142. Hand in hand



The latest news replaced the old. After leaving work and becoming pregnant, An Ran lost track of time, until Auntie Zhang asked her to take a few days of absence to see her grandson and grand-daughter, An Ran then realized that it was already National Day.

The nature of Su Yi Cheng’s work had no definite differentiation between holidays and regular days. A phone call came in, because on the first day of the provincial hall had an emergency document, so the original plan to go out with An Ran to go for a walk in the spring had to be set aside, and he returned to the office again to work overtime.

Hanging up the phone, Su Yi Cheng turned to look at An Ran who had already dressed up in her maternity dress and apologized, “Secretary Zheng called and said there was an emergency file that came, I have to go back to the office.”

Although she was disappointed, but she understood, An Ran said, “Go, work is important.” As she said that, she straightened his crooked tie.

Su Yi Cheng felt guilty and went to hug An Ran, and quietly whispered into her ears, “Sorry, I never have the time to accompany you.” Because of work, he doesn’t have the time to rest like the ordinary person. Now that An Ran is pregnant, standing there with such a large stomach, it was difficult to spend an entire day with her.

“Then you have to go to work, how would you raise me and our baby.” An Ran reached out to hug him back, chuckling.

Su Yi Cheng also chuckled, released her, put his forehead against her’s, and asked, “Today Auntie Zhang isn’t home, do you want me to send you to your mom’s home?”

An Ran shook her head, “Mom and dad are going to my cousin’s wedding, they’re probably not home.” She remembered that was what her mother told her when she came over yesterday.

Su Yi Cheng frowned, he was always uneasy when she was at home alone.

Seeming to see his concern, An Ran muttered, then reached out to his face, tilted her head, and asked, “Su Yi Cheng, you see me so useless? I can be home alone!” As if trying to prove something, An Ran seemed to put emphasis on the word ‘can’ very heavily.

Su Yi Cheng funnily reached out to put her hand down, and then conveniently put it against his lips to kiss it, then said, “Just you by yourself I would not be worried, but now there are three people at home, how could be not be worried?” Speaking that, the other hand stroke her stomach gently, gently stroking it back and forth.

“Heng, turns out you’re not worried about me, but your two little lovers!” An Ran pretended to glare at him.

Su Yi Cheng opened his mouth and put her hand in his mouth, gently bit down, but not so hard to give her pain, looked at her seriously and said, “Because of you, so I’m worried about the babies in your stomach.

“I know that slick mouth is tricking me.” An Ran looked at him funnily, knowing that he was the best as such sweet words, but still felt good hearing it.

After thinking for a while, Su Y Cheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, thought of something, looked at An Ran and said, “Come to the office with me.”

An Ran sighed, looked at him and reiterated, “I can be at home alone, don’t treat me like a child.”

Su Yi Cheng followed her nod, and just said, “Well I know you can, and did not treat you as a child, you should come and accompany me, okay?”

“What’s the use of my company!” She wasn’t smart, but she’s not stupid either, he’s treating her as a tempered child, really!

“If you stay with me, I’ll be more motivated and get the job done faster.” Su Yi Cheng was simply lying without a draft, nipped on her hand, very smoothly.

An Ran looked at him, a while later does she sigh, nodded, and said, “Fine.” She couldn’t refuse since he insisted, and she can’t keep refusing.

When Su Yi Cheng appeared in the office with An Ran, Secretary Zheng was at the door staring in disbelief, looked at An Ran unable to come with a reaction. He had been at Su Yi Cheng’s side for so many years, he had always felt that Su Yi Cheng never mixed up his public side and private side, never brought private matters to work, but today he actually brought his wife to work, it really was a bit of a shock.

An Ran calmly smiled to Secretary Zheng and said, “Hi Secretary Zheng.”

Secretary Zheng only then reacted, closed his open mouth from the shock and put on a warm smile and said, “Hello Madame!”

An Ran felt strange being called as someone’s wife, just smiled awkwardly and said, “Call me An Ran.”

Secretary Zheng smiled and nodded, enthusiastically said, “An Ran this is the first time to come here, would you like me to show you around in a minute?”

Not waiting for An Ran to say something, someone beside her spoke up in a cold tone, “Secretary Zheng you must be very idle?”

Listening to his tone, Secretary Zheng was taken aback, quickly reacted, turned to Su Yi Cheng and said, “No, I’m very busy, there are so many things not finished, I will go now, will go now.” Saying that he turned around wanting to run away.

Before Secretary Zheng turned around and wanted to walk away, Su Yi Cheng leisurely said, “I see that you are very idle, make a detailed table of the city construction project for me.”

Secretary Zheng turned his head, and said somewhat excitedly, “Mayor Su, I already gave that table to you!” At that time because of that complicated table, he was busy for two days and two nights, so busy that he had no time for his girlfriend, his girlfriend nearly broke up with him because of it!

“En, I know.” Su Yi Cheng slightly nodded, the expression on his face has not changed, only calmly said, “But I lost the copy you gave me, you’ll have to help me make another copy, sorry to trouble you.”

Hearing that, Secretary Zheng cried in the inside, “Mayor Su, you cannot play like this!” He was afraid that An Ran was uncomfortable being here for the first time so he said he would show her around, he was just being kind okay, why mess with him like this! He knew Su Yi Cheng, there was no way he’d lose such an important document!

Su Yi Cheng raised his brows, turned to look at him, faintly asked, “Have a problem?”

In response, Secretary Zheng just felt a shiver, he was looking at him but did not want to look any longer, he turned around and took large strides to walk away, spoke as he walked, “I will immediately do it!”

“Hehe.” An Ran couldn’t help but laugh at the interaction between those two. She had been with Su Yi Cheng for almost half a year, she can’t say that she knew his affairs more than the others, but for his character and other things she understood that much, naturally she can see that he was just taking revenge on Secretary Zheng.

Seeing her laugh, Su Yi Cheng turned to look at her, reached out to touch her long soft hair, casually asked, “What’s the matter, what’s so funny?”

An Ran put her nose on him and sniffed, then slyly smiled and asked, “I smell something sour, do you smell it?”

Su Yi Cheng laughed, nodded and said, “En, it’s me I’m jealous.”

His confession instead surprised An Ran and she stared at him blankly. She thought he would deny it, the person who was trying to poke at him instead felt embarrassed!

Su Yi Cheng reached out to caress her face, looked at her, expression slightly distressed, and said, “What to do? I seem to be getting more and more irrational, and I’m even starting to mix public and private matters.”

An Ran looked at him, somewhat speechless, but her heart was feeling odd, silky sweet.

Holding her face, Su Yi Cheng carried a faint smile and continued to say, “I wanted to hide you away, not let anyone else see you, so that you can only smile at me, your eyes can only look at me.”

An Ran laughed and put his hand down, “I didn’t know you had such a strong appetite for possession.” That slender finger poked his solid chest, “Tyrant!”

Su Yi Cheng smiled, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, said, “Only to you, okay.”

An Ran smiled sweetly, her brows and eyes were bent in a good-looking arch, looked at him, and nodded heavily, “Good!” She liked his overbearingness, it made people feel that they were the most precious and cherished.

The two smiled like that for a while, Su Yi Cheng took her into his office, found the least boring book from the bookcase for An Ran to read, let her sit down on the sofa to read it, while he sat on his desk to deal with the emergency documents that Secretary Zheng had put on his desk earlier.

The book that Su Yi Cheng gave her was incredibly boring, it was densely packed with words, and all of it were very academic terms, An Ran only felt her lids get heavier and heavier, then slowly slipped out of consciousness.

When Su Yi Cheng was finished examining the documents and looked up, he saw that An Ran had fallen asleep on the sofa. He got up and covered her with his coat, gently sat down on the sofa, reached out push her bangs aside, and gave her a kiss.

“Knock knock knock.” Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Secretary Zheng pushed the door in and said, “Mayor Su, Secretary Zhang has arrived, tell everyone—”

Suddenly there was no sound, because of the sight he saw with Su Yi Cheng there silenced him, he then noticed that An Ran was asleep on the sofa.

Su Yi Cheng got up and went over to him, and with a low voice he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Secretary Zheng was well-intentioned, and like him lowered his voice and said, “Secretary Zhang has arrived, tell everyone to meet at conference room 1 for a meeting, it’s probably about the emergency document from earlier.”

Su Yi Cheng nodded, “I got it.”

Secretary Zheng nodded, and turned to withdraw from the office.

When An Ran woke up again, the office had long gone lost the trace of Su Yi Cheng. Somewhat puzzled rubbing her eyes, just as she was about to call him she saw his cell phone on the table.

Thinking he might have gone to the toilet, she was bored and took the book that she had been reading earlier. After waiting a while but not seeing anyone come back, she frowned somewhat puzzled, not sure where Su Yi Cheng had went.

She cautiously got up to open the door, and saw that Secretary Zheng was not outside. A little cautious, but also curious about the building, she walked to the entrance of the building, only to see two people going up the stairs, who saw An Ran at the same time she noticed them.

An Ran was surprised, she recognized the person who came up was Xudong Real Estate’s Xiao Ying Tian. Xiao Ying Tian apparently recognized her, smiled and nodded to An Ran and said, “An Ran, long time no see.”

An Ran also smiled at him and said, “Long time no see, Chairman Xiao.”

When Su Yi Cheng came back from the meeting, he saw An Ran and Xiao Ying Tian in the office chatting very intensely.

“How did Uncle Xiao come here?” Su yi Cheng said with a smile, put the documents on his desk, then walked over to An Ran’s side, sat on the side of the sofa, his hand naturally rested on An Ran’s shoulder, and An Ran turned to look at him and smiled.

“I am here to find Lao Zhang, passed by your floor when I happened to meet An Ran, so I wanted to chat with An Ran for a bit.” Xiao Ying Tian said with a faint smile, then stood up, “It seems like your meeting is over, I shall go look for Lao Zhang now that he is free.” Saying that, he got up and turned to leave the office.

Su Yi Cheng politely said, “Uncle Xiao doesn’t want to sit for a little longer?” As he spoke, he stood up with An Ran.

“No no, I am in the way of you husband and wife, I read the newspaper the other day.” Xiao Ying Tian said mockingly.

Upon mentioning that day’s newspaper, An Ran’s face suddenly turned red, her entire person became embarrassed, she caste a blaming glance at Su Yi Cheng.

Su Yi Cheng had a faint smile, not at all embarrassed or awkward.

Sending Xiao Ying Tian out the door, when they got to the door, Xiao Ying Tian suddenly turned his head, looked at An Ran with a mysterious smile, “An Ran, please consider what we just talked about, don’t waste your talent.”

An Ran nodded with a smile, “Okay, I’ll think it over.”

Su Yi Cheng raised his brows. When he wasn’t there, he seemed to have missed something?

After Xiao Ying Tian left, closing the door again, Su Yi Cheng looked at An Ran and asked, “Just now what was that with Uncle Xiao?”

An Ran turned to look at him and asked, “What do you think about me taking a few cases home?”

When she said that, he understood immediately. He frowned, and disapprovingly said, “An Ran, have you forgotten that you are still pregnant?” He has seen how she gets when she designs, he doesn’t want her to work that hard, besides, she is with child right now.

An Ran pouted, her finger drew a circle around his chest, and muttered, “I knew you wouldn’t agree.” She knew he wouldn’t agree, so she didn’t give Xiao Ying Tian an answer right away.

Su Yi Cheng reached out to caress her long soft hair, looked at her seriously and said, “An Ran, we should put the children first, okay?”

Although An Ran was somewhat defeated, but she also knew that he was well-intentioned, so she nodded obediently, and promised, “Okay.”

Su Yi Cheng naturally saw the loneliness on her face. He looked at the documents on his desk, and thought to himself, good that it’s not urgent, it can wait until later tonight!

He made up his mind. Su Yi Cheng rubbed her head and said, “Let’s go, I am done.” Speaking, he looked at his watch, and it was almost lunch time. “Let’s go eat and then drive and watch the scenery?”

“En.” An Ran smiled and nodded, reached out to let him take her hand.

Due to it being the holidays, there were especially a lot of people on the streets, many were couples, friends, of course, the road was also full of cars, almost all of the streets were jammed with traffic.

Su Yi Cheng and An Ran were blocked in front of the government building, until finally it got to a point where it was not easy to move forward. Su Yi Cheng directly and decisively parked the car in front of a restaurant, and then led An Ran directly out of the car.

As they were walking, An Ran was smiling, seeming to be in a particularly good mood.

While Su Yi Cheng was a little depressed, he completely did not think that the streets and road would be like this, even walking down the road was hard.

What made him even more depressed is that even if they want to find a restaurant it’s full. They left the office almost an hour ago, and they are still walking down the street, unable to find even a small restaurant.

He asked An Ran, “Are you hungry?”

An Ran snuck a gaze and nodded. Recently she has gotten used to eating a lot, every day she has been eating more meals. Since the meal this morning until now, she really was a little hungry.

Su Yi Cheng felt a little guilty, reached out to pull her over a little, lest the other pedestrians on the street bump into her. “Why don’t we go back, I’ll make you lunch.” Su Yi Cheng said.

An Ran shook her head, “I’m always at home and I’m getting moldy.”

“But you’re hungry.” Su Yi Cheng said with a frown.

An Ran thought for a while. They weren’t too far from the pedestrian street, she slyly looked at him and said, “Come shopping with me.”

“Shopping?” Su Yi Cheng raised his brows.

An Ran nodded, raised both of their hand, and said, “We went there once, come with me again. Anyway the road is jammed everywhere, we aren’t able to go. I also don’t like to stay at home all day, so, let’s go shopping.”

Su Yi Cheng smiled and nodded, said, “We can shop, but we have to find a place to eat, cannot let you starve.”

An Ran rolled her eyes, pulled his hand and went forward, said, “I know where to eat.”

Su Yi Cheng let her lead him, just shook his head behind her and smiled. As long as she was happy.



Su Yi Cheng stared at the steaming hot things in her hand, slightly frowned and said, “Is that clean?” People came and went, dust was all over the place, and he didn’t see that the man had anything to use as a cover.

An Ran looked at him, straightened up with her bulging belly, held up the freshly bought beef soup with noodle, and said with a sweet smile, “Can’t always be so exquisite, sometimes you have to put up with it, otherwise you’ll be missing a lot of things.” As she said that, she couldn’t stop drooling. It’s been a long time since she’s had this. It seems that starting when she started working, she had been busy every day, the rest in between designs was not always fixed, sometimes she was busy for a few weeks, not sleeping for a few days not even close her eyes, when she had time to rest she hid at home to sleep, like visiting streets or something, she never had enough time, designer clothes she always went to those shopping malls to buy, one-time.

An Ran was somewhat in a hurry, directly with that disposable plastic spoon she put a mouthful of beef soup into her mouth. There was no taste at first, instead she felt the heat on their tongue, yelled out childishly, “Hot hot hot.”

Su Yi Cheng sighed and shook his head, reached for the foam in her hand, pulled her into the roadside station, looked at her with an amused look, “Why are you like a child.” Taking the disposable plastic spoon in her hand, he scooped it up, then put it beside his mouth and gently blew on it, then handed it to her mouth, and gently said, “Come on, open your mouth.”

An Ran smiled, obediently opened the edge of her mouth, let him put the food in her mouth, not too hot not too cold, plus the taste of her memory, An Ran was satisfied and closed her eyes, sighed, “Still as delicious as before!”

Su Yi Cheng also smiled, and scooped a spoon and just like before put it in beside his mouth and gently blowing, handed to her until she opened her mouth and ate it.

An Ran ate in satisfaction. Waiting until she ate half the bowl, Su Yi Cheng fed her until she stopped opening her mouth, watched her shake her head and say, “I’m full, you eat the rest.”

He understood her thoughtfulness, he became helpless at her insistence, and finished the rest of the food, then nodded as she looked with him with expectation and said it was delicious.

Hearing that, An Ran was very satisfied and smiled with bent eyes. She held his hand again and began walking amongst the crowd.

Su Yi Cheng was always vigilant, afraid that people would bump into her, and would always protect her.

In reality the two did not actually buy anything, they just simply strolled down the street. An Ran loved the feeling of walking hand in hand with the person you love strolling down the street, it was very peaceful, secure.

Seeing the snack stalls across the street, An Ran swallowed her saliva. Some things were not healthy, even if An Ran acted like a spoiled child, Su Yi Cheng would not approve. Then An Ran would pout unhappily, but after seeing the next thing she would go back to before and forget their argument, point at the vendor and pat on Su Yi Cheng’s hand, like right now, “Yi Cheng, look, it’s sweet corn.”

Su Yi Cheng laughed helplessly, and gave in and nodded, “Alright. There’s too much people over there, you stand here, I’ll go and buy it for you.”

An Ran nodded heavily, and waited like a hungry child, extremely cute.

An Ran stood under a eucalyptus tree, and watched the man squeeze himself into a group of people to buy a small corn. He must have not been to these places that often, her heart felt very warm. In fact, it’s not that she especially wanted to eat, just watching him do that for her and squeezing into the crowd, the heart had an indescribable sweet feeling.

“An Ran?”

Just as An Ran happily looked up to see Su Yi Cheng emerge from the crowd, a familiar male voice called out from behind, with uncertainty.

An Ran turned her head, only to see Mo Fei dressed up behind her, seeing her, his face flashed a little joy.

An Ran was a little taken aback, surprised that she would meet him here. She just nodded at him faintly, her face did not have much expression.

When An Ran turned around Mo Fei could see her bulging stomach, the joyous face turned dark. He smiled awkwardly, “Last time, I saw the newspaper last time.”

An Ran nodded. Regarding Mo Fei, she really did not have much to say.

Mo Fei could sense the embarrassment, trying to find a topic, “You---”

“Mo Fei.” A woman from behind interrupted Mo Fei.

Hearing that, An Ran looked up, only to see Xiao Xaio come up from behind Mo Fei holding sugar fried chestnuts.

141. Newspaper



The latest and quickest update was from Secretary Zheng’s call, somewhat urgently he said, “Mayor Su, did you see today’s newspaper?”

“What newspaper?” He frowned and asked in a low voice.

“Well.” Secretary Zheng had a faint smile, and just said, “Wait until Mayor Su reads the newspaper, I’m afraid Mayor Su and his wife are now the most famous people in Jiang City.

Su Yi Cheng’s frown deepened, “Does it involve An Ran?” He only cares about this, he doesn’t care about any other things, as long as they don’t talk about An Ran!

“Mayor Su should still look at it yourself. Oh right, Chief Zhang’s secretary called to inform that the meeting will be at 10 am in the first room.” Secretary Zheng dutifully reported the next business, before hanging up the phone, but also with a mysterious smile said, “Well, Mayor Su, congratulations.” Not waiting for Su Yi Cheng to ask about what, he hung up the phone directly.

Su Yi Cheng frowned as he looked at the phone in his hand. He lifted the quilt and got up, picked up the clothes from last night’s passionate activity and threw on some clothes, prepared to go out to see what today’s newspaper has written.

An Ran dazedly opened her eyes. Because of last night’s madness and entanglement her eye at the moment were still thick with sleep, half got up, and asked, “What’s the matter?” Although not completely awake, but she had heard some things from his phone call, and seeing Su Yi Cheng’s appearance, it seems like something really happened.

Su Yi Cheng looked at her for a while, then leaned over, lowered his head and gave her a hot morning kiss, then with his passionate voice he charmingly said, “If you seduce me again, I promise we will have an accident!” Speaking, he bit her ears.

An Ran was shocked, she lowered her head and looked, then discovered that when she sat up the blanket fell slipped down her shoulders, and last night they were too enthusiastic that she was as naked as a newborn. Now that the blanket rolled off and sat on top of her stomach, she was exposing her snow white chest. This scene, it was not hard to let people imagine.

“Ah!” An Ran screamed out, and then put her hand in front of Su Yi Cheng and pushed him away. She pulled the quilt over herself and wrapped herself solidly, covered half her face, only exposing a pair of big eyes. Hiding in the cotton quilt she stiffly said, “Wolf! Hoodlum!” Her whole face was blushing red, hot and hard.

Su Yi Cheng laughed, while she was pushing and crying he gave her a satisfying kiss, then let go of her and got up. Because of last night’s passion he picked up the scattered clothes from the ground and picked it up for her, then with a good mood left the room.

When he closed the door, An Ran looked at the tightly closed door, and couldn’t help but mutter, “Scoundrel, big scoundrel!” Although she was grumbling, the corner of her mouth still had a smile that exposed her happiness and contentment at the moment.

Su Yi Cheng came out of the room and met Auntie Zhang who had just arrived. Auntie Zhang was holding today’s newspaper and saw Su Yi Cheng, she smiled and said, “Mister, you haven’t left for work yet, do you want me to prepare breakfast for you?”

Su Yi Cheng did not shake or nod his head, looked at the newspaper in her hand and just asked, “is this this morning’s newspaper?”

Auntie Zhang nodded, handed the newspaper to him, and said, “It’s this morning’s, I just took it from downstairs.” As she passed the mailbox downstairs she happened to see it, and just brought it in.

Su Yi Cheng nodded, reached out to take the newspaper, and looked through it. When he turned to the entertainment section, he suddenly paused, and saw a picture of him and An Ran at the hospital yesterday that had unexpectedly hit the Jiang City Metropolis Daily entertainment page headline, and the side of it had a large text, ‘Young mayor with lovely wife at the examination, behaviour shows the image of a good man who loves his wife!’ staring at the newspaper for a while, Su Yi Cheng really did not know whether to cry or laugh. He does not like publicity, has always been very low-key, since he came into politics he rarely interviews, unless it was unnecessary, he has always avoided the media. But he did not expect that while taking An Ran to a prenatal examination yesterday, this rare last newspaper, suddenly became the headline of the entertainment section!

Just when Su Yi Cheng was holding the newspaper crying and laughing at the same time, he received a phone call. It was Ye Zi Wen that guy who was calling. He looked at the cell phone, then looked at the newspaper in his hand, did not need to answer the phone, he knew what he was calling him for. However he still answered the phone, “If you wanted to tell me about what was on the newspaper no need, I already saw it.”

On the other end, Ye Zi Wen took a moment to react, and asked, “What newspaper?” That voice sounded dispirited, really unlike his normal manner.

Su Yi Cheng raised his brows, heard the difference, and asked, “You, what’s going on?”

Yi Zi Wen did not let the newspaper matter confuse him, and remembered the purpose of his phone call, he asked, “Ah Cheng, have you seen Yi Jiao recently? I haven’t seen her for almost a month.”

“Yi Jiao?” Su Yi Cheng frowned, “What’s going on between you two?” It seems it wasn’t the first time he had called him to ask about Yi Jiao.

On the other end of the phone, Yi Zi Wen smiled bitterly, only sighed and said, “I haven’t seen her since that day.”

“That day?” Su Yi Cheng did not know which day he was referring to, did not know what happened between him and Yi Jiao. He sternly said, “Yi Ze Wen, if you dare bully Yi Jiao, don’t blame me if I don’t consider you as a friend!” His own sister, he will still be distressed, even if they were brothers he wouldn’t take the bullying.

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and after a while he opened his mouth weakly and said, “Ah Cheng, I seem to be in love with Xiao Jiao.”

Su Yi Cheng was taken aback for a while, did not expect him to personally admit that. In fact, the two had grown up together, it was clear what Ye Zi Wen thought of Yi Jiao.

Ye Zi Wen had always seen her as a sister, but towards Yi Jiao’s confession and entanglement he never gave a reply, but he had also never explicitly rejected, even when Yi Jiao was seeing a boy he got anxious for a while, said that he didn’t want to see her be deceived, so he investigated that boy thoroughly, nothing escaped his eyes.

“This you should be telling the girl yourself, what’s the use of telling me.” After being silent for a while, SU Yi Cheng finally replied with that.

Ye Zi Wen laughed bitterly on the other end, did not speak, and hung up the phone directly.

Hanging up, Su Yi Cheng stood in the living room for a while, until Auntie Zhang called out for him from behind, did he finally return to his senses.

“Sir, would you like me to prepare breakfast for you?” Auntie Zhang stood in the kitchen, put on an apron for breakfast.

He looked down at the newspaper in his hand, thinking of the smiling women in the room who had been entangled by him for a night last night, the smile on his face became confused. He smiled at Auntie Zhang and said, “Auntie Zhang, I’ll make breakfast.”

Auntie Zhang also smiled and nodded. After being here for a period of time, she also knew that Su Yi Cheng spoiled An Ran, personally cooking for An Ran was not a new thing. She took the apron off and left it aside, smiled and said, “Then I will go to the vegetable market to buy today’s food.”

Su Yi Cheng nodded. When Auntie Zhang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and called out to Auntie Zhang, “Auntie Zhang, just wait, can you buy some pig’s feet stew, yesterday when An Ran went to the hospital she had some cramps.”

“Oh, okay.” Auntie Zhang nodded, then remembered his words in her heart, directly carried the basket out of the door.

After Su Yi Cheng finished breakfast, he was going to call An Ran up, only to see An Ran coming out grumbling, seeing Su Yi Cheng, she started grumbling even more.

Su Yi Cheng looked at her amused, touched her head, and caught a glimpse of the scarf tied around her neck, couldn’t help but ask, “Is it cold?” He reached over to take her hand, but was unkindly patted away. In a low voice she blamed him, “It’s your fault!”

Su Yi Cheng blanked, then quickly reacted, laughed. After receiving her somewhat aggressive glare, he held back and said, “It’s okay, at home, no one will see it.”

She pinched his waist and muttered, “There’s still Auntie Zhang, so I wore a scarf, don’t want to be laughed at.”

Su Yi Cheng laughed and pulled her to the counter, sat her on top of the stool, and went around to the kitchen and sat in front of her. He gave her warm milk, then said, “As an apology to you, I admit my wrong doing, how about this, I will give you my poached eggs and ham for compensation!” As he said that he used his knife and fork to put the eggs and ham onto her plate.

An Ran stared at his white plate without the eggs and ham sausage, protesting, “Hey hey, how could this be! I can’t eat it.”

He took a sip of milk and said, “It’s all right, you need nutrition now, there’s not only one baby in your belly, now there’s two babies, so, be good and eat more, okay?”

An Ran couldn’t dispute him, muttered, pointed to her stomach and said, “Looks like in your last life was hungry, you attracted two lovers at once.”

SU Yi Cheng laughed heartily, looked at her and said, “I only need to attract you in this lifetime.”

An Ran laughed at his retort, only to laugh and scold, “Smooth talker.”

Lin Xiao Fen and Qin Yi seemed to arrive at the same time, when Su Yi Cheng grabbed his case and was about to leave he happened to meet them at the door. Because Su Yi Cheng had a meeting, he couldn’t stay for too long to chat, just said a few words, and hurriedly left.

Qin Yi and Lin Xiao Fen went in, pulled An Ran forward and inspected her thoroughly, then stared at An Ran’s stomach, with the same voice they asked, “Really twins?”

After asking, both of them each fell into tears and laughed.

An Ran also laughed, stroked her belly, and happily nodded, “En, the doctor said they were twins.” She really felt that she was fortunate, and her luck seemed to have began when she met Su Yi Cheng. This man gave her the happiness she wanted, and even gave her more than what she wanted.

“That is very good.” Qin Yi patted her thigh and cheered, she turned to look at Lin Xiao Fen and said, “In-law, if this happens then, you can carry one, and I can carry the other, this way we don’t have to fight over who wants to hold their grandchildren!”

Lin Xiao Fen also smiled, did not stop nodding, and said, “Yes, this is too good, to avoid only one, you can only look from afar, I can also look from afar, but now, there’s no trouble since each can carry one.”

The two mothers talking about holding their grandchildren was an endless topic, the two of them were exchanging words, speaking happily.

An Ran was a little embarrassed, these children seem to already be divided up, they apparently forgot that she was the children’s mother, and wish to have her children by her side.

As the two mothers were talking about how to raise the children, An Ran wanted to say something but wasn’t able to interfere, ultimately she could only sit there on the living room sofa mindlessly, and grabbed the newspaper that was sitting on top of the coffee table.

She does not understand and does not care about the facts of politics, so for Su Yi Cheng’s work she has never asked more than half a sentence. One was to avoid it, but she also has no interest at all. She first turned over to the financial section, roughly got a hold of the real estate situation in Jiang City, in fact, she only found out a few days ago that the stock price for ‘Jing Cheng’ dropped quite a bit. Huang De Xing, because of being suspected of being involved in Ling Chuan Jiang’s case was summoned to the prosecutor’s office to ask some questions, it seems like they have also closed for a week, and finally through the strength and background of his wife’s family he was able to get out, but after getting out he was pulled out of ‘Jing Cheng’, and his part of the company’s share went to a mysterious boss behind-the-scenes.

In fact, she was also listening to Chen Cheng and she said, perhaps it’s because of the last time that Chen Cheng had been feeling some guilt towards An Ran, so even if An Ran’s attitude at the beginning was relatively cold and hard, she still had time to call An Ran. After a while, the unpleasant things also slowly faded, and they have recently gradually become more connected, but generally it was Chen Cheng who usually took the initiative to call.

In fact, from her understanding An Ran also knew that Chen Cheng actually lived a very hard life, the conditions at home were very bad, and her father was very ill, the burden was all on her, before her father passed away due to an infection after surgery, she called An Ran, said that she could not cry, there was a feeling of broadcast, An Ran did not know how to comfort her, just held the phone and listened to her carefully.

She turned the page over to the entertainment section, once she turned to it, she choked. Looking at the large photo spread across the newspaper, An Ran couldn’t describe the feeling.

That photo was a secret shot, not too good, but you can clearly recognize the two people in the photo. That was from yesterday when she and Su Yi Cheng went out of the hospital door and was photographed, the wind at that spot was a little big, blowing her hair, and Su Yi Cheng very carefully reached out to block her line of sight to fix her hair, the expression and action from the photo was very gentle, very considerate.

An Ran speculated that the newspaper may have been related to the couple she met before entering the doctor's office, because only the couple had recognized Su Yi Cheng, and the mother-to-be was also a reporter before, she might have tipped off her colleague.

Reaching out to touch the picture on that paper, the corner of her mouth concealed a smile. Looking at the description at the side, the article hyped up Su Yi Cheng, said he pampered his wife, even did not mind kneeling to massage his wife’s feet, even though he was busy he took the time to accompany his wife to do the birth examination, he even wrote that he was excited to announce that his wife was pregnant with twins, he was not only the leader on the table, but also an ordinary man, who has anger and emotions, when happy and excited he will laugh crazily, said that he wasn’t as untouchable as he looked but also has blood and flesh, like an ordinary person, very lively, very real.

But when she saw the last paragraph of the text, An Ran suddenly burst into red, did not expect them to go to the office that Su Yi Cheng went to ask the doctor about the life of the husband and wife and even wrote it, but also humorously wrote, ‘It seems that Mrs. Su is pregnant, but we are suffering this young mayor.’

An Ran really wanted to cry tearlessly, and guesses that now they would be the joke of Jiang City, she doesn’t want to go out now!

At the side Qin Yi and Lin Xiao Fen were chatting, also just noticed An Ran holding the newspaper, suddenly remembered something, turned to An Ran and said, “An Ran ah, there is something…” Seeing the scarf around her neck, she suddenly stopped and asked, “What’s with the scarf around your neck?”

An Ran, slightly embarrassed, touched her neck, only shook her head, but also couldn’t say anything. Her face was incredibly red.

Seeing that, Qin Yi naturally understood, looked at her disapprovingly and said, “An Ran ah, you are now carrying children, it’s not like before, you must pay special attention to some things.” She said and somewhat complaining about her son, “You say, this son of mine, such an improper person, how could he be so impatient!”

An Ran sweated, in addition to smiling awkwardly, she could not do any other expression, and the heat on her face was even more immense.

Lin Xiao Fen also seemed to arrive at the same understanding, and had a serious look on her face and said to An Ran, “Yes, as in-law Qin said, you are now pregnant with children, but also with twins, you have to be more careful. Tell Ah Cheng tonight, he will have to bear with it for a couple more months, after all the children are the most important thing.”

Qin Yi echoed, “Exactly, exactly. No, I have to personally call Ah Cheng that brat and talk to the boy.” Then she took her cell phone out of her pocket and started to call Su Yi Cheng.

At this time Auntie Zhang brought back the vegetables, carrying the basket she asked An Ran, “Madam, this morning Mister said that your legs cramped, would you like black beans with the pig’s foot stew or would you like it just plain?”

Hearing that, the two present mothers looked at An Ran nervously, very tacitly asked, “An Ran, do you have cramps?”

An Ran smiled dryly and nodded. Seeing that, Qin Yi stood up, walked past Auntie Zhang and said, “For the pig feet stew put more black beans, no need to put other herbs, soybeans can also supplement the protein, that’ll be good.” Saying that, she took the basket from Auntie Zhang’s hand, and continued, “Here let me, this leg cramp is due to calcium deficiency, it’s better to eat more things with bones rather than taking calcium supplements.”

Looking on Lin Xiao Fen also stood up to go to the kitchen to help, An Ran finally could let out a sigh. Otherwise they would have continued to question her, she really was ashamed.

Seeing Su Yi Cheng’s picture on the newspaper, An Ran miserly patted him, and muttered, “It’s all your fault.”

That night when Su Yi Cheng returned home An Ran was still up, leaning on the headboard, holding that newspaper. Upon seeing Su Yi Cheng’s face she started to put on an evil face.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yi Cheng asked, somewhat casually. As he spoke, he took off his coat, took a change of clothes from the closet, and did not wait for An Ran’s response, directly went into the bathroom.

When he came out again, An Ran was still sitting in that position, and Su Yi Cheng noticed that her expression was a little off, but when he caught a glimpse of the newspaper in her hand, he seemed to understand.

Half-smiling he went to bed from the other side, reached straight for her and pulled her into his arms, but was pushed away by someone who was making it difficult.

Su Yi Cheng could not be thwarted, so he reached out again, and was pushed away by a certain someone again.

Persisting, determined to put her in his arms, only to see someone was glaring at him, but did not push him away, let him hold her, and then somewhat angrily turned to hit his chest, grumbling, “It’s all your fault, today many people called to question me, I will not see people now, I’ll hide at home every day, won’t go out and be a joke to people.” Although the hand was hitting him, the force was soft, not painful at all.

“Then don’t go out, I can hide you at home for the rest of my life.” Su Yi Cheng said in a good mood.

An Ran pushed him away, took the newspaper and pointed at it and said, “Thanks to your image as a leader, you are not afraid to damage the phenomenon of the tall and powerful ah!”

Su Yi Cheng did not look, somewhat proudly said, “Doesn’t affect me, the newspaper said, I look like I have blood and flesh, very real, these are praising words to me.”

“Pah, you look pretty pround.” An Ran said with some distaste.

“Of course.” Su Yi Cheng said with a serious expression.

“Pff!” An Ran laughed at his serious energy, it’s impossible to be really angry at him. How curious, with him she could feel her own happiness at every moment.

Su Yi Cheng also laughed, again hugged her back to the bed, also did not speak, just quietly held her, smelled the same smell of their own bath milk on her body, did not need to say anything, it was very reassuring, very comfortable.

An Ran leaned against his chest, hand still holding that newspaper, stared at the photo above, gently touched it. Really, looking at the photo she felt it was more and more good looking, gently murmured to him, “Yi Cheng, we should take our own photos.” They don’t seem to have a photo album, they can’t wait for the children to come out and point to this newspaper and say it’s the only photo of their parents!

Su Yi Cheng nods dearly, with a gentle voice he answers into her ears, “Yes.”
