144. Scenes
The next day she woke up, Su Yi Cheng had already gotten out of bed. An Ran dazedly got up and washed her face, and when she opened the door Auntie Zhang had already came over. Apparently as she was waking up she had already gone to the market, and was now using the time to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Seeing that An Ran was up, she quickly washed her hands and said, “Madam, you"re up. I"ll warm up breakfast for you.”
An Ran sat in front of the bar, took the milk that Auntie Zhang had given her, and asked, “Did Yi Cheng make breakfast?”
“Yeah, I just came over in the morning when I met the mister as he was leaving. He was quite early, it was only 7 when he left, and even made breakfast.” Auntie Zhang said as she took out the breakfast that Su Yi Cheng made out of the microwave and carried it over to her.
An Ran smiled faintly, it was a satisfied happiness.
An Ran sat in the living room and watched TV, it was a cooking program. Meanwhile, Lin Li called her, and said that she wanted to take a walk with her. Hearing that, An Ran just shook her head, and said she had walked around the entire day yesterday with Su Yi Cheng, so her legs were still sore from that.
“Then come out and have a meal together, I haven"t seen you for so long, I want to rub my adopted son.” Lin Li said over the phone.
“Ha, then you come over, I"m at home.” An Ran smiled. Lin Li and Su Yi Cheng have opposite wishes. Lin Li has been insistent that she must have a son, while Su Yi Cheng must have a daughter. In fact, thinking about it made her laugh. Whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl was nothing she could control, it depends on fate. Actually if it were up to her, what she wants the most is one girl and one boy.
“Well you should come out, I, I have something I want to tell you.” Lin Li"s tone was a little strange, “I"ll wait until I"m in front of your house to pick you up, and I"ll call you.”
An Ran frowned, unconvincingly, and asked, “What is it, that I have to come out for you to tell me?”
“Ai ya, you"ll know by then.” Lin Li did not explain, and half-heartedly said, “Alright, I won"t speak anymore, let"s just leave it at that.” After she was done speaking she did not wait for An Ran to talk, and just hung up the phone.
“How strange.” An Ran looked at the phone and muttered a few words, then directly said to Auntie Zhang, “Auntie Zhang, don"t make lunch, I"m going out soon.”
“Oh, okay.” Auntie Zhang nodded and agreed.
When An Ran changed her clothes, Lin Li"s call just came in and said she was downstairs and she can just come down.
An Ran wore the maternity dress they bought last time. Originally she thought it would be a while until she wore it, did not expect to have twins, the stomach is double the average person"s.
When An Ran came down, only to see a red Audi parked at the community door. She did not know what series, but she still recognized those four circles.
Lin Li put down the window of the driver"s seat and smiled. An Ran stared incredulously, “Lin Li!”
Lin Li smiled guiltily, and said, “Get in the car.”
An Ran got in the car with doubt. She stared at her, and asked, “Where did you get the car?” Lin Li"s father"s illness cost the Lin family almost of the their savings, how in the world could Lin Li buy such a good car.
“Just wait.” Lin Li pouted her lips, and motioned her to look behind.
“What?” An Ran turned her head in disbelief, only to see a child in the back seat of the car, staring at her with round eyes. And she recognized that child, it was the child of Zhou Han family. She looked at the child with surprise and cried out, “Xiao Bin?”
The child did not speak, looked at her for a moment, then dropped his eyes, and continued to play with the Transformers in his hand.
An Ran turned her head, looked at Lin Li, face full of doubt, really did not know what is this situation.
“Well, let"s go the restaurant first.” Lin Li said and started the car.
In the car, An Ran knew that she shouldn"t say anything bad in front of the child, but she still can"t figure out how this Lin Li and Zhou Han"s child got to know each other. She felt the situation was really too strange, eyes straightly stared at Lin Li.
Lin Li felt unsettled being stared at, could only dryly smile, “Hehe, if you look at me like that I can"t really drive.”
“Heng, didn"t you say you would never drive?” An Ran said coldly.
Only to see Lin Li"s expression turn stiff, the hands grasping the steering wheel also tightened. She just fixedly looked at the front, and did not speak.
An Ran suddenly realized, and secretly scolded herself, clearly knew that it had hurt her, but also was committed to take this opportunity, and whispered apologetically, “I"m sorry.”
Lin Li just pulled a stiff smile, and did not speak, eyes only looked at the front.
The atmosphere in the car changed strangely, An Ran did not say anything more, only turned to look out of the window.
Lin Li parked her car in front of a KFC, turned to look at him and smiled, “Xiao Bin, we"re here.”
Hearing that Zhou Jia Bin turned to look out of the window, his eyes twinkling.
Lin Li turned to look at An Ran, and said with a faint smile, “He has always wanted to eat here, today I don"t have work, he also does not have school, so I promised him that we would come here.”
An Ran nodded, turned to look at the child, the corner of her mouth had a faint smile. In fact, she and this child have quite a fate.
The three got off, An Ran brought Xiao Bin to find a seat. Today was a holiday, so there was a lot of people inside this KFC, there were also a lot of children, running noisily, laughter, it was extremely boisterous.
An Ran held onto the child"s hand to find a place where there was a window seat. An Ran directly let the waiter pack the things up, and then with Xiao Bin sat him down and so on. Xiao Bin seemed to be more interested in the children"s activity area, eyes were glued to the side.
Lin Li had been waiting in line for a while, but the rice meal that she ordered for An Ran was not ready yet, so she had to wait for a little longer.
Xiao Bin saw his beloved hamburger and French fries. His eyes lit up brightly, but still cleverly. He turned to look at Lin Li, and since Lin Li did not give him permission he did not move.
Lin Li touched his head, unwrapped the hamburger, and handed it to him, laughing and saying, “Come on, eat slowly.”
With permission, the little guy only took the hamburger and took a big bite, not afraid of it being hot, his eyebrows bent, eating happily.
An Ran looked at the child, then turned to look at Lin Li, and asked, “Say it, what"s going on?”
Lin Li turned her head, looked at An Ran, and said straightly, “I got married to Zhou Han some time ago.”
“What!” An Ran yelled out, her eyes got even wider, that expression could scare a person.
The little guy in front of them was also startled, the whole person was shaken down. He stared at An Ran, not even eating the hamburger.
“Oh, An Zi, can"t you tone down your reaction a little bit!” Lin Li did not look good, and then hurriedly turned around and patted Xiao Bin"s back, and said, “It"s nothing, keep eating Xiao Bin, drink some c.o.ke, don"t just eat hamburgers.” Sayng that, she handed him the c.o.ke.
The little guy looked at An Ran, seemed a little frightened.
An Ran also knew that she had scared him, and just smiled awkwardly, trying to make her expression not too serious. The little guy seemed to calm down a bit, grabbed the burger and continued to eat.
After the child was calmed down, An Ran started to ask, “Why did you do that!”
Lin Li turned her head, looked at her. She had a bitter smile, and just said, “Actually it"s nothing much. It hurts too much to love a person, I have all my feelings to Cheng Xiang, and I found that I can"t love anymore. I do not want to love, but I also can"t not marry. Zhou Han also needed a wife, so we made a deal, he is still my boss, I am still his employee, he pays me, I just have to do my role well. It"s just a deal, nothing more.”
“Are you crazy?” An Ran couldn"t believe her, “Marriage is not a child"s play, how can you do this! Mother Lin and Father Lin want you start a relationship again, do you want to start like this? If they found out how hurt would they be!”
“Hehe.” Lin Li smiled and shook her head, looked at her and said, “An Ran, I"m just like you aren"t I? When you married Su Yi Cheng, was it not to forget Mo Fei?”
An Ran was stumped, unable to retort. She could not deny that originally the marriage was indeed as absurd as Lin Li"s reasons, but she was more fortunate. Meeting Su Yi Cheng, although their marriage had an abnormal start but they had a normal perfect ending. But is Zhou Han the same as Su Yi Cheng? Is Lin Li like her?”
“An Ran, I don"t want to talk or explain too much about this, you will certainly understand why I did this, so I don"t need to say any words of persuasion, I understand the reasoning, I even remembered I said the same thing to you before, ha ha.” Lin Li smiled a little bitterly.
Looking at her, she shook her head helplessly, sighed, and said, “I don"t know what to say to you.” Some things can only be understood through experienced. She knows that Lin Li is doing this wrong, but she does not know what to say, she understands Lin Li"s feelings and helplessness.
Lin Li smiled, and said lightly, “Oh, it"s nothing, I wasn"t worried about you, but seeing you now, after this long, you have become a mother, and then look at Su Yi Cheng, he treats you so well ah, you can"t guarantee that I won"t meet another Su Yi Cheng, right.”
An Ran glared at her, and said, “I better hope so!”
“Don"t worry, can"t you meet me!” Lin Li said relaxed, but did not want An Ran to worry about her.
An Ran looked into her eyes and did not speak.
“I"ll go and see if your meal is ready.” Lin Li got up and went to the counter.
An Ran and the little guy sat there. Watching him eat until his mouth was full of oil, she took a side of a paper towel and handed it over to him to wipe his face, “Come, let auntie wipe your mouth.”
The little guy obediently stopped his action, and let An Ran wipe away the oil around his mouth.
After wiping his mouth, An Ran put the tissue aside, smiled and touched his head, smiled and said, “It"s done.”
Only to see the little guy staring straight out of the window, his mouth murmured, “Mommy…”
An Ran frowned in doubt, turned her head and followed his gaze, only to see the street outside the window, a stopped vehicle because of the red light, that side was looking far away, only to see Ling Ran sitting in the pa.s.senger side, and she turned around at that moment. An Ran saw that the driver on the driver"s seat was obviously Su Yi Cheng.
