Chapter 9: A Married Woman

Translator: Vicky_ Editor: Vicky_

Anran felt like she was a huge tragedy. She had made a mistake on a blind date. If anyone heard of this, they would laugh to death. She sure did well. She directly married the person!

In front of the Bureau of Affairs, Anran lowered her head and looked at the red book in her hands. After a while, she looked at Su Yicheng and said, “Let’s go in and get a divorce now.” In the past, when she watched television and read the newspaper, she had found it inconceivable and incomprehensible when she heard about flash weddings and flash divorces. However, she didn’t think that one day, she would experience the same thing. After receiving the marriage certificate, she would go in and change it again before even returning home.

Su Yicheng looked at her and asked, “Do you need to marry Mufeng?”

Anran was shocked, and she subconsciously shook her head. Why would she need to marry Mu Feng?

“Then, have you met him, or do you know him?” Su Yicheng asked again.

Anran furrowed her forehead and once again shook her head. How could she have met Mufeng? If she had met him, then she would not have thought that he was Mufeng and caused such a big joke.

“Which means that, even if it isn’t Mufeng who is having a blind date with you today, if you feel that it is suitable, you will also bring up getting married? It is not that you must marry that man named Mufeng, right?” Su Yicheng smiled and once again asked.

Anran paused and then nodded.

“Isn’t that fine, then? You went out on a blind date with me today and then felt that I was suitable. So why can’t we get married?” Su Yicheng refuted.

Anran was a little bit drawn in by his reasoning. She stared at him for a long time and then nodded. There definitely wasn’t a difference, nor a reason they could not get married.

Su Yicheng thought that her dumbfounded reaction was hilarious. He turned around and saw Secretary Zheng walk out of the car and lift his watch, indicating to him that his time was up. He looked at his watch. It really was about time. He still had a meeting to attend that evening, and therefore, he needed to return to the municipal committee. He turned around and said to Anran, “Give me your phone.”

“Oh…” Anran paused. Although she did not know what he needed her phone for, she still took it out of her bag and gave it to him.

......

Su Yicheng took it, turned it on, and quickly pressed a couple of numbers. Elegant and mellow piano music sounded from the phone in his hand. Then, he returned the phone to Anran and said, “I’ve already entered my phone number. I still have matters to attend to right now and need to return to the company. When do you get off work?”

“5:30,” Anran instinctually responded.

“Okay. I’ll go pick you up tonight. Wait for my phone call.” Su Yicheng nodded. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked toward Secretary Zheng.

Anran did not come back to her senses until the car that Su Yicheng was in was only a speck in the distance. She lowered her head and looked at the marriage certificate that she was gripping. Then, she flipped through her phone and looked at his phone number and name. Then, she finally became conscious that she was married. Unfortunately, she only knew that her husband was named Su Yicheng; she did not know his occupation or his age!

Before she was able to think too much about it, Lin Li’s life-seeking phone call came again. Anran looked at that phone that was hooting to death and took a deep breath. There was no way she could avoid it. As expected, the second she picked up the phone, Lin Li, who was on the other side of the phone, screamed in anger. “Gu Anran, you’re going to die. You not only hung up on me, but you also turned off your phone. Why didn’t you shut it off for eternity? Don’t turn it back on again now! What kind of hero are you for shutting it off for five or ten minutes?!”

“I didn’t want to be a hero…” Anran helplessly tried her best to hold the phone away from her ear. Lin Li naturally had a loud voice. Even from afar, she could still clearly hear her roar.

“Don’t even think about becoming a hero. You are fated to be a coward for the rest of your life.” Lin Li snorted. Her voice was not only loud, but her hearing was also so good that it was scary. Even though Anran spoke quietly, and at a distance from the phone, Lin Li still heard her.

Anran blushed with shame. However, because she knew that Lin Li was currently furious, she could only try her best to smile and follow along with her words. “Yes. Mhm. Yes. Whatever you say is right.”

“Huh.” Lin Li coldly snorted. However, since Anran admitted defeat, her anger obviously lessened a lot. Remembering the thing she had said before ending the call, she asked, “You just said certify… certify what? Library certificate or graduation certificate?”

Anran looked at the dazzling red marriage certificate in her hand, swallowed, and said, “Not a library certificate or a graduation certificate, Lin Li. I… I’m married. I just registered for marriage.”

Suddenly, there was no other sound on the other side of the phone. The silence made Anran’s heart tickle. She could practically see Lin Li blowing her head off.

“Gu Anran, where are you right now?!” A roar suddenly came from the phone, so loud that it almost broke Anran’s eardrum. Then, she heard Chengxiang’s voice. He seemed to be consoling Lin Li, telling her to worry about the child in her stomach. Then, the phone call ended, and she could only hear the sound of it beeping. She was not worried about Lin Li because she knows that Chengxiang would take good care of her.

Anran sighed and placed her phone in her bag. Then, she once again looked at the marriage certificate in her hand. She stared at it in a daze for a long while before placing it in her bag. When she returned to the company, it was almost three o’clock. Soon after she entered the company and sat down, the Director called her, telling her to go into his office. When she exited the Director’s office, she was carrying a heaping load of documents and resources. He said that, recently, the city plans were to construct a large, comprehensive building. This time, they were publicly accepting bids, and, of course, the company wants to get the case.

For the entire afternoon, Anran researched and looked over the buildings and design styles that the government always had. However, her heart was in chaos, and she was not able to take in the contents.

She closed her eyes and leaned back onto the leather seat, her two hands lightly massaging her temple. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. She did not open her eyes as she reached for the phone, pressed accept, and said in a somewhat exhausted tone, “Hello…”

“Are you off work?” On the other side of the phone was a foreign, yet familiar voice. Anran suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the phone–Su Yicheng. She was shocked for a while before she reacted, somewhat embarrassed, and asked in an unnatural tone, “Do you need something?”

“Come home with me tonight. I want you to meet my parents,” Su Yicheng said, on the other side of the phone.

“Oh, today’s my mom’s birthday. Our family reserved a spot to eat at a restaurant,” Anran responded. In reality, when she heard that she was going to go home with him to meet his parents, she was more or less unadjusted to her current identity. Most importantly, the change was too quick. Just this morning, she was a single, older, left-over woman. In the blink of an eye, she had already entered the ranks of married women.

“S-So it’s like that,” Su Yicheng said, dragging out the last syllable.

Anran nodded, and then she suddenly remembered that she was on the phone and quickly answered, “Yes.” Suddenly, as if having thought of something, she said, “Um… um, are you free tomorrow? I-I think that we should talk.”

“I’m going on a business trip. Let’s talk tonight. I have something to do right now, so let’s leave it at this for now. When you get off work, wait for me at the front. I’ll go pick you up.” After he finished speaking, he ended the call before Anran was able to respond.

Anran stood there, dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but skeptically think, “Pick me up? Does he know where my company is?”
