Su Yicheng seemed to be serious!
Anran looked at the large bouquet of roses that her Office Assistant had brought in and placed on her desk. She was a little dazed. In the morning, when su Yicheng sent her to work, he kissed her forehead before she got out of the car. With a smile, he whispered in her ear that he had asked the florist to order flowers and would send them to her later. Before Anran could come back to her senses, he had already driven away, not giving her a chance to ask.
She had thought that he was just joking last night. After all, they were already married. It was awkward and unnecessary for them to date. However, she didnât expect that he would really get someone to send flowers over!
An ran didnât know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head helplessly as she looked at the large bouquet.
The Office Assistant was a little envious of her, but her eyes flickered as she asked, â âSister Gu, who gave you such beautiful flowers? Is he your boyfriend?â
Anran glanced at her and shook her head lightly. &Quot; âNo.â Her hand gently caressed the delicate flower petals. This was the first time she had received a bouquet from someone else. In the past, when she was with mo Fei, due to mo Feiâs financial limitations, the most romantic and extravagant thing they could do was to go to the cafe near the school and watch movies. They had been together for four years, and they had only gone to watch them together once. Moreover, they had specially picked it for half the price on Tuesday.
âThatâs a client?â The assistant girl continued to gossip. She hadnât been in the company for long, so she hadnât had much contact with Anran. However, compared to Xiao Xiao, who always wore a haughty and arrogant look, Anran was much more approachable, so she didnât have to worry about saying something wrong when talking to her.
An ran looked at the flowers and said lightly, â heâs my husband. &Quot;
âUh,â The assistant was stunned. Although she hadnât been in the company for a long time, with her ability to gossip without limits, she had never heard that Gu Anran was already married. Not long ago, she even heard from her colleagues that her mother had been anxiously introducing potential partners to her, and she had been busy with all kinds of men every day. âSister Gu, when did you get married? Why didnât we hear you mention it?â
Anran looked up at her and said, â âIâm almost 29. If I donât get married, do you really hope that I wonât get married?â
&Quot; how could that be? sister Gu is beautiful and capable. She also has a good job. &Quot; The assistant said.
âAlright, you may leave.â An ran smiled and nodded at her.
The assistant did not seem to give up. Before she left, she turned around and confirmed again, â âSister Gu, youâre really married!â
......
Anran shook her head in amusement and said to him, â âDo you think Iâm joking?â
The assistant girl smiled awkwardly and shook her head before turning around and leaving.
Anran picked up the large bouquet of flowers on the table, and the corners of her mouth couldnât help but curl up into a smile. Suddenly, she saw the card placed between the roses. She reached out to take it out and opened it. Su Yichengâs words were very strong and powerful. The card didnât contain any sweet words, but it was what Anran had always wanted-to hold hands!
Anran smiled faintly, but for some reason, her eyes started to heat up. She reached out to touch the words on the card and looked at the signature at the bottom, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.
Su Yichengâs phone call came in at this time. Anran couldnât describe what she was feeling at the moment when she saw the name displayed on the phone. The phone rang for a long time before an ran picked it up.
âAre you busy?â On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng thought that she was busy with work and took so long to answer the phone.
Anran subconsciously shook her head. After shaking her head, she realized that he couldnât see her at all, so she quickly said, â âNo, I didnât,â Only when she opened her mouth did she realize that her voice had become extremely hoarse.
On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng obviously heard the strange tone in her voice, and he quickly asked with concern, â âWhatâs wrong?â
Anran shook her head. &Quot; no, â she said. &Quot; Iâm just ... Just a little touched. &Quot;
Su Yicheng was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was touched because of the bouquet of flowers he had given her. He laughed and said, â âSilly girl, if you like it, Iâll send it to you every day.â
Anran also laughed and shook her head. &Quot; no, â she said. &Quot; thatâs a waste of money. &Quot; A bunch like this would cost at least a few hundred Yuan. Furthermore, the flowering period was only for a short period of time. What a waste.
âHehe, then miss Gu, are you free tonight? Can I ask you out for dinner?â Su Yicheng was really prepared to pursue her. He sent flowers, went on a date, and did everything in succession.
Anran laughed and asked in return, â is it a candlelight dinner? â
âOf course.â Su Yicheng said with certainty.
Anran smiled. She couldnât hide the happiness on her face and nodded. &Quot; yes. &Quot;
Hearing the reply, the purpose of this call was achieved. He said, â âOkay, wait for me at the door. Iâll pick you up.â
Anran smiled and agreed. Then, the two of them chatted for a while. Su Yicheng seemed to have a meeting to attend, so she hung up the phone.
As soon as Anran hung up the phone, someone knocked on the office door. She pushed the door open, and it was the assistant girl from earlier. This time, she had specially found a large vase, filled it with water, and brought it in for Anran. &Quot; sister Gu, put the flowers in the vase. That way, they can last longer and the buds that have not bloomed can also bloom. &Quot;
Anran stood up from behind the desk and reached out to take the vase that was half-filled with water from her hand. She thanked her sincerely, â âThank you,â he said.
The assistant girl waved her hands, but she couldnât help but come forward and continue to play her gossiping nature, asking, â &Quot; sister Gu, what does your husband do for a living? when are you going to bring him out for our colleagues to see? â
An ran was a little defeated. She patted her lightly and said, â &Quot; alright, youâre such a busybody. Hurry up and go to work. If I really want to treat you to a meal, Iâll naturally not miss out on it. &Quot;
The assistant left the office, satisfied.
Anran put the vase on the windowsill of the office. In the morning, her eyes couldnât help but turn to look at the beautiful roses bathed in the sun, so much so that she couldnât draw anything substantial in the morning.
At night, when she was waiting for the elevator after work, Xiao Xiao also came out of the office and stood beside her. Her eyes were staring straight at the stainless steel door of the elevator, and the corners of her mouth were curled up in a half-smile.
Anran didnât go to see her. To her, she was no longer her colleague since the last time the design was destroyed.
The elevator arrived, and an ran entered first. Xiao Xiao entered after her and glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. She said in a strange tone, â âAre you trying to show off how well youâve married?â
Anran frowned, not understanding how she had offended her again.
&Quot; itâs good enough. With your family background, you should show off that youâre married to the mayorâs Special Assistant and are the wife of a government official. &Quot; Xiao Xiao continued, her tone sour.
Anran didnât turn her head and only asked indifferently, â âArenât you tired of living in suspicion of others every day?â
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao turned to look at her and said with some disdain, â âHow noble do you think you are? If sheâs really that virtuous, she wouldnât have to show off how happy she is in the company.â
An ran sneered and turned to look at her. &Quot; âDo I need to show off? Iâm already very happy, arenât I?â
Xiao Xiao was waiting for her. She turned her head away and snorted coldly as she turned around.
An ran didnât say anything more. She turned her head and looked at the changing numbers.
âDing! Ding! Ding!â
The elevator door opened. An ran didnât look at her and walked out of the elevator.
Su Yicheng seemed to have gotten off work a little early today. As soon as he walked out of the door, she saw him standing by the car door. When he saw her coming out, he smiled and walked over to her.
Xiao Xiao came out from behind Anran. When she saw su Yicheng, her originally gloomy face was replaced with a smile. She lifted her big, wavy hair and walked toward su Yicheng.
Su Yicheng walked up to Anran and naturally took the bag from Anranâs hand. Then, he reached out to touch her head and asked with a smile, â âAre you busy with work today?â
An ran smiled and shook her head. Because of his flowers, she didnât even draw much.
Xiao Xiao came up from behind. Her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were charming as she came in front of them. She said with a smile in her voice, â âSpecial Assistant su, did you come to pick Anran up?â
Only then did su Yicheng notice her, and he only nodded politely and at a distance, saying, â âYes, miss Xiao, are you going to get off work?â
Anran stood to the side and looked at Xiao Xiao, frowning unhappily.
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, then turned to Anran and said, â âSister Gu is so lucky to have met such a good man like Special Assistant su. Iâm so envious and jealous.â
Anran glanced at her indifferently, then reached out to hold su Yichengâs hand. She looked at Xiao Xiao and said, â âI am indeed very lucky.â
Xiao Xiao looked at her with a smile on her face. Then she turned her head and looked at su Yicheng, saying, â &Quot; itâs probably impossible to get a taxi after work now. Itâs the rush hour after work. How many people would rush out to get a taxi? â
Su Yicheng glanced at Anran, then turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao. The corners of his mouth still had a smile that was neither close nor distant, and he said, â âIs that so?â
âYeah, itâs like fighting a war every day when I go home after work.â Xiao Xiao said. Then, she looked at the car behind him and said, â âIf Special Assistant su doesnât mind, can you give me a ride?â Then, he turned to look at Anran and said, â âI hope sister Gu doesnât mind.â
Anran looked at her without much expression on her face. Before she could speak, su Yicheng, who was next to her, said, â &Quot; why would Anran mind? youâre her colleague, but I do have to apologize to miss Xiao. Iâm taking Anran out on a date tonight, so I donât want outsiders to disturb me. I hope you can understand, miss Xiao. &Quot;
Xiao Xiao was stunned. She had thought that Anran would be the one to reject her, so that she would have an excuse to say that Anran was too petty. However, she didnât expect that the one to reject her would be su Yicheng, who didnât even leave her any room for negotiation. He rejected her directly.
Xiao Xiao was naturally a smart person, and she knew that su Yicheng was only saying this to give her a way out of this situation. It was impossible for him to give her a free ride. Su Yicheng still had a smile on his face, and he didnât seem to be unhappy or uncomfortable about being rejected. He said with a natural expression, â &Quot; so Special Assistant su is going on a date with sister Gu tonight. Hehe, Special Assistant su is so good to sister Gu. &Quot;
Su Yicheng glanced at Anran, reached out to hold her waist, then turned to look at Xiao Xiao and said, â my wife has always been loved. If I donât treat her well, do I have to treat another woman well? â
Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly and couldnât say a word. Su Yichengâs words were obviously meant for her. She thought she was smart, so how could she not understand?
Seeing that she didnât say anything, su Yicheng naturally didnât say anything more to her. He just put his arm around Anranâs waist and politely said to her, â miss Xiao, then you can continue to wait. Weâll take our leave first. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he turned around with Anran in his arms and thoughtfully opened the car door for Anran like a gentleman. He placed his hand on the roof of the car to prevent her from accidentally hitting her head. After Anran got in, he closed the door for her again. Then, su Yicheng turned around, walked around the front of the car, and got into the car from the other side. He didnât stay for long, started the car, and drove away.
Xiao Xiao watched as their car disappeared into the corner of the street. The smile on her face became more and more stiff, and her hands were clenched tightly by her sides. She was jealous of Anran. She was jealous that Anran had everything: a happy and wonderful family, unique architectural design talent, and the fact that she could get the appreciation of the public and get her own case just by sitting in the office and drawing. Unlike her, she had to force herself to please those old lechers, partners, and clients with ill intentions every day, even if she worked so hard. However, for the past six years, she still had to live in her shadow every day. She had worked so hard, but she had never been recognized. In the past, she could have used Huang Dexing to suppress her, so that she could get a better and simpler case, but now, she had actually managed to get involved with su Yicheng. Even Huang Dexing had to give in to her for su Yichengâs sake. Then, what was the point of all her hard work over the years? was it just because she wasnât lucky enough? If that was the case, she was not willing to accept it!
After staring at her for a long time, Xiao Xiao was about to turn around and leave, but the moment she turned around, she saw the assistant who had just arrived in the office standing curiously beside her. Because she had not done that, she was really shocked!
She was already in a bad mood, and when she saw her acting so recklessly, she became even angrier. She vented all the anger she had just received from su Yicheng and Anran on her. &Quot; what are you doing?! &Quot;
The assistant girl was clearly too nosy and her reaction was a little slow. She asked Xiao Xiao, â &Quot; that man just now was so handsome. Is he sister Guâs husband? â
Xiao Xiao looked at her and said coldly, â âHmph, he is now, but he might not be in the future.â
The assistant didnât seem to hear what she said and continued, â &Quot; no wonder sister Gu wanted to hide her husband. She didnât even mention that heâs married. Heâs such a handsome and outstanding man. I would do the same if I were him! &Quot;
Xiao Xiao glanced at her and turned her head. The corners of her mouth curled up as she sneered, â âHide? Hmph, can she hide?â
Only then did the assistant notice her. She gave her a strange look and shook her head in confusion.
On the other side, Anran was sitting in the car with su Yicheng. Anranâs originally good mood had become a little depressed because of Xiao Xiao.
Su Yicheng glanced at her and smiled faintly. &Quot; whatâs the matter? you donât seem to be on good terms with your colleague. &Quot;
Anran didnât say anything. She just turned her head and stared at him.
Seeing that she was silent, su Yicheng asked,âdid I say something wrong?â
Anran shook her head and sighed. &Quot; âShe seems to be interested in you.â
Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows.âAnd then?â
âDo you think sheâs pretty?â Anran asked again. In fact, she wasnât sure. She knew Xiao Xiaoâs methods. If she wanted something, she would always try her best to get it, and she would do anything to get it. For example, if she wanted to gain a foothold in the construction industry, which was not her profession at all, she would not hesitate to sell her body in exchange for the results she had today. Men seemed to be lustful, and she had to admit that Xiao Xiao had the capital to make men madly fall for her. And she didnât know if su Yicheng could really resist the temptation of such beauty.
Su Yicheng turned his head to look at her strangely, then turned his head back to seriously look at the road ahead, but at the same time, he freed one hand to rub her head and said, â âAre you underestimating yourself or me?â
Anran turned her head, pouted, and said, â &Quot; sheâs very pretty. Donât you think so? â
Su Yicheng smiled, reached out to hold her hand, and simply said, â âI canât even remember what she looks like.â
Anran turned her head in confusion, surprised to hear this answer from him.
Su Yicheng turned his head to look at her with an amused expression, then tightened his grip on her hand and said, â âAre you jealous?â
Hearing this, Anran turned around and refused to look at him. She denied, â âIâm not.â His answer was too fast and too certain, but it made people feel like he was trying to hide something.
Su Yicheng only smiled and didnât expose her. He held her hand and rubbed her small hand with his big palm. After a long while, he said indifferently, â &Quot; you are my wife, the one who has to accompany me for my entire life, the one who I have to look at for my entire life. Itâs enough to look at you and me, why should I look at other women? besides, what does it have to do with me whether other women are beautiful or not? â
Anran didnât say anything, but she had to admit that his words werenât too mushy or sickening, but they still made her feel sweet. She couldnât help but smile.
He couldnât help but Mutter, â âYouâre so glib-tongued, you only know how to say nice things.â
Su Yicheng laughed, turned to look at her, and asked, â âDo you like it?â
An ran turned her head away from him with a smile. Looking at the scenery outside the window that flew by, the corners of her mouth curled up into a beautiful arc. The small hand that he was holding was mischievously drawing circles in his palm.
The car slowly stopped in front of a Western restaurant. Anran was about to open the door and get out of the car, but su Yicheng raised his hand to stop her.
Anran looked at him in confusion and asked, â âIsnât this the place? Still not there?â
Su Yicheng shook his head, unbuckled his seat belt, and got out of the car first. Then, he walked around the front of the car and opened the door for her.
Anran looked at him with a smile and said, â âWhy the trouble? Iâll go down myself.â Although she said that, she felt extremely sweet because of his thoughtfulness.
Su Yicheng only smiled and didnât say anything. He held her hand and walked into the Western restaurant.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was quite good. The pianist was playing live in the hall, and the melodious music notes floated gently in the whole restaurant.
They didnât ask for a private room and sat down in the living room. An ran seemed to be a window lover. Whether it was a Chinese restaurant, a coffee shop, or a Western restaurant now, she always liked to sit by the window.
As they sat down, the waiter served them tea and the restaurantâs menu. The two of them ordered their food, and after the waiter took the menu and left, Anran looked at him and laughed.
Su Yicheng asked, â is there something on my face? â
Anran shook her head and asked,âwere you serious about what you said yesterday?â ?He gave her flowers and had a candlelight dinner. He couldnât really be chasing her, right?
Su Yicheng picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and asked, â âYou think Iâm joking?â
Anran shook her head, but she couldnât help but laugh. &Quot; âDonât you think weâre too boring?â They were already married. Wasnât it too late to turn back and say that he wanted to pursue love?
Su Yicheng misunderstood her, so he frowned and asked, â âIs it too boring to give flowers and have a candlelight dinner? Isnât this how you usually pursue a date?â âSecretary Zheng clearly said that these steps are the most basic!â He muttered.
Anran laughed out loud and looked at him curiously.âThese steps! Su Yicheng, where are you taking me next?â
&Quot; letâs watch a movie. After the movie, weâll take a walk by the river and then we can go home. &Quot; Su Yicheng said in all seriousness. In reality, he had no experience in pursuing girls. When he was with Ling LAN, because they grew up together, they naturally got together after they grew up. There was no need for them to chase each other. Even when they went on dates, they used ye Ziwen and Zhou han as their first group. Since they were all friends and grew up together, there was no generation gap, awkwardness, or lack of topics to talk about between them, even if they had a few dates alone. The conversation between the two of them revolved more around ye Ziwen and Zhou han. There were very few candlelight dinners, movies, and dates. Therefore, this time, when he said that he wanted to date Anran, he even seriously looked up some of the most basic steps and methods for dating online. He also humbly asked Secretary Zheng for advice, and Secretary Zheng was especially enthusiastic to draw up the steps and plans for him to date. She told him that if he followed the steps he wrote for tonight, it would be considered a success.
Anran looked at him and couldnât hold back her laughter. In the end, she stopped laughing under his confused gaze and said to him in a serious tone, â âIâm looking forward to our next arrangements.â
The food was served very quickly. In fact, the food in this Western restaurant was only average, but the environment was excellent. Sitting by the window, one could see the beautiful small fountain in the middle of the music Square opposite. The beautiful light shone on the water pillars, which looked like huge light sticks.
When the two of them came out of the Western restaurant, it was already around 7:30 pm. According to su Yichengâs plan, the next step was to go to the movies. Fortunately, the cinema was not far from here. It was only a few minutes âwalk. When they arrived, the movie had already started at 7:10 p.m. There was a newly imported 3d blockbuster film in America that was being released at this time. It seemed to be a series. The previous two films had achieved great success around the world. This time, the third film was being released, and everyone was paying special attention to it. Most people who came to the cinema chose this film, so the tickets were sold very quickly.
The tickets for the American 3D movie at 7:10 pm had all been bought out. There was another domestic animation, â finding a submarine, â left. When she heard this name, Anran instinctively thought of Hollywoodâs big-budget animated films, such as finding cars or Finding Nemo. These kinds of animated films were also particularly good, and the box office was also very good. The box office was also unexpectedly good.
With this in mind, an ran said to the ticket seller, â âHello, I want two tickets forâ the submarineâs mobilization.ââ
The ticket seller raised his head and gave Anran and su Yicheng a strange look, then asked, â âDo you really want to watchâ the submarineâs mobilization? This is a cartoon!â
Anran didnât take it seriously. &Quot; I know. We all hope for cartoons. Itâs okay. Just give me the tickets. &Quot;
The ticket seller looked at the two of them strangely. He opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated for a long time. In the end, he didnât say anything. He took the money and printed two tickets.
The two of them entered Theater 1 together. As soon as they entered, an ran didnât feel like something was wrong. Less than 10% of the seats in the entire theater were occupied, and most of the seats were empty. With such a high attendance rate, the two of them didnât sit according to the number on their tickets in the end. Instead, they simply found two seats and sat down. After taking a closer look, Anran realized that in the entire theater, except for her and su Yicheng, everyone else had actually brought their children here. Looking at them, there were even children who started to feel distressed.
Anran stared at the big screen for a long time, and finally, she couldnât bear to watch it anymore. She leaned over and said to su Yicheng, â âWhy donât we go?â It was really a cartoon. There was no plot or content at all. It was really only for children to watch.
Su Yicheng nodded with a smile, then pulled Anran up and left the screening Hall.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After leaving, an ran let out a long sigh. The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. At the same time, they suddenly wondered why the ticket seller looked at me with such a stern gaze.
The two of them held hands as they left the cinema. They walked slowly along both sides of the street towards the car parked in front of the Western restaurant.
In fact, there was no need for any more words. The two of them especially enjoyed this kind of leisure and peace.
Jiang city was livelier at night than during the day. Both sides of the pedestrian street were lined with all kinds of small stalls. Each stall would have one or two people in front of it. There were inquiries and trial purchases.
The two of them didnât walk very quickly. They were holding hands and talking and laughing. The car was right in front of them, but Anran couldnât help but see Gu Hengwen hurrying past them. She turned her head and met su Yichengâs eyes. Obviously, he had also seen it.
âDaddy!â An ran called out to Gu Hengwen.
However, Gu Hengwen walked through the crowd in a hurry and didnât seem to hear her voice. He didnât even turn his head and walked straight through the crowd. An ran wanted to chase after him, but she saw him quickly turn into a small alley.
Just as the two of them were considering whether to give chase, a familiar voice came from behind.
âSpecial Assistant su!â
Su Yicheng and Anran both turned their heads and saw that Tong Wenhai, who was behind them, was a little surprised. âSpecial Assistant su and Anran are here to shop?â
Su Yicheng smiled at him calmly, nodded, and said indifferently, â &Quot; Iâm not too busy today, so I accompanied Anran out for a walk. &Quot; âWhy is bureau chief Tong here? is he accompanying his wife?â As he spoke, he raised his head as if he was looking for Madam Tong.
âOh, no, no, no. Iâm just passing by.â Tong Wenhai explained. As he spoke, he looked at an ran, his eyes flickering with uneasiness.
Su Yicheng nodded with a faint smile and didnât ask further. He looked at the silent Anran beside him and turned to him. &Quot; &Quot; then, bureau chief Tong, I still have to accompany Anran for a while longer. Iâm not fit for you to chat any longer. Weâll take our leave first. &Quot;
âAlright, go ahead, go ahead.â Tong Wenhai nodded and said.
Anran glanced at him and simply nodded at him. Then, she let su Yicheng hug her and turned around to leave.
After walking for a while, Anran turned to look at su Yicheng and asked, â âWell, have you found his information?â
Su Yicheng looked at her and knew that she was referring to Tong Wenhai. He didnât speak for a long time, only smiled faintly and shook his head.
âOh.â Anran replied in a low voice. She turned her head, her eyes a little dim, and said to herself, â &Quot; do you think dad left in such a hurry because he just met with director Tong? â She didnât know what kind of interactions her mother, father, and Tong Wenhai had in the past, but she had a faint, bad feeling. She didnât know if she was thinking too much, but after seeing her motherâs expression after seeing Tong Wenhai and what her father had said to her that night, she didnât want to think too much about it, but she felt that it was difficult.
Su Yicheng didnât answer her question. Instead, he let go of her waist, turned her body over, and leaned over to kiss her on the lips. After a long while, he let go of her and whispered in her ear, â &Quot; donât forget that youâre on a date with me tonight. Itâs just the two of us. You should only be thinking about things related to our date, or you can also think about what we can do later when we get home, but! &Quot; Su Yicheng let go of her and cupped her face in his hands instead. He then said in a serious tone, â you canât think about anything else that has nothing to do with us tonight, because tonight, you belong to me. You are all mine, including the thoughts in your little head. You can only think of me! &Quot;
Anran looked at him in a daze. After a while, she laughed and complained, â âYouâre so overbearing.â
Su Yicheng laughed, feeling a little proud, and said, â âIâm only overbearing towards you.â
After he did this, Anran no longer had any of the random thoughts she had about Tong Wenhai and his parents. She only saw the faint smile on his face.
Su Yicheng gently pecked her lips, then took her hand and said, â &Quot; letâs go. According to the steps of dating, weâre going to take a walk by the river. Then, we can go home hand in hand. &Quot;
Anran looked at him, nodded, and smiled.
Su Yicheng looked at her, a little absent-minded, and sighed softly. &Quot; actually, compared to going for a walk by the river, Iâd rather go home with you to do something else. &Quot;
It took Anran a while to react. She blushed and gave him a reproachful look. She flung his hand away, turned around, and ran away. She even scolded him in a low voice, â âStinky hooligan.â
Su Yicheng laughed out loud, strode forward, and grabbed her hand again, holding it tightly.
