Chapter 103: Rest once a week
Translator: 549690339
Seeing that he wanted to laugh but was trying his best to hold it in, an ran pouted in a fit of pique. She didn’t want it to be like this either. She had clearly followed all the steps on the recipe, but it had been like this three times! As the saying goes,’don’t do things three times’. However, this saying was obviously useless to her.
Looking at the shriveled corn and green beans in the pot, she felt like she was about to die of depression!
She pouted and tried to stand up, but she didn’t expect that because she had been squatting on the ground for too long, her feet were so numb that she couldn’t feel anything at all. So, she stood up, but the next second, her legs were so weak that she was about to sit down. Fortunately, su Yicheng, who was standing in front of her, quickly caught her and helped her to lean her center of gravity on him.
Su Yicheng looked at the person in his arms with a slightly amused expression and asked jokingly, ” “Your feet are numb?”
Anran nodded, feeling a little wronged. Her feet were so numb that she felt as if they didn’t belong to her, and she couldn’t exert any strength at all.
!!
Su Yicheng bent down and picked her up horizontally. The moment he lifted her up, Anran subconsciously wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and let out a soft cry of surprise.
Su Yicheng glanced at her with amusement, then carried her from the kitchen to the living room and sat her down on the sofa. He looked at her face, which was as black as a cat’s because of the cooking. He could not help but shake his head and laugh. He pulled the paper towel on the table and gently wiped the blackness on her face.
Anran simply felt that she wasn’t cut out for cooking at all. The steps looked simple, and she followed every single one of them, but in the end, she couldn’t do it well after three tries!
&Quot; there’s no dinner tonight. I didn’t complete my mission. &Quot; An ran looked at him apologetically. After being married for so long, it seemed that he was the one who cooked for her. It seemed that he had been the one who served her well, even for breakfast. Other than making a few noodles that she could barely swallow, she did not seem to have cooked anything for him.
In fact, she had been seriously thinking about their marriage recently. Although it was a little different at the beginning, the most important thing was the result. She wanted to live well with him and run this marriage well. In this way, he couldn’t be the only one giving and she didn’t do anything. That was why she wanted to start from the simplest. At least, she wanted to learn how to cook so that he wouldn’t have to cook for himself after a day of work.
It was just that her wish was very beautiful, but the reality seemed to be a little too cruel to her! It was clearly a very simple dish, but she couldn’t even succeed. Was she really not suitable for cooking?
Su Yicheng smiled and shook his head. He threw the napkin in his hand directly into the garbage bag, reached out to pinch her nose affectionately, and said, ” “I’ll go cook. Wait a little longer, there will be food soon.”
As he said that, he got up, took off his suit jacket, and headed to the kitchen.
Anran reached out to pull him back and looked at him fixedly. There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes. She only felt a little sour and wanted to cry.
Upon seeing this, su Yicheng was a little worried. He squatted down, reached out to touch her face, and asked, ” “What now?”
Looking at him, Anran pouted and tried hard not to cry. She mumbled, ” “Don’t you think I’m especially useless?” He couldn’t even cook a dish well. Every time, he was either forced to swallow it or to clean up the mess. In retrospect, she seemed to have really failed.
Seeing that she was throwing a tantrum, su Yicheng laughed and sat down next to her again. Then, he hugged her from behind, letting her lean into his arms, and whispered in her ear, ” “Who dares to say that my wife is useless? my wife can build a house, but can they?” From his tone, there was pride in it.
“But I can’t even cook a meal.” What was the use of building a house? she couldn’t even make dinner for her husband. Was there a more incompetent wife than her?
“There are many people who can cook, but how many can build a house?” Su Yicheng asked as he held her in his arms.
Anran almost burst out laughing. She patted his hand and turned to look at him. &Quot; that’s nonsense. How can you calculate it like that? that’s my job. &Quot;
“Of course it’s like this!” Su Yicheng said with a serious expression, ” look at your job. It’s amazing. No one else can do it. No one can replace you. &Quot;
Anran laughed at his serious expression, but when she thought about her tragic experience in the kitchen, she was a little depressed. &Quot; actually, I just want to make a good dinner for you so that when you come home late, you can have hot and fragrant food. You don’t have to cook by yourself every time, and you don’t have to waste your time. &Quot;
Before an ran could finish her sentence, her lips were blocked by someone’s. His long tongue went straight in and gave her a passionate and deep kiss.
When su Yicheng let go of her again, Anran leaned against his chest and panted heavily. Su Yicheng himself wasn’t any better, and his chest was also heaving up and down.
After a while, when Anran’s breathing calmed down a little, she heard him say softly in her ear, ” &Quot; I know that you have this thought in mind. The rest is not important. &Quot;
&Quot; but I always feel that you’re the one who’s been good to me, and you’ve been giving more. &Quot; An ran said in a low voice. This was the result she had come up with after thinking about it for several days.
Su Yicheng reached out to hold her hand, and the two of them held each other’s hands with their fingers intertwined. After a while, he said lightly, ” &Quot; Anran, let’s not care about who did more or less, or who gave more or gained less. We just need to know that we both want the best for our marriage and for our future. Why should we care about anything else? ”
&Quot; I’m sorry. &Quot; Anran wanted to say something, but su Yicheng interrupted her.
&Quot; leave a light on for me every night, so that I know there’s someone waiting for me at home. It doesn’t matter if I don’t know how to cook or who cooks. &Quot; After a pause, su Yicheng continued, ” &Quot; even without you, I still had to cook for myself. Besides, you’re my wife now, the one who’s going to spend the rest of my life with me. You’re also the sweetest responsibility I’ve ever had. I’m more than happy to cook for you. Because I’m happy to, I don’t feel tired at all. &Quot; He turned her over and looked into her eyes, asking,”Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Anran stared at the man in front of her. She didn’t know how she could be so lucky. It was clearly a mistake, a marriage that she didn’t dare to hold any hope for, but this man cherished her so much. His gentleness made her subconsciously indulge in him more and more. Fortunately, he was her husband, not a lover or anything else. He was the man who could accompany her for the rest of her life, the man she could rely on, and the Father of her future children!
She reached out and touched his face, her hand gently caressing his thick and dense eyebrows. A faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth as she nodded and said, ” “I think I understand.”
Su Yicheng also laughed, reached out, pulled her hand down, and kissed it. After a long while, he looked up at her, touched her hair, and said, ” &Quot; I’ll go cook. I’ll be done later. &Quot;
“I’ll help.” An ran volunteered. After resting, her legs were no longer numb. While helping him, she could also secretly learn a few moves.
Seeing the eagerness on her little face, su Yicheng smiled faintly, reached out to hold her hand, and led her directly to the kitchen.
Some people said that men were always charming when they were serious. Anran didn’t think so before, but today, it seemed to be true. Because su Yicheng’s serious look when cooking was really charming, he took the ingredients and quickly finished them with a few cuts on the chopping board. Then, he put it into the pot, stir-fried it, and added the ingredients. Everything was done skillfully without a trace of error, as if he had practiced it all accurately since he woke up. An ran was dumbfounded.
After covering the pot, su Yicheng turned his head and saw a certain someone staring at him in a daze. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he walked toward her. He touched her face with his hand and forced her slightly opened mouth to close again, then said in a soft, pampering voice, ” “Silly girl.”
Only then did Anran snap back to her senses. She looked at him and mumbled, ” did you learn all these cooking skills for Ling LAN? ”
Su Yicheng was stunned, and the smile on his face widened. Instead of answering her, he asked, ” are you jealous? ”
Anran froze for a moment, then shook her head. She looked at him and said, ” &Quot; I didn’t. Speaking of which, I even took advantage of her. If it weren’t for her, your cooking wouldn’t be so good. &Quot;
Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows. No matter how he heard it, he felt that it was strange. However, he was in a good mood. With a smile, he went up and hugged her. After hugging her for a while, he said,”I’ll only do it for you in the future, okay?”
An ran smiled faintly, and her heart felt sweet because of his words.
It was the weekend tomorrow, and Anran was almost done with her work today. After dinner, su Yicheng went into the study, while she sat in the living room and watched TV, feeling a little bored.
In fact, she didn’t specify what she wanted to watch. She was usually busy with work, so it had been several years since she had really calmed down and watched TV.
When su Yicheng came out of the study again, he saw Anran half-lying on the sofa with the remote control in her hand. She had already fallen asleep.
He laughed and took the remote control from her hand and placed it on the coffee table. When he picked her up by the waist, Anran, who was in his arms, slowly opened her eyes. In a daze, she recognized that it was him in front of her, and she asked in a daze, ” “You’re done with your work?”
Su Yicheng lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, then nodded and said, ” “If you’re tired, then sleep. I’ll carry you to the bed.”
Anran slowly closed her eyes in peace, but before su Yicheng could return to the master bedroom from the living room, she suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him.
Su Yicheng looked at her in confusion and asked, ” “What’s wrong?”
&Quot; I haven’t taken a shower yet, ” Anran said, a little distressed. She was so sleepy, but to her dismay, she realized that she had not taken a bath at night!
Su Yicheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Sometimes, he even wondered if she was really 28 or 29 years old. But sometimes, her behavior was just like that of a young child. She was so cute that he found it interesting.
He put her on the bed, took out her pajamas from the closet, and handed them to her. Looking at her drowsy appearance, he raised his eyebrows and said with a little evil intention, ” “Why don’t we shower together? I’ll help you.”
Hearing this, Anran was stunned for a moment. Then, as if she understood what he meant, her face suddenly turned red. She quickly took the pajamas from his hands, cursed in a low voice, ” pervert, ” and ran directly into the bathroom.
Outside the door, su Yicheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
When Anran came out of the bathroom after washing up, she saw that su Yicheng seemed to have also changed in the guest room’s bathroom. At the moment, he was lying on the bed in his pajamas and reading a book.
It was really strange. She had been so sleepy just now, but now she didn’t feel sleepy at all. She lifted the quilt from the other side of the bed and saw su Yicheng looking at her with a faint smile and spreading his hands toward her. “Come here.”
Anran chuckled, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She shifted her butt toward him and habitually half-leaned into his arms to find a comfortable seat.
The two of them didn’t seem to be sleepy yet. Su Yicheng held Anran in one arm and read a book on Social Affairs seriously in the other. Anran, who was in her arms, was no longer sleepy and was now seriously reading a magazine on architecture with her big eyes wide open.
Time passed by quietly between them. Su Yicheng looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and realized that it was really getting late. He put the book in his hand back on the bedside table on his side, looked at an ran in his arms, and said, ” &Quot; Anran, it’s late. Rest. &Quot;
Only then did an ran notice that it was really quite late. Although she was still sleepy at the moment, she understood that he had to go to the countryside with some city leaders tomorrow on the weekend. She nodded and put the architectural magazine back on the bedside table. She reached out to turn off the table lamp on the bedside table and moved her body to let herself slide down. Her head happened to rest on his strong arms. She adjusted her position and closed her eyes.
In the dark, an ran didn’t feel sleepy even with her eyes closed. She turned around and suddenly heard his low voice.
&Quot; an ran … &Quot; his voice was a little low, and it had a unique charm in the dark night.
“Yes.” An ran responded faintly, then held her breath and waited for him to continue.
For a long time, su Yicheng didn’t say anything, as if what she had just heard was just an illusion.
Anran didn’t want to think about it anymore. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a hand suddenly appeared on her waist. It gently caressed her delicate skin and then circled around her lower abdomen. Anran’s body instinctively trembled, and all her sleepiness disappeared. With one hand, he tightly grabbed the hand that was burning his body.
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything, but his big hands were still running around her body. Anran felt like she was about to break down, but her body slowly reacted. She grabbed his hand again and said in a cold and hard tone, ” Su Yicheng, what are you trying to do now? ” In fact, there was no need to ask. Su Yicheng’s intentions were obvious, but Special Assistant su seemed to have forgotten that he had already signed the so-called ‘husband and wife agreement’ with someone!
Su Yicheng remained unmoved, and the hand on her lower abdomen slowly moved down. It was obvious that they were preparing to attack a certain place.
An ran grabbed his hand tightly. She would not let him continue to do evil things to her. He gritted his teeth and said, ” Su Yicheng, what are you doing? ”
Upon hearing this, su Yicheng immediately turned over and pressed her under him. In the dark, his dark eyes stared at her intently, and the light from outside the window faintly shone on her face. It was faint, but it had a hazy beauty to it.
Anran was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She reached out to push him away, but he grabbed her hand and held it against the window.
Anran stared at him in a daze, and her heart was beating very fast. She naturally had a premonition of what was going to happen next, but when she looked at him, she still asked a little fearfully, ” you, what do you want to do? ”
With a charming smile on his lips, su Yicheng lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. His lips pressed against hers, and he gently bit her as he said, ” “Fulfill the husband and wife agreement!”
“Nonsense!” An ran reproached, ” we already did it yesterday! &Quot; Her agreement clearly stated that they would do it once a week, and they had already done it according to the agreement yesterday. How could he still say that he was fulfilling the husband and wife agreement now?
Su Yicheng smiled devilishly, nodded, and said, ” “We did do it yesterday, but you didn’t seem to see the contents of our agreement.”
“Content? Isn’t it once a week?” She had printed it back then, so she didn’t need to look at it to know what the agreement was about. Did she need him to remind her?
Su Yicheng shook his head, leaned over, and gently whispered in her ear, ” “Not once a week, but once a week off!” His voice was soft and gentle, and it tickled an ran’s ears. As if on purpose, his lips brushed past her earbones to make her tremble again.
Anran wanted to push him away from her weakly, but she didn’t have much strength. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, her mouth had been blocked by someone, and she couldn’t say a word.
The sun outside was very bright, and the sunlight shone through the beige curtains and illuminated the entire room. Anran was a little dazzled by the light and slowly woke up from her sleep. It was really eye-opening, and even though the curtains were tightly drawn, the whole room was already brightly lit.
The person beside her was long gone. The coldness on the bed reminded her that he had left a long time ago. She turned to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was indeed getting late. It was 10:45, close to noon.
She lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed, but the soreness in her body made her curse su Yicheng several times in her heart. This man was simply too hateful! Didn’t he know that overindulgence was very harmful to the body?
Her legs were still shaking badly, and she felt so weak that she would fall if she was careless. She supported herself against the wall as she walked into the bathroom. Fortunately, there was an extra large bathtub here compared to the previous apartment. After filling the bathtub with water, she let herself lie in it and immersed her entire body in the hot water. The discomfort between her legs was soothed. However, when she looked at the hickeys all over her body and recalled the passionate love they had last night, an ran felt a little embarrassed.
After taking a bath, the discomfort in her body could indeed be relieved. When she came out of the bathroom and went to the living room, it was almost 11:30. Fortunately, it was the weekend. Otherwise, not only would she be late today, but she would probably have to go to work with her neck wrapped.
&Quot; Gululu … &Quot; her stomach growled without any regard for her image. From last night until now, and after such an intense exercise last night, she should be hungry.
She walked towards the kitchen and was about to open the refrigerator to see if there was anything to fill her stomach when she saw a light yellow post-it note on the refrigerator. It said, ” I made a sandwich this morning. It’s in the refrigerator. Remember to heat it before eating it. &Quot; At the end, there was a simple smiley face, which was a little cute.
He reached out and tore off the post-it note on the refrigerator. His hand gently touched the words on the post-it note, and after a long while, he put it directly into his pocket. Don’t be so careful not to break it.
As she took out the sandwiches su Yicheng had made before going to work from the refrigerator and heated them in the microwave, she muttered in a low voice, ” you look like a proper person in the day, but why do you turn into a Wolf at night? and a hungry wolf at that! &Quot;
As he said that, he rubbed his sore waist. She suddenly remembered what su Yicheng had said in bed last night. What did he mean by taking a break once a week? she clearly said that she would take a break once a week.
With that thought in mind, an ran endured the soreness in her waist and headed straight for the study.
He wanted to find the ‘husband and wife agreement’ that he had put in his desk drawer that day. She opened it and looked at it seriously. Then, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. She stared at the agreement in her hands with disbelief. How could this be? how could this be? He didn’t even care!
She read it word by word and confirmed that the contents of the agreement were exactly what she was reading at the moment. Then, she felt as if she had been deceived and growled angrily, ” su Yicheng, you treacherous official! &Quot;
The marriage agreement in his hand said: Married life, once a week off!
She had not noticed that there was an additional word in the agreement!
Now that she thought about it carefully, he was just like what others said, Black-bellied and hiding daggers in his smile, while she was too silly and too naive. She should have known that a man like him, who had such a lustful desire every night, would not sign the agreement so readily. It turned out that he had tampered with the agreement long ago. He was simply too hateful!
