Marriage First, True Love Later

Lin Anjie was a little surprised to see Gu Anran in the hospital.

In fact, after seeing Gu Anran, he had seen a few other girls. They were all younger than Gu Anran, and some were prettier than her. There were also some who were not prettier than her. Those who were younger and prettier than Gu Anran didn’t have a good job. They were just small employees in the company and had a foreign household register. They had better and more stable jobs than Gu Anran, but they weren’t as beautiful as Gu Anran. In any case, after a few visits, they didn’t see anyone suitable. After all, Gu Anran’s overall conditions were more advantageous.

She didn’t expect that the two would meet here. Her family had been urging her to get married recently. Perhaps Gu Anran could really be considered a marriage partner. Although she was a little old-fashioned and a little old, she had a decent job and was quite beautiful.

Anran was also a little surprised to meet Lin Anjie here, but she didn’t have a good impression of him because of the unpleasant things that happened before. She only nodded at him indifferently.

After making up his mind, Lin Anjie walked over to her and said, ” “What a coincidence, you’re here to see someone?”

Anran didn’t want to talk much with him, so she said with an excuse, ” “I’m sorry, I still have something to do. I’ll be leaving first.”

“Hey, Anran, wait a minute.” Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Anjie quickly called out.

“Is there anything else?” Anran said impatiently. Her tone was cold, and her expression was distant. Anyone with eyes could see the displeasure on her face at the moment.

However, Lin Anjie wasn’t an ordinary person. He was a bit of a top-grade person, and even a little narcissistic. He felt very good about himself.

He smiled at Anran and said, ” I think everyone misunderstood what I said before. I was too impulsive last time. Don’t take it to heart. &Quot;

Hearing this, Anran looked at him indifferently and said without any expression, ” “I don’t remember the past anymore.” If he had not stopped her today, she would not have recognized him at all. Some things were meaningless, so she did not waste her energy to remember them.

However, her answer obviously made Lin Anjie misunderstand. He thought that she still had feelings for him, so he quickly smiled and said, ” &Quot; you don’t have a partner yet, right? actually, I’ve seen a few recently, but they’re not very good. I think we can try to get along. &Quot;

Anran was stunned for a moment before she understood the meaning behind his words. This man was too funny. How could he be so confident that other people would still accept him after what had happened before?

“I’m sorry, I’m already married. I think you’ve got the wrong person.” An ran glanced at him and turned around to leave.

Lin Anran was stunned. She looked at her empty hand and smiled. &Quot; I know that you’re in a hurry to get married at this age. This isn’t a problem. I don’t mind us dating with marriage in mind. &Quot;

With her back to him, Anran rolled her eyes weakly. This man thought too highly of her.

Seeing that she was silent, Lin Anjie thought that he had hit the nail on the head again and continued, ” &Quot; although you have a good job and you’re pretty, you’re a little old. Maybe you can find a better man a few years younger, but you’re almost 30 now. Women age faster than men, and men are more attractive the older they get. So, those rich people like to find young and pretty women. It’s too awkward for someone your age. &Quot; As she spoke, she walked over to him. &Quot; although my conditions aren’t very good, having a house and a car isn’t too bad in Jiangcheng. I don’t mind that you’re a little older because I pay attention to the inner qualities. After a few years or decades, aren’t you still the same? ” If you want to get married as soon as possible, that’s not a problem. We went on blind dates with the intention of getting married anyway, so it’ll be the same sooner or later, don’t you think?”

Anran was a little defeated by his strong self-confidence. &Quot; I’m sorry, Mr. Lin. Didn’t you hear me say that I’m married? ”

“You’re not wearing a wedding ring.” Lin Anjie said as he looked at her firmly. He was sure that she was not married yet.

Anran froze and looked down at her hand. There was indeed no wedding ring on her hand. Because they had gotten married in a hurry, she and su Yicheng had not prepared any wedding rings at all. As time passed, they had forgotten about it and had never thought of buying a wedding ring to wear.

“But she has a husband.” Just as an ran was in a daze, a deep and magnetic male voice suddenly came from behind her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Anjie raised his head and saw su Yicheng coming from behind Anran. Anran naturally put her arm around her shoulder, looked at him indifferently, and then lowered her head to look at Anran gently.”Why are you at the hospital?”

Anran looked at him in a daze. She was surprised that he would appear at this time. &Quot; why are you here? ”

&Quot; Secretary Zhang hasn’t been feeling well recently. He’s in this hospital, so I took the opportunity to visit him at noon. &Quot; Su Yicheng said lightly as he reached out to smooth her slightly messy hair.

On the other hand, Lin Anjie was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. He stared at su Yicheng. He recognized su Yicheng because su Yicheng would occasionally go to the authorities to investigate, and Lin Anjie had even received him before! However, he had never expected that he would be Gu Anran’s husband!

Lin Anjie took a while to come back to his senses. He looked at su Yicheng and smiled awkwardly. &Quot; special, Special Assistant su … &Quot;

Su Yicheng glanced at him indifferently and didn’t say anything. Secretary Zheng, who was next to him, had already come up. He looked at Lin Anjie with a sneer and kindly reminded him, ” “You should be calling him Deputy Mayor Su now.”

Lin Anjie’s heart turned cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched. His smile was uglier than crying.

Su Yicheng didn’t even look at him, nor did he have time to pay attention to him. He looked at Anran and asked, ” “Why did you come to the hospital? Are you not feeling well?”

Anran shook her head. &Quot; it’s mom, ” she said. &Quot; she suddenly fainted while working. &Quot;

Hearing this, su Yicheng frowned and asked, ” “How’s mom?”

Anran smiled at him. &Quot; the doctor said that she’s just tired and nothing serious. But for safety reasons, she asked mom to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation and a full-body checkup. &Quot;

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng’s brows relaxed and he said, ” I’ll accompany you upstairs to see mom. &Quot;

“I want to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities for mom.” The most basic things like a towel, a basin, and so on were all needed.

Su Yicheng nodded and said,”I’ll go with you.” &Nbsp; Then, he turned around and instructed Secretary Zheng, ” &Quot; if there’s anything, call me. I won’t be going to the office in the afternoon. Also, pay attention to the bidding office and inform them that we’ll have a team meeting at 10 am tomorrow. &Quot;

Secretary Zheng nodded and replied seriously, ” “Alright, I got it.”

Su Yicheng glanced at him and didn’t say anything else. He turned around, took Anran’s hand, and walked toward the supermarket outside the hospital.

When the two of them returned to the ward from the supermarket, Gu Hengwen was sitting in front of the bed and talking to Lin xiaofen. When he saw them come in, he quickly stopped, as if he was afraid that Anran would hear him.

When they saw su Yicheng, who was next to Anran, both of them were stunned. Lin xiaofen looked at Anran with some blame and said, ” “Why did you call ah Luo over? I’m fine. Ah Luo is so busy with work, it’s not good to leave like this.”

Yes, Anran, we can’t delay Yicheng’s work. &Quot; Father Gu said the same thing. Ever since the last time the two families had a meal together, they found out that su Yicheng wasn’t working in a foreign trade company at all, but was a young leader in the municipal Party Committee, so he could be considered a high-ranking official. This realization stunned them for a while. They had never thought that their son-in-law would be so good or have such a high status. As long as he was with Anran and Ah Hong, it would be fine. However, they didn’t expect that he would inadvertently become relatives with these powerful people. This feeling was a bit ethereal and unreal.

But fortunately, su Yicheng was nothing special except for his special job. He wasn’t a dandy like the other children of high-ranking officials, and he treated Anran and them well, so they were relieved.

Anran glanced at su Yicheng with a smug expression on her face, as if she was saying, ” see, I knew it. &Quot;

In fact, on the way back, Anran had made a bet with him that Lin xiaofen would definitely be unhappy if she saw him. Su Yicheng didn’t believe her and opposed it, saying that Lin xiaofen would definitely be grinning from ear to ear if she saw him.

&Quot; dad, mom, it’s not Anran’s fault. I happened to come to the hospital to see a leader, and I ran into Anran in the hospital lobby. &Quot; Su Yicheng put down the things in his hands in the ward, then walked over to Lin xiaofen and said, ” mom, even if I didn’t meet Anran here today, you and dad can’t say that you wanted to hide it from me. After all, I’m also half of your child. How could you hide your physical discomfort from me? ”

Lin xiaofen sighed and said, ” your job is special. Besides, I’m fine. It wouldn’t be good if your work is delayed because of me. You’re serving the people, so of course, everyone’s interests are more important. &Quot;

Su Yicheng chuckled, then stepped forward and reached out to hold Lin xiaofen’s hand. He looked at her with a serious expression and said, ” &Quot; mom, I’m a public servant, but I’m also Anran’s husband and father’s son-in-law. The ancients say that a son-in-law is half a son, but I don’t just see you and father as half my parents. You and father are just like my parents to me. Only when I know that you and father are in good health can I work better outside for everyone’s benefit. You are my strong backing. &Quot;

Hearing this, Lin xiaofen stared at him. She was so touched by his words that she almost cried. She suddenly felt that the heavens had treated her and an ran well and had given them such good men.

“Sigh, I’m afraid I’ll cause you trouble.” Lin xiaofen said as she patted his hand.

Su Yicheng smiled faintly and only said, ” what kind of children would think that their parents are troublesome? ”

Hearing this, Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen looked at each other and then smiled in relief.

In the afternoon, su Yicheng called the hospital’s director and asked him to arrange for the best doctor to give Lin xiaofen the most comprehensive examination. In the end, the hospital confirmed that all the tests would start tomorrow, and they arranged for the best doctors and nurses in the hospital.

Anran and su Yicheng stayed in the hospital until night fell. Anran originally wanted to stay for the night, but Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen both refused. They said that they had to go to work the next day, so they wanted them to go home early and rest. Anran had no choice but to leave with su Yicheng. Before she left, she kept reminding Lin xiaofen to pay more attention and rest, and that if anything happened to Gu Hengwen, she had to call her immediately.

Neither of them drove. It was still quite early, not even seven O ‘clock. The sun had just started to set, and the sky was not completely dark.

They didn’t call for a taxi immediately. The two of them held hands and walked slowly down the street in front of the hospital. Anran turned to look at him and suddenly chuckled.

Su Yicheng turned to look at her and asked in amusement, ” what’s the matter? why are you so happy? ”

Anran smiled, and the smile on her face became even happier. She looked straight ahead and didn’t say anything.

“What?” Su Yicheng deliberately scratched her palm with his hand and looked at her intently, as if he was determined to get an answer from her.

Anran stopped in her tracks and looked at him with a smile. &Quot; I find that you’re really suitable to be a leader. You always know how to make your words sound beautiful and how to touch the strings in other people’s hearts. &Quot; They were not sweet words, but the more ordinary they were, the more touching they were, and the more irresistible they were.

Su Yicheng pinched her nose, held her hand, and continued to walk forward as he said, ” “I’m telling the truth, and the truth is always the most pleasant to hear.”

Anran pursed her lips. &Quot; you’re a smart person. You’ve already seen through everyone. You don’t even need to think before you say what people say. &Quot;

Su Yicheng laughed out loud but didn’t deny it. Just as Anran had said, he had already seen through people and knew what kind of person they were. However, there weren’t many people who were worthy of his praise. He didn’t need to please others, but he wanted to please her and her parents.

Su Yicheng didn’t delve any further into this question and changed the subject. &Quot; how are things at the company going? are they very difficult to deal with? ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Anran’s lips slowly disappeared, and she fell silent.

Su Yicheng turned his head to look at her. Naturally, he could tell that she was acting strange, so he simply said, ” are you willing to tell me? although I might not be able to help you, at least I’m a good listener. &Quot;

Anran raised her head and looked at him with a faint bitter smile on her lips. After a while, she said, ” “The case of the mobile Manor has been screwed up.”

Su Yicheng was stunned. He had heard her mention this project before, and it was the case that she had been busy with recently.

&Quot; the template room suddenly collapsed, and even the design plan disappeared. Even the assistant who had just interned with me suddenly disappeared. &Quot; Anran continued, ” I suddenly feel so powerless. &Quot; She stopped in her tracks and looked at him, asking, ” &Quot; Yicheng, don’t you think I’m such a failure? besides Lin Li, I don’t seem to be able to find another friend. My relationship with others seems to be really bad. &Quot;

Su Yicheng smiled, reached out, and touched her head, saying, ” &Quot; they have no foresight. Of course, not everyone can have such a unique vision like me. &Quot;

“Pfft-pfft-pfft!” Anran was amused by his narcissism and asked him, ” Mr. Su, are you complimenting me or yourself? ”

“Of course I’m praising my own unique vision!” Su Yicheng said matter-of-factly. His serious look made an ran laugh. She no longer looked depressed and lifeless. Su Yicheng looked at Anran, who was smiling so happily. He liked this side of her. The big smile on her face was very beautiful, and she looked even more beautiful when she smiled than when she wasn’t smiling. She was suited to smile, but melancholy and unhappiness didn’t suit her face.

After laughing, Anran’s mood seemed to be much better than before. She looked straight ahead and said as she walked, ” &Quot; Huang Dexing asked me to find you and get the project in the technology City from you. It can be considered as atonement and atonement for my sins. &Quot;

Su Yicheng understood, which was why she had said that when he called her in the morning.

Anran continued, ” don’t you think it’s funny? regarding the theft and the collapse, the company didn’t respond at all. They didn’t call the police, and they didn’t even say they were going to investigate. It seems like they weren’t surprised at all by this incident, and they were prepared for it. &Quot; Now that he thought about it, Huang Dexing’s reaction was too calm, so calm that it was somewhat inconceivable.

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just listened. He didn’t give any advice, but the strength he used to hold her hand gradually increased, as if he was giving her strength.

&Quot; I’m not smart, but I’m not stupid either. I didn’t say that I didn’t fight because I didn’t want to, but it seems like I’m being played like a fool. &Quot; An ran said in a self-deprecating manner.

Suddenly, su Yicheng stopped in his tracks, turned around, and reached out to turn her around. He looked at her and said, ” “Anran, do you want to come back and let me take care of you?”

Anran also looked back at him. She understood what he meant, but after all, she had been in ” Jingcheng ” for almost seven years. She had been here ever since she left school. No matter how bad it was, after a long time, she had developed feelings for it. If he really wanted to leave, she couldn’t make up her mind.

Su Yicheng didn’t force her to make an immediate decision. He reached out to touch her face and held her hand again. &Quot; let’s go, I’ll take you to a place. &Quot; Without waiting for an ran’s reply, he took her hand and walked toward the busy city.

“Where to?” An ran asked in confusion.

Su Yicheng didn’t turn around and said with a faint smile, ” “You’ll know when we get there.”

The night market had already begun, and there were many people on the streets. Su Yicheng held her hand as they weaved through the crowd.

Anran looked at the side of his face. His side profile seemed even more beautiful than when she looked at him directly. His strong outline and deep eyebrows were very charming no matter how she looked at him. Actually, she didn’t want to think about anything. It felt good to be held by him like this, as if they were lovers who had been in love for many years. His hand was so big that he could completely wrap her hand in one palm. It was a wonderful feeling.

While Anran was still lost in her own emotions, su Yicheng had already stopped in his tracks. Anran wasn’t paying attention and almost bumped into him. Fortunately, su Yicheng was quick to react and caught her. He teased her with a smile and said, ” “Why are you still acting like a child? don’t you look at where you’re walking?”

Anran stuck out her tongue and asked, ” have we arrived? ” As she asked, she looked up and saw that the two of them had stopped in front of a jewelry store. She turned to him in confusion. &Quot; why did you bring me here? ”

Su Yicheng raised her hand, looked at her empty fingers, and said, ” “I think I should buy a ring to tie you up, and at the same time warn other men that you’re already taken, so they shouldn’t have any ideas about you.”

Anran was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was talking about. She remembered that the two of them had met Lin Anjie in the hospital in the afternoon. &Quot; can I interpret your emotions as jealousy? ”

Su Yicheng nodded noncommittally and said, ” of course! &Quot;

Anran laughed at his seriousness and pulled his hand over. She looked at his empty ring finger and said, ” “Then, do you think I should buy a ring and put it on you? otherwise, I’m afraid that someone will covet my dearest husband.”

“I’m honored.” Su Yicheng smiled and looked straight into her eyes with a gentle expression.

The two of them walked into the jewelry store with their fingers interlocked. There were many rings inside, including pure gold, diamonds, gemstones, and all kinds of rings. The styles were also very complete, but in the end, the two of them only chose a very ordinary pair of platinum rings. They looked very simple and did not have any fancy tricks, but both of them liked them very much.

Everything went smoothly, except that it was a little dramatic when it was time to pay.

“Let’s do it separately, we have to pay separately.” Seeing that the waiter was about to wrap up the ring, Anran said this.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her with amusement.

“Uh,” The shop assistant was taken aback by an ran’s request. He laughed awkwardly and said, ” &Quot; I’m sorry, miss. This is a pair of rings. They’ve always been sold together. There’s no precedent of them being sold separately. &Quot;

Anran frowned, took a step back, and compromised. &Quot; then swipe your card twice. &Quot;

The waiter’s mouth twitched. Swiping his card twice to buy an item was like taking off his pants and farting. It was unnecessary!

&Quot; Anran, don’t make things difficult for him. I’ll pay first, and you can give me the money when we get home, okay? ” Su Yicheng said.

Anran looked at him and refused sternly. &Quot; no, when we get home, you’ll definitely say that we’re husband and wife and that we don’t distinguish between us. What’s Yours Is Mine. I can’t argue with you. Anyway, I have to pay for your ring today. Otherwise, if you pay for the ring yourself, how can I use the ring to trap you? ”

Su Yicheng laughed and reached out to touch her head, then turned to the waiter and said, ” “My wife insists, so I can only trouble you.”

The customer was so insistent. After all, they were open for business and they still had to sell things. The waiter smiled and nodded at them professionally. &Quot; it’s no trouble at all. &Quot; As he spoke, he took out two paper bags from under the counter, put the two ring boxes into the paper bags, and then pushed the bags in front of them.

Anran readily took out her card from her bag and swiped it to pay the bill. Su Yicheng chuckled and shook his head, then also swiped his card to pay.

Anran took out the box from the small paper bag, opened it, and took out the ring inside. In front of everyone in the store, her face blushed slightly. She took his hand and gently put the ring on him. From then on, this man’s life would be sealed. This moment seemed very sacred. Although an ran’s expression was shy, she was very pious.

After putting the ring on him, Anran raised her head to look at him. Her face was red as she said, ” are you going to put it on for me? ”

“I’d be very happy to.” Su Yicheng smiled, took out the ring, and slowly put it on her ring finger. It was a very simple action, but he did it very lightly and slowly. It was enough to show how important he was to this moment.

Just as Anran was staring at the ring that had suddenly appeared on her hand and was a little dazed, the originally quiet store suddenly burst into a round of applause, and some people even began to cheer.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

The whole shop was bustling with noise and applause, even attracting a lot of passers-by who didn’t know the truth.

Anran’s entire face was red, and she buried her head in su Yicheng’s arms in embarrassment.

After all, he was a person who had seen big scenes, so he couldn’t help but smile at such a scene. He didn’t feel uncomfortable or awkward at all. He raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, then lifted Anran’s head from his arms, looked at her, and said, ” “Although I’m not used to doing too many intimate actions in front of so many people, I really want to kiss you at this moment.” After he finished speaking, he didn’t give Anran a chance to refute or refuse. He lifted her chin, lowered his head, and covered her red lips with his.

Then, the stadium once again burst into warm applause and cheers. Everyone had witnessed this moment for them!
