Marriage First, True Love Later

Chapter 85



In the kitchen, an ran made a cup of coffee and poured a lot of sugar out of habit. She walked toward the study with a cup of coffee in her hand. When she pushed the door open and entered, su Yicheng was sitting behind the mahogany desk, carefully reading the documents in his hand.

Knock, knock, knock. &Quot; An ran gently knocked on the door.

Su Yicheng raised his head. With his gold-rimmed glasses, he looked more scholarly than usual, but the smile on his face was still gentle. “Come in,” he said with a chuckle.

Anran walked in with a smile and handed him the coffee in her hand. &Quot; you’ve been looking at it for a long time. Have a cup of coffee first. &Quot; He seemed to be a little busy at night. After a shower and a simple dinner, he went straight into the study.

Su Yicheng reached out to take the cup of coffee from her, then picked it up and took a sip. It was just as he had expected-bitter and sweet. He really couldn’t tell what the coffee tasted like, but he still took a big sip out of respect, then put the cup down and picked up the documents on the table.

Anran looked at the documents on his desk. They were all official documents, with opinions, suggestions, and decisions. Looking at the dense words, she couldn’t help but feel a headache.

“Is your work very difficult?” She didn’t know if there was something wrong with his work, but he gave her an indescribable feeling tonight.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng looked up at her and raised his eyebrows, as if he was asking her why she thought so.

Anran seemed to understand the doubt in his eyes. She looked at him, pointed at her face, and said half-jokingly, ” “It’s all written here. Tell others that you’re not happy.”

Su Yicheng chuckled and reached out to her, saying, ” “Come here.”

Anran didn’t know what he was going to do, but she obediently walked around the desk and walked toward him. She reached out her hand and landed on his big palm.

Holding her hand, su Yicheng turned her around and made her fall on his lap. He wrapped his hand around her stomach and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Do you want to know?” he asked indifferently.

Anran nodded and turned to look at him. &Quot; “Maybe I don’t know much, but I still hope to share your burden.”

Su Yicheng looked at her, straight into her eyes, then stepped forward slightly and gently pecked her lips. Anran, can you tell me the truth? ” he asked seriously.

“What?” Anran looked at him in confusion. She didn’t quite understand what he meant.

Su Yicheng chuckled and said, ” the memory that was supposed to continue tonight has been moved to tomorrow morning for some reason. &Quot; On the way back from work, I encountered a storm. I thought you might be trapped in the company because of the rain, so I turned the car around and went to your company.”

Anran froze and looked at him, feeling a little embarrassed. She had lied just now because she didn’t want him to think too much about it. Although she knew he wouldn’t, talking about her ex-boyfriend in front of her husband was strange no matter how she thought about it, so she wanted to avoid the topic and tell a small lie. She didn’t expect him to misunderstand even more. “You’ve seen it.”

Su Yicheng looked at her, but he didn’t nod or shake his head. He only said, ” “I just want to hear you tell me the truth in person.”

“I didn’t go to the supermarket. When you called, mo Fei and I were at a cafe. We ran into each other after work, but I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t know if you would mind.” Anran looked at him and said honestly.

Su Yicheng looked at her and reached out to comb her long hair. He liked it when her long hair fell over her shoulders, but she always tied her hair behind her head because of work, which always made him want to reach out and take off the rubber band on her head.

“I saw you leaving in mo Fei’s car when I arrived,” he said calmly.

Hearing this, an ran was a little apologetic and said softly, ” “I’m sorry,” she said. The rain was heavy at that time, and she was also a little annoyed by the glass of water. Although her eyes were looking outside, she did not notice that he had driven over.

Su Yicheng shook his head and sat down with her in his arms. His fingers played with her fingers, and his chin was still resting on her shoulder. &Quot; I don’t blame you, but I’m a little unhappy that you’re deliberately hiding it from me. I know that we’ve progressed too quickly. From the time we met until now, we haven’t had enough time to get to know each other better, so we can only rely on the bits and pieces of our lives. That’s why we need to be honest with each other. &Quot;

As he spoke, su Yicheng reached out and turned her around. He looked straight into her eyes and said seriously, ” &Quot; Anran, if you were honest with me, I might have minded a little at the time, because I have to admit that no man would completely not mind his wife meeting her first love and ex-boyfriend alone. You can say that he’s petty, and it’s also normal for him to be jealous of everything, because every husband cares about his wife. “However, you chose to hide it from me because you were afraid that I would mind. If that happened, I would be unhappy and would let my thoughts run wild. I would mind even longer because of this. By then, it wouldn’t be because I would mind who you were going out with, but because I would mind if you lied to me, even if the lie was white and you wanted to avoid my meaningless emotions.”

Anran looked straight into his eyes and listened attentively to him confessing to her what he was thinking.

Seeing that she was silent, su Yicheng asked seriously, ” Anran, do you understand what I’m saying? ”

Anran looked at him, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She deliberately said, ” “I understand, but I also don’t.”

Su Yicheng looked at her, smiled, and said, ” “I’m saying that men are very petty and their hearts are very complicated, but you have to allow them to be willful and awkward occasionally. After being willful, they will still be very rational. Isn’t it easier to understand this way?”

Anran smiled and sat on his lap. She raised her hands and wrapped them around his neck. She nodded seriously and said, ” “Yes, I understand more than before.” He was saying that even though he would mind if she told him that she was having coffee with mo Fei, he was more concerned about her hiding it from him. This was what he meant by a man’s stubbornness and awkwardness.

Su Yicheng pinched her nose in amusement, then bent over and asked her on the lips, ” Anran didn’t refuse. She just smiled and opened her mouth to greet him.

Her response made su Yicheng a little excited. He held her head and deepened the kiss between the two.

By the time su Yicheng let go of Anran, both of them were already panting. Anran was sitting in his arms, and her breathing was a little rapid and unstable. Su Yicheng, who was holding her, was not in a good state either, and his chest was also heaving up and down.

The two of them hugged for a long time. As they leaned against his chest, Anran could hear his heartbeat slowly calming down. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his thin waist even tighter.”Do you want to hear about my past with mo Fei?”

The big hand that was caressing an ran’s back stopped in mid-air and only slowly fell back down after a while. The magnetic voice came from above an ran’s head. &Quot; are you willing to tell me? ”

Anran nodded gently in his arms. &Quot; yes, we went to the coffee shop near the University again today. It turns out that I still feel that I still care about it and can’t let it go. &Quot; As she spoke, Anran shook her head and chuckled as she continued to hide. &Quot; “I only found out today that it’s all in the past. I followed him back to the coffee shop that we used to frequent and sat in the same seat that we used to sit in. We ordered the coffee and milk tea that we used to drink outside and ate the familiar cake. “But as time passed, the sweet and happy feeling from back then was no longer there. It had become completely unfamiliar. When I looked at him again, there was no hatred or long-term concern. It was just like looking at a very ordinary stranger. It was so unfamiliar that even a cup of milk tea or a piece of cake in front of him would feel awkward and unnatural.”

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just listened quietly.

Anran paused for a moment and continued, ” “Back then, we were in the same class, but there were very few girls studying architecture. There were 30 people in the class, but only six girls. Mo Fei’s grades were very good, and he was very hardworking in his studies. He came from the mountains of Sichuan. His parents were honest farmers and he had an elder brother and two younger sisters. In their village, there were no buildings higher than three stories. The roads were also made of yellow mud, and there was only one bus passing by every few days. Their only way out was to study and let knowledge change their fate. Could it be that he was too eager for success? in the end, he got into our school with the highest score in the county. In fact, with his grades, he could’ve been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University, but he chose our school in the end. That’s only because we don’t charge him any tuition and miscellaneous fees to support him for four years in University.”

“The time when we started to interact was after Lin Li and Chengxiang got together. Chengxiang and Mo Fei were in the same dormitory, while I was in the same dormitory as Lin Li. When he confessed to me, it was the most direct way. He sent me back to our dormitory and confessed that he liked me. Then, when I was stunned, he took my first kiss away. He smiled and touched my head, saying that he would buy me breakfast tomorrow morning.” As she spoke, Anran smiled faintly, as if she had really returned to her young age. &Quot; the next day, he really waited for me under our dormitory with buns and soy milk that he just bought from the cafeteria. We seemed to have such a muddled beginning, without romantic flowers, without touching words of love. It all started off very ordinary, and there was nothing new about it. Because we knew that he wasn’t in a good financial situation, our dates were always very simple. At first, we didn’t go to the restaurant or even watch a movie. We always ate in the school cafeteria, and then took a walk in the school field after the meal. Sometimes we went to the small forest and walked through every tree, and sometimes we walked by the nameless Lake hand in hand. The most common topic seemed to be about study. From that moment on, I knew that he craved for success. He craved it so much, but what he lacked was opportunity and luck.”

“Our relationship was very stable. There was no excitement or romance, and there was no vigorous bone-piercing, but it was like a small stream of water that flowed for a long time, warm and gradual. Maybe it has something to do with our personalities. We’re both very attentive to this seemingly dull and unpassionate relationship, and we cherish and protect it very much.” Anran said it very lightly, as if she was telling someone else’s story and she was just a bystander.

“You speak so well of him, aren’t you afraid that I’ll be jealous?” Su Yicheng’s low and muffled voice sounded in her ear. His tone was quite serious, and he didn’t seem to be joking.

Anran smiled gently and didn’t respond to his question. She continued, ” “Just like that, we went through three years of University. In the last year, we didn’t have much time to meet each other because of our own internships. The two companies we worked for happened to be on the north and south sides of the country, and the distance between us was more than an hour’s drive. In addition, when we decided to meet, it was either because he was in the office working on a project or because I was busy with the work that I had taken over first. Because it was an internship and because I wanted to stay after the internship, we worked very hard during that period. Even during the weekends, we spent it working overtime in the company. But we talked on the phone every night. He was a considerate boyfriend. No matter how late he was busy, he would always call me after he was done. Because we didn’t see each other often, and he was busy with work, he would always call me. No matter how tired he was because of work, he said he just wanted to hear my voice. Sometimes, he would lose his voice as we talked, and that was because he was really tired and fell asleep. He once promised me that he would succeed. He said that he would give me a grand wedding and make me the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world. He also wanted to buy me a very big diamond ring, book the restaurant in the tallest building in Jiang city, and propose to me. However, all of this had to wait until he succeeded. He said that after he succeeded, he would fulfill all the promises he had made to me. That time, I cried, but I was smiling as I cried. I held the phone and nodded as I cried. Although I knew he couldn’t see or hear me nodding, at that moment, I couldn’t say a word other than crying and nodding. However, he seemed to know my reaction on the other end of the phone and just smiled foolishly.”

“Just like that, we passed our fourth year. After our hard work, we all successfully completed our internship and were able to stay and become full-time employees. That year, even though we talked on the phone every day and knew everything about each other, the number of times we actually met was countable. Moreover, each time we met, it seemed to be for a break. After that, he had to work hard for the design plan, and I had to be ready to go to the construction site at any time. I thought that even though we didn’t see each other that year, our relationship developed the fastest. We knew each other better and our relationship was better than before. Just when I was thinking this, I didn’t even know what was going on. I would hear news about him intermittently, saying that he often went in and out of the restaurant with another girl, the two of them holding hands, always smiling, and that their relationship was very sweet. Of course, I didn’t believe it. I thought that the person they were talking about still insisted on calling me for half an hour every night, telling me the interesting things that happened in the company every day. He even talked about how many big cases he had taken on recently, how much the company’s boss appreciated his work ability, and how he felt that he was one step closer to success. He said that if everything went well, he could give me all the things he had promised me in two years. But a lie is a lie, the more beautiful it is, the more hurtful it is. I can choose not to believe everyone who told me that he had a change of heart. I even told myself again and again that I should believe him because I was the one who was with him for three years and understood him the most, but nothing could beat the truth that I saw with my own eyes. That day, I …” As she spoke, an ran choked up a little, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Su Yicheng let go of her, looked at her fixedly, and reached out to wipe away the fatigue that had slid down the corner of her eyes. He said softly, ” &Quot; if you feel uncomfortable and those memories make you unhappy, then don’t force yourself to say it. I know you’ve let it go. &Quot; He didn’t want to force her, even if he really wanted her to say it to him. But if she was in a little bit of a difficult situation, he didn’t want her to be unhappy.

Anran smiled at him and reached out to wipe the tears on her face. She shook her head and insisted, ” &Quot; that day, the company sent me to attend a party, but I didn’t expect to meet him there. At that time, he had a beautiful woman by his side. They were very compatible, and that night, they were undoubtedly the highlight of the scene. There were people walking around them, and she stood less than five meters behind them, but he didn’t notice. I saw him looking at the woman beside him tenderly, carefully helping her eat, and affectionately pinching her nose. At that time, I even found an excuse for him, comforting myself that the girl was just his dance partner and his colleague. But later, I realized how ridiculous that excuse was. Standing behind them, I heard that the woman would always smile at him when she introduced him to others, then happily tell others that he was her boyfriend. Hehe, don’t you think I was laughable and pitiful back then?” An ran laughed at herself as she recalled everything that had happened.

&Quot; Anran … &Quot; su Yicheng looked at her with a hint of reluctance and worry in his eyes. “Let’s not talk about it anymore. I know everything.” It was painful to recall such a memory again. He understood this feeling. It was not because he could not let go of it or he still had reverie about that man or woman. It was just that he was reliving the process and energy of being betrayed at the beginning. This was the most painful scar.

Anran shook her head stubbornly and said, ” “I’m fine. Let me finish. Once I’m done, I’ll really let it go.”

Su Yicheng looked at her without saying anything.

” That night, I waited for him at the door when he went to the bathroom. He was obviously surprised to see me, but he reacted quickly. I still remember his expression at that time. It was guilt. He turned his head and didn’t look at me. I saw all the answers from his expression. We didn’t talk. I walked past him. Perhaps he felt sorry for me, but he reached out and grabbed my hand. He held it tightly. I could feel his strength. It seemed like he really didn’t want me to leave, but the girl came out of the venue and smiled at him. The moment he saw her, he quickly let go of my hand and smiled at the woman. His tone and eyes were all smiling. A week after the party, he finally called me again. He asked me to go to the coffee shop near our school, which was our favorite place to go when we were studying. After that, he told me that we had broken up. After a week, I felt that he was a stranger when he sat in front of me again. After he said that, we were silent for a long time. I blankly opened my mouth and asked why. Yes, at that time, I didn’t understand. I didn’t understand how a person could change so quickly. The man who was clearly talking to me sweetly on the phone yesterday could immediately pull someone else into his arms. A few days ago, he clearly told me that he was going to give me a grand wedding and buy me the biggest ring. The person who wanted me to be the most beautiful and happy bride in the world, why can she break up with me so easily after just a few days? I asked him for the reason, but he was silent. The two of them sat opposite each other. The cup of coffee went from hot to cold, but he did not say a word. He just pursed his lips tightly and refused to say a word. His silence made me completely disappointed. I didn’t force him and got up to leave. I heard him say behind me, ” I’m sorry, I have to get up and go to America next week. ” I didn’t turn back and left the café.” Anran smiled at him as she spoke, the tears that had just fallen from her face still on.

Su Yicheng’s heart ached a little as he pulled her into his arms. He didn’t know what to say, so he just reached out and gently patted her back.

Anran leaned into his arms, reached out, and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her ear was placed closest to his heart, and then she finished the story. &Quot; on the day he left, I sat in the coffee shop for an entire day, from morning to night. In the end, Lin Li found me before the coffee shop closed. When she saw me, she hugged me and cried even louder than I did. She was even more emotional than I was, and as she cried, she scolded him for being inhuman. Chengxiang was standing right outside, and after half an hour, Lin Li finally stopped crying. At this time, Chengxiang also immediately delivered the letter mo Feilian left for me before he left. Actually, the content of the letter was very simple. There were only seven words, but each word was written with great force.’Wait for me, I will succeed!’ After she finished speaking, Anran let out a long sigh, as if something in her chest had finally been put down. She was extremely relaxed and said, ” “This is everything that happened between mo Fei and I.”

Su Yicheng nodded and patted her back with his fingers. Her experiences seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined. At this moment, he didn’t know what he could do for her. Perhaps the best thing to do was to hold her tightly and give her strength.

Anran withdrew from his arms and stared straight into his eyes. Then, a smile appeared on her face, even though there were still traces of tears on her face.

Su Yicheng’s heart ached a little as he reached out to caress her face and wiped away the tears on her face. Without saying a word, he reached out to hold her face and kissed her one by one. He followed the traces of tears that hadn’t dried up and gently kissed them away. Then, he kissed her eyes. Anran gently closed her eyes and allowed his kisses to fall on her eyes, brows, every corner of her face, and finally on her lips. They gently touched each other, and then he slowly licked them. Then, he pried open her pearly white teeth, sucked, and wrapped around her as he danced with her. The originally light kiss deepened bit by bit, and bit by bit, it turned into an extreme lingering.

The passion came so quickly that they didn’t even have time to return to their rooms. The two of them hugged and kissed tightly, as if they were already fascinated by it. They didn’t know who had pulled on whose clothes, and they didn’t know who had let out the first groan and sigh. The temperature in the room suddenly rose very quickly, burning the two of them. They hugged each other tightly, as if only this kind of hug could drive away the loneliness and emptiness hidden in their hearts. Only then could she completely erase her past figure from the most hidden corner of her heart.

The cup of coffee that Anran had specially made was so sweet that it was a little greasy, and it was accidentally thrown off the table by their large movements. The quality of the quilt was really good. It didn’t break at that height, but only rolled a few times and finally stopped at the corner of the wall. However, the dark brown liquid splattered all over the wooden floor.

All the documents on the desk were pushed to the side. Su Yicheng picked Anran up and made her half-lie on the clean desk. He stared at her with a faint and charming smile on the corners of his mouth. Then, he reached out to take off the clothes on each other’s bodies, and finally reached out to lift her chin, forcing Anran to look up at him. Then, he leaned forward and pressed her entire body under him.

After some time, the entire study was filled with the smell of sex. Men’s shirts and women’s undergarments were thrown to the ground, and even the documents on the left side of the desk were affected, falling to the ground.

On the desk, Anran’s face was red as she lay down with her back facing su Yicheng. There was not a single piece of clothing on their bodies to cover their pleasure, and after doing it impulsively, Anran now regretted it. He couldn’t help but be shocked by his own boldness just now. Look at what she’s done. She’s actually doing it with me in the study room and on the desk in the study room … This … How can she have the face to draw designs on this table and do the work that she couldn’t finish in the company in the future?!

Su Yicheng lay sideways behind her with a satisfied smile on his face, and his hand gently touched her body back and forth. Wherever he went, he saw her body instinctively tremble slightly because of this. The smile on the corner of his mouth became even wider, and his hands moved even more on her body mischievously.

Anran was a little annoyed by his movements, but she was too embarrassed to turn around. She reached out and hit his hand away, swatting away the hand that was burning her body.

Su Yicheng smiled, and even the corners of his eyes were full of smiles. He hugged her from behind and pulled her into his arms with a little force. His chest was tightly pressed against her back, and he gently whispered in her ear, ” “An ran.”

Anran didn’t say anything, because her chest was thumping hard in his embrace. He felt a little depressed. It seemed like she was just telling him about her and Mo Fei, but how did the two end up like this? She couldn’t remember who started it first, who took the initiative!

“An ran.” Su Yicheng called her gently again, his voice carrying a smile, as if he was in a good mood after being satisfied.

“Yes.” An ran responded softly, faintly, and faintly. She never knew that she was so bold and open!

Su Yicheng hugged her even tighter, and their bodies were pressed tightly against each other. He gently called her by her ear again, ” Anran. &Quot; This time, he deliberately dragged out the last syllable, as if with some kind of playfulness.

“Yes.” Her voice was too soft just now, so she thought he didn’t hear her, so an ran responded again.

Su Yicheng only smiled and didn’t say anything. He hugged her even more tightly than before, and his legs were slightly bent, making the two of them bend like two soup spoons.

“An ran.” Su Yicheng seemed to have recognized her voice, and he called her in a low voice again.

This time, Anran finally realized that he was just calling her name out of boredom. In fact, there was nothing going on. Still regretting her impulsiveness, Anran turned her head unhappily and glared at him. &Quot; &Quot; su Yicheng, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t just call me by my name! &Quot;

Su Yicheng only felt that her angry look was very cute, and he laughed instead of getting angry. Looking at her wide eyes and her slightly pouting mouth, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart, so he leaned over and gently kissed his lips.

“Su Yicheng!” An ran pushed him away angrily and put her hands on his chest to keep him a certain distance from her. Because he didn’t just kiss! His hands were clearly moving all over her body, and a certain part of his body was about to change again!

Su Yicheng didn’t get angry, and he smiled even more happily as he looked at her. He pulled her into his arms again, and this time, he didn’t move his hands, but just held her tightly. He looked into her eyes and said seriously, ” &Quot; an ran, let’s be in love. &Quot;

An ran, who was struggling a little, suddenly stopped and looked at him in a daze. Somewhat! Extremely! He was not sure what he had just heard. “You … What did you just say?” he asked, puzzled.

The smile on su Yicheng’s face disappeared, and he looked at her with a serious and serious expression. He reached out to hold her face and said again in a very serious tone, ” An ran, let’s be in love! &Quot;
