fo Ye, where are we going?”

“You Ran restaurant.” Lin Li says spitefully.

“Cough….” An Ran chokes on her own saliva. She turns to Lin Li and says, “How about, how about we go some place else? We can go to one of our old spots where the food is still just as good.”

Lin Li faces her, says, “What do you mean change? Where else can we go where we don’t have to spend money?”

An Ran turns red in shame, this girl was actually thinking of dining and dashing!

When they arrived at You Ran restaurant An Ran immediately takes a corner table. It seems that Lin Li is really pissed off, as she takes the menu and nearly orders every single dish available. She sees the server standing beside them a bit flabbergasted, and had asked An Ran if there was another person coming, and if they wanted to change to a private room upstairs.

An Ran shakes her head in embarrassment, snatches the menu from Lin Li’s hand and returns it to the server, quickly saying that’s all for now, so that they can serve the food faster.

The server nods repeatedly, taking the menu, and pours the tea while he's at it.

An Ran was looking at Lin Li who had an unsightly face, asking as nicely as possible, “What’s wrong? Which slave had upset our Lao Fo Ye?”

“Hmph, some people are really shameless, he thought he was such hot stuff, he thought that I wanted to work under him, and doesn’t look at himself, greedy and vain depending on a woman to ascend, he says such things and isn’t afraid of humiliation.” Lin Li says hatefully.

As An Ran listens her forehead creases, completely lost. “What’s the context? Tell me.”

Lin Li turns her head, looking at An Ran, says, “An Ran it’s a good thing that you broke up that year, that girl absolutely isn’t just a thing!”

“You’re talking about Mo Fei?” An Ran probes.

“Who else if not him.” Thinking about it pissed off Lin Li. She had no idea that the new boss in her company was Mo Fei. Furthermore, they sent out emails from human resources, saying that her work was lazy and lacking enthusiasm, and the company didn’t hesitate to fire her.

“What in the world happened?” An Ran was confused, not understanding why Mo fei was tearing Lin Li down, furthermore it was about the matters of work.

Lin Li drinks a mouthful of water. Not long ago, Lin Li’s company location was bought off by a big American building company, and today was the day that the new supervisor would take over. Lin Li didn’t expect that that person would be none other than Mo Fei. When she saw Mo Fei, on the spot, she scolded him with a few words such as hypocrite, which unfortunately was heard by a few other people who happened to be there. Lin Li was a person who saw things in black and white; good was good, bad was bad. Seeing him, without restraint she glared back at him, not showing even a bit of weakness.

On the spot, Mo Fei did not flare up at all. He looks her in the eye, and simply turns around to head up. Lin Li turns around, returns to her seat and starts a resignation letter, but the other person was even quicker, as it hasn’t even been 10 minutes since Mo Fei had gone up, some one from human resources called Lin Li. Pressured from HR, Lin Li then tears her resignation letter in half and was obliged to abandon it. Then she directly goes to HR. Who knew that once she got to HR, the HR manager immediately throws her a letter of dismissal, saying that her work was lazy and not enthusiastic so she is dismissed.

Lin Li stopped speaking, immediately took the letter and went go to bother the chairman. She pushed the door to come in and reprimanded Mo Fei. She then threw the letter onto his desk, but she didn’t expect him to cut her short. He immediately called for security to escort her out, even having security monitor her as she tidies her stuff up to confirm that she hadn’t taken anything from the company, not one paper nor even a pen. Only then could she leave.

Lin Li had never received this kind of treatment before. The anger in her heart soared and steamed her bravery. After all that she immediately called An Ran, and called for a taxi and headed straight to her work place.

“Hypocrite, really a petty person, having a face yet acting as if he doesn’t, this is not a thing.” Lin Li said angrily, her hands had never stopped moving. She just picks up her chopsticks and takes a piece of sweet and sour pork and stuffs it into her mouth, but not forgetting to tell An Ran, “Luckily, luckily you guys broke up that year.”

An Ran sees that she doesn’t retort, and doesn’t expose Lin Li that, that year when they were in the dorms she had praised Mo Fei and Cheng Xiang to their roommate, that they were T uni’s highest-quality men; their grades were top-ranking, their looks were top quality, character was top quality. Perhaps not forgetting about the past, she was certain that Mo Fei wouldn’t turn out this way. But with this morning, she came to understand one thing. A lot of time has passed, things will change. Especially people. Someone who was once so familiar, meeting them again will only leave a sense of unfamiliarity.

Lin Li drinks a mouthful of water, forcing down the food in her mouth. Then with her chopsticks she reaches for a Gong Bao prawn ball, also adding, “In my opinion, your current husband isn’t too bad, at least he’s better than that guy by a lot.”

An Ran was surprised, looking at her suspiciously, “You’ve met Su Yi Cheng?” She definitely does not remember when she had introduced the two!

“Su Yi Cheng? Who’s Su Yi Cheng?” The pair of chopsticks stop mid-air, Lin Li was not herself.

An Ran rolls her eyes, powerless as she was defeated by her.

Seeing her react that way, Lin Li speedily reacts, “Oh, your husband. I’ve never met him. Have you ever introduced us?”

An Ran blushes, picks up a cup of water and drinks a mouthful of it. Then she asks, “Never met, then how would you know whether or not he was good?”

Lin Li looks at the table filled with food, and blankly says, “This is an all you can eat buffet and you don’t need to pay a cent, isn’t that good!”

An Ran has nothing to say. She looks at the dishes on the table, unable to come up with anything.


---END OF CHAPTER---

Sorry for the late update, and I only was able to get one chapter done this week. Apologies. It's also unedited, excuse the constant switching of tenses... the chapter was a lot longer than usual, so I paraphrased some stuff... 

Again, apologies. Was just not a good week bc of work. Actually was depressed, but thanks to Lin Li she kinda lifted my spirits up a bit haha. Love her.
