First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 122 Translation

 Previous Chapter


122 Seems to love you more than I thought.

Qin Yun entered the door, saw An Ran sitting on the sofa in a daze, and  understood that Ling Ran must have said something to her just now. 

Placing the thermal container in her hand on the short stool, and seeing  the ashes and cigarette butt in the fruit bowl, she frowned, it must have  been left by that Ling family's lass. Moving the fruit bowl aside, she  called out,"An Ran."

An Ran paused for quite a while and was finally back to her senses, looking  at Qin Yun, she dryly pouted, said,"Mom, you're here."

Qin Yun smiled at her, took the thermal container from the stool to her,  then pull her up, "Go, go back to the room first. There's too much smoke  here and it is bad for the child."

An Ran nodded and took the thermal container back to the bedroom.

After An Ran left for the bedroom, Qin Yun immediately opened the windows  of the whole house, cleaned the ashes on the ground, and the cigarette  butts, cleaned the fruit bowl several times, and even cleaned the entire  living room. Only after she is satisfied with the cleaning then Qin Yun  knocked on the door of the bedroom to find An Ran.

After knocking and entered the room only to see An Ran sitting on the bed,  the thermal container still held in her hands, looking exactly as she was  while in the living room just now. 

Qin Yun shook her head and took the thermal container from her hands,  lightly laughing and said,"I did not come all this way to deliver this just  to have you hug it for warmth."

After saying so the thermal container was taken outside, in no time at all  a bowl full of still steaming chicken soup was brought in and placed in  front of An Ran,"Come, come, quickly finish up the chicken soup, this is  something I have been boiling for the whole day yesterday, you must finish  it."

An Ran chuckled, took it over, said to Qin Yun, "Thank you mom." Then she  placed it on her lips and started to sip the soup.

Qin Yun sat down beside her and looked at An Ran with a smile. "Is there  any discomfort, do you want to talk to mom about it?"

The action of drinking paused for a bit but An Ran did not turned to look  at Qin Yun, because she did not know how to begin. 

Seeing her not talking, Qin Yun also did not probe further, only saying with  a smile," It's alright, if you don't want to say it it's fine, but if there's  really something going on also don't always keep it inside, if you don't  want to tell mom then go find your friends to let it out, always keeping it  in your heart will not be good for you or the child, understand?"

An Ran knew that she had misunderstood, but she did not explain it. She  just nodded faintly and bowed her head to drink the soup.

Qin Yun looked at An Ran and remembered how Ling Ran had looked just now  when she left. She couldn’t help but started to scold Su Yi Cheng in her  heart. She thought that he had already ended the matter with Ling Ran. Who  would have thought that Ling Ran has even come in person to stir things up!

An Ran’s personality is too good and too docile, even when she speaks the  words are in whispers. She had watched that Ling's family lass grew up from  she was still young, although she looks to be soft and delicate but  inwardly she has a streak of maliciousness in her, she's also full of  tricks and ill motives, otherwise after the big hoohaa that happened in the  past, how would anyone dare to come back. Maybe she had better speak to the  old Ling family elder, right now An Ran is pregnant and is in an especially  sensitive period, that lass better not create some kind of irreversible  chaos and stir things up. 

An Ran finished the sumptuous bowl of chicken soup that Qin Yun had  prepared and had just gotten up and wanted to take the bowl out. The bowl   was taken by Qin Yun.

"Give it to me." Qin Yun took the bowl with a chuckle and reached out and  caressed An Ran's hair, saying, "Are you tired? If you are then sleep for a  while, pregnant women should pay more attention to their rest."

Actually, An Ran was not sleepy, but she really felt tired, she just  nodded, "En."

Only after waiting for An Ran to lie down did Qin Yun turned and went out. She  looked at the time and took the mobile phone and called Su Yi Cheng  directly. The phone rang for a while before being picked up. Without  waiting for Su Yi Cheng to speak she immediately started a barrage of  scoldings,"Su Yi Cheng, just what have you been doing this whole time,  everyday only knowing to work and work, you can't even protect your wife  and child,  people are even coming straight to your doorsteps trying to  create trouble now. Just what does that Ling Ran want? So wishy washy, is  this how your father and I have taught you?!"

Su Yi Cheng on the other side of the phone was confused. He didn't know  what she was talking about. He didn't know what had happen at all! "Mom,  what are you talking about, what happened to Ling Ran?" What coming to the  doorsteps? what wishy-washy? how come he does not understand a word she's  saying?!

"What is going on between you and Ling Ran?" Qin Yun interrogated, the tone  completely defending An Ran's interests.

"What does Ling Ran have to do with anything?!" Su Yi Cheng frowned.

"Today I came to your place to deliver soup to An Ran, I had just exited  the elevator and saw her outside the elevator door, when I was at your  apartment the door was not locked and I saw An Ran sitting on the sofa in a  daze, when I ask her if Ling Ran had said anything to her she only shake  her head and did not answer."  Qin Yun said truthfully.

Su Yi Cheng on the other side of the phone frowned, silent for a moment,  only asked, "And An Ran now?"

"Asleep, but evidently unhappy." Qin Yun said with some concern, "Ah Cheng,  you must understand clearly your position now, Right now you have a wife  and not long after you are also going to become a father soon. I can see  that you like An Ran very much, don't give others a chance to misunderstand  that they still have hope." Qin Yun stopped at that, she knows he  understands the point she is trying to make. 

Su Yi Cheng was silent on the phone. After a while, he nodded faintly and  replied, "I know, Mom, help me look after An Ran first. That girl tends to  thinks too much. I will be back after finishing up here."

"En." Qin Yun nodded, even if he did not say, she had also wanted to stay  and waited for him to come back, it's her own dear daughter-in-law, of  course she must be pampered and cherished by her.

An Ran didn't know how long she slept. Actually, she didn't have much  sleepiness at first. She just lay down but her eyelids keep getting heavier  and she didn't even know how long she fell asleep for. Turned around, looking  at the alarm clock placed on the bedside table, it was almost 6 o'clock,  she remembered that when she lay down, it was only 3 o'clock, she did not  expect to sleep for more than three hours.

Closing her eyes and laying down on the bed for a while. When she was  completely awake she got out of bed. She freshen herself up in the bathroom  of the bedroom then went out. She only heard Su Yi Cheng and Qin Yun saying something outside but when they saw her, they immediately change the  topic and did not say more.

"An Ran, you're awake." Qin Yun looked at her and said with a smile.

An Ran fussed with her hair, a little embarrassed saying, "I seemed to have  overslept."

Su Yi Cheng stood up, looked at her and went to her. He reached out and  parted her bangs. He asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

An Ran shook her head. "Not yet." Actually how can she get hungry so  easily, there's been completely no exercise, after eating it's sleeping, without  any exercise at all how can she get hungry so easily?

Seeing them like this, Qin Yun looked at the time. It was indeed late now.  In addition, she feel that the couple should have a good chat. She stood  up, said,"Alright, it's getting late now, just now your father even called  to ask me where I am."

"Have dinner first before going." An Ran said a little embarrassed, Qin Yun  rarely come for a visit, originally she should have accompanied her and  have a good chat with her, but she actually slept till so late. 

"No need to, auntie had already cooked my share at the compound, I will  have things to eat once I reached.." Qin Yun said with a chuckle, coming  over to them.

"Mom, let me send you back." Su Yi Cheng said.

"No need to, if you have extra time on your hands spend more time with An  Ran, the serviceman send me over, I reckon he must be waiting downstairs  with nothing to do." Qin Yun said, pulling An Ran's hand and placing her  own over them, said, "An Ran, if Ah Cheng dares to bully you, come find me  I'll stand on your side, if not then look for father Su or Grandpa Su, let  them punish him like they do their soldiers."

An Ran laughed and nodded. "Thank you mom."

"Silly." Qin Yun patted her hand, and then let go, and said, "Well, I will  go back now. Eat the food when you are hungry later."

"En en." An Ran nodded. Su Yi Cheng and her sent Qin Yun to the door. When  they wanted to send her down, they were refused by Qin Yun. She gave Su Yi  Cheng a weird look before leaving, seemingly implying something.

With Qin Yun gone, there were only the two in the house, Su Yi Cheng and An  Ran.

Su Yi Cheng looked at her, stretched out and pinched her nose, and asked,  "Mom said that Ling Ran came over in the afternoon?"

An Ran looked at him and remembered what Ling Ran said earlier in the  afternoon.

Seeing her without words, Su Yi Cheng took her to sit down on the sofa in  the living room, holding her and letting her lean in his arms. He said  softly, "I don't know what Ling Ran has said to you, but An Ran, do you  believe in me?"

An Ran nodded, she believed in him, even if they didn't understand each other  from the beginning, she had never doubted him.

Su Yi Cheng chuckled, bowing and playing with her little hand. She has a  very beautiful pair of hands. The fingers are very slender and long. It  looks very suitable for playing the piano. It is absolutely impossible to  see that she is actually into designing, and it is still architectural  design at that. Scratching her palm and asking with a smile, "You believe  in me yet you are being influenced by others, eh?"

The palm of the hand was scratched and started to get ticklish, she dodged it and said, "I didn't." Apparently feeling a guilty conscience, the sound of her voice was so light even she can not hear it.

"You ah, your mood is written all over your face." Su Yi Cheng leaned  against her ear and lightly bite her ear. "You scared mom being like this,  and she even called me to give me a scolding."

"Ah!!" An Ran was surprised and turned to look at him. "I didn't know!"

"En en, I know you don't know, because you were asleep then." Su Yi Cheng  nodded, his forehead against hers, "Tell me, what did Ling Ran say to you?"

An Ran looked at the handsome face in front of her. He is really  outstanding, so it’s no wonder that Ling Ran would want to snatch him back  in such a manner. She remembered the words she said in the afternoon, and  also the confusion she felt within her then. Actually, it is not  being  worried about not trusting him, it is because she cares, that is why there  was fear. 

Cupping her hand slowly over his face, her fingers tracing his profile  outline, and then gently speaking. "Has work been very busy recently? Is  there anything not going well?"

Su Yi Cheng let her feel and touched as she pleased, nodded and said,  "Busy, but nothing has been not going well."

An Ran laughed and said, "In the afternoon, Ling Ran came to make a deal  with me. As long as I am willing to abort the child, she will let you off."  In fact, she hadn't want to hide it. After all, it is related to him. No  matter if what Ling Ran said is true or not, she is going to tell him in  order to let him take the necessary precautions.

Hearing this, Su Yi Cheng’s face sank and turned sullen, his eyes flashed  across a hint of violent temper and icy cold gaze, he let go of her, and  said coldly, “Who does she think she is?” Completely gone is the warm and  elegant person from before, he seems a completely different person. An Ran  has never seen such a change in him like this.

Looking at him fixedly, An Ran knew that his anger was pointed towards Ling  Ran, but she didn't like him like this. She reached and cover his face and  massaged his slightly stiffened facial muscles. Her small hands softly  kneading, seemingly wanting to mold him back to the original Su Yi Cheng.

Su Yi Cheng then realized he lost his composure, looked at her  apologetically, pulled her hand and kissed it cautiously, like treating a  precious baby, then whispered, "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

An Ran shook her head. "No, I just don't like it."

Re-incorporating her into his arms, gently stroking her back, then softly  asked in her ear, "You promised her?"

An Ran shook her head while in his arms and said, "No, how can I not want  our baby, and our marriage is not a bet or a commodity, how can I trade  it?"

Su Yi Cheng held her tightly and he couldn't help but tightened the hug.  He himself am not aware but at the moment, his mouth was hung with a nice  smile.

An Ran continued, "Unless you tell me yourself that you don't want me  anymore, and want to end this marriage with me, otherwise I will never  exchange our marriage for anything, no matter what is traded."

"I will never!" Su Yi Cheng violently let her go, looking at her fixedly,  seeming guaranteeing her, "I won't, I will never ever!"

An Ran looked at him, looking very serious, then smiled and responded  softly to him, "Neither will I."

Su Yi Cheng looked at her smiling lips, and in a heartbeat, bowed his head  and kissed it. It was a very hard kiss. There was no gentleness like in the  past. His tongue directly slip into her lips without waiting for her  reaction, he immediately started a dance with hers.

Although An Ran’s reaction was slower by half a beat, although she was  slightly pained by his slightly brutish behavior tonight, she did not push  him away and did not protest. Instead, she directly raised her wrist to  hook his neck so as to let the two better able to hug and form a tighter  fit.

Su Yi Cheng seems to be encouraged by this, the kiss becomes more heated,  and the passion seems to be about to drown the two.

"Hmmmmm--" An Ran moaned, she was kissed till she is getting a little  breathless, and her lips seemed to be kissed swollen by someone, and it was  burning with a slight aching pain.

Seemingly to have been suppressed for a long time, once this kind of  passion is unleashed, it becomes a little difficult to control. Obviously a  sensible person but tonight's Su Yi Cheng has turned into a kind of crazy  person.

The kiss slowly changed favor, it left the lips and ventured slowly  downwards, the hands originally holding her tightly also started to get a  little naughty, the big palms starting to roam back and forth on her body,  every little touch drawing a gasp from the two persons. 

Not sure who was the first to remove whose clothes, by the time the two  realized the two were almost completely naked, the two were immersed in  each others' eyes, in the quiet living room, on that crowded sofa, the  two's breathing were rough. 

His kisses started getting lower and lower, everywhere it touches sets a  blazing fire on her, An Ran was finding it difficult and could not find a  way to describe how she was feeling now. She wants to push him away yet  cannot help but pull him in tighter, there was an emptiness in her yet she  does not know where that feeling comes from. 

"Ran Ran--" Su Yi Cheng’s voice was hoarse and almost inaudible, he half- bowed his body so that his weight would not be pressed against her. He  buried his head in front of her chest, holding the heavy breath, the hoarse  voice came from An Ran's chest. "I miss you! I miss you--" 

An Ran’s heart trembled, and reason began to resurface at this moment, a  little at a time. The eyes that had been clouded gradually began to become  clear. He missed her, she also missed him, and also missed the feeling of  being tightly hugged by him, missing the feeling of feeling him inside her  and the synchronized motions of the two bodies moving together, but--

"Yi Cheng--" The hand slowly moved up, grabbing his head, the slender  fingers in his hair, "Yi Cheng--"

Only hearing Su Yi Cheng buried into her chest and sigh aloud, then stopped  all his movements, just holding her, holding her tightly, it seems that  this can ease the pain in his body.

The whole room was quiet except for their heaving breathes. She was  slightly heaving, her chest rising up and down, his was heavy, and it  seemed that every breath was trying to suppress his desire and impulse!

An Ran’s distressed hand caressed his head, seemingly comforting, seemingly  empathizing.

After a while, the two calmed down from the passion, and Su Yi Cheng let go  of her and help her put her clothes back on.

An Ran with a shy red face, turn her head over, lowered her eyes, not  looking at him. When she finished putting her clothes on, Su Yi Cheng held  her gently in his arms again, his hands across her waist, his big palms  covered her belly, whispering softly in her ear, "Baby, be good, grow up  quickly."

An Ran was amused by his childish actions, but did not refute him. She just  relaxed and let herself lean into his arms, and she was completely supported  by him. Then said softly. "Ling Ran said that if I promised to let go,  abort the child and divorce you, she will be able to help you. If I don't  agree, then someone will come to check on you, no matter whether you have  done it or not. if they want to investigate they will definitely have  enough reason to pull you down."

Su Yi Cheng sneered, "Jiang City is not the property of the Ling family."  In fact, Ling Chuanjiang also talked to him before, it seems that he had  intentions of drawing him into his circle of influence. He had not  responded, and then it seems that some things have changed. Maybe him being  in this position has already blocked the interests of someone. It is not  difficult to detect that recently, Ling Chuanjiang’s attitude towards him  implies that he is going to act soon. But if they have the means to act, is  he someone that lets people do to him as they pleased?

Bowing his head and crossed her body. The eyes fixedly looked at her and  asked, "Don't you believe me?" Does she not believe that he can protect  her?

An Ran looked at him and shook her head and said, "No, not that I don't  believe, I'm just scared."

Su Yi Cheng looked at her, not understanding the meaning in her words.

An Ran explained, "I believe in your ability, but I still feel afraid in my  heart. I don't know the officialdom circle. I completely don't know how the  operation and interests in this circle works. I just have a feeling of  being very weak and confused. I know that maybe you are in danger. I know  that someone wants to harm you, but I can only stand by and do not know  what to do, and maybe even become a hindrance to you."

Su Yi Cheng lightly sighed, reached out and held her face, and looked at  her seriously and said, "An Ran, even if they want to frame me, set me up,  but believe me that I can face all of this, everything will be fine!"

An Ran nodded, but her expression was one of helplessness. "I know, I know  that you can handle it well, but there are still some uncontrollable fears  in my heart. I don't know the source of this inexplicable fear. I don't  know why it is like this." In the afternoon, when Ling Ran said those  things, although she knew that he was not the kind of soft person that  could be framed by anyone, but she couldn’t help but worry and being afraid, but  if you really want her to say what she is really worried about, she also  has no idea what she is worried or afraid of. 

"Silly." Su Yi Cheng chuckled, re-incorporating her into his arms, gently  stroking her back. "Don't think about it, just stand by my side, no matter  what happens, stand firmly beside me, don't walk away, understand?"

"En en." Being here in his arms, An Ran nodded firmly, and reached back and  hugged him. "I will not not want our child, even more so not want our  marriage."

Su Yi Cheng chuckled, hugging her tighter, just those was enough, if she  was determined enough to remain by his side, then he had enough confidence  and motivation to get rid of all the obstacles in front of them and give  her and the baby the greatest happiness.

The two of them embraced each other like this for a while, at last Su Yi  Cheng let her go, touched her face, and gently asked, "Accompany me to eat  alright? I had a long day and I'm so hungry."

An Ran chuckled and nodded. When he got up, she gently got close to his  ear, hugged his neck, and whispered to him, saying, "I seem to love you  much more than I thought!" Because of the deep love, every tiny little  thing matters, so there will be groundless worries and fears without source.

Su Yi Cheng was stunned, and still did not respond when that person had  already let go of him, lightly stepping toward the kitchen, turned back and  looked at him with a smile, "You go wash your hands, I will heat up the  food."

Su Yi Cheng also smile and nodded at her. The smile on his face was great,  and it is one filled with  happiness and satisfaction.
