077. Couple making a mealrecognised the person chasing after her mother, it was Tong Wen Hai.
Watching the two people quarreling in front of her, she does not understand the content of their quarrel but she can see that their emotions are a little agitated.
"Mom." She interrupted, heading towards them.
An Ran nodded, took out her mobile to the balcony and called Su Yi Cheng, the call was answered on the third ring. An Ran inform that she is at the Gu"s and ask him over for a meal together. Su Yi Cheng seemingly is already on the way, after hearing her, immediately agrees and says will arrive within 10 minutes.
After the call Lin Xiao Fen is already not in the living room. Puting down her mobile, An Ran enters the kitchen, only to see Lin Xiao Fen washing the vegetables as if in a daze, her attention faraway, not even realising the water in the washing bowl has almost overflowed with water. An Ran hurriedly goes up to turn off the tap, drains off some of the water so it does not seem to be so full.
Taking over the vegetables in her hands, she says,"Mom, let me do it."
Only now does Lin Xiao Fen comes back to her senses, reply unnaturally,"You, you better go out, the kitchen is too smoky and oily, I"m fine, just a moment more."
"It"s ok mom, I can help, in addition, I have to learn how to cook from you, otherwise Su Yi Cheng will dislike that I only knows how to cook noodles." An Ran laughing reply.
Lin Xiao Fen relented," Did you call Ah Cheng yet, what time does his work end, do we have to wait for him?"
An Ran did not especially tells them about Su Yi Cheng"s occupation, so her parents and even Lin Li still thinks Su Yi Chengis an employee of some multi-national corporation and not as the special a.s.sistant of the mayor, the youngest n.o.bility of Jiang City.
An Ran nodded," En**, already told him, he"s already on his way and will be here in a while."
"If it"s like this, then I better be faster." Lin Xiao Fen hurriedly takes the ingredient from the fridge. They are what she bought this morning. It was several days worth of food, it was planned that way so that she does not have to shopped everyday, seeing as how she and Gu Heng Wen are both working and shopping everyday would have been quite troublesome. But good thing that there are extra food in the house or there would have been not enough food to eat when An Ran and Su Yi Cheng joins for dinner.
Preparing the fish, she ask," Is Ah Cheng"s gastric better, did you limit his drinking, that illness requires long term care otherwise it could turn out to be troublesome."
"En, he"s better these days, we have also been eating more plainly, he does not have to do much entertaining these few days so he hasn"t been drinking." An Ran answered as she continues washing, removing the yellowed leafs from the vegetables and washing them thoroughly. "What time will father be home, does he have night cla.s.ses tonight?"
"No, I took a look at his schedule, there"s no night revision tonight, so he should be home soon, just in
brushes past her earlobes and tickles her ears, making her want to scratch the itch instinctively.
Only now does An Ran realises that she was trick, scolding him besides his ears in a whisper,"You corrupt officer, you are too devious!"
Su Yi Cheng laughs, feeling so good and whispers back into her ears,"Thanks for the compliments madam." and blows another puff of air into her ear.
An Ran at this time is both angry yet laughing, her hands are behind him still searching and tying the knot, says without a hint of laughter,"Special a.s.sistant Su, are you sure I was praising you just now?"
"Even if it"s a scolding it"s fine, I"ll just take it as a compliment." Su Yi Cheng replies.
An Ran feels a bit defeated,"Mr Su, your pride is ever so strong!"
Su Yi Cheng smiles in glee,"Thanks Mrs Su for the praise."
An Ran looks at him in the eye laughingly, the knot on his back is finally done, she lets go,"There, it"s done."
Su Yi Cheng nodded, looks at her and says in a seriously tone," As a reward, I"ll give you a kiss."
"Bwaha-" An Ran suddenly laughs out loud, tilts her head looking at him, say," Special a.s.sistant Su, then can I refuse this reward? Just take it as the good deed for the day, to serve the people."
Su Yi Cheng stops and was seeming in serious deep thought for a moment, looks at her and shakes his head apologetically," The organisation says, only with reward comes with greater motivation, so there can be no rejection, only acceptance."
An Ran was still trying to rebuke and had just open her mouth when his handsome face move in and a hot kiss follows, hurried but still gentle.
"Kaaaa~" The sound of the kitchen door open as someone enter.
Lin Xiao Fen pushed open the door to enter,"Ah Cheng in the fridge there is_" She just want to tell him there"s beancurd in the fridge to make soup but it seems she came at the inopportune time!
An Ran immediately pushes Su Yi Cheng away, lowers her head to look at the stove, her face redder than the tomato on the table. She really feels like crying in shame, first in the courtyard, now at home
*nose slightly souring - This is referring to the feeling the nose has prior to crying; she"s touched
** En (嗯) - it"s a nonverbal grunt, best I can place in context, to indicate agreement; try making the en sound without opening your mouth..
***Oo (哦)- not quite Oh so I put in the sound of the word. Depending on the tailend of the sound it can have different meaning. A monotone Oo can mean agreement or disinterest depending on the tone use. An Oo ending with a higher tailend sound can mean a questioning reaction.
