Translator: 549690339

An ran was also a little surprised that Zhou han had actually called ye Ziwen over. However, she thought about how they were good friends in the past. Now that Zhou han wasn’t around, it wasn’t strange that he could contact him.

“What are you doing here?” Ye Ziwen stepped forward and looked at an ran strangely.

Anran stood up and explained, ” I’m here to see a friend. I happened to meet this child here. Then, the nurse said that the child had been left in the hospital for a few days. That’s why I called Zhou han. &Quot;

Ye Ziwen nodded and half-squatted in front of the child. She smiled and said,”Xiaobin, your dad is on a business trip. Can you stay at uncle’s house for a few days?” In fact, he had been keeping in touch with Zhou han since the last time. Sometimes, he would ask Zhou han out for a drink.

Zhou jiabing looked at him for a while before finally nodding. He recognized that he was the uncle who had come to visit him when he was in the hospital. His father said that he was his good friend, and his father had just said on the phone that an uncle would come to pick him up from the hospital later and asked him to go home with that uncle.

Ye Ziwen smiled and extended her hand to him. &Quot; let’s go. Uncle will take you home. &Quot;

Anran glanced at the child and reached out to stroke his little head. Then, she said to ye Ziwen, ” “Since you’re here, I’ll take my leave.” With that, she turned around and wanted to leave. When she got back, she still had to finish today’s design. Huang Dexing had given her a deadline of tomorrow, so it looked like she would have to stay up late tonight.

“Are you very close to Zhou han?” Ye Ziwen said from behind her.

Anran turned her head and looked at him in confusion. She only said, ” “If I’ve seen them a few times and can be considered familiar.”

Ye Ziwen frowned. &Quot; did ah-Cheng tell you about Zhou han? ”

Anran nodded. She was very grateful for su Yicheng’s honesty, which gave her confidence in this marriage.

Ye Ziwen laughed softly and muttered to himself, ” you can even talk about this. It seems like you’ve really let it go. &Quot;

Anran didn’t hear what he said. She frowned and asked in confusion, ” what did you say? ”

......

Ye Ziwen reacted and shook his head at him. &Quot; Oh, it’s nothing. &Quot;

If he didn’t say anything, an ran wouldn’t ask. She nodded and turned to leave.

“Oh, right, the house is ready. When are you guys moving in?” Before, ah Luo had been urging him to hurry up like a ghost, but now that he had caught up with the progress, he didn’t say anything. When she called him to ask if he was moving, he said that his wife was in a bad mood and needed a few days to rest. Why didn’t he see that the kid had the potential to be a slave to his wife?

&Quot; what? ” Anran froze and asked, ” is it already done? ” When su Yicheng took her to see it before, there seemed to be quite a lot of it that hadn’t healed yet. According to the normal progress of the project, it would take at least half a month.

Ye Ziwen rolled his eyes and said,”It was a few days ago. Ah Zhen said you were in a bad mood, so you’ll move a few days later. By the way, when will you be in a good mood? I’ll arrange for you to move.” He was such a good person, even the after-sales service was done so well.

Anran suddenly felt a little embarrassed after hearing what he said. Su Yicheng must have accommodated her because of Lin Li’s matter, and he didn’t want to bother her, so he never mentioned moving.

“I’ll ask him when he comes back tonight.” Anran only said this, but her heart was filled with sweetness because of su Yicheng’s thoughtfulness.

Ye Ziwen nodded and said,”did you drive here?” If you don’t, I’ll send you back. It’s on the way.”

An ran thought about it and didn’t refuse.

The two of them helped the child with the discharge procedures. When they rushed out of the hospital, it was almost evening.

In the car, Anran and the child sat in the back seat. The child sat there obediently, playing with the Transformers toy in his hands with his head lowered. Anran touched his head. This child rarely smiled. Other than the time she had seen him smile happily in the military compound, she had basically never seen him smile the next few times. Furthermore, he seemed to be very afraid of Zhou han. He clearly liked him in his heart. She could see this from his expression when he woke up and saw Zhou han the last time.

Ye Ziwen looked at Anran in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. He had thought about Anran in the beginning, but before he could do anything, he found out that she had already become ah Zhen’s wife. Life was really wonderful. He and ah Zhen met her on the same day, but she became ah Zhen’s wife in the end. Ah Zhen had not been in love for so many years, but he did not expect to get married to her in a flash, and now it seemed that the relationship between the husband and wife was not bad.

“I see that you have a good relationship with ah Zhen. How did you two meet?” He had always wanted to know how ah Luo made her move. She could actually capture him so easily. If he met one one someday, perhaps he could try. However, every time she asked about that hour, that kid would only smile and not say a word, making it seem very mysterious.

Hearing this, Anran was stunned. She really couldn’t bring herself to talk about her own mishap. Her eyes flickered a little, and she laughed dryly.”Just, just a blind date.”

“A blind date?” Ye Ziwen frowned and muttered,”Hasn’t he always rejected it? Or is it because he knew it was you that he went?”

“Eh? What did you just say?” An ran was a little confused. How did he know it was her? Did they know each other before?

&Quot; I knew this kid was two-faced. He must have known it was you, so he agreed to go on a blind date with you. &Quot; Ye Ziwen said with certainty. He regretted that he didn’t make the first move. Otherwise, how could a handsome and suave person like him be inferior to that Black-bellied Wolf of his? However, with this lesson, next time, next time, don’t let him meet one, or else he will also take the upper hand.

“He’s seen me before?” An ran asked tentatively.

“I already told you I’ve seen you before, but you still don’t believe me. When you went on a blind date at the Dacheng hotel, you met a high-quality man who paid the bill with a coffee roll. At that time, ah Zhen and I were sitting behind you. When you left, I even specially stuck my head out to take a look.” “It’s just that I didn’t expect this kid to already have feelings for you at that time. He was even despicable enough to make the first move and trick you into getting married. I didn’t even have a chance at all,” said ye Ziwen. Ye Ziwen’s tone was a little gloomy as he spoke.

Anran was stunned. She didn’t expect that they would be sitting right behind her at that time, and that they would witness the entire process. Just thinking about it made Anran feel quite embarrassed. However, if she had to say who was the one who made the first move, it probably wouldn’t be su Yicheng, but her. After all, she was the one who had asked to get married as soon as they met.

“But then again, you’re pretty good too. You’ve actually managed to make ah Zhen so obedient. I’ve never seen him so good to any woman before.” Ye Ziwen mumbled, ” when I was with Ling LAN, he didn’t even treat Ling LAN this well. &Quot;

“Did he not treat Ling LAN well back then?” Anran asked curiously. However, her anger also made her feel a strange sense of sourness. She didn’t know if this was considered jealousy or jealousy, but it seemed like she didn’t like to hear about him and Ling LAN.

&Quot; how should I put it? back then, when he and Ling LAN got together, it was almost a natural thing. Everyone knew that Ling LAN liked ah Luo since they were young, so it should be said that ah Luo didn’t hate him. Moreover, the parents of both families knew each other, so over time, everyone naturally thought that they were a couple. And just like that, the two of them got together. Don’t be fooled by ah Luo’s gentle and gentle appearance. In reality, he was a little distant to everyone and wasn’t easy to get close to. In the beginning, Ling LAN even complained in front of us a few times, but after spending more time together, we slowly got used to it. ” As he said that, ye Ziwen looked at her through his glasses and continued, &Quot; but it seems that he’s really good to you. Is it because you’re too strong or is he originally a henpecked husband? ”

Anran looked at him unhappily and said solemnly, ” “We respect each other.” She couldn’t believe that the man in front of her was that Eric, the designer Eric who was praised as an architectural genius! His personality was completely different from his design style.

Ye Ziwen glanced at her and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He shook his head and said,”Maybe that kid is secretly plotting something. You don’t understand ah Luo at all. That kid is a Smiling Tiger, but a Black-bellied Wolf.” From his experience of growing up in the same pants as him, he knew that ah Zhen had never made a loss in business. In his opinion, this kid was either in love with her or was plotting something. However, there shouldn’t be anything to plot with Gu Anran.

Anran suddenly froze when he said that. It wasn’t that she was worried about him saying that he had a plan against her, but it was just as he said. She really didn’t seem to understand him, didn’t know his likes, didn’t know his taste, and sometimes, she couldn’t even tell what he was feeling from his face. They were clearly together every day and were very close, but sometimes she felt that they were very far apart. Perhaps it was just as ye Ziwen had said earlier, she really did not seem to understand him at all.

It was almost five o ‘clock when she returned to the apartment. Because she had woken up late in the morning, she didn’t know if su Yicheng had any social events at night. However, just in case, Anran planned to go to the supermarket next to the neighborhood to buy some ingredients and make a simple dinner later. This way, even if su Yicheng didn’t come back from any social events, he wouldn’t have to run out of food. If he didn’t come back, she could deal with her stomach as she pleased.

Pushing the cart into the supermarket, Anran was so lost that she didn’t know what to buy at all. She knew how to make some, but she didn’t know if su Yicheng liked them or not, so she didn’t know if she should buy them or not. There were also some that she didn’t know how to make, and even if she bought them, she didn’t know how to deal with them.

In the end, after shopping around, the cart was still empty. In the end, Anran decided to buy something that she knew how to make. Although she didn’t know if he liked it or not, at least she knew how to make it. She wouldn’t have to buy an empty bag and put it in the refrigerator and wait for him to come back from work the whole day to deal with it.

Anran pushed the shopping cart back again and took the fresh vegetables and corn from the fruit and vegetable area. She also took the fresh pork chops from the meat area. Just as she was about to go get the eggs, her shopping cart bumped into another shopping cart. Anran politely and subconsciously apologized, ” I’m sorry. &Quot; However, the moment he raised his head, he was stunned.

Ling LAN smiled as she looked at her. Her face was still as beautiful as ever. Today, she was wearing a light blue striped simeya-style strapless dress. Her long, flowing hair fell over her shoulders. She was so beautiful that she looked like she had descended from the heavens. She had a fairy-like aura about her, as if she was from the mortal world.

“What a coincidence, are you here to buy vegetables too?” Ling LAN saw that she was the first to speak. She was very natural and generous, and she seemed to be very magnanimous.

Anran nodded slightly and smiled at her, but her smile was slightly distant. After the last time, Anran always had a faint feeling of discomfort when she looked at her again.

“Let me see what you bought.” Ling LAN was as enthusiastic as ever, but an ran felt that her enthusiasm had a purpose. It wasn’t pure.

Without waiting for an ran to say yes or no, Ling LAN had already lowered her head and started to check the things in her shopping cart. When she saw the corn in the shopping cart, she exclaimed, ” “Ah, why are you selling corn? ah kun never eats corn. He said that corn has a strange smell and he doesn’t like it.” As he spoke, he picked up the little bok choy in the car, looked at Anran, and shook his head. &Quot; ah Zhen doesn’t eat little bok choy either. He says it’s a little bitter, and he usually likes to eat cabbage with roots. &Quot; Looking at the box of pork chops in her car, he couldn’t help but frown and sigh. He continued, ” “Anran, don’t you know what ah Zhen likes to eat at all? He doesn’t like to eat fat and greasy things at night. Otherwise, he would have to do a lot of exercise to burn his body’s calories after eating.” After saying that, he took out the box of pork chops and put it back on the shelf.

He smiled at Anran and said, ” let’s go. I’ll take you to buy some. Otherwise, if everyone buys like you, ah Zhen will be hungry at night. &Quot;

Anran felt very uncomfortable, especially when she said what su Yicheng liked and disliked. No matter how she listened to it, she felt very awkward. In a fit of pique, she took back the box of pork chops that she had taken out and put them back into the shopping cart. She looked at her and said, ” “Yichen will eat whatever I eat.”

Ling LAN looked at her in shock. After a while, she smiled and said, ” “Yes, I almost forgot. Ah Zhen is the most considerate of others and always thinks for others. He will naturally accommodate you.”

Anran looked at her and said, ” &Quot; yes, he dotes on me and is very accommodating to me. He will buy and make whatever I want to eat. Even if he doesn’t like it, he will accompany me to eat happily. &Quot;

Ling LAN looked at her and nodded. &Quot; he’s always like this. He used to treat me the same way. Since young, as long as I liked it, he would find a way to do it for me no matter how hard it was. Sometimes, I’m always worried that he’ll suffer too much for my feelings and care for my emotions, so I always try my best to make it up to him. For example, I’ll try my best to satisfy him with the food he likes to eat and the food he likes to cook. After all, she couldn’t be too selfish and only think about herself and make him suffer. Don’t you agree?”

She didn’t know what kind of emotion she was feeling, but hearing her say this, Anran couldn’t help but tighten her grip on the handle of the trolley. Looking at her, Anran wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t. She only said with a slightly stiff expression, ” &Quot; I don’t think he’s doing anything wrong for me. I think he’s enjoying it. &Quot;

“Is that so?” Ling LAN smiled faintly and looked at her. The smile on her lips had an indescribable meaning. To Anran, it made her feel very uncomfortable.

“Yup,” Holding the handle tightly, Anran said a little coldly, ” I think I’ve bought everything I wanted to buy today. Miss Ling, please feel free to buy anything else you want. I’ll take my leave first. &Quot; Then, he chuckled and looked at the watch on his wrist. &Quot; I’m sorry, Yicheng will be off work soon. I have to rush back to cook, so I can’t talk much. &Quot;

Ling LAN saw that she was still smiling and nodded. &Quot; please go ahead. &Quot; Although he said it with a smile, his tone and smile were obviously much more stiff and unnatural than before.

An ran nodded and pushed the cart past her. He did not look at her again and walked straight ahead.

Ling LAN turned to look at her back. The smile on her face was still there, but her grip on the handle of the trolley had clearly become much stronger. Her entire finger joints were starting to turn white-it was clear how much strength she was using.

When Anran got home, she put the food on the kitchen counter in a fit of pique. She stared at it for a while, then pouted in grievance. She washed the rice and put it in the rice cooker to cook. While he was cooking, he reached out and took the corn. His actions were a little childish. He broke the sweet corn and placed it on the plate one by one, setting it aside for later use.

Then, he used clear water to wash the small stalks of bok choy and remove the remaining leaves. Finally, he cleaned the box of plump and lean pork chops and placed raw water into the pot to cook. When the pork chops were fully cooked and the soup was boiled until only half a bowl was left, he added vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and sugar. He then turned the fire back to a small pot and waited until the soup was less than four molecules and thick. Finally, he added two spoons of white sugar and heated the soup over high heat. After that, he lifted the pot and placed it on a plate.

Then, he took out the ham from the refrigerator and cut it into small pieces. After that, he put some cold oil in the pot and directly stir-fried the corn and ham in the cold oil. When the fragrance was out, he directly added the ingredients into the pot. Finally, he directly boiled the washed bok choy into a soup with clear water.

She had learned these three dishes from Chengxiang’s recipe that she had taken from Lin Li’s house last time. They were relatively easy to understand, and the steps were not complicated, so she could remember them at once. However, it was his first time trying to make it today. As for the taste, it was still unknown.

When Anran finished cooking all the dishes, the rice in the rice cooker honked at the same time. The food was taken from the glass counter and placed on the bar counter behind them. No one opened the door at this time.

Su Yicheng came in with a briefcase, changed his shoes at the entrance, and then entered the living room. He asked about the smell of food that wafted in the air, and looked up at Anran, who was standing behind the bar counter with an apron around her. She was still holding the dishes that she hadn’t put down in time. As she watched quietly, he felt as if this scene had never appeared in his dreams before. Every day after work, the room was no longer cold and unwarm. Someone had left the dark yellow but warm light on for him at the entrance. After he placed his briefcase on the sofa in the living room, he could see that in the kitchen, someone was holding the freshly prepared food and smiling at him, gently calling for him to go over and eat.

He looked at Anran with a smile, put the briefcase in his hand on the sofa in the living room, and walked over to her with a smile. He didn’t look at the dishes on the bar counter, but only stared straight at her. He put his hand on her waist and asked with a light smile, ” what did you do tonight? ”

Anran looked at him steadily and was confused for a moment. She almost couldn’t react and was lost in his gentle eyes. Looking at the food on the bar counter, she suddenly remembered what Ling LAN had said in the supermarket. She felt uncomfortable and a little depressed for some reason. She reached out and gently pushed him away.”See for yourself.”

Su Yicheng didn’t notice the change in her mood. When he heard her, he turned to look at the food on the bar counter with a faint smile on his face and simply said, ” “It looks pretty good.”

Anran didn’t say anything. She only turned around and took out the bowls and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet. Then, she ladled a bowl of rice and placed it on the table. She glanced at him indifferently and only said, ” “Wash your hands before you eat.” Then, she turned around and filled half a bowl for herself and placed it in front of him.

Su Yicheng happily turned around and washed his hands in the sink, then wiped them with a towel. He couldn’t wait to sit down at the bar counter and pick up his chopsticks to pick up the food.

He picked up the sweet and sour ribs and put them in his mouth. He chewed them gently and frowned slightly. He glanced at an ran beside him, but in the end, he didn’t spit them out and swallowed them directly.

Anran didn’t miss the moment when he frowned. She was a little disappointed. Perhaps it was just as Ling LAN had said-he really didn’t like these dishes. However, he had always been a considerate man, so no matter how much he didn’t like them, he wouldn’t show it. He wouldn’t let everyone see it, and he could still finish the food in his hand in one go without a change in expression.

Anran picked up the soup spoon on the table, scooped up a large spoonful of ham and corn, and put it in su Yicheng’s bowl. She only said softly, ” “Try this.”

Su Yicheng still looked at her with a half-smile, nodded, and put a large spoonful into his mouth. The unique smell of the corn still made him a little uncomfortable, so he frowned slightly, but he quickly swallowed it without chewing too much.

Anran still didn’t miss the slight frown caused by the corn, and it was proof of that. When he reached his chopsticks toward the vegetable soup, Anran suddenly reached out to grab his hand, shook her head, and simply said, ” “If you’re not used to it and don’t like it, then don’t force yourself.”

Su Yicheng looked at her in a daze, only to realize that she seemed a little off at night. “What’s the matter?”

Anran shook her head and got up. &Quot; I’ll cook for you, ” she said. &Quot; I’ll cook for you. &Quot; Perhaps, compared to these, the noodle soup might be more to his taste.

Su Yicheng was a little puzzled as he reached out to grab her. He stood up, looked at her, and asked, ” “What’s wrong?”

Anran lowered her head and only shook it lightly.”It’s nothing,”

Su Yicheng looked at her steadily, then reached out to lift her head so that she could look straight into his eyes. With an overbearing aura that couldn’t be ignored, he said, ” &Quot; Anran, tell me, what happened today? ”

Anran looked at him for a while, then turned her head away. She didn’t want to look at him, so she said in a muffled voice, ” “I just found out by accident that you don’t like to eat these.” Just like what ye Ziwen had said in the car, she didn’t seem to understand su Yicheng at all. Not to mention the illusory things in his heart, even the simple question of what he liked to eat and what he didn’t like to eat was something she had to hear from others. It was a terrible feeling, and it made her very unhappy.

Su Yicheng was taken aback by her answer, and he was a little surprised. He turned her face to him and asked seriously, ” “Who did you hear that from?”

Anran looked at him for a while before she slowly said, ” &Quot; when I went to the supermarket last night, I met Ling LAN. She saw me buying these and then told me that you actually don’t like these things. &Quot; She lowered her head and muttered, ” I don’t seem to know what you like or hate. Just as they say, we’re husband and wife, but I don’t seem to know you at all. I even have to learn the most basic habits and likes from others. It’s quite unbelievable no matter how I think about it. &Quot; I don’t like this feeling, especially not knowing your habits and hobbies from other people. No matter how I listen to it, I feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.” To be honest, this was what she was thinking at the moment.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng was stunned for a while before he finally reacted and said, ” “If you want to know, you can ask me directly. It’s okay.”

Anran was stunned. He didn’t even nod.

Su Yicheng chuckled and touched her face, then asked, ” &Quot; can I take your actions just now as jealousy? ”

Anran turned her head away sullenly and said in a low voice, ” &Quot; I’m just a little awkward. Also, I feel that some things will be more interesting and meaningful if I slowly understand them by myself. It feels particularly bad to hear it from other people’s mouths like this. &Quot; Especially when that person was Ling LAN. She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she just had these small emotions. She knew that she didn’t mind everything that happened between him and Ling LAN, but when she really thought about how close they were to her before, she felt really uncomfortable. Her emotions would also become especially low. She didn’t want to be like this, but she couldn’t control it. She didn’t like the current her at all.

Su Yicheng laughed, then turned around and picked up the spoon in the bowl on the bar counter. He reached out and took a spoonful of the corn, then put it into his mouth. The unique smell of the corn was indeed not very pleasing to him, but when he thought about how this was the most formal dinner she had made for him, he was more delighted than the taste. As he chewed, he tasted the sweet taste of the corn for the first time. It was refreshing, and it was not as annoying or unacceptable as he thought. Looking at Anran, he smiled faintly and said, ” “It’s delicious.”

Anran looked at him with a pout and said, ” “You don’t have to force yourself. You’ll make me feel that I’m selfish.”

Su Yicheng shook his head, took another mouthful, and swallowed it. &Quot; &Quot; it’s true that I don’t like the smell of corn, but it’s different because you made it. My desire to eat won over the taste. It’s not that I’m forcing myself, but I just want to eat the dinner you made for me. I don’t feel wronged. Instead, I feel very happy. &Quot;

Anran looked at him and said in a reproachful tone, ” you only know how to say nice things to coax me. &Quot;

Su Yicheng smiled and shook his head. &Quot; I’m just telling the truth. It’s always very pleasant to hear the truth from others. &Quot;

Anran laughed out loud. &Quot; you’re being unreasonable, ” she scolded jokingly. &Quot; no matter what, you’re the one who’s right. &Quot;

Su Yicheng pulled her over and held her small hand in his big palm. He chuckled and looked at her, then said seriously, ” &Quot; Anran, I know what it means to progress a little too fast. It’s normal that you can’t understand me in a short period of time. We’re different from other people. They fell in love before getting married, and we got married before falling in love. The sequence is reversed. You can’t expect us to be like them, who have known each other for several years. We can only slowly get to know each other in each other’s lives. If you think that you’re taking too long to get to know each other, then just ask me directly if there’s anything you want to know. I’ll tell you everything and won’t hide anything from you. Is that okay?”

Anran looked at him for a long time. Then, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up and she nodded heavily. &Quot; yes. &Quot;

Su Yicheng laughed, then pulled her to sit down again and said, ” I’m so hungry. Don’t cook any noodles. Eat with me. &Quot;

Anran nodded and sat back in her seat. She picked up her bowl and took a small bite of rice, then reached out with her chopsticks toward the sweet and sour pork ribs. There didn’t seem to be a lot of dishes today, but it was actually her first time making them. She had just finished cooking and hadn’t had the chance to taste them before he came back, so she didn’t know how the dishes she made today tasted.

Anran’s chopsticks hadn’t yet touched the sweet and sour ribs when su Yicheng suddenly reached out and took the ribs away. He looked at her and said in a domineering manner, ” I especially like this rib tonight, so it’s all mine. You can eat something else. &Quot;

Anran looked at him, a little confused. This kind of domineering behavior seemed a little different from his usual behavior, but she couldn’t tell what was strange about it. She frowned for a while before she nodded in a daze. She reached out with her chopsticks and finally picked up a small piece of boiled rape.

Su Yicheng smiled and finished the sweet and sour ribs, leaving not a single piece behind. As he ate, he seemed to have drunk a lot of vegetable soup, as if he was very thirsty.

After dinner, su Yicheng offered to wash the dishes, but Anran didn’t insist. Remembering that she still had to rush the design drawings that night, she went straight back to the study.

Then, su Yicheng also entered the study with his briefcase and sat down on a rattan chair on the side of the study. He took out a document from his briefcase and read it. Because he was really in a hurry to draw the design, Anran didn’t hold back and offered him the study. She concentrated on the design plan that she drew yesterday and decorated it bit by bit. However, while she was drawing, she also noticed su Yicheng’s strangeness tonight. Finally, when he got up and went to the emperor’s Cup tea room, she said, Anran finally couldn’t help but ask, ” “What did you eat for dinner? why did you drink so much water?” Was the food she made too salty? That shouldn’t be the case. She didn’t think so even when she ate!

Su Yicheng looked at her and seemed to be struggling for a while before he finally shook his head and said, ” “Wife, sweet and sour pork ribs, can we not use salt as sugar in the future?”
