Marriage First, True Love Later Novel-Chapter 118

Su Yicheng wasn’t around, and father su and Grandpa su had also stayed in the Army and hadn’t returned, so only Anran, Qin Yun, and su yijiao were at the lunch table.

&Quot; an ran, come. You’re too skinny. Eat more. &Quot; Qin Yun picked up a large piece of meat and placed it in an ran’s bowl. Then, she hurriedly took a bowl of soup for her to drink.

“Mom, I, I’ll do it myself.” Anran was a little embarrassed. By right, she should be the one getting food and soup for her. She was her elder, but now, she was the one who had to serve her. No matter how she thought about it, she felt ashamed and embarrassed.

“I’m fine.” Qin Yun smiled as she passed the big bowl of fish soup to her. As if she could read her mind, she said, ” &Quot; Anran, don’t be so formal. Don’t be embarrassed. Just treat this like your own home. &Quot;

“I’m not being reserved.” Anran smiled, a little embarrassed. In fact, she was very comfortable in the SU family. Qin Yun was not a mother-in-law who put on airs, and she was very good to her, not giving her any pressure at all. Even su Yicheng had told her several times that his mother had forgotten about her son after getting a wife.

It was said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the most difficult to get along with. However, she was really lucky to have met such a mother-in-law. She wasn’t superstitious, but she was grateful to God for letting her meet such a good man and such a good family. She really felt that she was very lucky, as if she had really been blessed.

&Quot; sister-in-law, tell us how you met my brother. Tell us about your dating process. &Quot; Su yijiao put a green bean in her mouth and asked as she savored it.

“Uh,” Anran froze and couldn’t say a word for a long time. How could she say that her marriage to su Yicheng was a big mistake?

“Yeah, tell me.” Qin Yun, who was standing next to him, also seemed to be particularly interested in her love history. In fact, she mainly introduced countless girls to su Yicheng, but almost every time, they were rejected by su Yicheng with a single sentence. She had never even seen them before. With his boring personality, she had once thought that it would be impossible for her to wait for him to get married in the next few years. However, she did not expect him to suddenly bring back a wife for her.

&Quot; actually, actually ... &Quot; Anran stammered. She was too embarrassed to speak.

Su yijiao and Qin Yun stared at her, as if they were expecting something. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

An ran braced herself and said. &Quot; actually, we met through a blind date, but I got the wrong person. &Quot;

Qin Yun and su yijiao were both stunned and stared at her for a while before they reacted. Su yijiao stared at Anran and said suspiciously, ” “So it’s a mistake that you two know each other?” She had thought that they might have met at a dinner party, or that they had met through someone’s introduction, but she had never thought that it would be a mistake!

......

Qin Yun slapped her thigh heavily and said with some excitement, ” &Quot; Oh my God, why didn’t I think of this? I should have told those girls to use this trick against ah Zhen. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited so long for him to get married. I might even be a grandmother by now. &Quot;

An ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that her answer had disappointed them.

“What’s next?” Su yijiao asked nosily, ” did you two meet like this and start dating? ”

Anran’s lips twitched dryly. Following her words, she nodded a little unnaturally. Of course, she wouldn’t tell her that she only found out that she had met the wrong person after getting her marriage certificate! If that happened, she would really have to find a crack in the ground to fit in.

“Tsk, so old-fashioned. I thought you guys would be more romantic.” Su yijiao pursed her lips in disinterest. This was completely different from what she had imagined. It wasn’t romantic at all.

Anran only smiled, thinking that if she were to tell her that she and su Yicheng weren’t even in a relationship at all, and that they had directly registered their marriage without even pursuing each other, would she think that the old-fashioned way of getting to know each other, dating, and then getting married could actually be considered romantic? However, when it came to dating, there seemed to be something missing between them. She clearly remembered that a certain someone had vowed to her that the two of them were going to be in a relationship, but she had only received flowers from him once, had a candlelight dinner with him, and watched half a movie. After that, there was nothing else!

“You’re just a kid, what do you know? Being in love and getting married requires two people to spend their days together. Do you think that romance can be eaten?” Qin Yun looked at her daughter in annoyance.

“What? I’m already 26, not a kid. Why do you guys keep treating me like a kid?” Su yijiao protested in dissatisfaction. She pouted and widened her eyes, looking really childish. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Qin Yun didn’t even look at her and directly said, ” &Quot; as long as you’re not married, you’re just a child in my eyes. No matter how old you are, no matter how old you are, you can’t change the fact that I gave birth to you. &Quot;

Su yijiao glared at Qin Yun for a long time, but she finally gave up and turned her head away in a fit of pique.

Qin Yun didn’t even look at her. She directly reached out her chopsticks and placed more food on Anran’s plate as she said, ” “An ran, eat more.”

Anran could only nod with a bitter smile. Seeing that the bowl of rice was half-filled with vegetables, Anran could only try her best to start eating.

After lunch, Qin Yun was suddenly called over by deputy commander Zhang’s wife. She said that she needed to help out.

Anran walked around the courtyard to pass the time, but she was really bored. After she started to feel sleepy, she decided to go back to Su Yicheng’s original room to lie down and sleep for a while.

Su yijiao’s room was right next to su Yicheng’s, so if one wanted to go to su Yicheng’s room, they had to pass by su yijiao’s door.

Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but she was extremely sleepy. She woke up early in the morning, so Anran kept yawning. Su yijiao’s door didn’t seem to be closed tightly. When Anran passed by, she heard a faint cry. Anran was stunned, and her pajamas were half awake. She followed the sound, and through the gap between the door and the door, Anran saw su yijiao sitting on the bed with her head covered. She was crying in a very suppressed voice.

“Knock, knock, knock ...” An ran knocked on the door politely.

When su yijiao saw that someone had entered the room, she suddenly raised her head and wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand. Then, he unnaturally raised his voice and shouted at the door, ” “Come in.” Of course, no matter how well he concealed it, his voice still had a faint sobbing tone.

An ran pushed the door open and saw papers and photos scattered all over the floor in front of the bed. Su yijiao seemed to have only just realized what was going on. She suddenly got up from the bed and quickly picked up the photos on the floor before Anran came over. Then, he looked up at Anran awkwardly and awkwardly. With a stiff face, he said with a dry smile, ” “S-sis-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?”

An ran looked at her, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all. He shook his head slightly and walked up to her. He grabbed the tissue on the bedside table and handed it to her. &Quot; do you want to talk to me? ”

Su yijiao knew that she couldn’t pretend anymore, so she reached out to take the tissue she handed over. She pouted and shook her head stubbornly.

Anran glanced at the photo on the ground that she hadn’t put away in time. It was a group photo of su Yicheng, ye Ziwen, and su yijiao. In the photo, su yijiao was standing in the middle, holding su Yicheng’s arm in one hand and ye Ziwen’s arm in the other. She was smiling very happily. She suddenly remembered that su Yicheng had said that yijiao liked ye Ziwen, and looking at her current expression, she could more or less guess who yijiao was crying for.

Su yijiao followed her gaze and saw a photo that had been picked up from the ground. She pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, ” “What? you saw it.” He reached out and took the photo in a fit of pique.

Anran chuckled and sat down next to her. &Quot; do you want to talk? ”

Su yijiao looked at her for a while, then turned her head and said slowly, ” sister-in-law, why do you think it’s so hard to like someone? now that I think about it, it’s actually good for you and brother to be like this. Mom was right. It’s more realistic to be ordinary. &Quot; You don’t have to do it in a grand manner, as long as you know each other’s feelings, even the smallest things can be very sweet.” He turned to look at her and said with a bitter smile, ” &Quot; but it’s really hard to love one-sided and never get a response. I feel like I can’t go on. &Quot; As she spoke, her hand gently touched ye Ziwen’s face in the photo.

Su yijiao continued, ” he seems to always treat me as a child, always treating me as a sister next door. He clearly knows my feelings for him, and he clearly knows that I’ve grown up and that I’m already a real woman, not the insensible little girl who liked to cry, but he’s still unwilling to accept my feelings for him. He says that I was just a form of worship and infatuation when I was young, and that it’s not love. &Quot; As she spoke, su yijiao sniffed a little uncomfortably, trying not to let her tears fall from her eyes. &Quot; I can’t even tell what I’m feeling. I know very well that my love for him is love, and it’s the love between a man and a woman! Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do? he’s always avoiding me. I’m a little tired. I used to think I wouldn’t be tired, but I’ve been running after him for a long time. I’m really tired and I feel like I can’t keep going.”

Anran sighed softly and reached out to touch her head. After Lin Li’s incident, she deeply understood that love belonged to both sides. A one-sided love couldn’t be accommodating for a lifetime, and that would be too much for her. He looked at her for a long time before he said, ” &Quot; if you’re tired, stop by yourself. Don’t always let yourself suffer. &Quot;

Su yijiao was stunned. She stared at her for a long time, unable to react.

Anran continued, ” love is a matter between two people. It’s not enough to only rely on one-sided effort and hard work. Loving a person doesn’t mean giving everything for the other party. You can’t just blindly accommodate him and sacrifice yourself. If you really try hard but still can’t get a response from him, then we have to consider whether we should let go. &Quot;

&Quot; but ... &Quot; su yijiao looked at her, and her tears fell uncontrollably. &Quot; but, but I really like him. I’ve liked him since I was a child, and I’ve liked him for almost 20 years. Liking him seems to have become a part of my life. &Quot;

“What if he comes back with another woman one day? what will you do? Are you still going to hide and cry like this?” Anran asked her in return. Although this question was a bit cruel, she didn’t want su yijiao to become the second Lin Li. Instead of waiting to see her heartache in the future, it was better to persuade her to let go now.

Su yijiao was stunned, as if she had never thought about this question. For so many years, she had been chasing after ye Ziwen. Although ye Ziwen had always avoided her and emphasized that he only treated her as his younger sister, she had never seen any woman by his side. She had never thought that ye Ziwen would be with another woman. However, if he really had another woman, what should she do?

“Yijiao, try to let go first. At least don’t let yourself run after him. It’s good to like him, but if he really doesn’t give you a chance, then why force it? feelings are never something that you can force to live on.” An ran comforted her. She liked that she could truly understand.

Su yijiao was stunned for a long time before she slowly turned around and looked at Anran. With an empty expression, she said, ” &Quot; sister-in-law, I’m so tired. I want to take a nap. &Quot;

Anran knew that her words just now were a little harsh, and she needed time to digest them. He nodded and patted her hand. &Quot; yes, have a good sleep. Don’t think too much. &Quot;

“Yes.” Su yijiao replied softly, but she didn’t look up. Her eyes were fixed on the photo in her hand.

Anran didn’t say anything more. She turned around and left the room, closing the door behind her.

She suddenly felt a little emotional, but at the same time, she also felt a little fortunate. She was glad that she had met su Yicheng. She didn’t know if there was love between them, but she could feel that he liked and cared about her, and she also felt the same way. This feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and she could vaguely realize that it was no longer just like, but a favorable impression, and it seemed to be love!

This realization came too suddenly, and even Anran herself was a little shocked. However, she quickly felt relieved and reached out to touch her stomach. Even though she couldn’t feel anything right now, she was inexplicably touched, for him and for herself.

She suddenly wanted to hear his voice and tell herself what she was thinking.

She really did it. The moment the call connected, Anran felt a little nervous. Just as she was about to hang up, the call was connected, and su Yicheng’s warm and low voice came from the other side of the phone. &Quot; Hello, Anran? ”

The initial stage fright and fear disappeared the moment she heard his voice. She held her phone and sat in the room and bed that he had slept in before. She replied with a chuckle, ” “Yeah, are you still busy?”

“Yes, but I’ll be back before evening.” Su Yicheng seemed to be in a good mood after receiving her call, and there was a faint smile in his voice.

Su Yicheng. &Quot; An ran called him by his full name.

“What?”

She took a deep breath and prepared herself for what she was going to say next. However, her heart was beating faster and faster uncontrollably. Her face was also slightly hot. She thought that her face must be red again at this moment.

Not hearing her answer, su Yicheng called out with some uncertainty, ” Anran? ”

“I, I love you.” He hung up the phone almost as soon as he finished speaking. His face seemed to be hotter than before. He was afraid that he would not know what to say when he returned, so he quickly removed the phone’s panel. Then, she used her hands to continuously slap her face, hoping to cool down the heat on her face a little.

Looking at the phone and its battery that had been removed, he thought of his own actions just now and shook his head in amusement. He muttered to himself, ” “Why did I hang up? I should have asked him directly if he loved me. ” After saying that, she laughed and patted her face. Her face was very hot. In the end, she had to get up and go to the bathroom to wash her face. Only then did the heat slightly cool down.

After washing his face, he laid down on the bed and gently patted his lower abdomen. The corners of his mouth carried a faint smile as he muttered to himself, ” “Baby, how do you think daddy will react?” As she thought about it, she felt that her current behavior was extremely childish, so she shook her head and told herself not to think about it. At this time, the sleepiness came back again, and her eyelids slowly became heavy. She closed them bit by bit, and she slowly fell asleep on the pillow that su Yicheng had slept on before.

In her sleep, it seemed like someone was gently touching her, his hand slowly caressing her face. Anran frowned and whimpered, but she didn’t wake up.

Then, she felt a warm touch on her lips. That kiss was too familiar; it was su Yicheng’s favorite way of kissing her. &Quot; Anran ... Anran ... &Quot; as he called out, he pecked her face gently, again and again, as if he could never get enough of it.

“Hehe.” The kiss was a little itchy, and Anran giggled. Her chest was still heaving up and down because of the kiss just now, and she patted him with a smile. &Quot; it’s so itchy, hehe, so itchy. &Quot;

After a while, su Yicheng finally seemed to have had enough of kissing her. He gently turned her around, and the two of them lay on the single bed, which wasn’t too big, in each other’s arms. Su Yicheng buried his face in her shoulder, and the tip of his nose was filled with her fragrance. His arms around her were a little heavy, but he controlled his strength well and didn’t hurt her.

“You’re done?” In his arms, Anran asked gently with a beautiful smile and a touch of satisfaction.

He didn’t answer her, but held her even tighter. After a while, he called softly by her ear, ” Anran ... &Quot; his voice was melodious and lingering.

“What?” An ran responded gently and drew circles on his back with her hand.

Su Yicheng let go of her and slightly put some distance between them. He stared into her eyes, then said in an extremely serious tone, ” say it again. Can you say it again? ”

Anran was a little stunned and didn’t react in time. She asked in confusion, ” huh? ” She did not know what he was referring to.

Su Yicheng looked at her steadily, and the corners of his mouth curved up into a beautiful smile. His eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be able to squeeze water out of them. He slowly said, ” repeat what you said on the phone just now. I want you to look me in the eyes. &Quot; His tone was very gentle, but the content of his words had an overbearing tone that could not be refused.

Then, she remembered the phone call she had made before she went to bed. Anran’s face immediately warmed up as she looked at him, and her face turned red. Asking her to say it again, and in front of him and looking into his eyes, she was really a little embarrassed to say it.

Looking around with her big black eyes, Anran decided to play dumb until the end. &Quot; did I just call you? ”

Looking at her, su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled. &Quot; don’t you remember? ”

Anran suddenly remembered something Lin Li had said before. She had said that acting dumb depended on one’s attitude. If one’s attitude was firm enough, then acting dumb could fool others. With this thought in mind, Anran nodded her head firmly. &Quot; I have no impression of it at all! &Quot;

“Is that so?” Su Yicheng smiled, reached out, and pinched her nose. He looked at her and asked, ” “Do you need me to remind you?”

Anran looked at him steadily and didn’t say yes or no, but her face grew redder and redder.

Su Yicheng stopped smiling and looked at her with a more determined expression than before. He then said, ” Anran, I love you. &Quot; An ran heard every word clearly.

Anran was stunned, and she seemed to have forgotten to breathe. She just stared at him, and the words ” I love you ” were still in her ears. It was as if it had been set to a single loop, repeating over and over in her ears.

Su Yicheng reached out and touched her face, then asked seriously, ” “Does this hint remind you of something?”

Anran suddenly felt a lump form at the tip of her nose. Her face was no longer red, but her eyes began to feel hot. She couldn’t control her tears, and they rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. She reached out and patted him, a classic example of someone who didn’t mean what they said. She clearly felt extremely sweet inside, but she still accused him in a tearful voice, ” you’re so annoying! &Quot;

Su Yicheng grabbed her hand and stared at her. He asked persistently, ” have you thought of it? ”

Anran kept nodding as she said, ” I love you too. &Quot;

Su Yicheng laughed, and the smile on his face couldn’t help but widen, then he hugged her tightly.
