Qin Yun entered the room and saw Anran sitting on the sofa in a daze. She knew that Ling LAN must have said something to her.
She placed the thermos flask on the low table and glanced at the extinguished cigarette butt on the fruit plate. She frowned. This must have been left behind by the Ling family girl. She moved the fruit plate away and called out, â Anran. &Quot;
Anran was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She looked at Qin Yun, twitched her lips, and said, â âMom, youâre here.â
Qin Yun smiled at her and handed her the thermos on the table. Then, she pulled her up. &Quot; go, go back to the room first. Thereâs a strong smell of smoke here. Itâs not good for the child. &Quot;
Anran nodded and went back to the bedroom with the thermos.
After Anran left, Qin Yun immediately opened all the windows in the house, cleaned up the ashes on the floor, and the cigarette butt on the coffee table. She also washed the fruit platter a few times and cleaned the entire living room. After she was done, Qin Yun knocked on the door and went into the bedroom to look for an ran.
He knocked on the door, opened it, and went in. He saw an ran sitting on the bed, still holding the thermos in her hands. Her movements were exactly the same as when she had been sitting in the living room.
Qin Yun shook her head and took the thermal flask from her arms. She chuckled and said, â âI didnât come all the way here to let you hug me and keep me warm.â
As he spoke, he took the thermos out and soon came back with a bowl of hot chicken soup. He brought it to Anran and said, â &Quot; come, quickly drink the chicken soup. I stewed it for the whole day yesterday. You have to drink it all. &Quot;
An ran chuckled and took it with both hands. She said to Qin Yun, â âThank you, Mom.â Then, he raised the cup to his mouth and took small sips.
Qin Yun sat down beside her and looked at Anran with a faint smile. &Quot; whatâs wrong? do you want to tell mom? â
Anran stopped drinking her soup, but she didnât turn around to look at Qin Yun because she didnât know what to say.
Seeing that she didnât say anything, Qin Yun didnât force her. She only smiled and said, â &Quot; itâs okay. If you donât want to say it, then donât say it. But if thereâs really something, donât keep it in your heart. If you donât want to tell mommy, go and tell your good friend. You donât even know that youâre feeling terrible about it, and neither do you know about it. Do you understand? â
......
Anran knew that she had misunderstood, but she didnât open her mouth to explain. She only nodded slightly and lowered her head to drink the soup.
Qin Yun looked at Anran and recalled the way Ling LAN had left. She couldnât help but curse su Yicheng in her heart. She thought that he had already figured out everything about Ling LAN, but who knew that Ling LAN would actually come into their room!
An ranâs personality was too good and gentle. Even when she spoke, she spoke softly. It could be said that she had watched the Ling familyâs girl grow up. Although she looked soft and weak, she had a sinister nature in her bones and was very scheming. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would not have dared to come back after such a big incident. Perhaps she should have a good talk with the Ling family. Now that Anran was pregnant, it was a special period. She couldnât let that girl cause any trouble.
Anran finished the bowl of chicken soup that Qin Yun had added to it. She stood up and was about to take the bowl out, but Qin Yun took it from her.
âGive it to me,â Qin Yun took the bowl with a chuckle. She reached out to stroke Anranâs hair and said, â are you tired? if youâre tired, then sleep for a while. Pregnant women should pay more attention to rest. &Quot;
In fact, Anran didnât feel sleepy, but she was really tired. She only nodded. &Quot; yes. &Quot;
After Anran fell asleep, Qin Yun turned around and left the room. She looked at the time and directly picked up her phone to call su Yicheng. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Before su Yicheng could say anything, Qin Yun immediately started scolding him, â su Yicheng, what are you doing? you only know how to be busy all day. You canât even protect your wife and child, and you let someone come into your house. What does Ling LAN want to do? Donât make a decision immediately. Did your father and I teach you this?â
On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng was completely confused. He had no idea what she was talking about, and he had no idea what she was talking about! &Quot; mom, what are you talking about? what happened to Ling LAN? â What âenter the hallâ, whatâ break offâ, he didnât understand a single word!
âWhatâs going on between you and Ling LAN?â Qin Yun questioned. Her tone and attitude were completely like she was defending an ranâs interests.
&Quot; What do you mean whatâs going on with Ling LAN?! &Quot; Su Yicheng frowned.
&Quot; when I came here today to deliver the chicken soup to Anran, I saw her standing at the elevator door as soon as I got out of the elevator. When I arrived at your apartment, the door wasnât locked. I saw Anran sitting on the sofa in a daze. She looked like a fool. When I asked her what Ling LAN said to her, she only shook her head and didnât answer. &Quot; Qin Yun said honestly.
On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng frowned and was silent for a while, only asking, â âWhereâs Anran now?â
âSheâs asleep, but she still looks unhappy.â Qin Yun said worriedly, â Chen, you have to be clear about your position. You have a wife now, and youâll be a father soon. I can see that you like Anran a lot. Donât let others misunderstand and think that you have a chance. &Quot; Qin Yun stopped there, knowing that he understood what she meant.
On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng was silent for a while, and after a long time, he faintly nodded and replied, â &Quot; I know. Mom, help me look after Anran first. That girl tends to overthink things. Iâll go back after Iâm done here. &Quot;
âYes.â Qin Yun nodded in agreement. Even if he didnât say anything, she still wanted to stay and wait for his return. Of course, she would dote on her own daughter-in-law.
Anran didnât know how long she had slept. In fact, she didnât feel very sleepy at first. As she lay down, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep without knowing how. She turned around and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was almost six O âclock. She remembered that it was not even three Oâ clock when she lay down. She did not expect to sleep for more than three hours.
She closed her eyes and lay in bed for a while. When she was completely awake, an ran lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She went into the bathroom to wash up, then opened the door and went out. Outside the door, she heard su Yicheng and Qin Yun talking about something. When he saw her come out, he immediately cut off the topic and said nothing more.
Anran, youâre awake. &Quot; Qin Yun looked at her and said with a smile.
Anran scratched her head and said, a little embarrassed, â I think I overslept. &Quot;
Su Yicheng stood up and stared at her as she walked toward him. He reached out to push her bangs aside and asked softly, â âAre you hungry?â
Anran shook her head. &Quot; not yet. &Quot; Actually, how could he get hungry so easily? he didnât exercise at all. He just ate and slept. He didnât exercise at all. How could he get hungry so easily?
Seeing them like this, Qin Yun raised her hand and looked at the time. It was indeed getting late. Also, she saw that the couple should have a chat. She stood up and said, â &Quot; alright, itâs getting late. Your father just called me to ask where I went. &Quot;
âStay for a meal before you leave.â Anran said, a little embarrassed. It was rare for Qin Yun to come here, and she should have accompanied her and had a good chat, but she had actually slept so late.
&Quot; no need. The Auntie in the courtyard has already cooked my rice. Iâll have it when I get back. &Quot; Qin Yun chuckled as she walked towards them.
âMom, Iâll send you home.â Su Yicheng said.
&Quot; no need. If you have extra time, you should spend it with Anran. When I came here before, it was the orderly who sent me here. I guess sheâs still waiting downstairs, bored. &Quot; Qin Yun said. She took Anranâs hand and placed it in her palm. &Quot; &Quot; Anran, if ah Zhen dares to bully you, you can find mom to back you up. If you canât, find dad or grandpa and let them discipline her like theyâre training a soldier. &Quot;
Anran chuckled and nodded. &Quot; Thank you, Mom. &Quot;
âSilly girl.â Qin Yun patted her hand and only let go after a while. &Quot; &Quot; alright, Iâm going back too. If youâre hungry later, heat up the food and eat. &Quot;
âYes, yes.â Anran nodded and walked Qin Yun to the door with su Yicheng. When they wanted to see her off, Qin Yun stubbornly refused. Before she left, she even gave su Yicheng a look, as if she was hinting at something.
After Qin Yun left, only su Yicheng and Anran were left in the room.
Su Yicheng looked at her and reached out to pinch her nose. He asked, â mom said Ling LAN came over in the afternoon? â
Anran looked at him and remembered what Ling LAN had said to him in the afternoon.
Seeing that she was silent, su Yicheng pulled her to sit down on the sofa in the living room, held her in his arms, and gently said, â I donât know what Ling LAN said to you, but Anran, do you believe me? â
Anran nodded. She believed him. Even though they didnât know each other from the beginning, she had never doubted him.
Su Yicheng chuckled and lowered his head to play with her small hands. She had a pair of beautiful hands with slender and long fingers, which looked very suitable for playing the piano. No one would be able to tell that she was actually a designer, and an architectural designer at that. He scratched her palm and asked with a smile, â &Quot; you believed in me, but you were still influenced by others, huh? â
His palm was tickled, so he dodged and said in a low voice, â âI didnât.â She was clearly feeling guilty, and her voice was so soft that she could barely hear herself.
âYou, your feelings are written all over your face.â Su Yicheng leaned close to her ear and gently bit it. &Quot; you scared mom like this, so she called me and lectured me. &Quot;
âAh!â An ran was a little surprised and turned to look at him. &Quot; I didnât know! &Quot;
&Quot; yes, yes. I know you donât know because youâre asleep. &Quot; Su Yicheng nodded and pressed his forehead against hers. &Quot; tell me, what did Ling LAN tell you? â
Anran looked at the handsome face in front of her. He was really outstanding, so it was no wonder that Ling LAN would try to get him back by any means possible. Thinking back to what she had said in the afternoon, Anran felt a sense of panic in her heart. Actually, it wasnât that she was worried that she didnât trust him. It was just that she cared about him, so she was a little scared.
She reached out and slowly covered his face, her fingers tracing the outline of his face. After a while, she said softly, â have you been busy with work recently? Did things not go well?â
Su Yicheng let her touch him, nodded, and replied, â âYes, but it didnât go badly.â
Anran smiled and said, â in the afternoon, Ling LAN said that she wanted to make a deal with me. As long as Iâm willing to abort the child and leave, she will let you go. &Quot; Actually, she didnât want to hide it from him. After all, this matter was related to him. It didnât matter whether Ling LAN was telling the truth or not. She just wanted to tell him so that he would be on his guard.
Upon hearing this, su Yichengâs face suddenly darkened, and a trace of ruthlessness and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He let go of her and said coldly, â âWhat right does she have?â He was no longer as gentle and elegant as before, and he seemed to have changed completely. An ran had never seen him like this.
Looking at him, Anran knew that his anger was directed at Ling LAN, but she didnât like the way he was acting. She reached out and touched his face, touching his slightly stiff facial muscles. Her small hands gently rubbed them, as if she wanted to rub him back to the original su Yicheng.
Only then did su Yicheng realize that he had lost his composure and looked at her apologetically. He pulled her hand over to his lips and kissed it carefully, as if he were treating a precious treasure, then he said softly, â âIâm sorry. Did I scare you?â
Anran shook her head. &Quot; no, I just donât like it. &Quot;
He pulled her into his arms again and patted her back gently. Then, he asked gently by her ear, â did you agree to her? â
Anran shook her head in his arms and said firmly, â âNo, how could I not want a baby? besides, our marriage is not a bet or a product. How could I make a deal?â
Su Yicheng couldnât help but tighten his arms around her. He didnât even realize that at this moment, there was a beautiful smile on the corners of his mouth.
Anran continued. &Quot; unless you personally tell me that you donât want me and that you want to end this marriage with me, I wonât use our marriage to exchange for anything. I wonât trade anything. &Quot;
âI wonât!â Su Yicheng suddenly let go of her and stared at her, as if he was making a promise, â âI wonât, I will never!â
Anran looked at him seriously, then smiled and replied softly, â I donât know how to either. &Quot;
Su Yicheng looked at the corners of her lips that were smiling coquettishly, and his heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and kissed her directly. He kissed her very hard, without the slightest hint of the gentleness he had in the past.
Although Anranâs reaction was a little slow, and she was a little hurt by his slightly rough movements tonight, she didnât push him away.
Su Yicheng seemed to be encouraged, and his kiss became even more passionate, as if he was going to drown the two of them.
&Quot; Wu, Wu, Wu. &Quot; an ran moaned. She was a little breathless from the kiss. Her lips seemed to be swollen from someoneâs kiss, and they were burning in pain.
It seemed that he had been suppressing his enthusiasm for a long time, and once it erupted, it was a little difficult to control. Su Yicheng was clearly an extremely rational person, but tonight, he had become an indescribable madness.
It took a while for the two of them to calm down from their passion. Su Yicheng let go of her and got up, then put on the clothes he had ripped off for her.
An ran blushed shyly. She turned her head away and lowered her eyes, not looking at him. After she had put on her clothes, su Yicheng took her into his arms again and gently held her in his arms. He put his hand around her waist and placed his large palm on her lower abdomen, then whispered softly in her ear, â baby, be good and grow up quickly. &Quot;
Anran was amused by his childish behavior, but she didnât refute him. She just relaxed herself and let herself lean into his arms, allowing him to hold her completely. Then, he said calmly, â Ling LAN said that if I agree to let go, abort the child, and divorce you, she can help you. If I donât agree, then someone will come and investigate you. Whether you did anything wrong or not, if they want to investigate, they will have enough reasons to bring you down. &Quot;
Su Yicheng sneered. &Quot; Jiang city is run by the Ling family. &Quot; In fact, Ling Chuanjiang had also talked to him before, and it seemed that he had the intention of roping him in. He did not respond, and then it seemed that some things had changed. Perhaps he had already hindered someoneâs interests in his position. It was not difficult to detect that Ling Chuanjiangâs recent attitude towards him was about to be taken action. But if they had the means, would he just let them do as they pleased?
He lowered his head again and turned her body around. He looked at her and asked, â âYou donât believe me?â She didnât believe that he could protect her?
Anran looked at him, shook her head, and said, â âNo, itâs not that I donât believe you, Iâm just afraid.â
Su Yicheng looked at her, as if he didnât understand what she meant.
Anran explained, â I believe in your ability, but Iâm still afraid. I donât know much about politics, so I donât know how it works and whatâs at stake. I just feel very helpless and flustered. I know that you might be in danger, and I know that someone wants to harm you, but I can only stand by and not know what to do. I might even become an obstacle to you. &Quot;
Su Yicheng sighed softly, reached out, and held her face. He looked at her seriously and said, â Anran, even if they want to frame me and plot against me, believe me, I can face all of this. Nothing will happen! &Quot;
Anran nodded, but her expression was a little helpless as she said, â &Quot; I know, I know youâll definitely be able to handle it, but ... But I still canât help but worry. Iâm scared for no reason, and I donât know why itâs like this. &Quot; In the afternoon, when Ling LAN was talking about all this, she knew that he wasnât a weakling that could be easily framed, but she still couldnât help but feel worried and scared. However, if she really had to say what she was feeling, she didnât know what she was worried about and afraid of.
âSilly girl.â Su Yicheng chuckled and pulled her into his arms again, his hand gently patting her back. &Quot; donât think about it. Just stand by my side. No matter what happens, stand by my side with determination. Donât go away, understand? â
âYes, yes.â In his arms, Anran nodded firmly and reached out to hug him back. &Quot; I wonât abandon the child, and I wonât abandon our marriage. &Quot;
Su Yicheng chuckled and hugged her even more tightly. As long as she was determined enough to stay by his side, he would have enough confidence and motivation to cut off all the obstacles in front of them and give her and their child the greatest happiness.
The two of them embraced each other for a long time before su Yicheng let her go. He stroked her face and gently asked, â âCan you eat with me? Iâm so hungry after working all day.â
Anran nodded with a chuckle. When she got up, she leaned close to his ear, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered to him, â âI seem to love you more than I thought!â Because they loved each other deeply, she didnât care about it at all. That was why she was flustered and afraid for no reason.
Su Yicheng was stunned. Before he could react, the person beside him had already let go of him and walked toward the kitchen with light steps. She turned around and looked back at him with a faint smile. &Quot; go wash your hands. Iâll heat up the food. &Quot;
Su Yicheng also smiled and nodded at her. The smile on his face was big, filled with happiness and satisfaction.
