Translator: 549690339

Even though she was a hundred, a thousand times unwilling, in the end, an ran still put on a scarf and went to work. She could even sense that the moment she walked into the company, the girl at the front desk had been following her with a strange look. She blushed and entered the office without looking at anyone.

&Quot; phew ... &Quot; after letting out a long sigh, Anran sat down, turned on the computer, put her briefcase on the table, and took out the documents she had brought back yesterday.

Before he could even catch his breath, someone knocked on the office door. It was Chen Cheng.

&Quot; come in! &Quot; an ran shouted at the door. &Quot; come in! &Quot;

Chen Cheng pushed the door open and came in. She handed the documents in her hand to her and said, ” &Quot; this is the progress report from the construction site we went to yesterday. &Quot;

Anran took it and flipped through it. She nodded and said, ” “Alright, I understand. Come with me to find engineer Chen in the afternoon. You can take a look at the manor project with me, and we can discuss any opinions and suggestions together.”

“You’re going to let me participate in your project now?” Chen Cheng was a little surprised. After all, she had just arrived. She had even planned to bring her tea, water, and documents during the first month.

Anran raised her head, looked at her, and asked lightly, ” you’re not confident? ” There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Of course I do.” Chen Cheng said with certainty. She had always been confident in her profession.

Anran nodded and took out a copy of the design from the drawer and handed it to her. &Quot; this is the design. Take it back and have a look. We’ll go to the sample room together in the afternoon. &Quot;

Chen Cheng reached out to take it, and only then did she notice the scarf around her neck. In this kind of weather, her dress seemed out of place and awkward. She couldn’t help but ask,”Sister Gu, the weather forecast today said that the temperature outside will be 28 degrees.”

What he meant was, don’t you feel hot with the scarf around your neck?

Anran froze, and her face immediately turned red. She felt a little uncomfortable, and after a while, she coughed awkwardly and said, ” &Quot; ahem, um, um, I forgot to close the window last night. When I woke up today, I felt a little cold. I also feel, I’m still cold. &Quot; As he spoke, he was afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, so he deliberately coughed a few more times and rubbed his arms with his other hand.

......

Anyone could tell that such a shoddy excuse was made up. Chen Cheng tried her best not to laugh out loud, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve up into a beautiful arc. She hugged the design in front of her chest, nodded, and said,”Then I’ll go out first.”

Anran quickly nodded. &Quot; yes, yes. Go out. &Quot; Her face was burning up. She didn’t need to look in the mirror to know that her face must be as red as tomato sauce.

After Chen Cheng left, Anran quickly grabbed the scarf around her neck and used her hands to cool herself down. She had also seen the weather forecast last night. Today’s temperature was indeed above 28 degrees!

His entire body was burning up, and the little bit of wind on his hand could not alleviate the heat on his face at all. He grabbed the remote control for the air conditioner from the drawer and turned it to the lowest temperature.

Anran finally managed to calm herself down and sat at her desk. She couldn’t focus on the documents and information in her hands at all.

She felt that she should carefully consider the problem between her and su Yicheng. He was indeed good. Not only did he know how to cook, but he was also very easy-going with her. It was undeniable that he was a rare good man, and she really felt that she was lucky to be able to marry him. However, other than one thing, he was too demanding in that aspect of a married couple’s life. No, it should be said that he had no limits! He was someone who worked every day, and the pressure at work was several times or even dozens of times greater than ordinary people, but why was he so energetic every day? She didn’t understand, she really didn’t understand!

Perhaps, she really had to think of a way to control this. Otherwise, she felt that she would be tortured to death sooner or later. Moreover, things like today would definitely not happen only once!

Just as Anran was thinking hard about how she could control su Yicheng’s requirements in this aspect, she caught a glimpse of the rules and regulations on the table, and a thought flashed through her mind. Perhaps she could also learn how to manage a company through such a systematic management system.

When the A4 paper printed her ” three rules ” on the printer, Anran’s eyes curved in satisfaction. She was going to take this ” three rules ” to su Yicheng to sign and directly do it tonight.

Anran didn’t go to lunch at noon, mainly because she felt too embarrassed. In the end, she made an internal call to the office girl at the front desk and asked her to order a lunch box for herself.

Recently, she had gotten used to su Yicheng’s cooking every night, and when she ate this box of rice again, it really didn’t taste good. The vegetables were stuffed until they were like daylilies, the beef was too old to bite off, and the seaweed egg soup was as light as plain water, without any taste at all.

An ran didn’t think she was a person who would waste food, but this meal was really unpalatable. In the end, Anran decided not to force herself. She closed the lunchbox, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a big sip.

Just then, there was a sudden argument outside the office.

In the large office hall, everyone else had gone out to eat. In a corner, Ling Lin and Chen Cheng stood next to the model of the manor project Anran had worked on this time, arguing with each other until their faces were red.

“It’s you again, Chen Cheng. Why are you always around?” One of her hands was being held tightly by Chen Cheng as Ling Lin said hatefully.

Chen Cheng looked at her and asked in a daze, &Quot; if you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it. What do you want to do? destroy the model? ” Back then, she was in the same school as Ling Lin. When she graduated, she had secretly destroyed her model and stolen her design.

&Quot; it’s none of your business what I do. You’d better get out of my way. Otherwise, I’ll have Huang Dexing fire you later! &Quot; Ling Lin said arrogantly, her tone full of threat.

“What? you want to use your power to bring up your Mayor father again? you made it so that I couldn’t go to Shenzhen in the end, and now you want to drive me out of sincerity. Ling Lin, what do you have other than a powerful father?” Chen Cheng said as she looked at her. She was a little agitated, and her hand that was holding onto her couldn’t help but tighten.

” Si si si! ” Ling Lin couldn’t help but cry out in pain. She swung her hand with all her might and shouted, ” you Shrew, let go of me. ”

Chen Cheng didn’t let go of her hand and said, “I’m not letting go. I’d like to see what else you can say when everyone comes back later.”

“So what if they know I want to destroy the model? do you think Huang Dexing will fire me? Don’t be so naive and ridiculous, I’m the daughter of the mayor of Jiang city. Huang Dexing is trying to curry favor with me, why would he fire me? That would be a joke.” Ling Lin said proudly. When she first wanted to intern in the company, she had wanted to enter Xudong construction, but Xudong was too strict. She didn’t pass the first round of exams, and in the end, she came to ‘sincerity.’ She knew that she wasn’t cut out for construction at all, and didn’t even know the most basic drawing proportions. But as long as she was Ling Chuanjiang’s daughter, Huang Dexing would have to give her father face and couldn’t fire her.

“Ha, you’re really shameless. Don’t you have any sense of shame at all? you’re using your father’s power to your advantage, but you don’t know anything about design. You plagiarized my design in school!” Chen Cheng was a little angry, but she couldn’t do anything about it. This was how society was. Ling Lin was the second generation of a government official, the first daughter of Jiang city. Even if they knew that her work was plagiarized, the school wouldn’t say anything. Yet, she could only watch as her work was plagiarized and replaced by someone else’s name. There was nothing she could do.

&Quot; so what if you did? so what if you went to report it to the hospital? in the end, everyone is still on my side. It’s the same this time. Even if you tell Huang Dexing and everyone, so what? you’ve clearly experienced it and clearly know the result, but you still want to try again. Do you believe that I can make Huang Dexing fire you directly this time? ” With a sinister face, Ling Lin looked at her and threatened. Then, he swung his arm with all his might and flung her hand far away.

Chen Cheng couldn’t stand still. She took a few steps back before she steadied herself. Her hands that were hanging by her sides couldn’t help but clench into fists. She glared at Ling Lin.

Ling Lin pinched her reddened hand and sneered, ” do you believe that I can make you unable to survive in Jiang city? ”

“Do you think you can hide the truth from us?” Chen Cheng said in a stiff tone. She knew that she could do it. With her title as the mayor’s daughter, she knew that she could do it.

“Hmph,” he snorted. &Quot; Hmph! &Quot; Ling Lin snorted coldly. &Quot; then I’ll have Huang Dexing fire you later. Let’s see if I can hide the truth from the public! &Quot;

“You can’t fire her.” An ran said indifferently and walked toward them.

Hearing this, Ling Lin and Chen Cheng were both stunned. They both thought that they were the only two people in the entire office at the moment. They didn’t expect Anran to be there as well!

He stood in front of them, turned to look at Chen Cheng, and then looked back at Ling Lin. He said indifferently, ” “I won’t let you fire her.” He looked at the sample model and continued, ” &Quot; also, I’ll tell Huang Dexing about you trying to smash the model, and I’ll ask the company to hold you accountable. &Quot;

“Don’t you dare!” Ling Lin roared. The eyes that were staring at her were as big as copper bells. They looked a little frightening and a little shocking.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” An ran looked at her expressionlessly.

“You think you’re so great just because you married brother Yicheng? Don’t forget, brother Yicheng is only the mayor’s Special Assistant and my father’s subordinate. Do you think Huang Dexing is more concerned about brother Yicheng or my father?” Ling Lin laughed coldly, very pleased with herself.

“Then I’ll wait and see if you can touch Chen Cheng.” An ran said with a faint smile. Her tone was calm and unhurried.

&Quot; Gu Anran, do you think I don’t dare to? ” Ling Lin’s chest heaved up and down violently. She was clearly quite angry.

An ran looked at her coldly and stopped talking to her. He stepped forward and looked at the model in the glass tank. Fortunately, it had not been destroyed.

Then, he turned around and looked at Ling Lin. He only said indifferently, ” &Quot; in the future, if there is any damage to the model, whether you did it or not, I will put the blame on you. Maybe I, director Huang, will give Mayor Ling face, but I won’t. &Quot; Then, he ignored her and turned to look at Chen Cheng.”Come in with me.” Then, he walked straight to his office, completely ignoring Ling Lin’s strange yells and howls behind him.

Chen Cheng followed her into the office. What surprised her was Anran’s identity. She didn’t expect her to also be the official’s wife. However, she was a little different from what she had imagined. She didn’t seem to have the arrogance of other official’s wives.

“You said that your original design was plagiarized by Ling Lin?” An ran asked indifferently.

Chen Cheng nodded, ” yeah. &Quot;

“No wonder.” No wonder she felt that the information on Ling Lin’s file was completely different from the designs she usually drew. It turned out that she had just plagiarized someone else’s design, and it wasn’t her own at all. “No wonder there’s such a huge difference.”

“Yes, what did you say?” Chen Cheng didn’t hear her clearly.

Anran shook her head and only said, ” nothing. &Quot; Then, he packed up his things from his desk, took his briefcase, and said to her, ” &Quot; can we go now? let’s go to the sample room to see the progress. &Quot;

Chen Cheng quickly nodded and went back to her desk to pack her things before leaving with Anran.

Since they went to the sample room to check on the progress, the time passed quickly. When they returned home, it was already dark. Chen Cheng was indeed talented in design. She was able to point out the small problems in the template as soon as he brought her there.

When she opened the door and entered, the light at the entrance lit up when she heard her footsteps. The light in the living room was also on, so su Yicheng had obviously returned. On the kitchen counter, freshly-cooked and still-steaming dishes had been laid out, and they looked particularly appetizing. As she looked at them, she suddenly remembered the inedible food from that afternoon, and Anran suddenly felt very hungry. She didn’t wash her hands, and she didn’t even use chopsticks. She reached directly for the dishes with her hands, took the sweet and sour ribs, and put them into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste was comparable to that of the hotel’s chef. It was absolutely delicious.

Behind her, su Yicheng had rushed out of the study and hugged her from behind. He rested his chin on her shoulder and said, ” “Why are you so late?”

Anran took another piece and put it in her mouth. &Quot; I went to the construction site today, so, so I came back late, ” she said, a little unclear. Ah, compared to the lunchbox she had for lunch, Anran simply felt that su Yicheng’s cooking skills should only be available in heaven. It was really too delicious! As she thought about it, she reached out again.

Su Yicheng nodded and let go of her. Just as she was about to reach out again, he reached out and gently patted her little hand. He chuckled and said, ” “Wash your hands first. Why do you look like a Hungry Ghost?” He didn’t wash his hands and didn’t use chopsticks to hold the food with his hands. It really looked like he hadn’t eaten for days.

An ran stuck out her tongue playfully and said, ” &Quot; I ordered a lunchbox takeout for lunch, but it was too bad. I almost didn’t eat a single bite. It was really bad. &Quot;

Su Yicheng pinched her nose affectionately and said, ” “Wash your hands first. We’ll have dinner immediately after that.”

“Alright,” he said. Anran nodded heavily, walked around the bar counter, and went straight into the kitchen. She turned on the tap water to wash her hands, then turned around and sat in front of the bar. By the time she did, su Yicheng had already placed the food on the bar counter. Anran reached out to take the chopsticks he handed over and smiled at him sweetly. &Quot; thank you! &Quot;

After the two had dinner, an ran asked her to wash the dishes. Su Yicheng didn’t refuse. He did have work to do tonight, so he turned around and went straight into the study, trying to finish his work for the day as soon as possible.

Anran tidied up the kitchen and went straight back to her bedroom with her briefcase. Because she had stayed in the sample room until night, she didn’t bring any work back today. She massaged her sore neck, took a change of pajamas from the closet, and went into the bathroom. The bathroom here was three times the size of the other apartment. It had a shower room and an extra large bathtub. Her whole body ached as if it had fallen apart. Tonight, an ran decided to run a tub of water and let herself take a good bath.

She took off her clothes and lay down in the big bathtub. The soreness all over her body seemed to have been soothed. She closed her eyes and lay down, enjoying the peace and comfort of this moment. In fact, she had always wanted to take a good bath like this, but the bathroom over there was too small and couldn’t fit a bathtub at all. But now, the bathtub was big enough, and it was an enjoyment to lie down and take a bath.

She didn’t know how long she had been soaking in the water, but just as she was about to fall asleep, the cold water made her shiver. She quickly got out of the bathtub, grabbed the bath towel hanging on the shelf, and wiped her body. Then, she took out the underwear and pajamas she had brought in earlier and put them on.

She half-dried her hair and did some basic skincare. She was ready to sleep early tonight. Just as she was about to lift her blanket and go to bed, she suddenly remembered the ‘three rules’ she had set for su Yicheng in the office this morning.

This time, the sleepiness was gone. He quickly took out the ‘husband and wife agreement: three clauses of the covenant’ from his briefcase. Looking at the contents of the agreement, the corners of his mouth curled up. He flicked the A4 paper in his hand and went straight to the study.

Knock, knock, knock ... He knocked on the door politely and pushed it open before entering.

She saw su Yicheng seriously looking at the document in his hand, and from time to time, he would reach out and draw something on it. When he saw her picking it up, he would look up and smile at her gently.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yicheng asked her with a faint smile.

She stood in front of him and said with certainty, ” “I have something to tell you. Can I have a few minutes of your time?”

Su Yicheng nodded his head and said, ” “Of course, no problem.” He put down the document in his hand and looked up at her with a serious expression, waiting for her to continue.

Anran’s lips curled up in satisfaction, and then she directly handed him the ‘husband and wife agreement: three rules and regulations’ in her hand and said, ” “I think it’s better for us to come up with some kind of agreement.”

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said playfully, ” “Three rules?” What was that thing?

Anran handed him the A4 paper in her hand and explained, ” &Quot; you can also call it a marriage agreement. I think we should seriously make an agreement about our married life. &Quot;

Su Yicheng took the so-called ‘husband and wife agreement’ and looked down at it seriously. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve into a beautiful arc. After a while, he looked up and asked her, ” “Didn’t we agree on three conditions? Why is there only one message?”

The so-called three rules she mentioned were just three times emphasized.

Married life, once a week!

Married life, once a week!

Married life, once a week!

She had already signed her name on the lower right corner, while the lower left corner on the other side was empty for him to sign.

“I think this one is more important.” Anran said with a serious look on her face. In fact, he was really good at everything. There was nothing else that she could say about him, except for the couple’s life. He was too demanding, so for the sake of her future, she felt that it was necessary to control the number of times she did this.

Su Yicheng chuckled, looked at her, and asked bluntly, ” “Don’t you think you’re being too cruel to me?”

“Ahem.” Anran coughed unnaturally and said, ” I’ve checked the information, and the information shows that once a week is the best time to do it. It’s not too dense, but it can better maintain the relationship between husband and wife. If it’s too frequent, it’s easier for people to get sick of it. There’s no sense of ty, and it will directly affect the relationship between husband and wife. &Quot;

Su Yicheng chuckled. It was really hard for her to find such an excuse. If he didn’t agree to sign the papers, it would be too unreasonable. He nodded and said, ” “Hmm, that makes sense.”

An ran was so happy that her eyes and brows were smiling.”You also think that it makes sense, right?”

“Yes.” Su Yicheng nodded, then picked up a pen and read it word by word. Then, he raised his hand and signed his name on the lower right corner. Then, he passed the agreement to her and asked, ” “It’s like this.”

Anran nodded in a hurry, her eyes staring straight at the three words ” su Yicheng ” that she had signed on the paper. There was no need to mention how happy she was with the smile on her face. After looking at it for a while, Anran carefully folded the ‘husband and wife agreement’ and put it directly on her desk. She turned around and asked su Yicheng, ” “Are you still not done? do you want me to pour you a cup of coffee?”

Su Yicheng shook his head and refused, but judging from the expression on his face at the moment, he was in a good mood.

“Then I won’t disturb you from your work.” Anran nodded with a smile, then turned around and left the study.

Su Yicheng stared at the drawer of her desk with a funny look on his face for a long time before he retracted his gaze with a faint smile. There was a sly look in his eyes, as if his scheme had succeeded.
