Chapter 15: 15

On Saturday morning, Lin Xiaofen woke up very early and, like normal, was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. However, today was not like the past. Today, there was a lot of excitement in the kitchen. Gu Hengwen and Anran had also gotten up early and worked as assistants for Lin Xiaofen.

Although breakfast wasn’t plentiful, it was very healthy. Lin Xiaofen made plain porridge. Gu Hengwen had also gone out to buy steamed stuffed buns in the morning. Anran had also carefully fried an egg, although it didn’t look good.

On the breakfast table, the three had come to a mutual understanding that they would not mention what had happened last night after they had gone home. However, Lin Xiaofen and Gu Hengwen clearly did not forget that they had gained an additional son-in-law the night before.

“Ranran. I forgot to ask last night. What does Yicheng do?” Lin Xiaofen asked. She was quite satisfied with Su Yicheng.

“Oh.” Anran paused, somewhat unable to respond. She did not know what his job was. She didn’t even know what family members he had.

“You didn’t ask him?” Lin Xiaofen guessed when she saw her peculiar expression.

“No, no, h-he works as an assistant at a foreign enterprise. His company is quite big. I have forgotten at the moment what company it is called,” Anran quickly explained. She remembered that, when that Bureau Chief Tong saw him, he was quite polite and had called him Special Assistant Su. His company was probably quite big, and his position was not low.

Gu Hengwen nodded. “It doesn’t matter what his job is. What’s important is that he has a good personality.”

Anran smiled and nodded. Then, she lowered her head and ate the porridge.

“Since you guys have already registered for marriage, when do you guys plan to hold the wedding ceremony?” Lin Xiaofen asked.

Anran paused. She hadn’t thought about a marriage ceremony. Also, when she had “asked for his hand in marriage” yesterday, she had told Su Yicheng that they wouldn’t have a marriage ceremony. “Mom, we don’t plan on holding a marriage ceremony.”

“Not holding one?!” Lin Xiaofen furrowed her eyebrows and turned around to look at her husband.

Gu Hengwen placed down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then, he looked at Anran and asked, ” Anran, tell your mom and me the truth. Did you agree to marry Yicheng because your heart couldn’t let go of Mo Fei? We’ve asked Lin Li. She said that Mo Fei has returned.”

Anran paused. After the hurt in her heart passed, her eyes flickered. “No. Mo Fei and I already cut our relationship six years ago.” After she finished speaking, she avoided her gaze and quickly ate the porridge in large gulps.

Her reaction was very obvious. Everyone could tell whether or not she had let him go.

Gu Hengwen lightly sighed and said:”The road is your own. You can make the choices that you want and choose how you will walk it. Mom and I just hope that you won’t regret it in the future.”

Anran lifted her head, looked at her father, and nodded.

After breakfast, Anran returned to her room. After pondering for a long time, she called Lin Li. Anran felt that when apologizing, her attitude was very important.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Unlike normally, this time, when Lin Li picked up, her tone was cold and peculiar.

“Girl, let’s have lunch together,” Anran was not scared as she laughed and said, flatteringly.

“I’m not free.” Lin Li coldly refused. She was still angry.

“Let’s go together. I know that, recently, a new Western restaurant opened on Park Road. I heard that their steak is very delicious,” Anran said to her, enticingly.

Lin Li was famous for her love for food. Her appetite was good, but no matter much she ate, she didn’t gain weight. When they were in college, they were in the same dorm. One day, they arrived late in the cafeteria. The food was almost all gone, but there was still rice left. The two remembered that there was still some food that was prepared with soy sauce in the dorm, and they decided to eat the food that was prepared with soy sauce with the rice. Their dorm was on the fifth floor and was close to the cafeteria. The two each carried a bag of rice and were prepared to go upstairs. Lin Li looked at all of the steps and said that she was starving. Anran looked at her and said, “Since you are carrying rice, you might as well walk and eat.” On the way up, just as they reached the fifth floor, she heard Lin Li, who was behind her, say that she needed to go and get more rice. Anran looked at her empty hands, not understanding, and asked, “Where’s your rice?” Lin Li looked at her strangely. “I ate it.” After she had finished speaking, she turned back around and rushed back down, muttering to herself and wondering if there was still rice in the cafeteria.

On the other side of the phone, Lin Li was silent for a long time. In the end, she coolly said,”Come to my house at noon, or else I won’t go.”

Anran laughed. If she didn’t mishear, she seemed to just have heard Lin Li swallow. However, she tactfully did not say anything and quickly responded, “Yes, queen mother.”

When Anran arrived at Lin Li’s house at noon, it was Chengxiang who opened the door. Chengxiang was a refined, handsome man who had fair and clear skin. When he wore his glasses, he looked a lot like a scholar. In the past, Lin Li had been attracted to his scholarly aura and had chased after him like a fangirl for a long time. In the end, she succeeded on a dark and windy night.

“You came.” Chengxiang smiled at Anran warmly.

“Yes. Where’s your queen mother?” Anran asked. She was classmates with Chengxiang and Lin Li. They were the only ones she still had contact with after graduation.

“She’s changing her clothes.” Chengxiang told her to go sit in the living room, and he went into the kitchen to pour her a glass of water. As he poured the water, he said, “You guys don’t have to eat out. If you guys want to eat anything, I can make it for you.”

“Okay.” She had tried Chengxiang’s cooking. It was definitely equal to that of the head chefs in the restaurant.

“No way. I won’t give you a chance to enslave my small Xiang.” Lin Li snorted as she walked out of her room, having changed her clothes. When she saw Chengxiang pouring Anran a glass of water, she reached out and took it, lifted her head, and took a large gulp. Then, she returned the glass to Chengxiang. She looked at Anran and said, “In the future, whenever this person comes over, we do not need to serve drinks.” Lin Li was also a beauty. As long as she did not speak, then she definitely met up to the standards of China’s traditional beauty. She had large eyes, white skin, was tall and had inherited a carefree temperament. If she didn’t speak, then she was definitely a girl from a wealthy family. However, the second she opened her mouth, she entirely lost the aura of being a girl from a wealthy family and became like a female bandit who had come from the mountain tops.

Chengxiang helplessly smiled at Anran. Anran gave him a small smile in response.

“Let’s go. Why are you still sitting here? Do you really think that you are a guest?” Lin Li angrily said to Anran.

Anran quickly got up. “All right, all right, queen mother. I will go and open the door for you right now.” As she spoke, she quickly went and opened the door.

Lin Li nodded, satisfied. “That’s more like it.” She turned around, warmly smiled at Chengxiang, and said, “Hubby, I’m leaving.” As she spoke, she went up and placed a kiss on Chengxiang’s cheek. Lin Li would only show a woman’s charm in front of Chengxiang. Anran found her charm to be disgusting. However, each time she made a face, Lin Li would shoot her threatening gazes, and, over time, she tyrannically forced Anran to become used to it. Therefore, after 10 years, Anran no longer put on a strange face whenever she saw this.
