Anran looked at him in a daze. After a long time, she asked, ” &Quot; how’s Ling LAN doing now? ” She didn’t expect so many things to happen that night.

&Quot; it’s nothing serious. The wound isn’t deep, just a few stitches. He’s staying in the hospital for observation now. I’ll call Mayor Ling to inform him. &Quot; Su Yicheng said lightly. She was a little tired. She leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes, feeling a little powerless.

Anran touched his face. Although she didn’t know what he was feeling right now, she could understand his helplessness at the moment. She said softly, ” “Go and take a shower.”

Su Yicheng opened his eyes, looked at her, and smiled at her. &Quot; I’m fine. &Quot;

Anran nodded. &Quot; I’m going to clean up the house. You go take a shower first. &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn’t refuse. He leaned over and pecked her on the lips. In fact, he was a little tired tonight as he walked toward the bathroom.

Anran cleaned up the broken pieces of porcelain on the floor and the cake on the coffee table. When she was done wiping everything, su Yicheng still hadn’t come out. She went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, which contained the cake that su Yicheng had bought. She glanced in the direction of the door and closed the door. He took out the noodles from the cupboard, washed the pot, poured some water, and turned on the gas.

In fact, the Gu family was a more traditional family. Their lifestyle was more Chinese. They used to celebrate their birthdays at home, but they rarely ate cake. No matter who celebrated their birthdays at home, Lin xiaofen would always prepare a bowl of longevity noodles. She would sprinkle a lot of eggs, minced meat, and add some rice wine that she brewed at home. The noodles smelled especially fragrant.

When su Yicheng came out, drying his hair with a dry towel, he happened to smell the faint scent of wine.

However, since they didn’t have any specially brewed rice wine at home, an ran added the cooking wine used for cooking this time. Although it didn’t smell as good as the rice wine, it didn’t taste as good. After putting the noodles aside, Anran took out a few eggs from the refrigerator and poured some oil into the pot. She scattered the eggs in the pot and turned off the fire before the egg liquid completely solidified. She cooked the eggs with the remaining heat. The eggs that were beaten this way were especially fresh and delicious.

After everything was done, Anran took out the pot and sprinkled the egg water on the noodles, letting the egg flower cover the entire surface. She placed the noodles on the bar counter and looked up to see su Yicheng standing in front of the bar.

She smiled at him and pointed at the noodles on the bar counter, ” “Come over quickly. You can skip the cake for your birthday, but you must eat noodles.”

Su Yicheng also smiled, went up to the bar counter, sat down, took the chopsticks from her hand, and took a bite of the egg. The egg was soaked in soup, and when put into his mouth, it had a faint aroma of wine. It seemed that he had never eaten birthday noodles on his birthday ever since he moved out of the house. Every year, his mother would call him to go home, but he was always delayed by this and that. He was either going to the grassroots or going to meetings, and by the time he came back, it was already too late. He was so tired that he didn’t want to move. He didn’t drive back to the quad. After a long time, his mother also knew the special nature of his work and didn’t say anything more. However, she would still call him every year to tell him that his birthday was coming soon.

“Is it good?” An ran looked at him with her big eyes, full of expectation.

Su Yicheng looked at her and nodded with a smile. He picked up a piece of egg and put it in front of her mouth, signaling her to open her mouth.

Anran smiled and swallowed it. She said, ” “In the past, my mother would always cook longevity noodles for my birthday at home. After a long time, I got used to this taste.” As she spoke, an ran seemed to have recalled something, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

“Then let’s go to mom and dad’s house one day. I’ll go find mom and secretly learn from her. Then, I’ll cook for you every year on your birthday.” Su Yicheng continued, his tone natural and without the slightest bit of embarrassment or discomfort.

Anran froze and looked at him. After a while, the smile on her face became even sweeter.

Su Yicheng looked at her and also smiled. He lowered his head and continued to eat his noodles. In fact, his stomach was full, and he had lost his appetite because of Ling Lan’s incident just now. However, this bowl of noodles, which couldn’t be considered delicious, was especially delicious to him. The faint aroma of wine flowed between his teeth, and he had the illusion that this was the best bowl of noodles he had ever eaten.

After eating the noodles, Anran stayed in the kitchen to clean up the dishes, while su Yicheng went straight into the study to sort out the documents that Ling LAN had interrupted earlier. When he rushed out of the study, Anran had already taken a shower and was sitting on the bed. She was holding a foreign architectural magazine in her hand and was seriously reading and learning about their extremely unique architectural styles.

Su Yicheng went to the other side of the bed, reached out, and let her lean on his shoulder. He held her and accompanied her to read the architectural magazine that he didn’t recognize.

An ran looked at it very seriously, and she seemed to be mumbling something. When he had sent Ling LAN to the hospital just now, he had seen her leaning into his embrace. He had seen her pale face as she slowly lost consciousness. As he watched, he actually couldn’t find a single bit of heartache in his heart. He only felt worried, worried for someone he knew.

After 7 years, he didn’t know why Ling LAN had suddenly returned. If he really wanted to redeem something, why would he wait for 7 years? Perhaps he really should talk to Zhou han.

In fact, no matter what the reason was, no matter when she came back, he didn’t care. You could say that he was cold-blooded or heartless, but back then, he had watched them cheat in front of him naked. It was impossible for him to forgive them as if nothing had happened and then be with her again. He didn’t think that he could be so generous.

In fact, she had to admit that he was a ruthless and decisive person. Once he let go, it was impossible to look back. In the past, he had automatically ignored and ignored the thousands of good things that he had thought of others. He had never liked to drag things out, in the past, and still.

“Yichen?”

Su Yicheng snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at Anran, who was in his arms and staring at him blankly.

“What are you thinking about?” Anran asked. She called him several times, but he didn’t come back to his senses.

Su Yicheng shook his head with a faint smile. &Quot; it’s nothing. Are you done looking? ”

Anran didn’t ask any more questions. She yawned delicately and only said, ” “I’m so tired, I have to get up early for work tomorrow.” As she spoke, she was about to drag her body down.

Su Yicheng lay down with her. Her head was resting on his hand, and he laid his other hand on her slender waist, allowing her to adjust her position to a comfortable one and lie in his arms.

He looked at her face. Her eyelashes were long and curled, and her eyes were slightly moved. He slowly closed his eyes and kissed the center of her hair. He matched her breathing and prepared to sleep with her.

Just as su Yicheng was about to fall asleep in a daze, he heard Anran say in a daze, ” “Happy Birthday, hubby.”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng’s tired and heavy eyes suddenly opened. He looked at the person in his arms, who had a faint smile on her face, and then laughed out loud. After laughing, he retracted his hand and pulled her closer to him.

When she woke up the next day, su Yicheng had already finished his morning exercise and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen as usual.

Anran lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Out of habit, she walked over to the wardrobe and opened it, only to find that her usual clothes for work had all been put into the duffel bag on the side of the wardrobe, and the clothes she was going to change into today had been taken out and placed on the bedside table.

Anran washed up, changed her clothes, and rushed out of the room. Su Yicheng had just picked up the poached egg from the pot and placed it on their plates. When he saw her coming out, he smiled and asked her to come over for breakfast.

While they were eating, su Yicheng told her to try her best not to work overtime tonight and that he would pick her up from work. They were going to move to their new house that night.

An ran had no opinion and nodded.

In fact, after two days of continuous discussion with engineer Chen, the two had basically reached a consensus. As long as they followed the drawing and implemented the original plan, they could ensure the quality of the implementation and make good use of time. Then, everything could be prepared in the scheduled time. In addition, the effect model had also been arranged to be produced by the factory, and the model was expected to be out tomorrow or the day after.

In the afternoon, Huang Dexing brought a girl with him and introduced her to everyone as a new colleague. She was about the same age as Ling Lin. When Ling Lin saw her, she seemed to be stunned and a little surprised, and her expression didn’t look good.

Huang Dexing gave a brief introduction, only saying that the girl’s name was Chen Cheng. She wasn’t very beautiful, but her eyes were particularly bright and full of life, adding light to her not-so-outstanding face, making it impossible to ignore her.

Huang Dexing continued, saying that Chen Cheng was a freshman who had just graduated from University last year. When she was in school, she had won many domestic awards. When she was in school, she was poached by a famous construction company in Shenzhen, but she gave up that opportunity for personal reasons. Now that she had joined ‘Jing Cheng,’ she would be the most powerful reserve force for ‘Jing Cheng’ in the future.

Anran wasn’t really interested in this kind of people, and she was even more skeptical about Huang Dexing’s words. After all, Ling Lin was the first example, so when Huang Dexing asked Huang Cheng to follow her, Anran didn’t have much hope for this girl’s abilities.

In the office, Anran handed her some of the past building records and documents of the company. She only said lightly, ” &Quot; you should familiarize yourself with some of the cases in the company over the next few days. I’ll let you get used to the smaller cases in a while. &Quot;

Chen Cheng reached out and took the documents from Anran’s hands. She smiled and said, ” “Actually, I don’t think it’s useful for me to look at the company’s past cases, because they’re all other people’s works, not my style.” As he spoke, his expression was filled with confidence.

Anran was a little surprised to hear her say that. She put down the document in her hand and looked up at her with an inquisitive look in her eyes.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Chen Cheng continued,”But I’ll still drive seriously because I want to find the shortcomings in it so that I can avoid the same type of case next time. If designer Gu doesn’t have anything else to say, I’ll take my leave!”

Anran only nodded and said indifferently, ” “You may leave.”

When su Yicheng got off work in the evening, he showed up at the company’s lobby on time and happened to meet Huang Dexing, who had just come out of the building with him. The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and Huang Dexing still enthusiastically invited him to a date. Su Yicheng only smiled and said that he had been busy recently and would see him again in a while. Then, he said that he had something to do that night and left with Anran in the car.

Sitting in the car, Anran watched Huang Dexing’s face slowly shrink in the rearview mirror until it was only a dot in the end. She said with a little emotion, ” “Director Huang, you’re so patient.”

Su Yicheng only smiled faintly. In fact, in his current position, he had seen too many people like this. Almost all of them wanted to pull some connections, and it was not strange for them to pester him even more.

They didn’t go home right away. Instead, they went to a Western restaurant with a good environment. Before celebrating their move, they prepared to have dinner there.

The business here seemed to be very good. After sitting down for a long time, the waiter only brought them two menus when they just sat down. After that, no waiter came to order for them for a long time. Fortunately, the environment here was better. There was a piano in the hall, but there seemed to be no loudspeaker prepared. The background music of the restaurant was all played by the piano, and it had a different charm and artistic conception.

“May I ask if the two of you can order now?” A waitress walked towards them. She seemed to have run over and was panting.

Anran was just about to open her mouth to order, but when she raised her head, she couldn’t help but freeze. The waiter was none other than Chen Cheng, who Huang Dexing had introduced to her that afternoon.

Chen Cheng couldn’t help but be surprised. She was also a little surprised to meet an ran here. However, he quickly regained his composure and smiled at them professionally. &Quot; “What do you two need?”

Anran also came back to her senses, nodded, and ordered a vegetable salad and spaghetti for herself. Su Yicheng, on the other hand, ordered a serving of seafood risotto and thick soup.

After Chen Cheng left, su Yicheng looked at her and asked Anran lightly, ” do you know each other? ” From their expressions, it was obvious that they knew each other.

&Quot; she’s an intern who just arrived at our company. She’s with me now, but I’m not sure why she’s here. The company has rules that she’s not allowed to go out for part-time jobs. &Quot; An ran said doubtfully.

Su Yicheng nodded slightly and didn’t ask anything.

The dishes were served quickly, but Chen Cheng didn’t come up to greet them.

By the time the two of them came out of the restaurant, it was almost eight O ‘clock. Su Yicheng said that he had already packed all the things that could be packed, so they only needed to carry their bags and directly move in at night.

Anran didn’t have any objections. She nodded and went back to the apartment with him.

It was really convenient. They only had two bags of clothes and things, but there were a lot of books and documents. However, su Yicheng said that there was no hurry and that they only needed to take away the important things that were in urgent need at the moment. As for the books and magazines, they could come back and pack them up when they had time. After all, the house was only empty and not for sale.

In fact, the distance between the new house and the apartment wasn’t too far. It was a 15-minute drive. Of course, this was only calculated by car. If it was a distance, it was still a little far. However, the new house was in the same area as Jing Cheng’s, and it was only a five-minute walk from Anran’s company.

Anran was carrying their clothes, while su Yicheng was carrying a large box containing the documents and information that he and Anran needed.

It was also on the 10th floor, but compared to the two apartments over there, this one had one unit on each floor.

An ran opened the door and went in. The lights weren’t turned on, so the room was dark. It was different from what she had imagined. Although it was a new house, an ran didn’t smell any paint at all. On the contrary, there was a faint fragrance. As they stepped in, the lights at the entrance were voice-controlled, and the lights were turned on as soon as they stepped in. It was dim, but it gave off a warm feeling, but it was not glaring. In the dark, an ran could vaguely see the layout of the entire house. The living room was right at the entrance. Compared to the last time she came, the sofa, TV, and other furniture were all prepared. Su Yicheng put down the box in his hand and reached out to turn on the switch attached to the wall. It seemed to be the main switch, and as soon as he pressed it, all the lights in the living room, kitchen, and other places were turned on, illuminating the whole house.

In fact, it was still the same layout as last time, but everything was already prepared. The beige sofa and the curtains on the balcony were also beige, but they had a light yellow gauze curtain with hand-made flowers embroidered on it. The workmanship was very exquisite, and the beautiful tassels wrapped the curtains. Through the gauze curtain, Anran could see the lounge chair and small coffee table on the balcony. She put down the things in her hands, and Anran was a little attracted by the balcony. She walked over, pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window, and went out. The balcony seemed to be much larger than she had imagined. Not only did it have a recliner and a coffee table, but there was also a hanging swing on the other side of the curtain. There was a special planting trough around the balcony fence, in which there were many flowers and plants that an ran didn’t know the name of.

“Oh my God, it’s so beautiful.” An ran exclaimed from the bottom of her heart. She liked the design. It was very beautiful and idyllic.

Behind her, su Yicheng rushed to hug her from behind, his arms wrapped around her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder, and he gently asked in her ear, ” do you like it? ”

Anran nodded repeatedly. &Quot; yes, yes. &Quot; She could already imagine how comfortable it would be for her to enjoy the afternoon breeze and sunlight while reading a book and pouring herself a cup of sweet marchiato on a holiday afternoon.

“In the future, we can sit here and have tea and chat when we have free time.” Su Yicheng held her and gently shook their bodies, his voice light and distant.

She slowly placed her hand on his large palm that was wrapped around her lower abdomen and nodded lightly. &Quot; yes. &Quot; An ran smiled. She was satisfied and happy.

The two of them stood on the balcony for a while before returning to the house. The bar counter was designed to connect the living room and the kitchen. Compared to the last time, there was only a rough outline. This time, the bar chair, the lamp hanging from the bar counter, and the wine cabinet filled with all kinds of wine in the kitchen really did have the atmosphere and taste of a small bar at first glance.

Su Yicheng let go of her and asked,”do you want to drink?”

&Quot; what? ” Anran raised her eyebrows and asked, ” is it to celebrate our moving? ”

Su Yicheng nodded his head. &Quot; are you satisfied with your new home? ”

“I like it very much.” An ran replied with a smile. She sat down on the high chair in front of the bar counter, rested her chin on her hands, and asked with a smile, ” “Do you have any nice-looking and tasty cocktails?”

Su Yicheng furrowed his brows in frustration and spread his hands helplessly. &Quot; there’s only good red wine here. &Quot;

Anran thought for a moment. &Quot; okay, I’ll take the red wine. &Quot; But if it doesn’t taste good, I won’t pay.”

“I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.” Su Yicheng turned around and took out a bottle of 1986 dry red wine from the wine cabinet. He placed the wine glass in front of her, opened the bottle, and slightly sobered her up. Then, he poured the wine for the two of them, swirled the wine in the glass, and gently put it to his nose to smell the wine. After a while, he lifted his glass and took a sip. Then, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste of the wine in his mouth.

An ran wasn’t particular about the wine. Even if she followed his movements, she couldn’t taste the good or bad taste of the wine at all.

He looked at him with a slightly distressed expression and said, ” “It’s not good.”

Su Yicheng smiled, walked out from behind the bar, stood in front of her, raised his head, and took a sip of the wine in his glass, then looked at her with a smile.

Anran didn’t know what he was doing and looked at him in confusion. &Quot; w-what are you doing? ”

Su Yicheng was still smiling, then he leaned over and covered her lips with his. He passed the wine in his mouth into her mouth and kissed her.

Anran’s eyes widened, and she didn’t know how to react for a moment. By the time he realized what was going on, her entire face was red. She wanted to push him away, but he held her tightly, and she couldn’t use any strength. The wine in her mouth flowed down her throat. She had never tried to drink like this, and she couldn’t describe what it felt like.

Su Yicheng kissed her for a while before letting her go. Anran didn’t seem to have swallowed all the red wine. When su Yicheng let go of her, the wine in his mouth slid down the corner of her mouth. This situation was so enchanting that it was somewhat bewitching.

Su Yicheng couldn’t help but lean forward and kiss away the wine stain on the corner of her mouth, then pressed his lips against hers and asked, ” “Does it taste better?” The voice was suppressed to the point of hoarseness, and in this ambiguous atmosphere, it was slightly provocative.

Anran seemed to be frightened by him, and she didn’t react for a long time. Finally, she swallowed her saliva, pushed him away, and asked, ” “You, is this how you teach others how to taste wine?”

Su Yicheng smiled and nodded. His hand gently caressed her red and slightly hot face, and he said in a low voice, ” “Only to you.” His voice was hoarse and magnetic, charming and enchanting.

Anran looked at him fixedly and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. In addition to her saliva, there was also a faint smell of red wine.

The red light from the chandelier under the bar shone on her face, giving her a misty glow. The atmosphere suddenly rose, and the two of them were tightly surrounded by an ambiguous atmosphere.

Su Yicheng held her face and kissed every corner of her face-her eyes, her eyebrows, her nose, and finally her lips. His enthusiasm came very quickly. Before an ran could react, he had already aroused the desire hidden in the deepest part of her heart.

An ran didn’t know how she had been carried into the room. She didn’t even have time to see this new room last night. When he woke up again, it was already morning. The two of them seemed to have been a little crazy last night, so it was already eight O ‘clock in the morning, but su Yicheng didn’t go for his morning exercise. Instead, he was still sleeping lightly in the big bed in the bridal chamber with Anran in his arms.

Suddenly, the phone on the bed rang, waking up the two people who were hugging each other.

The sudden ringing of the phone made an ran jump, and she sat up on the bed reflexively. Su Yicheng sat up next to her, gently hugged her, and said, ” “It’s fine, it’s a phone call.”

He reached for the phone on the bedside table and picked it up. Before he could speak, Qin Yun asked in a loud voice, ” “Ah Zhen, are you and an ran not at home? I’ve been ringing the doorbell for a long time, but none of you have come out.”
