150. Yi Jiao’s Boyfriend



Taking off the shirt he was wearing, his back had been covered with red marks, some were even seeping blood.

An Ran looked, and couldn’t help but tear up. She gently reached out, only to hear Su Yi Cheng inhale sharply as she touched his back.

“It hurts, doesn’t it?” An Ran asked, her tone carried a sobbing tone, it definitely hurt, she saw father Su raise his hand and let the long whip drop, each lash struck powerfully, not at all lenient.

“It doesn’t hurt.” Su Yi Cheng gritted his teeth and shook his head, because he didn’t want her to worry.

“Knock knock knock…” Outside the door Qin Yi knocked on the door and saw the wound on her son’s back, frowning with pain. Looking at the crying An Ran at the side, she suddenly let out a funny laugh, and handed An Ran the safflower oil in her hands, said, “Come, before when Ah Cheng was hit by his father it was I who gave him medicine, now, this job is handed over to you.”

An Ran reached for him, looked at Qin Yi and just said, “Thank you Mom.”

Qin Yi shook her head, turned her head to look at Su Yi Cheng and just said, “Ah Cheng, why didn’t you clearly cut things off with Ling Ran!” She had always thought that her son was not a worrisome one, he had always handled things calmly and properly, did not worry his parents a bit, but she did not expect that in regards in Ling Ran, he still did not bury the hatchet even after this long, above it all even made it in the articles.

“I’ll take care of it.” Su Yi Cheng said with confidence.

Qin Yi glanced at him, did not say more, only nodded, and turned out of the room.

An Ran poured the safflower oil to her hands, rubbed out the heat and then covered it on Su Yi Cheng’s back, kneading with force.

Su Yi Cheng just gritted his teeth, the hand on his lap was held into a tight fist.

Did not know how long, behind those small hands she was slowly losing power. He then turned his head, it turns out An Ran had been crying since.

Su Yi Cheng shook his head and laughed, reached for her into his arms, let her rest her head on his chest, hand gently caressed her head, “Fool, what are you crying for.”

An Ran reached out and held him tightly, also did not speak, only shook her head in his arms, but the tears on her face was out of control, non-stop flowing down. She was distressed, very distressed.

Holding her, Su Yi Cheng gently said in her ear, “An Ran, as long as you believe me, this pain is nothing to me.”

Hearing that, An Ran quickly raised her head, looked up and said, “I believe, I believe you.” He was her husband, was the man she loved most, if she doesn’t believe him who should she believe. “Although we have not known each other for long, but I feel that you are good to me, I feel your heart and love, I have never doubted you, as long as you tell me, as long as you explain to me, I believe what you tell me as truth.”

Su Yi Cheng gently smiled, again reached for her into his arms, only whispered in her ear and said, “Whatever the wife is, the husband will follow.”

An Ran reached out slowly, and hugged him back.

“An Ran, rest assured that I’ll fix this.” In her ears, Su Yi Cheng promised that as a husband and as a father, he should take the necessary responsibility for the family to protect his family from outside interference.

“I believe you.” An Ran replied, her tone without a hint of questioning.

The two hugged for a while, and were heard by the movement outside the door, they seemed to hear Su Yi Jiao’s voice.

An Ran opened the door ready to go out, just as Su Yi Jiao was about to knock on the door. Luckily Su Yi Cheng had quick eyes, pulled An Ran back, and fortunately did not get knocked by Su Yi jiao.

Su Yi Jiao looked at Su Yi Cheng, and directly asked, “Brother, what is going on with those videos and photos!” She was shocked when she saw the news this morning, and came back after buying a ticket.

“It’s nothing, that video was man made.” Su Yi Cheng just said faintly.

“It was Ling Ran, heng, I should have known she wasn’t easy to deal with!” Su Yi Jiao said somewhat bitterly. She never liked Ling Ran, ever since she was little that woman acted like two different people in front of her brother and Zhou Han. She hated fake people like that the most. If her guess was correct, those photos and video was put up by Ling Ran! She raised her head and asked, “Brother, if it’s inconvenient for you I can help you find that woman and talk to her?”

“There’s no need, I will handle this matter.” Su Yi Cheng declined. His family discipline was not for no reason, he gave others the opportunity to frame him, he naturally wants to let that person to find out, this matter will only happen once, absolutely not a second time, don’t think he will let her get away with it again and again.

Su Yi Jiao only then returned to her senses, saw the man coming up behind her, smiled and said, “Right, see how anxious I was I forgot to introduce you guys.” She pulled over the man by the hand and said, “I will introduce to you, Johnson these two handsome and beautiful woman are my brother and sister-in-law, brother, sister-in-law, this is my boyfriend, Johnson.” Su Yi Jiao simply made an introduction to a few people, then somewhat cutely leaned onto that blonde haired handsome Johnson and smiled happily and sweetly.

The blonde handsome man called Johnson looked at Su Yi Cheng and An Ran, put on a big smile, followed Yi Jiao and said very affectionately, “Brother, sister-in-law.” His American accent made his mandarin sound strange.

Su Yi Cheng and An Ran exchanged looks with each other, then turned their heads, and just smiled and said hello to the blonde handsome man, “Hello.”

“Brother was the main character of that video, I saw that video this morning, wow, brother’s body is very good, that movement was also very strong!” The blonde man looked at Su Yi Cheng and said with some excitement.

Several people present looked sombre, the atmosphere immediately became strange.

“Brother, you teach me a few tricks, I think—Ow!” Hadn’t even finished speaking, only saw the blonde handsome guy holding his feet, wailing, looking somewhat aggrieved at Su Yi Jiao, and protested, “Xiao Jiao, why are you stepping on my foot!”

Su Yi jiao only gave him a stern look, turned to smile awkwardly at Su Yi Cheng and An Ran, laughing, “He, he’s American, you, you guys know the American mind, their thoughts are a little open, they will say anything, and do not avoid taboo, hehehe, don’t, don’t mind ha.” As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Johnson aside and signalled him to leave.

This Johnson had only studied Chinese a year ago, can only communicate simply. His ability to understand slightly deeper words is completely impossible, and still spoke a little strangely. Although he did not understand 80% of what Yi Jiao had just said, and just saw that she was incessantly pulling him, he was completely clueless as to what she was suggesting, and just asked puzzled, “Xiao Jiao, what’s wrong with your eye? Is it a fly?”

Su Yi Jiao was a little angry, lifted her feet with those high-heels and heavily stepped on his feet, and then somewhat angrily turned and walked away, not caring about him.

“Ow, ow…” That Johnson that got trampled only screamed, even innocently wondered what he said wrong to be trampled like that.

An Ran and Su Yi Cheng looked at each other, and both raised their eyebrows.

That evening because Su Yi Cheng, An Ran and the others all came back, the rarely lively compound become lively. Qin Yi and auntie rushed to the vegetable market to buy a good variety of ingredients before Su Yi Cheng arrived for his punishment, and prepared a rich dinner.

Of course, there must be punishment, do wrong needs punishment, and naturally do right must praise.

Since Su Yi Jiao brought her boyfriend home, Qin Yi was very satisfied with this. Although she minded about the status at first, but his lame English, thoroughly made her laugh, for that her mind naturally changed for the better, even thought the way he spoke was particularly funny.

At the dinner table, Qin Yi kept giving the blond handsome guy food, and then when she tries to talk to him he does not understand the meaning of the words, but the two seemed to be particularly happy.

Su father and Grandfather Su have no opinion on the blonde boyfriend who Su Yi Jiao brought back, only said that as long as she likes him, because after all they are the ones in each other’s life, whether other people like them together or not does not matter.

An Ran looked at Su Yi Jiao and always felt that something was fishy. She doesn’t think that the person who Yi Jiao had been crying over a few days ago would change their mind in such a short period, and then in such a short period of time transfer their feelings to another person.

After dinner An Ran and Su Yi Cheng hand in hand walked around the compound. October night was somewhat cool, the wind had a silky chill. An Ran was a little cold, could not help but reach for his arms.

Su Yi Cheng naturally noticed, took off his coat and put it directly on her.

An Ran turned her head, just faintly smiled at him. There was need to say thank you or such, there was that kind of tacit understanding. Su Yi Cheng opened his arms, and then she leaned directly into his arms, between the two people there was no need for extra words.

“Yi Cheng, do you think Yi Jiao did it on purpose?” An Ran asked gently.

Su Yi Cheng hugged her shoulder and just said, “She is no longer a child, and is responsible for her own actions.”

An Ran did not speak again, just faintly nodded.

First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 149 Translation

149. Family Discipline


Su Yi Cheng brought An Ran in a different car to avoid those reporters’ eyes and ears to leave their compound.

When An Ran and Su Yi Cheng drove to the military compound, the sky was almost dark. It had been nearly two months since they came to the compound, the attendant changed, no longer Xiao Zhang, but a boy bigger than Xiao Zhang, who seemed to be about the same age as Xiao Zhang. He was not like the former Xiao Zhang who would smile brightly and call them brother, sister-in-law, but was very standard and saluted respectfully, with a little shy smile.

Su Yi Cheng and An Ran both returned a very gentle smile to him, then went straight into the compound.

Holding Su Yi Cheng’s hand, An Ran looked at him, her mind feeling a little afraid, worriedly asked, “Ah Cheng, did your parents call you back because of that thing with the video and photo?

Su Yi Cheng nodded back and gave her a faint smile, softly responding, “En.”

An Ran did not think much, just followed in with Su Yi Cheng.

In the hall, the atmosphere was a little wrong. Grandpa Su sat in the master chair, father Su sat on the side, Qin Yi stood aside, watching them come in, the expression on their face was somewhat amiss.

“Grandpa, dad, mom, we’re back.” Su Yi Cheng took An Ran’s hand and greeted everyone.

An Ran also echoed back, “Grandpa, father, mother.”

Grandpa Su and father Su did not open their mouths, eyes straight on at Su Yi Cheng, while Qin Yi at the side, looked at them with a wink in her eyes, as if she were suggesting something. That hand, incessantly waved them over.

An Ran did not understand, looked at Qin Yi with confusion, and turned to look at Su Yi Cheng, not quite understanding what Qin Yi was hinting at.

Not waiting for An Ran think more about it, father Su at the side began to say, “Qin Yi, go scoop up the stuff.” His voice was still calm, but not as gentle as before.

Qin Yi smiled awkwardly and turned her head, looked at Su Wen Qing and smiled, “Let’s, let’s not, you’ll scare An Ran.”

Su Wen Qing’s expression turned darker, his tone becoming stern, “Go!”

Qin Yi was helpless, could only turn around and go into the house.

An Ran was taken aback, somewhat frightened by Su Wen Qing’s stern tone, subconsciously tightened her grip on Su Yi Cheng’s hand.

Su Yi Cheng turned to look at her, could only faintly smile, reached out to pat her, and reassured her, “It’s all right.” He let her hands go, turned around to look at Su Wen Qing and Su Han Nian, and got down to his knees.

An Ran did not understand, looked at him then looked up at Su Wen Qing and Su Han Nian, asked in confusion, “Grandpa, dad, this is?”

Su Wen Qing glanced at An Ran, then said, “An Ran, you should stand aside."

“Dad—” An Ran wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Yi Cheng. “An Ran, listen to them.”

An Ran was helpless, could only nod, and stood to the side.

Qin Yi came out of the room with a whip and looked at Su Yi Cheng with a difficult expression.

An Ran looked at the whip in Qin Yi’s hand, and for a moment could not come up with a reaction.

Qin Yi held tightly onto the whip and refused to hand it over, but also wants to redeem something, looked at Su Wen Qing and said, “Old Su, see how big An Ran’s belly has gotten.”

Su Wen Qing took a look at An Ran, only spoke to Qin Yi with a cold voice, “Go bring An Ran into the room.” Then reached out and scooped the whip from Qin Yi’s hand.

Qin Yi was helpless, could only pull on An Ran’s hands and said, “An Ran, let’s go in first, let them talk for a bit first.” Saying that she pulled An Ran into the room.

An Ran was not rest assured, turned to look at Qin Yi, and said, “Mom, what’s going on?”

Qin Yi also turned back to look at Su Yi Cheng, seemed to have some difficulty in her heart, forced herself to turn back, and just said, “It, it’s nothing.”

An Ran although puzzled, could only follow Qin Yi into the house.

Only heard a crackling, and then with Su Yi Cheng’s stuffy groan, accompanied by father Su’s harsh questioning.

“Su Yi Cheng, didn’t I teach you this since you were little! You were actually captured on video and photos on the Internet, everyone has been coming over to ask me whether or not the person on the Internet was you, how do you think I should reply!” In the hall, father Su grabbed the whip and questioned.

Su Yi Cheng did not speak, only gritted his teeth and put up with the hot pain on his back, did not speak out.

Su Wen Qing raised his hand, raised the whip and let it drop onto Su Yi Cheng’s back, each time was full of strength. In the end he was a trained soldier, such a whip pumped onto Su Yi Cheng’s back, soon red dots started to appear across the white shirt.

Su Yi Cheng accepted each blow, teeth bite deeply into his lips, the hands that he placed on his legs were grasped very tightly, the veins on his hands were popping, appearing as if it were swollen, as if one weren’t careful it would burst.

An Ran ran back, only into the hall, saw Su Yi Cheng on the ground, and Su Wen Qing releasing such a whip on him.

“Don’t hit!” Crying out regardless of the heartless whip, she ran in front of Su Yi Cheng to block him.

Su Yi Cheng was startled and jumped back, hurried and protected An Ran, his back bore the whip again, he snorted out in pain.

On the side Su Wen Qing also quickly stopped the whip, Su Han Nian and Qin Yi also stood up nervously.

Seeing that An Ran was all right, they were then at ease, kept patting their chest.

In Su Yi Cheng’s embrace, An Ran looked straight at Su Wen Qing, opened his mouth and said, “Dad, stop hitting, what did Yi Cheng do wrong, what are you doing this for!”

"An Ran, you can withdraw, I’m fine.” Su Yi Cheng hugged An Ran and said with a serious tone. When his mother called him to ask them to come back, he already knew that he could not escape this whip. 

“I don’t want to!” An Ran firmly refused, turned to look at Su Wen Qing with an insistent face and said, “Dad, no matter what you do, you have to give us a chance to explain it, you hitting so indiscriminately, they don’t even know what had happened!”

“He went behind your back and had those kind of videos and photos taken, what kind of explanation do I need!” Su Wen Qing said.

Hearing that, An Ran quickly explained, “It’s not his fault, Yi Cheng explained to me, that video was fake, and there’s an explanation for that photo.”

“It doesn’t matter whether that video was fake or not, and no matter if photo is fake or for any other reason, he married you, he must take on the family responsibility, now that you have children, are more responsible for their own behaviour, for the future, in front of the children, to set an example and be responsible!” Su Wen Qing seriously said, his voice was not loud, but the tone was certainly strong, he looked at An Ran and continued, “I hit him, because he was wrong to let someone else create such a misunderstanding, should not give others an opportunity to frame him, and furthermore for not ending things from the past and dragging mud into the water, thus hurting their own family!” He naturally is well aware of his own son, in regards to the photo and video he does not have to look at it and conclude that Su Yi Cheng will not do such a thing, but he should not give others such a chance, should also not be involved with Ling Ran. He was no longer just one person, he has a wife, and in a few months there will be children, so to be entangled with Ling Ran, even if they were innocent, but look at the spot they would put An Ran in!

An Ran looked at him, somewhat speechless. She had thought father Su had misunderstood the video and photos, but did not expect that he hit because Su Yi Cheng let this happen but did not deal with it.

“Su Yi Cheng, I said this, do you accept or not!” Su Wen Qing looked at Su Yi Cheng and asked.

Su Yi Cheng nodded and took the initiative to admit his mistake, “This is a matter that I did not deal with well!” Looking back now, in fact, it could have been completely avoided, but he did not guard against it, and did not think completely, that was why he fell into the trap.

“Enough, enough, you’ve already hit, Ah Cheng also knows it was wrong, let’s just let it be, let Ah Cheng deal with this matter.” Qin Yi timely inserted herself, reached over Su Wen Qing’s hands and took over the whip.

Su Wen Qing gave her a glance, don’t think that he doesn’t know, An Ran coming back, in such a rushed manner, it must have been her idea.

Qin Yi just did not see his condemning eyes, from the beginning did not turn her head to meet his eyes. Ah Cheng is her son, as the saying goes, beating the child gives the mother heartache, watching her son beaten whip by whip, how could she not be distressed.

“Get up.” Su Han Nian, who has not opened his mouth, finally spoke. He looked at Su Yi Cheng, and turned his head to look at Qin Yi, only said, “Go and take my safflower oil and dab it on him.” After saying nothing more, he turned and went straight into the house.

Su Wen Qing looked at Su Yi Cheng, and said, “Deal with this matter as soon as possible. Before you finish handling it, An Ran will stay here.” After that, he turned around and went directly toward the study.

Qin Yi whispered a few words before Su Wen Qing turned around to leave, then looked at Su Yi Cheng and said with pity, “This old Su, he does not have such a heavy hand with his soldiers, not to mention you are his own son!” Saying that, she looked at his back that was a little red, eyes got red, and finally said, “I’ll go get Grandpa’s safflower oil.”

An Ran supported Su Yi Cheng, naturally also saw the bright red printed across his white shirt. Her eyes could not help but water up, eyes full of tears, and then like a broken line of pearls, gently rolling down and falling. As he watched her Su Yi Cheng felt heartache, reached out and wiped her tears, “Silly, why are you crying.”

An Ran stifled, and asked, “Was that just now family discipline?” She has never seen such a scene, before at home where her parents were angry they had never beat her, would always explain to her with reason, analyse the cause and so on, this was the first time for her to see such disciplinary action.

“Yes, that is how we discipline family.” Su Yi Cheng nodded and endured the sting behind it.

“It hurts, doesn’t it?” An Ran touched his back gently, only to see his whole body was shaking, clearly he was in a lot of pain.

Seeing her concern, Su Yi Cheng struggled to give her a terse smile, and said, “I’m okay, really.”

An Ran could see the cold sweat on his forehead, she knew that his back was giving him a lot of hardship, only said, “Let’s go back into the house, wait for mother to bring the medicine oil, I’ll apply it for you.”

Su Yi Cheng nodded, and walked with her into his former home.
