Chapter 87: 87

Behind the desk, su Yicheng was a little absent-minded. He was holding a document in his hand, but he couldn’t focus on anything the whole morning.

Knock, knock, knock. &Quot; Someone knocked on the office door, and at the same time, su Yicheng’s thoughts were pulled back from somewhere.

He raised his head and looked at the door, then said loudly, ” “Come in.”

Secretary Zheng came in with some documents and saw that he was in a good mood. He handed him the speech that would be used in the afternoon and said excitedly, ” “City assistant, this is the speech for this afternoon. Secretary Xiao Chen just called me and told me to prepare. It seems like the proposal passed and the municipal Party Committee intends to let you be in charge of the construction of the technology City.”

Su Yicheng glanced at him indifferently. His expression didn’t show much excitement, and he simply responded, ” mm, I got it. &Quot;

His coldness made Secretary Zheng a little confused. The smile on his face slowly disappeared. He looked at him and asked in confusion, ” “City assistant, what happened?”

Speaking of work, everything had been going smoothly recently. There shouldn’t be any major problems. Secretary Zheng was a little confused.

Su Yicheng snapped back to reality and looked at Secretary Zheng. He waved the folder in his hand and said, ” “Secretary Zheng, is bureau chief Tong’s information all here?”

“Uh,” Secretary Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, ” “All the information about him in the past few years after he started working is here.” A few days ago, he suddenly asked for Tong Wenhai’s information to be transferred out. His information could only be found in the personnel Bureau after he started working. He had tried his best to get all the information that could be transferred out.

Su Yicheng nodded and didn’t say anything else. He reached out to take the script in his hand and roughly read it.

Secretary Zheng was a little worried and asked tentatively, ” “City assistant, is there a problem?”

Su Yicheng didn’t look too far and only shook his head slightly. His eyes were fixed on the script in his hand, and he circled around and marked it with his pen as he replied indifferently, ” “It’s nothing,” He suddenly thought of something and asked, ” which conference room is the meeting in the afternoon? director Tong will be there, right? ”

“The meeting will be held in Hall one. Director Tong should be there as well,” Secretary Zheng said.

Su Yicheng nodded and didn’t say anything else.

After lunch, Anran wanted to take advantage of the lunch break to go to the mall to buy Lin Li a wedding gift.

In fact, when they arrived at the mall and saw the products on the blind shelves, Anran only felt a little dizzy. She had no experience in this area at all. In the past, when her classmates got married, they would give wedding gifts according to everyone’s wishes. However, Lin Li was different. She was her best friend, and on her most important day, she wanted to give her the most special gift.

However, this seemed to be a little difficult.

Walking in front of the display windows, an ran had no clue at all. Suddenly, they stopped in front of a jewelry store. There was a simple but beautiful pearl necklace in the display window. In fact, it wasn’t designed by a famous designer. In fact, this necklace didn’t even have a design at all. It was just a very thin thread and a very beautiful and full Pearl. Without any additional decorations, the Pearl was restored to its original form.

Anran was immediately attracted to the necklace. She didn’t know if Lin Li liked it or not, but she liked it very much, so Anran decided to give it to Lin Li as a gift.

She walked around the entrance of the store and entered from the outside. Then, she looked for the necklace placed by the window. She pulled over the service staff in the store and asked her to take off the necklace so that she could take a good look.

When the waiter found out which necklace she wanted, he smiled apologetically at Anran, shook his head, and said, ” &Quot; I’m sorry, miss. That pearl necklace was ordered by our customer in our store. Our store has no right to sell it. &Quot;

“Oh, I see!” An ran was a little disappointed. She seemed to really like the necklace.

The waiter smiled apologetically at her. Seeing that she was slightly disappointed, he said, ” although I can’t buy it, do you want me to take it out and show it to you? ”

Hearing this, an ran quickly nodded and said, ” “Sure, thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” The waiter smiled faintly, turned around, and took the necklace out of the window. The two of them went to the counter with the necklaces.

The Pearl was really beautiful. Although an ran didn’t know the quality of the Pearl, it was very comfortable to look at. The size was the same, and it was shiny. The more she looked at it, the more an ran liked it.

At this moment, a man came in from outside and asked the staff at the counter, ” &Quot; may I ask if the pearl necklace I ordered here last month is ready? ”

Hearing this, the waiter turned to look at Anran apologetically. The man followed his gaze and looked at Anran, who was sitting at the counter to his right. Anran also raised her head to look at him. Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.

“It’s you!” An ran was a little surprised that she would meet Zhou han here, and he was the owner of this pearl necklace.

Zhou han nodded at her without much expression on his face. He only said indifferently, ” “What a coincidence.” Then, he followed her gaze and saw the pearl necklace on her neck.

Anran nodded. Seeing that he was looking at her neck, she finally reacted and quickly reached out to untie the pearl necklace around her neck. She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, ” &Quot; I’m sorry. I just thought that this necklace was too beautiful, so I asked the waiter to try it on for me. I’ll take it off and return it to you. &Quot;

Because she was in a hurry, the simple button became a little difficult to hold. When the waiter saw this, he quickly came forward to help her remove the necklace from her neck.

Then, he placed it back into the box and pushed it in front of Zhou han. &Quot; &Quot; this is the necklace that you’ve made. Please have a look. &Quot;

Zhou han nodded but didn’t reach out to take it. He just stared at the brocade box for a long time before he looked up at Anran and asked, ” do you like this necklace? ”

Although Anran didn’t quite understand why he asked this, she still nodded honestly and said, ” “The necklace is very beautiful.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou han turned his head and looked at the necklace again. He didn’t turn his head and slowly said, ” “If you like it, I’ll let you have it.”

“Uh!” Anran was stunned and didn’t know how to react. He said he would give it to her! “Didn’t you specially make this?” It was specially made, so it must have a special meaning and wanted to be given to a special person! How could he give in so easily?

Zhou han turned around and looked at her. He smiled faintly and said, ” “It’s not important. If you like it, I’ll let you have it.”

Anran glanced at the necklace and looked at him with some doubt and uncertainty. She asked, ” “Really?” he asked.

Zhou han nodded and looked at the necklace. His eyes were a little sad as he said, ” &Quot; I’ve always been presumptuous. Since I can’t keep her, what’s the use of keeping the necklace? ” Then, he turned his head and looked at Anran. &Quot; “If you like it, you can have it.” After he finished speaking, he nodded at her and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Anran quickly asked the waiter to help pack it up. She took out her credit card from her bag and wanted to pay the bill. Only then did she learn from the waiter that Zhou han had already paid for the necklace in full when it was stipulated.

Anran quickly took the bag and chased after him. Finally, at the entrance of the mall, she saw Zhou han, who was about to drive away, and quickly called out, ” “Zhou han, Mr. Zhou, wait a moment!”

Zhou han turned his head and stopped opening the door. He stood by the door and watched her run over to him.

Anran finally stopped him before he left, but she was a little out of breath from running. She stood in front of him, her hand on her chest, panting heavily.

Zhou han looked at her and wasn’t in a hurry to ask questions. He waited for her to catch her breath before asking, ” “Is there something?”

Anran raised the necklace bag in her hand, swallowed, and said, ” “Y-you’ve already paid.”

Zhou han looked at her and said indifferently, ” that necklace is 5000 Yuan. You can give me cash directly. &Quot;

Anran was stunned. She was a little surprised by his straightforwardness, but she was even more surprised by the price of the necklace. She looked at him and asked with some uncertainty, ” “You’re not going to give it to me at a low price on purpose, are you?” Although she didn’t know the quality of the pearls, it was too cheap to say that the necklace cost 5000 Yuan.

Zhou han looked at her, and his expression didn’t even change. He opened his mouth and asked, ” “Why should I give it to you at a low price?”

Anran was stumped by his question. Yes, he had no reason to sell the necklace he had bought at a high price to him at a low price. With his relationship with su Yicheng, it was impossible for him to do so.

Seeing that she didn’t answer, Zhou han asked again, ” how is it? can I have the cash? ”

Anran came back to her senses and nodded, saying, ” “But I don’t have that much money on me. You can give me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you immediately after I get back to the company. Or, there’s a bank here. Wait for me here, and I’ll go over and withdraw the money for you.”

Zhou han looked at him and finally said, ” “You can transfer the money to me online later.” As he said that, he reached out his hand to her. &Quot; give me the phone. &Quot;

Anran handed the phone to him in a daze. She saw him press a few numbers, and then a slightly depressed voice sounded from his pocket. Hearing that, Zhou han hung up the phone and handed it back to her, saying, ” “That was my number. I’ll get my Secretary to send you my account number later.”

Anran nodded and didn’t have any objections.

Zhou han got into the car and was about to drive away. He glanced at Anran, who was still standing by the side, and asked, ” “To where you are, do you want me to give you a ride?”

Anran glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was almost time for work. She nodded, gave the address, and said, ” “I’ll have to trouble you then.”

Zhou han wasn’t a talkative person. The two of them sat in the car and were so angry that it was a little awkward.

Anran looked out the window, then turned her head and asked him, ” “By the way, is the child’s health better?” Anran sounded a little apologetic. She had been holding a grudge against the child for giving him seafood pasta by mistake last time, which caused him to have a serious seafood allergy.

Zhou han turned his head to look at her, nodded, and said indifferently, ” “Much better, it’s not a big deal.”

Hearing this, an ran felt better. She nodded and said, ” “That’s good.”

Zhou han looked at the road ahead seriously. There wasn’t much communication between the two of them. They even sent Anran to the company. Then, Zhou han nodded at her and drove away.

An hour after Anran returned to the company, she received a text message from his phone. Without any tactful words, he directly sent her his personal bank account number.

Anran transferred the full amount to him using this bank account. After doing all this, Anran took out the pearl necklace from the bag again. She quietly looked at the full Pearl lying in the brocade box and reached out to touch it gently and carefully.

Looking at it, he pulled out Lin Li’s number from the phone’s address book and then called her directly.

The call was picked up very quickly. Lin Li seemed to be in a good mood, and even her voice carried a smile. &Quot; “Hello, an Zi.”

After hearing her call her an Zi again after a long time, an ran finally believed that she was really fine. &Quot; how is it, bride-to-be? you’re getting married tomorrow. Are you nervous? ” she asked jokingly.

Lin Li chuckled on the other side of the phone. She didn’t force herself and said honestly, ” &Quot; nervous. I’m so nervous that my heart is about to jump out. &Quot;

Anran laughed without giving her any face. She laughed at her for not being afraid of what she heard and for being so nervous. After laughing, she finally asked her in a serious tone, ” “Have you really thought it through?” She really didn’t want her to suffer too much. If she were to turn back now and refuse to marry, no matter how many people opposed it, she would definitely stand by her side and support her to the end.

Lin Li was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, then laughed and said, ” “An Zi, you heartless thing, why don’t you wish me a good life?”

Anran chuckled and didn’t say anything more. She only said, ” I’ll go to the hotel to accompany you tonight. &Quot;

She had already told su Yicheng in advance that as Lin Li’s bridesmaid, she would be staying at the hotel to accompany Lin Li for the night because she had to accompany her to get her makeup done the next morning.

Su Yicheng didn’t say much and only told her to take care of herself.

On the phone, Anran told him about how she had met Zhou han at the mall in the afternoon, as well as about the necklace. On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng was obviously silent for a while, then calmly replied that he got it. Then, he changed the topic and asked her to wish Lin Li a happy wedding on his behalf.

Anran nodded in response. Then, the two of them said something before hanging up the phone.

Before she got off work in the evening, she specially went to Huang Dexing to ask for leave. Huang Dexing didn’t say anything more. He only asked her about the progress of the design of the event Manor and told her to make good use of her time.

After work, she went directly to the hotel where Lin Li was staying. When she was waiting for the elevator in the hotel lobby, she happened to meet Chengxiang coming down from upstairs. Chengxiang saw her and smiled faintly at her.

Anran felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at him now, he was completely different from before, especially after what had happened in the restaurant last time.

&Quot; Anran, ” Cheng Xiang said first. &Quot; tomorrow, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Lin Li. She’s still pregnant, but she doesn’t know it. &Quot; As he spoke, he was full of worry and pampering for Lin Li, making people have the illusion that he really loved Lin Li.

Anran turned her face away and said indifferently, ” “You don’t have to worry about that. I know what to do.” His tone was not very good. It sounded a little aggressive and impolite.

Chengxiang knew that she was still holding a grudge over the matter between him and Xiaoxiao. He nodded slightly at her, then passed by her and left immediately. He had just come to deliver dinner to Lin Li. Recently, she had been very picky with food and had no appetite for food outside or in the hotel. She could barely eat a little of the food he made.

When Chengxiang walked past Anran, Anran said in a low, threatening tone, ” &Quot; Chengxiang, Lin Li has really given you her heart and body. If you make her unhappy, I won’t forgive you! &Quot;

Chengxiang turned his head and looked at Anran seriously. He then nodded solemnly, as if he was making a promise. &Quot; &Quot; don’t worry. I won’t let Lin Li down! &Quot;

Hearing this, Anran sneered and turned her head to glance at him. &Quot; “Heh, just” not guilty “?”

Chengxiang was speechless, unable to answer.

&Quot; Chengxiang, do you think Lin Li followed you for ten years just to make you live up to her? ” After an ran finished speaking, she turned around and entered the elevator.

Cheng Xiang stood alone in the hotel lobby, his hands tightly clenched. Back then, he had never thought that Xiaoxiao would return, and during this period of time after Xiaoxiao had returned, he had never thought of leaving Lin Li. He had always thought that he would hold Lin Li’s hand and walk through the days to come with her.

When Anran came up, Lin Li was vomiting badly in the bathroom because of her pregnancy. Mother Lin stood beside her and kept patting her back to help her breathe. Father Lin, who was standing outside, couldn’t hide the worry and heartache on his face.

When Lin Li came out of the bathroom, her face was a little pale from the morning sickness. When she saw Anran coming over, she smiled faintly, but her voice was a little weak. &Quot; “Come and pull.”

Anran nodded and smiled at mother Lin, who was next to her. She went forward to take Lin Li and helped her sit down on the sofa. With this help, Anran finally noticed that Lin Li had lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a few days. Her figure, which wasn’t fat to begin with, had become even more lithe.

Although an ran’s heart ached for her, she couldn’t do anything at this time.

Mother Lin and father Lin didn’t seem to know anything about Chengxiang’s affair. The few of them sat down and chatted, talking about all the good things about Chengxiang. Anran didn’t say much and only nodded with a faint smile.

Lin Li’s personality had always been inherited from her father and mother. She was honest and passionate.

The two of them chatted with Anran for a while before returning to their rooms. This was where Anran and Lin Li could have a private conversation.

Anran looked at how thin she was and felt an indescribable heartache and pain. At this moment, she really wanted Lin Li to go back to the past, where she loved to eat everything and could eat anything. It was as if she couldn’t be full no matter how far she ate.

Lin Li seemed to be able to see Anran’s relief, so she smiled and said to her, ” don’t worry. The doctor said that the first three months of pregnancy are like this. You vomit whatever you eat, and you want to eat, but you have a particularly bad appetite. These conditions are normal. You’ll be fine after three months. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. &Quot;

An ran smiled at her and didn’t say anything.

It seemed that they were destined to have a sleepless night. Neither of them felt sleepy. They lay in bed and thought back to their youthful years, recalling the painful but happy college life. As they talked, the two of them started crying. They couldn’t tell the reason, but they just wanted to cry. After crying, they looked at each other and laughed. They were crazy the whole night.

After all, she was a pregnant woman. No matter how excited she was and how much she didn’t want to sleep, the baby in her belly would also feel sleepy. When it was close to twelve o ‘clock, Lin Li finally fell asleep under the call of the baby in her belly.

An ran carefully covered her with the blanket. She still didn’t feel sleepy, so she turned around and entered the bathroom. She turned off the water, wrung the towel, and washed her face.

When she came out of the bathroom, her mobile phone on the low table was beeping with a text message.

Anran was confused as to who would send a text message at such a late hour. She went over to pick up the phone, but she didn’t expect the text message to be from leader su, who was at home.

It was very simple and also very similar to concubine SU’s style. These four words were short, but they made people feel sweet.

‘I miss you, I can’t sleep!’

Anran held her phone, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up. She reached out and carefully touched the four words displayed on the phone screen. She didn’t feel tired of looking at them.

Finally, he turned his head to look at Lin Li, who was lying on the bed, and quietly left the balcony. This was the hotel’s river view room. From the balcony, one could see the entire night of Qingjiang. The lights flickered with neon lights, and the entire city was in a state of hibernation.

He took out his phone and called someone at home directly. The phone was picked up as soon as it rang. The speed at which the phone was picked up made people wonder if he had deliberately waited beside the phone.

“You’re still not sleeping?” Su Yicheng asked as soon as he picked up the phone.

Anran chuckled. &Quot; you’re still up, ” she said. &Quot; you still have to get up early for work tomorrow. &Quot;

On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng sighed faintly, as if he was complaining, and said, ” “I can’t sleep without you in my arms.”

“Leader su, are you lying to a kid?” An ran clearly didn’t believe him.

Su Yicheng didn’t answer her. &Quot; do you think I’m lying to you? ” he asked.

It didn’t look like it, it was! An ran didn’t say it out loud, but she thought so in her heart.

“I think I’m used to hugging you to sleep. It’s a little hard to get used to your sudden absence tonight.” Su Yicheng was telling the truth. After he finished reading the documents that night, he freshened up a little and lay in bed, ready to sleep. However, he didn’t expect that he couldn’t fall asleep for more than two hours. Sometimes, habits were scary things. It had only been a short while, but he was already a little unaccustomed to her absence.

Anran chuckled. Whether it was true or not, these words made her inexplicably happy. She said teasingly, ” “What did you do before you married me? don’t you sleep every night?”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and it was only after a long time that su Yicheng’s faint voice could be heard. He seemed a little depressed, and he only said, ” “I can’t remember.”

Anran laughed, but she carefully turned her head to look inside, afraid that her voice would disturb Lin Li, who was sleeping soundly inside. Seeing that Lin Li was still in the same position as before, Anran turned her head in relief and whispered to leader su, ” okay, go to sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow. &Quot;

It was really getting late, so su Yicheng didn’t pester her and only reminded her, ” “Yeah, you should sleep too. You’ll have a long day tomorrow.”

Anran nodded with a smile and agreed. She hung up and turned around to go back to her room. Lin Li was sleeping soundly, snoring slightly. Anran lay down next to her with her clothes on. She adjusted the time to go to the wedding dress shop with Lin Li the next morning to get her makeup done. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, feeling a little tired.

Anran didn’t realize that, of course, when she closed her eyes and fell asleep, Lin Li, who was sleeping next to her, slowly opened her eyes. She quietly looked at the extremely simple platinum ring on her left ring finger, which Chengxiang had bought from the mall the day he decided to marry her. After a while, she slowly closed her hands and clenched them tightly, as if she was holding onto her last bit of happiness!
