144. Scenes
The next day she woke up, Su Yi Cheng had already gotten out of bed. An Ran dazedly got up and washed her face, and when she opened the door Auntie Zhang had already came over. Apparently as she was waking up she had already gone to the market, and was now using the time to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Seeing that An Ran was up, she quickly washed her hands and said, “Madam, you’re up. I’ll warm up breakfast for you.”
An Ran sat in front of the bar, took the milk that Auntie Zhang had given her, and asked, “Did Yi Cheng make breakfast?”
“Yeah, I just came over in the morning when I met the mister as he was leaving. He was quite early, it was only 7 when he left, and even made breakfast.” Auntie Zhang said as she took out the breakfast that Su Yi Cheng made out of the microwave and carried it over to her.
An Ran smiled faintly, it was a satisfied happiness.
An Ran sat in the living room and watched TV, it was a cooking program. Meanwhile, Lin Li called her, and said that she wanted to take a walk with her. Hearing that, An Ran just shook her head, and said she had walked around the entire day yesterday with Su Yi Cheng, so her legs were still sore from that.
“Then come out and have a meal together, I haven’t seen you for so long, I want to rub my adopted son.” Lin Li said over the phone.
“Ha, then you come over, I’m at home.” An Ran smiled. Lin Li and Su Yi Cheng have opposite wishes. Lin Li has been insistent that she must have a son, while Su Yi Cheng must have a daughter. In fact, thinking about it made her laugh. Whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl was nothing she could control, it depends on fate. Actually if it were up to her, what she wants the most is one girl and one boy.
“Well you should come out, I, I have something I want to tell you.” Lin Li’s tone was a little strange, “I’ll wait until I’m in front of your house to pick you up, and I’ll call you.”
An Ran frowned, unconvincingly, and asked, “What is it, that I have to come out for you to tell me?”
“Ai ya, you’ll know by then.” Lin Li did not explain, and half-heartedly said, “Alright, I won’t speak anymore, let’s just leave it at that.” After she was done speaking she did not wait for An Ran to talk, and just hung up the phone.
“How strange.” An Ran looked at the phone and muttered a few words, then directly said to Auntie Zhang, “Auntie Zhang, don’t make lunch, I’m going out soon.”
“Oh, okay.” Auntie Zhang nodded and agreed.
When An Ran changed her clothes, Lin Li’s call just came in and said she was downstairs and she can just come down.
An Ran wore the maternity dress they bought last time. Originally she thought it would be a while until she wore it, did not expect to have twins, the stomach is double the average person’s.
When An Ran came down, only to see a red Audi parked at the community door. She did not know what series, but she still recognized those four circles.
Lin Li put down the window of the driver’s seat and smiled. An Ran stared incredulously, “Lin Li!”
Lin Li smiled guiltily, and said, “Get in the car.”
An Ran got in the car with doubt. She stared at her, and asked, “Where did you get the car?” Lin Li’s father’s illness cost the Lin family almost of the their savings, how in the world could Lin Li buy such a good car.
“Just wait.” Lin Li pouted her lips, and motioned her to look behind.
“What?” An Ran turned her head in disbelief, only to see a child in the back seat of the car, staring at her with round eyes. And she recognized that child, it was the child of Zhou Han family. She looked at the child with surprise and cried out, “Xiao Bin?”
The child did not speak, looked at her for a moment, then dropped his eyes, and continued to play with the Transformers in his hand.
An Ran turned her head, looked at Lin Li, face full of doubt, really did not know what is this situation.
“Well, let’s go the restaurant first.” Lin Li said and started the car.
In the car, An Ran knew that she shouldn’t say anything bad in front of the child, but she still can’t figure out how this Lin Li and Zhou Han’s child got to know each other. She felt the situation was really too strange, eyes straightly stared at Lin Li.
Lin Li felt unsettled being stared at, could only dryly smile, “Hehe, if you look at me like that I can’t really drive.”
“Heng, didn’t you say you would never drive?” An Ran said coldly.
Only to see Lin Li’s expression turn stiff, the hands grasping the steering wheel also tightened. She just fixedly looked at the front, and did not speak.
An Ran suddenly realized, and secretly scolded herself, clearly knew that it had hurt her, but also was committed to take this opportunity, and whispered apologetically, “I’m sorry.”
Lin Li just pulled a stiff smile, and did not speak, eyes only looked at the front.
The atmosphere in the car changed strangely, An Ran did not say anything more, only turned to look out of the window.
Lin Li parked her car in front of a KFC, turned to look at him and smiled, “Xiao Bin, we’re here.”
Hearing that Zhou Jia Bin turned to look out of the window, his eyes twinkling.
Lin Li turned to look at An Ran, and said with a faint smile, “He has always wanted to eat here, today I don’t have work, he also does not have school, so I promised him that we would come here.”
An Ran nodded, turned to look at the child, the corner of her mouth had a faint smile. In fact, she and this child have quite a fate.
The three got off, An Ran brought Xiao Bin to find a seat. Today was a holiday, so there was a lot of people inside this KFC, there were also a lot of children, running noisily, laughter, it was extremely boisterous.
An Ran held onto the child’s hand to find a place where there was a window seat. An Ran directly let the waiter pack the things up, and then with Xiao Bin sat him down and so on. Xiao Bin seemed to be more interested in the children’s activity area, eyes were glued to the side.
Lin Li had been waiting in line for a while, but the rice meal that she ordered for An Ran was not ready yet, so she had to wait for a little longer.
Xiao Bin saw his beloved hamburger and French fries. His eyes lit up brightly, but still cleverly. He turned to look at Lin Li, and since Lin Li did not give him permission he did not move.
Lin Li touched his head, unwrapped the hamburger, and handed it to him, laughing and saying, “Come on, eat slowly.”
With permission, the little guy only took the hamburger and took a big bite, not afraid of it being hot, his eyebrows bent, eating happily.
An Ran looked at the child, then turned to look at Lin Li, and asked, “Say it, what’s going on?”
Lin Li turned her head, looked at An Ran, and said straightly, “I got married to Zhou Han some time ago.”
“What!” An Ran yelled out, her eyes got even wider, that expression could scare a person.
The little guy in front of them was also startled, the whole person was shaken down. He stared at An Ran, not even eating the hamburger.
“Oh, An Zi, can’t you tone down your reaction a little bit!” Lin Li did not look good, and then hurriedly turned around and patted Xiao Bin’s back, and said, “It’s nothing, keep eating Xiao Bin, drink some coke, don’t just eat hamburgers.” Sayng that, she handed him the coke.
The little guy looked at An Ran, seemed a little frightened.
An Ran also knew that she had scared him, and just smiled awkwardly, trying to make her expression not too serious. The little guy seemed to calm down a bit, grabbed the burger and continued to eat.
After the child was calmed down, An Ran started to ask, “Why did you do that!”
Lin Li turned her head, looked at her. She had a bitter smile, and just said, “Actually it’s nothing much. It hurts too much to love a person, I have all my feelings to Cheng Xiang, and I found that I can’t love anymore. I do not want to love, but I also can’t not marry. Zhou Han also needed a wife, so we made a deal, he is still my boss, I am still his employee, he pays me, I just have to do my role well. It’s just a deal, nothing more.”
“Are you crazy?” An Ran couldn’t believe her, “Marriage is not a child’s play, how can you do this! Mother Lin and Father Lin want you start a relationship again, do you want to start like this? If they found out how hurt would they be!”
“Hehe.” Lin Li smiled and shook her head, looked at her and said, “An Ran, I’m just like you aren’t I? When you married Su Yi Cheng, was it not to forget Mo Fei?”
An Ran was stumped, unable to retort. She could not deny that originally the marriage was indeed as absurd as Lin Li’s reasons, but she was more fortunate. Meeting Su Yi Cheng, although their marriage had an abnormal start but they had a normal perfect ending. But is Zhou Han the same as Su Yi Cheng? Is Lin Li like her?”
“An Ran, I don’t want to talk or explain too much about this, you will certainly understand why I did this, so I don’t need to say any words of persuasion, I understand the reasoning, I even remembered I said the same thing to you before, ha ha.” Lin Li smiled a little bitterly.
Looking at her, she shook her head helplessly, sighed, and said, “I don’t know what to say to you.” Some things can only be understood through experienced. She knows that Lin Li is doing this wrong, but she does not know what to say, she understands Lin Li’s feelings and helplessness.
Lin Li smiled, and said lightly, “Oh, it’s nothing, I wasn’t worried about you, but seeing you now, after this long, you have become a mother, and then look at Su Yi Cheng, he treats you so well ah, you can’t guarantee that I won’t meet another Su Yi Cheng, right.”
An Ran glared at her, and said, “I better hope so!”
“Don’t worry, can’t you meet me!” Lin Li said relaxed, but did not want An Ran to worry about her.
An Ran looked into her eyes and did not speak.
“I’ll go and see if your meal is ready.” Lin Li got up and went to the counter.
An Ran and the little guy sat there. Watching him eat until his mouth was full of oil, she took a side of a paper towel and handed it over to him to wipe his face, “Come, let auntie wipe your mouth.”
The little guy obediently stopped his action, and let An Ran wipe away the oil around his mouth.
After wiping his mouth, An Ran put the tissue aside, smiled and touched his head, smiled and said, “It’s done.”
Only to see the little guy staring straight out of the window, his mouth murmured, “Mommy…”
An Ran frowned in doubt, turned her head and followed his gaze, only to see the street outside the window, a stopped vehicle because of the red light, that side was looking far away, only to see Ling Ran sitting in the passenger side, and she turned around at that moment. An Ran saw that the driver on the driver’s seat was obviously Su Yi Cheng.

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!”

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!”

First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 142 Translation
Previous Chapter
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.

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 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.”

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?”

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.

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

First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 140 Translation
Previous Chapter
140. Twins
The latest and fastest text version update is in the ‘Report on the Serious Violation of Ling Chuan Jiang’s Case’. On September 28, the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee decided to expel Ling Chuan Jiang from the party as well as from the public office, and its evidence about the criminal and criminal problems were transferred to the judicial officers for handling according to the law.
On the TV, the intellectual female anchor was broadcasting the latest news, her face looked calm and did not have too much expression.
An Ran turned off the TV with the remote, and saw the preview on the newspaper delivered this morning. Recently, the hot news in Jiang City seemed to be the Ling Chuan Jiang incident. Almost all the big papers were covering this, this incident has become the talk of the entire town of Jiang City.
An Ran does not care much about this. She just thinks that Su Yi Cheng’s work seemed to have become busier these days. There were countless dinner parties and countless nights out.
Getting up, a little bit uncomfortable, her stomach seemed to have grown suddenly in this half-month, and then it bulged. She was only less than 4 months, but to others it seemed like she was 5 months or so.
Auntie Zhang, who was wiping the tables and chairs, saw her get up and went up to help her. “Slow down, be careful.”
An Ran smiled helplessly. “Auntie Zhang, I am fine, don’t be so nervous.”
Auntie Zhang insisted on holding her up and then let go of her. Looking at her slightly oversized stomach, she couldn’t help but spit out, “Say, how is your stomach so big, when my daughter-in-law was pregnant, only at 6 months was she this big.”
An Ran only smiled, she didn’t understand either. Before Lin Li had joked that Su Yi Cheng gave her good meals, and the nutrition was too good, so that’s why this three-month stomach become a stomach that would be 5 or 6 months to others. An Ran turned so red. In fact, she also felt that her nutrition was too rich. Both mothers were very kind to her. Today, Qin Yi sent her chicken soup, and tomorrow, Lin Xiao Fen will send pigeon soup. Anyway, the two alternated, and neither were breaking the cycle. Although An Ran was tired of drinking soup, she didn’t want to dismiss their good intentions, so even though she didn’t want to drink she still tried her best to drink it all.
“I’m going to the doctor for a check up this afternoon, I will ask the doctor at that time.” An Ran just smiled and told her. As she spoke she gracefully let out a yawn, “Auntie Zhang, I’m a little sleepy, I’m just gonna go lie down for a bit. “
“Oh, sure, then I’ll cook in a bit, that way you can eat when you wake up.”
An Ran nodded, and went into the master room to lie down.
Her stomach was too big, it was even flat less than a month ago, nothing could be seen. It was like she wasn’t pregnant, but now it is.
An Ran smiled and shook her head, her hand stroked her stomach, and the baby in her stomach seemed to feel it. It hit the place where her hand was stroking, and the frequency was still high, it seemed to have a good beat. For a while it was not very obvious. She looked it up, it usually takes about 4 months to have fetal movement. She is less than four months, and it is considered to be relatively early for fetal movement.
An Ran giggled, her hand touched her stomach, she whispered, “Naughty little one.” The corner of her mouth was a happy smile that couldn’t be contained.
She still remembered the first fetal movement. It was at noon, she was excited and called Su Yi Cheng directly, but she couldn’t tell him clearly on the phone. She was so excited that she didn’t know how to express it. At that time, she nearly scared Su Yi Cheng to death, and he left in a middle of a group meeting and rushed home. Upon seeing her on the sofa, wanting to cry and wanting to laugh, he thought something had happened, and asked her what happened. At that time, An Ran thought that the fetal movement really made her conscious of being a mother. Somewhat moved, she couldn’t help but stay down on the sofa, looked at Su Yi Cheng while crying, unable to utter a word.
At that time he was getting more and more anxious as he watched her cry, the normally calm and level-headed man couldn’t help but be worried. He circled around An Ran and inspected her, couldn’t tell what the issue was. It was ultimately Auntie Zhang who came out from the kitchen who explained everything to him, happily told him about the fetal movement, that she was crying because she was excited, because she was touched, these were the emotions of a first-time mother.
Hearing what was said, Su Yi Cheng was relieved, that worried heart was also at ease. Then he looked at the An Ran who was laughing and crying, and held her into his arms. He whispered into her ears, “An Ran, you scared me to death.”
An Ran finally came up with a response, as her emotions were slowly steadying itself. She reached out and hugged him back, admitting the guilt and whispered back to him, “Sorry, I, I was just too excited.”
The two held each other for a long time that day. Su Yi Cheng then slowly released her, stared at her stomach, then looked up at her again, and asked, “Is she still moving?”
An Ran knew that he was talking about the little baby in her stomach, and shook her head. Actually when it moved it was just a slight movement, but she clearly felt the child in her stomach, it was clear and intense.
Su Yi Cheng as a little disappointed, as he wanted to be involved in everything about the child, including the first fetal movement.
Suddenly it seemed like the child heard Su Yi Cheng’s strong wish, An Ran’s stomach once again had a small movement, but this time it felt a lot more obvious.
“Yi, Yi Cheng!” Afraid that he would miss it, An Ran excitedly hit his hand, because she was excited, she also became somewhat speechless. “Quick, quick, quick!”
Su Yi Cheng was delighted, and quickly reached out to stretch his hand towards her bulging belly. When he placed his hand on it, he really did feel a movement. He looked at An Ran, the always cool-headed and serious man now looked like a child, that expression was in wonder, how inconceivable, and he was even more excited than An Ran, “I, I felt it, she’s kicking me, really strong!”
An Ran laughed at him, how could it be strong, it was obviously just a small, faint movement.
Su Yi Cheng’s hand kept stroking her stomach, the smile on his face was in fascination! Suddenly, the smile on his face was immediately replaced by a frown, he looked at An Ran’s face, as if he had been wronged, even innocent, and said, “It stopped.”
An Ran smiled, nodded, and said, “En, it’s stopped.” It was still the first fetal movement, it wouldn’t last a long time and it wouldn’t be a big, obvious movement.
Su Yi Cheng was a little disappointed, and muttered, “Just then, I haven’t said hello her, tell her that I’m her father.”
An Ran felt that this father-to-be has an IQ lower than those who fall blindly in love. If they say those who are head over heels in love have an IQ of zero, then right now Su Yi Cheng has an IQ of a negative number! She laughed and told him, “Fool, she’s still so small, even if you greet her she won’t know it.”
“Really? Su Yi Cheng frowned with some distress, “Didn’t you say she can sense things?”
An Ran chuckled and looked at him, at that moment she really felt that she was the world’s happiest and most fortunate woman.
For the next few days the child moved a couple more times, and when they were both there together, but don’t know if it was just a coincidence or not, every time when An Ran called Su Yi Cheng over, that movement stopped. The first time was a coincidence, what about the second and third time. An Ran jested that she must be a little lover that he had let down in his past life, and now his little lover is still angry with him. Su Yi Cheng did not believe in folk tales. That night he kept his hand on her stomach the entire night, kept his eyes open and did not sleep, afraid that once he fell asleep he’d miss something, but that night An Ran’s stomach did not make any movement, not even a bit, until the next day, when Su Yi Cheng had black circles underneath his eyes and was about to go to work, the little one in her stomach immediately made a movement, and it was much stronger than the previous ones.
Thus it had been one week since Su Yi Cheng last felt the fetal movement, ever since then he hadn’t experienced any movement, causing him to feel very depressed. Every night he would speak to An Ran’s belly, but it seemed to have no effect. An Ran seemed to be helpless too.
An Ran carried a happy and content smile, she propped her hand on the bed, and gracefully let out a yawn and closed her eyes.
When Su Yi Cheng returned Auntie Zhang happened to be in the kitchen making lunch. Seeing that Su Yi Cheng was back, she was a little surprised, “Mister why are you back at noon!”
Su Yi Cheng placed his briefcase on top of the counter, and grabbed a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, while changing his shoes he said, “It’s An Ran’s prenatal examination, I will come with her.”
Auntie Zhang then understood, so it was because of An Ran’s prenatal examination that he came back. She had thought that he would be quite busy because of recent events, and was worried that he wouldn’t be there with her. She smiled, “Mister is very nice to the Mrs., truly enviable.”
Su Yi Cheng had changed his shoes, then grabbed his briefcase, just smiled and said, “Aren’t married couples like this.”
Knowing that this person would be the one who you spend the rest of your life with, if you don’t get along, then the future days will be very long. If you quarrel everyday and find the other annoying, how tiring life would be!
Auntie Zhang smiled and nodded, “Yes yes yes, what Mister said is right, married couples should be like this, be kind and love each other for a lifetime.”
Su Yi Cheng laughed, and just asked, “Where’s An Ran?”
“The missus said she was bit tired, so she went into the room to sleep for a bit.” Auntie Zhang stated.
“En, I will go in and take a look.” Su Yi Cheng nodded, as he spoke he headed towards the room.
Opening the door to go in, he just saw An Ran lying on the bed, one hand on her belly, the corner of her mouth carried a faint smile, that sleeping face is face of satisfaction.
Su Yi Cheng quietly placed his briefcase on top of the cabinet and walked over to her. He bent over to her, and placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth.
An Ran made some noise, but did not wake up.
Looking at her, Su Yi Cheng also had a content smile. He reached out and placed his hands on her swelling belly, lightly pasted his hands on it, then left kisses on her belly. He quietly whispered to the belly, “Baby, I’m dad.”
Recently he had been busy until late night, last night he even worked to make up for this noon, and was in the studio working until the wee hours of the morning. Right now looking at An Ran, he really is a little sleepy.
He gently released her, then took off his own coat, and headed to the other side of the bed. He placed his arm on top of her head, then put it underneath her neck, so that her head would be resting on his arm, then he pulled her back close to him, so that the two were spooning each other, sticking closely together. He reached out and placed his ten digits across her stomach. Then he slowly closed his eyes, and little by little fell asleep.
Auntie Zhang looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost one o’clock, the lunch that she had made was getting cold now. Today they seem to be sleeping for quite a while, compared to previous times they are sleeping longer and it’s been nearly an hour since she’s seen anyone get up. “Perhaps it’s because someone is with her, which is why she is sleeping particularly well.” Auntie Zhang muttered to herself, the corner of her mouth carried an ambiguous smile.
After another hour, the door to the master bedroom was still closed shut, from beginning to end no one had come out. This time Auntie Zhang could not wait any longer, and was about to go over there to wake them up. Although she’d feel embarrassed for disturbing the two people in the room, but seeing that a certain person has an appointment for 2 o’clock, if she doesn’t wake them up now, they will be late!
“Knock knock knock….”
There was a knock on the door, the sleeping Su Yi Cheng suddenly awakened. In a low voice, he says, “What is it?”
Auntie Zhang quickly reminded them, “Mr, the meal is ready, and it’s almost one o’clock, you guys have an appointment at 2:30 with the doctor.”
And at this time, An Ran who was still asleep in Su Yi Cheng’s arms slowly woke up, her misty eyes blankly looked at Su Yi Cheng, unable to to ask why he was in the room right now.
Seeing that An Ran was awake, Su Yi Cheng was not worried, and just said, “Okay, I know. An Ran and I will get up right away.”
From outside, Auntie Zhang heard so, replied positively, then turned around and reheated the lunch that had turned cold.
An Ran blinked a few times, certain that the person before her eyes was Su Yi Cheng, she was somewhat happy, and puzzled, “Why are you home?”
Su Yi Cheng smiled, pinched her nose, and said, “You have an examination today.” He said so before, that he would come with her to greet this new life, he doesn’t want to miss any of this child’s development.
An Ran looked at him, chuckled and rubbed his face, said, “I thought you’d be so busy you’d forget.” Recently he seemed to constantly be busy, she truly thought that he would forget. She didn’t remind him, as she didn’t want to disturb his work.
“Fool, you and this child are more important.” Su Yi Cheng pulled on her hand and kissed it.
An Ran smiled happily because of his words.
Seeing her smiling face, Su Yi Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he did what his heart desired, he leaned forward, and kissed those enchanting red lips, tongue swept through her mouth, plundering everything.
An Ran instinctively responded, her hand slowly rose to hold onto his head, those delicate fingers inserted into his soft hair, she slowly responded to his enthusiasm.
It has been approximately 2 months since discovering her pregnancy, because he was worried about the baby, Su Yi Cheng has never dared to mess around, deeply afraid that he would hurt her and their baby. Sometimes when it was really hard to endure, he could only hug her tightly, put his head onto her shoulders, and when he really, truly can’t hold it in, he could only rush into the bathroom and give himself a cold bath, to cool off his fiery passion.
The process was painful, but the pain was sweet to him, because it was his duty and responsibility to his wife and child to endure it, and his wife and child would be his sweet burden, he would happily endure everything.
The kiss between them would always change. At the point where it had not gone to far, Su Yi Cheng, although reluctant, but still rational, chose to push her away, let go of her lips, and like the previous times, put his head on her shoulder. An Ran naturally understood his subtle change, and knew that he was enduring, but powerless. She could only reach out and wrap her arms around him, those small hands patted and comforted his back.
A while later his natural physiology started to wane. She could hear Su Yi Cheng’s dark voice speak into her ears, “An Ran, in a while we should ask.”
His words were full of hidden meanings, but An Ran understood him. He wanted to ask about making love!
This kind of realization made An Ran turn red A while later, as if a mosquito buzzed by his ears, she nodded and hummed, “En.”
Actually she had a desire to taste only him, so after so long, she also missed the feeling of their bodies together.
Su Yi Cheng chuckled, and hugged her even tighter.
An Ran was embarrassed further by his chuckle, she reached out and slapped him, feigning anger, "Hateful.”
Su Yi Cheng let go of her, just saw her face red like an apple, looked very pretty. He couldn’t help but peck her on the lips, but didn’t dare to push it further. After pecking her promptly released her, he does not want to hold her and ‘fire up’ that process, that wouldn’t be good.
“Let’s go, let’s eat first, after we’re done we can go to the appointment.” Su Yi Cheng took the lead and turned over off the bed, and went around to the other side and helped her up.
As he left the room, An Ran pulled on his hand, looked at his face, and asked, “Is my face still red?” She could still feel the heat on her face. She didn’t want to go out and be laughed at by Auntie Zhang, she would really feel shame.
Su Yi Cheng pinched her nose jokingly, just smiled and shook his head, “Fool.”
Then after those two words without saying anything else, he pulled her hand and went outside.
Auntie Zhang reheated the food again, looked at Su Yi Cheng’s beaming appearance, then looked at AN Ran’s red face. Just one look at them, she had an ambiguous smile on her face.
An Ran of course noticed the change of expression on Auntie Zhang’s face, and she knew that her face was not only slightly red. This could give people misunderstanding, so she felt really angry and annoyed, only glared at Su Yi Cheng, then reached out to pinch his waist.
Su Yi Cheng yelled out painfully, “Ah!”
Auntie Zhang standing at the side raised her head, and looked at them. The ambiguous smile on her face seemed widen even more.
An Ran was taken aback, did not expect him to yell out. In fact, she didn’t pinch too hard, the force was just enough for him to eat pain and not call out!
Taking the chance when Auntie Zhang was not looking, Su Yi Cheng raised his eyebrows up and down.
An Ran only then understood that that was his plan, it was really good and funny.
After dinner Su Yi Cheng drove her to the hospital. They were late to the appointment by a few minutes, and they missed the prior appointment. Su Yi Cheng sat with An Ran at the door, walking down there were a couple of pregnant women, many of them were accompanied with their husband. There were only one or two who, because of their husband having business, came with their mother or mother-in-law instead.
An Ran sat on the plastic chair. Overcome with boredom, she leaned on Su Yi Cheng’s body, grabbed his hand and fiddled around with it. Su Yi Cheng put his hand on her back, and protected her from the front.
Suddenly An Ran’s feet started to cramp, it was so painful that her face wrinkled up into a dumpling. Su Yi Cheng was shocked at this sudden situation, because of too much concern and tension made Su Yi Cheng frazzled, completely clueless on what to do.
“An Ran, how are you?” Su Yi Cheng was a little frazzled, he could only repeat the same words into her ear.
An Ran couldn’t speak due to the pain. She wanted to reach out, but because of her slightly large belly it became very inconvenient, the mother-in-laws sitting on the side quickly lent out a hand and gave them some tips, “Don’t look on so awkwardly, rub your wife’s legs, they should be cramping, more kneading.”
Hearing that, Su Yi Cheng finally reacted, even nodded. He half-knelt in front of An Ran, put An Ran’s legs on top of his, then gave her message. A while later, the pain slowly started to subside, An Ran looked at him and shook her head, “It’s okay, doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Su Yi Cheng did not get up right away, grabbed her leg and messaged it for a while more, so that the muscles were her cramps were wouldn’t be so stiff.
An Ran was a little embarrassed, because right now Su Yi Cheng was in a half-kneeling posture messaging her legs. People say that a man’s knees were gold, to kneel on the ground should be to their parents, there was no such saying for the wife. An Ran wanted to pull him up, but Su Yi Cheng insisted on messaging her for a little longer.
The couples sitting around them watched him, smiled at An Ran, and just said, “Your husband really loves you.”
An Ran nodded slightly awkwardly at them, her face a little red but embarrassment.
“Seeing how your stomach is so big, you should be a little more than 6 months along?” Someone asked.
An Ran just shook her head with a smile, and just said, “Just about 4 months.”
The crowd was a little surprised, looking at An Ran’s belly, some did not believe that she was only 4 months along.
Just when Su Yi Cheng was still kneading her legs, the door to the office behind him was opened, only to see a couple of the same age as them rush in. The woman wore glasses, looking refined, the hair on the man’s head was combed very neatly, appearing as if they wanted to look like those social-elites.
The couple seemed to have just finished their examination, when they were about to leave, the spectacle-wearing wife suddenly stopped in her step, stared at Su Yi Cheng who was slowly kneading An Ran’s legs. Her eyes went wide, looked at Su Yi Cheng for awhile speechless. The husband beside her seemed to sense something different, he turned to his wife and asked, “What’s wrong? An acquaintance?”
An Ran also looked at her in confusion then looked at Su Yi Cheng.
Su Yi Cheng frowned. He tried to recall if they had met before but he didn’t seem to have any impression of her.
The woman finally returned to her senses, she looked at Su Yi Cheng excitedly and shouted, “Special Assistant Su!” Suddenly remembering something, she quickly shook her head, “No no, right now I should be calling you Mayor Su!”
Upon hearing that the people around them were shocked, unable to come up with a reaction. The pair that just seemed to be an ordinary lovely couple turned out to be the city’s acting Deputy Su.
Su Yi Cheng did not have an impression of this woman, he just looked at her, slightly frowned and asked, “You are..?”
That woman quickly smiled and said, “I’m a reporter for Jiang City News, I interviewed you last year.”
Su Yi Cheng thought for a while longer, then finally seemed to remember that he did accept an interview for the media, he now remembers an impression, a female reported surnamed Qiu. He smiled and nodded at her, “I remember, Reporter Qiu.” Saying that, he politely reached out to her and her husband to shake their hands.
“Oh, Mayor Su has a good memory.” The reporter smiled and turned to explain to her husband in a whisper.
The nurse in the doctor’s office came out of the room and shouted, “An Ran, Gu An Ran was not here, if still not here then we’ll have to cancel the appointment.”
An Ran then responded, reached out to pat Su Yi Cheng, gave a faint smile to the woman and her husband.
Then she looked to the nurse and said, “I’m here.”
The little nurse looked at her and said, “Come in.”
Su Yi Cheng nodded to reporter couple, and then helped An Ran get in safely.
At the fourth month of pregnancy the main examination is an inspection of blood test, urine test, ECG, ultrasound, and Down’s Syndrome screening, because they only saw a few fetal instabilities, so An Ran already set up that little card, so the blood and urine test could be exempt, no need to be done, but they still need to do an ECG and ultrasound, in addition to the Down’s screening.
Lying in a hospital bed, the instrument moved back and forth on her stomach. Su Yi Cheng held An Ran’s hand in one hand, eyes looked straight at the image on the instrument. The doctor pointed to the image and explained, where the head was, where the hand was, where the foot was, and then suddenly stopped, looked at the above image for a while, as if confirming above, and then smiled and turned around, looked straight at Su Yi Cheng and said congratulations.
Su Yi Cheng was made confused, did not know what was going on, and asked puzzled, “Doctor, what’s the problem?”
The doctor was a middle-aged woman, smiled and pointed her pen back at the computer’s image, and said with a smile, “Look, it’s not one pair of hands, it’s two. Congratulations, your wife is pregnant with twins, so the stomach will be much bigger than normal people.”
Su Yi Cheng was shocked, unable to react. An Ran who was lying on the hospital bed was the same, for a while neither could respond to this joy.
The doctor naturally understood the reactions of the young parents, only smiled and shook her head, but did not urge them, let them slowly react, and waited to tell them the next matter.
Finally the inspection was finished, the two people came out from the doctor’s office. Suddenly Su Yi Cheng was reborn, he held An Ran up and turned her around several laps, at An Ran’s yelp and the crowd’s attention shifting to them he puts An Ran down, then happily announced to everyone, “I’m gonna be a father!”
An Ran laughed, patted him, and scolded, “Fool, you knew that long ago.”
The crowd followed with a smile, and even the couple who was about to go in to the examination room stopped and stood at the door and forgot to go in.
“My wife is pregnant with twins!” Su Yi Cheng loudly announced, declaring his joy and happiness at the moment.
Hearing that, the people who sat with An Ran came to congratulate An Ran and congratulated them on this family planning, in this age where each family could only have one child surprisingly could have two angelic babies.
After laughing, Su Yi Cheng’s mood slowly settled down. Holding An Ran’s hand, he had a smile that could be contained.
Then smiling asking him if he’s going or not, Su Yi Cheng then remembered that he seemed to have a very important question that he forgot to ask, turned his head and said to An Ran, “Just wait.”
An Ran was lost, looked at him puzzled and asked, “What? What’s going on?”
Su Yi Cheng smiled at her strangely, turned towards the office again and went in. Luckily the couple inside was asking something about the child, was not able to avoid the situation, so he smiled at them apologetically, then turned to look at the doctor and asked, “Doctor, I want to ask, now that the child is 4 months old, if we go back to doing married couple things is there anything we should take note of?”
The doctor was stunned by such an unabashed question, and for a while didn’t react, but just stared at him.
In addition, the couple who was getting a check up was also stunned, never thought he would come back to ask this question. The young wife was even blushing from his direct question, and the young husband was laughing until his stomach ached.
“Doctor?” Not waiting for the answer, thinking of An Ran who was waiting outside the door, Su Yi Cheng could not help but urge, “Is there anything we should pay attention to?”
“Keke!” That doctor only coughed, looked at him seriously and said, “After three months the baby should be fairly stable, it’s reasonable to say that you can go back to the normal married life, of course, what you should pay attention to is the vigour and the frequency, should not be too much, and should pay attention to position, do not press down on the woman’s stomach. In addition, the last three months are also a dangerous period, should avoid intercourse.”
Su Yi Cheng nodded earnestly, “I see, thank you doctor.” Then with a calm look he retreated from the office.
As they walked to the hospital parking lot, An Ran couldn’t help but be curious and ask, Su Yi Cheng, “What did you go in for?”
Su Yi Cheng’s face remained unchanged, with a normal face he said, “Nothing, just asked the doctor about some precautions.”
Saying that, An Ran then remembered that they were too happy from the news, and forgot about the pregnancy, what they should pay attention to with twins, for example eating and exercising. At the same time, nestled in Su Yi Cheng’s thoughtfulness, she quickly asked, “What did the doctor say, what do should we look out for?”
Su Yi Cheng looked into her eyes, the corner of his mouth half pulled into an evil smile, asked, “Are you sure you want to know?”
“Of course, I am pregnant, have to pay attention to what, I certainly want to know what I should do so that the fetus is well, was just too happy that I forgot to ask.” An Ran said with a serious face.
Su Yi Cheng cleared his throat, looked at the people who came and picked up the car, opened the door for her and just said, “Get on the car first, I’ll tell you after you’re in the car.” He could almost predict her reaction after he tells her.
An Ran nodded, and obediently sat in the car. She watched him go around the car and get on the other side, when he closed the door she asked, “What did the doctor say? What should I pay attention to?” Mothers-to-be will always be especially concerned and excited about the baby.
Su Yi Cheng couldn’t help but smile, and finally couldn’t hold it back. With an honourable look he said to An Ran, “The doctor said that as long as we take note of the vigour and position there will be no impact.”
An Ran was stunned, frowned slightly. Why does it seem like she’s standing in a fog, she doesn’t understand!
Su Yi Cheng smiled and pretended to be a decent person.
“What do you mean? I don’t understand.” An Ran was thinking that she doesn’t quite understand, looked at Su Yi Cheng’s face with doubt.
“Haha.” Looking at her innocent face and bewildered look, Su Yi Cheng really could not hold back a smile, and laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at!” His smile made An Ran feel a little more suspicious.
Su Yi Cheng laughed for a while, leaned forward, and whispered something into her ear. He watched An Ran listen, that face burst into redness, her eyes couldn’t help but widen.
Su Yi Cheng let go of her, and enjoyed the anticipated change in expression, smiling evilly.
An Ran simply felt that her face right now was not her own, it was burning up immensely. She didn’t even think that he would go back in again just to ask that! Staring at him, she scolded him, “You stinky hooligan!” He has this straight and serious image! If someone let this out, see how he’ll keep the image of a mayor, and stop people from laughing their teeth off!
Su Yi Cheng laughed, did not mind her own evaluation. There was still some redness on her face, he placed a heavy kiss on her lips, then let go of her, and somewhat proudly said, “Only to their wife is a hooligan man a good man!”
An Ran really felt that it was funny, it’s good that she didn’t follow him in, otherwise she would have dug herself a hole on the spot, where she wouldn’t have to face people!
The news that An Ran was pregnant with twins was known by the Gu family and Qin family by the evening. Lin Xiao Fen and Qin Yun were especially excited, said that they have to come over that evening to see, but was rejected by Su Yi Cheng, and said that he wanted to bring An Ran out, they won’t be at home. Both mothers were unable to find a way out, and could only wait until tomorrow morning.
Su Yi Cheng hung up the phone, An Ran asked curiously, “We still have something tonight, where are we going?” She heard what he had said on the phone, but he hadn’t told her about their plan to go out!
Su Yi Cheng smiled mysteriously and did not speak.
That evening, Su Yi Cheng had specially let Auntie Zhang go home from work early. Just when An Ran was about to dress up, thinking that he was really going to take her out, Su Yi Cheng shook his head and said that they aren’t going to go out.
An Ran was doubtful, even more confused.
Su Yi Cheng seemed to deliberately make it mysterious, said that he was going to cook and prepare a candlelit dinner for her.
An Ran smiled happily, his cooking was as good as a restaurant chef, so she did not mind that they could enjoy great food at home without going out.
He made it like the last time, only this time Su Yi Cheng paid more attention to the harmony of the food, a small steak with Chinese food and a few refreshing dishes. Although it looked a bit out of place, An Ran still ate it happily.
After dinner, Su Yi Cheng hugged An ran on the cough as they watched the classic American blockbuster “The Lake House”, in which Keanu Reeve’s handsome looks infatuated An Ran. After calling her name a few times with no response, a certain leader became a little mean, and just when the movie was getting good, he suddenly reached out and turned off the TV.
An Ran then reacted, turned her head to look at the man behind her, and asked, “What? It was getting good why shut it?”
The certain someone was jealous, completely unreasonable, held her face so that he was looking at her seriously, but also somewhat childishly asked, “Tell me, who is more handsome, me or the golden haired blue-eyed person on the TV?”
An Ran, even if she was slow, could see that this someone was jealous, but to be jealous of a person on TV was funny, and confidently said, “Of course, my husband is handsome!” Her expression was serious.
The person looked at her and didn’t say anything, then lowered his head and kissed her lips, hot enough to plunder everything about her.
An Ran, in order to appease him, just held him and smiled and accepted the response he had given. But she was also ignorant to the fact that she was slowly stepping into the trap of a big gray wolf!
That night, Leader Su finally ended his over-two-months abstinence. He held Mrs. Su and slept in satisfaction, and the Mrs. Su finally understood the meaning of ‘small wins and new marriages’ of other people’s marriages after more than two months. An Ran felt that if she was not pregnant, she would reckon that this someone would not let go her.
On the bed, the two embraced each other. Suddenly, a cellphone rang out at this time, scaring An Ran that she instinctively got up.
“It’s okay, I got it.” Su Yi Cheng patted her back and let her lay back down again. He sat up and took the cellphone from the bedside table. His voice still hoarse in the morning, “Hello?”
It was a call from Secretary Zheng, who somewhat urgently said, “Mayor Su, have you seen today’s newspaper?”

140. Twins
The latest and fastest text version update is in the ‘Report on the Serious Violation of Ling Chuan Jiang’s Case’. On September 28, the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee decided to expel Ling Chuan Jiang from the party as well as from the public office, and its evidence about the criminal and criminal problems were transferred to the judicial officers for handling according to the law.
On the TV, the intellectual female anchor was broadcasting the latest news, her face looked calm and did not have too much expression.
An Ran turned off the TV with the remote, and saw the preview on the newspaper delivered this morning. Recently, the hot news in Jiang City seemed to be the Ling Chuan Jiang incident. Almost all the big papers were covering this, this incident has become the talk of the entire town of Jiang City.
An Ran does not care much about this. She just thinks that Su Yi Cheng’s work seemed to have become busier these days. There were countless dinner parties and countless nights out.
Getting up, a little bit uncomfortable, her stomach seemed to have grown suddenly in this half-month, and then it bulged. She was only less than 4 months, but to others it seemed like she was 5 months or so.
Auntie Zhang, who was wiping the tables and chairs, saw her get up and went up to help her. “Slow down, be careful.”
An Ran smiled helplessly. “Auntie Zhang, I am fine, don’t be so nervous.”
Auntie Zhang insisted on holding her up and then let go of her. Looking at her slightly oversized stomach, she couldn’t help but spit out, “Say, how is your stomach so big, when my daughter-in-law was pregnant, only at 6 months was she this big.”
An Ran only smiled, she didn’t understand either. Before Lin Li had joked that Su Yi Cheng gave her good meals, and the nutrition was too good, so that’s why this three-month stomach become a stomach that would be 5 or 6 months to others. An Ran turned so red. In fact, she also felt that her nutrition was too rich. Both mothers were very kind to her. Today, Qin Yi sent her chicken soup, and tomorrow, Lin Xiao Fen will send pigeon soup. Anyway, the two alternated, and neither were breaking the cycle. Although An Ran was tired of drinking soup, she didn’t want to dismiss their good intentions, so even though she didn’t want to drink she still tried her best to drink it all.
“I’m going to the doctor for a check up this afternoon, I will ask the doctor at that time.” An Ran just smiled and told her. As she spoke she gracefully let out a yawn, “Auntie Zhang, I’m a little sleepy, I’m just gonna go lie down for a bit. “
“Oh, sure, then I’ll cook in a bit, that way you can eat when you wake up.”
An Ran nodded, and went into the master room to lie down.
Her stomach was too big, it was even flat less than a month ago, nothing could be seen. It was like she wasn’t pregnant, but now it is.
An Ran smiled and shook her head, her hand stroked her stomach, and the baby in her stomach seemed to feel it. It hit the place where her hand was stroking, and the frequency was still high, it seemed to have a good beat. For a while it was not very obvious. She looked it up, it usually takes about 4 months to have fetal movement. She is less than four months, and it is considered to be relatively early for fetal movement.
An Ran giggled, her hand touched her stomach, she whispered, “Naughty little one.” The corner of her mouth was a happy smile that couldn’t be contained.
She still remembered the first fetal movement. It was at noon, she was excited and called Su Yi Cheng directly, but she couldn’t tell him clearly on the phone. She was so excited that she didn’t know how to express it. At that time, she nearly scared Su Yi Cheng to death, and he left in a middle of a group meeting and rushed home. Upon seeing her on the sofa, wanting to cry and wanting to laugh, he thought something had happened, and asked her what happened. At that time, An Ran thought that the fetal movement really made her conscious of being a mother. Somewhat moved, she couldn’t help but stay down on the sofa, looked at Su Yi Cheng while crying, unable to utter a word.
At that time he was getting more and more anxious as he watched her cry, the normally calm and level-headed man couldn’t help but be worried. He circled around An Ran and inspected her, couldn’t tell what the issue was. It was ultimately Auntie Zhang who came out from the kitchen who explained everything to him, happily told him about the fetal movement, that she was crying because she was excited, because she was touched, these were the emotions of a first-time mother.
Hearing what was said, Su Yi Cheng was relieved, that worried heart was also at ease. Then he looked at the An Ran who was laughing and crying, and held her into his arms. He whispered into her ears, “An Ran, you scared me to death.”
An Ran finally came up with a response, as her emotions were slowly steadying itself. She reached out and hugged him back, admitting the guilt and whispered back to him, “Sorry, I, I was just too excited.”
The two held each other for a long time that day. Su Yi Cheng then slowly released her, stared at her stomach, then looked up at her again, and asked, “Is she still moving?”
An Ran knew that he was talking about the little baby in her stomach, and shook her head. Actually when it moved it was just a slight movement, but she clearly felt the child in her stomach, it was clear and intense.
Su Yi Cheng as a little disappointed, as he wanted to be involved in everything about the child, including the first fetal movement.
Suddenly it seemed like the child heard Su Yi Cheng’s strong wish, An Ran’s stomach once again had a small movement, but this time it felt a lot more obvious.
“Yi, Yi Cheng!” Afraid that he would miss it, An Ran excitedly hit his hand, because she was excited, she also became somewhat speechless. “Quick, quick, quick!”
Su Yi Cheng was delighted, and quickly reached out to stretch his hand towards her bulging belly. When he placed his hand on it, he really did feel a movement. He looked at An Ran, the always cool-headed and serious man now looked like a child, that expression was in wonder, how inconceivable, and he was even more excited than An Ran, “I, I felt it, she’s kicking me, really strong!”
An Ran laughed at him, how could it be strong, it was obviously just a small, faint movement.
Su Yi Cheng’s hand kept stroking her stomach, the smile on his face was in fascination! Suddenly, the smile on his face was immediately replaced by a frown, he looked at An Ran’s face, as if he had been wronged, even innocent, and said, “It stopped.”
An Ran smiled, nodded, and said, “En, it’s stopped.” It was still the first fetal movement, it wouldn’t last a long time and it wouldn’t be a big, obvious movement.
Su Yi Cheng was a little disappointed, and muttered, “Just then, I haven’t said hello her, tell her that I’m her father.”
An Ran felt that this father-to-be has an IQ lower than those who fall blindly in love. If they say those who are head over heels in love have an IQ of zero, then right now Su Yi Cheng has an IQ of a negative number! She laughed and told him, “Fool, she’s still so small, even if you greet her she won’t know it.”
“Really? Su Yi Cheng frowned with some distress, “Didn’t you say she can sense things?”
An Ran chuckled and looked at him, at that moment she really felt that she was the world’s happiest and most fortunate woman.
For the next few days the child moved a couple more times, and when they were both there together, but don’t know if it was just a coincidence or not, every time when An Ran called Su Yi Cheng over, that movement stopped. The first time was a coincidence, what about the second and third time. An Ran jested that she must be a little lover that he had let down in his past life, and now his little lover is still angry with him. Su Yi Cheng did not believe in folk tales. That night he kept his hand on her stomach the entire night, kept his eyes open and did not sleep, afraid that once he fell asleep he’d miss something, but that night An Ran’s stomach did not make any movement, not even a bit, until the next day, when Su Yi Cheng had black circles underneath his eyes and was about to go to work, the little one in her stomach immediately made a movement, and it was much stronger than the previous ones.
Thus it had been one week since Su Yi Cheng last felt the fetal movement, ever since then he hadn’t experienced any movement, causing him to feel very depressed. Every night he would speak to An Ran’s belly, but it seemed to have no effect. An Ran seemed to be helpless too.
An Ran carried a happy and content smile, she propped her hand on the bed, and gracefully let out a yawn and closed her eyes.
When Su Yi Cheng returned Auntie Zhang happened to be in the kitchen making lunch. Seeing that Su Yi Cheng was back, she was a little surprised, “Mister why are you back at noon!”
Su Yi Cheng placed his briefcase on top of the counter, and grabbed a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, while changing his shoes he said, “It’s An Ran’s prenatal examination, I will come with her.”
Auntie Zhang then understood, so it was because of An Ran’s prenatal examination that he came back. She had thought that he would be quite busy because of recent events, and was worried that he wouldn’t be there with her. She smiled, “Mister is very nice to the Mrs., truly enviable.”
Su Yi Cheng had changed his shoes, then grabbed his briefcase, just smiled and said, “Aren’t married couples like this.”
Knowing that this person would be the one who you spend the rest of your life with, if you don’t get along, then the future days will be very long. If you quarrel everyday and find the other annoying, how tiring life would be!
Auntie Zhang smiled and nodded, “Yes yes yes, what Mister said is right, married couples should be like this, be kind and love each other for a lifetime.”
Su Yi Cheng laughed, and just asked, “Where’s An Ran?”
“The missus said she was bit tired, so she went into the room to sleep for a bit.” Auntie Zhang stated.
“En, I will go in and take a look.” Su Yi Cheng nodded, as he spoke he headed towards the room.
Opening the door to go in, he just saw An Ran lying on the bed, one hand on her belly, the corner of her mouth carried a faint smile, that sleeping face is face of satisfaction.
Su Yi Cheng quietly placed his briefcase on top of the cabinet and walked over to her. He bent over to her, and placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth.
An Ran made some noise, but did not wake up.
Looking at her, Su Yi Cheng also had a content smile. He reached out and placed his hands on her swelling belly, lightly pasted his hands on it, then left kisses on her belly. He quietly whispered to the belly, “Baby, I’m dad.”
Recently he had been busy until late night, last night he even worked to make up for this noon, and was in the studio working until the wee hours of the morning. Right now looking at An Ran, he really is a little sleepy.
He gently released her, then took off his own coat, and headed to the other side of the bed. He placed his arm on top of her head, then put it underneath her neck, so that her head would be resting on his arm, then he pulled her back close to him, so that the two were spooning each other, sticking closely together. He reached out and placed his ten digits across her stomach. Then he slowly closed his eyes, and little by little fell asleep.
Auntie Zhang looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost one o’clock, the lunch that she had made was getting cold now. Today they seem to be sleeping for quite a while, compared to previous times they are sleeping longer and it’s been nearly an hour since she’s seen anyone get up. “Perhaps it’s because someone is with her, which is why she is sleeping particularly well.” Auntie Zhang muttered to herself, the corner of her mouth carried an ambiguous smile.
After another hour, the door to the master bedroom was still closed shut, from beginning to end no one had come out. This time Auntie Zhang could not wait any longer, and was about to go over there to wake them up. Although she’d feel embarrassed for disturbing the two people in the room, but seeing that a certain person has an appointment for 2 o’clock, if she doesn’t wake them up now, they will be late!
“Knock knock knock….”
There was a knock on the door, the sleeping Su Yi Cheng suddenly awakened. In a low voice, he says, “What is it?”
Auntie Zhang quickly reminded them, “Mr, the meal is ready, and it’s almost one o’clock, you guys have an appointment at 2:30 with the doctor.”
And at this time, An Ran who was still asleep in Su Yi Cheng’s arms slowly woke up, her misty eyes blankly looked at Su Yi Cheng, unable to to ask why he was in the room right now.
Seeing that An Ran was awake, Su Yi Cheng was not worried, and just said, “Okay, I know. An Ran and I will get up right away.”
From outside, Auntie Zhang heard so, replied positively, then turned around and reheated the lunch that had turned cold.
An Ran blinked a few times, certain that the person before her eyes was Su Yi Cheng, she was somewhat happy, and puzzled, “Why are you home?”
Su Yi Cheng smiled, pinched her nose, and said, “You have an examination today.” He said so before, that he would come with her to greet this new life, he doesn’t want to miss any of this child’s development.
An Ran looked at him, chuckled and rubbed his face, said, “I thought you’d be so busy you’d forget.” Recently he seemed to constantly be busy, she truly thought that he would forget. She didn’t remind him, as she didn’t want to disturb his work.
“Fool, you and this child are more important.” Su Yi Cheng pulled on her hand and kissed it.
An Ran smiled happily because of his words.
Seeing her smiling face, Su Yi Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he did what his heart desired, he leaned forward, and kissed those enchanting red lips, tongue swept through her mouth, plundering everything.
An Ran instinctively responded, her hand slowly rose to hold onto his head, those delicate fingers inserted into his soft hair, she slowly responded to his enthusiasm.
It has been approximately 2 months since discovering her pregnancy, because he was worried about the baby, Su Yi Cheng has never dared to mess around, deeply afraid that he would hurt her and their baby. Sometimes when it was really hard to endure, he could only hug her tightly, put his head onto her shoulders, and when he really, truly can’t hold it in, he could only rush into the bathroom and give himself a cold bath, to cool off his fiery passion.
The process was painful, but the pain was sweet to him, because it was his duty and responsibility to his wife and child to endure it, and his wife and child would be his sweet burden, he would happily endure everything.
The kiss between them would always change. At the point where it had not gone to far, Su Yi Cheng, although reluctant, but still rational, chose to push her away, let go of her lips, and like the previous times, put his head on her shoulder. An Ran naturally understood his subtle change, and knew that he was enduring, but powerless. She could only reach out and wrap her arms around him, those small hands patted and comforted his back.
A while later his natural physiology started to wane. She could hear Su Yi Cheng’s dark voice speak into her ears, “An Ran, in a while we should ask.”
His words were full of hidden meanings, but An Ran understood him. He wanted to ask about making love!
This kind of realization made An Ran turn red A while later, as if a mosquito buzzed by his ears, she nodded and hummed, “En.”
Actually she had a desire to taste only him, so after so long, she also missed the feeling of their bodies together.
Su Yi Cheng chuckled, and hugged her even tighter.
An Ran was embarrassed further by his chuckle, she reached out and slapped him, feigning anger, "Hateful.”
Su Yi Cheng let go of her, just saw her face red like an apple, looked very pretty. He couldn’t help but peck her on the lips, but didn’t dare to push it further. After pecking her promptly released her, he does not want to hold her and ‘fire up’ that process, that wouldn’t be good.
“Let’s go, let’s eat first, after we’re done we can go to the appointment.” Su Yi Cheng took the lead and turned over off the bed, and went around to the other side and helped her up.
As he left the room, An Ran pulled on his hand, looked at his face, and asked, “Is my face still red?” She could still feel the heat on her face. She didn’t want to go out and be laughed at by Auntie Zhang, she would really feel shame.
Su Yi Cheng pinched her nose jokingly, just smiled and shook his head, “Fool.”
Then after those two words without saying anything else, he pulled her hand and went outside.
Auntie Zhang reheated the food again, looked at Su Yi Cheng’s beaming appearance, then looked at AN Ran’s red face. Just one look at them, she had an ambiguous smile on her face.
An Ran of course noticed the change of expression on Auntie Zhang’s face, and she knew that her face was not only slightly red. This could give people misunderstanding, so she felt really angry and annoyed, only glared at Su Yi Cheng, then reached out to pinch his waist.
Su Yi Cheng yelled out painfully, “Ah!”
Auntie Zhang standing at the side raised her head, and looked at them. The ambiguous smile on her face seemed widen even more.
An Ran was taken aback, did not expect him to yell out. In fact, she didn’t pinch too hard, the force was just enough for him to eat pain and not call out!
Taking the chance when Auntie Zhang was not looking, Su Yi Cheng raised his eyebrows up and down.
An Ran only then understood that that was his plan, it was really good and funny.
After dinner Su Yi Cheng drove her to the hospital. They were late to the appointment by a few minutes, and they missed the prior appointment. Su Yi Cheng sat with An Ran at the door, walking down there were a couple of pregnant women, many of them were accompanied with their husband. There were only one or two who, because of their husband having business, came with their mother or mother-in-law instead.
An Ran sat on the plastic chair. Overcome with boredom, she leaned on Su Yi Cheng’s body, grabbed his hand and fiddled around with it. Su Yi Cheng put his hand on her back, and protected her from the front.
Suddenly An Ran’s feet started to cramp, it was so painful that her face wrinkled up into a dumpling. Su Yi Cheng was shocked at this sudden situation, because of too much concern and tension made Su Yi Cheng frazzled, completely clueless on what to do.
“An Ran, how are you?” Su Yi Cheng was a little frazzled, he could only repeat the same words into her ear.
An Ran couldn’t speak due to the pain. She wanted to reach out, but because of her slightly large belly it became very inconvenient, the mother-in-laws sitting on the side quickly lent out a hand and gave them some tips, “Don’t look on so awkwardly, rub your wife’s legs, they should be cramping, more kneading.”
Hearing that, Su Yi Cheng finally reacted, even nodded. He half-knelt in front of An Ran, put An Ran’s legs on top of his, then gave her message. A while later, the pain slowly started to subside, An Ran looked at him and shook her head, “It’s okay, doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Su Yi Cheng did not get up right away, grabbed her leg and messaged it for a while more, so that the muscles were her cramps were wouldn’t be so stiff.
An Ran was a little embarrassed, because right now Su Yi Cheng was in a half-kneeling posture messaging her legs. People say that a man’s knees were gold, to kneel on the ground should be to their parents, there was no such saying for the wife. An Ran wanted to pull him up, but Su Yi Cheng insisted on messaging her for a little longer.
The couples sitting around them watched him, smiled at An Ran, and just said, “Your husband really loves you.”
An Ran nodded slightly awkwardly at them, her face a little red but embarrassment.
“Seeing how your stomach is so big, you should be a little more than 6 months along?” Someone asked.
An Ran just shook her head with a smile, and just said, “Just about 4 months.”
The crowd was a little surprised, looking at An Ran’s belly, some did not believe that she was only 4 months along.
Just when Su Yi Cheng was still kneading her legs, the door to the office behind him was opened, only to see a couple of the same age as them rush in. The woman wore glasses, looking refined, the hair on the man’s head was combed very neatly, appearing as if they wanted to look like those social-elites.
The couple seemed to have just finished their examination, when they were about to leave, the spectacle-wearing wife suddenly stopped in her step, stared at Su Yi Cheng who was slowly kneading An Ran’s legs. Her eyes went wide, looked at Su Yi Cheng for awhile speechless. The husband beside her seemed to sense something different, he turned to his wife and asked, “What’s wrong? An acquaintance?”
An Ran also looked at her in confusion then looked at Su Yi Cheng.
Su Yi Cheng frowned. He tried to recall if they had met before but he didn’t seem to have any impression of her.
The woman finally returned to her senses, she looked at Su Yi Cheng excitedly and shouted, “Special Assistant Su!” Suddenly remembering something, she quickly shook her head, “No no, right now I should be calling you Mayor Su!”
Upon hearing that the people around them were shocked, unable to come up with a reaction. The pair that just seemed to be an ordinary lovely couple turned out to be the city’s acting Deputy Su.
Su Yi Cheng did not have an impression of this woman, he just looked at her, slightly frowned and asked, “You are..?”
That woman quickly smiled and said, “I’m a reporter for Jiang City News, I interviewed you last year.”
Su Yi Cheng thought for a while longer, then finally seemed to remember that he did accept an interview for the media, he now remembers an impression, a female reported surnamed Qiu. He smiled and nodded at her, “I remember, Reporter Qiu.” Saying that, he politely reached out to her and her husband to shake their hands.
“Oh, Mayor Su has a good memory.” The reporter smiled and turned to explain to her husband in a whisper.
The nurse in the doctor’s office came out of the room and shouted, “An Ran, Gu An Ran was not here, if still not here then we’ll have to cancel the appointment.”
An Ran then responded, reached out to pat Su Yi Cheng, gave a faint smile to the woman and her husband.
Then she looked to the nurse and said, “I’m here.”
The little nurse looked at her and said, “Come in.”
Su Yi Cheng nodded to reporter couple, and then helped An Ran get in safely.
At the fourth month of pregnancy the main examination is an inspection of blood test, urine test, ECG, ultrasound, and Down’s Syndrome screening, because they only saw a few fetal instabilities, so An Ran already set up that little card, so the blood and urine test could be exempt, no need to be done, but they still need to do an ECG and ultrasound, in addition to the Down’s screening.
Lying in a hospital bed, the instrument moved back and forth on her stomach. Su Yi Cheng held An Ran’s hand in one hand, eyes looked straight at the image on the instrument. The doctor pointed to the image and explained, where the head was, where the hand was, where the foot was, and then suddenly stopped, looked at the above image for a while, as if confirming above, and then smiled and turned around, looked straight at Su Yi Cheng and said congratulations.
Su Yi Cheng was made confused, did not know what was going on, and asked puzzled, “Doctor, what’s the problem?”
The doctor was a middle-aged woman, smiled and pointed her pen back at the computer’s image, and said with a smile, “Look, it’s not one pair of hands, it’s two. Congratulations, your wife is pregnant with twins, so the stomach will be much bigger than normal people.”
Su Yi Cheng was shocked, unable to react. An Ran who was lying on the hospital bed was the same, for a while neither could respond to this joy.
The doctor naturally understood the reactions of the young parents, only smiled and shook her head, but did not urge them, let them slowly react, and waited to tell them the next matter.
Finally the inspection was finished, the two people came out from the doctor’s office. Suddenly Su Yi Cheng was reborn, he held An Ran up and turned her around several laps, at An Ran’s yelp and the crowd’s attention shifting to them he puts An Ran down, then happily announced to everyone, “I’m gonna be a father!”
An Ran laughed, patted him, and scolded, “Fool, you knew that long ago.”
The crowd followed with a smile, and even the couple who was about to go in to the examination room stopped and stood at the door and forgot to go in.
“My wife is pregnant with twins!” Su Yi Cheng loudly announced, declaring his joy and happiness at the moment.
Hearing that, the people who sat with An Ran came to congratulate An Ran and congratulated them on this family planning, in this age where each family could only have one child surprisingly could have two angelic babies.
After laughing, Su Yi Cheng’s mood slowly settled down. Holding An Ran’s hand, he had a smile that could be contained.
Then smiling asking him if he’s going or not, Su Yi Cheng then remembered that he seemed to have a very important question that he forgot to ask, turned his head and said to An Ran, “Just wait.”
An Ran was lost, looked at him puzzled and asked, “What? What’s going on?”
Su Yi Cheng smiled at her strangely, turned towards the office again and went in. Luckily the couple inside was asking something about the child, was not able to avoid the situation, so he smiled at them apologetically, then turned to look at the doctor and asked, “Doctor, I want to ask, now that the child is 4 months old, if we go back to doing married couple things is there anything we should take note of?”
The doctor was stunned by such an unabashed question, and for a while didn’t react, but just stared at him.
In addition, the couple who was getting a check up was also stunned, never thought he would come back to ask this question. The young wife was even blushing from his direct question, and the young husband was laughing until his stomach ached.
“Doctor?” Not waiting for the answer, thinking of An Ran who was waiting outside the door, Su Yi Cheng could not help but urge, “Is there anything we should pay attention to?”
“Keke!” That doctor only coughed, looked at him seriously and said, “After three months the baby should be fairly stable, it’s reasonable to say that you can go back to the normal married life, of course, what you should pay attention to is the vigour and the frequency, should not be too much, and should pay attention to position, do not press down on the woman’s stomach. In addition, the last three months are also a dangerous period, should avoid intercourse.”
Su Yi Cheng nodded earnestly, “I see, thank you doctor.” Then with a calm look he retreated from the office.
As they walked to the hospital parking lot, An Ran couldn’t help but be curious and ask, Su Yi Cheng, “What did you go in for?”
Su Yi Cheng’s face remained unchanged, with a normal face he said, “Nothing, just asked the doctor about some precautions.”
Saying that, An Ran then remembered that they were too happy from the news, and forgot about the pregnancy, what they should pay attention to with twins, for example eating and exercising. At the same time, nestled in Su Yi Cheng’s thoughtfulness, she quickly asked, “What did the doctor say, what do should we look out for?”
Su Yi Cheng looked into her eyes, the corner of his mouth half pulled into an evil smile, asked, “Are you sure you want to know?”
“Of course, I am pregnant, have to pay attention to what, I certainly want to know what I should do so that the fetus is well, was just too happy that I forgot to ask.” An Ran said with a serious face.
Su Yi Cheng cleared his throat, looked at the people who came and picked up the car, opened the door for her and just said, “Get on the car first, I’ll tell you after you’re in the car.” He could almost predict her reaction after he tells her.
An Ran nodded, and obediently sat in the car. She watched him go around the car and get on the other side, when he closed the door she asked, “What did the doctor say? What should I pay attention to?” Mothers-to-be will always be especially concerned and excited about the baby.
Su Yi Cheng couldn’t help but smile, and finally couldn’t hold it back. With an honourable look he said to An Ran, “The doctor said that as long as we take note of the vigour and position there will be no impact.”
An Ran was stunned, frowned slightly. Why does it seem like she’s standing in a fog, she doesn’t understand!
Su Yi Cheng smiled and pretended to be a decent person.
“What do you mean? I don’t understand.” An Ran was thinking that she doesn’t quite understand, looked at Su Yi Cheng’s face with doubt.
“Haha.” Looking at her innocent face and bewildered look, Su Yi Cheng really could not hold back a smile, and laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at!” His smile made An Ran feel a little more suspicious.
Su Yi Cheng laughed for a while, leaned forward, and whispered something into her ear. He watched An Ran listen, that face burst into redness, her eyes couldn’t help but widen.
Su Yi Cheng let go of her, and enjoyed the anticipated change in expression, smiling evilly.
An Ran simply felt that her face right now was not her own, it was burning up immensely. She didn’t even think that he would go back in again just to ask that! Staring at him, she scolded him, “You stinky hooligan!” He has this straight and serious image! If someone let this out, see how he’ll keep the image of a mayor, and stop people from laughing their teeth off!
Su Yi Cheng laughed, did not mind her own evaluation. There was still some redness on her face, he placed a heavy kiss on her lips, then let go of her, and somewhat proudly said, “Only to their wife is a hooligan man a good man!”
An Ran really felt that it was funny, it’s good that she didn’t follow him in, otherwise she would have dug herself a hole on the spot, where she wouldn’t have to face people!
The news that An Ran was pregnant with twins was known by the Gu family and Qin family by the evening. Lin Xiao Fen and Qin Yun were especially excited, said that they have to come over that evening to see, but was rejected by Su Yi Cheng, and said that he wanted to bring An Ran out, they won’t be at home. Both mothers were unable to find a way out, and could only wait until tomorrow morning.
Su Yi Cheng hung up the phone, An Ran asked curiously, “We still have something tonight, where are we going?” She heard what he had said on the phone, but he hadn’t told her about their plan to go out!
Su Yi Cheng smiled mysteriously and did not speak.
That evening, Su Yi Cheng had specially let Auntie Zhang go home from work early. Just when An Ran was about to dress up, thinking that he was really going to take her out, Su Yi Cheng shook his head and said that they aren’t going to go out.
An Ran was doubtful, even more confused.
Su Yi Cheng seemed to deliberately make it mysterious, said that he was going to cook and prepare a candlelit dinner for her.
An Ran smiled happily, his cooking was as good as a restaurant chef, so she did not mind that they could enjoy great food at home without going out.
He made it like the last time, only this time Su Yi Cheng paid more attention to the harmony of the food, a small steak with Chinese food and a few refreshing dishes. Although it looked a bit out of place, An Ran still ate it happily.
After dinner, Su Yi Cheng hugged An ran on the cough as they watched the classic American blockbuster “The Lake House”, in which Keanu Reeve’s handsome looks infatuated An Ran. After calling her name a few times with no response, a certain leader became a little mean, and just when the movie was getting good, he suddenly reached out and turned off the TV.
An Ran then reacted, turned her head to look at the man behind her, and asked, “What? It was getting good why shut it?”
The certain someone was jealous, completely unreasonable, held her face so that he was looking at her seriously, but also somewhat childishly asked, “Tell me, who is more handsome, me or the golden haired blue-eyed person on the TV?”
An Ran, even if she was slow, could see that this someone was jealous, but to be jealous of a person on TV was funny, and confidently said, “Of course, my husband is handsome!” Her expression was serious.
The person looked at her and didn’t say anything, then lowered his head and kissed her lips, hot enough to plunder everything about her.
An Ran, in order to appease him, just held him and smiled and accepted the response he had given. But she was also ignorant to the fact that she was slowly stepping into the trap of a big gray wolf!
That night, Leader Su finally ended his over-two-months abstinence. He held Mrs. Su and slept in satisfaction, and the Mrs. Su finally understood the meaning of ‘small wins and new marriages’ of other people’s marriages after more than two months. An Ran felt that if she was not pregnant, she would reckon that this someone would not let go her.
On the bed, the two embraced each other. Suddenly, a cellphone rang out at this time, scaring An Ran that she instinctively got up.
“It’s okay, I got it.” Su Yi Cheng patted her back and let her lay back down again. He sat up and took the cellphone from the bedside table. His voice still hoarse in the morning, “Hello?”
It was a call from Secretary Zheng, who somewhat urgently said, “Mayor Su, have you seen today’s newspaper?”
