143. Getting fat



The recent event made An Ran raise her head, only to see Xiao Xiao holding sugar fried chestnuts and coming towards them.

Xiao Xiao also saw An Ran, and was surprised, that smile on the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared, then in the next moment it appeared again. As she advanced she naturally reached out to hold Mo Fei’s hand. She looked at An Ran, smiled and said, “An Ran, what a coincidence! Long time no see.”

Concerning this combination, An Ran couldn’t help but be surprised. It wasn’t anything else, but just utter surprise.

After that incidence An Ran shook her head and smiled, then looked up at them, just smiled and nodded, and repeated, “It is a coincidence.”

Xiao Xiao didn’t smile but pulled in her lips, turned to look at the paper bag in her hands containing the sugar fried chestnuts, took one out and said, “Mo Fei, didn’t you say you wanted to eat this, I peeled it off for you, I just tasted one, very sweet and very powdered.” As she spoke, she peeled the chestnut shell with her newly manicured fingers, then look out the flesh and handed it to Mo Fei’s mouth.

An Ran smiled at everything, as if she were looking at two complete strangers, no feeling.

Mo Fei looked dead on at An Ran, completely indifferent to Xiao Xiao’s delivering the chestnut to his mouth, and did not open his mouth.

“An Ran.” From behind Su Yi Cheng finally squeezed out from the crowd, holding the still hot corn and walked towards An Ran.

An Ran turned around, saw his happy face, and saw that he was holding some hot corn in his hands, smiled with her eyes and said, “You bought it.”

Su Yi Cheng only had his eyes on An Ran, as he came close he only then saw Mo Fei and Xiao Xiao standing in front of An Ran. Seeing that they looked intimate, he slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he weren’t that surprised. He lightly nodded to them, and just said, “Chief Mo, Miss Xiao, what a coincidence.”

Xiao Xiao took back the hand that was close to his mouth, turned her head and slightly nodded towards Su Yi Cheng, pulled in her lips and smiled, “Mayor Su.”

Mo Fei stared at home, and stiffly nodded.

After saying hello, Su Yi Cheng no longer cared about them, directly opened the plastic bag and delivered the sweet corn to An Ran’s mouth, and said, “It’s still very hot, I’ll hold, you eat slowly.”

“En en.” An Ran nodded joyfully, and gnawed up the corn he put in front of her. As she was eating like a kid she said, “En, it’s good.”

Su Yi Cheng just dotingly rubbed her head and said, “Let’s go, where do you wanna go?”

An Ran’s mouth was full of corn, so her words were somewhat unclear as she said, “I want to go to the river.” Looking at Su Yi Cheng, her eyes were shining.

Su Yi Cheng nodded, “Okay, we’ll go wherever you want to go.” She was the boss, and everything was about her. Then he looked up and saw Mo Fei and Xiao Xiao standing to the side, faintly smiled and said, “Chief Mo and Miss Xiao can continue, we will leave first.”

Mo Fei still had no expression, his eyes were fixed on An Ran and just looked at her. Both his hands were hanging down on his sides balled up tightly, as if he were supressing his mood through his body.

Xiao Xiao was somewhat embarrassed and nodded at Su Yi Cheng, and just answered, “Okay.”

Until the two of them disappeared into the crowd, he stared into the distance, unable to return to his senses.

Xiao Xiao delivered the chestnut flesh that she had just peeled to his mouth, her delicate voice came into his ears, “Mo Fei, eat the chestnuts, didn’t you want to eat this, it’s really delicious.”

Mo Fei then returned to his senses, coldly glanced at Xiao Xiao, reached out to pat her hand and coldly said, “After 0 don’t do such a senseless thing, otherwise, it will only let me hate you more.” After that, he didn’t look at her, and turned to leave.

Xiao Xiao’s hand tightened up, teeth tightly bit her lips, suddenly she only felt ridiculous, the scene just now seemed to be a sharp contrast. She and An Ran seemed to always be the opposite, she has Su Yi Cheng who squeezed into the crowd to get sweet corn, they were both women, but she had to go into the crowd to buy chestnuts, Gu An Ran has Su Yi Cheng who spoiled her and feared that she would burn herself and fed her the corn, while she had to personally peel the chestnut and hand it to a man who didn’t want it.

It was ridiculous to think about it. She knew why he had promised to be with her, but only for the reason that she had stolen the information from Huang De Xing behind his back, and then destroyed the evidence pertaining to Mo Fei and ‘Jing Cheng’, and felt that he owed her a personal favour.

Thinking of that, Xiao Xiao let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Standing in front of the guardrail on the dam of Qingjiang River, Su Yi Cheng held An Ran in front of him protectively. Feeling the night wind blowing across her face, listening to the whistle of the night ferry not too far away, the sound of laughter from the crowd around them, An Ran closed her eyes somewhat satisfied, gently sighed, “So good!”

Su Yi Cheng smiled, rested his chin on her shoulder, softly chuckled and asked, “What’s good?”

An Ran smiled and said, “A lot. You being here with me feels very good, having these children feels very good, shopping hand in hand like today also feels good, and so much more, all feels very good!”

Su Yi Cheng smiled but did not speak, but held her hand and hugged her tighter.

The two stood on the river for a while, also walked for a while, until An Ran felt sleepy, then the two decided to go back.

Today they walked for quite a bit, Su Yi Cheng, considerate that it would tire her, went directly under the bridge and called a taxi, as for their own car they could only wait for tomorrow morning to get it.

Taking a stroll for the entire day today, An Ran was really tired, when she got into the taxi, she leaned against SU Yi Cheng and slowly fell asleep.

Su Yi Cheng took off his coat and put it on her, then softly whispered to the driver, “Shi fu*, drive slowly, do not rush, steady is good.”

*respectful form of address for older men

The driver smiled and nodded. He smiled through the rear-view mirror and said, “Young man, you really know how to love your wife.”

Su yi Cheng smiled, looked down at An Ran. He helped her brush her fringe to the side, and only faintly said, “We should love our wives.”

The driver smiled and nodded. Looking at the rear-view mirror, these two people felt a little familiar, seems to have seen somewhere, but for a time could not remember. Half with doubt he asked, “Where have I seen you?”

Su Yi Cheng just smiled, did not speak, holding An Ran, he let her sleep more calmly in his arms.

Until the car slowly stopped at the door of their complex, An Ran did not wake up. Su Yi Cheng also did not intend to wake her up. He paid the fare, directly held An Ran ready to get off.

The driver saw the situation and hurried out of the car to open the door for them. Under the street lamp, Su Yi Cheng carried An Ran out of the car, the driver then saw Su Yi Cheng more clearly, suddenly remembered the newspaper he saw a few days ago, somewhat exclaimed, “Oh, I remember now, you, you are Mayor Su!”

Su Yi Cheng looked down at An Ran, saw that she had not woken up, only then did he smile at the driver and looked at him, slightly nodded, and whispered, “Small voice.”

The driver only then reacted. He smiled awkwardly, busily nodded, “Yes, I’m sorry, I was excited, I’ve read the newspaper that day.”

Su Yi Cheng smiled, looked at his eyes, just said, “Then, I will go first and bring my wife in.”

The driver nodded, “Yes yes yes.”

As Su Yi Cheng was carrying An Ran and just entered the hall, from behind the driver quickly called out, “Mayor Su, wait a minute.”

Su Yi Cheng turned to look at him puzzled, only to see him somewhat breathless running his way, and then quickly took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over, smiled and said, “Mayor Su, this is my business card, if you ever need to go somewhere where it’s inconvenient to drive, you can call me directly, I am usually driving at 2 o’clock at night, of course, I will give you a 70% discount.” As he said that, he also simply scratched his head.

Su Yi Cheng took the business card and smiled and nodded, “Okay, next time I need a ride I’ll call you.”

“Yes.” The driver nodded, “Then, I won’t bother you, Mayor Su. Good bye.” He said that and left.

Su Yi Cheng smiled and shook his head, then turned around and headed toward the elevator.

When Su Yi Cheng placed An Ran on the bed, as if suddenly feeling something less because of the lack of Su Yi Cheng’s embrace, just as she lied down, her eyelids moved, and her eyes slowly opened.

Just waking up, her eyes were somewhat hazy. Seeming to not see the surrounding environment, she tightly grasped Su Yi Cheng’s hand, and bewilderedly and cutely asked, “Where are we?”

Su Yi Cheng reached out to touch her face, and said with a faint smile, “We’re home.”

Hearing that, An Ran seemed to try to open her eyes to the surrounding environment. Recognizing that this is indeed their room, and that she is lying in their big bed at the moment, she frowned and said, “I got in the car and fell asleep ah!” She just remembered them stopping the car, sitting there and said that they were going home, and then she just felt that her eyelids were heavy, and then her consciousness slowly blurred, and then she doesn’t remember anything after that.

“En.” Su Yi Cheng replied softly, he soothed and said, “Sleep for a while, you didn’t sleep for that long.” It was only a half hour ride.

‘Grumble grumble…’ This time An Ran did not open her mouth, but her stomach was the first to respond. Today she didn’t actually eat much, although she ate a lot of roadside snacks, but not enough to fill up the stomach.

“Your two little lovers are hungry.” An Ran muttered. Being with him for this long, there are some things where there was no need for consideration, that was natural. Of course, if it was another party, An Ran estimates that she would burst into a red face, but since she was just with Su Yi Cheng, she was natural.

Su Yi Cheng chuckled and shook his head, helped her to sit up and said, “You go wash up, I will make you a late-night snack.”

“Okay.” An Ran nodded. She got up and took a change of clothes from the closet, then went into the bathroom.

Su Yi Cheng got up and went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator to see what he could make. Because Auntie Zhang would go the market every day to go buy fresh ingredients, and the daily ingredients are basically only enough for the day, then tomorrow she would go buy another kind. Since today Auntie Zhang did not come to work, there was not much in the fridge, only a few tomatoes, and a few eggs.

Looking at these things, Su Yi Cheng suddenly felt that he and An Ran seemed to have a special fate for the same few things. He chuckled and took out the tomatoes and eggs, washed them and then began to prepare.

He opened the cabinet door ready to take out the noodles, when at this time his cell phone started to ring. He did not really look at the call, and directly picked up, “Hello, who is it?” With the other hand he took the noodles out of the cupboard and prepared to boil the noodles.

“It’s me.” It was a woman’s voice, gentle and soft with resentment.

Hearing that, Su Yi Cheng frowned. He paused, then looked at the screen. His first guess was not wrong, that frown frowned even more. His voice went cold to minus 12 degrees, and coldly said, “Is there something?”

There was some contemptuous smile from the other side of the phone, and the tone was a little weird, “I can’t call you unless there’s something? We once dated, even though it was long ago, you can’t deny that we were real, can you?”

Su Yi Cheng’s frown didn’t even drop, not even bothering to reply, he just took the phone off his ear, and hung up. Now he has no time to listen to her, anyways, one cannot go back into the past, whether they were real or not in the past does not matter now, especially affections, it is impossible to turn back and go back, call him strict, he will not forgive betrayal.

He turned the stove on again, waited for the water to boil. The phone that he had just hung up started to ring again less than a dozen second later, still Ling Ran. Su Yi Cheng frowned, reached out and refused the call, this time he doesn’t even feeling like picking it up.

She seemed to be even more patient than him, she dialed again and again, as if she were really going to dial until he picked up.

Hanging up three more times, on the fourth call, Su Yi Cheng directly turned off the stove. Not waiting for Ling Ran to speak, he directly said, “Ling Ran, what’s the point of being like this?”

On the other side of the phone, Ling Ran sneered and accused, “Oh, Su Yi Cheng, I’ve become like this because of you! If it hadn’t been for you—”

Su Yi Cheng did not wait for her to finish, and directly interrupted her, “If you insist on calling to tell me about the old memories of the past, then there is no need, I do not want to listen, and please understand, it was you who betrayed me in the first place!”

He had always considered himself a traditional man, his attitude towards feelings is even more traditional, he can love a person wholeheartedly, maybe when he is busy he will be neglectful, but when he loves a person then his entire heart belongs to that person, he would not give another woman a chance, that is his attitude towards love, but also the same, if he decided to let go, then he will also be very decisive, not dragging mud with water, this is what he thinks is the best way to reduce injury, towards yourself and to others.

“Hehe.” Ling Ran sneered, and just said, “Fine, I won’t talk about the past. Our Ling family and your Su family can be considered as friends.”

“If this is what you want to talk about, then I only have one thing to say, if you don’t provoke me I won’t provoke you!” He didn’t think about giving Ling Chuan Jiang an opportunity, but he shouldn’t have gone after An Ran, since he did, he didn’t have anything to say about feelings, because the first person to tear off the face is them!

“Do you really have to do such a thing!” Never even gave his father a second chance, even sending him to prison!

“Did I wrongly accuse him?” Su Yi Cheng asked rhetorically. He wouldn’t wrongly accuse another person without any evidence, all the evidence he gathered were the truth, each can find the corresponding time and situation, none were falsified.

“But you—” Ling Ran seemed like she wanted to say something, but Su Yi Cheng was now impatient, only said, “Look what you have done to others, don’t think that others owe you anything. I won’t answer your call again.” After he was done, he hung up the phone. He reached up and massaged his sore brows, and threw the phone aside.

When An Ran came out of the bathroom, Su Yi Cheng happened to be pouring the soup onto the noodles.

An Ran saw that, and smiled, “Ha, that’s my specialty noodle.”

Su Yi Cheng pinched her nose, let her sit on the high chair, and then handed her the chopsticks and spoon, and sat down opposite her, “It’s a little hot, eat slowly.”

“Sure.” An Ran nodded while holding a spoon of soup. Then her expression turned heavy, and then holding the noodles with her chopsticks, blew on it, then put it into her mouth, only to see that her expression turned heavier.

Su Yi Cheng had seen her not so great complexion, wrinkled, lowered his head to eat a mouthful. The taste was good, it shouldn’t be a problem!

He also added eggs and tomatoes, this time, An Ran’s face sunk, she looked at Su Yi Cheng, a face of grievance, bitter face, as if she were about to cry.

Su Yi Cheng hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter, no appetite?”

Only to see An Ran shake her head innocently, and muttered, “It’s you, why did you make this noodle, now when I make noodles it wouldn’t be as a good as your’s, what am I supposed to make from now on!”

Su Yi Cheng was taken aback for a moment. A while later does he come up with a reaction, with a big smile he reached out to rub her head, dotingly said, “Fool.”

“I’ve decided, starting tomorrow, I must learn to cook with Auntie Zhang!” An Ran said with a serious face, as if she had made a firm decision.

Su Yi Cheng just laughed, and didn’t comment.

After eating and drinking their fill, Su Yi Cheng grabbed a pair of clothes and went to the bathroom to shower, while An Ran returned to bed. Because she had slept a little while ago, she wasn’t that tired now, so she grabbed a magazine by the bedside, browsing leisurely.

But she doesn’t know what was happening, she doesn’t know how to put these two legs so that it is comfortable, it feels like something was pressing on them, it was aching and sore.

When Su Yi Cheng came out of the bathroom, only to see An Ran half-sitting with her hands pinching her feet, pinching to the point her hands were tired.

He wiped his hair dry with a dry towel, then put the towel aside, sat beside her and asked, “What’s going on?” As he said that, he raised her feet and put it on top of his thighs.

An Ran frowned, somewhat distressed said, “My legs are a little sore.”

Su Yi Cheng smiled, pulled her hand, and his large hands started to take over her work, while laughing he said, “You walked the whole day, of course it’ll be sore, and you are pregnant.”

“I’m only four months.”

Su Yi Cheng pinched her feet to relieve the soreness on her feet, and said, “But you are pregnant with twins ah, the doctor also said, you have the stomach of 6 months compared to others.”

“What to do, I also asked Lin Li to look for a photo studio!” An Ran mumbled, she wanted to take a beautiful picture!

“It’s alright, let’s take the baby with us. “Su Yi Cheng said with comfort.

An Ran was suddenly silent and did not speak, but just stared straight at him.

Su Yi Cheng asked hilariously, “What’s wrong?”

An Ran mumbled, looked at him and asked, “Do you think I’m getting ugly after getting pregnant?” After getting pregnant, she couldn’t help but think about a lot of nonsense, she felt like she was quickly becoming someone not like herself.

Su Yi Cheng smiled, let go of her legs, and then sat over, put her in his arms, and smiled, “Fool, what are you thinking of, my wife is still as beautiful as before.”

“No way, I’m obviously much fatter than before!” She knew that he was just coaxing her, she had just looked in the mirror when she took a bath, and felt that her body was a lot fatter, nothing like before.

“Really.” Su Yi Cheng nodded heavily, “I think you’re prettier than before, and I like the way your body feels.” He said. The hand began to wander around her.

“You! You scoundrel!” An Ran took his hand and slapped it away, the entire person was now in his attention, she was watching out for his unruly hand.

Su Yi Cheng chuckled into her ears, somewhat evilly said, “I like you now, because here is also bigger.” Speaking, he reached out and covered her chest.

An Ran’s face burst red, and slapped his hand, “You scoundrel!”
