“Why did you steal my design?” An ran looked at him and asked.

If she hadn’t met him, she wouldn’t have wanted to mention this matter again. But now that she had met him here, she wanted to ask for an explanation.

Mo Fei looked at her and frowned. He didn’t seem to understand what she was saying. He asked in confusion, ” what do you mean by stealing your design? What do you mean by that?”

Anran looked at him and smiled faintly. She shook her head and seemed to be a little emotional. She sighed and said in a low voice, ” “Since when did you have to steal other people’s designs?”

Mo Fei turned his shoulder around and looked at her. &Quot; I don’t understand what you mean. When did I steal your designs? ” Even if he wanted to steal, he wouldn’t steal hers! No matter how despicable and unscrupulous he was, even if they were no longer together, he would not do anything to hurt her!

Anran looked at him with a cold expression on her face. &Quot; if you need me to remind you before you can remember, then I don’t mind reminding you that your company won the bid for the ‘ruohui event Manor’ project, and the design of that project was made by you, right? ”

Mo Fei looked at her and seemed to have thought of something. He widened his eyes in disbelief. &Quot; you ... &Quot;

“Did you really design that project? Did the contents really all come from your inspiration?” Anran looked at him and questioned him. Her eyes were full of anger and were a little threatening.

Mo Fei looked at her with a shocked expression, as if he was surprised, as if he was very surprised. He looked at her for a long time before he said in disbelief, ” you, you mean that, that design is yours? ” Wasn’t Xiao nuo the work of a newcomer in the company? He spent money to buy it! How did it become an ran’s design now? What the hell is going on!

&Quot; 80% of your design is the same as mine, even the numbers are the same. My design was stolen a week before the bid. Do you think it’s a coincidence? ” An ran asked him with a faint smile.

&Quot; but Xiao nuo said that the drawing was a Kasaya. &Quot;

Anran looked at him and shook her head. She could only sigh. &Quot; time is really a powerful thing. It can change people beyond recognition. &Quot; The big boy who had held her hand and walked by the lake while talking about his dream, the man who had been obsessed with design but had made dozens of changes to the design of a balcony, had lost his passion for design after six years. He had even fallen to the point of stealing other people’s designs. Time was really a terrible thing.

He let go of her with a bitter smile. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at her with some hope, asking, ” &Quot; since this is your design, did you not call the police because you were considerate of our past feelings? ”

......

“Hehe.” Anran sneered and looked at him. &Quot; Huang Dexing was the one who stole the design, and he was also the one who gave you the design. If I call the police, I don’t have any evidence. Who would believe me? ” Who would believe that a company’s manager would steal their own design and give it to someone else? If it had not happened to her, she would not have believed it.

Su Yicheng explained, ” I don’t know. I don’t know anything at all. When Xiaoxiao gave me the design, she only said that it was made by a new employee in the company. She was willing to sell the design because she lacked money. I never thought that it would be yours! &Quot; He really didn’t think about it, and he didn’t understand why Tong Xiaojie would do this!

Anran shook her head. &Quot; is there a difference? ” Does it make a difference whose?” In the end, he was the one who stole other people’s designs.

Mo Fei was at a loss for words and looked at her, unable to say a word.

Anran turned her head and no longer looked at him. Perhaps he hadn’t changed. He was just anxious and never recognized him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until he turned around to find out that what he wanted was money and power that she couldn’t give him.

The two of them just stood there, not saying a word. Anran looked ahead with a calm and indifferent expression, while mo Fei, who was standing beside her, was silent and a little gloomy.

Suddenly, the restaurant’s door was pushed open, and Lin Li was the first to come out. Her face was calm, but her expression was a little stiff. Chengxiang didn’t come out after her.

Seeing her come out, Anran went up to her. Seeing that she was still holding her bag tightly, Anran looked at her worriedly and called out softly, ” “Lin Li ...”

He only looked at her indifferently and said in a slightly tense voice, ” “Let’s go,”

An ran didn’t say much and left with Lin Li.

The two of them stopped a taxi at the intersection and got into the car. The driver in the car asked Anran where they were going several times, but Anran didn’t know how to answer. After Lin Li rushed into the car, she turned her head and looked out the window, with no intention of saying anything at all. In the end, Anran couldn’t tell her the address, so she could only ask the driver to circle around the city center. For this reason, the taxi driver even looked at them strangely for a long time.

Anran looked at her. She wanted to ask her something, but in the end, she didn’t. Just like that, the two of them sat in the car and circled around the city center for nearly half an hour. At this time, Lin Li’s phone rang, and Lin Li finally came back to her senses. She took her phone out of her bag and looked at the caller ID on the screen. She calmed her emotions down and only picked up her phone after a long time.

It was a call from mother Lin. Seeing that Lin Li hadn’t returned so late, she was a little worried, so she called. &Quot; Xiao Li, where are you? it’s so late and you’re not back. &Quot;

Lin Li said indifferently, trying her best to make her tone sound normal. She forced a smile and said with a faint smile, ” &Quot; I just had dinner with Anran. I’m about to go back. &Quot; Before he hung up, he did not forget to ask out of concern, ” “Is daddy asleep?”

&Quot; yeah, she’s asleep. I was worried since you weren’t back yet. &Quot; Mother Lin said.

“Yes, I’ll be back soon.” Lin Li said.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li turned to look at Anran and said with a faint smile, ” “We can’t go shopping tonight. Let’s do it another day.”

There was no time to shop now. Anran looked at her, still a little worried, and said, ” “Lin Li, are you okay?”

Lin Li laughed. Her face was no longer as tense and serious as before. She was so calm that no one could see her emotions. She only said indifferently, ” “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Knowing that she didn’t want to talk about it, Anran didn’t ask anymore and just nodded. &Quot; let the driver take you back first, in case mother Lin gets worried. &Quot;

Lin Li thought for a moment, nodded, and told the driver the address.

When the car arrived at the apartment building, Lin Li opened the door and got out. Anran was still a little worried, so she took her hand and said seriously, ” “Don’t keep it to yourself. Call me if you feel uncomfortable.”

Lin Li smiled at her to comfort her. &Quot; I’m fine. You, on the other hand, are you okay going back alone? ”

An ran knew that she was trying to be brave, but she had no choice. In the end, she could only nod.

Lin Li didn’t seem to be at ease either. She repeatedly told the driver to send her home. In addition, she especially emphasized to the driver that the person sitting in his car was a pregnant woman, so he shouldn’t drive too fast and that it was most important to drive steadily.

After they turned around and left the single apartment, the driver looked at Anran through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, ” “Your friend is very concerned about you.” She had actually reminded him no less than five times, deeply afraid that he would drive her away.

Anran nodded and said firmly, ” yes, she is my best friend. &Quot;

When she arrived at her and su Yicheng’s apartment building, Anran paid the taxi fare but didn’t go straight upstairs. Instead, she stood in the lobby downstairs and directly called someone upstairs. The person upstairs seemed to be guarding the phone, and the call was picked up immediately after it rang. A warm and pleasant voice sounded in her ear, ” where are you? I’ll go and pick you up now. &Quot;

Anran chuckled. &Quot; it’s quite far, ” she said deliberately. &Quot; why don’t I go back by myself? ”

Almost without thinking, su Yicheng insisted on saying, ” “I’ll pick you up. Tell me the address.” There was a strong attitude in his tone that made it impossible to refuse.

Anran smiled, and her heart was filled with sweetness and warmth. She rolled her big black eyes and said with a smile, ” “I’m still at Guilin Road. Are you really coming over?” Guilin Road was about half an hour’s drive away from here, which was really far.

“The specific address.” Su Yicheng said. As he spoke, he seemed to be reaching for something, and Anran seemed to hear the sound of him taking the key and closing the door. &Quot; tell me the exact address. I’ll go over to find you now. &Quot;

Anran gave him a random address, then ran over to the elevator door in a playful manner. She held the phone in her hand and chatted with him, her eyes fixed on the red light that was jumping on the wall.

When the elevator reached the last floor, the door opened with a ding. Anran looked at su Yicheng, who was talking to him on the phone, with a beautiful smile on her face. It was so sweet and warm that it was especially beautiful.

Anran waved the phone in her hand and hung up the call. She smiled at him. &Quot; are you here to take me home? ”

Su Yicheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. He stepped out of the elevator and stood in front of her. He couldn’t help but reach out to pinch her delicate nose, and said in a slightly reproachful but doting tone, ” &Quot; didn’t you tell me to pick you up? why did you come back by yourself, huh? ”

Anran chuckled and pulled his hand over. She interlocked her fingers with his and said slyly, ” “Didn’t I ask you to come down and pick me up?”

Su Yicheng was a little defeated. He didn’t know that it could be counted like this. He clasped her hand, took the luggage from her hand, and held it in his palm, saying, ” “Let’s go home.” With that, he held her hand and led her into the elevator.

She had just returned home and was changing her shoes at the entrance when she suddenly smelled something.

Anran turned her head to look at him, a little displeased, and said, ” “You haven’t eaten yet!”

Su Yicheng smiled and didn’t refute at all. He only said, ” I’m ready to eat. &Quot;

Anran glanced at him and went straight to the kitchen. She saw a table full of documents and information on the bar table, as well as a bowl of instant noodles that had just been made.

Anran pointed at the bowl of instant noodles, looked at him, and asked, ” “You mean this is the dinner you were talking about?” Instant noodles, how could he say that.

Su Yicheng touched his nose guiltily, coughed lightly, and replied, ” “Yes.”

“Su Yicheng! Are you a kid? don’t you know how to take care of yourself?” Anran glared at him, her cheeks puffed up in anger, but in su Yicheng’s eyes, she was indescribably cute.

“You’re not here. I feel like eating anything is the same.” Su Yicheng said with a serious face. Looking at her puffed up cheeks, he couldn’t help but want to go up and kiss her pouting red lips, but he was slapped away by a certain someone who was angry. He reached out and touched his nose, feeling a little bored.

“It would be best if everything is the same!” She looked at him and snorted angrily. She muttered softly, ” don’t think that you can get away with it by saying some sweet words. I won’t fall for it. &Quot; As he spoke, he walked around the bar counter and went straight into the kitchen. Then, he took the instant noodles from the bar counter and threw them into the trash can. “Sit down, I’ll cook you some noodles,” she said to him.

“Alright,” he said. Su Yicheng had an amused smile on his face as he obediently sat down at the bar counter. He watched as she busied herself in the kitchen for his dinner, cooking noodles and beating up eggs. In fact, her cooking skills were really average. If ye Ziwen were to describe it with his sharp tongue, it would definitely be below average. However, he would always enjoy the food. He even felt that the food was dozens of times better than the skills of the chefs outside. Sometimes, food was not only about taste, but also the heart. Although her skills were not good, the food was full of her heart. He could feel that she was trying very hard to make it better for him and make it more delicious, just because he had not had dinner and was afraid that he would be hungry.

It was still tomato sauce, just like the first time he had cooked it for him. The bright red tomatoes were covered with eggs and drizzled over the noodles. Although it wasn’t evenly distributed, and the soup wasn’t clear, su Yicheng still thought that this was the best-looking bowl of noodles.

She handed him a pair of chopsticks. He was still a little angry and said, ” “Hurry up and eat.” His tone was filled with deep displeasure.

Su Yicheng took the chopsticks with a smile and wanted to eat the noodles in big mouthfuls, but he forgot that the noodles had just been taken out of the pot and were still at an unacceptable temperature. When he ate it directly in his mouth, his tongue obviously couldn’t bear the high temperature and was scalded.

&Quot; pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. &Quot; Anran couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She stood up and poured a glass of cold water for a certain person who had scalded his mouth. She asked him to rinse his mouth and ease the pain on his tongue.

Su Yicheng took the glass and took a big gulp. Then, he put down the glass in his hand and looked at Anran fawningly. &Quot; my wife is so nice. &Quot;

“You’re so glib.” Anran rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, but she didn’t forget to say in concern, ” “Eat slowly, you’re like a child.”

She looked at this man. He was obviously very good at cooking, and he would come back to cook for her every day when he was exhausted from work. However, when it came to her, he did not know how to take care of herself at all. He even used instant noodles to dismiss her. Even she, a cooking idiot, was not willing to suffer like this.

As she thought about this, her heart ached for him, but she could not help but feel touched. Suddenly, a piece of egg flower wrapped in tomato soup was placed in front of her. She looked up and saw su Yicheng looking at her with a gentle smile, coaxing her, ” “Be good and open your mouth.”

An ran was both angry and amused. She opened her mouth and took the frangipani in front of her. It seemed that too much salt was added, and the whole taste was a little salty.

“It’s too salty, should I add some water?” he asked with a frown.

Su Yicheng refused with a faint smile. &Quot; no, it’s just nice for me. &Quot; As he said that, he took another big mouthful and finished the bowl of tomato noodles without leaving any soup.

She stood up and reached out to clear the dishes on the bar counter, but she was stopped by that pair of warm hands. Su Yicheng smiled at her and said, ” “I’ll do it.”

Anran put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and looked at him with medicine in her hands. She looked serious and said without smiling, ” “I’m very angry today!”

“Yes, it’s my fault.” Su Yicheng took the initiative to admit his mistake, and his attitude was very good.

“Then you have to listen to me tonight.” An ran looked at him and said.

Su Yicheng didn’t have any objections to this at all. He nodded with a smile and said, ” “Yes, I’ll listen to you in the future.”

“Mm, very good.” A certain someone was obviously very satisfied with his answer. Then, in view of his good performance, he reached out to touch his head and said with a satisfied smile, ” “Good girl.”

Su Yicheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her behavior and actions.

She retracted her hand and picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the bar counter again.”Then I’ll wash the dishes tonight. You’re not allowed to object.”

Su Yicheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had fallen into her trap. He shook his head in amusement, but he was touched by her thoughtfulness.

She put the bowl and chopsticks into the sink, but the whole kitchen was still filled with the smell of the instant noodles. Frowning, he turned around and said to a certain someone standing there, ” “I’ll assign you a task.” Then she bent down to pick up the garbage bag, walked around the bar counter, and walked out of the kitchen. She said, ” “Here, throw this out and throw it away.”

He reached out to take it and said in a serious tone, ” “I promise to complete the task assigned by the leader.”

Anran glanced at him in amusement, then turned around and went into the kitchen.

After Anran took a shower and changed into her pajamas, she came out of the bathroom to find that su Yicheng hadn’t returned to his room yet. She looked at the time and saw that it was 11:15 p.m. To 15 p.m., And she came out of the room while drying her hair. When she saw that the light in the study was still on, she went up to it. When she got closer, she could faintly hear su Yicheng’s voice on the phone from the half-open door.

&Quot; yes, I know. They’ve already taken action, and someone from the Commission for Discipline Inspection has already begun to contact me these few days ... &Quot; the person on the other end of the phone seemed to have said something, but su Yicheng continued, ” “En, then I’ll have to trouble you.” He hung up the phone and turned around to see Anran standing at the door in her pajamas, her hair still a little wet. She was frowning, and she looked worried about something.

Looking at the phone in his hand, su Yicheng seemed to have understood something. He shook his head with a faint smile and walked over to her. &Quot; why don’t you dry your hair first? ”

An ran didn’t say anything and just stared at him. She wanted to ask him about the phone call, but she didn’t know how to start.

Seeing that she was silent, su Yicheng took the dry towel from her hand and pulled her into the study. He made her sit on the rocking chair in the study, then gently wiped her hair with the towel, which was still slightly wet.

She reached out to hold his hand and looked at him. She asked worriedly, ” “You just said that the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection have started to get in touch with you. Is it Yingluo?”

“You’re thinking nonsense again, right?” Amused, su Yicheng interrupted her, ” don’t worry, it’s not what you think. &Quot;

“Really?” Anran was still a little worried, and when she thought about what Ling LAN had said to her last time, she couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. She was a little agitated as she said, ” “Is the Ling family trying to frame you? we can tell the Disciplinary Committee that they have bad intentions and are trying to frame us.”

“An ran.” He turned her around to calm her down and looked at her. &Quot; believe me. If I say it’s fine, it’ll be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you and the child. Believe me, okay? ”

Anran looked into his eyes. The determination in his eyes made her feel at ease, as if they had the power to bewitch people. Looking at him, Anran slowly nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot;

Su Yicheng smiled and reached out to touch her face. Her small face was a little cold because of the wet hair on her head. He frowned and said, ” “Let me dry your hair first.”

Anran nodded and sat there quietly, letting him dry her hair.

The light in the study was a little dim, and she looked a little confused. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, or perhaps it was because too many things had happened that night, but at that moment, Anran slowly closed her eyes under the dim light. She suddenly felt sleepy, like an unstoppable tide, drowning her in an instant.

Su Yicheng shook his head in amusement as he looked at the person who had fallen on the chair. He then looked at her half-dried hair, put the towel in his hand aside, and went around her body to bend down and pick her up. His sudden movement made Anran frown slightly, but she didn’t wake up. Instead, she found a comfortable position in his arms, snorted softly like a cat, and fell asleep again.

Su Yicheng lowered his head and kissed her eyes affectionately. He felt her quivering eyebrows and eyelashes, and there was a beautiful smile on his face. Then, he carried her out of the study and directly headed to the master bedroom.

He carefully placed her on the bed and laid her flat. Just as he was about to pull the thin blanket over her, the person lying on the bed suddenly reached out to pull on the corner of his clothes. She half-propped her small head up and rubbed it against his arms. She seemed to be dissatisfied with the sudden disappearance of the temperature, and her small mouth mumbled a few times.

He didn’t wake her up. Su Yicheng gently made her lie down again, and her head rested on the soft pillow. Anran frowned in dissatisfaction, not liking the softness. Su Yicheng affectionately reached out to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows, then lowered his head to kiss her bright forehead and whispered, ” go to sleep, my baby. &Quot;

He didn’t know if he really heard her, but Anran relaxed her tight frowns and smiled.

Su Yicheng couldn’t help but lower his head and gently kiss her red lips again. After a while, he let go of her and got up to cover her with the thin quilt again. However, he saw that her hand was still tightly holding onto the corner of his shirt, and her brows were furrowed unhappily.

Su Yicheng shook his head helplessly and reached out to pry her hand away. He wanted to get up and sleep by her side, but what made him feel a little helpless was that there was still a lot of work to be done today, and it seemed that he had to stay up late to work overtime!

Anran’s grip on the corner of his shirt was very tight, and su Yicheng was afraid of waking her up, so he didn’t dare to use too much force. So after a while, the hand that was holding onto the corner of his shirt was still holding on. Su Yicheng was both angry and amused. He shook his head silently, lowered his head, and gently coaxed her by her ear, ” Ranran, let go, let go, okay? ”

The sleeping Anran didn’t hear his coaxing. Instead, she turned around and grabbed his clothes with her other hand, mumbling something under her breath. Su Yicheng heard her clearly, and she said, ” “Yicheng, don’t go ...”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng really couldn’t leave. He looked at her in amusement for a long time, then finally gave up the idea of returning to the study to work. He took off his shoes, rolled over to the bed, and lay down next to her. Then, he put his hand around his neck so that her head rested on his strong arm. Anran, who was sleeping, seemed to be familiar with all of this. Her tightly furrowed brows no longer furrowed, and she snuggled up in his arms to find a comfortable position. Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and fell asleep in satisfaction.

Su Yicheng’s hand gently stroked her back, and the corners of his mouth carried a satisfied and happy smile. Then, he turned off the light in the room, and the whole room became dark. Only the faint moonlight shone in through the gauze curtains, dark and misty.

She didn’t know how long she had slept, but in the darkness, Anran seemed to have had a nightmare. She started to feel uneasy and kept calling out, ” Yicheng ... Yicheng ... &Quot; it woke up su Yicheng, who was sleeping lightly beside her.

“An ran? an ran?” Su Yicheng called out to her softly, then reached out and gently patted her back. &Quot; I’m here, I’m here, I’m here. &Quot; His hand patted her back to comfort her.

As if she heard his voice, Anran slowly calmed down, but she still kept her eyes closed and didn’t wake up. Her body instinctively leaned closer to him, and she mumbled something to herself. She hugged him so tightly that even su Yicheng felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if he would disappear if she didn’t hug him like this.

After a while, su Yicheng finally heard what she was mumbling.

She said, ” su Yicheng, you’ll be fine ... &Quot; she repeated this sentence over and over again. As she spoke, her hands hugged him even tighter.

Su Yicheng was stunned for a while, unable to express how he was feeling at the moment. After a while, he could only respond to her tight hug and whisper in her ear as if he was making a promise, ” &Quot; yes, it’ll be fine. I’ll always be by your side and the baby’s side. &Quot;

He didn’t know if an ran had heard him in her sleep, but her emotions seemed to have been soothed, and she gradually calmed down. Then, she fell asleep again under his gentle patting and comforting.

In the dark, su Yicheng gently patted her back over and over again. His eyes were wide open, and he didn’t fall asleep for a long time.

When Anran woke up again, the sky was already bright. The weather seemed to be very good today, and the sun was very bright. It directly lit up the entire room through the gauze window. The strong light was a little glaring, and she raised her hand to cover her eyes for a while before she got used to the brightness.

Su Yicheng had long disappeared from her side, and the other half of the bed was so cold that there was no warmth at all.

She turned her head and looked at the empty seat beside her for a long time, her hand gently caressing the place where he had slept. She still remembered the dream last night. It was a bit scary. She dreamed that the people from the Procuratorate came to take su Yicheng away, saying that he was suspected of corruption and bribery, and the evidence was irrefutable, so he could be convicted directly without even having to go to jail. The suspected amount of money was so huge that he didn’t even need to go to jail, and he was directly dragged out to be shot. She was so scared that she watched him being taken away by others, and she explained on his behalf that he had been wronged. However, no one listened and could only watch as he was taken into the police car. She knew that it was a dream, but she was so scared that she couldn’t wake up. Then, she could still remember someone hugging her tightly in her sleep, patting her gently, and whispering in her ear over and over again that she was fine. The voice was very warm, and it slowly calmed her down.

She lay on the bed for a while more. Just as Anran was about to get up, the door opened, and su Yicheng pushed the door open. His movements were very light, and when his eyes happened to meet her wide eyes, the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc. Without any hesitation, he went straight in, walked over to her, and bent over to give her a good morning kiss.

After sleeping for the whole night, Anran’s mouth felt terrible. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but he didn’t give her a chance. He held her face and kissed her.

When Anran felt that she was almost out of breath, su Yicheng finally let go of her, kissed her eyes and forehead, and whispered in her ear, ” “Good Morning,” she said.

“Morning.” An ran’s voice was a little ethereal, soft, and charming.

After he let go of her and got up, su Yicheng raised his head and saw her mumbling, and his eyebrows furrowed unhappily. “What’s the matter?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.

Anran awkwardly covered her mouth with her hand and mumbled, ” “I haven’t even brushed my teeth ...”

Her small face was scrunched up into a ball, which was very cute in su Yicheng’s eyes. He laughed and pulled down her hand and kissed her lips again, then pressed his head against her forehead and said, ” “I did, did you taste it?”

Anran patted him angrily and mumbled, ” “You’re not afraid of getting dirty.”

“Hahaha.” Su Yicheng laughed heartily and looked at her. The look in his eyes seemed to be able to make her sink into his gaze. He stroked her delicate skin and said, ” I don’t mind because it’s you. &Quot;

Anran felt that su Yicheng was really the best person in the world at saying sweet words and sweet nothings, and his skills were particularly superb. His sweet words didn’t make people feel disgusted or uncomfortable. Although they were sweet, they were the kind of sweetness that wouldn’t make people sick of them. Instead, they would always make people subconsciously sink into the range of happiness, which was a very comfortable feeling.

“Get up, breakfast is ready.” He kissed her gently and pulled her up. He said, &Quot; there’s an urgent meeting in the morning. I have to go there immediately. Make something for lunch. Don’t go hungry, okay? ”

Anran nodded and muttered in a low voice, ” I won’t be like someone who uses instant noodles to get rid of herself. &Quot; She was petty and still remembered what happened last night.

“Hahaha.” Su Yicheng laughed and turned around. He took out the suit he was going to wear today from the closet and changed into it. Then, he raised his hand to look at the time, lovingly touched her head, and then touched his still flat stomach. He gently kissed her belly button through her pajamas, which was the closest place to the baby in her belly. “Be good,” she said softly. She didn’t know if it was for her or the ‘little lover’ in her stomach.

Anran raised her head and touched his head. She stuck her fingers into his soft hair and gently stroked it. Thinking about the dream last night, she still felt a little scared. After a long silence, she finally asked softly, ” it’ll really be fine, right? ” She was uneasy, even though he had promised her again and again that it was not that she did not trust him. She was just afraid and worried. No matter what, she could not completely ignore it and be at ease.

This change happened so quickly that su Yicheng was stunned for a moment before he realized what she was talking about. He stood up, looked at her, and promised her again, ” “I’ll really be fine. Don’t worry.” Actually, it felt good to be cared for. Sometimes, even parents couldn’t give her this kind of care. However, it felt good to be constantly worried about by her. Of course, the only difference was that she was always frowning, which made him a little unhappy.

An ran smiled, but it was just a quiet and faint smile. She reached out and touched her face, then nodded and replied softly, ” “Yes.”

Su Yicheng held her small hand and gently placed it on his lips, kissing it as he looked at her with a smile.

After seeing him off, Anran went back to her room to wash up and then came out to eat the breakfast su Yicheng had prepared for her. A ham and egg sandwich, and a glass of warm milk. She took the sandwich and took a big bite. It still tasted as good as ever. With the 80%-cooked egg and a mouthful of fresh milk, Anran closed her eyes in satisfaction. She had the illusion that she could taste happiness.

Before he finished his breakfast, the phone in his bedroom rang. It was an unfamiliar number, a local phone in Jiang city.

The phone rang for a long time before Anran picked it up. &Quot; Hello, who’s this? ”

“Is it an ran?” On the other end of the phone, a slightly weathered voice came. It was low and hoarse, but it was somewhat familiar.

Anran furrowed her brows. She seemed to have heard this voice before, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it or whose voice it was.

“And you are?” he asked suspiciously.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard her confusion and explained, ” “I’m Tong Wenhai.”

“Bureau chief Tong!” Anran furrowed her brows in surprise, but she didn’t know why he was calling her. She asked in confusion, ” “Why did you think of calling me, chief Tong?”

&Quot; hehe, it’s like this. I was having dinner with director Huang two days ago. I asked about you and found out that you’ve already left the company. I was a little surprised. &Quot; Tong Wenhai said with a chuckle.

Anran was even more confused. What did it have to do with him whether she resigned or not? of course, it was all about her face. She pursed her lips and said lightly, ” “Yes, something happened, so he left.”

Hearing this, Tong Wenhai didn’t ask for the reason. He only smiled faintly and asked, ” “Then, are you going to work elsewhere or are you resting at home?”

Anran frowned. She didn’t know why he was asking so many questions, but she still answered politely, ” I’m resting at home. &Quot; This time, he didn’t wait for Tong Wenhai to speak and directly asked, ” “Director Tong, why are you calling today?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” On the other end of the phone, Tong Wenhai chuckled and casually said, ” &Quot; I’d like to invite Anran to lunch. Anran, can you spare some time for me in the afternoon? ”

Anran’s brows furrowed even more. &Quot; is there something you need from me, director Tong? ” She didn’t know why, but she felt a little conflicted and repulsed by him. She didn’t like him, and this feeling was particularly strong.

&Quot; yes, I have a private matter I want to talk to you about. I wonder if Anran will give me face? ” Tong Wenhai said with a smile.

With such a huge accusation on her, Anran was naturally too embarrassed to refuse. Moreover, he was also a member of the municipal Party Committee and was considered a colleague of su Yicheng. He was also the Jiangcheng city construction bureau chief. Since su Yicheng was in charge of the technology City project, he must have had a lot of cooperation with him, so it was naturally not good to make their relationship too stiff. Thinking of this, no matter how much she disliked it, Anran still smiled and agreed. &Quot; director Tong, you must be joking. I should be honored that you gave me this opportunity. &Quot;

“Hahaha.” Tong Wenhai laughed and said after a long while,”Okay, then at 12 noon, we’ll meet at ‘River heart court’.”

Anran agreed. &Quot; okay, ” she said. &Quot; okay. &Quot;

“Alright, we’ll meet there then.” Tong Wenhai hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

After hanging up, Anran stared at her phone for a long time before she looked away. She picked up the sandwich and ate it again. However, because she couldn’t figure out why Tong Wenhai was looking for her in the afternoon, the sandwich she ate didn’t taste as good as it did before.

‘River heart court’ was a very distinctive Chinese restaurant. There was no main hall, only small private rooms with an elegant environment.

When Anran arrived, Tong Wenhai was already there. He had asked for a side hall, and there were beautiful orchids growing in the room. Tong Wenhai looked at her with a faint smile as he sat on the brownish-red wooden chair. &Quot; you’re here. &Quot;

Anran also smiled faintly. She pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down opposite him. She raised her hand to look at the time and said jokingly, ” “Am I late?”

Tong Wenhai chuckled, took the teacup, and served her the West Lake Longjing tea that the waiter had served. He said with a smile, ” “It’s me who arrived early. Come, try the Longjing tea here. It’s not bad.”

Anran reached out to take it, but she gently waved her hand and said, ” “I can’t drink tea these days.” She would take a look at the precautions Qin Yun gave her last time. It clearly stated that pregnant women should not drink tea or coffee.

“Not feeling well?” Tong Wenhai looked at her and asked.

Anran shook her head with a faint smile, but she didn’t say much. She only asked, ” “I wonder what director Tong wanted to talk to me about today?”

Dong Wenhai looked at him for a long time before he said, ” is Anran very close to mo Fei? ”

Anran froze and frowned. She didn’t quite understand what he meant. &Quot; I don’t quite understand what you mean, director Tong. &Quot;

Tong Wen looked at her, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. He was slightly dazed. In fact, he felt guilty and guilty towards her.

“Bureau chief Tong?” Seeing that he didn’t speak, an ran tentatively called out, ” “Bureau chief Tong?”

Only then did Tong Wenhai react. He looked at her and stared at her for a long time before saying, ” &Quot; Anran, can I ask you not to interfere in Xiaoxiao and Mo Fei’s marriage? ”
