Marriage First, True Love Later

When Qin Yun came over from the apartment and rang the doorbell again, Anran and su Yicheng had already finished washing up and changed their clothes.

Su Yicheng was in the bedroom, and Anran went to open the door. When Qin Yun saw her, she couldn’t help but smile. She looked at Anran and said, ” come, let mom take a look. Why haven’t you gone back to visit for so long? your father, grandfather, and I have been talking about it. &Quot;

Anran only smiled obsequiously. &Quot; Yicheng and I will be busy for the next few days. After this busy period is over, we will find time to go home and see you and dad. &Quot;

“Alright, alright, alright.” Qin Yun nodded her head repeatedly. &Quot; when we get back, mom will make you something delicious. You’re just too skinny. &Quot;

Anran quickly smiled. &Quot; mom, come in and say it. &Quot; When the two of them entered the room, su Yicheng happened to come out of the bedroom with a half-done tie hanging around his neck.

“Mom, why didn’t you call us before you came?” Su Yicheng said as he put on his tie.

“If you don’t come to see me, then you won’t allow me to see my daughter-in-law.” Qin Yun rolled her eyes at her son and turned to Anran. She immediately put on her most kind smile and said, ” “Anran, don’t you agree?”

Anran laughed dryly, then turned around to look at su Yicheng without saying anything.

“That’s not what I meant. You see, I haven’t had the time to inform you about my move. I was just afraid that you would take a detour like this morning.” Su Yicheng said with a smile.

Qin Yun laughed and scolded, ” you’re such a sweet talker. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you knew you were going to take a detour and move? I think you probably don’t welcome me here. &Quot; He turned to look at the decoration of the house and nodded, ” &Quot; Speaking of which, I think the decoration of your house is much better than your previous one. Your previous one was either black or white, cold and just like your personality. If it were me, I wouldn’t be used to it either. &Quot; As he spoke, he turned to Anran and said, ” “Anran, don’t you agree?”

Anran smiled but didn’t say anything. She looked at su Yicheng, only to see him shrug helplessly.

As they joked, Qin Yun finally remembered the purpose of her visit today. Two days ago, someone had sent her a wild pheasant. Yesterday, she had specially boiled it into soup. She knew that the two of them were busy with work and probably wouldn’t have time to return to the courtyard, so she had sent them the chicken soup that she had boiled the entire night. She was afraid that if she was late, they would all go out to work and she wouldn’t be able to meet them. However, she didn’t expect that after ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one would come out to open the door or call the landline. She only heard the phone ring, but no one picked up, so she called su Yicheng’s phone. However, they didn’t expect that they would move so unluckily!

&Quot; Anran is just too thin. I heard that this chicken soup is especially nourishing for the body. Anran, you have to finish it all. Mom had to stay up all night last night and only took it out of the pot this morning. &Quot; As Qin Yun spoke, she poured out the excitement in the thermos bottle and handed it to Anran. &Quot; “Here, drink it while it’s hot.”

Anran couldn’t refuse, so she had to take the soup from her hands. Although she hadn’t eaten anything in the morning and was a little hungry, she had never had such greasy food so early in the morning. “Thank you, Mom.”

Su Yicheng touched his nose and said sourly, ” “Mom, are you washing your daughter-in-law and forgetting about your son?”

Qin Yun turned around and said matter-of-factly, ” &Quot; the wife is to be loved. The son’s skin is rough and his flesh is thick. He just needs to be trained. &Quot;

“Mom, you’re too biased.” After they got married, su Yicheng felt that his status in the family had plummeted. In the past, when his mother called, she would always be concerned about him, but now, almost every time she called, she would ask about Anran, whether she had lost weight or gained weight, whether she was tired, and whether her work was hard. She rarely asked him about it, and he once wondered if this was still his mother.

Qin Yun looked at her son in annoyance and said, ” &Quot; what do you know? I used to count on you to get me married. Now that we’re married, I still need Anran to give me my eldest grandson. Of course, I have to treat Anran better. &Quot; As he spoke, he didn’t forget to turn to Anran and say, ” “Right, an ran?”

“Hehe, yes, yes.” An ran only laughed dryly, unable to say anything. She really hadn’t thought about the child, but she also knew that she and su Yicheng were not young anymore, so it was only natural for the elders in the family to be worried.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng touched his nose and muttered, ” &Quot; if I didn’t work hard, Anran wouldn’t have been able to give birth to the child. In the end, I’m the key. &Quot;

“You brat, you dare to not work hard!” Qin Yun widened her eyes and looked at her son with a threatening look. He actually dared to stop her from carrying her eldest grandson. He was simply too much of a bastard.

&Quot; cough, cough … &Quot; Anran choked on the soup in her mouth. &Quot; cough, cough, cough, cough, cough … &Quot; she coughed so hard that her face turned red.

“Aiya, how could you be so careless?” Qin Yun patted her back as she spoke. &Quot; come, let’s calm down first. &Quot;

Anran quickly shook her head. &Quot; ahem, I’m, I’m fine. &Quot; It was unknown whether it was because she had choked on the chicken soup or because of what they had just said, but her face was as red as a ripe red apple.

“Sigh, your face is red from choking, and you still say you’re fine.” Qin Yun’s heart ached for her as she said that. Her hands kept caressing her back.

Su Yicheng chuckled. &Quot; mom, ” he said, ” Anran didn’t choke on the soup. She’s just shy. &Quot;

Anran rolled her eyes at him and said, ” “I, I didn’t.”

Qin Yun was stunned for a while before she realized what su Yicheng meant. She turned around and looked at Anran suggestively, saying, ” “Aiya, what’s there to be embarrassed about? we’re all family.”

“Mom,” she said. An ran was a little embarrassed. &Quot; I didn’t. &Quot;

Qin Yun chuckled and didn’t expose her. Looking at her stomach, she pulled her hand over and asked with a smile, ” &Quot; Anran, you’ve been married to ah Zhen for a while. Do you think you’re pregnant? ”

“Mom!” Anran’s face turned even redder. What the hell was this? she had been married to su Yicheng for less than two months, so how could it be that they had been married for a while? Anran couldn’t take it anymore and turned to look at su Yicheng for help.

Su Yicheng naturally understood the meaning in her eyes, so he stepped forward with a smile and pulled her into his arms. He looked at his mother and said, ” &Quot; mom, you’re too anxious. Anran and I have only been married for less than two months. No matter how soon we get married, it’s impossible for us to get you a grandson immediately. Even if we get pregnant, it’ll take ten months. &Quot;

“Ten months of pregnancy!” Qin Yun caught the main point and looked at Anran. &Quot; “An ran, you really have one?”

&Quot; I … &Quot; Anran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What was going on? she felt like she couldn’t explain herself, as if she couldn’t explain herself.

&Quot; mom, Anran isn’t pregnant. We’re just making an analogy. &Quot; Su Yicheng said to help her out.

Qin Yun furrowed her brows and asked bluntly, ” “Do you guys use birth control?”

Anran was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say. She turned her head and buried herself in su Yicheng’s arms. She really felt that she was too ashamed to face anyone.

Su Yicheng thought for a while, then said seriously, ” “No, I didn’t,”

&Quot; have you checked at the hospital? ” Qin Yun closed in step by step.

Su Yicheng shook his head again. &Quot; No. &Quot;

&Quot; then that’s it. You’ve been married for almost two months, and you’re both normal. It’s not strange if you have a child. &Quot; Qin Yun said, ” when I was pregnant with you, I didn’t know for the first two months. One day, I fainted for no reason in the hospital and gave your father a shock. After a checkup, I found out that I was pregnant. So, maybe Anran is already pregnant. Why don’t you go to the hospital in the morning for a check-up, Anran?”

Qin Yun was a little anxious, but she couldn’t be blamed. Back then, she had been looking forward to her son’s marriage day and night, but her son had a grudge against their relationship because of what happened in the past. He let her say all kinds of good and bad things. He asked people to find many girls, but she didn’t look at them. He was already in his thirties, and she thought that he might be single for the rest of his life. However, he surprised everyone and brought back a wife. Although he didn’t hold a wedding, at least they had collected their marriage certificate. The two of them were legally married. Moreover, after they got married, their relationship seemed to be sweet. They had just let go of that big matter, and now something else was happening. Several families in the quad that were old SU’s comrades ‘families were already full of children and grandchildren, while they were prepared to be alone. Even when her son got married, he did not bring his wife back to the quad many times. Therefore, she had been looking forward to her son’s wedding. Next, of course, she had to look forward to the two of them giving birth to a fat grandson for her as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would feel very uncomfortable if the old ladies in the courtyard kept holding their grandchildren and walking around in front of her.

“Mom, I, I didn’t.” An ran’s face was so red that it could almost bleed.

&Quot; mom, that’s enough. If you keep talking, Anran will really cry. &Quot; Su Yicheng laughed and patted Anran, then said, ” &Quot; besides, it’s still a working day, and Anran and I have been quite busy recently. We really don’t have time to go to the hospital. &Quot;

“What if there really is one?” Qin Yun didn’t give up. Although she knew that she was a little too impatient, it wasn’t impossible.

“I, I just had my period a few days ago.” Anran buried her face in su Yicheng’s arms and said in a low voice, ”

Hearing this, Qin Yun finally gave up. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, ” “Hehe, even if he’s not here this month, he’ll probably be here next month.”

An ran blushed with shame. How was she supposed to reply? she didn’t know if they would really come next month. They didn’t have the final say in this kind of thing.

Seeing Anran like this, Qin Yun stepped forward, smiled, and took her hand. She patted it gently and said, ” &Quot; Anran, don’t be fooled by mom’s words. Mom is really anxious. Ah, ah Zhen isn’t young anymore, so it’s reasonable for her to want a grandson at my age. Besides, while mom is still young, I can help you take care of your child. If you think that the child is troublesome and that it will affect your work, you can leave the child in the quad and let me take care of him for you. You can come over to spend the weekend with the child. That’s fine too, don’t you think?”

Anran laughed dryly as she looked at Qin Yun. The heat on her face had not subsided, and her face was still very red. She laughed dryly and replied, ” mom, I didn’t say that I wouldn’t give birth, but this matter also depends on fate. It’s not something that can be done just because we say so. &Quot;

Qin Yun was relieved to hear her say that. She was anxious. Other than wanting grandchildren, she was also afraid that Anran would say that she didn’t want to have children. People nowadays couldn’t be compared to the past. When she watched TV, there were a lot of things about dinks and so on. Even that d * mned girl yijiao kept saying that she wouldn’t have children in the future, saying that she would grow old quickly after having children. Also, if she was pestered by children, she wouldn’t be able to live as freely as she was now. These words almost drove her to death, but fortunately, Anran didn’t say that she didn’t want to have children.

&Quot; haha, I was too anxious. Look at me. I’m so anxious that I can’t even keep my mouth shut. That’s right, that’s right. Children also depend on fate. When they’re supposed to come, they’ll come. You can’t be anxious. You can’t be anxious. &Quot; Qin Yun said with a smile.

Su Yicheng looked at his watch and said, ” &Quot; okay, mom, it’s getting late. Anran and I are in a hurry to go to work. Why don’t we go first? ”

Qin Yun looked at her watch. It was indeed getting late, so she quickly said, ” “Aiya, it’s getting late. Hurry up and go, don’t delay your work. I’m going back too. I still have to go to yijiao’s place to take a look. Both of you siblings will have to worry. I don’t know what happened to yijiao before. She came back crying and didn’t say a word when I asked her about it. She left the next morning.”

“Yijiao?” Su Yicheng frowned.

&Quot; Alright, alright. Hurry to work and don’t be late. I’ll put the chicken soup in the refrigerator for you. Remember to warm it up when you come back tonight. &Quot; As Qin Yun spoke, she took the bowl of chicken soup from the table and went to the kitchen. He suddenly thought of something and turned to them, saying, ” &Quot; by the way, Anran, when do you think your parents will be free? it’s necessary to arrange for the two families to meet. Last time, it was delayed because of ah Zhen’s matter, and after that, your father is busy with the drill. But now that the drill is over, and ah Zhen’s illness has been cured, when will you arrange for us elders to meet? Grandpa has been talking about this these few days. He said that not having a wedding is already impolite enough to your parents, so this meeting is still necessary. &Quot;

Anran nodded. &Quot; okay, I’ll tell my parents. &Quot; In fact, her parents had also mentioned it, but she had been busy recently and had been pushed away. However, now that the design of the manor had been completed, and the sample House was going smoothly, everything was on the right track, and he would not be as busy as he was a few days ago.

Su Yicheng went to the study and took out their briefcases. Anran’s face was still slightly red, but it was much better than before. She went to the kitchen and said to Qin Yun, ” “Mom, we’ll be leaving now.”

“Alright, be careful on the road.”

When they got into the car, Anran’s face was still very red. Su Yicheng glanced at her in amusement and said jokingly, ” “You’re still shy.”

Anran glanced at him angrily, then turned her face away and looked out the window. She was already thin-skinned, so she couldn’t bear to say anything.

Su Yicheng started the car with a smile and drove smoothly on the road. After a while, he faintly muttered, ” “I don’t remember you having your period a while ago.”

Upon hearing this, Anran turned her head to look at him, and the blush on her face that had faded suddenly reddened again. &Quot; you … &Quot; she looked at him, too embarrassed to say a word.

Su Yicheng smiled and said with a wicked heart, ” “Don’t you think mom is right?” As he said this, he looked at her stomach suggestively. &Quot; are you really pregnant? ”

Anran turned her head in anger and embarrassment and said in a muffled voice, ” “That part of mine is abnormal to begin with.”

“Hahaha.” Su Yicheng laughed out loud, and he was in a good mood.

Anran, on the other hand, looked outside gloomily. Her face was very red, and her entire body was a little hot. Even the wind blowing in from the window couldn’t reduce the heat on her face.

After laughing, the car soon arrived at the entrance of Anran’s company building. Anran reached out to open the door and was about to get out of the car in a fit of pique, but Shu Yicheng grabbed her hand with one hand. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at her and asked seriously, ” “Anran, do you feel any pressure?”

Anran looked at him in a daze. It took her a while to realize that the pressure he was talking about was Qin Yun forcing her to have a child. She fell silent for a moment, then looked at him and asked, ” “If I say I didn’t, would you believe me?”

Su Yicheng smiled faintly, rubbed her small hand with his big palm, looked at her, and said with a serious expression, ” &Quot; if you don’t want to, we can take it slow. Don’t mind what mom said this morning. I won’t force you. I just want you to be happy. &Quot;

Anran only felt warmth in her heart. In fact, his words were enough. She held his hand, shook her head, and smiled faintly. &Quot; how can we not care about mom? she is your mother, my mother-in-law, and our elder. We naturally have to care and consider her thoughts. Besides, her thoughts are not wrong, and they are all reasonable. I guess anyone would think the same. And … &Quot; as she spoke, Anran lowered her head slightly and smiled faintly, but there was a hint of shyness in her smile.

“And what?” Su Yicheng asked.

Anran raised her head and looked at him. &Quot; “I didn’t. It’s not that I don’t want to have children. I’m willing to have children for you.”

Su Yicheng stared at her for a long time before he smiled faintly and pulled her into his arms. He stroked her head and gently whispered in her ear, ” “Thank you,” he said. He didn’t know how others would react when a woman said that she was willing to bear a child for him, but he was excited and grateful at the moment.

Anran let him hold her. She slowly raised her hands and gently hugged him. A smile hung on her lips as she said in a low voice, ” “But I don’t have the final say in this, we still have to let nature take its course.”

Su Yicheng nodded and smiled. &Quot; then I’ll work hard every night from now on. &Quot;

Upon hearing this, Anran’s face turned red again, and she pushed him away angrily. It would have been fine if he hadn’t said it, but now that he had said it, she felt her whole body ache. &Quot; you still have the cheek to say it? I don’t see you being so quiet now. &Quot; She had once wondered if their marital life was too frequent. Some time ago, she had even specially searched on the forum, and some people said that couples in love could do it three to four times a week, but she and su Yicheng had sex almost every night, which was a little too frequent.

Su Yicheng laughed out loud, looked at her stomach, and said shamelessly, ” &Quot; the revolution has not yet succeeded. Comrade, you still need to work hard. &Quot;

Anran’s face reddened, and she glared at him. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. Before she got out of the car, she scolded him angrily, ” pervert. &Quot;

This made su Yicheng, who was in the car, laugh out loud, and he was in an exceptionally good mood.

Anran quickly walked into the company building. She didn’t turn back to look at him, but her face was still red. Thinking about what he had just said, she couldn’t help but smile. It was both angry and funny. Such a serious person actually knew how to speak dirty words.

From the elevator to the office, Anran took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and patted her slightly hot face before she entered the office.

“Good Morning, sister Gu.” At the front desk, the office girl greeted her with a sweet smile.

“Morning.” Anran responded with a smile. When she reached her office and was about to go back to her own office, she saw Chen Cheng sitting quietly in a corner alone, looking at the documents she had given her yesterday. She remembered seeing her in the restaurant last night. Anran walked over to her and knocked on her table. When she raised her head, she said lightly, ” “Come to my office.”

Chen Cheng nodded in a daze. She made a mark on the document in her hand, then closed the document and followed Anran into her office.

Anran put her briefcase aside, motioned for her to sit down, and turned on the computer.

Chen Cheng sat down in front of her. Before Anran could say anything, she said, ” &Quot; I know I’ve violated the company’s rules, but I worked at the Western restaurant before I came here. When I came here to work, I already asked the manager to resign, but the manager said that they couldn’t find anyone at the moment and hoped that I could do it until they found someone to replace me. &Quot;

Anran looked at her, nodded, and said, ” &Quot; it’s not unreasonable to say that, but I hope you won’t delay your work in the company because of this. &Quot;

“I know,” Chen Cheng replied firmly.

Anran nodded and handed her a document on the table. &Quot; this is the case I worked on before. The design plan is in the document. Take a good look at it in the morning, and in the afternoon, you can go to the construction site to take a look and help me see the progress of the project. Is there a problem? ”

Chen Cheng reached out and took it. She said with confidence and certainty, ” no problem. &Quot;

Anran nodded. &Quot; then you can go out. &Quot;

Chen Cheng nodded and left the room.

Anran watched as she closed the door and disappeared out the door, then looked away. In fact, she had modified the drawing, and there were a few parts where the proportions were wrong. The purpose of doing this was just to test her. Because of what she said yesterday, she was so confident that she wanted to see how strong she was. If it was really as Huang Dexing said, then she would help Ah Hong, but if it was the second Ling Lin, then there was no need to.

At noon, Anran had just finished eating when the effect model was sent to her. It was faster than she had expected, and it was very beautiful.

Just as Anran was carefully looking at the model and facing it against the design, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar foreign number. Anran frowned. Her intuition told her that this was a call from a salesman, who was speculating in real estate, shops, stocks, and gold. It seemed that the current housing prices were so high that the rich couldn’t live in all the houses, and the poor didn’t have any houses to live in. It was all driven by these people. She immediately rejected the call. She did not want to waste her energy dealing with such a person.

However, the other party seemed to be very patient. After she hung up, the phone rang again immediately, as if he was going to call her until she answered.

Anran pinched the space between her eyebrows and picked it up helplessly. Without waiting for the other party to speak, she said directly, ” &Quot; if you’re trying to sell a house or a shop for me to invest in, then I’m sorry, I’m in this line of business. But if you want me to invest in the stock market, I’m sorry, I don’t like such speculation. &Quot;

The phone was so stunned that it took a long time before laughter came through. It was as melodious as Silver Bells.

Anran was stunned when she heard this. She took out her phone and looked at it. It was still that unfamiliar number, but she couldn’t remember the voice wrong!

With uncertainty, he probed, ” “Lin Li? Lin Li?”

“Hehe, an Zi, why didn’t I know that you picked up your phone in such a special way?” Lin Li said with a smile on the other side of the phone.

Upon hearing this, Anran felt her nose turn sour, and a warm stream seemed to be about to rush out of her eyes. She quickly looked up at the ceiling and forced the tears in her eyes back. After a while, she said hatefully, ” “Lin Li, you still know to call me!” She had gone back, but her phone had been turned off for a few days. When she called again, it had become an empty number. She didn’t know the number of Lin Li’s hometown, so she had no news about Lin Li at all. She didn’t know who to ask or where to get information from. Lin Li, who had returned home, seemed to have evaporated from the world.

“Didn’t I call you? don’t be calculative.” Lin Li said over the phone. From her tone, she seemed to be in a good mood. “Oh right, this is my new number. Remember to save it so that the next time I call, it won’t be the number that I used to advertise.”

“Yes.” Anran nodded and asked worriedly, ” how have you been? ”

“Do I look like I’m not good?” Lin Li smiled and said, ” some time ago, my parents took me out for a walk. In fact, I’ve thought a lot during this time. Some things really can’t be forced. If I can’t do it after spending ten years, why should I spend more time being stupid? ” During this period of time with my parents, I realized that they had really aged. Even though their white hair had been dyed black, it still kept popping out. But for my sake, I made them worry about me at such an old age. It’s really too much. Even if it’s not for anything else, I have no reason not to get well quickly for my parents. I’ve always been stuck in a dead end, but now that I’ve come out of it, it feels pretty good. My life in the past revolved around Chengxiang, but now I can think more about my own feelings and my parents.”

Anran sighed softly. She didn’t know if Lin Li had really recovered or if she had said it well, but from her tone, she was at least much better than when she had left. Perhaps what su Yicheng said was right. People always had to go through some things before they could really grow up. Lin Li’s life had been too smooth, so she could always maintain a child’s heart and always distinguish right from wrong.

This could be considered an inevitable price to pay for his growth. Although this price was very painful, it was also profound.

&Quot; an Zi, let me show you my new hairstyle. It’s short hair that I really like. &Quot; Lin Li said excitedly. Her joy could be heard from her words.

“Alright,” he said. An ran nodded and agreed gently.

The two hung up the phone, and in less than a minute, Anran’s phone notified her of a multimedia message. In the photo, Lin Li’s long, classic-looking hair had been cut short, and it only went past her ears. Her black hair had been dyed a light yellow, and the new hairstyle made Lin Li look completely different. She no longer had the temperament of a classic beauty from before. She was more fashionable and playful. In the photo, she was smiling very happily, and that smile was happiness from the truth.

There was a line of small words at the bottom of the picture,’pretty? pretty? you must say it’s pretty. I refuse to say it’s not pretty or average.’

Anran chuckled, took her phone, and replied to her seriously. As she had wished, she said, ” very beautiful. &Quot;

It was good to cut her hair. She could cut off her longing for the past and cut off the shadow of others in her body. She could be her real self again and live her own life.

The two of them chatted a little more through text messages, and it ended when mother Lin called Lin Li out for dinner.

Anran looked at Lin Li’s photo on her phone for a long time before she put her phone back into her pocket and carefully checked the sample model and the drawing again.

Just as Anran was checking, Xiao Xiao and Ling Lin came in after eating. Xiao Xiao glanced at Anran, then wriggled her way into her office with some disdain. Ling Lin, on the other hand, didn’t return to her seat. Instead, she stepped forward and stood in front of Anran, staring straight at her.

Anran raised her head, looked at her, and responded faintly, ” what’s the matter? ”

&Quot; did you know that my sister committed suicide? ” Ling Lin looked at her fixedly, her gaze as if she wanted to tear her apart and eat her up.

Anran nodded lightly. &Quot; I know. &Quot;

Don’t you feel guilty at all? he committed suicide because of brother Yicheng, and it was in your house. &Quot; Ling Lin criticized.

“Guilty?” Anran didn’t understand. &Quot; why should I feel guilty about other people’s stupid actions? ” she asked. She even felt that Ling Lan’s excuse of suicide was laughable and not worthy of pity at all. She wasn’t even responsible for her own life, so what love was there to talk about? He was just finding a very farfetched excuse for his own unwillingness to accept the outcome.

“That’s because you snatched brother Yicheng away.” Linglin said hatefully, ” you are not worthy of brother Yicheng at all. You are not beautiful enough, and you don’t even have a good background. If you are with brother Yicheng, you are simply a brother Yicheng who is above you. &Quot;

Anran checked her emotions on the last detail, then put away the design in her hand. She glanced at Ling Lin indifferently. &Quot; I can’t deny that what you said is true, but so what? ”

&Quot; you … &Quot; Ling Lin couldn’t say anything for a moment, and could only stare at her with wide eyes.

&Quot; even if I’m not here, there’s someone else. It was impossible between them seven years ago. Do you think it’s possible now? ”

Ling Lin didn’t say anything. Of course, she knew that her sister and su Yicheng had no more chances, but she couldn’t accept it. She had waited for seven years, and in the end, she had gotten the advantage.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Anran didn’t look at her anymore. She took the design and went straight to her office.

Ling Lin stood there and watched her back disappear around the corner of the office corridor. Because of her unwillingness, her hands were clenched tightly. She turned to look at the model of the sample room on the table, and a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes.
