113 Child

Su Yi Cheng and several people in the bidding office sat in a small  conference room to discuss the bidding for the Ke Ji city project.  Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table sounded at this time, it is an  unknown number. Reaching out and ending the call directly, looking up at  the few people sitting there, said, "I want to know what everyone thinks."

"I think we should choose a well established construction company in the  city. After all, the strength of the company is already evident, and the  quality is sure to be guaranteed. Now, there is nothing else to be afraid  of. The most we have to fear is shoddy worksmanship!"  a middle-aged man  who is slightly chubby said.

"I disagree." The other person said with another point of view, "I don't  think we should just look at the company's reputation. If so then what use do we need to have a tender for? We can just directly call the CEOs of  those companies, and then distribute several projects each. Wouldn't it be  easier?"

"Then how does Director Zhang think we should proceed then?" The man  countered, his tone clearly not pleased.

The man who was called Director Zhang looked at him and said, “According  to my point of view, this tender must be fair and just. Everyone, don’t let a few glasses of wine or something dimmed your principles. Whoever has the strength will get the bid, it doesn't matter what relations he has or who  recommends it!" The tone is very hard, and the words in the words clearly  pointing to some of the people sitting down.

"What do you mean by that, don't point around blindly!" The man looked at  him agitated. He was about to continue to speak, but was stopped by the  door that suddenly sounded.

Secretary Zheng knocked and came in the door, his face was slightly solemn. He went straight to Su Yi Cheng and whispered a few words. Su Yi Cheng’s face immediately change, and the original curl of his lips suddenly tighten. He got up immediately and only said aloud, "Let's leave it here  for today, let’s talk about it tomorrow." Then he grabbed the mobile phone on the table, even leaving the documents and materials on the table. He  then strode out of the meeting room.

Some of the people sitting in the room did not manage to react to this, and  they turned to look at Secretary Zheng puzzled.

Secretary Zheng cleaned up the documents left by Su Yi Cheng on the table  and glanced at them. He explained, "Someone called and said that the wife of Assistant Mayor Su had an accident and is now in the city hospital."

Su Yi Cheng did not even go back to the office. He went straight out of the  conference room and went downstairs. Even his briefcase was not tidied up.

Taking out the mobile phone and redialing the missed call, the phone was  picked up after two rings. "Hello."

Su Yi Cheng was surprised the person who called turned out to be Zhou Han,  and was even more unexpected that he was with An Ran.

However, that is another matter altogether, Su Yi Cheng quickly refocus and  asked, "How is An Ran, where are you now?"

"We are in the city hospital, An Ran is still in the emergency center."  Zhou Han said quietly.

"Got it." There was no need to say more, and he just hang up, After getting  the car from the parking lot, he headed directly toward the city hospital.

Lin Li was standing restlessly outside the emergency center. Now she is very flustered. From what she saw of An Ran’s expression, if she is right,  she must be pregnant, but from the fall, and An Ran’s painful expression,  she is somewhat worried about the safety of the child. Because she has  experienced the same thing, she is too aware of how vulnerable the child is at this time.

The more she think about it, the more she worry. She look at the child who is sitting on the plastic bench with his head down. Although she is very angry, but she also knows she cannot take it out on a child.

At this time, Zhou Han, who had hung up the phone, came in from outside.  When she saw him. Lin Li’s anger exploded. She pointed to him and said,  “How do you teach your child, how can you let him do this? Letting him push people casually, the child can be excuse and said to be naughty, but as  parents just what kind of teachings did you give him? Didn't you teach him what can he play and can't play with? Now he's still so small and is already deliberately pushing others, when he grows up, is he going to kill  and set fire!" Lin Li glares at him, and because of her anger, the whole  person is agitated and trembled.

Zhou Han looked at her and said apologetically, "I didn't educate my child well, I am sorry!"

"Hmph." Lin Li said coldly. "If the apology is useful, then the murderer will not need to go to jail then!" She stared at him. "If anything happens  to Anzi, I want to see how you are going to be responsible for it!" After  that, she turned away angrily and walked to one side, having no intention  to see him.

Zhou Han glanced at her and turned to walk toward Xiaobin, who was sitting  on a plastic bench. Standing in front of him, he then asked in a cold  voice, "Why did you do this?"

The little guy looked up at him fearfully, his teeth biting on his lips,  his black eyes staring at him, but he didn't say a word.

Zhou Han looked at him and seeing that he did not answer. He roared at him sternly, "Answer me, I am asking you a question!"

Because of fear, the little guy shook mightily, and the tears fell, his  teeth still biting onto his lips, staring at him, forcing himself not to  cry out loud.

Not to mention the child, even Lin Li was shocked by him, and her heart was  flustered and jumped from the shock.

Unrelenting even in the face of the child's tears, Zhou Han’s face took on an uglier tone, and said harshly, “Zhou Qiebin, I will ask you again, why  did you push others deliberately?!”

The little guy shrunk his body from fright, looking at him in fear, and finally said, "It's, it’s mom, mom wants me to push auntie!"

Only when he speaks did Lin Li saw that he had actually bit so hard that  his lips was bleeding, how scared he must be! Looking at such a small  child, it makes people feel pity.

Hearing this, Zhou Han closed his eyes with some pain, and the hands on  both sides clutch tightly, as if restraining some kind of emotion! After a  while, he opened his eyes and looked at the son in front of him, said,  "Come here." Although the tone is much more gentle than before, it still  sounds very harsh.

The little guy is obviously afraid of him, and his body back away, not  going forward.

Upon seeing it, Zhou Han stepped forward and tried to pull him, but Lin Li from behind him was suddenly in front of him blocking him.

Lin Li thought that he was going to hit the child so she stood in front of the child protecting him, she said to Zhou Han, "You, how can you do  this, how can you teach a child like this! Don't you know domestic violence is illegal in this country?!" He is just too barbaric, if a child is wrong  they must be taught correctly, but you can't just hit them!

Zhou Han knew that she misunderstood. "I--" just wanted to explain when the  door of the emergency room opened. The doctor came out and pulled off the  mask worn and said, "Gu An Ran, who is the family of Gu An Ran."

Hearing this, Lin Li rush forward, excitedly grabbing the doctor's white  coat, and said, "I, I, I, I'm Gu An Ran's friend, doctor, how is An Ran? Is  she alright?"

Zhou Han also turned and looked at the doctor, his expression heavy.

The doctor patted Lin Li’s hand indicating for her to let go first. “Don’t  get excited, don’t get excited, fortunately you just made it in time, and  the force of the impact was blocked by her hand and was weakened a lot.  Both adult and child are fine. They're fine now. But for safety reasons,  she still have to stay in the hospital for a few days. Later I will let the  nurse transfer the patient to the obstetrics and gynaecology department."

Hearing this, Lin Li was relieved, let go of the clothes she was holding,  and whispered. "Nothing is wrong, everything is fine." But she did not  forget to thank the doctor and said, "Thank you doctor. Thank you doctor."

The doctor smiled at her and said before leaving. "The patient needs to  rest now. When you go in, please be careful not to get too excited and let  the patient rest."

Lin Li was busy nodding and said, "En en, fine fine."

When Su Yi Cheng rushed over, the emergency center was empty of An Ran's  figure, he quickly call Zhou Han, only to know that An Ran had been  transferred to the ward on the eighth floor.

When Su Yi Cheng rushed to the ward, he saw Zhou Han leaning against the  door of the ward, and Zhou Qiebin stood by his side with heads down.  Noticing that someone came over and turned his head, just in time to meet  the eyes of Su Yi Cheng.

Su Yi Cheng headed towards him, his eyes looked at him for a moment, and  after a moment he asked, "How is An Ran?"

Zhou Han looked at him and said, "She's fine."

Su Yi Cheng nodded, and his heart was relieved because of his two words. He  didn't say anything more to him. He crossed to the door and was about to  head in. There was a faint voice from Zhou Han.

"Congratulations."

Su Yi Cheng turned his head puzzled, his brows creased, and he was  perplexed by his congratulations.

Zhou Han smiled looking at his expression and knew that he didn't know. He  only said with a faint smile, "The doctor said that An Ran is pregnant."

Su Yi Cheng open his eyes wide and looked at him for a while, then he  hurriedly opened the door.

In the ward, An Ran was already awake, and she was lying down with the bed  prop up talking with Lin Li. The two were chatting happily. The door was  suddenly opened by someone. Only to see Su Yi Cheng rushing in from the  outside and strode to An Ran, looking at her.

Although Lin Li had never seen Su Yi Cheng before, she could guess his  identity. She turned and looked at An Ran only to see An Ran looking at him  emotionally. With a curl on her mouth, she then stood up and left the room. 

Su Yi Cheng did not speak, just looking at her as she was, and his eyes  stared at her belly for a moment.

An Ran was the first to refocus and call to him with a smile, "Yi Cheng."  Then she reached out to him and waited for him to hold her.

Su Yi Cheng responded, and reached out and held her hand, sitting down on  the edge of the bed, the other hand gently slid under the quilt, touched  her belly that is still flat at the moment, eyes still set upon her eyes.  The palm of the hand was heated and warm as he gently touches and caress  gently, as though he is touching a treasure that he cherishes, for fear of  breaking her if he use even an ounce of strength. Looking down at the  gently moving hand under the quilt, it took a while to voice his thoughts.  "Is it true?" The voice was so low that it even sounded hoarse, with a  disbelief in the tone that held even more awe.

"It's true!" An Ran nodded repeatedly, smiling, her nose a little soured,  and her eyelids heated. The tears fell so uncontrollably from her eyelids,  but there was no pain, no discomfort, this are tears filled with happiness,  of joy.

Su Yi Cheng raised his head and looked at her, smiling. He pulled out his  hand, lean  over her body, held her face, kissed the tears on her face, and  finally pressed against her red lips. But unlike the passionate ones of the  past, this time Su Yi Cheng only gently pressed against hers, lips on lips,  it seems that he still have a little trouble believing, he whispered while  still on her lips, "An Ran, are we really going to have a child?"

An Ran raised her hand and caresses his hair. The corner of her mouth was  holding a smile that could not be restrained. She nodded gently. "En, the  doctor said that it has been almost 2 months now. We have been so careless  and have not discovered it."

"Yes we have." Su Yi Cheng whispered, holding her for a while before  letting her go, was just about to say something, then noticed her hand, his  brow slightly wrinkled, reaching for her hand, gently stroked her elbow  that was wrapped in white gauze and asked, "What happened?"

"I accidentally fell, but fortunately, I blocked it with my hand. This is  from the impact when I landed." An Ran said faintly, now that she think  about it she felt a little scared. If she had not instinctively try to  catch the car while she fell, and had not used her hand to cushion the  fall, she did not dare think of the consequences of such a hard fall!

Su Yi Cheng grabbed her hand and saw that although the wound was wrapped in  gauze, but the skin next to the elbow had also been rubbed off, lines of  red were visible. Su Yi Cheng tighten his eyebrows, then look up An Ran and  ask gently, "Does it still hurt?"

An Ran shook her head. "I'm not so delicate, it's just some abrasions, it  doesn't hurt." This ended much better than she had thought. As long as the child  is safe, no matter how much it hurts, it is just some external injury, it  doesn't matter at all.

Su Yi Cheng stared at her arm for a while, finally let her go, reached out  and removed the quilt that covered her, and then his eyes stared at her  belly for a moment, and finally leaned down and pressed his ear gently on  her belly, listening carefully, as if he could really hear something, He  didn’t move for a while, then he pressed against her belly with his face  and whispered softly, "You think the baby can feel this?"

"Hahaha..." An Ran giggled with laughter, her face surrounded by a sense of  happiness, and she reached out and tidied his hair. She said with a voice  straining with laughter, "You're such a child, it’s not even two months  yet. The baby’s not even formed yet, how could she feel it?”

Su Yi Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked at her.

An Ran was perturbed by his stare, and asked quizzically, "What's wrong?"

"An Ran, do you think our baby is a boy or a girl?" After looking for a  long time, Su Yi Cheng forced out such a sentence.

An Ran couldn’t help but laugh out loud. They say that the female IQ when  in love is 0. Now from what she has seen, the IQ of a man who’s about to  become a father is not even zero. It’s simply a negative number. Look at Su  Yi Cheng who was, in the past, so sensible and perceptive and can always  look at the problem from the perspective of others and judge everything  correctly. But now look at him, where is that usual savvy self, he is now  like a child, and asking irrelevant* questions. 

Looking at him with a smile, she asked laughing, "Do you want a boy or a  girl?"

"Of course a girl!" Su Yi Cheng quickly answered with almost no  consideration immediately.

Looking at him, An Ran pretended to be angry, said dissatisfied, "Hmph, I  see you are simply thinking of your little lover!"

Su Yi Cheng was stunned, looked at her strangely, and did not respond for a  while, what little lover, where did he come to have a little lover!

An Ran deliberately poked him with her hand, muttered and said, "It is said  all daughters are the fathers' lovers in their past life. You said that  you like to have a daughter, you just want to return to your little  lover!"

Hearing so, Su Yi Cheng laughed loudly, then took her into his arms and  said softly in her ear, "I prefer my little lover's mother."

"Ppppft." An Ran laughed and pushed his shoulder with her hand and said,  "Leader Su, you have very kinky preferences!"

Su Yi Cheng only smiled, and his hand caressed her hair that was not too  long. After a while, he said softly in her ear, "An Ran, thank you!"  Thanking her for being willing to give birth to his child, thanking her for  giving him so many wonderful experiences. He will cherish the happiness  that he has now.

An Ran shook her head, resting quietly in his arms, her hands around his  thin waistline, she should be the one to give thanks. At a time when she  did not have any expectations of marriage, it was him who gave her the most  considerate and true warmth, letting her feel that happiness can be so  simple, it does not need to be full of melodrama and grand plans, plain  and simple is the real happiness.

The two just embraced each other and enjoyed the peace and serenity of this  moment.

When Su Yi Cheng came out of the room again, it was more than an hour  later. An Ran felt a little sleepy. Su Yi Cheng looked at her fall asleep. Then  he got up and went out to buy some food, so that when she wake up she can eat immediately.

When Su Yi Cheng opened the door, Lin Li was preparing to knock and enter  the door. Seeing him come out, Lin Li looked around the room and whispered,  "Is Anzi sleeping?"

Su Yi Cheng nodded, "Just fell asleep."

Lin Li nodded, and raised the porridge and side dishes that had just been  brought from the outside. She pressed her lips and said, "I had wanted her  to rest after eating. It seems that she can only wait until she wakes up."  Then she handed over the things in her hand to Su Yi Cheng, said, "I'll  leave it to you. Wait until Anzi wakes up and put the food in the boiling  water and give it to her."

Su Yi Cheng reached out and looked at her, nodded. "Thank you." It is no  wonder that An Ran regarded her as her best friend. She has noticed what  he, as her husband, had neglected .

"The one to say thanks is me, An Ran has hidden you too well, and I have  never had a chance to meet you. This time I finally did. I really  appreciate your help last time as well as this time, thank you!" Lin Li  said very sincerely, she is really grateful.

Su Yi Cheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal. Besides,  you are a friend of An Ran, and that makes you my friend."

Lin Li looked at him for a while, only to say with some emotion, "Anzi is  lucky to have met you."

"It was my fortune that I met An Ran." Su Yi Cheng said faintly. Pointing  to the bench on the side of the wall, "Sit down let's have a chat."

Lin Li nodded and sat down, said emotionally, "Maybe it has already been  predestined that the trials and hardships both of you had experienced in  the past are there to pave the way for you two to meet later."

"Not only us, everyone is the same." Su Yi Cheng sat down beside her,  saying meaningfully.

Lin Li glanced at him and turned her face away, unwilling to continue the  topic. 

Su Yi Cheng knows that she understands what he means, but for now the wound  is too deep and it is not so easy to heal for now. He didn’t say much about  this topic, just asked, “Can you tell me what happened today?” Why is An  Ran injured? Why did you come over with Zhou Han?

"Actually, there is nothing much to say. In the afternoon, An Ran helped me  pack my things and let me move to the apartment you previously stayed in.  When everything was packed up it was almost 5 o'clock. I am about to go  back to the hospital and An Ran was ready to go home to prepare dinner for  you. We are about to get in the car when suddenly there is a child behind  An Ran calling her. She recognize the child, say hello to him and something  else, but I didn’t expect the child to suddenly reach out and push An Ran  down. Caught by surprise, An Ran was not prepared. After being pushed, she  stepped back a few steps, and then fell to the ground." Lin Li said  truthfully, suddenly with some emotions, "But thank god, everything is  fine."

Su Yi Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked questioning. "Child? What child?"

"It’s that child who was here just now, I simply don’t know how he was  taught, such a big child, and simply pushing people like that.” Lin Li said  angrily. She thought of Zhou Han and couldn’t help but shook her head,  only thinking that someone who only knows to yell and hit  cannot possibly be a good father.

Su Yi Cheng frowned and whispered to himself, "Why were they there?"

"Do they not live there? I saw the child ran out from the building." Lin Li  looked at him puzzled.

Hearing this, Su Yi Cheng turned to look at her, seems to suddenly think of  something, asked, "Was there a woman when you met the child?"

"Woman?" Lin Li frowned and said, "The child was running alone. There was  no woman around, but he was always looking back at something. If you are  asking about a woman, we did meet one when we were waiting for the  elevator, surname Ling, and I can see that she is quite hostile to Anzi!"

Su Yi Cheng nodded coldly, he thinks he now knows why the child suddenly  pushed An Ran.

Suddenly thought of something, Lin Li, who was sitting on the side, said,  "Oh yes oh yes, I remembered it now. When the man asked the child, the  child said that his mother wanted him to do this!" Li couldn't help but  shake her head. "Oh my god, how can there be such parents, to teach the child to do this!"

Hearing this, Su Yi Cheng affirmed his own conclusions, the one who got a  child to push An Ran can be no other, it must be Ling Ran! She is really  becoming more and more of a stranger to him!
