131. Tough Mother-in-law



“If I said my child is gone, and it’s because of you, would you still feel that my hatred for you is inexplicable?” Tong Xiao Jie questioned her. As she looked at An Ran her expression became distorted, hideous.

An Ran was slightly taken aback, and only then knew that her abnormal state was because of her miscarriage. Only, she said that it was because of her that she didn’t have a child anymore, my goodness, doesn’t that make her look like such a great bully, so that was why everyone was blaming her!

“Do you know what it feels like, to hear your husband call out the name of another woman while he is holding you?” Tong Xiao Jie looked at her, and continued to ask, “Do you know what it feels like to do so much, try so hard, waste six years yet you can’t even get close to that man’s heart, do you know that kind of despair? Do you know?”

At the side, Auntie Zhang stood there blankly watching the scene before her, unable to come up with a reaction to this situation.

An Ran looked at her, and had an indifferent expression. She coldly said, “I don’t know. You think my husband wouldn’t hold me and call out another woman’s name, and wouldn’t let me into his heart.”

Tong Xiao Jie looked at her resentfully, nearly gnashing her teeth with anger, “Are you flaunting your happiness with me!”

“Not flaunting, it’s fact. Yi Cheng treats me extremely well.”

Not all men are like that. Even when she was in the honeymoon phase with Mo Fei, he would never even achieve a third of Yi Cheng.

The resentment on her face was so strong it looked like it could eat a person, she had a blank expression and said, “Since you clearly know everything, yet still chose him, then you should have expected this outcome. You made your choice, you pay for it, you can’t blame others.”

Tong Xiao Jie sneered, “Right, what you said is right. I deserved it, all of this is my fault.”

An Ran doesn’t speak, and just looked at her. If everything she had said were true, then she really did ask for it. She’s just blaming others, isn’t that right?

“Don’t you want to ask me how I lost my child?” Tong Xiao Jie looked at her and sneered.

An Ran shook her head, “Not interested.”

“But I want to tell you.” Tong Xiao Jie looked at her and said, “What did you tell Mo Fei last time? He then went after me and we got into a huge argument, if we didn’t fight, I wouldn’t have slipped and fall!”

An Ran frowned, and worked hard to think back. She does not remember ever going out to look for Mo Fei and talking to him…

Wait, she seemed to recall something. There was that one time when she really did run into Mo Fei at the restaurant, and questioned him about the blueprints.

“What, you remember now?” Tong Xiao Jie looked at her coldly.

An Ran raised her head. She really felt that it was funny, these Tong family people really think they are that self-righteous? Tong Wen Hai was that black-and-white, please! She doesn’t want to get involved in his daughter’s marriage, and furthermore with his daughter Tong Xiao Jie, with her own mistake and carelessness pushed it all onto her shoulders!

An Ran takes a deep breath, and only felt furious. She looked at her and was about to say something, but was interrupted by someone else.

“What’s wrong with this woman, you were careless yet you want to put the blame and fault onto someone else, are you out of your mind?”

Qin Yun, unknown as to when she had returned, but it was clear that she had heard what went on. She entered from outside, and looked at Tong Xiao Jie full of disdain.

“Mom.” An Ran was surprised to see Qin Yun.

Qin Yun looked at her and smiled, and waved her hand to her.

Tong Xiao Jie was also surprised to see Qin Yun. She looked at her, and with an agitated voice, asked, “Who are you!”

She turned to look at Tong Xiao Jie and said, “Why do you want to know who I am. I said are you out of your mind, going to someone’s room and making a scene, you think my Su household are nobodies? Is my daughter-in-law someone you can bully as you please?”

“You!” Tong Xiao Jie stared at her. Against Qin Yun, she did seem to be holding back.

“I what? I have never seen such a stupid person before. You obviously chose a person who couldn’t love and married him, you are either a fool or stupid. Happiness is something you create, you don’t know how to value things, who would be able to reason with you!” Qin Yun spoke with disdain, “Your marriage had a problem, yet you say the problem is because of another person. I can see that it is not your stupidness that is the problem, it’s that you don’t have a brain, or shall I say that your head had been kicked by a donkey. It doesn’t matter if you have a brain or not, but don’t be a jerk. Since you have the time to look for people and cause a scene, why don’t you find that man and divorce him? This will give you the upper hand, then at night he will hold and think about another woman, this kind of man, you still think he would give you happiness?”

“I….” Tong Xiao Jie was rendered speechless by her. She looked at Qin Yun, and closed her lips tightly. Her pair of hands also balled up. She glared at her, and her formerly sickly-pale face was swelled up with red. She stared at Qin Yun for a half a day, then choked out a sentence, “My business is none of your business, who do you think you are, why do you think you can criticize me!”

“Chie.” Qin Yun scoffed, “Obviously I have no time to criticize you, who do you think you are to me. I have a lot of stuff to do, I have to take good care of my daughter in law, and take good care of my grandson in her belly, isn’t it you who is without tact, randomly coming to cause a scene, do you think I have the time to watch you. I am disinclined to do so. Whether you want to listen to me or not is up to you, if you don’t want to listen to me then what can we do, but please from now on don’t look for trouble, your words just now were not pleasant to hear. Towards a person like you, even more hateful.” Qin Yun glared at her, not caring if her expression looked dignified or unsightly. She just turned her head, and gives An Ran a gentle smile, “Ran ran, let’s go, the procedures are already done.”

An Ran nodded. She thought about what she had just said, and couldn’t help but smile.

Qin Yun directs her attention towards the Auntie Zhang who stood blankly at the side, “Sister Zhang, let’s carry these things and go. Xiao Zhang has been waiting for quite a while downstairs.”

Auntie Zhang quickly returned to her senses, and stammered, “Hey hey, okay okay.”

Qin Yun pulled on An Ran’s hand and walked towards the hospital entrance, then bumped into Tong Xiao Jie’s mother, Ms. Tong.

“Xiao Jie.” Mrs. Tong saw her daughter standing inside the ward, and bit her lips. She glared at An Ran and Qin Yun, and indiscriminately yells at them, “You guys stay right there!” As she said that she took large strides and walked over to face An Ran and them, her voice agitated, “What did you do to my Xiao Jie!” Her finger nearly hit An Ran.

Qin Yun frowned, and pulled An Ran so that she stood behind her, blocking her. With some contempt towards Mrs. Tong, she said, “You have no manners or morals, can you not speak nicely, blowing up like this, what do you want to do!”

“What do I want to do, I actually want to ask you what YOU want to do, what did you do to my daughter.” She spoke sharply as she pointed at Tong Xiao Jie.

Qin Yun turned to glance at Tong Xiao Jie, and pretended to realize, “Oh so she’s your daughter ah! Really, there is such a saying, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, this kind of mother would bring up that kind of daughter.”

“You, what do you mean!” Mrs. Tong looked at her, her two eyes were burning with anger.

Qin Yun looked down at her, and mocked, “What do I mean, just look at yourselves and you’ll know what I mean.”

“You!—” Mrs. Tong could not bear it anymore, but she couldn’t speak against her, she could only stare at her.

“I what, what? I have no effort to speak nonsense with you, this is just wasting strength, what kind of family is this ah.” As she said that, she doesn’t even look at them, and just turned her head, once again pulling on An Ran’s hand, she said, “Let’s go, let’s go.” And they straightly left the ward.

“Really, there are all kinds of people, displaying such atrocious behaviour in front of everyone, heng, even against our Su family!” Even as they left the hospital, Qin Yun was still speaking bitterly. She had just finished the hospital discharge. She didn’t know if it had something to do with the time, but the lineup was not long, so she did not have to wait too long. When she returned to the ward she happened to see someone inside, and thought that it was a friend of An Ran’s. She was about to enter, when she heard that woman resentfully questioning An Ran, and even said that she hated An Ran. Once she heard that she wasn’t in a rush to go in, and listened a little more to get to the bottom of the matter, so she stood outside the door for a while. Only, she didn’t expect the more she listened the more nonsensical it was, what kind of person is this ah, she snatched the person yet still had the face to interrogate, isn’t this putting on a face while acting innocent!

An Ran had a smile on her face. She wasn’t fazed at all by Tong Xiao Jie’s insinuation, on the contrary, she was actually secretly delighted, and held tightly onto Qin Yun’s hand. Then she slowly stopped her steps.

Seeing that she wasn’t walking anymore Qin Yun turned her head, looked at her, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

An Ran shook her head, and looked at her earnestly, “Mom, thank you!”

Qin Yun was immediately stunned, and pouts at her, “Thought you were going to say something else.” She pulled her forward, “Is my Su family daughter in law someone anyone can bully, really the audacity!”

An Ran couldn’t help but laugh, even Auntie Zhang beside her started to laugh.

She knew that Su Yi Cheng was on a business trip and will only return tomorrow. Originally she intended for An Ran to come with her to the compound, that way she could attend to her more conveniently, but she was gracefully turned down by An Ran. She knew that as soon as Su Yi Cheng got back he would come get her, and she does not want to make it that hard for him, because the thought of being a burden, since she couldn’t help with work, then she would not create any unnecessary troubles for him, and wait for him at an easy place to find, so that he can see her as soon as he gets home, rather than making him move around.

Qin Yun was someone experienced, so how can she not understand where she came from. Moreover, he was her son, as a mother she also felt some heartache. And it wasn’t like there wasn’t anyone taking care of her, being there these past few days, she could see that this Auntie Zhang was not too bad, An Ran had let her take care of her, and she didn’t seem too worried about it, thus she didn’t continue to insist. She could only remind Auntie Zhang to take good care of An Ran, and did not stay in the apartment for too long, and returned to the compound.

Unlike the others, An Ran was now 2 months pregnant, and until date found out that her pregnancy symptoms were not too bad, only feeling nauseous when she brushed her teeth, other than that it was not too bad. However recently she was obviously fond of sleeping. She went to bed early at night, then gets up late in the morning, yet she still needs to have two more hours of sleep every day.

After Qin Yun left, An Ran went to lie down for a bit, and fell asleep. When she woke up it was almost 5 o’clock. She was in a little bit of a mood as she came out of the room. In order to match her rise and rest, Auntie Zhang happened to finish making dinner. She saw her come out, and slowly asked, “Madam is up, are you hungry, I still have the chicken soup that mother-in-law brought, if you want I can heat it up for you to drink.”

An Ran shook her head. Eating then sleeping then eating again, she’s about to become a pig! She remembered that the doctor said that if she felt fine she could go and take a walk to exercise, so she wanted to go down to take a stroll. She wanted to do so, so she turned to Auntie Zhang and said, “I’m gonna go take a walk downstairs.”

“Uh, why don’t I come with you then.” Qin Yun had made it clear, and Su Yi Cheng also made it clear, that she should take good care of An Ran. Seeing how much the Su family treasured her, she does not dare to have any mishaps happen to her.

“It’s okay Auntie Zhang, I’m just going around the neighbourhood. Besides, I’m not close to giving birth, no need to be so worried.” Su Yi Cheng was anxious, Lin Xiao Fen was anxious, Qin Yun was also anxious, even she was getting close to being neurotic. It wasn’t even that big of a deal, they exaggerated the issue.

Auntie Zhang also thought so. Back in the countryside women weren’t so fragile, they even went to work when they were 7 months pregnant, and were still healthy after giving birth. Nowadays people live too well, thus they are pampered. Thinking along those lines, she nodded, and said, “Then you can first take a walk, I will make dinner. After you come back for your walk you'll have dinner ready.”

An Ran nodded, grabbed her coat and headed downstairs.

The apartment was located downtown, and the block was surrounded with office buildings. Although the apartment was located in a good area, but right now the land is scarce, so there aren't a lot of greeneries in the area. As a result, An Ran walked out of the neighbourhood.

At first An Ran simply wanted to walk around, and estimated that half an hour was a good enough time to exercise. Then she walked straight home, but she didn’t expect to run into Xiao Xiao. After she thought about it, she then realized, right, this route was on the way to Jing Cheng. If she continued down the street, and turned the next corner, she would reach Jing Ching’s office.

An Ran wasn’t the kind of person who liked drama and gossip. She saw her surrounded by a group, looking at something. Amongst the cheerful laughter she could hear a woman yelling, a younger person in their arms. An Ran knew that she should be avoiding large crowds, so she turned around to leave. Only, when she was about to cross the street, she could see a black Audi turn a corner and suddenly stop in front of the crowd. Then An Ran saw Huang De Xing emerge from the car, with a serious expression. He angrily pushed the crowd aside and pushed his way in, and everyone who turned to look at him knew that he was one of the party, so one by one they gave him way. An Ran then saw that inside the crowd were two women wrestling each other. A slightly larger woman in her forties and a thinner woman in her 20s, the woman in her 20s was none other than Xiao Xiao! An Ran also recognized the woman in her forties, it was Huang De Xing’s wife. During the company’s annual meetings Huang De Xing had brought her along to attend, and An Ran had always offered her wine.

However, from An Ran’s perspective, Xiao Xiao seemed to be strongly holding herself up but could not win against the madam, as Mrs. Haung was cursing her and calling Xiao Xiao a mistress who stole her husband, while grabbing on to Xiao Xiao’s hair with one hand, and the other hand was holding onto a bag that was used to hit Xiao Xiao. This wasn’t enough to vent her anger, as from time to time she had used her leg to kick Xiao Xiao on the thighs. Xiao Xiao used her arms to cover her head, not resisting, and a huge rip was present on her clothes, exposing her sexy black underwear. She could only use her mouth to scream at her calling her a mad woman, and the people surrounding them were only watching, not even stepping forward to separate the women.

Huang De Xing angrily stepped forward, grabbed onto Mrs. Huang, and just walked over to the car. Mrs. Huang was not willing, and shook him off wanting to go back to attacking Xiao Xiao. She swore, “Heng, I want to beat this slut to death, how dare she tempt my husband, vixen!”

“Enough. You are not done, causing a scene like this in front of my company, how could I look at people!” Huang De Xing roared at her.

“Heng, you are afraid of losing face, playing with women at your own company!” Mrs. Huang yelled back at him.

As the two were quarreling, Xiao Xiao who had been taking the attacks started to get up, and glared at Mrs. Huang and was about to strike back, yet was seen by Huang De Xing, and pulled his wife to the side, put himself forward, and raised his hand, “Slap!—” a hard slap hit Xiao Xiao’s face, the strength was large enough to make Xiao Xiao drop again. He looked at Xiao Xiao ruthlessly, and sternly said, “Don’t come to work tomorrow!”

After he spoke, he did not look at Xiao Xiao in the eyes, and turned to pull Mrs. Huang into the car. Mrs. Huang on the other hand did not resist, and followed him. Only, the instant that they were about to leave she turned around, and did not forget to kick Xiao Xiao’s legs, cursed at her, “Slut, next time don’t let me see you!”

The crowd of people seemed like they had watched a farce, after watching, signed, then turned to leave. No one stepped forward to help Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao was just on the ground like that, her face was swollen red, her clothes were also torn, even her sexy underwear was rolled up. She had tears in her eyes, and blankly looked ahead, without focus in her eyes, and without expression on her face.

The crowd gradually scattered, no one took pity on the mistress, no one would help a bad woman who broke up a happy family, even if she looked pitiful, but at the same one no one thought she deserved sympathy.

An Ran slowly stepped forward. As she looked at Xiao Xiao’s appearance she couldn’t describe her feelings, how much of it was pity. She took off her thin coat, and covered her, then helped her up.

After An Ran helped her up, Xiao Xiao then slowly returned to her senses, and looked at An Ran who was beside her. She was taken a back for a while, then suddenly broke down and cried.

Having seen her like that, An Ran sighed, and shook her head. She couldn’t go anywhere else like this, and An Ran couldn’t bear to abandon her here like that. She wasn’t the Virgin Mary, as she had once hated her for setting her up, especially when her blueprint had been torn up, she truly hated her to death. But seeing her like this now, she still felt compassion. Thus, she helped her make her way to her own home.

When Auntie Zhang saw An Ran return with an injured person, a woman whose entire clothes was battered up, she couldn’t help but cry out, “My goodness, what happened?” As she said that she quickly stepped forward and assisted An Ran in helping the person inside.

She settled the person down on the sofa, Auntie Zhang then turned to go pour her some tea. An Ran went into her room and grabbed her own clothes, and was about to give it to her so she could change into them.

When she appeared again Xiao Xiao was still sitting in the same position on the sofa, her expression blank and apathetic. She sighed and handed over the clothes, and softly said, “Go change your clothes.”

After a while, Xiao Xiao then responded. She raised her head and looked at her, asked, “Why… Help me?” She always thought that she had hated her, but for some reason under these circumstances, it was her who was willing to help her.

An Ran placed the clothes in her hands, and just said, “What about it, we are acquainted with each other.” She couldn’t possibly ignore her, of course, all she could do was this, helping her up, letting her change into clean clothes, at least making her look less messy.

Xiao Xiao doesn’t speak again and accepts the clothes. She looked at her.

An Ran pointed at a direction, and said, “The bathroom is over here.”

Xiao Xiao then got up, and headed to the bathroom.

While Xiao Xiao was in the bathroom changing, Auntie Zhang carried a hot cup of ginger tea over, looked at An Ran, and couldn’t help but be curious and asked, “Madam, what’s going on ah, why was that child such a mess, as if she had been beaten up by someone?”

An Ran looked at her, and shook her head, only said, “Don’t ask.”

Since she said that, Auntie Zhang doesn’t probe any further, and just said that she still had things to do in the kitchen, then went straight back into the kitchen.

When Xiao Xiao appeared from the washroom she was already changed, and freshened herself up a little bit. Her cheek was still swollen, and she had some bruising on the corner of her lip, even her arms had some scratches, her legs looked like it had been hurt by Mrs. Huang, as she was limping as she walked.

An Ran looked at her, and let her come over. She pointed at the ointment that she had just found, and said, “Use it.”

Xiao Xiao nodded, and doesn’t say much, just sat down on the sofa, then took the ointment and rubbed the ointment on her cuts.

An Ran doesn’t ask, doesn’t say much else, and just calmly looked at her.

After a while, after she put a layer of ointment on her wound, Xiao Xiao then looked at her, her expression earnest as she said, “Thank you.”

An Ran nodded, looked at her appearance, and ultimately still asked, “Do you want to stay and have dinner.”

Xiao Xiao looked at her, and seemed to be moved. She nibbled her lips, and asked, “Don’t you hate me?”

130 Uninvited Guest

Sending Lin Xiaofen and Gu Hengwen down, Lin Xiaofen kept crying in the arms of Gu Hengwen, Su Yi Cheng looked at her, a little worried.

Gu Hengwen kept patting Lin Xiaofen's back and said softly in her ear.  "It's alright, it's alright now, everything's okay, everything's okay."

Sending them to the hospital lobby, Gu Hengwen embraced Lin Xiaofen and  said, "Alright, Ah Cheng, no need to send us further, go up and accompany  An Ran."

Su Yi Cheng looked at Lin Xiaofen in his arms, his brows twitched slightly,  and he was slightly worried. "Mom, is she..."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, go on up," said Gu Hengwen with Lin Xiaofen in his arms.

Su Yi Cheng did not insist, nodded, watching him as he held onto Lin Xiaofen and walked out of the inpatient building, Su Yi Cheng then turned  and re-entered the elevator and proceeded upstairs.

When he got back to the ward, An Ran was on the phone. It was from Lin Li.  She was smiling widely while talking on the phone. She looked much better  now and didn’t have the gloom she had after taking the call in the morning.

Seeing him back, she smiled at him, and then said to Lin Li on the other  side of the phone, "It's fine, if you are busy, you don't have to come  over.. Everything's fine with me anyways, don't worry... Okay~, I know, you go get busy first, don't forget to rest, pay attention to your body."

Lin Li seemed to say something on the phone, making An Ran laughed out  loud, reached out and stroked her stomach, looked down and then looked up  at Su Yi Cheng standing in front of her bed. She smiled and said, "I know,  I know, your godson is very well and of course I will not treat him badly."

‘Godson! ‘ Someone seemed to have heard the key points, picking up an  eyebrow, slightly wrinkling his frown, seemingly a little unhappy.

An Ran took the phone and talked to Lin Li for a while, and only then hung up  the phone.

After she hung up the phone, Su Yi Cheng went to her and look at her steadily.

An Ran looked at him, and acting spoiled she reached out towards him. Su Yi  Cheng stepped forward, pulled her hand over, placed it in his mouth and bit  her.

"Ahhh!" An Ran lightly cried out, pouting at him, said with some  grievances, "You bully me!" Actually it doesn't hurt at all, but sometimes  a couple seem to need this kind of fun.

Su Yi Cheng took another bite of her fingers and looked at her seriously,  "What godson? En?" He said, then bite her lightly again, his control is  very good, and he would never cause her pain or injury.

An Ran, amused, kept laughing and laughing, looking at him, pretending to  be ignorant, "What godson are you talking about? I don't understand what  you're saying at all."

"Still acting ignorant." Su Yi Cheng squeezed her nose, then reached out  and pulled her into his arms. He said besides her ear, "It is a daughter,  it must be a daughter! You said that you will give birth to my daughter."

An Ran was really feeling annoyed yet amused by it all. She was really  defeated by his insistence. She obliged him. "Right right right, it's a  daughter, a daughter. Is that okay now?"

Only then was Su Yi Cheng satisfied, nodded and said, "En, alright."

The two just embraced each other like that for a while before releasing and  letting go. Freed from his arms, An Ran smiled and looked at him, gently  asked, "Has Dad and Mom gone back already?" The smile on her profile looked very good, and was completely without the sullen and unhappiness in the  morning. He can see that she is in a good mood and smiling, and this smile is a genuine one from the heart.

He likes seeing her smile like this, and he doesn't like the frowning look  she had in the morning, especially her tightened brows even when she  sleeps.

He smile and said to her, "En, they went back, mother even said that she wants to buy pigeons and pig's trotters, and make different soups for you,  so it is not easy to get tired of the same taste."

An Ran happily raised her eyebrows, the expression on her face is one of satisfaction.

If he could, he wants her to smile like this forever, so filled with  happiness and satisfaction! Su Yi Cheng secretly made such a promise in his heart.

Seeing him staring at her, An Ran looked at him strangely and asked, "What  is it?"

Su Yi Cheng then recovered his senses, smiled and shook his head, “It's nothing.”

An Ran did not think much about it, lightly humming a song, and was in a very good mood.

------

Su Yi Cheng still has matters to be busy with, but because he did not feel safe he accompanied her in the hospital for one day, the next morning he  rushed to the office directly.

Over at An Ran's side, Su Yi Cheng worried about her being alone in the  hospital, so he arranged auntie Zhang to come over to take care of her.

Actually, An Ran was not too bored. Although Qin Yun no longer sent hot soup so early now, but she will come to the hospital every day and sit in  with her for an hour or two. Lin Xiaofen also came over every day, sometimes at  noon, sometimes in the evening, every time she will arrive with soup,  chicken soup, pigeon soup, pig's trotters soup, every time there will be  some changes. Sometimes Lin Xiaofen will meet with Qin Yun, and the two  people will always talk for quite a while,

Lin Xiaofen is currently doing her handover. It is still two months before  she officially leaves her job, she is not to work anymore. Now that An Ran  is pregnant, and the baby will be born in a few months. After retirement,  she will be able to take care of An Ran better.

Su Yi Cheng did not go home after work, but went directly to the hospital,  he will then go back to work every morning after going home to wash up and  change clothes. It's just like going back to the time when An Ran was first  discovered to be pregnant. Within a few days, his entire person looked tired at a single glance.

Although An Ran is distressed about it, she is wow'd over by his persistence.

Lazily turned over, but without that familiar and warm embrace, she woke up  in a daze, the whole room was dim, only the night light on the bed was lit,  the dim light made the entire room faint and dark.

An Ran elegantly yawned and sat up, saw the door of the bathroom opening a crack, the light spilled from the gap, she listened carefully, and heard Su Yi Cheng on the phone.

He had deliberately lowered his voice, so she couldn't quite understand what he was saying, and she was still a little sleepy. Her eyelids seems so heavy she couldn't lift them, and she hugged the pillows, her mind unable  to concentrate.

Not knowing how long it took, Su Yi Cheng hung up the phone and came out  of the bathroom, his actions careful and trying not to make a sound.

When he opened the covers and got on the bed. An Ran turned, reached out  and hugged his thin waist. Su Yi Cheng squinted and looked down at the darling hugging him. He saw her rubbing his chest with her head, mumbling  incoherently and said, "Why make a call so late at night.....?"

Su Yi Cheng gently stroked her head, then stroke her back, his mouth  slightly smiling, and asked, "It woke you up?"

An Ran shook her head, and groaned with some grievances, "Without you hugging me, I am not used to it." Such a terrible thing this thing called habit is, even if she is really sleepy, but without his embrace, she can't sleep even with her eyes closed.

Su Yi Cheng smiled and pulled her up slightly. The two touched their foreheads against each other, one arms across her neck, another around  her waist, and then kissed her, gently said, "Sleep then, I'm hugging You."

An Ran groaned and adjusted herself, saying confused, "It's hard, not like  the soft pillows..." Then she slept, and that satisfied look was simply  lovable.

When she woke up, it was already dawn. The sun shone through the windows. It  was rare for the person next to her to be still laying down beside her like  this. An Ran satisfactorily looked at the man besides her, with a faint  smile on her lips, he looks good.

He even looked good sleeping, sharp eyebrows, his lips are slightly bent,  and he doesn't snore like other men. His breathing very smooth and light.

Recently, he has been really tired out. The eye shadows looked darker at  the moment. Originally his work pressure was already much larger than the  average person. In the past few days, he has even been running to and fro  the hospital and the office.

Feeling guilty in her heart, she has clearly told herself to share his  worries, but it seemed that she was always causing trouble for him instead.

Her hand touched him gently and passed over his profile.

Her movement seemed to wake Su Yi Cheng up, and his brows creased gently,  then his eyelids moved, slowly opening his eyes, there wasn't the usual  savvy self, the him that had just woke up, was one with sleepy eyes, the  eyes are as simple as a child's, clean and free of impurities.

When he was fully awake, he saw her in front of him, and Su Yi Cheng smiled  at her. "Morning." The voice was still raw from just being awake.

"Did I disturb your rest?" An Ran looked at him apologetically.

Su Yi Cheng shook his head, his hand gently stroked her face, looked at her  bright red lips, and said with a voice that was still somewhat raw and had  not fully returned to normal, "I want to kiss you."

Hearing this, An Ran instinctively reached out to her mouth, muffled and  said, "I have not brushed my teeth yet!" After a night of sleep, the mouth  was uncomfortable, even she felt there was a little smell.

Su Yi Cheng smiled, brought down her hand, stared at her red lips, and  looked at her seriously. After a while, he asked, "I haven't either, do you  mind?"

An Ran looked at him for a while, shook her head with a smile, bent her  eyebrows and said, "I don't mind."

Because it is him, knowing that he is the one who will accompany her  throughout her life, knowing that he is the one who will accept her  everything, she is his, he is also hers, then who will mind being a little  dirty and unclean?

Su Yi Cheng went forward, his lips printed on hers, at first gently, then  he reached out and held her face, his lips and tongues plunged into her  mouth, and exchanged a deep kiss with her.

Not knowing how long the kiss was. When Su Yi Cheng let go of his hands  again, both of them were breathless. Su Yi Cheng held her tightly and the  two were tightly held against each other.

An Ran was hugged till she was a little uncomfortable. She reached out and  tried to push him, but suddenly she paused. His entire person seem to be on  fire, and the foreign body that was pressing against her lower abdomen was  something that a mother to be like her would be clearly aware of.

Su Yi Cheng held her tightly, his strength was unnaturally heavy, his  breathing began to become rugged, and he started breathing heavily.

An Ran tried to withdraw from his arms. It is obviously impossible for her  at this time to help him put out his ‘fire.’

"Don't move!" The hoarse and powerful voice came from besides her ear, and  the voice revealed a suppressed desire. The force that held her was  increased.

"You!..." An Ran widened her eyes and noticed that there was a change in  his body. His entire person seems to be burning up as if on fire!

Su Yi Cheng naturally knows his own changes. Holding her in his arms like  this, it is no wonder he is experiencing these changes. He said with a  suppressed voice, “Don’t move, let me just hold you like this for a while,  if you move again. It will only stimulate 'it' more."

An Ran really didn't dare to move anymore. She knew that what he said was  true. She was only able to hold herself as still as possible as he held her  in his arms. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly. She was afraid to  stimulate 'it' and could make the situation worsen.

Enduring his inner desire till a cold sweat appears on his forehead, Su Yi  Cheng held An Ran for quite a while, until he was finally able to let go.

An Ran looked at him and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.  Actually, she also felt bad about him like this, but there was no other way  to go about it. Now she can only let him be like this. Their baby is still very delicate and fragile right now.

Su Yi Cheng’s face was slightly reddish. Not knowing if it’s just  awkwardness or that he had endured away his changes. Looking at An Ran, his  expression was a little weird. “That, erm, a man is always easy to be more  impulsive in the morning.”

An Ran looked at him for a while, sure now that the reddish color on his  face was not due to his urges, but was of his embarrassment, and she could  not help but laugh out loud and smile, "So silly."

Su Yi Cheng also laughed, not the kind of polite laughter when others are  around but a laughter full of warmth and one that can warm the hearts of  others.

Looking at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already a quarter  past seven o'clock, and auntie Zhang will be coming at half past eight. Su  Yi Cheng got up somewhat reluctantly, went to the bathroom to wash up, and  when he came out again, he has already combed the hair that became a little  messy due to him sleeping. Looking at An Ran on the bed, he smiled and  asked, "What do you want to eat, I will go down and buy it for you." Today,  An Ran can finally be discharged from the hospital, so yesterday he had  asked Yi Jiao not to send the nutritious meal today.

Rolling her big doe eyes and thinking for a while, she then said, "En, I  want to eat dumplings and soy milk." Suddenly thought of something, added,  "But don't buy a lot, I can't finish it." Every time he is afraid that she  is hungry with not enough to eat, so every time he will buy a lot to let  her eat well. Even till noon she wouldn't feel hungry but then that time  mom will bring her soup over and want her to drink that while it is still  hot. Because she treasures their intentions and is not willing to go  against their kind actions, so even if she does not feel hungry she will  obligingly finish a big bowl of soup. If it continues like this she  believes her stomach will be fill to the bursting point, just like, just  like Lin Li from before. 

Su Yi Cheng smiled and caressed her head, did not say anything, just turned  and went straight out of the ward.

When An Ran finish washing up in the bathroom, and had finished packing up  the clothes she was going to take home today. Su Yi Cheng came in with  breakfast and had still bought a lot, far more than the portion for two  people.

An Ran looked at him with a defeated look and put the breakfast on the  short table by the side. She muttered and said with a childish voice,  "Sigh, I've already reminded you to buy less."

Su Yi Cheng just laughed, opened the plastic bag, placing the dumplings,  steaming buns, and the bean paste buns onto the plates, took the mug used  by An Ran to drink water, and poured the soy milk into it. Just gently  answered her, said, "Oh, I forgot."

"Are you a fish?" An Ran rolled her eyes and was annoyed, he had really  better had forgotten about it! It was said to him before he walked out,  then he couldn’t remember when he bought it! Does he think he is talking to  children!

Su Yi Cheng smiled and pulled her over. "Let me tell you a secret."

An Ran raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

Su Yi Cheng looked at her and suddenly reached over her stomach and said  seriously, "When I touched your stomach last night, the baby told me that  she wants to eat bean paste bun and dumplings today."

An Ran was stunned and looked at him. She really felt a little dumbfounded.  She thought  what secrets he was going to be telling her, but she didn't  expect it to be this, and she was so annoyed and amused by it, she patted  his chest unceremoniously,"Su Yi Cheng, she better be able to say all that,  and you, you also better is really able to hear what she is saying, you  childish boy."

Su Yi Cheng laughed out loud and hug her halfway. He took the dumpling and  placed it on her mouth and said, "Eat more, you are too thin."

"But you bought way too much!" An Ran cried out loud, who will buy so much,  and even still bought portions for two people!

"Try to eat as much as you can, I will finish the rest." Su Yi Cheng  coaxed.

He already said so, and so An Ran has nothing more to say, can only nod,  and reach out for the dumpling, and eat it delicately.

While eating, Su Yi Cheng said with some regrets, "I may not be able to  pick you up in the afternoon. I have to go to the province today at noon,  there will be meetings in the afternoon and tomorrow, and I will come back  only tomorrow evening."

Hearing that, although An Ran was somewhat disappointed he could not  accompany her to sleep at night, but she understood that it was a job  requirement, she nodded and said, "En, alright, be careful on your way  there." Suddenly thought of something, she reminded him, "I know that there  is definitely entertainment, but try to drink less, okay?"

Su Yi Cheng smiled and nodded. Her concern warms the bottom of his heart  like a warm current.

Su Yi Cheng waited for auntie Zhang to come before leaving, but Su Yi Cheng  had just step out when Qin Yun came, because she knew that An Ran was going  to be discharged from the hospital today, so she came earlier to see her  and accompany her to finish up on all the checks before her discharge from  the hospital. Lin Xiaofen originally wanted to come over as well, but there  was a sudden notice yesterday that there was large shipment in at the  factory today, and with all kinds of trivial things to handle even if she  wanted to leave she could not do so.

In the doctor's office, the doctor looked at the B-ultrasound and the fetal  heart test chart that had just been sent in. He nodded and noted the  information down. He smiled gently and spoke with Qin Yun and An Ran, "En,  you can relaxed, everything is normal with the baby. However, the physical  constitution of the pregnant woman may be somewhat weak. She can take more  supplements during her normal daily routine."

"What else should we be paying attention to?" Qin Yun, who was on the side,  asked with concern.

"In addition to the normal lifestyle, she can do some suitable exercise as  well, but no intense stuff. It is necessary to take a walk for half an hour  after a meal. In addition, drink two cups of milk every morning and evening  to supplement calcium, and folic acid can also be consumed every day. Other  cold foodstuffs and seafood, etc. should be avoided as much as possible."  The attending doctor said.

Qin Yun and An Ran listened carefully and then nodded and noted it down  within their hearts.

Thinking that she had already finished saying what she needed to say. When  An Ran and Qin Yun were ready to get up, the doctor suddenly thought of  something and hurriedly said, "Ah yes, the 1st trimester need to avoid  sexual intercourse, the activity should also be restrained during the last  trimester."

Hearing this, An Ran recalled the scene of being hugged by Su Yi Cheng in  the morning, and her whole face burned like fire.

Qin Yun looked at her blushing look, only thinking she was shy and smiled  and shook her head.

When they returned to the ward, auntie Zhang had already packed up the  things that needed to be packed. Qin Yun asked An Ran to sit in the ward  for a while, while she went to do the discharge procedures.

An Ran was a little bored standing by the window and looking at the scenery  outside. From the balcony, she could see the entrance to the hospital.  Watching the bustling people coming and going.

"Knock knock knock." The door of the ward was knocked on, and auntie Zhang  opened the door. She looked at the person outside the door. She had not  seen her before. She asked, "Who are you looking for?"

An Ran turned and saw that Tong Xiao Jie was standing in the doorway  wearing a patient attire. Her face was slightly pale, and even her lips did  not have much blood.

Wrinkled her brows, An Ran looked but did not speak a word.

Tong Xiao Jie went directly past auntie Zhang, and seeing that An Ran did  not say anything about it, she naturally did not say anything either.

An Ran looked at her, the Tong Xiao Jie at this moment look a bit sick, but  after all, she was a beautiful woman, so even if she looked pale it only  gave her a look that made people want to treasure her and care for her.

Looking around the entire ward, and then looking at An Ran, the corner of  her mouth said with an unsmiling smile, "It’s such a coincidence, we can  even meet in the hospital too. So you are pregnant too."

An Ran’s face didn’t have much expression. She only asked, “Do you have  matters with me?” They shouldn’t be in the kind of relationship that is  okay to chit chat and talk. Moreover, some people has even specifically  asked her out to request for her to not intervene in the 'perfect' marriage  that the two is having.

Tong Xiao Jie looked at her, fixedly watching, after a while, she laugh  coldly, shook her head and said, "Why don't you ask me why I'm wearing this  dress in the hospital?" she said, pointing to the set of clothing on her  body.

An Ran looked at her, her face did not change expression, only said  faintly, "That is your business, we don't seem to be familiar enough that  we would care about each other right?"

Tong Xiao Jie laugh, agreeing and nodding, "Yes, yes, you are right, I  don't like you, you also hate me, we certainly won't be willing to care for  each other."

"I don't hate you, you are just like a stranger to me." Regarding her  feeling for her past relationship, even if she had wanted to hate, she  would have only hated Mo Fei, because he betrayed their feelings for each  other, no matter if there was a third party, if he is firm in his feelings  towards her, then there is nothing to worry about at all.

"Is that so?" Tong Xiao Jie obviously did not believe what she said.

An Ran looked at her, and did not intend to explain anything anymore.  whether she believed it or not was her own business, she could not control  that.

"But I didn't like you very much. From the dislike six years ago, and  now..." Tong Xiao Jie paused, and after a while, looking at her,  her expression was almost bitter and said, "I hate you!"

Hearing this, An Ran only felt ridiculous, she clearly did not do anything.  If she remember correctly, she was the one robbed of her boyfriend, and it  was her who was abandoned and betrayed!

"Do you think it is ridiculous, and very inexplicable?" Tong Xiao Jie  looked at her laughing, then her expression suddenly became a little  distorted. "If I said that my child is now gone, and the reason is because  of you, will you still feel I hate you without any reasons at all?"
