153. Acting spoiled



After dinner An Ran listened to her belly and walked around the courtyard. Qin Yi and Auntie were still in the kitchen tidying up, she wanted to help them, but Qin Yi had driven her out. Father Su and Grandfather Su said that they had not played chess recently, so the two are now playing in the study, it appears that the game is deadlocked.

Yi Jiao and Johnson seemed to be quite affectionate, after dinner they said they were going to take a walk, holding hands sweetly. An Ran always felt that there was something off between them, but she can’t say what, only felt that it was a bit strange.

Following the garden path, in October, the sun sets earlier. It was only six o’clock, the sky is already black, if not for the streetlights, if she held her hand out she guesses she wouldn’t be able to see it. A burst of the evening wind blew past her, moving the tall and straight Wu Tong Tree outside, the leaves rustled, An Ran suddenly felt a chill. She reached out and rubbed her arm, today there was no one who will take off their coat and drape it on her shoulders.

Father Su gave the order that until he settled the matter he was not allowed to come back. Recalling father Su’s discipline yesterday, whip after whip, she started to feel hurt. She chatted with Qin Yi earlier, it turns out things have always been this way in this family, make an error naturally there is punishment, punish severely, do a good job there is a reward. Although somewhat Spartan, but one can’t deny that this kind of iron fist education can teach such an outstanding Su Yi Cheng.

The success of the family’s upbringing is not due to the family law, but in the direction and attitude of facing such problems. In the morning chat with Qin Yi she found out that yesterday father Su and grandfather Su were angry not because of the misunderstanding between Su Yi Cheng and Ling Ran, but were angry because these things could clearly be avoidable, Su Yi Cheng fell into a hole drilled by others, angry that he allowed his family members to be dragged into the misunderstanding and other people’s peculiar gaze, angry that he did not do his best to protect his family.

In fact, she should feel lucky, she not only has a very good and loving husband, but also a pair of very open-minded and unbiased in-laws.

Her belly was suddenly kicked by the little baby inside, bringing her spirit back to Earth. She looked down at the bulging belly, the corner of her mouth unconsciously rose into a smile. She reached out and gently covered it, suddenly thought of something, that hand supporting her belly suddenly paused, frowned, and reached into her pockets to take out her cell phone. Just as she was about to give a certain person a call, it seems like a certain person had the same thought, as her phone rang at this time. An Ran looked at the name on the caller display, the corner of her mouth had a small smile, reached out and directly pressed answer, smiled and said, “I was just thinking of calling you, and you called.”

On the other side of the call, Su Yi Cheng also smiled, just said, “Is this considered telepathy?”

“Nonsense, not with you.” An Ran smiled sweetly, did not want to admit it, kicking a little stone to the side.

“Hehe.” Su Yi Cheng chuckled softly over the phone, then asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

“En, I’ve eaten.” An Ran nodded, holding the phone she asked back, “What about you?”

“No.” Su Yi Cheng also did not know whether it was intentional, but that tone sounded a little lonely.

An Ran frowned, somewhat unhappily said, “Su Yi Cheng, are you a child, don’t you know you should eat when it’s dinner time, you foolish!” This man is really, every time when she isn’t by his side he wouldn’t have a regular meal, no wonder he has such superior culinary skills, yet he tires his stomach down like a honeycomb.

She gravely said, “You are not allowed to behave this way, quickly go and eat!”

Completely ignoring her words, Su Yi Cheng said with pity in his voice, “An Ran, I miss you, what to do?”

An Ran was in a good mood and laughed, Su Yi Cheng, are you acting spoiled?”

“En.” Su Yi Cheng replied naturally, and did not feel embarrassed at all, just said, “I am acting spoiled with you so you can let me see you?”

An Ran laughed and started walking forward, along the mud wall, looking at the roadside flowers, the orange street lights reflected on the small flowers on the road looking particularly beautiful, she jested, “Student Su Yi Cheng, we just saw each other 10 hours ago, didn’t we?”

“It has been 11 hours and 25 minutes.” Su Yi Cheng accurately reported the numbers, as if he had been counting the time.

“Oh yes.” An Ran smiled, really defeated by him. She stopped to look at the streetlights in the distance, and said, “So I’ll come to you?” In fact, she also missed him, quietly missed him.

Su Yi Cheng refused and said, “No, I don’t feel assured with you going alone, also our baby.”

“So what do we do?” An Ran smiled and asked. She liked it when they both chatted like this, small ambiguous emotions, there was a feeling of sweetness and romance. Thinking of that, suddenly a cool wind blew over. “Ah choo.” Her entire person quivered, had a good sneeze, reached out to pinch her nose, really was somewhat cold, even was getting a runny nose.

“Are you getting a cold?”

Not sure if it was an illusion, An Ran suddenly felt that Su Yi Cheng’s voice was somewhat close, as if within arm’s reach, and not across the invisible airwaves a thousand miles away. She smiled and shook her head, wiped her nose, and said, “No, the wind outside is a little cold.” In the past he was always around her, and then always in a time when she felt cold he’d add another layer or give her a warm hug, sometimes the more subtle things are easier to get used to, because she was used to being taken care of by him, so now that he is not around, she forgot how to take care of herself.

Suddenly a warm suit was draped over her shoulder, and then she fell into a warm embrace. A familiar sound came into her ears, “Fool, why did you come out with so little clothing.”

An Ran somewhat dismayed looked back, to face a handsome face in front of her, for a while she could not come up with a reaction.

Su Yi Cheng smiled, bowed his head and kissed her half-open mouth, said, “Fool, did you forget your own husband?”

An Ran then returned to her senses, reached out, touched his face, to make sure that the temperature on his face was true, somewhat surprised asked, “How are you here?”

Su Yi Cheng smiled, hugged her more tightly, and said, “I told you, I missed you.” Letting him face these four walls alone, he is clearly aware of her absence, that was simply one type of torture, he was suffering so much, that even though his father ordered him not to return to the courtyard until everything was settled, he couldn’t help but come back, thinking at best he would just endure some more whippings, that was nothing. He was a grown man, he could just clench his teeth, and anyway it was not like he had never been hit before.

Looking at him, she really wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say, only saw that his hair was blown a little messy, sighed, reached out for his hair to tidy it, and then stood on her tiptoe and kissed his lips, then watched him smile.

Su Yi Cheng also looked at her, his eyes burning, with a serious face he said, “You look at me like that again, I think you are inviting me to let me kiss you.”

Hearing that, An Ran blushed, then glared at him, and coquettishly said, “Hoodlum.” Then she turned her back on him peeved.

Su Yi Cheng laughed out loud, then put his chin on her shoulder, hands tightly around her big belly, his palms slowly caressed her big belly back and forth, the direction of his caress seemed to be pacifying the two little ones.

“Didn’t Dad say he couldn’t let you come over? Why did you come back.” Learning against his chest, An Ran asked with a smile.

“My wife and children are here, how could I stay at another place, obviously I need to come here, at worst I’ll just be whipped again, anyway a man needs to have tough skin, afterwards you can just apply ointment on me, that’ll be good.” Su Yi Cheng said casually.

Hearing that, An Ran turned back, glared at him, and said, “I don’t want to apply that unpleasant thing again.” She just didn’t want to see him get whipped so much again by father Su, thinking of all the horror, last night when she applied that ointment she felt a special pain, she does not want to feel that kind of pain again.

Su Yi Cheng smiled and hugged her as he stepped forward, nodded, and said, “Well, then I’ll wait to find my father and beg, ask him to not whip me today, after all I am his son.”

An Ran laughed at his words, she did not believe that he would put down his body to beg other people, also did not believe that father Su will easily give in to others begging. Speaking of that thing, she suddenly remembered that she had just wanted to call him to ask this matter, stopped her steps, turned to look at him and asked, “I want to ask you, if our babies make a mistake, would you handle them with your family discipline the same way dad does it?” If he did, then she would definitely hide that family law, although they say the stick yields filial children, but getting her to watch him use that whip to beat her babies, she was reluctant, even more, heart-wrenching ah.

“No.” Su Yi Cheng almost did not want to deny directly, said, “I will not use the family law, even if she made a mistake.” The tone was positive, there is no doubt about it.

An Ran was somewhat surprised, asked, “Why?”

Su Yi Cheng looked at her, with a serious face said, “Girls are a treasure, is supposed to be loved, how can I hit, girls are supposed to be pampered, not to be hit.”

An Ran was surprised, took a while to respond, only then she remembered that he had always believed that she was carrying a girl. Laughing, she shook her head, she has to sing the opposite tune with him and ask, “What if it’s a boy?”

Hearing that, Su Yi Cheng frowned, somewhat annoyed, looked at her face with a serious expression and said, “It’s definitely a girl!”

An Ran really was helpless with his prejudice, and said, “I said if, if it’s a boy, you would hit?”

He didn’t even have to think about it, and said, “Hit.” Then he added, “It must be a girl no if’s!”

An Ran glared at him in jest, wrinkled her nose, poked his chest and said, “Paranoid.”

Su Yi Cheng laughed and hugged her as she continued to walk forward, following behind her.
