First Marriage Then Love Chapter 69.1

Chapter 069 Part 1

Su Yi Cheng sent Anran to ‘sincere’ building just on time, at 8:55. When she came upstairs, the clock punched 9:00, being right on time.

She put the package in her hand in the cupboard desk. Before she switched on the computer, the phone on the table, at this time, rang. It was Lin who called her.

Anran took it by her left hand, while finis.h.i.+ng the data beside her, saying, “Madam, early in the morning, you’ve called me. What instructions will you give me, ah?”

Unlike her usual cheerful tone on the phone, today, she was a little bit different. Lin was silent for a moment before she said, “Ann.”

“Yes?” She seemed to sense that there was something wrong, so Anran asked, “What, what happened?”

On the other side of the phone, Lin sighed, and then she asked, “Did you know? When Mo Fei betrayed you, how did you feel,ah?” Her tone sounded hollow.

Anran was stunned for a moment. Her heart felt some kind of a vague bad feeling. Her brows wrinkled, tentatively, she asked, “Lin, what is wrong between you and Cheng Xiang?”

There was silence, there was only the sound of her breathing. Anran was clutching the phone, frowning hard.

A long time later, Lin, who Anran thought was not on the phone, finally spoke up, “I saw a text message on his cell phone. It was very ambiguous, very affectionate.”

Anran was surprised for a moment, she did not want to say that Cheng Xiang betrayed her, or that she did not even believe that Cheng Xiang would betray her!

“Maybe you are mistaken? Cheng Xiang should not be like that man!” They knew each other for nearly 10 years. She viewed Cheng Xiang as gentle and harmless, including the fact that he was good to Lin. He also looked at her full of love in his eyes. To be honest, it was really hard to believe that Cheng Xiang would betray Lin, not to mention that they already had children, and their relations.h.i.+p, in a few days, they were ready to get married. “Did you ask him? Did he confess?”

“No, he is on a business trip. He forgot to bring the phone.” Because he did not carry the cell phone, so he did not see such a message. She did not believe that Cheng Xiang was such a kind of person, but the messages above, indeed, it could not be argued.

Anran was silent for a moment before saying, “Lin, I think you should ask him to come back, I fear it is just a misunderstanding. You and Cheng Xiang have been together for years. What kind of person he is, you should know him better. He’s told you what his feelings are. Can you really believe that he would betray you, betray your feelings of 10 years? ”

There was silence. It should be a good day before Anran heard a voice whisper from the phone. On the other side of the phone, it seemed that Lin was forcing a smile, and said, “Ah, you have to work. You are busy. I’m all right.” Then, directly, Lin cut off the phone.

Anran was holding her cell phone, looking at the screen which was going dark again, and her heart felt a little worry. When she was just about to call Lin back, suddenly, there came a knock at the door. She looked up and saw Huang Dexing standing in the doorway with a smiling face.

Anran put the phone down, then stood up and asked, ” Director, did you find me for something?”

Huang Dexing motioned her to sit down. He pulled a chair to sit down in front of her. He smiled and said, “Su Tezhu sent you this morning, right?”

Hearing him ask about it, Anran felt a little bit unnatural. She nodded and asked again, ” Director, did you find me for something?”

“Oh, nothing,” Huang Dexing smiled. Suddenly, his smile disappeared and he looked slightly serious. He said, “But, you are too reckless. Such a big thing as marriage, how could you not give notice?”

Anran was ashamed. Originally, her and Su Yi Cheng’s approaching licensing, that speed simply was amazing. She had no time to give notice to everyone! And afterwards, there was no wedding, only dinner with both families, but it was still a plan. There was no way to give the necessary notice.

Anran, a little bit embarra.s.sed, smiled and said, “Oh, we, we have trouble.”

Huang Dexing nodded and smiled. His face became gentle, like some emotion flowed, and said, “Anran ah, when you came to the company, it was more than six years. You figure out, I can be your teacher for half of it.”
Anran looked at him and nodded. It was more than half. When she came out of school, even from the initial drawings not crossing the border, and now, independently, she designed a building and community. All this, seriously speaking, she really could not do it without his guidance. Although he sometimes behaved very strictly, his speech was also not unreasonable, but a strict teacher was a great day ah! On this point, she was grateful.

Seeing her nod, Huang Dexing smiled and then said, “Since I am a teacher for half, that you married, I should represent a teacher, so be it, at night at ‘Kai Long’*), I ask you and Su Tezhu to have dinner? I’ll wish you a happy marriage.”

In fact, this was his purpose today, and who was Su Yi Cheng, a few years later, he would be River City’s leader! Also, now, according to sources, he may take over Technology City’s case. Until some points, he was worried about how to make his relations.h.i.+p with Su Yi Cheng closer, and never thought that Su Yi Cheng was Anran’s husband. This way, it just gave him reasonable grounds to lay a good relations.h.i.+p with him, maybe at that time, when the construction of the science and technology city began, he could have a share.  *) Kai Long : a restaurant name

Anran was silent for a moment. Though she was not clever, but she could see the meaning of the so-called dinner. In this line of work, for six years, she really saw a lot of that commercial and political dinner. Chinese people seemed to always like to talk about things at the dinner table, and it would be essential to have wine, but wine always made the most vulnerable people say the wrong, wrong thing things.

Seeing her silent for a long time, Huang Dexing reminded her. He called, “Anran?”

Anran answered quickly, showing a slightly more apologetic smile. “Excuse me, Director, Yi Cheng said he had something today. It is estimated, he could not make it to dinner, but still, I thank Director’s blessing for us, thank you!” Although she did not know whether Su Yi Cheng would go to dinner much, but under circ.u.mstances which she needed to ask for his advice, she would not promise anything outside his behalf. After all, his ident.i.ty was too special!

Huang Dexing did not give up, then he asked, “So, ah, what about tomorrow?”

“It’s off time. He really is busy.” Anran said without blinking an eye.

Huang Dexing looked at her for a moment, suddenly, he laughed and said, “Anran, you are not taking me into account, ah.”

“Director is joking, having regard to what I have just said, recently, Yi Cheng really is quite busy. He always comes back in the middle of the night.” Anran said apologetically, “Either way, next time when he is free, I as his wife will ask Director. Director can be considered a teacher. For so many years, you’ve helped to cultivate and care for me. ”

Seeing her so, Huang Dexing knew it was not good to say anything more. He looked at her eyes, smiled and nodded, “Well, yes, then how about the design, tomorrow, you should submit the draft.”

Anran nodded and replied, “Today, I’ve almost finished it.”

“Ah, give me the drawing after you’ve done. I’ll take a good look at it. If you have any questions, ask me.” Huang Dexing stood up, “Well, nothing’s the matter, you make a good job of it.”

Anran nodded and sent him out of the office. And just as she watched him leave, and when she ready to close the door instantly, at the opposite office, in front of her, there was Xiao Xiao. She saw Xiao Xiao’s eyes which stared fiercely at her, then, Xaio Xiao turned, and ‘Bang!’. She banged the door. Anran was just baffled. She did not know what it is she had done to offend her, that Xiao Xiao looked like she wanted to eat her. But, what the other wanted to do, how could she stop it when it was only an air. Naturally, it was worthwhile with air, with that elusive burst of angry thing, she turned directly into the office, then sat back at her desk again.

After Huang Dexing’s interruption, then Anran used the phone to call back Lin, but Lin’s phone had been switched off. Anran frowned, then she called the home phone number, there came a cold, mechanical voice from the telephone, which prompted that the phone call could not be connected. Anran knew, fearing that the telephone line was also pulled out by Lin. In her heart, the fear expanded even more.

Finally, coming to noon, Anran had wanted to go to where Lin was, because, after all, she worried. Lin usually was not a careless person, if there was really something, but in fact, she had a very vulnerable side. She and Cheng Xiang had established a long-term relations.h.i.+p, not long after, when Cheng Xiang and her quarreled, she suddenly disappeared for a week. Before that, there was no sign. She did not contact her family, did not know her whereabouts during that week. Lin was completely cut off from him, and that was that for a week. Because of fear, Lin’s weight lost 10 kilos. The people around her were unhappy, not even angry.

Seeing that, her work finished at noon time. The site called at this time, saying that the design was in question, and asked her to immediately have a look. This design did not work if it was directly related to the progress of the project problems, etc. She had hastily packed her bag and went out at the next moment. When she went out, she didn’t even close the office door.
