Chapter 141: Appearing in the newspaper
Translator: 549690339
It was Secretary Zheng. He said anxiously, ” “Su city, have you seen today’s newspaper?”
Su Yicheng frowned and asked in a low voice, ” “What newspaper?”
“Uh,” On the other end of the phone, Secretary Zheng held back his smile and said, ” &Quot; Su Shi can read the newspaper later. Su Shi and his wife are probably going to be famous in Jiang city. &Quot;
Su Yicheng’s brows furrowed even deeper. &Quot; does it have anything to do with Anran? ” He only cared about this. As long as it was about him, it didn’t matter what happened, as long as an ran wasn’t involved!
&Quot; su city should see for themselves. Oh right, Secretary Zhang’s Secretary called yesterday afternoon. He said that there will be a meeting at 10 am in Conference Room 1. &Quot; Secretary Zheng dutifully reported the work. Before hanging up the phone, he said with a mysterious smile, ” “Well, su city, congratulations.” Then, without waiting for su Yicheng to ask him anything, he hung up the phone.
Su Yicheng frowned and stared at the phone in his hand. He picked up the quilt, got up, picked up the clothes that had been thrown on the floor because of their passion last night, and put them on. He was ready to go out and see what was written in today’s newspaper.
Anran opened her eyes in a daze. Because of last night’s madness and entanglement, her eyes were still very sleepy. She half-sat up and asked, ” “What happened?” Although she wasn’t fully awake, she had vaguely heard some of his phone conversation just now. Judging from su Yicheng’s expression, it seemed that something had really happened.
Su Yicheng looked at her and was stunned for a while. Then, he leaned forward, lowered his head, and gave her a fiery good morning kiss. He then said in a seductive voice by her ear, ” if you seduce me again, I promise that something will happen to us! &Quot; As he said that, he bit her delicate ear.
Anran froze and looked down. Only then did she realize that the thin blanket had slid down her shoulder when she sat up, and after the two of them had been too passionate last night, she was now as naked as a newborn baby. Now, the thin blanket had slid down to her protruding stomach, revealing a large area of her snow-white skin. It was hard not to imagine such a scene.
“Ah!” Anran cried out in shock, then pushed su Yicheng away from her. She pulled the blanket over and wrapped herself up tightly, covering half of her face, only revealing a pair of big, blinking eyes.”Pervert! You hooligan!” Her entire face was as red as a tomato, boiling hot.
Su Yicheng laughed out loud. Under her rejection and screams, he forced himself to kiss her in satisfaction, then let go of her and got up. He picked up the clothes that had been scattered on the ground because of last night’s passion and put them away, then left the room with a smile and a good mood.
After he closed the door, Anran looked at the tightly shut door and couldn’t help but Mutter, ” “Bad guy, Big Bad guy!” Although she was complaining, the smile on her lips revealed her happiness and satisfaction.
When su Yicheng walked out of his room, he happened to run into Mrs. Zhang, who had just come over from her house in the morning. Mrs. Zhang came in with a newspaper, and when she saw su Yicheng, she smiled and said, ” “Sir, you’re not at work yet. Do you want me to prepare breakfast for you?”
Su Yicheng didn’t nod or shake his head. He looked at the newspaper in her hand and asked, ” “Is it this morning’s newspaper?”
Auntie Zhang nodded and handed the newspaper to him. &Quot; “It’s from this morning. I just got it from downstairs.” He had seen it when he passed by the mailbox downstairs, so he had brought it up.
Su Yicheng nodded, reached out, took the newspaper, and flipped through it. When he flipped to the entertainment section, he suddenly stopped. He saw that the photo of him and Anran at the hospital entrance yesterday had made the headlines of the entertainment section of Jiangcheng Metropolitan daily, and the headline at the side was very large: ” the young mayor brought his beloved wife for a prenatal examination, and his behavior shows that he is a good man who Pampers his wife! &Quot; After staring at the newspaper for a while, su Yicheng really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t like to show off and had always kept a low profile. Since he entered politics, he rarely accepted interviews, and unless it was absolutely necessary, he always avoided the media. He didn’t expect that when he took Anran to the hospital for a prenatal examination yesterday, it would make the entertainment headlines!
Just as su Yicheng was still holding the newspaper, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the cell phone in his pocket rang at this time. It was a call from ye Ziwen. He looked at the phone, then at the newspaper in his hand. He didn’t need to answer the call to know what ye Ziwen was calling to say.
However, he still answered the call. &Quot; if you want to talk about what’s in the newspaper, then there’s no need. I’ve already seen it. &Quot;
On the other end of the phone, ye Ziwen was stunned for a moment before he reacted and asked,”What newspaper?” The voice sounded weak and steady, which was not someone’s style.
Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and noticed something strange, so he asked, ” “You, what’s wrong?”
Ye Ziwen did not dwell on the matter of the newspaper. He remembered the purpose of his call and asked,”Ah Zhen, have you seen Xiao Jiao recently? I haven’t seen her for almost a month.”
“Yijiao?” Su Yicheng’s brows furrowed even more, and he asked, ” “What’s wrong with you guys?” It seemed like this was not the first time he had called to ask about yijiao.
On the other end of the phone, ye Ziwen smiled bitterly and sighed.”I haven’t seen her since that day.”
“That day?” Su Yicheng didn’t know which day he was referring to, nor did he know what happened between him and yijiao. He said seriously, ” “Ye Ziwen, if you dare to bully yijiao, don’t blame me for not treating you as a friend!” His heart would still ache for his own sister. Even if they were friends and brothers, he would not bully them.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, she weakly said, ” “Ah Luo, I seem to have fallen in love with Xiao Jiao.”
Su Yicheng was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect him to admit it himself. In fact, the two of them had grown up together, and the onlooker could see clearly how ye Ziwen treated yijiao.
Zi Wen had always thought of Yi Jiao as his little sister. Although he didn’t agree to Yi Jiao’s confession and pestering, he never rejected her outright either. He was even nervous for a long time when boys appeared around Yi Jiao. He said that he didn’t want her to be deceived, so he investigated each and every one of those men clearly. In the end, none of them could catch his eye.
“It seems that you have to tell yijiao this yourself. What’s the use of telling me?” After a long silence, su Yicheng finally said this lightly.
Ye Ziwen laughed bitterly on the other end of the phone. He didn’t say anything and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, su Yicheng stood in the living room for a long time. He only came back to his senses when aunt Zhang called him from behind.
“Sir, do you want me to prepare breakfast for you?” Aunt Zhang stood in the kitchen, put on an apron, and prepared to make breakfast.
He looked down at the newspaper in his hand and thought of the smiling woman in the room who had been pestered by him the entire night. The smile on his face became brighter as he said to Mrs. Zhang,”Mrs. Zhang, I’ll make breakfast.”
Aunt Zhang also nodded with a smile. She had been helping out here for a while now, and she knew that su Yicheng loved Anran, so she was already used to personally cooking breakfast. She took off her apron and put it aside, then said with a smile, ” “Then I’ll go to the market to buy today’s vegetables.”
Su Yicheng nodded. Just as Mrs. Zhang opened the door and was about to go out, he suddenly thought of something and called out to her, ” &Quot; Mrs. Zhang, wait a minute. Go buy some pork trotters to make soup today. Anran had a cramp in her leg when she went to the hospital yesterday. &Quot;
“Eh, alright.” Mrs. Zhang nodded and took his words to heart. Then, she took the basket and went out.
When su Yicheng finished preparing breakfast, he wanted to go into the room to wake Anran up, but Anran opened the door and walked out with a pout. When she saw su Yicheng, she pouted even more.
Su Yicheng looked at her, amused. He touched her head, then glanced at the scarf around her neck. He couldn’t help but ask, ” are you very cold? ” He reached out to take her hand, but an ran slapped it away in a Huff. “It’s all because of you!” He grumbled in a low voice.
Su Yicheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and laughed out loud. However, after receiving her sharp gaze, he held back his laughter and said, ” &Quot; it’s okay. We’re at home. No one will see us. &Quot;
She pinched the side of his waist and muttered, ” &Quot; is there still Mrs. Zhang at home? it would be strange if she didn’t laugh at you for wearing a scarf like this. &Quot;
Su Yicheng smiled and pulled her to the bar counter, sat her down on a high stool, went into the kitchen, and sat down opposite her. He poured her a cup of hot milk and said, ” “In order to apologize to you and admit my mistake, how about this, I’ll give you my poached Eggs and Ham as compensation!” As he spoke, he used a knife and fork to directly transfer the poached egg and ham to her plate.
Anran’s eyes widened as she looked at the Eggs and Ham on her plate, which had appeared out of nowhere, and protested, ” “Hey, hey, how can you do this! I can’t finish it. ”
He took a sip of milk and said, ” &Quot; it’s okay. You need more nutrition right now. There’s more than one baby in your stomach. There are two babies now. So, be good and eat more, okay? ”
Anran didn’t know what to do with him. She pouted, pointed at her stomach, and said, ” “I see that you were very fickle and hungry in your past life, and you attracted two little lovers at once.”
Su Yicheng laughed out loud, looked at her, and said, ” “You’re the only one I’ve ever offended in my life.”
Anran laughed at his words and scolded him with a smile, ” “You’re so glib.”
Lin xiaofen and Qin Yun arrived almost at the same time, and they met at the door when su Yicheng was about to leave with his bag. Because su Yicheng still had a meeting to attend, he didn’t stay and chat much. He only said a few words before he hurriedly left.
Qin Yun and Lin xiaofen came in and took Anran to the front and back of the room. They stared at Anran’s stomach and asked in unison, ” “Are you sure you’re twins?”
After asking, the two of them looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Anran also laughed. She touched her belly and nodded happily and contentedly. &Quot; yes, the doctor said it’s twins. &Quot; She really felt that she was lucky, and her good luck seemed to have come from the moment she met su Yicheng. This man had given her all the happiness she wanted, and he had even given her more than what she wanted.
“That’s great.” Qin Yun slapped her thigh and cheered. She turned to look at Lin xiaofen and said, ” &Quot; in-law, this way, you can take care of one and I’ll take care of the other. This way, we won’t have to fight over a grandson. &Quot;
Lin xiaofen also laughed. She nodded and said, &Quot; yes, yes. That’s great. If there’s only one, you’ll have to come all the way here if you want to see it, and I’ll have to go all the way if I want to see it. Now, it’s no trouble for each of us to take one. &Quot;
The two mothers had endless topics to talk about when they talked about their grandchildren. The two of them talked one after another, and they were very happy.
An ran was a little embarrassed. They seemed to have divided up the child. They seemed to have forgotten that she was the child’s mother and wanted to have the child by their side.
The two mothers were talking about how to take care of their grandchildren in the future. Anran wanted to say something, but she couldn’t get a word in. In the end, she could only sit on the sofa in the living room, bored, and pick up the newspaper on the low table in front of her to read.
She didn’t know or care much about political facts, so she never asked much about su Yicheng’s work. One was to avoid it, and the other was that she had no interest in it at all. First, she flipped through the financial section and roughly understood the situation of the real estate in Jiangcheng. In fact, she only found out a few days ago that the stock price of Jingcheng had dropped a lot recently, and Huang Dexing was directly taken to the Procuratorate for questioning because he was suspected of Ling Chuanjiang’s case. It seemed that he was even locked up for a week. In the end, his wife’s family’s power and background helped him get out. However, after he got out, he came out of ‘Jing Cheng’ and transferred all the shares in his hands to a mysterious Big Boss behind the scenes.
In fact, she had heard about this from Chen Cheng. Perhaps because of what happened last time, Chen Cheng had always felt guilty towards Anran, so even though Anran’s attitude was cold at the beginning, she would still call Anran whenever she had time. As time passed, some unhappy things slowly faded, and they had been in contact more and more recently, but usually, Chen Cheng would call Anran first.
In fact, through Anran’s understanding of Chen Cheng, she also knew that Chen Cheng’s life was not easy. Her family’s conditions were not good, and her father was bedridden. All the burden was on her. Previously, her father passed away after an infection after the operation. The moment he passed away, he called Anran and said that he could not cry. He even felt like he had let her go. Anran did not know how to comfort her, so she just held the phone and listened to her talk a lot.
She flipped to the entertainment section. When she reached that section, she was stunned. Looking at the photos that occupied more than half of the page, Anran couldn’t describe her feelings.
The photo was taken secretly, and although it wasn’t very well-taken, it was clear that the two people in the photo were clearly recognized. It was taken when she and su Yicheng were walking out of the hospital yesterday. The wind at the entrance of the hospital was a little strong, and it messed up her hair. Su Yicheng carefully reached out to push away the hair that was blocking her view. His expression and actions now looked very gentle and considerate in the photo.
Anran guessed that the newspaper incident might have something to do with the couple she had met before entering the doctor’s office, because only that couple recognized su Yicheng. The other mother-to-be was also a reporter before, so she might have informed her colleagues about it.
She reached out and touched the photo on the paper, and the corners of her mouth were a little amused. She looked at the description on the side. The article was full of praise for su Yicheng, saying that he doted on his wife, even half-knelt to massage her feet, and that he took time out of his busy schedule to accompany his wife for her prenatal examination. It even wrote that he excitedly announced that his wife was pregnant with twins after the prenatal examination, saying that he was not only a leader in the public, but also an ordinary man with mixed emotions. When happy was excited, he would laugh a little crazily. He said that he did not look unattainable and that he was also made of flesh and blood. He was just like a normal person who lived a very real life. &Nbsp;
However, when she read the last paragraph of the description, Anran’s face suddenly flushed red. She didn’t expect that they would even write about su Yicheng entering the office to ask the doctor about the couple’s life. They even wrote humorously, ” it seems that Mrs. SU’s pregnancy has made our young mayor suffer. &Quot;
An ran really wanted to cry but had no tears. Now they were probably going to be laughed at by the entire Jiangcheng. She’d better not go out in the future!
Qin Yun and Lin xiaofen were chatting on the side, and they happened to notice the newspaper in Anran’s hands. She suddenly thought of something and turned to Anran. &Quot; “An ran, there’s something …” Seeing the silk scarf around her neck, he suddenly stopped and asked, ” “What’s with the scarf around your neck?”
Anran froze and touched her neck in embarrassment. She only shook her head, but couldn’t say a word. Her face also turned red.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yun naturally understood something. She looked at Anran in disagreement and said, ” Anran, you’re pregnant now, so you can’t be like before. There are some things you have to pay special attention to. &Quot; As he spoke, he complained to his son,”This ah Zhen is really … She has never been such an unreasonable person. Why is she so impatient in this matter?”
Anran blushed with shame. She couldn’t make any other expression except for a dry smile, and her face was even hotter than before.
When Lin xiaofen finally understood, she looked at Anran with a serious expression and said, ” “Yes, granny Qin is right. You’re pregnant now, and it’s twins. You must be careful. Tell ah Zhen to endure it for a few more months. After all, the child is more important.”
Qin Yun agreed, ” that’s right, that’s right. No, I have to call that Rascal, ah Zhen, personally to talk to him. &Quot; As she spoke, she took out her phone from her pocket and was about to call su Yicheng.
At this time, aunt Zhang came back from grocery shopping. Carrying a basket, she asked Anran, ” &Quot; Madam, in the morning, Sir said that your leg was cramping. Do you think it’s better to stew black beans with the pig’s feet today or just stew them without putting anything in? ”
Upon hearing this, the two mothers turned to Anran nervously and asked in unison, ” “An ran, are you having leg cramps?”
Anran laughed dryly and nodded. Seeing this, Qin Yun quickly stood up and walked over to Mrs. Zhang.”You should add more black beans to this pig’s feet stew. You don’t need to add other medicinal herbs. Soybeans can also supplement protein. It’s quite good.” As she spoke, she took the basket from aunt Zhang’s hands and continued, ” &Quot; I’ll stew it. Leg cramps are caused by calcium deficiency. It’s better to eat more things with bones than those calcium supplements. &Quot;
Seeing that Lin xiaofen had also stood up to help out in the kitchen, Anran finally sighed. If she didn’t continue to be questioned, she would really be too ashamed to show her face.
Looking at su Yicheng’s picture in the newspaper, Anran reached out and patted him, then muttered in a low voice, ” it’s all your fault. &Quot;
When su Yicheng returned home that night, Anran was still awake. She was sitting on the bed with a newspaper in her hand and looking at su Yicheng with a look of condemnation.
Su Yicheng casually asked, ” “What’s wrong?” As he spoke, he took off his coat and took out a change of clothes from the closet. He didn’t pay attention to an ran’s answer and went directly into the bathroom, feeling a little tired.
When he came out again, Anran was still sitting in the same position as before, and su Yicheng only noticed that there was something wrong with her expression then. However, when he saw the newspaper in her hand, he seemed to understand.
With a half-smile, he went to the other side of the bed and reached out to pull her into his arms, but he was pushed away by a certain someone who was making a fuss.
Su Yicheng didn’t try to stop her. He reached out to her again, but he was hit back by someone again.
He continued to push her into his arms, but this time, he rolled his eyes at him. He didn’t push him away, but let him hold him. Then, he turned around and patted his chest angrily, saying in a muffled voice, ” “It’s all your fault. So many people called me today. I don’t want to see anyone anymore. I’ll just hide at home every day. Otherwise, I’ll be a laughing stock if I go out.” Although she was slapping him, her hands were soft and didn’t hurt at all.
“Then don’t go out. I can’t wait to hide you at home forever.” Su Yicheng said in a good mood.
Anran pushed him away in a bad mood, took the newspaper, and pointed at it. &Quot; “You’re a leader, aren’t you afraid of damaging your image?”
Su Yicheng didn’t even look at it and said proudly, ” &Quot; it doesn’t matter. The newspaper said that I look like I’m made of flesh and blood. It’s a real life. Those are all compliments. &Quot;
“Bah, you look quite proud.” An ran said with disdain.
“It is.” Su Yicheng said with a serious expression.
“Pfft!” Anran laughed at his seriousness. She couldn’t really get angry with him. It was amazing that she could feel happiness every moment she was with him.
Su Yicheng also smiled and hugged her back to the bed. He didn’t say anything and just quietly hugged her, smelling the same shower gel on her body as he did. He didn’t need to say anything and felt at ease and at ease.
Anran leaned against his chest, still holding the newspaper in her hand. She stared at the photo on it and touched it gently. The more she looked at the photo, the more she felt that it looked good. She muttered softly, ” “Yicheng, let’s go take a few photos some time.” They didn’t even have a photo together. They couldn’t possibly wait for the children to come out and point at the newspaper and say that this was the only photo of their parents!
Su Yicheng nodded affectionately and gently whispered in her ear, ” “Alright,” he said.
