Su Yicheng walked out holding Anran’s hand, looked at his watch, and said, ” “Let’s go, I’ll take you to a good place.”

Anran was still in a daze. When she heard this, she nodded half a beat later. &Quot; okay. &Quot;

The car finally stopped in front of a high-class residential area. Anran turned her head and looked at him, puzzled. &Quot; why did you bring me here? ”

Su Yicheng smiled and didn’t say anything. He got out of the car, opened the door for her, and reached out his hand like a gentleman.”Let’s go, I’ll take you to see.”

Although she was confused, Anran still let him lead her into the building. In fact, Anran actually knew about this community. After all, she was in this line of work.

At the beginning, more than half of the residential area had been sold before it opened for business. In just two or three days, it was all sold out. Such a performance had exploded in the industry. At that time, she had just started her internship at ‘sincerity’. She still remembered that the company had specially held a mobilization meeting for this and even analyzed the reasons for their success in depth.

When they entered the elevator, Anran still couldn’t help but ask, ” “Are you here to see someone?”

Su Yicheng smiled and shook his head. &Quot; No. &Quot;

An ran was even more confused. If he wasn’t here to see her, then what was he here for? Enjoy the scenery and the moon?

Looking at her puzzled look, su Yicheng couldn’t help but laugh silently. He reached out and pressed the elevator button. Just like the apartment over there, he also chose the 10th floor. This was a height that was neither too high nor too low, so he didn’t even have to worry about the occasional power outage or elevator malfunction, because this kind of height wasn’t too high.

Ding! Ding! Ding! The elevator stopped when it reached the tenth floor.

Anran was still confused, but she still let him hold her hand. Then, she saw him take out the key from his pocket and hand it to her. He pouted, indicating for her to open the door with the key.

Anran took the keys, feeling strange. As she opened the door, she kept turning her head to look at him. She wasn’t sure what was going on.

......

The door opened when Anran turned the key. She pushed open the unlocked door and saw that the interior was still a little messy. It seemed to still be under renovation, and the newspapers were scattered all over the floor.

Anran turned her head in a daze. &Quot; where is this? ”

Su Yicheng pushed the door open and pushed her in. The layout of the house had been roughly renovated, and it was not as cold as the apartment over there. At the entrance, there was a tall counter in pure white. The color of the decoration here was much warmer than the cold color scheme over there. The wallpaper was light yellow, and the background of the large TV was a hand-drawn beautiful blooming rose. The Emerald green leaves set off the gorgeous rose. It was a beautiful picture.

The kitchen had the same style as the other apartment. It was semi-open, and the dining table was still a bar counter, but the kitchen here was much larger than the other one. In addition to the original cabinets, there were many large glass counters, which were probably used to store red wine. The bar counter here was also much longer. There were three red bar stools in front of the bar counter, and a Round Crystal Chandelier hung from them. This style was 70% similar to that of a bar.

The sofa and other furniture had not been placed in the large living room, making the entire living room seem a little empty.

“This ... Is your house?” An ran asked in disbelief. As far as she knew, the house price here wasn’t low when it opened for sale. It could even be said to be very high, and it wasn’t something that ordinary people could afford.

Su Yicheng pinched her nose in amusement and corrected her, ” “It’s not my house. This will be our home from now on. It’s not just mine, but yours as well! We’ll move in a few days after the renovation is done.”

An ran took a long time to digest everything he had just told her. It was really a little unreal. Although this was not a villa, it was definitely a luxury house.

It was not easy to digest all the content, but the question came again. &Quot; why, why do you want to move so suddenly? ” He had never mentioned it before, and the apartment he lived in was quite good. Although it couldn’t compare to this place, the environment and everything else could be considered first-class. Or perhaps, he suddenly said that he wanted to move out because of Ling LAN?

As he thought about it, he asked the same question without even knowing it, ” is it because of Ling LAN? ” Her voice was soft, a little muffled, and a little unhappy.

“An ran.” Su Yicheng called out to her, turned her body over, and reached out to lift her chin, making her look at him. His eyes were fixed on her, and he asked, ” “Tell me, what do you want to know?”

Anran stared into his deep, Starry Eyes. After a while, she asked, ” “You guys, why did you guys break up?”

Su Yicheng looked at her. Why did they break up? His thoughts seemed to go back to that summer seven years ago.

Summer in Jiang city was very hot and stuffy. The sun was scorching and the temperature was continuously high. There was no wind at all, and it seemed to be roasting people.

Su Yicheng slowly drove the car that the county party Committee had assigned to him back to Jiangcheng. After he graduated from University, he was directly assigned to the urban planning Bureau in Lin County. From the initial ordinary civil servant to the current Deputy Director of the planning Bureau, su Yicheng spent three years. During these three years, he relied on himself to achieve his current position step by step. Of course, his smooth promotion was not completely unrelated to his family. After all, many of the city and county cadres were old comrades and old friends of his grandfather and father’s generation. They didn’t give him much help, but he didn’t face any obstacles along the way, so his official career was smooth sailing.

Lin County was a County attached to Jiang city. It was more than 100 kilometers away from the city center of Jiang city, and it would take nearly an hour and a half by car on the highway.

Recently, he had been busy with the basic level research and hadn’t returned to Jiangcheng for two weeks. Today, the work on hand had finally come to an end, and the next day happened to be the weekend, so su Yicheng packed his things early and drove back.

He called ye Ziwen on the way. There seemed to be something that he needed his advice on.

The call connected, and ye Ziwen picked it up after three rings. Before su Yicheng could speak, ye Ziwen asked in a lazy and casual tone, ” &Quot; Deputy Chief su, what’s the matter? I don’t have any illegal buildings that need you to seal up and forcefully demolish them. &Quot;

Su Yicheng chuckled. &Quot; don’t make fun of me. Are you free in the afternoon? come with me to a place, I might need your opinion. &Quot;

“What place?” Whether he was free or not was secondary. The main point of the gossip was the place he was going to.

Su Yicheng didn’t want to hide it, so he said frankly, ” &Quot; I’m preparing to propose to Ling LAN. Come and help me pick out a ring in the afternoon. Give me some suggestions. &Quot;

“Get married!” Ye Ziwen was a little shocked by his words. &Quot; you’re only 25 years old. Isn’t it too early to get married now? ”

“Is that so?” Su Yicheng didn’t think much of it. &Quot; we’re going to be together in the future anyway, and I don’t plan on breaking up. What’s the difference between getting married or not? ” Two days ago, his mother suddenly called him to tell him that uncle Ling had mentioned their marriage to Ling LAN. This was because they felt that Ling LAN was a girl. A 25-year-old girl didn’t seem young at all.

In fact, he didn’t care about the marriage, because he knew that he would spend the rest of his life with this person. In fact, getting married earlier or later was just a matter of formality. It was only a matter of time. Since the Ling family had already said so, then there was nothing wrong with holding the wedding in advance. Actually, before this, it had been half a month since he last saw Ling LAN. Recently, he had been busy with the documents and ‘suggestions’ from the city, while Ling LAN was preparing to open her boutique. Both of them were very busy.

“You’ve really thought it through?” Ye Ziwen asked again to confirm. He always felt that marriage was a matter for men after they were thirty years old. It was too early to talk about marriage in their twenties!

Ignoring his words, su Yicheng directly said, ” &Quot; I’ll be at your company in about an hour. Help me check online for any nice diamond ring designs. &Quot; Then, without waiting for his reply, she hung up the phone.

He picked up his phone and pulled out Ling Lan’s number. He called her directly, and the call connected very quickly. However, no one picked up even after ringing for a long time. He let the ring tone finish playing, and a cold voice came from the other side of the phone, saying that no one was picking up for the time being. Su Yi hung up the phone after a while. He didn’t think too much about it, and just assumed that she was busy again. She was prepared to buy a ring with ye Ziwen later and head directly to her boutique shop in the city that had not been renovated yet.

Under the advice of ye Ziwen and his lousy military counselor, su Yicheng finally listened to the jewelry store’s salesperson’s suggestion and chose a very classic but also very good-looking style. After putting the ring into the pocket of his suit, su Yicheng went to the florist to buy a bouquet of bright red roses under the instructions of ye Ziwen, the lousy military advisor. He spent a lot of money and the staff wrapped the bouquet up beautifully, preparing to take it to Ling Lan’s shop.

Because it was a pedestrian street, the car could only be parked at the corner of the street outside, so in the end, su Yicheng could only hold a large bouquet of roses in his hand and walk towards Ling Lan’s shop under everyone’s strange gazes. On the other hand, ye Ziwen was already laughing so hard that his stomach was cramping. He completely ignored his sharp eyes that were enough to kill. Su Yicheng’s heart was filled with a hundred regrets. How could he believe this kid’s words? holding such a large bouquet of roses, he simply wanted to make him a laughingstock.

It wasn’t a short journey, but su Yicheng quickened his pace and took less than five minutes. From the window outside, it was empty inside. The newspapers and paint cans were scattered all over the floor. Su Yicheng was just about to knock on the door, but the moment his hand touched the door, it was pushed open.

Ye Ziwen was about to push it in, but su Yicheng stopped him with one hand.

“Why?” Ye Ziwen looked at him with a strange expression.

Su Yicheng reached out and touched his nose, then said with a slightly unnatural expression, ” “You, you can go back first.” Thinking about how he would have to watch her propose to Ling LAN later, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Ye Ziwen was stunned for a moment before she immediately reacted. She slapped his hand away in amusement and said,”Are you planning to burn the bridge after crossing it?”

&Quot; your bridge didn’t seem to be of any use. The ring was picked by the waiter. &Quot; Su Yicheng said.

The corner of ye Ziwen’s mouth twitched. He pointed at the flowers on his hand and said firmly, ” do you think Ling LAN would care about your ring? I think she would like flowers more than the ring. If you don’t believe me, you can try it. &Quot;

Su Yicheng rolled his eyes at him, then pushed the door open and went in first. She didn’t seem to be downstairs, but the door was open, so she should be nearby or had just gone out.

Su Yicheng took out his phone and called her. Just as the call connected, Ling Lan’s phone rang at the same time. It was a beautiful piano piece, her favorite song.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng found her phone behind a plastic bag and frowned slightly. Her phone was still there, but where did that person go?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard ye Ziwen say,”Is he upstairs?”

Pushing open the partition door, there was a narrow staircase passage inside. It wasn’t big, but it led directly upstairs. She turned to ye Ziwen and said, ” wait for me here. &Quot;

Ye Ziwen shrugged his shoulders indifferently and did not say anything.

Before she went up, she specially tidied her clothes. She held the large bouquet of roses in one hand and the diamond ring she had bought earlier in the other. He couldn’t tell what kind of feeling he was feeling at the moment, but it was inevitable that he was nervous.

He wasn’t a romantic person, and he didn’t know how to say sweet words, but today he wanted to say to her, ” marry me. Let them go through the next few decades together hand in hand. Let’s go through thick and thin together. Maybe he can’t give her the best life, but he will try his best to make her live a better life!

Just as su Yicheng was thinking about how to propose to her later, a faint sound came from the door on the second floor. However, that voice ...

&Quot; mm ... Mm ... Ah!... &Quot; There was a woman’s light breathing and a man’s low growl in that voice!

Su Yicheng’s hand that was holding the Rose subconsciously tightened, and the words he had originally thought of disappeared. He recognized the voice-he had just spoken to Ling LAN on the phone this morning! Stepping on the last step, the door seemed to have not been closed in time because of the rush just now. At this moment, it was ajar, revealing a large area of charming spring light.

There was no bed in the room. On the floor, a naked man and woman were entangled with each other. Their bodies were stained with dust to varying degrees, but they did not care. They were so immersed in the great pleasure that they did not even notice when the door was pushed open and someone had arrived.

The Rose that was originally held in su Yicheng’s hand was now tightly grasped in his hand, and his slightly excited mood now seemed a little ridiculous in the face of such betrayal.

Don’t think about secretly proposing upstairs. I’ve brought a camera and I’m ready to take this historical moment for you! &Quot; Behind him, ye Ziwen came up with a smile. When he saw him standing at the door with a rose in his hand, he could not help but ask,”Ling LAN isn’t here?”

Su Yicheng didn’t turn around, nor did he say anything. He just stared at the two people in the room. However, the two people who were fighting fiercely in the room suddenly stopped because of ye Ziwen’s words. The two of them turned around at the same time, and when they saw su Yicheng standing at the door, Ling Lan’s face instantly turned pale. She looked at him and trembled in fear. &Quot; ah, ah Chen! &Quot;

In contrast to Ling Lan’s panic and fear, Zhou han, who was at the side, appeared much calmer. He calmly pulled himself away from her body, grabbed the pants that he had taken off just now because of their lovemaking, and calmly put them on. Then, he grabbed his white shirt and wrapped it around Ling LAN.

Su Yicheng looked at them with a sneer. One was the woman he was going to propose to today, and the other was the brother he had grown up with, but today, they had both betrayed him in such a way!

He looked at the beautiful bouquet of roses in his hand and felt that it was ridiculous. He shook his head in self-mockery and let go of the bouquet in his hand. The bouquet of roses fell to the ground. The petals scattered and fell on the cold floor due to gravity.

Su Yicheng glanced at them one last time, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Anran listened to him in a daze. She didn’t expect that they would end up like this. He seemed to be even more miserable than her. He was betrayed by his girlfriend who added him as a friend. He lost his love and friendship!

Anran’s heart ached for him as she thought about this. She reached out and rubbed his face. She had experienced this before, so she knew how hard it was to bear and how much it hurt.

Su Yicheng chuckled and reached out to place his hand on hers. He looked at her gently and shook his head. &Quot; it’s all in the past. &Quot;

Anran nodded. Then, she suddenly thought of something and asked, ” &Quot; Ling LAN was the one who betrayed her first. Why does she want to turn back now? ”

Su Yicheng shook his head. &Quot; I don’t know, but no matter what she wants to do, it has nothing to do with me. Right now, she’s just someone I know, that’s all.”

An ran nodded with a smile.

Su Yicheng looked at her, reached out, and touched her cheek. He looked at her gently and affectionately, then said lightly, ” if there’s anything else you want to know, just ask. Don’t keep it to yourself, understand? ” Hmm?”

Anran turned her head to look at the house that had been half-renovated and asked him seriously, ” “When did you buy this place? is it because of me that you’re in a hurry to move here?”

With a faint smile, he half-hugged her and showed her around the house, saying, ” “This apartment belongs to Ziwen company. He’s already reserved one for me before the opening sale. I didn’t move in before because I’m used to living there and I live alone. The apartment over there is just right, but this one is a little too big.”

It was indeed very big. The house that used to have four bedrooms and two living rooms had been changed to three bedrooms and one living room. The original study room had been doubled in size, and the dining room was directly connected to the living room, making the living room look much bigger. The master bedroom was twice the size of the other apartment, and it faced South directly to the balcony. In addition, there were guest rooms and children’s rooms in addition to the master bedroom.

&Quot; I already planned to move here after we got married. I asked Ziwen to arrange the renovations after we got married. However, because of Ling Lan’s matter this time, the progress of the renovation has been sped up. I didn’t want you to be troubled by this. &Quot; Su Yicheng said.

He pushed open the door to the study and saw two mahogany desks of the same size on both sides. Behind them was a counter of the same size. Anran turned her head in a daze and saw su Yicheng holding her hand with a smile as he said, ” &Quot; in the future, you don’t have to put your drawings on the low table in the living room. I specially asked him to make the study bigger. This way, it’ll be enough for the two of us. &Quot;

Anran looked at him, and her nose felt a little sour. It was difficult for her not to be touched by his thoughtfulness. She had thought that marriage was just finding someone to live with and live under the same roof with. Everything else would not change. Originally, her attitude towards this marriage was just to find someone to cooperate with. If he wanted to sign a prenuptial contract, she could agree to it unconditionally. However, the marriage that she didn’t have any expectations of gave her an unexpected feeling of happiness. It gave her the illusion that their marriage wasn’t a cooperation, but the ending of their love after falling in love!

His eyes suddenly felt a little hot. He averted his eyes and did not look at her. He reached out and wandered over the large mahogany desk. Tears flowed down his cheeks, but the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

Su Yicheng reached out and pulled her over. When he saw the tear stains on her face, he frowned slightly. He didn’t bring her here to see her cry, so he reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. &Quot; why are you crying? ” You don’t like it?”

Anran quickly shook her head. How could she not like it? she liked it so much that she was happy. She couldn’t help but ask, ” “Why? why are you so good to me?” The voice was slightly nasal.

Su Yicheng was a little amused by her small appearance, and he couldn’t help but laugh. He rubbed her head with his big palm and said, ” “You’re my wife. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well?”

An ran burst out laughing and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Su Yicheng reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. He had brought her here to make it clear that he didn’t want her to be troubled by those boring things again, and he didn’t want to see her sitting in a corner like a fool and feeling wronged again. She was his wife, but the reason for their Union back then, whether it was too absurd or too sloppy, wasn’t important. What was important was that from now on, she was his wife, the person who would spend the rest of her life with him, even if she didn’t really love him now. Even if there was still a hidden reminiscence and nostalgia for the past in a corner of her heart. Because he believed that she was just like him, someone who had finally gotten married. In that case, let them have a married relationship.

Looking at him, Anran seemed to have made up her mind. She asked, ” “Do you want to know about me and Mo Fei?”

Su Yicheng looked at her and felt a little happy that she was finally willing to talk to him about this matter. However, looking at her expression, he knew that the wound hadn’t fully recovered yet. In fact, he had deeply experienced this feeling before. Some things had happened so long ago that he had forgotten them, so long that he felt that everything was fine and had already let go, but when he talked about it again and faced it again, the wound that had been left behind still ached faintly, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t let it go. It was just that the feeling and pain of being betrayed was too deep. Even when he thought about it many years later, it was still vivid and shocking.

He touched her face and asked gently, ” “Are you willing to tell me?”

Anran nodded with certainty. &Quot; if you want to know, I’ll tell you. &Quot; He could tell her everything, so in exchange, she should tell him everything he wanted to know.

Su Yicheng laughed and looked at her for a long time before he shook his head and said, ” &Quot; I think there’s something I want to do more right now, and it’s a hundred times better than listening to those boring stories. &Quot;

An ran was confused. &Quot; what is it? ”

Su Yicheng smiled and didn’t say a word. Instead, he told her with his actions that he would step forward, hold her face, and kiss her passionately.

As the two of them rubbed against each other, su Yicheng pressed his lips against hers and said, ” there are some unhappy things that you don’t want to tell me, so you don’t have to force yourself to tell me. In the future, remember to share with me the things that you think are happy, because I will do the same. &Quot;

Anran closed her eyes and responded to his kiss. She nodded and silently thanked him in her heart.

The two of them stayed in the room for a while before su Yicheng left with her hand in his. As they left, Anran couldn’t help but turn her head back to look at them. She liked the feeling that this place gave her.

“Was this what you told Mr. Ye at the hospital last time?” She remembered that they had talked about renovating the house. Now that she thought about it, she was afraid that they were talking about this matter.

“Yeah, I’ve really pushed him too hard this time.” Su Yicheng smiled faintly, started the car, and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned to Anran and said, ” when will you arrange for me to meet you? he is my best friend. &Quot;

Anran nodded. She also remembered that Lin Li had said that she wanted to see him, so she said, ” “Then, when will you come and meet my best friend?”

Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot;

The two of them stayed in the house for a while before leaving.

On the way back, Anran seemed to be in a very good mood. Compared to the gloominess in the morning, she was like a completely different person at this moment. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and faint dimples appeared on her face. She was very beautiful.

Soft music was playing in the car, and Anran was nodding her head gently in her sleep. She looked at su Yicheng for a while, and then turned her head to look out the window.

Su Yicheng, who was focused on driving, turned his head and glanced at her indifferently. With one hand on the steering wheel, he reached out to hold her hand with the other and then held it tightly in his palm.

Anran turned her head to look at him and held his hand. The smile on her lips became even more obvious, and there was even a certain sense of happiness in her eyes.

The atmosphere seemed to be very warm, with light music and the two of them holding hands.

The atmosphere was too warm and ambiguous. Anran was happy and a little shy. Blushing, she turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Jiang city was a beautiful city at night. The streets were filled with neon lights and there weren’t many cars on the road. Because it wasn’t time yet, there were quite a lot of people coming and going.

Because of the red light, the car slowly came to a stop.

Anran turned her head to look out the window because of her slight awkwardness and shyness. On the other side, a black Mercedes slowly stopped beside Anran. The rolled-down window allowed her to clearly see everything inside the car.

As she looked at the man in the driver’s seat and the woman leaning on him in the passenger’s seat, Anran’s smile slowly disappeared. In the end, her big eyes were filled with disbelief and shock! Because that man wasn’t anyone else, but Chengxiang!

The red light turned green, but Chengxiang didn’t seem to mind at all. The traffic on his side seemed to have moved earlier than here. He looked at the person in his arms gently, then started the car and drove away.

Naturally, su Yicheng saw the situation and slowly started the car to drive away. “What’s wrong? Do you know that person?”

Anran didn’t say anything. She looked at the car that was gradually driving away and retracted her gaze. Chengxiang had lied to her. Not only had he lied to Lin Li, but he had also lied to her. He quickly took out his phone from his bag and directly called Lin Li’s phone, then directly pressed the answer button.

Hu Lingling’s phone rang for a long time. Just as Anran was about to hang up and send the call back, Lin Li finally picked up.

“Hello ...” Even her voice sounded tired.

“Lin Li, is Chengxiang here?” An ran immediately asked,

&Quot; awoo ... &Quot; he yawned and said indifferently, ” “Why are you looking for Chengxiang?” His voice was still full of sleepiness.

“He’s here?” An ran asked tentatively.

&Quot; no, he called me before he got off work. He said he had a business dinner tonight and would be back later. &Quot; Lin Li said truthfully.

An ran’s heart turned cold and she didn’t speak for a long time.

“What’s the matter? do you want me to ask him when he comes back?” Lin Li said.

After a long while, Anran said, ” it’s nothing. It’s okay. You can sleep. &Quot; Then, he wanted to hang up the phone.

Lin Li stopped an ran before she hung up. &Quot; an Zi. &Quot;

“What?”

“Did something happen?” On the other side of the phone, Lin Li asked in a worried tone.

Anran was silent. She felt a little sad, for Lin Li and for Chengxiang.

He didn’t answer. On the other end of the phone, Lin Li called out worriedly, ” an Zi? ”

Anran came back to her senses and tried to make her tone as relaxed as possible. She said with a half-smile, ” &Quot; nothing much. I just saw a figure on the road that looked very similar to your Chengxiang. There was even a blonde Bobby Guy beside him, so I called to ask if he had an affair. &Quot;

Anran was testing Lin Li ‘er’s attitude. She wasn’t sure if Lin Li’ er would be able to take it if she confessed to her that Chengxiang had an affair. After all, she was still pregnant!

There was no sound from the other side of the phone for a long time.

“Lin Li?” An ran called out tentatively.

“Hahahaha ...”

Suddenly, Lin Li’s wild laughter came from the other side of the phone as she said, ” &Quot; Anzi, Anzi, are you seeing things? Chengxiang is having a party tonight, and he should be at the Jiang city hotel right now. He just spoke to me earlier. Besides, Chengxiang doesn’t like blond bunnies. He has a hair fetish and likes long, black hair. You see, I’ve never dyed my hair or cut it short before. It’s not that I don’t want to, but he doesn’t want to. Now you know. &Quot;

Anran’s lips twitched, and she tried her best to speak naturally, ” &Quot; yes, yes. Now that I think about it, I must’ve been mistaken. The distance was too far, so I must’ve been mistaken. Now that I think about it, that person really doesn’t look like your Chengxiang. He seems to be a little shorter and a little fatter than Chengxiang. &Quot;

“What’s wrong with your eyes? our Xiangzi is such a handsome man, how could you mistake him for someone else?” Lin Li was wailing over the phone.

Anran didn’t smile, but she relaxed her tone and said, ” “He’s your man, why would I recognize him so clearly?”

“Just look at your Mr. Su.” As Lin Li said this, she suddenly thought of something and asked nosily, ” “By the way, Zian, is your Mr. Su handsome?”

Anran was taken aback by her nonsensical question, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at su Yicheng, then answered, ” “Cool!”

“Aiyoyo, you’re so shameless.” Lin Li mocked her and laughed as she spoke.

An ran quietly pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. Perhaps, regarding Chengxiang’s matter, she had to confirm it again. At least, she had to have a 100% accurate answer before she considered whether she should tell Lin Li. After all, her current situation was a little special.

&Quot; Lin Li, I still have something to do. I’ll hang up first. You can continue sleeping. &Quot; An ran said.

“Yes, sure.” Lin Li agreed and hung up the phone, not forgetting to say, ” &Quot; by the way, Anzi, bring your Mr. Su out for a walk one day. Let me see what a rich man looks like. &Quot;

Anran smiled and nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot;

After he hung up the phone, the smile on his face disappeared, and his mood darkened. He turned to look out the window, feeling a little complicated and uncomfortable.

Su Yicheng glanced at her, then asked indifferently, ” &Quot; that man just now is Lin Li’s boyfriend? ” In fact, she didn’t need to answer. The answer was obvious.

Anran turned around to look at him and finally nodded with a bit of mockery. He said unhappily, ” the three of us are friends. Lin Li has been with him since University. They’ve been together for nearly ten years. They’re going to hold their wedding in less than ten days, and Lin Li is pregnant with his child. &Quot; As she said that, her eyes felt a little sore.

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and focused on driving. He freed one hand from the steering wheel and reached out to hold her hand.

“Actually, actually, I saw him a few days ago at the hospital. He was with that woman, Chengxiang.” As she spoke, Anran suddenly laughed at herself. &Quot; hehe, I’m so stupid. I’m stupid enough to believe his explanation and really believe that they have nothing. I’m so stupid. A man can lie to his wife and secretly go to the hospital to take care of another woman alone. He even helped her to the bathroom in the past. How can we be simple friends? ” But I actually believed his nonsense ...”

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything. In fact, he didn’t know what to say. He had no experience in this area at all.

The car slowly drove into the apartment’s underground parking lot. After laughing, Anran maintained her previous posture, her hand half-supporting her face as she looked outside.

Su Yicheng turned off the engine and didn’t rush to get out of the car. He turned to look at him, sighed, and said, ” &Quot; Anran, we don’t have superpowers and can’t predict the future. If God wants something to happen, we can’t stop it. Even if we really want to, we can’t do anything. &Quot;

Hearing this, Anran turned her head in a daze and stared at him.

He reached out to push aside the hair covering her eyes, then continued, ” &Quot; even if you saw through his lies last time, you can’t change the fact that he cheated on you, can you? ”

Anran lowered her eyes. Su Yicheng was right. That’s right, even if she knew that Chengxiang had cheated on her at the hospital, so what? she thought that she would still be like just now and not dare to tell Lin Li anything, because she had to consider her feelings for Chengxiang and her current physical condition.

He reached out to hold her face and made her look up at him. He looked into her eyes and said, ” “It’s not your fault, don’t blame yourself.”

“I ...” Lin Li, Lin Li is my best friend.” Anran still felt a little sad for Lin Li, because she knew how Lin Li felt about Chengxiang. If he found out that Chengxiang cheated on her, how could she bear it? Her heart ached for Lin Li.

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything more. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, patting her back.
