Marriage First, True Love Later Novel-Chapter 116

After the family had dinner, Lin xiaofen took Anran to the living room to talk about some things to take note of during pregnancy, such as not eating cold food, not carrying heavy objects, not raising one’s head, and so on. Meanwhile, su Yicheng and father Gu were in the study, playing chess and chatting over tea.

The corners of Gu Hengwen’s mouth were slightly raised the entire night, and he was in a very good mood. There were even a few times when he made the wrong move and only realized that he had made the wrong move after su Yicheng had eaten him.

Gu Hengwen made a move, then reached out to take the Kung Fu Tea that had been rinsed several times and poured it for himself and su Yicheng. The smile on the corner of his mouth had not disappeared for the whole night.

Su Yicheng got out of the car and directly faced Gu Hengwen’s handsome face. He smiled and said, ” “Dad, checkmate.”

Gu Hengwen was taken aback. He turned his head around to look at the chess game. He was not just a general, he was a dead general. He was already at the end of his rope. He laughed and handed the tea to su Yicheng, saying, ” “It seems like I can forget about winning back from you today. I’ll lose a few rounds.”

Su Yicheng took it with both hands and said with a smile, ” “Dad was distracted, I was lucky and won a few games.”

“I’m just too happy.” Gu Hengwen smiled. &Quot; it’s been a long time since anything good happened at home. Just thinking about how I’m going to be a grandfather soon makes me feel a little excited. I can’t control my emotions. &Quot;

Su Yicheng listened with a faint smile on his face.

&Quot; thinking about it, time really flies. In the blink of an eye, it’s been almost thirty years. When ran ran was born, she was only five pounds. She was so small. &Quot; As Gu Hengwen spoke, he reached out and gestured with his hands. He couldn’t hold back his smile. &Quot; when the nurse carried Ranran to me, to be honest, I really didn’t dare to take her. She was too small, and I was afraid that I would accidentally break her. But how could I not hug her? she was crying so pitifully.” As he spoke, he thought of something and looked outside, saying, ” &Quot; when I was young, an ran was so cute that she cried. She pouted her lips and cried a lot. &Quot;

“Hehe, is that so?” Su Yicheng continued with a faint smile.

“Yup,” Gu Hengwen looked at the night sky outside the window and felt a little emotional. &Quot; sigh, time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the child who was crying pitifully in my arms has grown up and gotten married. Soon, I’ll have my own child and experience what it’s like to be a parent. &Quot; All these years, he had watched her grow up, study, work, and even fall in love. He had watched her sad over the failure of her relationship, watched her not sleep for a few days because of work, and then watched her get married. Although he had not personally sent her to the wedding hall and taught her hand to the man who would spend the rest of her life with her, he could tell that she had been very happy. She was very happy. Now, she was pregnant. Perhaps he would have to see how she would become a good mother step by step.

She turned to look at su Yicheng and shook her head with a smile. &Quot; now that I think about all of this, I really feel a lot. Now that you and Anran have a child, you’ll understand how I feel right now. &Quot;

Su Yicheng nodded, looked at Gu Hengwen, and firmly said, ” &Quot; thank you, dad, for teaching Anran so well. It’s because of you and mom that I had the chance to meet Anran, live with her, and even have a child now. &Quot;

......

Gu Hengwen looked at him for a while before saying, ” &Quot; you won’t understand what Anran means to me, but if you make Anran sad in the future, I’ll be the first to come after you. This is a father’s love for his daughter, and also a warning from a man to another man. &Quot;

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng nodded very seriously. &Quot; perhaps I can’t give Anran the best life, but I will definitely make Anran happy. &Quot; This was his promise to him.

Gu Hengwen looked at him and then thought back to the little child he had held in his arms. Time had really passed quickly. Thinking back now, he was really glad that he had let xiaofen keep the child. However, whether this child was related to him by blood or not, she was still his daughter.

By the time they left the Gu residence, it was almost nine O ‘clock in the evening. Before they went home, Lin xiaofen still used the thermos bottle to pour out the remaining chicken soup for them to bring back.

Sitting in the car, Anran held the thermos bottle on her lap and hummed something softly. The smile on her lips didn’t disappear the entire night.

Even when he got home, he hummed softly. When su Yicheng took a shower in the guest room and returned to his room, he saw Anran already sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard and reading a magazine in her hand. She nodded and shook her head from time to time, and she was mumbling something.

Su Yicheng seemed to be infected by her smile as well. He got on the bed from the other side of the bed and reached out to pull her into his arms. Tonight, he didn’t want to think about the endless work that he would be busy with. He just wanted to use her to accompany her and the child. He gently patted her quilt and adjusted her to a comfortable position in his arms, then asked, ” “What did you say to mom last night? you were so happy the whole night.”

Anran handed him the magazine in her hand and pointed to a picture on it. In the picture, there was a family of three wearing matching outfits. It was particularly interesting. In the past, she would have flipped through such pictures, but now, she could stare at this picture for a long time. She knew that the three people in the picture might not be a family, but she would still stare at it, studying whether the child looked like his mother or father, where they had bought the matching outfits, and how old a child could wear them. In any case, the things that she had thought were boring and meaningless in the past had become very interesting and fun now. She looked up at him and said, ” look, this set of parent-child clothes is really nice. There’s even a hat. It’s fun, right? ”

Su Yicheng stared at the photo for a long time, then frowned and said in a deep voice, ” “Why is it a boy?” There was even a hint of disdain in his tone.

Anran pinched his waist and said, ” “You don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. I’m asking if you look good in this Parent-Child Outfit.”

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and stared at the photo for a long time before he said, ” &Quot; no, there’s no girl’s clothing. Our baby is a girl, it must be a girl. If we really want to buy parent-child outfits, we have to buy girl’s clothes. &Quot;

Anran was a little defeated by his persistence. She patted him and said, ” “Do you think the corner of your eye is an ultrasound machine? you say it like you saw it.”

Su Yicheng also smiled and rubbed her even more tightly, then gently and slowly whispered in her ear, ” let’s buy some girls ‘clothes first. We’ll wear pink ones with the baby later, and they’ll definitely look good in them. &Quot;

“What if it’s a boy?” Leaning in his arms, an ran insisted on going against him.

Su Yicheng frowned slightly at her remarks, turned his head, and looked at her for a long time before he said with certainty, ” “If it’s a boy, then he should wear a girl’s clothes!”

Because of his words, Anran almost choked on her own saliva. She pulled out of his arms, sat up, and patted him. Anran protested, ” su Yicheng, you’re not like this! &Quot; ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

Su Yicheng laughed out loud, reached out, and pulled her back into his arms. He leaned his head against her shoulder, kissed her cheek, and hugged her tightly. &Quot; Anran. &Quot;

“What?” Anran responded to him gently, her little hand playing with his big palm mischievously.

The big palm directly grabbed her small hand, and their fingers intertwined. He said, ” “Let’s have a daughter, okay?”

“Su Yicheng!” He was really going to die from anger. He turned around and glared at him, asking, ” “Is this something I can decide?”

Su Yicheng looked at her for a long time, then smiled and stared into her eyes, saying, ” “It must be a daughter!”

“You’re crazy. You’ve gone crazy thinking about your daughter.” Anran looked at him and shook her head. He was too persistent about his daughter!

Su Yicheng hugged her and kissed her. He held her face in his hands, not using much strength, but it was very affectionate.

An ran responded to his kiss and opened her arms to hug him.

Su Yicheng was a little moved as he caressed her lips and teeth, and he hugged her even tighter, almost wanting to merge her into his blood and make her a part of him. He turned his head and buried his face deep in her shoulder. The tip of his nose was filled with her scent. He wanted to continue, but his rationality told him that he couldn’t because an ran was pregnant, and the doctor said that the first three months of pregnancy was the most vulnerable period for the fetus.

The two of them were tightly pressed against each other. An ran could naturally feel the changes in his body and knew why he had stopped. She opened her arms and hugged him even tighter.

After a while, when the throbbing slowly subsided, su Yicheng finally raised his head from her shoulder, but he didn’t let go of her. His hand slowly moved down and covered her still-flat stomach, and he only whispered in Anran’s ear, ” &Quot; it’s definitely a daughter!... &Quot;

Anran didn’t know what to say to his persistence and determination, but she knew that he would still love both her son and daughter.

Just as the two of them were quietly embracing each other, su Yicheng’s cell phone, which was placed on the bedside table, rang at this time. The gentle music broke the silence, and in such a space and atmosphere, it became a little abrupt and a little cumbersome.

Su Yicheng didn’t immediately turn around to pick up the phone on the bedside table. Instead, he continued to hold Anran tightly for a while. Anran patted him on the shoulder and reminded him, ” phone call, go answer the phone first. &Quot;

Only then did su Yicheng let go of her. He turned around and picked up the phone. &Quot; Hello. &Quot;

The call was from the military compound. After the phone rang for a long time, he finally picked it up. Qin Yun didn’t seem to be angry or annoyed. Instead, she asked in a flirtatious tone, ” “Son, why did you take so long to pick up the phone? did I disturb you?”

Su Yicheng smiled, glanced at Anran, and said directly, ” “You are indeed disturbing me.” She interrupted him from carrying Anran and from reaching out to greet the little darling in Anran’s arms, telling her that he was her father.

“Ah, should I hang up first?” Qin Yun asked with a serious face and a sincere tone.

“Alright, mom, what’s the matter?” He couldn’t have just called to disturb them out of boredom, right?

It would have been better if he hadn’t said it, but now that he had mentioned it, Qin Yun was a little displeased. She said in a slightly displeased tone, ” “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what day it is tomorrow?”

Hearing this, su Yicheng frowned, and his mind quickly recalled what day it was tomorrow and what important day it was. It was the 24th of July, and he suddenly remembered that tomorrow was his grandfather’s birthday. His grandfather did not like extravagance or noise, but every year on his birthday, the simplest request was for the whole family to have a good meal together. There was no need for a big meal, or even birthday cake and noodles, just a simple home-cooked meal was enough.

“You still don’t remember?” Qin Yun asked from the other end of the phone, her tone even had a hint of gloating.

&Quot; I remember now. I’ll bring Anran back tomorrow. &Quot; Su Yicheng replied faintly. He turned his head and looked at his hand, which was still intertwined with Anran’S. He had been busy with the technology City project for the past few days, but Anran’s small accident and too many things had been squeezed together, so he had forgotten that tomorrow was his grandfather’s birthday.

&Quot; it’s the weekend tomorrow. Do you and Anran have work? remember to come home early. Grandpa didn’t say anything, but he misses you guys a lot. But seriously, you guys haven’t come home after so long. And yijiao, none of you are willing to go home. &Quot; Qin Yun mumbled unhappily. In fact, she was just missing them.

“I know.” Su Yicheng acknowledged, knowing that he was in the wrong, and said, ” &Quot; I’ll go back with Anran tomorrow morning. Remember to cook our lunch at noon. &Quot;

When she heard that they were coming back for lunch tomorrow, Qin Yun naturally nodded happily. She also explained that she was going to personally follow the Auntie to the market to buy some groceries to nourish Anran’s body. She also gave him a few more reminders, which were nothing more than telling him to be careful when driving tomorrow morning.

After hanging up the phone, Anran looked at him and asked, ” “What’s the date tomorrow?” Qin Yun’s voice was a little loud. Even though there was some distance between them, Anran could still hear her clearly.

&Quot; it’s grandpa’s birthday tomorrow. According to our family tradition, we’ll have a meal together on grandpa’s birthday every year as a family to celebrate his birthday. &Quot; Su Yicheng explained.

“Ah, why didn’t you say so earlier? we didn’t prepare any gifts!” Anran said in a soft voice. She was thinking about whether it would work if she woke up early the next morning to go to the mall and buy a present for her grandfather.

Su Yicheng pinched her nose in amusement and said, ” don’t worry, we’ve already prepared a gift. Grandpa will definitely like it very much. &Quot;

“What is it?” Anran asked curiously. If she hadn’t misheard, it seemed that someone had been so busy that he had forgotten what day tomorrow was. Could it be that the gift had already been prepared before that?

Su Yicheng smiled but didn’t say anything. His eyes stared straight at her lower abdomen, and the meaning in his eyes couldn’t be more obvious. Their gift was nothing else but the little great-grandson that Anran wanted in her stomach!

Anran followed his gaze and looked down at her stomach. She rolled her eyes at him and reached out to gently cover her stomach, but there was a quiet smile on her lips.

The next day, they still couldn’t go against Anran’s insistence. On their way back to the military compound, they passed by a health care store and bought some health care products suitable for their grandfather.

When the two of them were paying for the bill, Anran’s phone rang. It was a local phone number. She felt that the ending of the number was a little familiar, but it did not show her name. Anran frowned slightly, but she still picked up the phone behind her. “Hello?”

“Sister Gu.”

A woman’s voice came from the other side of the phone. Anran could tell that it was Chen Cheng’s voice. In fact, they had never met again after meeting at the coffee shop. Although Anran knew that she had no choice but to steal the photos and that she had her own difficulties and difficulties, she could not completely forgive her behavior. “Yes, what’s the matter?” he replied indifferently.

“Sister Gu, the results of the bidding for the ‘Mobile Manor’ project are out.” Chen Cheng said, her tone heavy.

Looking at the time, the results of the bidding should have been out by now. However, Anran was a little surprised that Chen Cheng was still paying attention to this project. Even she had almost forgotten about it. She didn’t expect Chen Cheng to still be paying attention to it.

“Oh, really?” Anran replied calmly. There was no change in her tone at all, as if it had nothing to do with her and she didn’t need to worry about it or get emotional.

An ran’s calmness surprised Chen Cheng. She asked, ” “Sister Gu, don’t you mind which company won the bid?” She thought that she would at least ask which company won the bid, what their design drawings were like, and which one had a higher chance of winning compared to her previous design. In fact, when it came to designers, participating in this kind of competition was more important than whose design drawings were better.

Anran glanced at su Yicheng, pointed at her phone, and then pointed outside, meaning to say that she would wait for him outside.

Su Yicheng looked at her and nodded slightly.

Anran walked to the door of the store while holding her phone and saying, ” &Quot; what does that have to do with me? no matter who wins the bid, it’s someone else’s business. I won’t go over to congratulate him, so why would I need to know who won the bid? What’s the Difference? ”

“Is that so?” Chen Cheng was a little silent. After a while, she said,”I heard that you’ve also resigned.” When she was in the company, she had a good relationship with the girl at the front desk. Even now that she had come out, the two were still in contact. The news of her departure was also told to her by the girl at the front desk.

“Yes, he left.” &Quot; yes, ” Anran replied calmly as she looked at the cars and people coming and going on the streets. The weather was pretty good today. The sun was high in the sky, and the Golden sunlight covered the entire Jiang city. The sky was blue, but there were fewer clouds.

Hearing this, Chen Cheng felt a little guilty. &Quot; I’m sorry. If it wasn’t for me, Yingluo ... &Quot;

Before she could finish, Anran interrupted her and said, ” &Quot; even if you’re not here, there’ll be someone else. They’re targeting me in this matter and nothing else. &Quot;

If she wasn’t wrong, Huang Dexing was probably being pressured by the Ling sisters behind the scenes. Sometimes, when she thought about it, power really wasn’t a good thing. Before she married su Yicheng, although she was also somewhat suppressed in the company, she still lived a carefree life. But now, because of the technology City project, Huang Dexing was indirectly asking for some of the projects, which was also another kind of pressure. However, on the other hand, power was really a good thing. If su Yicheng hadn’t been in this position, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to resign and leave.

Chen Cheng was silent and didn’t speak for a long time. In the end, she still regretted it and felt very guilty about Anran.

Anran turned around and saw the shop assistant passing the health care products in the paper bag to su Yicheng. Anran didn’t have the heart to say anything to Chen Cheng, so she only said lightly, ” “Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

“Wait,” Hearing her say hang up, Chen Cheng quickly called out.

“Is there anything else?” he asked, frowning. She didn’t think she had anything to say to her.

&Quot; although you don’t want to know who hit the ‘Mobile Manor’ target, I think it’s necessary for me to let you know, so that you can be on guard against them. &Quot; Chen Cheng was so

Hearing this, Anran’s brows furrowed even more. She didn’t quite understand what she meant. &Quot; I don’t quite understand what you mean. &Quot;

&Quot; the bid this time is ‘extraordinary building’. &Quot; Chen Cheng said.

&Quot; a ‘Beyonder building’? ” Anran muttered softly. She felt that the name was familiar, but she couldn’t remember which company it was.

&Quot; it seems that everyone is very surprised that extraordinary won the bid. In just two to three months, this company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, rose rapidly. In the past two months, it has already taken down several big projects in China. Now, it has taken down such a heavyweight international project. It is indeed amazing. &Quot; Chen Cheng said.

“Maybe they really do have the strength.” Anran replied indifferently. She didn’t care about other people’s Affairs. Whether they had the strength or connections, it had nothing to do with her.

“No,” she said. Chen Cheng rejected her idea and said, &Quot; I’ve seen the design they won this time. You wouldn’t have thought that the design they used this time was more than 80% similar to our previous design. The lighting, the ceiling design, and even some of the data and proportions were exactly the same. This is too unbelievable. Do you think there’s such a coincidence? ” There couldn’t be such a coincidence. This was simply plagiarism. She was sure that they had definitely seen their previous designs. Otherwise, they couldn’t have drawn such a similar design!

“What did you just say?” 80% similarity, if that wasn’t plagiarism, what was it!

She suddenly thought of something and Chen Cheng asked, ” “Sister Gu, do you know mo Fei?”

Hearing this, an ran’s eyes widened in disbelief. &Quot; who are you talking about? ”

&Quot; could it be the designer of extraordinary? the work this time was designed by him. He seems to be the chief designer and Executive Officer of extraordinary ... &Quot;

Anran couldn’t hear what Chen Cheng was saying on the other end of the phone. At this moment, her head was buzzing and completely blank. That’s right, she finally remembered why the name ‘extraordinary’ sounded so familiar. Wasn’t that mo Fei’s company? however, she didn’t expect that mo Fei would be the one who stole her design. This was something that she had never dreamed of!
