When the two returned to the restaurant Xiao Ying Tian and gang were still drinking, Huang De Xin and Xiao Ying Tian were chatting happily, no one seems to notice An Ran"s and Ye Zi Wen"s absence.
An Ran sat back in the room but the atmosphere in the room is stifling her, at last she smiles with an apology that she has to leave early. Maybe it"s because she is Su Yi Cheng"s wife, Xiao Ying Tian and Huang De Xin did not say anything more, nodded and let her be on her way.
Ye Zi Wen looks at her knowingly, then lifted a gla.s.s of wine and toasted Huang De Xin.
Saying that, he hangs up and text Ye Zi Wen"s number to Su Yi Jiao. Afterwards, Su Yi Cheng turns and enters the lift, heading for the 10th floor.
Upon entering, the whole house smells of liquor, the lights are off and the moonlight streams from outside .
"An Ran?" Su Yi Cheng lightly calls out but there was no response.
Reaching out to turn on the switch on the wall, the room lights up,"Woooo...Woooo...."can only hear a slight sound in the room, looking around, saw An Ran sprawled out on the floor, half of her lying on the low seat, one hand holding a bottle of red wine, the other a gla.s.s, her mouth was moving, and because of the lights that was switch on, her brows was frowning as if protesting.
Seeing this, Su Yi Cheng sighs and shakes his head, placed the briefcase on the side of the couch. He suddenly remembers Ye Zi Wen mentions something about her being down because of what happen to her friend, if he is right, it should be about her friend Lin Li and the adultery by her fiance.
She is too immersed in friendship and relations, so this matter has been troubling her for the past few days now. She needs to vent and it"s a good thing she is only venting by drinking at home, otherwise he is really afraid he will not be able to find her. Because they had known each other for such a short period of time, he has only been able to understand some of her daily habits, she likes to eat green leafy vegetables, fish, she craves sweets, dislikes bitterness, only drinks caramel macchiato, if tea she only takes "royal milk tea", habitually likes to place a box of biscuits and a warm gla.s.s of cuppucino by the side when she works, do not like meat, especially fatty meat but if someone specially pa.s.s it to her she will still eat it no matter how much she dislikes it, of course she will not chew it but rather swallows it.
Removing his jacket, bending over and taking away the bottle of wine and drinking gla.s.s. She actually drank a whole bottle of Lafite, did she think it was water?
Lightly patting her face,"An Ran?"
An Ran moans and frowns, the pouty lips is saying something, her face is reddish because of the wine, she looks so cute like that!
Su Yi Cheng lowers his head and kisses her forehead, then carries her up in a cradle embrace.
Suddenly being suspended in the air, An Ran feels giddy and her frowns deepens, her expression seemingly uncomfortable.
Looking at this, Su Yi Cheng whispers besides her,"An Ran, do you feel like vomiting?" then walks towards the washroom.
An Ran struggles to open her eyes amidst a dizzying fog, her stomach feels as if she has been upended, a sudden rush of warmth surge upwards and reaches her throat in an instant, instinctively she reach up and covers her mouth with her hand, the other hitting on Su Yi Cheng"s shoulder, indicating for him to let her down.
Looking at the one in his arms, he knows she"s about to throw up and hurries to the washroom.
Just as they are about to reach the washroom, there"s a sudden surge from her stomach and the whole thing just wahhhhhh! thrown out, in an instant, both of their chest area were soak and envelop with the smell of wine.
The only lucky thing is An Ran did not eat much and what was vomitted was just wine.
After throwing up, An Ran seems awaken from her drunken stupor, unable to react.
Su Yi Cheng looks down, looking at himself, then at An Ran, laughs helplessly.
An Ran Looks at him, expression sorrowful,"I,I"m so sorry, I...."
"Silly." Su Yi Cheng cradles her and places his forehead against hers."Why apologize, you did not do it intentionally, I just got back anyways and I haven"t wash up yet."
An Ran looks over at him, pouting her lips, not sure if she should cry or laugh.
Su Yi Cheng carries her into the washroom and let her sit on the covered toilet bowl then retrieve two sets of clothes from the dresser.
Squatting in front of her, he then carefully begin removing the clothes on her body.
An Ran looks at him, face suddenly reddens, not sure if it is because of the red wine or because of the sensuality of the moment. When his hand reach over to her back to unlock the clasp on her bra, she hurriedly lifts up and hugs herself, looking at him, with her breathing getting hurried, she asks him nervously,"You, aren"t you going out first?"
Su Yi Cheng looks at her laughingly, reach out pinching her nose,"You don"t feel I should wash up when I"m like this?"
Although the two are husband and wife, and even though during this period that certain someone"s needs for that particular area is not low, actually it"s quite high, but to her, looking at each other"s naked bodies is still a major step, just thinking about it makes her as red as can be.
"Then..then you wash first, I"ll be next." and starts to get up. But just as she starts to get up her legs gave way, wobbling and she fell into Su Yi Cheng"s arms.
Su Yi Cheng reach out and grab hold of her, half sighing,"An Ran, we are husband and wife, do we have to be so distant?"
Leaning in his embrace, An Ran is unable to say anything, it"s not being distant, it"s shyness, it"s embara.s.sing.
Letting her go, righting her up,"Well?"
An Ran nodded, her face reddens, speaking softly,"But, but, it just feels so weird, I"m not used to it."
Su Yi Cheng laughs, reach out and removes all his clothings. his naked self on display in front of her, An Ran looks at his face, her face seemingly redder than before, her eyes unblinking, deeply afraid to see what should not be seen.
Su Yi Cheng reach over and removes the rest of her clothings, looks at her and gives a gentle smile, slowly bends over and place a kiss on her lips, softly, his scorching yet soft lips lightly lean against hers, only leaning and did not take the next step.
Hands reaching to take her arms that has stiffen due to nervousness, he places them around his neck and his own palms rubs against her smooth silk like skin.
Sticking on her lips, he asks,"Is this better?"
An Ran remains quiet, she"s so nervous her heart is thumping so hard, she was scolding him inside, Better, how is this better? This is making me more nervous!
Without waiting for her reply, Su Yi Cheng slowly smile and just as An Ran was about to push him away, the hand that was holding her waist tightens so their bodies slap against each other, bonding them tightly together.
"Wooo..."An Ran has just made a sound when his lips takes the chance to slide into her mouth, his tongue caressing hers, giving her a heated French kiss.
Su Yi Cheng finally releases her when An Ran almost could not catch her breath, but before she is able to recover, his lips is sealed with hers again and it"s even more intense and heated than the first time. Her legs followed his towards the shower, then that warm water pour down on them from above, the water flows from their hair to their face and because they are still kissing, some water sip into their mouths but the two of them did not care about that at all.
An Ran has not idea how she manage to wash up, because by the time the real washing up started, she is already tired out and immobilised.
She woke up groggily, and when she woke up again later she was already in bed, changed, with Su Yi Cheng sitting by her side. Half cradling her in his arms, then reaching over for the sober up tea on the dressing table. Talking softly,"Come, be a good girl, drink the tea up, or you"ll have a hard time tomorrow when you wake up."
An Ran is still groggy and not awake but just hearing about the tea causes her to frown and tighten her mouth, shaking her head. She really dislikes bitterness, and will rather have a bad headache than taste the bitter tea.
Looking at such a childish side of her, Su Yi Cheng really feels like laughing yet is exasperated, but he can only use methods to coax children to coax her, places the tea by her mouth,"It"s not bitter, for real, I added sugar."
Hearing this, An Ran slightly open her eyes, looking at him, as if ascertaining if he is telling the truth. After a while, finally opens her mouth and Su Yi Cheng carefully feeds her the tea with a spoon.
Once the tea has been finish, as An Ran is seriously tired and sleepy, she turns over and falls asleep again.
Su Yi Cheng lightly laughs, reach over to removes the hair that"s covering her eyes, then covers her up with the blanket and takes the bowl out the door.
Placing the bowl in the washer, he washes some rice and turns on the cooker, setting it to porridge. Only after this does he returns to the room and gets on the bed from opposite her side, lay besides her, pa.s.s an arm around her neck, letting her sleep on his arm, the other arm wraps around her, pulling her into his embrace, helping her to adjust to a comfortable position.
An Ran stirs, mouth mumbling,"It"s not sweet."
Su Yi Cheng paused and only then realize she was referring to the sober up tea she just had and found it amusing. Softly whispering in her ears,"Silly" then fell asleep with her in his arms.
An Ran was awaken by her growling tummy, even if her eyelids are fighting to stay close but with a growling tummy she"s unable to stay sleeping.
She opens her eyes one by one, only to see an enlarge handsome face in front of her, eyes closed, sleeping peacefully as if like a child.
This is the first time since she share the same bed with him that he is still besides her when she wakes up. Normally his habit of having his morning exercise compels him to wake up at 5am, no matter how late he sleeps the previous night. And only after two hours of exercise does he returns for a wash then makes breakfast just in time for her to wake up.
So he has such long eyelashes, it"s almost like a girl"s, slightly curling upwards, looks gorgeous. She knows he has always been a gentle man, but it"s also not hard to discover that his gentle demeanor is a bit too polished and his current sleeping self seems to be without any defenses, that slightly curved lips lets him look like an sweet innocent adorable child.
Reaching out to gently stroke his eyelashes, then following the contour of his nose sliding downwards and finally reaching his lips.
Looking at his lips that cannot be considered thick, she thought of what happen last night because of this pair of lips, he had kissed her till she almost pa.s.sed out. Thinking of this, she pouted, then as if playing a prank she reach out with her middle finger, touching his lower lips lightly. Just as she was thinking to retract her finger, his mouth open and started biting lightly on her finger, even sucking half a finger into his mouth.
An Ran was shock, and only after realising his moving eyebrows knows that she was tricked!. She pouted, accusing him,"You dare to pretend to sleep!" Such a nasty and vile action!
Su Yi Cheng smile, his eyes curved with more obvious laughter,"I was already awake, I just did not open my eyes yet." Saying this, he uses his tongue to lick her finger.
An Ran immediately turns bright red, saying in a spoilt voice,"Let goo~"
Hearing this, Su Yi Cheng did let her finger go, but the next instant he got up, flip over towards her and gave her a heated and deep morning kiss.
He finally lets go of her after a while, looking at her with laughter in his eyes,"Good morning."
An Ran at this time found it a little hard to catch her breathe,"Mor.. morning"
Looking at her shy redden self she looks so adorable, and men are generally more p.r.o.ne to rush behaviour in the morning, at this point, Su Yi Cheng bend over and his hands starts to be improper again.
Seeing this, An Ran grab onto those improper hands, looking at him pleadingly,"I"m soo hungry..."
Hearing this, Su Yi Cheng who was burying his head in the nape of her neck, finally gets up, giving a peck on her lips and got out of bed,"Let"s get up, I prepared some porridge yesterday, it should be properly cooked now. You drank too much last night, so it"s better to take something light in the morning."
An Ran nodded and lightly smiled, her insides feeling warm and snuggly, all due to his considerate self and gentleness.
By the time An Ran finishes washing up and changing clothes, Su Yi Cheng has already placed the porridge on the bartop, there really isn"t anything to go with porridge in the fridge but there are some eggs in there so he prepared some scramble eggs as a side dish with the porridge.
An Ran sat on the high chair at the bartop, taking the scoop and chopsticks he brought for her, lightly saying,"Thanks."
Su Yi Cheng only smile, sitting in front of her, having the porridge as well.
"I"m sorry about last night." An Ran says apologetically.
Putting down the bowl, Su Yi Cheng looks at her seriously, remarks laughingly,"Don"t you feel saying thanks, sorry, sorry to bother you, is unnecessary between us?"
An Ran paused, then mischievously sticks her tongue out at him.
Su Yi Cheng laughs, picks a piece of egg for her and places it in her bowl, asking,"So what happen to make you drink so much last night?"
The eating motion paused, then an exhausted laugh,"Last night during dinner Cheng Xiang was also there, with that woman, afterwards we had a quarrel, you have no idea how impressive I was last night, pouring wine and slapping people and all that. Now that I think about it, I still find it incredible, later after that I told the whole truth to Lin Li."
Su Yi Cheng kept silent, only looking at her.
An Ran raise her head up, a little self deprecating,"Don"t you think I"m very silly, it"s not even my business but I"m even more agitated than the person involved."
Su Yi Cheng shakes his head,"Lin Li is very fortunate to have a friend like you."
An Ran feels her nose souring, the eyes looking at him starts to turn reddish,"I"m also very fortunate to have found a friend like her, she always thinks about me, worry about me and because of this I cannot bear to see her get hurt. Actually she is very pure and very simplistic about things, if she loves someone she will love them with all she has, but some people do not know how to treasure this. Because he knows she loves him, he wilfully squanders her feelings. Lin Li is so perfect, so kind, she does not deserve this kind of ending." Tears start flowing from her eyes again.
Su Yi Cheng came around the bar-top from the kitchen, hugging her tightly in his arms, softly caressing her back, softly saying in a soft voice,"Ok, it"s fine now, everything will be better."
A sweet chapter, I wanna say more but just... the feels... ahhh...
