The next day was Monday, and su Yicheng drove Anran to work first. Anran turned her head to look outside and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere was a little heavy.
The car slowly stopped in front of the building of ‘Jingcheng construction’. After the engine was turned off, Anran unbuckled her seat belt, turned her head to thank su Yicheng, and picked up her bag to open the door and get out of the car.
“An ran.” Su Yicheng grabbed her hand when she opened the door.
Anran turned her head, looked at him in confusion, and asked, ” “What’s wrong?”
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just smiled. Then, he pulled her over, leaned over, and kissed her on the forehead before letting her go. With a faint smile on his face, he helped her adjust her folded neckline, and then said softly, ” “Go to work. Remember to wait for me tonight?”
Anran nodded, her face red from his kiss. She looked at him and couldn’t help but remind him, ” “Be careful when you drive.”
Su Yicheng smiled and nodded.
Perhaps she was still a little shy and embarrassed, but Anran didn’t dare to look him in the eye. She quickly turned around and got out of the car, then quickly walked toward the office building. On the way, she didn’t forget to turn her head to look. Seeing that he was still looking at her, she waved at him and walked in without looking back.
In the car, su Yicheng shook his head and laughed. He didn’t start the car and leave until her figure disappeared behind the door.
When Anran arrived at the office, she felt that the atmosphere was a little off. They seemed to be discussing something in the office, but when they saw her coming, they quickly pretended to leave.
Anran didn’t ask any more questions and returned to her office.
She seemed to have had too much soup for lunch, so she ran to the bathroom several times in the afternoon.
Less than a minute after Anran went in, two female colleagues in the office also came to the bathroom. They were here to touch up their makeup. No, to be more precise, they were here to chat and gossip.
&Quot; did you see the corner of Xiao Xiao’s eye? there’s a big scratch. &Quot; One of them said.
Another person replied, ” who didn’t see it? did she think that she could cover it up by wearing sunglasses? this is clearly a lie. Who in the company doesn’t know about her and Huang Dexing’s scandal? this time, she was caught red-handed by the main wife. She’s lucky that she only got a scratch on the corner of her eye. How many cases does she have on hand? she dresses up every day in a devilish way. &Quot;

&Quot; sigh, she can only rely on her face and her skills in bed to be so domineering in the office. Are you jealous? if you’re jealous, then go buy a few pieces of cloth and draw more seductresses every day. Then, when the director comes over, you’ll throw flirtatious glances at him. Maybe you don’t need to draw and you can directly become another beautiful designer in our company. &Quot;
&Quot; go to hell. I’d rather draw for the rest of my life than serve an old man that can be me at that age. &Quot;
Outside, the two of them laughed and laughed for a while. After washing their hands, they were about to leave. However, when they turned around and were about to leave, they were suddenly shocked to see Xiao Xiao’s Black face, which covered half of her face. Her big waves were still flirtatious, and her tight suit complemented her impressive figure.
“Designer, designer Xiao.” The two of them, who had been chatting and laughing just now, were dumbfounded. They didn’t know when Xiao Xiao had come in or how much she had heard.
Xiao Xiao stepped forward. The black figure covered half of her face, so no one could see her expression at the moment.
The two of them, who had been joking around, suddenly became listless. They looked at Xiao Xiao, who gave in to her with a dry smile, and stuttered, ” “We, we’ll go out first.”
Xiao Xiao stood in front of the glass counter and reached out to take off her sunglasses. The corner of her eye had a bright red and slender gash, and the surrounding dark circles were red and swollen. Expressionlessly, she took out the powder box from her bag and opened it to get a powder puff to touch up her makeup, focusing on the corner of her eyes.
Seeing this, the two of them turned around and were about to leave when they heard Xiao Xiao say indifferently, ” you don’t have to come tomorrow. &Quot; His tone was neither fast nor slow, neither salty nor light.
Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly stood up, turned around, and said with a sad face, ” &Quot; s-sister Xiao, we were wrong. We didn’t do it on purpose. We don’t mean any harm. Please don’t take it to heart. &Quot;
Xiao Xiao looked at herself in the mirror indifferently and skillfully touched up her makeup, trying to cover the redness and swelling on her face. He did not even look at the two people behind him.
Seeing that she was unmoved and had no reaction at all, he didn’t know what her attitude was. Although he didn’t like her, she was still Huang Dexing’s people after all. If he really wanted them to leave, it wasn’t impossible.
The corner of her eye was so red and swollen that the foundation couldn’t cover half of it. The excessive powder made the corner of her eye look strange and awkward. She clenched the powder puff tightly in her hand and thought of the scene of her being caught by Huang Dexing’s evil woman yesterday. Then, she thought of Huang Dexing standing aside and watching her get beaten up indifferently. The anger in her chest grew wildly, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She turned her head, glared at them, and roared, ” “What are you still doing here? get lost!”
The two of them were shocked. At that moment, the corners of Xiao Xiao’s eyes were red and swollen. Her expression was ferocious, and she looked really terrifying.
“What are you looking at? get out.”
One of them was not to be outdone and retorted, ” you, what right do you have to ask us to leave? besides, what we said just now was the truth. If you’re afraid of people talking about it, then don’t do it. You’ve done it and you’re not letting people talk about it. Why are you acting all high and mighty? ”
“What did you just say?” Xiao Xiao stepped forward and glared at her with eyes that seemed to be able to eat people. It was terrifying. She gritted her teeth and said, ” “I dare you to say that again!”
The man swallowed his saliva and kept stepping back. The other man standing beside him looked a little scared. He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere before he said, ” &Quot; s-sister Xiao, ” Xiao Xiao said. She was so scared that she couldn’t say a word when she looked at her.
“哗啦啦啦——”
just as they were in a stalemate outside, anran came out of the bathroom after washing up. she turned her head and glanced at them, then turned to the sink.
xiao xiao suddenly turned to anran, glared at her, and asked, ” “what are you doing here?”
anran glanced at her in the mirror, turned on the water, applied the hand wash, and began to wash her hands. she said, ” “i’m going to the toilet.”
“You heard everything!” Xiao Xiao’s hands, which were placed on both sides of her thighs, were tightly clenched into fists. She had not expected that she would be in the bathroom. She had heard her embarrassing and unbearable words!
Without looking at her, an ran replied indifferently, ” “I’m not deaf,” Moreover, she couldn’t even pretend that she didn’t hear them even if she wanted to!
Xiao Xiao’s chest heaved up and down as she looked at her and sneered, ” “You’re very proud now, aren’t you? you’re snickering, snickering at me for having such a day, aren’t you? You must be very happy to see me make a fool of myself.”
Anran rinsed her hands with water and wiped the water off her hands with a tissue. She turned her head and looked at her calmly, then said, ” you always like to force your thoughts on others. I don’t think so, but you must think so. I can’t do anything about it, because your thoughts are your own. I can’t change them. &Quot;
“Hmph, you make it sound nice. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re waiting to see me make a fool of myself.” Xiao Xiao said harshly.
Anran sneered. &Quot; don’t think that everyone is like you. Not everyone is as narrow-minded as you. &Quot;
“You!” Xiao Xiao was so angry that her chest felt like it was being bullied.
An ran didn’t say anything more. She walked past her and was about to leave.
&Quot; how good do you think you are? you’re just lucky enough to have su Yicheng with you. Otherwise, you’d be nothing! &Quot; Xiao Xiao said with hatred.
Anran smiled and nodded. She didn’t deny her words and said, ” “I’m indeed lucky.”
&Quot; Hmph, I’ve seen many people like him. I’m afraid he’s just playing around. When he’s tired of you, he might just kick you away. &Quot; Xiao Xiao said harshly, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger.
Anran smiled faintly and ignored her. She walked straight out of the bathroom, and when she passed by the two girls, she said to them, ” “Are you guys done with the drawing I asked you to do last week?”
&Quot; uh … &Quot; the two were stunned. What map? they looked at each other, not knowing what Anran was talking about.
Anran furrowed her brows and gave them a look. She pretended to be stern and said, ” “You haven’t even drawn a picture, and you’re still chatting? Hurry up and go back to your drawing!”
Only then did the two of them come back to their senses. They hurriedly nodded and said, ” “We’ll go back now, we’ll go back now.” Then, she quickly turned around and left the washroom.
Xiao Xiao watched them leave in anger. Finally, she grabbed the powder box and smashed it on the ground.
Outside the bathroom, the two people who had been gossiping in the bathroom just now thanked Anran. If it hadn’t been for her appearance, they would have really gotten into a fight with Xiao Xiao. After all, Xiao Xiao was Huang Dexing’s woman. If she really wanted to get over them, it wouldn’t be a joke.
Anran nodded slightly and only warned them, ” don’t talk so much in the future. &Quot; Whoever heard them gossiping behind their backs would be angry.
The two of them nodded repeatedly. They didn’t dare to do so anymore. They were scared to death.
Anran didn’t say anything more and went straight back to her office.
When it was almost time to get off work, Huang Dexing called her to his office and handed her a pile of documents, saying that the company was planning to compete for an overseas case in the near future and would be bidding in a month’s time. The time was a little tight because, in addition to the design drawings, the company also had to produce a sample room, and there would be a professional to evaluate and check it.
“I-I’m really in charge of this project?” An ran was flattered.
Huang Dexing raised his eyebrows and asked, ” “What, you’re not confident?”
“No, I, I’m just a little surprised.” After all, this project was too big and would affect the company’s future development overseas.
“I believe you. You have a good understanding of design. Of course, I’ll still say the same thing. If you have any problems, you can come to me directly. If you can’t make a decision, you can also come to me for advice.” Huang Dexing said with a smile.
Anran nodded and took the pile of documents on the table. She promised, ” I will try my best and won’t let you down! &Quot;
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to show me your design.”
“Yes.” Anran nodded happily, then left the office with the information he gave her.
The project this time was a large-scale Manor with various activity and leisure areas. The area and area were very large, and the investment was even more huge. Because the investor was the ‘Jason consortium’ of the United Kingdom, which was a noble consortium in the United Kingdom, the media from all over the world had a high degree of attention to the project they launched this time. So if ‘sincerity construction’ could win this project in one fell swoop, then it would undoubtedly be a huge success, whether it was in China or abroad.
While Anran was excitedly looking at the information she had gotten from Huang Dexing, su Yicheng’s phone rang. Su Yicheng was already downstairs, but he didn’t see Anran, so he called to ask if she was still busy.
It was only then that Anran remembered that su Yicheng had said yesterday that he was going to take her to a mysterious place today. She packed her things and put the documents into her briefcase before going downstairs.
When she arrived downstairs, su Yicheng’s car was already parked at the company’s main gate. When he saw her coming out of the building, he opened the door and got out of the car. He looked at her with a faint smile on his face.
Anran trotted forward and looked at him apologetically. &Quot; “Have you waited long? I’m sorry, I forgot about it when I was looking at the information.”
Su Yicheng smiled and reached out to smooth her hair, which was a little messy from running, then opened the car door and said, ” “Get in the car.”
Anran nodded, smiled at him, and got into the car.
Su Yitian closed the car door for her like a gentleman, then walked around the front of the car and got in from the other side.
After he got into the car, Anran couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” “Where are we going?” He had said yesterday that he was going to take her to a place, but he had kept it a secret from her.
Su Yicheng started the car and turned to smile at her. &Quot; let’s go eat first. &Quot;
The car slowly stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant with its own unique characteristics. All kinds of luxury cars were gathered at the entrance, and it was a little dazzling.
Anran raised her head. She had heard of Yiran garden before. It had just opened two months ago. On the day of its opening, she heard that a famous celebrity in the country was invited to come to the stage and attract countless people. Some fans even traveled thousands of miles, unafraid of the hardship, just to see their idol. And because of the celebrity’s promotion, the restaurant’s reputation spread quickly. Moreover, on the opening day, the owner of this ‘Yiran garden’ even spared no expense to organize a free day of food tasting event. In addition, the restaurant’s chef’s excellent cooking skills made almost everyone who had eaten it praise it endlessly. The latter part of the people became the restaurant’s loyal customers, even though the cost here was not cheap. She was also introducing the newly opened Chinese restaurant to her friends and relatives.
“Let’s go. I heard that this restaurant’s Zhejiang cuisine is pretty good.” As su Yicheng spoke, he took her hand and led her into the dining room.
“Have you eaten here before?” An ran asked casually.
Su Yicheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, ” “No, that girl yijiao told me.”
“Yijiao! She has her own restaurant, why would she come to someone else’s?”
“Hahaha. Didn’t I tell you that this restaurant also belongs to yijiao?” Su Yicheng said, amused.
Anran’s eyes widened and she shook her head. She didn’t expect yijiao to be the Queen of the gastronomic industry in Jiangcheng. She looked like a child, but she didn’t expect her to open one restaurant after another!
The two of them went in. They didn’t ask for a private room, but found a place to sit in the hall. Su Yicheng’s order seemed to be a coincidence. Anran actually found out that their tastes were almost the same, and she also happened to like what he liked to eat.
“So you like to eat these dishes too!” An ran said with joy.
“Yup,” Su Yicheng responded lightly with a good-looking smile on his lips.
Upon entering, he realized that the management style of this place was similar to youran cuisine. The only difference was the decoration and design. It was different from the low-key luxury that people said. Everything here was plain and simple. Just like the name of a restaurant, it was quiet and made people feel comfortable.
The dishes were served very quickly, and the taste was really good. It didn’t lose to youran cuisine at all.
“Did you bring me here for dinner today?” An ran asked as she took a bite of food.
Su Yicheng laughed and quickly picked up a piece of meat for her, saying, ” “No, I’ll Take You There after eating.”
“What kind of place is it?” An ran asked curiously.
Su Yicheng smiled but didn’t say anything. He only shook his head gently.
Anran cursed him in her heart and continued to eat her food. At this moment, a soft and sweet voice rang out from behind her.
“Special Assistant su, senior an ran!” His tone seemed to be filled with surprise and joy.
Su Yicheng raised his head and simply nodded with a smile on his face. However, that smile was a little distant and not warm.
Hearing this, Anran also turned her head and saw Tong Xiaojie, who was wearing a beige dress, looking at them with a smile.
“Senior Sister and special Assistant su also came here to eat!” Tong Xiaojie smiled as she walked over to them. &Quot; the food here is really good and the environment is also very good. &Quot;
Anran looked at her indifferently and turned her head without answering her.
Su Yicheng glanced at Anran, then looked up with a smile and nodded at Tong Xiaoyi. He asked, ” “Miss Tong, are you alone? Do you want to go together?”
“No, I’m coming with my husband.” Tong Xiaojie replied lightly. Then, she turned to look at Anran and saw that Anran was eating her meal calmly.
“Oh, really?” Su Yicheng nodded in understanding and didn’t say much. He then looked back at Anran gently, picked up another piece of meat, and put it in Anran’s bowl. &Quot; “Come, just a bit later, you’re too thin.”
Tong Xiaojie looked at them and smiled faintly. She said, ” Special Assistant su and senior, do you want to come with us? we have booked a private room inside. Chief Zhang of Yuanshan construction will be there too. &Quot; I think they must be very happy to see special Assistant su.”
&Quot; no, Anran and I have something to do later. Let’s meet again next time. &Quot; Su Yicheng refused.
Tong Xiaojie nodded and said regretfully, ” then we can only wait for the next time. &Quot;
“Okay, let’s meet again next time.” Su Yicheng nodded in agreement.
Tong Xiaojie said to Anran, ” senior, I’ll go first. You and special Assistant su can enjoy your meal. &Quot; He didn’t care whether an ran answered or not. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked toward the private room inside.
The atmosphere became a little strange after Tong Xiaojie came. Anran lowered her head and ate in silence, while su Yicheng looked at her with a slight frown.
Not long after, just as su Yicheng was about to say something, he saw Zhang Yuanshan, who was behind Anran, approach them with a big smile on his face. Mo Fei was also behind him.
“Special Assistant su, what a coincidence! You’re here for dinner too!” Zhang Yuanshan’s voice came before he approached.
Su Yicheng looked up at him, and a standard smile appeared on his face. He moved his chair away, stood up, and walked over to him. Seeing this, Anran also put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up. She turned around and happened to see mo Fei, who was behind Zhang Yuanshan.
Zhang Yuanshan was very happy to see su Yicheng and his wife. He had been trying to find time to invite su Yicheng to dinner as an apology for what happened at the banquet, but after calling him a few times, his Secretary had rejected him, and he didn’t even get to see him. This time, however, he didn’t expect to meet su Yicheng here when he invited mo Fei and Tong Xiaoxiao to discuss the future development of the company. What was even better was that mo Fei and Tong Xiaoxiao were classmates and schoolmates of su Yicheng’s wife, Gu Anran. Even if su Yicheng didn’t give him face, he would give mo Fei and Tong Xiaoxiao face. This was really wonderful!
Zhang Yuanshan warmly extended his hands to shake su Yicheng’s and repeatedly sighed, ” “Special Assistant su is here too. What a coincidence. I’ve been wanting to ask you out for lunch a few days ago, but you were too busy and didn’t give me the chance.”
Su Yicheng’s expression did not change as he shook his hand. The smile on his face was still warm as he nodded and said calmly, ” thank you for your love, President Zhang. I’ve been busy with the research recently, so I’ve been a little busy. &Quot;
&Quot; then it’s better to meet by chance than to invite someone. It seems that we are really fated to have this meal. Why don’t Special Assistant su condescend to come to our private room? ” Zhang Yuanshan invited.
Su Yicheng smiled faintly. &Quot; you’re too kind, President Zhang. &Quot; Then, he turned to look at Anran and saw that she was also looking at him quietly. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and his mood became much better.
This Zhang Yuanshan was also a smart person. From nothing to getting rich overnight, and then to being in the business world for so many years, it was basic to observe people’s expressions. Upon seeing this, he seemed to understand something. He turned to Anran and said, ” &Quot; Mrs. Su, I’m really sorry about what happened at the cocktail party last time. Can I take this opportunity today to have the honor to invite you to a meal as an apology for what happened last time? ”
Upon hearing this, Anran turned her head to look at su Yicheng, only to see that he was only looking at her with a smile and had no intention of speaking. An ran thought that it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so she wanted to do it herself. Thinking of this, he turned to Zhang Yuanshan and said with a faint smile, ” &Quot; you must be joking, Mr. Zhang. We’ve already made things clear last time. It was just a misunderstanding. There’s no need for you to keep it in mind. &Quot;
&Quot; haha, it’s Mrs. SU’s magnanimity. Even if it wasn’t for what happened last time, it just so happens that mo Fei and Xiao Xiao are here today. The three of you were classmates and schoolmates before. Xiao Xiao and the others just came back from abroad. You haven’t seen each other for many years. Today is a good time to catch up. &Quot; Zhang Yuanshan said. He turned to mo Fei and said, ” “Don’t you think so, mo Fei?”
Only then did mo Fei snap back to his senses. He nodded in a daze, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was bitter. He nodded in agreement and looked at Anran firmly. &Quot; yes, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and we do have a lot to talk about. Anran, let’s have a seat. The Osmanthus fish here is not bad. I remember that you used to like steamed Osmanthus fish the most. &Quot;
An ran’s face stiffened, and her smile froze on her face. She avoided his eyes and did not look at him.
Naturally, su Yicheng noticed her change and strangeness. He reached out to hold her hand and smiled affectionately at her. Then, he turned to look at mo Fei and said calmly, ” it’s rare that President mo still remembers what Anran likes to eat, but habits are a strange thing. Some people used to like and even love some things very much, but after a long time, their taste will change, especially when you’ve rejected a dish for six years. Can you still remember the taste of it? ”
Mo Fei stiffened, and his body was obviously in a daze. He looked at su Yicheng and stiffly said, ” “Maybe it’s because I haven’t eaten it for six years. I’m afraid I’ll only miss the taste of the past even more.”
Zhang Yuanshan was a little confused. It had only been a while, and they were already talking about food?
The smile on su Yicheng’s face didn’t change, and he still said in a carefree manner, ” &Quot; maybe she missed it at the beginning. After all, she loved it so much. It’s like quitting smoking and drinking. The most difficult time is in the beginning, but if she doesn’t want to eat it after a long time, which has been as long as six years, it can only prove that she has successfully removed this dish from her hobby. &Quot;
&Quot; how do you know that she hasn’t thought about that dish? perhaps she has thought about it day and night and has never forgotten! &Quot; Mo Fei’s emotions started to get a little agitated.
&Quot; perhaps it’s as you said, President mo. She really has a deep affection for that dish and can’t forget it for a long time, but in the end, she didn’t eat it. There’s only one reason, and that is that this dish hurt her too deeply. That wound made her afraid and fearful. &Quot; Su Yicheng said.
Hearing this, mo Fei turned his head to look at Anran, who was standing next to him, and couldn’t help but ask, ” “Is that so?”
Zhang Yuanshan seemed to have heard something mysterious, but the scene at the moment was very strange, so he had to ask jokingly, ” “Did Mrs. Su get a fish bone stuck in her throat before?”
Anran didn’t know how to reply, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at su Yicheng.
Su Yicheng was still smiling gently. He reached out and naturally wrapped his arms around Anran’s waist, then jokingly said to Zhang Yuanshan, ” &Quot; that’s right. Back then, I got a big fish bone stuck in it. From then on, I’ve been a little afraid of mandarin fish. &Quot;
“Haha, I see, I see.” Zhang Yuanshan nodded. “Then I’m afraid Mrs. Su won’t dare to touch the fish in the future.”
“Not that one either.” Su Yicheng shook his head, turned to mo Fei, and said with a faint smile, ” &Quot; there’s nothing that can’t be replaced. There are other fish if you don’t eat mandarin fish. It’s just the bones that got stuck. It’s true that you’re traumatized by mandarin fish, but it doesn’t matter if it’s other fish. You can’t miss out on all the other fish’s delicacies just for one mandarin fish, right, President mo? ”
Mo Fei was stunned and couldn’t say a word. His hands that were resting on both sides of his thighs clenched tightly into fists. His nails dug deep into his palms, but he didn’t feel any pain.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Zhang Yuanshan naturally saw something and quickly smiled.”Then let’s not have mandarin fish today. Special Assistant su and Mrs. Su can go over. I have to have a few drinks with Special Assistant su tonight.”
Speaking of drinking, Anran subconsciously said, ” “He can’t drink!”
“Why?” Zhang Yuanshan was stunned and asked. He had heard that su Yicheng’s alcohol tolerance was good, and he was just thinking about whether he should open a bottle of high-quality Maotai to suit his appetite.
After Anran finished speaking, she felt that she had spoken too abruptly and regretted speaking too quickly. She didn’t know what it was like to be the wife of a government official. On TV, she usually just stood there with a smile on her face. If that was really the case, then she seemed to have spoken too much. She looked at su Yicheng with some annoyance, only to see him looking at her with a smile.
Seeing that they didn’t answer, and su Yicheng didn’t refute, Zhang Yuanshan jokingly said, ” “Haha, it seems that Special Assistant su really loves his wife.” What he meant was that su Yicheng was afraid of his wife, and Anran didn’t give in just because she said so. He just didn’t expect that su Yicheng, a strong and iron-fisted man, would actually be afraid of his wife!
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng smiled and only said, ” “A wife is meant to be loved after being married.”
Zhang Yuanshan nodded. &Quot; haha, yes, yes, yes. Special Assistant su is right. A wife should be married and loved. &Quot; Then, she turned to Anran and said, ” Mrs. Su, please give Special Assistant su a night off. Drinking is just to liven things up. We won’t drink too much. &Quot;
Anran shook her head and rejected him decisively. &Quot; I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang. Yicheng’s stomach hasn’t been very good recently. The doctor said that he should avoid smoking and drinking. &Quot; After the past few days, she was afraid. It was fine if she was not by his side usually, but she was here today. She knew about his stomach’s condition, so she naturally would not let him drink.
“Uh, is Special Assistant su not feeling well? is it a big problem?” Zhang Yuanshan asked out of concern.
&Quot; hehe, it’s an ran who’s too nervous. It’s just an old problem. It’s no big deal. &Quot; Su Yicheng said in a relaxed tone. He glanced at mo Fei from the corner of his eye, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Mo Fei was speechless. He only looked at him and Anran, and his clenched fists tightened.
&Quot; then let’s not drink today. Let’s sit down and eat. The food here is really delicious. &Quot; Zhang Yuanshan said again. Today, he had to drag su Yicheng along no matter what. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to ask him out for a meal next time. He turned to Anran and said, ” Xiaoxiao was just talking about Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su, Xiaoxiao, and Mo Fei have been classmates for so many years. Why don’t you come over tonight and have a chat? ”
Anran looked at su Yicheng with a troubled expression. She didn’t want to stay, especially in front of mo Fei and Tong Xiaojie. She didn’t want to have anything to do with these two people.
Su Yicheng naturally knew what she was thinking, so he nodded slightly at her, then turned to Zhang Yuanshan and said, ” &Quot; you’re too kind, President Zhang, but I really can’t do it tonight. Anran and I have something to do later, so it looks like we’ll have to wait until next time for this meal. &Quot;
&Quot; uh, this … &Quot; Zhang Yuanshan still wanted to say something, but he was directly interrupted by su Yicheng.
&Quot; how about this, President Zhang, I’ll pay for tonight’s meal. Next time, next time when you’re free, we’ll call President Xiao to sit down and have a chat. &Quot; Su Yicheng said with a smile.
Seeing that he said so, Zhang Yuanshan didn’t say anything more. &Quot; since Special Assistant su and Mrs. Su have something to do tonight, we can’t force them. After all, business is more important. But as for this order, Special Assistant su is too polite. If you want to count, you can only count your meal on me. Special Assistant su can pay for it. &Quot;
&Quot; haha, Mr. Zhang, don’t fight with me. I’m the host here today. This restaurant belongs to my sister, so you don’t have to be so polite with me. &Quot; Su Yicheng said.
“Uh,” Zhang Yuanshan was stunned. He had not thought of this at all. As a result, he could no longer refuse and insist, so he laughed dryly and said, ” “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to thank Special Assistant su first. It’s a waste of money.”
Su Yicheng smiled gently. &Quot; I naturally have to take care of my own sister. &Quot;
Zhang Yuanshan smiled and nodded, but he had no intention of leaving.
Su Yicheng glanced at him, then turned his head and asked Anran in a gentle voice, ” are you full? ”
Anran nodded. &Quot; I’m full. &Quot; In fact, they had almost finished eating just now. They just didn’t expect to meet Tong Xiaojie here, nor did they expect her to call Zhang Yuanshan and Mo Fei out.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng turned to Zhang Yuanshan and Mo Fei, who were standing aside, and said, ” &Quot; President Zhang, President mo, you can continue. Anran and I still have something to do, so we’ll be leaving first. &Quot;
“Alright, alright, go on with your work.” Zhang Yuanshan quickly responded with a smile, while mo Fei, who was standing next to her, stared straight at Anran, as if he was holding back something.
Su Yicheng nodded with a faint smile, took the bag from Anran’s seat, and then walked toward the counter while holding Anran’s hand.
After watching them pay the bill and leave the restaurant, Zhang Yuanshan turned around and was about to return to the private room. He said to mo Fei, ” “Let’s go,” he said.
Mo Fei stared at the entrance of the restaurant. He could naturally hear what su Yicheng had just said, but he was unwilling to accept it, very unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do now. At first, he thought that su Yicheng was just a small employee of some company, and no matter how good his temperament was, he was just working for someone else. He could give her a safe and stable life, but he couldn’t give her the best life. This was the result he came to after seeing him drive that car.
He had even thought that even if he was with Anran now, after half a year, as long as it was just half a year, he would definitely disregard everything and let her return to his side. However, he didn’t expect su Yicheng to be the special Assistant of the mayor of Jiangcheng, nor did he expect that he had the powerful su family behind him! He had no confidence with such an identity.
Seeing that he did not move, Zhang Yuanshan called again, ” could it be? ”
Could it be that this dish had come back to his senses and nodded at him, saying, ” “I’m going to the washroom.” As he spoke, he headed straight for the washroom. At this moment, he needed to calm himself down. Otherwise, he didn’t know how to face Tong Xiaojie, who was in the private room!
The next day was Monday, and su Yicheng drove Anran to work first. Anran turned her head to look outside and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere was a little heavy.
The car slowly stopped in front of the building of ‘Jingcheng construction’. After the engine was turned off, Anran unbuckled her seat belt, turned her head to thank su Yicheng, and picked up her bag to open the door and get out of the car.
“An ran.” Su Yicheng grabbed her hand when she opened the door.
Anran turned her head, looked at him in confusion, and asked, ” “What’s wrong?”
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just smiled. Then, he pulled her over, leaned over, and kissed her on the forehead before letting her go. With a faint smile on his face, he helped her adjust her folded neckline, and then said softly, ” “Go to work. Remember to wait for me tonight?”
Anran nodded, her face red from his kiss. She looked at him and couldn’t help but remind him, ” “Be careful when you drive.”
Su Yicheng smiled and nodded.
Perhaps she was still a little shy and embarrassed, but Anran didn’t dare to look him in the eye. She quickly turned around and got out of the car, then quickly walked toward the office building. On the way, she didn’t forget to turn her head to look. Seeing that he was still looking at her, she waved at him and walked in without looking back.
In the car, su Yicheng shook his head and laughed. He didn’t start the car and leave until her figure disappeared behind the door.
When Anran arrived at the office, she felt that the atmosphere was a little off. They seemed to be discussing something in the office, but when they saw her coming, they quickly pretended to leave.
Anran didn’t ask any more questions and returned to her office.
She seemed to have had too much soup for lunch, so she ran to the bathroom several times in the afternoon.
Less than a minute after Anran went in, two female colleagues in the office also came to the bathroom. They were here to touch up their makeup. No, to be more precise, they were here to chat and gossip.
&Quot; did you see the corner of Xiao Xiao’s eye? there’s a big scratch. &Quot; One of them said.
Another person replied, ” who didn’t see it? did she think that she could cover it up by wearing sunglasses? this is clearly a lie. Who in the company doesn’t know about her and Huang Dexing’s scandal? this time, she was caught red-handed by the main wife. She’s lucky that she only got a scratch on the corner of her eye. How many cases does she have on hand? she dresses up every day in a devilish way. &Quot;

&Quot; sigh, she can only rely on her face and her skills in bed to be so domineering in the office. Are you jealous? if you’re jealous, then go buy a few pieces of cloth and draw more seductresses every day. Then, when the director comes over, you’ll throw flirtatious glances at him. Maybe you don’t need to draw and you can directly become another beautiful designer in our company. &Quot;
&Quot; go to hell. I’d rather draw for the rest of my life than serve an old man that can be me at that age. &Quot;
Outside, the two of them laughed and laughed for a while. After washing their hands, they were about to leave. However, when they turned around and were about to leave, they were suddenly shocked to see Xiao Xiao’s Black face, which covered half of her face. Her big waves were still flirtatious, and her tight suit complemented her impressive figure.
“Designer, designer Xiao.” The two of them, who had been chatting and laughing just now, were dumbfounded. They didn’t know when Xiao Xiao had come in or how much she had heard.
Xiao Xiao stepped forward. The black figure covered half of her face, so no one could see her expression at the moment.
The two of them, who had been joking around, suddenly became listless. They looked at Xiao Xiao, who gave in to her with a dry smile, and stuttered, ” “We, we’ll go out first.”
Xiao Xiao stood in front of the glass counter and reached out to take off her sunglasses. The corner of her eye had a bright red and slender gash, and the surrounding dark circles were red and swollen. Expressionlessly, she took out the powder box from her bag and opened it to get a powder puff to touch up her makeup, focusing on the corner of her eyes.
Seeing this, the two of them turned around and were about to leave when they heard Xiao Xiao say indifferently, ” you don’t have to come tomorrow. &Quot; His tone was neither fast nor slow, neither salty nor light.
Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly stood up, turned around, and said with a sad face, ” &Quot; s-sister Xiao, we were wrong. We didn’t do it on purpose. We don’t mean any harm. Please don’t take it to heart. &Quot;
Xiao Xiao looked at herself in the mirror indifferently and skillfully touched up her makeup, trying to cover the redness and swelling on her face. He did not even look at the two people behind him.
Seeing that she was unmoved and had no reaction at all, he didn’t know what her attitude was. Although he didn’t like her, she was still Huang Dexing’s people after all. If he really wanted them to leave, it wasn’t impossible.
The corner of her eye was so red and swollen that the foundation couldn’t cover half of it. The excessive powder made the corner of her eye look strange and awkward. She clenched the powder puff tightly in her hand and thought of the scene of her being caught by Huang Dexing’s evil woman yesterday. Then, she thought of Huang Dexing standing aside and watching her get beaten up indifferently. The anger in her chest grew wildly, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She turned her head, glared at them, and roared, ” “What are you still doing here? get lost!”
The two of them were shocked. At that moment, the corners of Xiao Xiao’s eyes were red and swollen. Her expression was ferocious, and she looked really terrifying.
“What are you looking at? get out.”
One of them was not to be outdone and retorted, ” you, what right do you have to ask us to leave? besides, what we said just now was the truth. If you’re afraid of people talking about it, then don’t do it. You’ve done it and you’re not letting people talk about it. Why are you acting all high and mighty? ”
“What did you just say?” Xiao Xiao stepped forward and glared at her with eyes that seemed to be able to eat people. It was terrifying. She gritted her teeth and said, ” “I dare you to say that again!”
The man swallowed his saliva and kept stepping back. The other man standing beside him looked a little scared. He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere before he said, ” &Quot; s-sister Xiao, ” Xiao Xiao said. She was so scared that she couldn’t say a word when she looked at her.
“哗啦啦啦——”
just as they were in a stalemate outside, anran came out of the bathroom after washing up. she turned her head and glanced at them, then turned to the sink.
xiao xiao suddenly turned to anran, glared at her, and asked, ” “what are you doing here?”
anran glanced at her in the mirror, turned on the water, applied the hand wash, and began to wash her hands. she said, ” “i’m going to the toilet.”
“You heard everything!” Xiao Xiao’s hands, which were placed on both sides of her thighs, were tightly clenched into fists. She had not expected that she would be in the bathroom. She had heard her embarrassing and unbearable words!
Without looking at her, an ran replied indifferently, ” “I’m not deaf,” Moreover, she couldn’t even pretend that she didn’t hear them even if she wanted to!
Xiao Xiao’s chest heaved up and down as she looked at her and sneered, ” “You’re very proud now, aren’t you? you’re snickering, snickering at me for having such a day, aren’t you? You must be very happy to see me make a fool of myself.”
Anran rinsed her hands with water and wiped the water off her hands with a tissue. She turned her head and looked at her calmly, then said, ” you always like to force your thoughts on others. I don’t think so, but you must think so. I can’t do anything about it, because your thoughts are your own. I can’t change them. &Quot;
“Hmph, you make it sound nice. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re waiting to see me make a fool of myself.” Xiao Xiao said harshly.
Anran sneered. &Quot; don’t think that everyone is like you. Not everyone is as narrow-minded as you. &Quot;
“You!” Xiao Xiao was so angry that her chest felt like it was being bullied.
An ran didn’t say anything more. She walked past her and was about to leave.
&Quot; how good do you think you are? you’re just lucky enough to have su Yicheng with you. Otherwise, you’d be nothing! &Quot; Xiao Xiao said with hatred.
Anran smiled and nodded. She didn’t deny her words and said, ” “I’m indeed lucky.”
&Quot; Hmph, I’ve seen many people like him. I’m afraid he’s just playing around. When he’s tired of you, he might just kick you away. &Quot; Xiao Xiao said harshly, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger.
Anran smiled faintly and ignored her. She walked straight out of the bathroom, and when she passed by the two girls, she said to them, ” “Are you guys done with the drawing I asked you to do last week?”
&Quot; uh … &Quot; the two were stunned. What map? they looked at each other, not knowing what Anran was talking about.
Anran furrowed her brows and gave them a look. She pretended to be stern and said, ” “You haven’t even drawn a picture, and you’re still chatting? Hurry up and go back to your drawing!”
Only then did the two of them come back to their senses. They hurriedly nodded and said, ” “We’ll go back now, we’ll go back now.” Then, she quickly turned around and left the washroom.
Xiao Xiao watched them leave in anger. Finally, she grabbed the powder box and smashed it on the ground.
Outside the bathroom, the two people who had been gossiping in the bathroom just now thanked Anran. If it hadn’t been for her appearance, they would have really gotten into a fight with Xiao Xiao. After all, Xiao Xiao was Huang Dexing’s woman. If she really wanted to get over them, it wouldn’t be a joke.
Anran nodded slightly and only warned them, ” don’t talk so much in the future. &Quot; Whoever heard them gossiping behind their backs would be angry.
The two of them nodded repeatedly. They didn’t dare to do so anymore. They were scared to death.
Anran didn’t say anything more and went straight back to her office.
When it was almost time to get off work, Huang Dexing called her to his office and handed her a pile of documents, saying that the company was planning to compete for an overseas case in the near future and would be bidding in a month’s time. The time was a little tight because, in addition to the design drawings, the company also had to produce a sample room, and there would be a professional to evaluate and check it.
“I-I’m really in charge of this project?” An ran was flattered.
Huang Dexing raised his eyebrows and asked, ” “What, you’re not confident?”
“No, I, I’m just a little surprised.” After all, this project was too big and would affect the company’s future development overseas.
“I believe you. You have a good understanding of design. Of course, I’ll still say the same thing. If you have any problems, you can come to me directly. If you can’t make a decision, you can also come to me for advice.” Huang Dexing said with a smile.
Anran nodded and took the pile of documents on the table. She promised, ” I will try my best and won’t let you down! &Quot;
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to show me your design.”
“Yes.” Anran nodded happily, then left the office with the information he gave her.
The project this time was a large-scale Manor with various activity and leisure areas. The area and area were very large, and the investment was even more huge. Because the investor was the ‘Jason consortium’ of the United Kingdom, which was a noble consortium in the United Kingdom, the media from all over the world had a high degree of attention to the project they launched this time. So if ‘sincerity construction’ could win this project in one fell swoop, then it would undoubtedly be a huge success, whether it was in China or abroad.
While Anran was excitedly looking at the information she had gotten from Huang Dexing, su Yicheng’s phone rang. Su Yicheng was already downstairs, but he didn’t see Anran, so he called to ask if she was still busy.
It was only then that Anran remembered that su Yicheng had said yesterday that he was going to take her to a mysterious place today. She packed her things and put the documents into her briefcase before going downstairs.
When she arrived downstairs, su Yicheng’s car was already parked at the company’s main gate. When he saw her coming out of the building, he opened the door and got out of the car. He looked at her with a faint smile on his face.
Anran trotted forward and looked at him apologetically. &Quot; “Have you waited long? I’m sorry, I forgot about it when I was looking at the information.”
Su Yicheng smiled and reached out to smooth her hair, which was a little messy from running, then opened the car door and said, ” “Get in the car.”
Anran nodded, smiled at him, and got into the car.
Su Yitian closed the car door for her like a gentleman, then walked around the front of the car and got in from the other side.
After he got into the car, Anran couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” “Where are we going?” He had said yesterday that he was going to take her to a place, but he had kept it a secret from her.
Su Yicheng started the car and turned to smile at her. &Quot; let’s go eat first. &Quot;
The car slowly stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant with its own unique characteristics. All kinds of luxury cars were gathered at the entrance, and it was a little dazzling.
Anran raised her head. She had heard of Yiran garden before. It had just opened two months ago. On the day of its opening, she heard that a famous celebrity in the country was invited to come to the stage and attract countless people. Some fans even traveled thousands of miles, unafraid of the hardship, just to see their idol. And because of the celebrity’s promotion, the restaurant’s reputation spread quickly. Moreover, on the opening day, the owner of this ‘Yiran garden’ even spared no expense to organize a free day of food tasting event. In addition, the restaurant’s chef’s excellent cooking skills made almost everyone who had eaten it praise it endlessly. The latter part of the people became the restaurant’s loyal customers, even though the cost here was not cheap. She was also introducing the newly opened Chinese restaurant to her friends and relatives.
“Let’s go. I heard that this restaurant’s Zhejiang cuisine is pretty good.” As su Yicheng spoke, he took her hand and led her into the dining room.
“Have you eaten here before?” An ran asked casually.
Su Yicheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, ” “No, that girl yijiao told me.”
“Yijiao! She has her own restaurant, why would she come to someone else’s?”
“Hahaha. Didn’t I tell you that this restaurant also belongs to yijiao?” Su Yicheng said, amused.
Anran’s eyes widened and she shook her head. She didn’t expect yijiao to be the Queen of the gastronomic industry in Jiangcheng. She looked like a child, but she didn’t expect her to open one restaurant after another!
The two of them went in. They didn’t ask for a private room, but found a place to sit in the hall. Su Yicheng’s order seemed to be a coincidence. Anran actually found out that their tastes were almost the same, and she also happened to like what he liked to eat.
“So you like to eat these dishes too!” An ran said with joy.
“Yup,” Su Yicheng responded lightly with a good-looking smile on his lips.
Upon entering, he realized that the management style of this place was similar to youran cuisine. The only difference was the decoration and design. It was different from the low-key luxury that people said. Everything here was plain and simple. Just like the name of a restaurant, it was quiet and made people feel comfortable.
The dishes were served very quickly, and the taste was really good. It didn’t lose to youran cuisine at all.
“Did you bring me here for dinner today?” An ran asked as she took a bite of food.
Su Yicheng laughed and quickly picked up a piece of meat for her, saying, ” “No, I’ll Take You There after eating.”
“What kind of place is it?” An ran asked curiously.
Su Yicheng smiled but didn’t say anything. He only shook his head gently.
Anran cursed him in her heart and continued to eat her food. At this moment, a soft and sweet voice rang out from behind her.
“Special Assistant su, senior an ran!” His tone seemed to be filled with surprise and joy.
Su Yicheng raised his head and simply nodded with a smile on his face. However, that smile was a little distant and not warm.
Hearing this, Anran also turned her head and saw Tong Xiaojie, who was wearing a beige dress, looking at them with a smile.
“Senior Sister and special Assistant su also came here to eat!” Tong Xiaojie smiled as she walked over to them. &Quot; the food here is really good and the environment is also very good. &Quot;
Anran looked at her indifferently and turned her head without answering her.
Su Yicheng glanced at Anran, then looked up with a smile and nodded at Tong Xiaoyi. He asked, ” “Miss Tong, are you alone? Do you want to go together?”
“No, I’m coming with my husband.” Tong Xiaojie replied lightly. Then, she turned to look at Anran and saw that Anran was eating her meal calmly.
“Oh, really?” Su Yicheng nodded in understanding and didn’t say much. He then looked back at Anran gently, picked up another piece of meat, and put it in Anran’s bowl. &Quot; “Come, just a bit later, you’re too thin.”
Tong Xiaojie looked at them and smiled faintly. She said, ” Special Assistant su and senior, do you want to come with us? we have booked a private room inside. Chief Zhang of Yuanshan construction will be there too. &Quot; I think they must be very happy to see special Assistant su.”
&Quot; no, Anran and I have something to do later. Let’s meet again next time. &Quot; Su Yicheng refused.
Tong Xiaojie nodded and said regretfully, ” then we can only wait for the next time. &Quot;
“Okay, let’s meet again next time.” Su Yicheng nodded in agreement.
Tong Xiaojie said to Anran, ” senior, I’ll go first. You and special Assistant su can enjoy your meal. &Quot; He didn’t care whether an ran answered or not. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked toward the private room inside.
The atmosphere became a little strange after Tong Xiaojie came. Anran lowered her head and ate in silence, while su Yicheng looked at her with a slight frown.
Not long after, just as su Yicheng was about to say something, he saw Zhang Yuanshan, who was behind Anran, approach them with a big smile on his face. Mo Fei was also behind him.
“Special Assistant su, what a coincidence! You’re here for dinner too!” Zhang Yuanshan’s voice came before he approached.
Su Yicheng looked up at him, and a standard smile appeared on his face. He moved his chair away, stood up, and walked over to him. Seeing this, Anran also put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up. She turned around and happened to see mo Fei, who was behind Zhang Yuanshan.
Zhang Yuanshan was very happy to see su Yicheng and his wife. He had been trying to find time to invite su Yicheng to dinner as an apology for what happened at the banquet, but after calling him a few times, his Secretary had rejected him, and he didn’t even get to see him. This time, however, he didn’t expect to meet su Yicheng here when he invited mo Fei and Tong Xiaoxiao to discuss the future development of the company. What was even better was that mo Fei and Tong Xiaoxiao were classmates and schoolmates of su Yicheng’s wife, Gu Anran. Even if su Yicheng didn’t give him face, he would give mo Fei and Tong Xiaoxiao face. This was really wonderful!
Zhang Yuanshan warmly extended his hands to shake su Yicheng’s and repeatedly sighed, ” “Special Assistant su is here too. What a coincidence. I’ve been wanting to ask you out for lunch a few days ago, but you were too busy and didn’t give me the chance.”
Su Yicheng’s expression did not change as he shook his hand. The smile on his face was still warm as he nodded and said calmly, ” thank you for your love, President Zhang. I’ve been busy with the research recently, so I’ve been a little busy. &Quot;
&Quot; then it’s better to meet by chance than to invite someone. It seems that we are really fated to have this meal. Why don’t Special Assistant su condescend to come to our private room? ” Zhang Yuanshan invited.
Su Yicheng smiled faintly. &Quot; you’re too kind, President Zhang. &Quot; Then, he turned to look at Anran and saw that she was also looking at him quietly. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and his mood became much better.
This Zhang Yuanshan was also a smart person. From nothing to getting rich overnight, and then to being in the business world for so many years, it was basic to observe people’s expressions. Upon seeing this, he seemed to understand something. He turned to Anran and said, ” &Quot; Mrs. Su, I’m really sorry about what happened at the cocktail party last time. Can I take this opportunity today to have the honor to invite you to a meal as an apology for what happened last time? ”
Upon hearing this, Anran turned her head to look at su Yicheng, only to see that he was only looking at her with a smile and had no intention of speaking. An ran thought that it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so she wanted to do it herself. Thinking of this, he turned to Zhang Yuanshan and said with a faint smile, ” &Quot; you must be joking, Mr. Zhang. We’ve already made things clear last time. It was just a misunderstanding. There’s no need for you to keep it in mind. &Quot;
&Quot; haha, it’s Mrs. SU’s magnanimity. Even if it wasn’t for what happened last time, it just so happens that mo Fei and Xiao Xiao are here today. The three of you were classmates and schoolmates before. Xiao Xiao and the others just came back from abroad. You haven’t seen each other for many years. Today is a good time to catch up. &Quot; Zhang Yuanshan said. He turned to mo Fei and said, ” “Don’t you think so, mo Fei?”
Only then did mo Fei snap back to his senses. He nodded in a daze, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was bitter. He nodded in agreement and looked at Anran firmly. &Quot; yes, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and we do have a lot to talk about. Anran, let’s have a seat. The Osmanthus fish here is not bad. I remember that you used to like steamed Osmanthus fish the most. &Quot;
An ran’s face stiffened, and her smile froze on her face. She avoided his eyes and did not look at him.
Naturally, su Yicheng noticed her change and strangeness. He reached out to hold her hand and smiled affectionately at her. Then, he turned to look at mo Fei and said calmly, ” it’s rare that President mo still remembers what Anran likes to eat, but habits are a strange thing. Some people used to like and even love some things very much, but after a long time, their taste will change, especially when you’ve rejected a dish for six years. Can you still remember the taste of it? ”
Mo Fei stiffened, and his body was obviously in a daze. He looked at su Yicheng and stiffly said, ” “Maybe it’s because I haven’t eaten it for six years. I’m afraid I’ll only miss the taste of the past even more.”
Zhang Yuanshan was a little confused. It had only been a while, and they were already talking about food?
The smile on su Yicheng’s face didn’t change, and he still said in a carefree manner, ” &Quot; maybe she missed it at the beginning. After all, she loved it so much. It’s like quitting smoking and drinking. The most difficult time is in the beginning, but if she doesn’t want to eat it after a long time, which has been as long as six years, it can only prove that she has successfully removed this dish from her hobby. &Quot;
&Quot; how do you know that she hasn’t thought about that dish? perhaps she has thought about it day and night and has never forgotten! &Quot; Mo Fei’s emotions started to get a little agitated.
&Quot; perhaps it’s as you said, President mo. She really has a deep affection for that dish and can’t forget it for a long time, but in the end, she didn’t eat it. There’s only one reason, and that is that this dish hurt her too deeply. That wound made her afraid and fearful. &Quot; Su Yicheng said.
Hearing this, mo Fei turned his head to look at Anran, who was standing next to him, and couldn’t help but ask, ” “Is that so?”
Zhang Yuanshan seemed to have heard something mysterious, but the scene at the moment was very strange, so he had to ask jokingly, ” “Did Mrs. Su get a fish bone stuck in her throat before?”
Anran didn’t know how to reply, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at su Yicheng.
Su Yicheng was still smiling gently. He reached out and naturally wrapped his arms around Anran’s waist, then jokingly said to Zhang Yuanshan, ” &Quot; that’s right. Back then, I got a big fish bone stuck in it. From then on, I’ve been a little afraid of mandarin fish. &Quot;
“Haha, I see, I see.” Zhang Yuanshan nodded. “Then I’m afraid Mrs. Su won’t dare to touch the fish in the future.”
“Not that one either.” Su Yicheng shook his head, turned to mo Fei, and said with a faint smile, ” &Quot; there’s nothing that can’t be replaced. There are other fish if you don’t eat mandarin fish. It’s just the bones that got stuck. It’s true that you’re traumatized by mandarin fish, but it doesn’t matter if it’s other fish. You can’t miss out on all the other fish’s delicacies just for one mandarin fish, right, President mo? ”
Mo Fei was stunned and couldn’t say a word. His hands that were resting on both sides of his thighs clenched tightly into fists. His nails dug deep into his palms, but he didn’t feel any pain.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Zhang Yuanshan naturally saw something and quickly smiled.”Then let’s not have mandarin fish today. Special Assistant su and Mrs. Su can go over. I have to have a few drinks with Special Assistant su tonight.”
Speaking of drinking, Anran subconsciously said, ” “He can’t drink!”
“Why?” Zhang Yuanshan was stunned and asked. He had heard that su Yicheng’s alcohol tolerance was good, and he was just thinking about whether he should open a bottle of high-quality Maotai to suit his appetite.
After Anran finished speaking, she felt that she had spoken too abruptly and regretted speaking too quickly. She didn’t know what it was like to be the wife of a government official. On TV, she usually just stood there with a smile on her face. If that was really the case, then she seemed to have spoken too much. She looked at su Yicheng with some annoyance, only to see him looking at her with a smile.
Seeing that they didn’t answer, and su Yicheng didn’t refute, Zhang Yuanshan jokingly said, ” “Haha, it seems that Special Assistant su really loves his wife.” What he meant was that su Yicheng was afraid of his wife, and Anran didn’t give in just because she said so. He just didn’t expect that su Yicheng, a strong and iron-fisted man, would actually be afraid of his wife!
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng smiled and only said, ” “A wife is meant to be loved after being married.”
Zhang Yuanshan nodded. &Quot; haha, yes, yes, yes. Special Assistant su is right. A wife should be married and loved. &Quot; Then, she turned to Anran and said, ” Mrs. Su, please give Special Assistant su a night off. Drinking is just to liven things up. We won’t drink too much. &Quot;
Anran shook her head and rejected him decisively. &Quot; I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang. Yicheng’s stomach hasn’t been very good recently. The doctor said that he should avoid smoking and drinking. &Quot; After the past few days, she was afraid. It was fine if she was not by his side usually, but she was here today. She knew about his stomach’s condition, so she naturally would not let him drink.
“Uh, is Special Assistant su not feeling well? is it a big problem?” Zhang Yuanshan asked out of concern.
&Quot; hehe, it’s an ran who’s too nervous. It’s just an old problem. It’s no big deal. &Quot; Su Yicheng said in a relaxed tone. He glanced at mo Fei from the corner of his eye, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Mo Fei was speechless. He only looked at him and Anran, and his clenched fists tightened.
&Quot; then let’s not drink today. Let’s sit down and eat. The food here is really delicious. &Quot; Zhang Yuanshan said again. Today, he had to drag su Yicheng along no matter what. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to ask him out for a meal next time. He turned to Anran and said, ” Xiaoxiao was just talking about Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su, Xiaoxiao, and Mo Fei have been classmates for so many years. Why don’t you come over tonight and have a chat? ”
Anran looked at su Yicheng with a troubled expression. She didn’t want to stay, especially in front of mo Fei and Tong Xiaojie. She didn’t want to have anything to do with these two people.
Su Yicheng naturally knew what she was thinking, so he nodded slightly at her, then turned to Zhang Yuanshan and said, ” &Quot; you’re too kind, President Zhang, but I really can’t do it tonight. Anran and I have something to do later, so it looks like we’ll have to wait until next time for this meal. &Quot;
&Quot; uh, this … &Quot; Zhang Yuanshan still wanted to say something, but he was directly interrupted by su Yicheng.
&Quot; how about this, President Zhang, I’ll pay for tonight’s meal. Next time, next time when you’re free, we’ll call President Xiao to sit down and have a chat. &Quot; Su Yicheng said with a smile.
Seeing that he said so, Zhang Yuanshan didn’t say anything more. &Quot; since Special Assistant su and Mrs. Su have something to do tonight, we can’t force them. After all, business is more important. But as for this order, Special Assistant su is too polite. If you want to count, you can only count your meal on me. Special Assistant su can pay for it. &Quot;
&Quot; haha, Mr. Zhang, don’t fight with me. I’m the host here today. This restaurant belongs to my sister, so you don’t have to be so polite with me. &Quot; Su Yicheng said.
“Uh,” Zhang Yuanshan was stunned. He had not thought of this at all. As a result, he could no longer refuse and insist, so he laughed dryly and said, ” “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to thank Special Assistant su first. It’s a waste of money.”
Su Yicheng smiled gently. &Quot; I naturally have to take care of my own sister. &Quot;
Zhang Yuanshan smiled and nodded, but he had no intention of leaving.
Su Yicheng glanced at him, then turned his head and asked Anran in a gentle voice, ” are you full? ”
Anran nodded. &Quot; I’m full. &Quot; In fact, they had almost finished eating just now. They just didn’t expect to meet Tong Xiaojie here, nor did they expect her to call Zhang Yuanshan and Mo Fei out.
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng turned to Zhang Yuanshan and Mo Fei, who were standing aside, and said, ” &Quot; President Zhang, President mo, you can continue. Anran and I still have something to do, so we’ll be leaving first. &Quot;
“Alright, alright, go on with your work.” Zhang Yuanshan quickly responded with a smile, while mo Fei, who was standing next to her, stared straight at Anran, as if he was holding back something.
Su Yicheng nodded with a faint smile, took the bag from Anran’s seat, and then walked toward the counter while holding Anran’s hand.
After watching them pay the bill and leave the restaurant, Zhang Yuanshan turned around and was about to return to the private room. He said to mo Fei, ” “Let’s go,” he said.
Mo Fei stared at the entrance of the restaurant. He could naturally hear what su Yicheng had just said, but he was unwilling to accept it, very unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do now. At first, he thought that su Yicheng was just a small employee of some company, and no matter how good his temperament was, he was just working for someone else. He could give her a safe and stable life, but he couldn’t give her the best life. This was the result he came to after seeing him drive that car.
He had even thought that even if he was with Anran now, after half a year, as long as it was just half a year, he would definitely disregard everything and let her return to his side. However, he didn’t expect su Yicheng to be the special Assistant of the mayor of Jiangcheng, nor did he expect that he had the powerful su family behind him! He had no confidence with such an identity.
Seeing that he did not move, Zhang Yuanshan called again, ” could it be? ”
Could it be that this dish had come back to his senses and nodded at him, saying, ” “I’m going to the washroom.” As he spoke, he headed straight for the washroom. At this moment, he needed to calm himself down. Otherwise, he didn’t know how to face Tong Xiaojie, who was in the private room!
