Chapter 40: Preparation for eting With the In-Laws
At noon, Anran ran to the company’s canteen practically right when alti started. She hurriedly ordered so food, then sat down and started wolfing the food down.
The night prior, she had barely eaten while with Lin Li, and then she had been tangled up with Su Yicheng for the remainder of the night. Then, she had overslept because of that “morning exercise” she did with Su Yicheng, so she hadn’t had any ti for breakfast. By now, she was so hungry that she felt a little dizzy. She had planned on sketching the design in her office, but her stomach started rumbling so furiously that she couldn’t focus on anything else.
When people are hungry, almost everything seems delicious. She used to think that the food in the cafeteria was bland and tasteless, yet it tasted surprisingly delicious on this day.
A call from Su Yicheng ca in at this ti. Anran continued eating and picked up the phone without checking the caller ID. “Hello, who is it?”
“Why aren’t you at ho? I just called the ho phone and no one answered,” Su Yicheng asked with a smile on the other side of the phone.
“Um.” Anran froze and glanced at the caller ID displayed on the phone screen to confirm that it was him. Anran’s face turned bright red as she rembered the last night and that morning’s events. “I-I needed to go to work today, s-since its not the weekend.”
“Didn’t I leave you a note?” Su Yicheng asked.
“Note?” Anran was confused. What note was he talking about? Where did the note co from?
Su Yicheng sighed on the other end of the phone and understood that she hadn’t seen the note he had left for her on the counter, then asked, “Did you eat breakfast after getting up in the morning?”
As she ate the food on her plate with chopsticks, Anran muttered, “I-I woke up later than 10 o’clock. How could I have had ti to eat breakfast?” Her face was flushed, and her tone was a little resentful.
Su Yicheng burst out laughing over the phone; he was in a great mood.
Anran was a little embarrassed and offended by being laughed at. All she wanted was to hang up the phone, so she asked sowhat awkwardly, “D-Do you still have anything to say? If n-not, then I’m going to continue eating.”
......
Su Yicheng smiled as he thought of the last night and that morning. He was certainly a little too ravenous and demanding of her, considering that she was a virgin and it was her first ti. As he thought of this, he felt guilty inside, and he apologized. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Next ti I will be more careful so you won’t get so worn out. ”
“I-I’m going to eat now.” Anran felt embarrassed and desperately wanted to hang up.
“Haha, wait!” Su Yicheng called out to her before she hung up the phone and said, “Wait for at the company gates after work. We will return to the compound at night. My parents and my grandfather all want to see you.”
“I-I’m fine going there by myself. I drove over here today,” Anran refused. After the last night and that morning, she didn’t know how to face him. rely thinking about it made her feel embarrassed.
“Do you know where it is?” Su Yicheng asked with amusent.
“Uh.” Anran froze, then rembered that Su Yicheng didn’t live with his parents, so she didn’t know where the Su family’s residence was!
“Just wait for by the company gates in the evening. I still have so unfinished business here, so I’m hanging up.” After he said this, he didn’t wait for Anran to answer; he sounded like he was talking to the people next to him, then he hung up the phone.
“Special Assistant Su, we need you to sign this docunt.” Secretary Zheng placed a docunt in front of her.
Su Yicheng put his phone in his pocket and looked over the docunts Secretary Zheng had handed to her. It was about the construction plan for the city governnt’s building and was approved by the municipal party committee last week. This project was being temporarily managed by him.
“Did Special Assistant Su just finish talking to his mada on the phone?” Secretary Zheng asked in a sowhat gossipy tone.
A few days prior, he had been shocked when Su Yicheng had told him that he had gotten married. It was all too sudden. He had been by Su Yicheng’s side for almost two years, yet he had never seen him show interest in any woman, and he barely had any phone dates, either. So when Su Yicheng had suddenly dropped the bomb that day and said that he was married, he was startled. He had seen that woman before, and she wasn’t particularly pretty, but she was elegant and classy.
Su Yicheng glanced at him, nodded, and said, “Yes.”
“When do you plan on holding the wedding? I can inform everyone to prepare the red envelopes in advance,” Secretary Zheng said with a smile.
Su Yicheng took out a pen and signed his signature boldly, then handed the docunt back to Secretary Zheng and rely said, “We are not planning on holding a wedding for the ti being.”
“Uh.” Secretary Zheng looked at him strangely. With his family background, how could there not be a wedding?
Su Yicheng looked at the docunts on the table and asked, “What ti is the city committee’s eting in the afternoon?”
“2:30.”
Su Yicheng nodded. This eting was probably going to be about the opening and construction of tech city. After looking at his watch, Su Yicheng stood up. Mayor Wei just called him and asked him to head over there. He probably wanted to discuss the afternoon eting.
Anran was still a little nervous because she was going to see Su family’s parents for the first ti in the evening. When she went to the bathroom after lunch and she saw that the silk scarf was still around her neck, she froze. Then, she rembered that she originally intended to give it to Su Yijiao as a present. Thinking about this, Anran quickly headed to the shopping mall again during her lunch break. At noon, Lin Li called and asked for the phone number of a forr classmate. They hadn’t set up a reunion for so long after graduation, so she wanted to open one this year.
Lin Li’s phone call didn’t co in at the right ti, and it reminded Anran of that erotic lingerie. Anran felt so resentful that she wanted to kill Lin Li.
“Lin Li, how could you treat like this after I fed you and chauffeured you around? Is this how you thank ?” Anran gritted her teeth as she spoke into the phone.
Lin Lin froze for a mont, then said innocently, “I’m just asking for Zhang Qianqian’s phone. How could I hurt you?”
Anran grabbed the phone, looked at the people around the mall, then lowered his voice and said, “What did you buy last night?”
Lin Li froze over the phone, then asked with excitent, “Did you wear it last night? How was it? Did Mr. Su transform into a werewolf?”
“Y-You keep your voice down!” Anran practically roared and had almost ruptured Lin Li’s eardrums. Since she was afraid that others would hear, Anran rushed to the bathroom in the mall in front of her. “I really want to kill you for doing this to . You have no idea how awkward it was last night. My pajamas fell into the water, and I even asked him to bring this in. You don’t know how much I want to die right there. You can pretty much guess what happened next.”
“Haha, Anzi, you have to thank . I helped you make such a huge step forward in your sexual relationship,” Lin Li said proudly over the phone.
“Get outta here. I’m not talking nonsense. I’ll be shopping for a present, but the next ti I see you, you’re dead,” Anran said mockingly.
“Um, didn’t you buy a gift yesterday already?” Lin Li rembered that Anran had bought two scarves last night and said they were a eting gift for her mother-in-law and her auntie.
Anran said resentfully, “It’s all your fault.”
“It seems like you had a wild last night.” Lin Li burst out laughing.
“You just wait for to deal with you.” Anran blushed as she said this over the phone, then hung up the phone. As she turned around and tried to leave, she accidentally bumped into soone who ca from behind.
“Ah, sorry.” Anran apologized reflexively.
