Marriage First, True Love Later

He told his parents what Doctor Zhang had said. In the end, after some discussion, the family decided to go for conservative treatment and prescribe him some medicine. After all, open-head surgery was too risky. Even if the hospital said that they were 100% confident, Anran and Gu Hengwen were still worried. After all, it was a surgery on the head, which was not comparable to other things.

Doctor Zhang also expressed his understanding of their choice. Since they had chosen not to undergo surgery, there was no need for them to stay in the hospital. All the necessary examinations had been completed, so Lin xiaofen’s request to be discharged was approved that afternoon.

Because he wanted to celebrate Lin xiaofen’s safe discharge from the hospital, father Gu specially went to the agricultural market to buy some vegetables. He planned to cook a good meal for himself that night. Anran helped Lin xiaofen into the house and put away the things she had brought back from the hospital. When she turned her head, she saw Lin xiaofen, who was sitting on the sofa, staring at her in a daze. She was so focused and serious that Anran didn’t even notice when she turned around to look at her.

An ran walked over to her and called her softly, ” mom? ”

Only then did Lin xiaofen react. She looked at Anran and laughed dryly to hide her embarrassment. &Quot; what, what’s wrong? ”

Anran shook her head and smiled at her. &Quot; nothing. Are you thirsty? I’ll get you a glass of water. &Quot;

“Alright,” he said. Lin xiaofen nodded at her.

An ran poured two glasses of water from the kitchen, one for her and one for herself.

Then, she sat down beside her. Today, Lin xiaofen was very strange. She kept staring at her like this. Her eyes seemed to be afraid, afraid of losing something. Anran avoided her gaze, but she didn’t dare to ask her why. She recalled what she had heard at the door of the ward, and she didn’t dare to ask, because she was afraid that the answer would be something she didn’t want.

Sighing silently, he reached out and held Lin xiaofen’s hand. Looking at her face, which had obviously lost weight these past few days, he said with a little heartache, ” &Quot; mom, you should stop working in the factory. Look at how worried dad and I are about you. &Quot; Fortunately, she was fine this time. When she received the phone call that day, she was really frightened. If something had really happened to her, she didn’t even dare to think about it.

&Quot; this was an accident. Mom is in good health. &Quot; Lin xiaofen smiled and held Anran’s hand. In fact, work wasn’t that tiring. It was just busier at the end of the month. In fact, she didn’t want to retire not because of the salary. In fact, she had long passed the age of retirement. The reason she hadn’t left her post was that she didn’t want to return home and do nothing all day after retirement.

&Quot; besides, why do you want me to stay at home instead of going to work? your dad still has classes, and you’re married. There’s usually no one at home. I might as well go to work. There are a few old sisters there to chat with and kill time. &Quot;

&Quot; after you retire, you can plant flowers and raise fish at home. I also want to tell dad that he’s old and should retire a long time ago. When the time comes, the two of you can go out and walk around. Haven’t you always wanted to travel? in the past, the conditions didn’t allow it, but the two of you had jobs. Now that the two of you have retired, you can go out and take a look. There’s nothing wrong with that. &Quot; An ran tried to persuade him.

Lin xiaofen chuckled because she knew that her daughter was very stubborn in certain aspects. If she didn’t agree, she would definitely drag her daughter into agreeing. She went along with her and said, ” “Alright, I’ll tell your dad. We’ll consider it.” In fact, it wasn’t a bad thing to retire. As Anran had said, she really wanted to go out and take a look.

Anran nodded. Seeing her mother’s gentle smile, she realized that her mother had really gotten old. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were already so obvious, and even her hair had turned white.

Looking at her, she couldn’t help but reach out to stroke her mother’s hair. An ran said in a low voice, ” “White hair …”

Lin xiaofen laughed and only sighed. &Quot; mom is really old. How can I not have white hair when I’m old? ”

An ran didn’t say anything and gently stroked her hair.

Lin xiaofen was also looking at her. As she looked, she became a little absent-minded. Suddenly, she softly muttered, ” “Ranran, if you find out that I lied to you in the future, will you hate me?”

The hand that was stroking her hair suddenly stopped, and he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He only asked softly, ” “Mom, what did mom lie to me about?”

Lin xiaofen seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses. She quickly looked away and did not look at her. She shook her head awkwardly and said, ” “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I was just saying, just saying.”

An ran didn’t ask any more questions. She picked up the water on the low table and took a sip. The other hand on her leg was cold and even covered in cold sweat. At that moment, she was really afraid. She was afraid that she would say it.

Without waiting for father Gu to come back, Anran made an excuse that there was an urgent business at the company and she had to rush back immediately. After hearing what she said, Lin xiaofen didn’t stay any longer. She didn’t know about Anran’s company situation, but she thought that Anran had been going to the hospital a lot these past few days because of her own business. She also told Lin xiaofen to work hard and not worry about her.

When she arrived at the entrance of the community, she happened to meet father Gu, who had just come back from buying groceries. Seeing that she was leaving, although father Gu was a little disappointed, like Lin xiaofen, he told her to work hard and come back with Yicheng for dinner when she was free.

When she walked to the street again, an ran didn’t have a purpose at all, so she was a little confused. In fact, there was nothing going on at the company. She just didn’t dare to stay at home. She was afraid that Lin xiaofen would either say it herself or she couldn’t help but ask Lin xiaofen.

She always had a bad premonition, and her heart was flustered and scared. She couldn’t help but guess and think.

Standing on the busy street, Anran suddenly felt like she didn’t know where to go or where to go. She was so flustered that she wanted to find someone to talk to, but there was no one around her.

At this moment, she really wanted to find someone to talk to. After thinking about it, Anran could only think of Lin Li.

He took out his phone from his bag and called Lin Li. The call went through, but no one picked up after a long time. After hanging up the phone, she looked at her phone and couldn’t find a second person to call.

Her heart was really in a panic. She casually grabbed a taxi and got in, but when the driver asked her for the address, she couldn’t say a word. She didn’t want to go home, let alone go to the company. She let the driver drive around the street for a long time before she finally said the address softly.

The sun moved to the West, leaving behind a dazzling red glow that illuminated the entire sky. It was really Midsummer, and the days were getting longer and longer. It was clearly past six O ‘clock. If it was before, it would have been dark. At this moment, the sky was still so bright, and it didn’t seem like night was coming.

Su Yicheng drove out of the municipal Party Committee building, and when he passed by the main gate, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the figure sitting in front of the flower bed at the entrance. He parked the car to the side, opened the door, and got out of the car with a slight frown.

The security guard at the entrance saw him get out of the car and was about to walk over to the woman sitting in front of the flower bed. He quickly went up to him and said, ” &Quot; su city. I don’t know what’s wrong with that person. She’s been sitting there for more than an hour, but she hasn’t come in. I asked her if she was looking for someone, but she just shook her head. &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn’t look at him and walked directly toward the figure sitting in front of the flower bed.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Anran’s face, making her look a little dazed. The temperature today wasn’t high, but it wasn’t too low either. After sitting here for more than an hour, a thin layer of sweat had already covered her forehead. Anran’s eyes were staring straight ahead, as if she was thinking about something, and she didn’t notice that su Yicheng, who was beside her, was slowly walking toward her.

Su Yicheng walked up to her and blocked the afterglow of the setting sun in front of her. He gently called her, ” Anran. &Quot;

Anran was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. His back was against the light, and he looked up at her. His face was a little blurry, and it took her a while to recognize him. She smiled faintly and said, ” “You’re off work.”

Su Yicheng nodded, looked at her with a smile, and said, ” “Why didn’t you call me?” He didn’t ask her why she was here, only why she didn’t call.

Anran shook her head. &Quot; I didn’t want to disturb you, ” she said. &Quot; I didn’t want to disturb you. &Quot; In fact, when the driver parked the car there, she realized that this was the address she had been thinking about for a long time. She had wanted to call him directly, but she remembered that it wasn’t long before he got off work, so she decided to sit here and wait. She would see him when he drove out later, and she would have to calm down and think about it carefully.

Su Yicheng reached out to her. Anran looked at him, put her hand in his large palm, and let him hold it. Then, she stood up with him.

An ran stood up and patted the dust off her body.

Su Yi reached out to tidy up her hair, which had been blown messily by the wind. After he had smoothened the bangs on her forehead, he held her hand and walked to the car parked at the side.

The security guard, who had been standing to the side, was a little stunned as he watched all of this. Although su Yicheng was famous for being gentle and elegant, he always gave people a faint sense of alienation, as if there was an invisible distance between them, making it difficult for people to really get close to him. He was even more polite to the ladies, never overstepping his boundaries. Even when he shook hands with them, it was only a light touch, and then he would immediately withdraw his hand. However, this woman seemed to be different. There were also rumors in the municipal Party Committee that su Yicheng was married, but very few people had actually seen Mrs. Su, because they had not held a wedding, and Mrs. Su rarely participated in the activities of the municipal Party Committee.

In the car, su Yicheng looked at her indifferently and casually asked, ” &Quot; is mom’s medical report out yet? is there any problem? ” He had been busy all day with the project bidding. He had remembered to call her, but he hadn’t had the time. He had wanted to call Anran after work to ask about the situation, but before he could make the call, he saw her sitting alone by the flower bed.

“Everything’s going well. Doctor Zhang said that there’s a pituitary tumor, but it’s benign. It’s just that the position is a little off, and I’m afraid that it’ll oppress the optic nerve in the future. But after discussing it with my father, we’ve decided to use conservative treatment. It’s too risky to open the skull.” An ran said honestly.

&Quot; will that affect anything? ” Su Yicheng asked, a little worried. He was more concerned about Lin xiaofen’s physical condition.

&Quot; it won’t have any impact. It’s benign and won’t grow. &Quot; However, no one knew if their positions would change. However, compared to opening their skulls, they decided to be more conservative.

Su Yicheng nodded and asked,”do you want to go home and take a look?”

An ran was stunned. She knew that the home he was talking about was her family. He shook his head and said,”no, I’m a little tired.”

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything else and focused on driving, looking ahead seriously. However, when there was a gap, he reached out and held her hand.

Anran turned her head to look at him. After a while, she said, ” Yicheng, if you knew that someone was hiding something from you, and the thing that they were hiding was closely related to you, what would you do? ”

Su Yicheng turned his head and glanced at her, but he didn’t say anything. He turned his head back and continued to focus on driving.

Anran waited for a long time, and just as she thought that he didn’t have an answer, the car slowly stopped at a red light, and then she heard su Yicheng say, ” “If this is for my own good, then I’d rather continue to pretend that I don’t know.” He turned around and smiled at her.

Anran froze and asked, ” you already know. How can you pretend? ” She wanted to pretend that she didn’t know, but she kept thinking about what she had heard at the door of the ward in the afternoon. She couldn’t help but guess what those words meant.

Su Yicheng didn’t answer. After the red light, he started the car and continued driving forward.

Anran didn’t say anything else. She just turned her head to look out the window. The expression on her face was the same as the one on the flower bed. She was clearly looking into the distance, but she didn’t focus at all.

The car slowly stopped in the building’s underground garage. Anran opened the door and wanted to get out of the car, but the moment she turned around, su Yicheng grabbed her hand tightly. He stared at her, sighed, and asked softly, ” &Quot; what happened? can you tell me? ”

Anran looked at him and stared at him. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of grievance. Then, as she thought about it, her eyes turned red and hot, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

Su Yicheng allowed her to cry as he patiently reached out to wipe away her tears that kept falling.

After a long while, Anran finally stopped crying. She looked into his eyes and told him what she had heard in the afternoon in front of the ward. She was in a mess. Even at this moment, her heart was in a mess. She wanted to find someone to talk to. If she didn’t, she didn’t know how to ease the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

&Quot; Yicheng, do you think I’m really not dad’s daughter? ” Anran stared at su Yicheng’s question and answer. Her eyes were red and steaming, as if tears would fall at the slightest touch.

Su Yicheng looked back into her eyes and calmly asked, ” “Is family only related by blood?”

Anran was stunned. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked straight at him, not quite understanding what he meant.

“Will you disown dad just because you’re not related to him by blood?” Su Yicheng asked again, but this time he seemed to understand a little.

Anran shook her head and said with certainty, ” “He will always be my father!” She was in the past, she was now, and she would definitely be in the future, regardless of whether they were blood-related or not, regardless of whether the blood flowing in their bodies was the same.

Su Yicheng smiled and reached out to wipe away the tears that had just fallen out of her anxious state. This time, he didn’t immediately take them back. He gently touched her cheek and said indifferently, ” then, do you have any other questions? ”

Anran froze and thought carefully about what he had said. Then, she seemed to understand something. Yes, regardless of whether they were blood-related or not, regardless of whether he was her biological father or not, the only person she would acknowledge as her father was Gu Hengwen. There would be no other him!

She looked at him and thought it through. Suddenly, she laughed through her tears. &Quot; hehe. &Quot; She nodded and shook her head at him, saying, ” “Yes, there’s no problem.”

She was the one who had been going into a dead end and forced herself into a dead end. In fact, no matter who she was or who her biological father was, she would only have one father, and that was Gu Hengwen. He had once given her a happy childhood and accompanied her through a slightly rebellious period. Back then, he had not been less worried about her studies and work. Even now, he still loved her and could not let go of her. All the things that he had done for her all these years could not be denied just by blood relations. So, no matter whether he was or not, he would always be Gu Anran’s father.

Su Yicheng pinched her delicate nose and said, ” “Let’s go up. I remember we bought beef last night. I’ll make curry beef for you tonight.”

Anran looked at him and nodded her head heavily. However, just as he was about to get out of the car, she held his hand and leaned forward to kiss him on the lips when he turned his head around in confusion. Her lilac tongue pried open his teeth and entered his mouth. While he was still in shock, she wrapped her tongue around his and wrapped it around his tongue. Then, she pressed her lips tightly against his and said in a low voice, ” “Thank you!” She thanked him for his advice and for letting her walk out of that dead end.

Su Yicheng was never a passive person. He always liked to take the initiative, just like kissing.

He reached out and clasped an ran’s head tightly. He lifted her chin slightly with one hand to make her mouth open a little more so that he could kiss her deeper.

Sucking, entangling, and stirring, su Yicheng’s kiss today was not gentle, but a little eager and domineering, and the strength he used to hold her was also a little heavy. As he kissed her deeply, Anran let out a muffled groan. He kissed her very urgently and hugged her very tightly. Anran felt that she was almost out of breath and about to faint in his arms. Su Yicheng finally let her go and let her lean against his chest to catch her breath. He himself was also panting heavily, and he slowly calmed down as he hugged her.

The two of them hugged each other in the car for a while. When their breathing calmed down, they opened the door and got out of the car to go home.

When they got home, Anran naturally took su Yicheng’s bag and brought it to the study room with her. Su Yicheng took off his suit jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and went straight into the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of them.

Although Anran didn’t know how to cook, he was the one who cooked dinner every day, so she was a little embarrassed to eat. Therefore, recently, she had been very self-conscious and volunteered to help him. In the beginning, su Yicheng would still refuse, but he couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so in the end, he just let her be.

It was just that she really didn’t seem to know much. Every time she helped, this would always happen.

“Yicheng, how do we handle this beef?”

“Yicheng, why is this prawn still moving?”

“Yichen, do you cut the carrots like this or like that?”

She always had endless questions like this. It seemed that every time she came to help, it would make him even more flustered. However, he liked it. He liked this faint feeling of happiness and this faint warmth.

Su Yicheng’s cooking skills were really good, and he was excellent at both Chinese and Western food.

The two of them sat on either side of the bar counter, each having a plate of curry beef risotto. In order to match the mood of Western food, Anran had deliberately dimmed the light on the bar counter, and su Yicheng poured a little red wine for both of them.

Anran stared at him. &Quot; no drinking! &Quot; The doctor had already said that his stomach was not suitable for drinking too much. He usually had no choice but to socialize outside, but at home, she still hoped to take care of him. In addition, this person’s alcohol tolerance was not good at all. Last time, he even pretended to be drunk and acted like a scoundrel!

“A little bit.” Su Yicheng looked at her and asked for her opinion.

“You’re not allowed to drink!” Anran’s attitude was firm, and there was no room for negotiation. She reached out and took the wine from his hand, muttering, ” “Ye Ziwen was right back then. You’re a two-faced Wolf. Who knows if you’ll use alcohol to play dirty? I won’t let you have your way again!”

“Hahaha.” Su Yicheng laughed out loud. There were only the two of them in the room, and they were sitting face to face. Although she was mumbling, how could he not hear her clearly? He allowed her to take the red wine away and did not stop her.

The two of them chatted as they ate. After dinner, Anran was still the one who cleaned up the dishes. Su Yicheng had been a little worried about Technology City recently, so he didn’t get off work too late today. He had originally wanted to go to his parents ‘place to ask about the medical report, but he still had a lot of work to do. He had just brought it back from his office, so after dinner, su Yicheng went straight to his study.

After Anran cleaned up, she poured a cup of tea and brought it to su Yicheng. The reason he knew how to make tea was because su Yicheng said that he wasn’t used to drinking coffee. He had gotten used to drinking tea with his father and grandfather at home. However, su Yicheng didn’t tell her that he was used to drinking black coffee because she had put a lot of sugar in it!

After knocking on the door and placing the tea on the desk, su Yicheng looked up from his documents and gave her a gentle smile. &Quot; thank you. &Quot;

An ran replied with a smile, ” you’re welcome. &Quot;

Su Yicheng reached out and squeezed her little hand, saying, ” &Quot; I’ll probably work until very late tonight. If you’re tired, go to bed first. Don’t wait for me. &Quot;

Anran nodded and only said,”don’t work too late.” &Nbsp; After saying that, he left.

After coming out of the study, Anran didn’t immediately return to her room. Instead, she sat in the living room and turned on the TV, watching it silently. In fact, she wanted to talk to him, but he was too busy. Perhaps they could have a good talk when he came out after he was done with his work.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but Anran really felt like she didn’t have the cells in her body to watch TV. The screen was clearly very thrilling, but she still fell asleep as she watched.

When su Yicheng came out of his comfort zone and was about to pour himself another cup of tea to freshen himself up, he caught a glimpse of the TV playing in the living room. It was only when he walked closer that he saw the person sleeping on the sofa.

Su Yicheng shook his head, put the cup in his hand on the low table, turned off the TV with the remote control, and bent over to carry her back to the room. However, the moment his hand touched her, she slowly woke up and looked at him in a daze. She rubbed her eyes and asked, ” “You’re done with your work.”

Su Yicheng didn’t reply to her. He only said, ” why didn’t you go back to your room to sleep if you were tired? Didn’t I tell you to sleep first? ”

“I have something to tell you.”

&Quot; what did he say? ” su Yicheng asked.

Anran stared at him for a while before saying, ” &Quot; Yicheng, if I can’t work in the future, and no company wants me even if I want to, what will you do? ”

Almost without thinking, su Yicheng directly blurted out, ” “Then I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”

Anran stared at him for a while, then smiled with her eyes curved.
