In the car, su Yicheng was playing some soothing music, and his eyes were focused on the road ahead. He wasn’t driving very fast, but he was driving very steadily.
At the traffic light, the car slowed down and stopped. He turned his head to look at Anran, who was sleeping in the back seat. Seeing the dark shadows and fatigue under her eyes that couldn’t be hidden, he frowned slightly and felt a little heartache.
Last night, because of the design plan, Anran almost didn’t sleep at all. She drank cup after cup of coffee. She was most afraid of bitterness, so she even used bitter coffee because she was afraid that she would fall asleep. In the end, she didn’t finish the design plan until five in the morning. When she returned to her room, she fell asleep almost immediately. So, because he was worried that she wouldn’t be able to sleep well today, he didn’t go for morning exercise. Instead, he slept with her until eight.
She was really tired. From the time she got in the car to the time she fell asleep, it took almost less than a minute. In fact, Lin Li’s matter had put her in a state of tension during this period of time, and she hadn’t had a good sleep for several days.
He pushed her bangs to the side and watched her quietly. Finally, he heard a honking sound behind him. He looked up and saw that the red light had passed and the cars had passed.
He started the car and drove slowly. He didn’t pursue speed, but tried to drive the car steadily without any bumps so that he wouldn’t disturb her rest.
In the end, when the car slowly stopped in front of the building of ‘Jingcheng construction’, Anran was still asleep. She was still leaning against the seat and seemed to be in a deep sleep. She even made a small, silly sound.
Su Yicheng looked at his watch. Although he was reluctant to wake her up, he knew that she would really be late if he didn’t wake her up.
&Quot; Anran, Anran, wake up. We’re at the company. &Quot; Su Yicheng reached out and gently patted her face.
Anran groggily woke up from her sleep. Her eyelids were still very heavy. She turned her head to look outside and knew that she had already arrived at the company building. She reached out and rubbed her eyes, trying to make herself more awake and drive away the sleepiness. She then looked at her watch and made sure that she was going to be late if she didn’t get up soon. She quickly turned around and grabbed her briefcase from the back seat, then turned to su Yicheng and quickly said, ” “I’ll go up first.”
Su Yicheng looked at her and felt sorry for her fatigue, so he said, ” “If you’re too tired, you can take a leave.” He couldn’t bear to see her tire herself out like this.
&Quot; no, I have a meeting this morning. Besides, I’ve always wanted to work on this case. This is a good opportunity for me. I have to seize it. &Quot; He opened the door and got out of the car. She leaned against the window and smiled at him. &Quot; alright, I’m going up. Drive safely. &Quot; You don’t have to pick me up at night. I might have to go to the construction site with my colleagues in the afternoon, so I’ll be late.”
Su Yicheng nodded. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the milk and bread he had bought for her in the car. He quickly called out to her, ” Anran, wait a moment. &Quot;
Anran stopped and turned to look at him. She asked, ” “What’s wrong?”
Su Yicheng got out of the car with the bag, walked around the front of the car, and handed her the bag of bread and milk. He said gently, ” “Go up and eat. You can’t skip breakfast.”
Anran held the small paper bag in her hand and nodded at him with a faint smile. At last, she took the initiative to step forward, blushed, and gently and quickly kissed his cheek. Then she quickly said, ” “I’m going up.” Then, without even looking at him, she turned around and quickly walked into the company building.
Su Yicheng was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be the first time she had taken the initiative to kiss him. This realization and awareness made him smile involuntarily. He reached out and touched the place where she had just kissed him, and his mood was lifted a lot, even his eyes were smiling.
Just as he turned around and was about to get into the car, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
“Brother Yicheng!”
Su Yicheng turned his head and looked at Ling Lin, who had just gotten out of the driver’s car. He was slightly taken aback, but then he nodded lightly at her, and the smile on his lips became polite and distant.
“Why is brother Yicheng here?” Ling Lin saw that su Yicheng was in a good mood, and she walked over to him with a smile on her face.
“I’m sending my wife to work.” Su Yicheng responded indifferently, then casually asked, ” “Do you work here too?”
Hearing this, Ling Lin’s expression changed slightly, and unhappiness was written all over her small face. She nodded in a low voice and replied, ” “Yes.”
Su Yicheng only nodded slightly and said to her with a gentle smile, ” “Then I’ll be leaving first, I have to rush to work.” With that, he opened the door and sat in the car. It wasn’t that he couldn’t see her emotions, but her emotions had nothing to do with him. She wasn’t him. She was an outsider, and he didn’t want to ask or care.
Anran showed the design to Huang Dexing, who looked at it carefully. The corners of his eyes and mouth slowly curved up. After a while, he nodded and said to Anran, ” “Good, that’s great. Your idea is very bold and original. If you make the ceiling of the children’s area open to the public, not only will the children be able to breathe in fresh air, but it will also stimulate their interest. Not bad, this is a very good idea.” Putting down the design, Huang Dexing said with a smile, ” I knew you could do it. Anran, you really didn’t let me down. &Quot;
An ran smiled and said, ” &Quot; if you think there’s no problem with this design, I’ll make some changes. In the afternoon, I’ll have them start to set up the sample room and model according to the plan. &Quot;
Huang Dexing nodded. &Quot; yes, we have to hurry up. We’re a little short on time before the deadline for the tender, but even though we’re short on time, we still have to grasp the quality. This is an international project, and they have high standards for quality. If we can win this project in one go, it will be of great significance to you and the company. &Quot;
Anran nodded. &Quot; I know. &Quot; Then, he turned around and prepared to leave. But he was stopped by Huang Dexing behind him.
“An ran, wait.” Huang Dexing stood up from his seat and walked out from behind his desk with a smile.
“Is there anything else, director?” An ran asked, confused.
Huang Dexing looked at her with a smile and said pointedly, ” &Quot; I heard that the proposal for the city of technology has been officially passed, and the specific date of construction may be in the next few months. &Quot;
Anran was stunned. Naturally, she understood the meaning behind his words. She lowered her head slightly and didn’t answer him.
Upon seeing this, Huang Dexing smiled and said, ” &Quot; I heard that the municipal Party has appointed Special Assistant su to be in charge of the technology City case. There might be a transfer order in the next few days. By then, Special Assistant su will be promoted. &Quot;
Hearing this, Anran looked up at him and only smiled faintly. She shook her head and said, ” “Actually, Yicheng rarely talks about his work in front of me because of the special nature of his work. So, I’m not sure if the proposal to build a new technology City has been approved, and if Yicheng is in charge of the construction.”
Huang Dexing also laughed and said, ” it’s just hearsay. &Quot; ” but if such an appointment really comes in the future, I’ll have to ask Special Assistant qingsu to help out. You know, there are some projects that our company can still compete with. &Quot;
Anran looked at him and smiled, but she didn’t know how to respond. He already understood what he meant. She wasn’t stupid, and she heard him clearly. In fact, she personally hated this kind of unfair and unfair projects that relied on nepotism. Since they could get the projects through nepotism, why did they use the bidding as an excuse to play with those who had no connections and could only get the projects through the bidding? how could they talk about fairness and fairness in this way? However, it seemed that this was the case in the whole society. It was difficult for a child to go to school without giving a red packet to the relevant people, let alone using connections to win a project. This kind of atmosphere was not good, but in today’s society, it had become somewhat common.
&Quot; Anran, you don’t have to feel burdened. I don’t have any other intentions. I just want the best for the company. The best for the company is for all of us. Besides, our company’s strength isn’t bad, and our reputation is one of the best in the industry. You know all of this. Of course, we don’t need you to do anything, but we just want you to help us contact Special Assistant su. In addition, the company’s Board of Directors also intends to mention you, so you should be prepared when the time comes.” Huang Dexing said with a smile.
Anran didn’t answer him. She held the design and looked at the ground. She hated what he said, but she couldn’t say it in front of him. In fact, she also knew that in today’s society, everyone only knew that she was su Yicheng’s wife. As long as they knew that su Yicheng would be in charge of the new technology City, everyone wanted to get close to her and get in touch with su Yicheng.
After a long while, Anran slowly raised her head, looked at Huang Dexing, and said indifferently, ” “Director, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.”
Huang Dexing looked deeply at Anran. She had been with him for more than six years, so he knew her quite well. She and Xiao Xiao were two completely different people. You could say that they were two completely opposite people. Xiao Xiao was good at socializing, but of course, he didn’t care what method she used. She was indeed good at socializing and public relations, but she had no talent in design. Although she was willing to learn and work hard, the things she drew were too restrained, too rigid, and not new at all. Anran, on the other hand, was different. Anran had a unique talent for design, and every time she came up with something, it would surprise people. However, when it came to communication, she was always too rigid and not smooth enough. He reckoned that it wouldn’t work if he tried to win su Yicheng over through her this time. Perhaps he should think of other ways. Perhaps, there were other ways that could work. If he could secure a portion of the technology City project this time, he would probably be able to predict the General Manager evaluation of the head office at the end of the year.
Huang Dexing nodded slightly after a long while. He still had a smile on his face and said, ” &Quot; okay, let’s not talk about other things. You should hurry up with the manor event, the sample room, and the model. &Quot;
Anran nodded, then left his office. The moment she closed the door, she let out a long sigh and returned to her own office.
In the afternoon, he discussed the construction of the sample room with the architect. In addition, he also began to arrange for people to build the model. After work, he closed the office door and came out. Xiao Xiao, who was standing opposite him, looked at each other coldly and speechlessly. They turned their eyes away at the same time.
The two of them went down in the same elevator in silence. When they were out of the company’s Gate, Xiao Xiao looked at her with a profound smile and said, ” “I advise you to take good care of your man when you have the time.” With that, he turned around and left.
An ran looked at her, baffled, as she deliberately swayed her waist, grabbed the car, and left.
When Anran returned home, su Yicheng had already returned and was talking to someone on the phone.
Anran changed her shoes and went into the house. She saw that he couldn’t wait to hang up the phone. &Quot; okay, I got it. I’ll ask Anran about moving first, and I’ll give you a reply later. &Quot; By the way, elder Yi Jiao has been following me around for the past two days, and she sounded very serious. Did you say anything to her?”
On the other end of the phone, ye Ziwen was stunned. He said with a slightly guilty conscience,”I, what can I say to her? Alright, alright, I still have things to do. I’ll talk to you later.” After that, he hung up the phone.
She put her briefcase on the low table, sat on the sofa, and stared at the man opposite her.

Su Yicheng hung up the phone and looked at him with a smile on his face. He reached out to her and said, ” come here. &Quot;
Anran quietly walked over to him and put her hand in his large palm. With a strong pull, he directly pulled her onto his lap. No matter how intimate they were, Anran was still not used to it. She half-pushed him, but he hugged her even tighter. As a result, she did not struggle any longer and could only let him hold her tightly. She sighed, leaned against him, and said, ” “I submitted the design draft today.”
“Yes.” Su Yicheng hugged her and responded faintly, then asked, ” “What did they say?” His wife had worked so hard all night to process it. If they dared to say no, Hmph, he would not do it!
“Huang Dexing seems to be very satisfied.” An ran told the truth.
Behind her, su Yicheng nodded slightly with a faint smile on his lips. In fact, he was enjoying the peace and happiness of this moment.
Anran slowly turned around, looked at su Yicheng, and said indifferently, ” “Huang Dexing said you’re going to be promoted.”
Su Yicheng subconsciously furrowed his brows and looked at her. He was stunned for a moment before he asked, ” “What’s wrong? What did he say?” Ha, this news spread really fast. He had not even confirmed it on his side, but the outside world already knew it like the back of their hands. It was related to the problem of interests and always attracted the attention of people. This was not a good thing.
&Quot; he wanted me to put in a good word for you and win you over for the company to create more benefits for the company. He even promised that if I could help the company win a tender for a project, he would give me a chance to be promoted. &Quot; An ran told him honestly.
Su Yicheng looked at her with a faint smile and only asked, ” “Then what do you say?” He didn’t mind other people’s attitude because he had seen many such things, people, and words. He had heard them countless times. Other things didn’t matter. What was more important was her attitude towards this matter.
Anran looked at him for a long time, then finally shook her head and said frankly, ” “I didn’t say anything. I won’t promise anyone anything for you.” His identity was too special. As his wife, she was afraid to say too much and make a mistake.
“Let’s talk about it again.” Anran glanced at him, lowered her head, and said indifferently, ” &Quot; besides, I don’t like this kind of thing either. I’ve always felt that it should be fair, but so what? there are many people who can’t get the fairness they deserve, not because they don’t have the skills or strength, but because they don’t have the connections. &Quot; He shook his head and said in a low voice, ” “I don’t like this.”
Su Yicheng chuckled and reached out to lift her lowered face, then lowered his head and gently pecked her lips. With his lips tightly pressed against hers, he said, ” “The municipal Party Committee has an internal appointment, and Secretary Zhang has also informed me to make the necessary preparations. However, the actual appointment will only be announced next week. “However, regardless of whether I’m in charge of the city construction of Technology City, I don’t intend to play favorites with the bidding of the various projects. Even if you come to plead for leniency or ye Ziwen, it will be done according to the normal procedures. I won’t give you any convenience or secretly appoint you. Then, the bidding is just a show for everyone to see. I don’t have such plans. Do you understand what I mean?”
Upon hearing this, Anran looked at him and smiled faintly. It was as if there was a knot in her heart that had existed for a long time, but it had only been completely solved now. She had always known that the darkness in the officialdom was no less than that in the business world. There were many people who colluded with officials and businessmen just to obtain greater benefits. Some people even monopolized a certain industry for their relatives and friends directly for the sake of their positions. She hated this kind of behavior. Fortunately, he had never done this before. His justice made her feel at ease.
Su Yicheng pinched her nose a little affectionately. He suddenly remembered that ye Ziwen had just told him on the phone that the apartment over there had already been tidied up, and even the furniture and electrical appliances had been purchased and installed. Now, they could move in at any time as long as they carried their bags, but since they had not come to help for a long time, he had to send someone to check on the situation over there at any time. This troublesome task had given ye Ziwen a headache, so he had been urging them for the past few days to say when they could help.
With that in mind, su Yicheng casually asked, ” &Quot; Anran, Ziwen said that the renovation for the apartment over there has been completed. When do you think we’re going to help? ”
After he said that, Anran remembered that he had asked her the same question when she met ye Ziwen the day before. Then, she remembered something else he had told her the day before. She withdrew from his arms and looked at him with a serious expression.
Su Yicheng looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she was suddenly looking at him like that. “What’s wrong?”
After looking at him for a while, Anran asked, ” “We met before our blind date, right?”
Su Yicheng was stunned. He didn’t quite understand why she asked this, but he still thought about it seriously and asked, ” “You mean you were forced to kiss me and I happened to pass by and saved you?”
“Who, who said that?” An ran pouted in dissatisfaction. “Have you seen me before?” he asked.
Su Yicheng looked at her and asked, ” “An ran, you want to be big?”
Anran looked down at her fingers and slowly said, ” “Ye Ziwen said that you guys were sitting behind me on the day of my blind date and witnessed the entire process.”
Su Yicheng chuckled. &Quot; is that important? ” he asked in return.
Anran shook her head. &Quot; sometimes, I think that if another woman had proposed to you directly that day, you might have agreed. In that case, you would have been another woman’s husband. &Quot; The thought of him being another woman’s husband made her feel uncomfortable. In fact, she had to admit that falling in love with him was too easy. He was too beautiful and too considerate. It was hard to reject such a man. She had clearly proposed to him in a carefree manner back then, but recently, she kept thinking from time to time that if he had not met her back then, and if another woman had taken the risk to propose to him, would he have agreed?
Su Yicheng stared at her for a long time before he shook his head lightly and said jokingly, ” “No, no one would be so bold as to propose marriage to someone they just met.”
“I’m saying if.” Anran glared at him. The point wasn’t whether anyone would do this, but whether he would agree to it!
Looking at her, su Yicheng smiled, shook his head, and said, ” &Quot; I won’t either. I only agreed because I knew it was you. &Quot; Now that he thought about it, perhaps it was because she knew it was her that she agreed without thinking. She was just afraid that if he didn’t agree, she would go find another man.
Hearing this, Anran looked at him, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. Whether it was true or not, these words were still very pleasant to her.
Su Yicheng smiled and patted her head. &Quot; alright, let’s eat first. After eating, you can go to bed immediately and make up for all the sleep you didn’t get last night. &Quot;
Anran smiled and looked at him. &Quot; then do you also want to sleep early with me? ” she asked.
Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and stared at her for a long time. He seemed to be struggling in his heart for a long time before he shook his head and said, ” “I’m afraid that if I stay with you, it won’t be as simple as just sleeping. By then, you’ll probably not only have to stay up late, but you’ll also be even more tired.”
Anran was stunned for a while before she understood what he meant. When she realized what he meant, her face turned red and she rolled her eyes at him. &Quot; pervert! &Quot; With that said, she got up and turned to head towards the kitchen. Her face was still burning hot, as if she could steam an egg if she beat it on it.
Su Yicheng, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa and laughing heartily, looking like he was in a good mood.
That day, Anran was discussing the progress of the project with Chen Gong, the architect, in the sample room. She also explained every detail on the design plan to him, trying to do her best.
At this time, Lin Li’s phone call came in. In the past two days, Anran had been rushing the progress of the project here, so she didn’t have time to visit Lin Li at the hospital. However, she still called Lin Li every day to ask about the situation. Hearing Lin Li’s laughter over the phone always made her feel at ease.
“Hello, Lin Li, what’s the matter?” Anran held her phone under her head while she used her hand to communicate with the architect on the design.
&Quot; Anzi, I’m calling you to tell you that I’m going back. Don’t miss me too much in the future. If you really miss me, come to my place to find me. &Quot; On the other end of the phone, Lin Li tried to make her tone as relaxed as possible.
Anran froze for a moment, then suddenly stood up and reached for her phone. She raised her voice slightly and asked, ” “What did you just say?” The architect beside her was shocked by her actions and looked at her strangely.
&Quot; hehe, I’m already at the bus stop. The bus is leaving at 3 o ‘clock. &Quot; Lin Li said with a faint smile. Because I was afraid of saying goodbye, I didn’t dare to tell you the time, so I only called you before I left.
Anran raised her hand to look at her watch. It was already 2:45. She threw away the pen in her hand and strode out of the sample room. As she ran, she said, ” “Where are you? Train station? Bus station?”
“An Zi, don’t come over. I don’t want to see you cry.” Lin Li said, her tone a little choked.
“Tell me where it is!” Anran shouted at her. She was really going crazy with anger. She actually, actually wanted to leave without telling her. She didn’t even let her go to see her off. What was this? what was this?!
She ran to the elevator, but it was still on the first floor. She pressed the button for a while, but it didn’t come up. She couldn’t care anymore and ran straight to the stairs. At this time, she seemed to have forgotten that she was on the 15th floor!
&Quot; Anzi, thank you for accompanying me all these years. From school to society, because of you, I wasn’t so lonely. In the past ten years, we learned and slowly grew up. You gave me so many beautiful memories. Even when the whole world left me, you were still by my side, encouraging me and comforting me. It was because of you that I truly understood the meaning of friendship. Maybe we’ll be in different cities in the future, and maybe we won’t be able to eat and see each other as often as we used to, but I don’t think our relationship will be estranged because of this. I think I’ll still harass you from time to time when I’m bored, and you’ll still be the first person I think of when I’m lonely or unhappy. Let me make this clear, no matter what you’re doing, you’re not allowed to ignore my call.” Lin Li deliberately tried to make herself sound relaxed, but Anran didn’t miss the faint sobbing that came from the other side of the phone.
“Lin Li, don’t f * cking talk nonsense with me. I’m telling you, you’re not allowed to leave! Don’t leave, you hear me!” An ran called out to her excitedly, tears falling uncontrollably from her face.
Lin Li seemed to be unable to hold back her tears. She was a little emotional and kept sobbing into the phone, ” an, an Zi, thank you, thank you for your company for the past ten years. I, I have to go. Forgive me for calling you at this moment because, because … &Quot; Lin Li seemed to be unable to control her emotions. After a while, she took a deep breath and continued, ” &Quot; I don’t want you to watch me leave. I won’t be able to bear to leave if you do. &Quot;
On the other side of the phone, Anran was also crying, and her tears were streaming down her face. She stood on the corridor of the stairs with the phone in her hand and leaned against the wall weakly. In the end, she half-squatted in the corner and said in a choked voice, ” “Then don’t leave, stay!”
On the other end of the phone, Lin Li took a deep breath and finally stopped her tears. He put on a smile and said into the phone, ” “Anran, goodbye!”
