First Marriage Then Love Chapter 69.4

Chapter 069 Part 4

The woman looked at Anran. She could not help but be stunned, then she laughed, and softly, she said, “Gu Anran, we meet again.”

Anran breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled at the woman, then said, “What a coincidence. Ling Ran also lives around here?” The person she met was none other than the woman she had met in the afternoon, just before the elevator company closed. Ling Ran.

Anran’s small head was thinking quickly. She had seen Ling Lin’s information. She remembered that Ling Lin didn’t live in this area.

“Yes, ah.” Ling Ran nodded. She seemed to see Anran’s doubt, then she said, “I am a person who moved out to live alone. I don’t live at home.”

“Oh,” Anran smiled and nodded, holding the eggplant, which she just handed it to Ling Ran. Politely, she asked, “Are you buying them to prepare dinner?”

Ling Ran smiled and nodded, jokingly, she said, “Ah, I live alone, cook for myself, for fear I feel really hungry.”

“Oh.” Anran smiled, and from the box, she picked a relatively good eggplant and put into the shopping cart. “A person living is like this.”

Ling Ran laughed. They pushed the cart and walked side by side.

“Ling Lin is still green at doing things. If there is something wrong with her, Gu Anran, forgive her.” Ling Ran said softly.

Anran only politely smiled. “Ling Lin is very smart.” Not much else to say, but she imagined Ling Ran’s face looked familiar, like she had seen it before, but where, she could not remember.

The two women were carrying large shopping bags out of the supermarket. When Anran had wanted to say goodbye in front of the supermarket, no one would have guessed that Ling Ran was actually living in the same community as their own, or in the same building, but she lived on the 18th floor, while she and Su Yi Cheng were on the 10th floor.

They walked hand in hand towards the building. On the road, they were laughing. Anran lamented, “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect us to live so close.”

“Oh, meeting with Gu Anran, we were destined to it,” Ling Ran turned around and looked at Anran, and said, “Do you remember? We have actually met.”

Anran quieted for a moment, “Really? Did we?” She didn’t remember, but she always felt that her face was very familiar. It seemed that they had met.

“The bathroom in front of a mall. I went into it but you came out, then we accidentally hit each other.” Ling Ran smiled, a gentle smile.

After she said it, Anran then remembered that day, before she went to the compound to see her in-laws that afternoon. She went to the mall to buy scarves. She really hit a cla.s.sical beauty. “So she was you, ah. River City is really small, ah!” So, after all, to have met, it was really destined.

“Yes, ah. It’s really small.” Ling Ran looked at her and laughed without any meaning.

Simultaneously, they entered the building. While waiting for the elevator, Anran’s phone sounded. It was Su Yi Cheng’s call.

“Still at work? Should I pick you up?” Su Yi Cheng’s voice was gentle. Listening to his voice, it was very comfortable.

Anran faintly smiled, “No. I came back early today. Now, I’m at the house door.”

“Your coming home early, the reason is not to prepare the meals to eat, right?” On the other side of the phone, Su Yi Cheng m.u.f.fled his laugh.

“Well, I can start slowly. I am a novice. It’s estimated that it’ll take hours to be done.”

“I’m still working. Hurry up, you may be able to do it along the way.” Su Yi Cheng said easily.

“You slowly drive back. Pay attention on the road, safety comes first along the way, and come back.” Anran told him. The most attention while driving was traffic safety.

“Alright.” Then, Su Yi Cheng severed the line.

Anran took off the phone. Her mouth formed an imperceptible smile.

“Boyfriend?” Ling Ran asked, turning around.

Anran nodded and said, “My husband.”

Ling Ran cleared her throat and understandingly nodded. Her face was painted with a smile, not much to say.

The two went into the elevator together. While the elevator was slowly rising, Ling Ran suddenly turned to Anran and said, “Gu Anran, can I call you Anran?”

Anran stunned. Although, she raised her eyebrows, she felt a little bit strange, but eventually, she nodded and said, “Of course.”

“Then, later, you can call me Ling Ran. We all live in the same building, whatever things happen, you can come look for me.” Ling Ran smiled.

“Ah, yes.” Anran nodded.

‘Ding–‘

When the elevator door opened at this time, Anran smiled at her and went out. Behind her, Ling Ran’s smile, at that moment before the elevator closed, was instantly restrained.

Su Yi Cheng came back. He saw some chaos in the kitchen. Vegetables, spread of eggs, fresh meat, and so many ingredients filled the entire gla.s.s units. The opened recipes book flatly was lying flatly on the bar. The water in the basin was still flowing, was.h.i.+ng up the small greens.

Anran stood in the center of the kitchen. Her hand was holding a kitchen knife. Her eyes were tightly shut, while waiting for the occasionally open-mouthed carp on the chopping block to stop bouncing.

When Su Yi Cheng watched the scene, he could not help but feel funny. His heart could not tell what he felt, some kind of satisfaction. He whispered, “Anran.”

Anran turned around, a faint smile on her face, and a little surprised at the moment, because she didn’t know when he came in. “You, you came back.”

“Can I help you?” He looked at her over the kitchen. Su Yi Cheng took the initiative to ask.

Anran, with an embarra.s.sed smile, nodded. The circ.u.mstances was beyond her expectations. It seemed that she really couldn’t clean up some.

Su Yi Cheng smiled and put his briefcase in the living room. He took off his suit jacket then placed it on the side of the sofa. One hand tugged his tie, the other hand stretched and untied the s.h.i.+rt cuffs. Edge to edge, he walked towards the kitchen. He glanced at the bar where the recipes book was opened. He smiled helplessly.

Anran was a little bit embarra.s.sed. She laughed. “I, I did not how to cook. I have never been in the kitchen before.”

Su Yi Cheng smiled. He did not speak, approaching her step by step.

Anran didn’t know what he wanted to do. Step by step, she walked back. She was finally cornered, standing beside the refrigerator in the corner. There was no retreating further back. Anran gulped, then said, “You, you, what you want to do? You want to help me, or you can go out. Well, I, I am a person who should be able to cook. Although I do it a little slower, but you can go to the library to work on files, or in the living room to watch the television. I, I’ll try to hurry up. “Anran stuttered. Her voice was trembling slightly, even the discourse was incoherent.

Su Yi Cheng did not speak, just smiled widely towards her while approaching her.

Anran thought what would happen, and then in the ‘resistance’, she closed her eyes, ready to accept ‘reality’. Anran tightly closed her eyes for a moment, but that antic.i.p.ated kiss did not come. She heard Su Yi Cheng’s m.u.f.fled laugh. His hand was over her waist, doing something behind her lower back, and then went to the something behind her neck.

Anran suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at him and saw Su Yi Cheng’s hand holding the piece of string. He just tied her ap.r.o.n.

Anran felt her little face was reddish, shocked to find that she had been played. She felt angry, then she pushed him, but he held her hand. Su Yi Cheng closed the proximity between their body. He pressed the whole person close to him. On his mouth hung a laugh, deliberately, he asked, “What? Do you expect me to kiss you?”

Anran felt a little blush in her cheeks. Her heart cursed his cunning move, her mouth didn’t want to admit it, foolishly, she said, “I didn’t. You think too much.”

Su Yi Cheng laughed, reaching her waist and put his arm around, so that their bodies were pressed together and fit tightly. He smiled cunningly,” I would like it, you are not just waiting for me to kiss you, no?”

Anran turned her head down and whispered, “No.” Her face was red like a ripe red apple too.

Su Yi Cheng lowly laughed. She looked so stubborn and awkward, he felt that she was very cute.

Anran was hugged by him very uncomfortably, so she turned around and was about to struggle free, when he turned her around and pressed her lips down. His lips were accurately latched onto her lips. All of her dissatisfied protests was swallowed back into her mouth. His hands were stroking her in the back, and he was, sucking her lips. His kiss was very anxious, very warm, not like the usual tenderness. Anran was melting while she was kissed, slowly, she raised her hands and put them around his neck.

“Ding dong!”

At this time. the doorbell rang, which disturbed the kissing and embracing couple.

Anran suddenly recovered quickly. Her hands pushed Su Yi Cheng, blus.h.i.+ng almost red as blood, she glanced at him, and turned her back to see Su Yi Cheng’s disheveled clothes.

Su Yi Cheng lowly laughed, because of the kiss, his mood became very pleasant.

“Ding dong!”

The people outside obviously didn’t know how intense the experience of the inside of the room. The clear and melodious ringing doorbell continued.

Anran was more annoyed, then she laughed, snappily rebuking him, “Don’t, go and open the door.”

Su Yi Cheng pleasantly nodded, thus while holding the ap.r.o.n, he walked towards the front door, and even ignored the s.h.i.+rt which was wrinkled because of the kissing. His hand opened the door and his smile froze the next second, when he looked at the person in front of the door. Abruptly, his smile faded away. He looked coldly at the person outside, instead of indifference or pleasure.

Ling Ran stood in front of the door, dressed casually with a smiling face. She watched Su Yi Cheng, her eyes didn’t blink at the moment, watching.
