Chapter 73: Drunk Ling LAN

Translator: 549690339

She was really exhausted from last night. She slept so much that she didn’t even hear the wake up number in the morning. When she woke up again, it was already past nine in the morning, and su Yicheng was already gone.

After washing up and changing her clothes, she came out of the house and found that only the Auntie was cleaning the yard.

Seeing an ran get up, the Auntie quickly said, ” “Young lady, you’re up. Madam just went out.”

An ran nodded and smiled at her.

The Auntie put down the broom in her hand and walked over to her, saying, ” &Quot; young Madam, you must be hungry. Madam made some porridge this morning. It’s still warm in the stove since you’re not up yet. I’ll go get some for you. &Quot; After saying that, she washed her hands and went into the kitchen.

Anran followed him. She wanted to help him do something, but she was chased out by him, saying that the kitchen was too smoky.

She sat at the dining table in boredom, wondering where su Yicheng had gone. She didn’t see him inside or outside the house.

The Auntie brought the porridge out and said, ” &Quot; young mistress, this is the bird’s nest porridge that Madam made early in the morning. Come, be careful. It’s hot. &Quot;

Anran took it and smiled at her. &Quot; Auntie, you can call me Anran. &Quot; She was not used to being called ‘young lady’.

The Auntie smiled and nodded. She urged, ” &Quot; come, eat it while it’s hot. Madam said you need to nourish yourself. You’re too thin. &Quot;

Anran blushed with shame. She wasn’t fat, but she wasn’t too thin either. She picked up the spoon and ate it in small mouthfuls. The porridge was sweet, thick, and sticky, and she had always liked sweet things, so this kind of porridge was very good for her stomach.

After Anran finished her breakfast, she didn’t see su Yicheng or Qin Yun return. She accompanied the Auntie in the garden to water the flowers for a while, then told the Auntie that she was going out alone. As she walked along the perimeter of the courtyard, she could hear shouts coming from the training ground from time to time. A few children from the cadres didn’t have classes on the weekend, so they were running past Anran in twos and threes. Looking at their postures, they seemed to be playing a game of soldiers catching thieves, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun.

They walked along the house to an Activity Center. There were a lot of public facilities for physical fitness in the open air, such as seesaws, wheels, single bars, double bars, and so on. A few women were sitting at the side and chatting. Looking at their clothes, they were probably the nannies or aunties of some cadre. The children played around happily, laughing and chatting. They were in a good mood.

......

Anran had nothing to do, and she didn’t know where to go. She was completely unfamiliar with this place, and she was even a little afraid because there were many odd-job soldiers standing at the entrance of the courtyard. All of them had serious expressions on their faces, and she couldn’t help but feel a little awe.

The children ran around and played around. Anran was staring at a large pagoda tree in the courtyard, lost in thought, and didn’t pay attention. A child laughed and ran toward her. By the time Anran reacted, it was already too late for her to Dodge, and the two of them collided. The child was very strong, and she fell to the ground on her butt. Anran also lost her balance from the collision and was about to fall backward.

“Ah!” He subconsciously screamed out of instinct. The screaming colleague, Anran, closed her eyes in resignation and waited for the pain to come.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth behind her, but the pain that was supposed to come didn’t come. Anran fell into a warm embrace. Someone hugged her from behind, preventing her from falling.

“Miss, are you alright?”

A warm voice rang in Anran’s ear, and it was only then that Anran suddenly reacted. She quickly withdrew from the man’s arms, turned her head, and quickly said, ” uh, it’s, it’s nothing. I really wanted to thank you for just now. &Quot; Only then did she get a good look at the man. He had thick black eyebrows, a square face, and was dressed in a suit. He was dressed like an elite, and his hair was combed neatly. He couldn’t be said to be very handsome, but he had a good taste.

The man smiled at her, but his eyes did not stay on her face. He turned around and pulled up the boy who had fallen to the ground. With a straight face, he scolded, ” &Quot; why are you so impatient? you bumped into someone and you’re still not apologizing. &Quot;

The little boy rubbed his aching butt and was strong enough not to cry. He whispered to Anran, ” “I’m sorry!”

Anran smiled and shook her head. Her sharp eyes caught sight of his broken skin and bleeding hand, and she quickly said, ” &Quot; you’re bleeding. Does it hurt? Auntie will take you to get bandaged, okay? ”

The boy shook his head and looked timidly at the man beside an ran.

The man next to Anran smiled apologetically at Anran and said, ” “I’m sorry. The child is too naughty.”

It was only then that Anran realized that this man was the child’s parent. She quickly smiled and said, ” it’s fine, it’s fine. Children always like to play. It’s in their nature. By the way, you should take the child to get her hands wrapped later, in case it gets infected. &Quot;

The man nodded and turned to look at the boy. He frowned slightly and reached out to him after a while. The boy seemed to be a little afraid of him and did not dare to look him in the eye, but still timidly reached out his hand.

Just as the man was about to say goodbye to Anran with the child, su Yicheng’s voice suddenly came from behind him.

“An ran.”

He turned his head and saw su Yicheng standing a few steps away from him. His hair was a little messy from the wind, and he was dressed in casual clothes.

“Yichen.” An ran smiled at him and turned around to walk toward him.

Su Yicheng looked at her, then noticed the man standing there. His expression suddenly changed, and the smile on his face froze.

The man also looked over, and when he met su Yicheng’s eyes, he was also slightly stunned, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.

Anran noticed the change in the two of them and asked su Yicheng, ” “Do you guys know each other?”

Only then did su Yicheng come back to his senses. He turned his head and said to Anran, ” &Quot; let’s go. Secretary Zheng just called. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so we might have to go back early. &Quot;

Anran nodded, turned her head, and glanced at the man standing there. She nodded slightly, then turned around and left with su Yicheng holding her hand.

The man looked at the figure that was slowly walking away. After a while, he lowered his head and said to the child he was holding, ” let’s go. &Quot;

Along the way, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Su Yicheng remained silent, but Anran didn’t know what to say, so she just let him hold her hand. Judging from his reaction with the man just now, the two of them should know each other. However, it seemed that their relationship was not very good.

When she returned to the SU family’s courtyard, Qin Yun had already returned. She was preparing to kill a chicken in the courtyard with the Auntie. She had just caught an authentic old hen and was preparing to kill it to make chicken soup for Anran to nourish her body. However, before he could finish killing the chicken, he heard that the two of them were going back. His good mood immediately dissipated. However, he knew that he couldn’t do anything about work. He only told the two of them to come back and visit when they were free. He also said that he would kill the chicken soup and stew it for them tomorrow.

Along the way, su Yicheng was focused on driving, his face slightly tensed. It was no longer as gentle as before, and he looked a little scary as if he didn’t want strangers to get close to him.

“Are you in a hurry for work?” The atmosphere was a little awkward, and an ran tried to find a topic to break the silence.

Su Yicheng didn’t seem to hear her as he continued to focus on driving.

“Yichen?” An ran tried to call out.

Only then did su Yicheng come to his senses. He turned his head in a daze and asked, ” uh, what did you just say? ”

Anran looked at him steadily and finally shook her head. &Quot; &Quot; why don’t you change? I’ll drive. You look a little distracted. &Quot;

Su Yicheng shook his head, smiled at her, and said, ” “I’m fine. I was just thinking about something and didn’t pay attention.”

Anran sighed softly and said,”do you know that man just now?”

Su Yicheng glanced at her, nodded, and didn’t deny it. &Quot; he’s from the institution’s compound, so we’ve met a few times. &Quot;

“Yeah.” Anran nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. She had always felt that if he was willing to tell her, one of them would tell her. If he wasn’t willing to tell her, then it would be a waste of time to ask, and she would be asking for a snub. “Will the afternoon one be urgent?” he asked, changing the topic.

“It’s at 2 O ‘clock, but I have to go and make some preparations.” Su Yicheng said honestly.

“Go over after you’ve had your meal. The doctor said that you should eat your three meals normally.” It was slightly better these two days, but if anything happened to her due to hunger, it would not be worth it.

Su Yicheng glanced at her, nodded, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

It was 11 O ‘clock when he returned to his apartment in the city from the compound. Because she knew he could make it in time, Anran took the opportunity to make a bowl of noodles, a side dish in clear soup, and an egg flower while he went in to change.

When su Yicheng finished washing up and changed his clothes, Anran was beating the eggs and scattering them on the clear soup noodles. When she saw him coming out of the room, she quickly said, ” come, eat before you go over. &Quot; As he spoke, he placed the bowl of noodle soup on the bar counter.

Su Yicheng nodded and sat down on the high stool. He took a sip of the soup. The taste could only be considered average, but it was very thoughtful and made him feel that this bowl of noodles was especially fresh and delicious. “It’s very good,” he said, nodding in appreciation.

Anran smiled faintly and sat down opposite him. She rested her chin on her hand and watched him eat without doing anything.

Su Yicheng ate very quickly, but his manner of eating was very elegant. He didn’t spill any of the soup outside, not even the crumbs.

While eating, he suddenly picked up a piece of egg flower and handed it to an ran, indicating for her to open her mouth.

Anran shook her head. &Quot; you’ve eaten. &Quot; Such an intimate action made her a little uncomfortable, and her face turned slightly red.

Su Yicheng didn’t withdraw his chopsticks and insisted on her eating the egg.

She was really defeated. She couldn’t win against his persistence, so an ran had to open her mouth and eat the egg flower. Her face was very red because of her thin skin.

Su Yicheng smiled in satisfaction, then picked up another piece from the bowl and handed it to her.

Anran furrowed her brows, but she still opened her mouth and ate it helplessly. When su Yicheng picked up a third piece, Anran pretended to be angry and said with a serious face, ” Su Yicheng, are you saying that the food I made is too unpalatable, so you don’t want to eat it? ”

Su Yicheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t expect her to do this. He shook his head, lowered his head, and gobbled up the rest of the noodles, eggs, and even the noodle soup. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Anran seriously, and said, ” “My wife’s noodles are the best. I’ll eat as much as you have in the future.”

Anran was amused by his serious expression and ignored him. She cleaned up the dishes and directly put them in the sink.

He looked at his watch again and confirmed that he didn’t have any extra time to stay. Su Yicheng took his briefcase, said something to Anran, and then went out.

The case of ‘Bihu garden’ was under construction, and if everything went well, the second phase of the project would begin next month. As for the municipal government building case, she had already withdrawn from it, so at the moment, she was a little bored.

She went back to the study and took out the design drafts that were a quarter completed. She liked to draw every design from the beginning to the end. Even if she failed this case, at least it was a way for her to account for herself.

Inspiration was actually something that was very hard to come by. Back then, she had thought about it for a long time, had a lot of compositions, and had a lot of references, but it had taken her nearly half a month to finish the design. Perhaps it was because she no longer felt any burden in her heart, but this afternoon, Anran’s drawing was particularly smooth, and there were almost no broken links. In one afternoon, she had finished more than half of the design. Compared to the previous designs, she was even more satisfied with this one.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Hu Lingling. Anran put down her brush and walked toward the door, confused.

She didn’t know who was looking for her, but it was probably for su Yicheng, because this was su Yicheng’s house, and she had only moved in recently. She didn’t even tell anyone that she lived here.

Looking through the peephole, he saw Ling LAN standing outside. Her body was swaying unsteadily, and she couldn’t even stand properly. Anran reached out to open the door, but the moment her hand touched the doorknob, she froze. Her intuition told her that she should stay away from this Ling LAN. In fact, she didn’t seem to treat people with a simple attitude. She had never been generous enough to tell her everything about her and su Yicheng.

Hu Lingling was still shouting at the doorbell, as if she wasn’t going to give up until he opened the door. An ran hesitated again and again, but in the end, she still reached out to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, an ran smelled alcohol. The smell was so strong that it made her feel uncomfortable.

Ling LAN seemed to be a little drunk. Her eyes were misty from the alcohol.

“Miss Ling?” An ran called her softly.

Ling LAN stood unsteadily and looked at her. Her eyelids seemed to be heavy as she blinked. His entire body was swaying, as if he would fall down at any moment.

Anran was really afraid that she would really fall down, so she had no choice but to reach out to help her. &Quot; come in. &Quot;

Ling LAN wrapped her entire body around Anran and hugged Anran, crying and laughing at the same time. &Quot; &Quot; an ran, I’m so uncomfortable. I’m really uncomfortable. &Quot;

Although she wasn’t heavy and looked very thin, an ran really couldn’t bear the weight of an adult on her. Moreover, she didn’t stop. She swayed as if she was really drunk.

&Quot; huhuhu huhu. &Quot; with great difficulty, he helped her to sit down on the sofa in the living room. Anran let out a long sigh and turned around to pour her a glass of water. However, she didn’t expect that just as she turned around to leave, her hand was tightly held by su Qianhu again.

“Let go of me first. I’ll get you some water. You’ll feel better after drinking some water.” An ran said.

Ling LAN shook her head. She held Anran’s hand tightly and didn’t let go. She looked at her with a wronged expression and said, ” &Quot; an ran, I’m uncomfortable. I’m so uncomfortable. &Quot;

“You’re feeling uncomfortable because you’re drunk. Let go of me first. I’ll make you a cup of Hangover Tea. You’ll feel better after drinking it.” Anran was really defeated. Logically speaking, she had only met her twice, so they couldn’t be considered friends at all. But now, she had come to find her drunk. What was going on? Anran thought to herself that perhaps she should call Ling Lin and ask her to come and pick her up.

Ling LAN shook her head. She pointed at her chest and said, ” I’m not drunk. It’s here that’s uncomfortable. It’s extremely uncomfortable! &Quot;

Anran looked at her and didn’t know what to say. Her hand was being held by her, but she couldn’t leave, so she had to sit down next to her.

“I love him so much, I really love him so much. Even though I’ve been away for seven years, I’ve been thinking about him every single moment, thinking about the days we lived together. I really regret it. I really regret drinking back then. I knew I wouldn’t drink. Otherwise, otherwise, things wouldn’t have happened.” As she spoke, Ling LAN started to cry sorrowfully.

Anran didn’t say anything, because she knew that the ” he ” she was referring to was su Yicheng. She was su Yicheng’s ex-girlfriend, and she was his current wife. When the ex-girlfriend came to the current wife to cry about how much she loved her husband and how much she regretted breaking up with him back then, she was completely at a loss for what to do, because she had no experience in such a situation.

As she cried, Ling LAN suddenly raised her head and looked around the entire house. Then, she suddenly smiled in a daze and said, ” &Quot; did you know that everything in this house hasn’t changed at all? it’s still the same. &Quot;

An ran frowned and looked around the room.

Ling LAN stood up abruptly. Her body was swaying, and her steps were unsteady. She stumbled over to the bar counter, her hand gently caressing the marble and red bar stool on the counter. She smiled in a daze and muttered, ” &Quot; in the beginning, I always sat on this chair, and ah Zhen would lay out the dishes that he had prepared. His cooking skills were not good at first, but for me, because I was picky with food, he secretly learned how to cook for a long time. In the end, he cooked even better than the chefs in the restaurants outside. &Quot;

Anran didn’t say anything and just stared at her. Su Yicheng’s cooking skills were indeed good. He had cooked once before, and Ling LAN wasn’t exaggerating. It was indeed better than the food in the general restaurant outside. However, what she didn’t expect was that he had learned his cooking skills for her.

Stumbling, Ling LAN walked back to the study room. She pushed the door open and looked at the familiar decorations. She covered her mouth with her hand and mumbled, ” it’s ... It’s still the same as before. Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed! &Quot;

Anran looked at her and unconsciously clenched her hands by her sides. She felt an inexplicable sense of unhappiness in her heart. She couldn’t explain the reason, but she felt that her chest was very tight.

Ling LAN stumbled towards the master bedroom. Anran’s heart clenched. She strode forward and grabbed Ling Lan’s hand on the door handle. She said coldly, ” &Quot; miss Ling, you’re drunk. I’ll send you up. &Quot; The bedroom was her and su Yicheng’s room. They slept in each other’s arms and made love to each other. She didn’t want to hear any comments from other people, and she didn’t want to know what they were like in the past.

Under the influence of alcohol, Ling LAN shook off her hand and stumbled back to the living room. She looked at the silver-gray sofa and smiled foolishly. Then, she turned around and looked at Anran, saying, ” &Quot; in the past, ah Zhen especially liked to hold me on the sofa and watch TV. He liked to watch current affairs and politics, but I always liked to watch soap operas. He felt bored, but no matter how boring it was, he would always watch it with me. When I cried, he would pass me a tissue. When I laughed, he would laugh with me. Then, he would lovingly pinch my nose and kiss my forehead. Those were the happiest days of my life. &Quot; As he spoke, he began to cry again. He turned around and walked to an ran, grabbed her clothes, and cried, ” “Give ah Luo back to me, give her back to me, okay? I really love him, I can’t live without her!”

Anran only frowned, and her heart ached terribly. She felt that even her breathing had started to become a little rushed. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, ” &Quot; miss Ling, I don’t understand what you’re saying. You’re drunk. Let me send you up! &Quot;

Ling LAN suddenly pushed her away and said agitatedly, ” he doesn’t love you. Ah LAN doesn’t love you at all. I’ve been gone for seven years, and not a single woman has appeared by his side. Why do you think that is? he’s waiting for me, waiting for me to come back!”

&Quot; but he still married me in the end, and now I’m Mrs. Su, su Yicheng’s wife! &Quot; An ran looked at her and said, her hands clenched tightly.

Ling LAN looked at her. She stared at her intently. Then, she suddenly collapsed onto the ground. She was like a deflated balloon, completely lifeless. She looked somewhere, but her eyes were not focused at all. She mumbled as if she was talking to herself, ” I made him wait for too long, so long that my heart is cold. I was wrong. I should have come back earlier, I should have come back earlier ... &Quot;

Anran’s heart clenched because of her words. Because of her words, she was reminded of the impulse she had when she got married. Now, when she thought back to what he had said at the time, her heart suddenly ached.

&Quot; Haha, haha ... &Quot; Ling LAN, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly laughed again. She looked at Anran and said in a sharp and mean tone, ” “Why do you think ah Zhen married you?”

Anran looked at her with her lips tightly pursed. Her manicured nails dug deep into the flesh of her palms because she had used too much force, and it hurt faintly!

“That’s because of your name, an ran! Ling LAN, this is no longer the case. You are just my replacement! He’s my substitute!” Ling LAN screamed and then laughed out loud. She shouted like a crazy person, ” hahaha, you’re my substitute. Ah LAN loves me. She loves me. &Quot;

Ling LAN ... An ran ...

Ran is equivalent to a Gu?

An ran felt dizzy and dazed. Was it like this? The reason he married her was because of her name. Was it because her name had the same pronunciation as his ex-girlfriend’s? That’s right, he had such good conditions, why would he worry about not being able to find a suitable woman to marry!

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes in pain. When she opened them again, her eyes were as cold as ice. She said in a tense tone, ” miss Ling, please leave. &Quot; She didn’t want to be in the same space as her. She only felt a heavy pain in her chest.

“I don’t want to.” Ling LAN seemed to really be drunk. She chided her childishly and then grabbed her hair in a daze as she walked towards the sofa. She muttered, ” I want to wait here for ah-LAN to come back. When he comes back, he will hug me and kiss me like he used to ... &Quot; as she spoke, she walked towards the sofa in the living room. Then, she grabbed the cushion and nestled herself on the sofa. She closed her eyes and mumbled to herself. After a while, she could hear faint breathing. She had obviously fallen asleep.

An ran stood there in a daze, as if all her strength had been sucked out of her.

In the evening, su Yicheng pinched his slightly sore eyebrows. He had been in a meeting the entire afternoon, and his eyes were sore from staring at the screen. He took out his keys from his bag and opened the door. The room was dark and silent. He frowned slightly. Was Anran not in?

He reached out to turn on the light, and with a click, the incandescent light illuminated the entire room. He tugged at the tie around his neck with one hand and was about to call Anran when he suddenly saw Anran squatting on the wall. She looked at him with a blank expression, and there seemed to be traces of tears on her face.

He didn’t know what was going on. He put his briefcase on the counter and strode over to her. He half-squatted in front of her and looked at her in confusion.”What’s wrong? Why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

An ran shook her head and didn’t say anything.

&Quot; en ... &Quot; Ling LAN, who was sitting on the sofa, raised her hand to cover her eyes due to the sudden brightness. She mumbled as she slowly woke up.

Hearing this, su Yicheng immediately turned his head around. Only then did he notice that there was a third person in the room, and that person was Ling LAN!

Ling LAN sat up sleepily, as if she had forgotten everything that had happened before. She raised her hand and hit her head, which was tight because of the pain from being drunk. Her eyes were misty as she looked around at the slightly unfamiliar environment. Finally, she met su Yicheng’s stunned eyes.

“A-Qing?” Ling LAN called out tentatively. She clearly remembered that she had just bought a lot of alcohol and brought it home. Then, she had been drinking at home. Why was ah LAN here? “You, why are you here?”

“I should be the one asking you that.” Su Yicheng said coldly as he stared at her.

Ling LAN was stunned. She saw Anran sitting behind him and turned to look at the decorations and decorations around her. She suddenly realized that this wasn’t her house. She didn’t seem to have any idea why she was here! “W-why am I here? I was drinking at home just now!”

After taking a deep breath, su Yicheng said in a cold tone, ” &Quot; Ling LAN, I always thought that I’ve already explained everything to you that night. Let’s just forget about the past. We have our own lives now, and I’m very satisfied and enjoying my current life. I don’t want you to disturb me or my family. &Quot;

&Quot; I, I didn’t ... &Quot; Ling LAN looked at him, her eyes filled with grievance.

“Please leave.” Su Yicheng said coldly, not showing any mercy at all. Then, he turned around and helped an ran up from the ground without looking at her.

&Quot; ah Luo ... &Quot; behind him, Ling LAN called out to him softly. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her heart ached as she muttered pitifully, ” don’t do this to me. Don’t do this to me, okay ... &Quot; her tone was pleading and hopeful.

Su Yicheng was unmoved. He half-hugged Anran and walked toward the master bedroom without looking back at her.

Su Yicheng helped Anran to sit down on the bed. Seeing the tears on her face that had yet to dry, he felt a sense of reluctance. He reached out to touch her face and said in a low voice, ” silly. &Quot; He didn’t know what Ling LAN said to her, but seeing her like this, he was afraid that her thoughts were running wild again. She was too gentle and had a gentle personality. Even if she was bullied, she could not say anything harsh. He liked her gentle appearance and personality, but he had to worry about her being bullied. He never knew that he was such a contradictory person.

He shook his head with a sigh. He didn’t know if her personality was good or bad, but seeing her like this, he felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. He lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead. Then, he turned around and went into the bathroom. He wrung a warm towel and carefully wiped the tears off her face as he said, ” “Don’t think about what she said,”

Anran allowed him to wipe away the mess on her face. She only looked at him, at his eyes and eyebrows, and at this man, who, strictly speaking, was her husband even though they had known each other for less than a month.

After a while, when he turned around and was about to go back into the bathroom, he suddenly grabbed his hand and asked, ” “Why did you agree to marry me?”

She wanted to know the answer. She didn’t mind that their marriage wasn’t because of love, and she didn’t mind that she had become his wife by coincidence because they were compatible. What she minded was that she had become someone else’s substitute and shadow without knowing it.

Su Yicheng looked at her with his brows slightly furrowed. It was this question again. He thought that he had already explained everything clearly. What did Ling LAN say to her today?

Anran looked at him firmly, determined to get the answer from him.

“If I say that my reason is the same as yours, would you believe me?” Su Yicheng asked. He didn’t want to lie about love because he thought it was unrealistic. How could there be love between two people who didn’t know each other? even though he knew that he liked her after spending some time with her and was glad that he agreed to marry her, the real reason for their marriage was not love.

An ran was silent for a long time before she couldn’t help but ask, ” &Quot; no, it’s not because he treated me as Ling Lan’s substitute? ” As long as he said it, she would believe it. She held her breath and waited for his answer.

“Of course not!” Su Yicheng said with certainty and seriousness. How was she similar to Ling LAN at all? how could he treat her as Ling Lan’s substitute? Moreover, he no longer had any feelings for Ling LAN. Not to mention love, he didn’t even have any hate for her. She was just a stranger to him.

“Hehe.” Anran heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled. She muttered to herself in a low voice, ” that’s good, that’s good. &Quot;

Seeing her reaction, su Yicheng had a rough idea of what was going on. He sighed, turned around, and sat down next to her again. He reached out to take her hand and sighed softly. His eyes were fixed on her as he lifted his hand to push the bangs on her forehead that covered her eyes to one side. Then, he said indifferently, ” “Anything else you want to ask me?”

Anran also looked back at him. In fact, it was fine as long as she knew that she wasn’t someone else’s substitute. She shouldn’t force anything else. After all, their marriage shouldn’t be about love. She had even waited for mo Fei for six years, so how could she ask him to have a blank relationship before he met her? that would be too unrealistic.

She was about to shake her head and say no, but when the words reached her mouth, she changed completely. &Quot; she used to live here too. &Quot;

Su Yicheng looked at her and nodded without denying it. Then, he smiled again, and there was an inexplicable joy in his heart. Her mind at least proved that she cared about it and was not completely indifferent. This discovery made him suddenly feel a little happy.

Seeing him nod, Anran lowered her eyes. &Quot; Oh. &Quot; She responded softly and sat down with her head lowered, not saying a word. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but she suddenly felt very uncomfortable sitting on this bed. Thinking about how they had once been entangled on this bed, her heart felt very stuffy.

Su Yicheng seemed to have read her mind. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he turned her over. &Quot; Anran, look at me. &Quot; He made her look at him.

Anran looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he was trying to do.

“Yes, everything in this room was changed a few years ago. There’s no trace of anyone else.” Su Yicheng said firmly. In fact, he hadn’t moved out because he had gotten used to living here. In the beginning, he didn’t change the layout and decoration of the house. However, as time passed, the original decoration started to fall off. Therefore, he had asked ye Ziwen to renovate the house completely. The layout hadn’t changed much, but the furniture had all been replaced.

Anran nodded and smiled at him, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything more. In fact, he couldn’t put his finger on what kind of emotions he was feeling right now. Because she cared about him, he felt an inexplicable sense of vanity.

However, looking at her tightly furrowed brows and that smile that didn’t have a hint of a smile, his heart ached a little. He couldn’t bear to see her so unhappy. He sighed softly and reached out to lift her slightly pointed chin. He looked straight into her eyes and said,”I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow. We’ll go somewhere together then.”

Anran looked at him in a daze and asked,”where are we going?”

Su Yicheng smiled faintly and simply said, ” it’s a secret. You’ll know when the time comes. &Quot;

When su Yicheng came out of the room again, Ling LAN was still sitting in the living room. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like a Pear Blossom in the rain, making one feel pity and heartache for her. However, su Yicheng could no longer see this.

Seeing su Yicheng come out, Ling LAN quickly stood up from the sofa, looked at him, and softly called out, ” “Achoo ...”

Su Yicheng frowned slightly, but there was no pity or heartache on his face. He just calmly asked, ” “Why haven’t you left?”

&Quot; ah Zhen ... &Quot; Ling LAN called him with such deep affection. It was just like 7 years ago. Her tone and even her voice hadn’t changed.

Su Yicheng looked at her calmly. Although she hadn’t changed and was still as beautiful and flirtatious as before, seven years had passed. Even if she was still the same person as she was in the past, he was no longer the SU Yicheng of the past.

&Quot; I ... I drank too much just now. I don’t know when I came here. I don’t know what I said to Anran just now. I ... I didn’t do it on purpose ... &Quot; tears fell from Ling Lan’s eyes as she spoke. Her expression was as if she had been wronged.

Su Yicheng glanced at her, walked past her, took a tissue from the tissue box on the table, and handed it to her. Then he said indifferently, ” it’s not important anymore. You can go back. &Quot;

Ling LAN looked at him apologetically, her tears falling faster as she said, ” &Quot; did Anran misunderstand something? I’ll go and explain it to her. Don’t hurt your relationship because of me. &Quot;

&Quot; there’s no need. I’ll explain it to her. You can go back now. I won’t see you out. &Quot; Su Yicheng rejected her ruthlessly, then turned around to leave. However, just as he was about to take a step, he turned around again and thought of something, saying, ” &Quot; Oh right, don’t drink so much in the future. I don’t want such a thing to happen again. &Quot; After that, he entered the bedroom without looking back.

In the living room, Ling LAN stood there in a daze, watching him leave. Her face was still tired, and her hands were clenched into tight fists.
