She didn't know if Su Yicheng knew where to pick her up. However, when Anran got off work, she still ran to the front of the company to look. Of course, she did not see a foreign car and did not see him. She turned around and was prepared to go to the company's parking lot to get her car and leave, however, after two steps, she sighed, took out her phone, and called him.

The phone call was quickly connected. Before Anran said anything, his voice already drifted through the phone, saying, “Stand in front of the door. I'm almost there.”

“Do you know where I work?” Anran couldn't help but doubtfully ask.

On the other side of the phone, Su Yicheng did not speak. He only laughed, and then, after 10 seconds of silence, said, “I'm here. Anran, did you come out? I don't see you.”

“Oh.” Anran was shocked, and then she ran to the front door of the company. She saw him walking out of the car, holding his phone and smiling at her.

Anran ended the call and then walked over to him, distracted. After staring at him for a long time, she asked, “How do you know where I work?”

Su Yicheng smiled, reached out to brush away the hair on her forehead, and said, “You're my wife. Of course I know where you work.”

“But I didn't tell you!” That was the most important thing. She didn't say anything. She hadn't even told him what industry she worked in. How exactly did he find out?

“I have my own ways.” Su Yicheng faintly smiled. In reality, in his position, it was not difficult for him to investigate a person. He told Secretary Zheng her name and told him to get her data and file from the city's human resources department. Therefore, it wasn't difficult for him to find out where she worked.

Su Yicheng reached out and took her bag and said to Anran, “Let's go. Where did you make the reservation for tonight? I'll go over there directly and look at the dishes.”

His movements were very natural, and his tone was proper. Anran was not able to respond quickly. After being shocked for a while, she reacted and quickly took her bag back from him,her face slightly flushed red, and said, “Oh, u-um, I-I have a car.”

Su Yicheng took in her shyness and unease. The smile on his face became even stronger, and he said, “It's fine. You don't work tomorrow, or Saturday. If you have things to do, you can drive my car, and then I can send you to work on Monday.”

“Oh…” Anran was shocked by his words and unable to react. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, Monday. Does he mean that they will have to live together every day from now on? Wouldn't it be too quick? She had not yet gone to find him to discuss how they will be living in the future. After all, their marriage was rather unique. “Um, I-I think that we should talk first.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yicheng smiled, looked at her, and asked, “Talk about what?”

“Talk about how we are going to get along in the future,” Anran said.

Su Yicheng smiled, looked at his watch, and asked, “Where do you have a reservation tonight, and at what time?”

“‘Youran Cuisine'. 6:30. Why?” Anran subconsciously said.

Su Yicheng pointed to his watch and said, “It is currently 5:45. It is about a twenty-minute drive to get from here to Youran Cuisine. Also, it is currently rush hour, so I cannot promise that we won't get stuck in traffic. Therefore, do you think that we have the time to be discussing how we are going to be getting along?”

“Oh…” Anran was shocked. She looked at her watch. As he said, she definitely did not have much time. Just as she lifted her head, wanting to ask him when he had time for them to properly sit down and talk over things, he opened the door and looked at her, smiling. “Get in the car.”

His smile was so amiable that it was confusing. It made people very comfortable as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.

When he saw that she was still not moving, Su Yicheng slightly furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What is it?”

“You are also coming?” Anran asked. She didn't know how shocked her parents would be at her flash marriage. She had wanted to test her parent's tone of speech, and then arrange for them to meet at another time.

“Is there a problem?” Su Yicheng furrowed his eyebrows and asked.

Anran opened her mouth. She didn't want him to come. After all, it was a family gathering, and it wasn't suitable for an outsider like him to appear. However, just as she was about to speak, Anran froze and remembered the marriage certificate in her bag. The word “outsider” was not appropriate when paired with that piece of paper. Also, in a situation like this, with his current status, he should definitely be present.

“Huh?” Su Yicheng probed as he looked at her.

Anran suddenly remembered that that afternoon, when she was on a blind date with him, she had heard him say that he was going home at night, and she quickly said:”Y-You were on the phone this afternoon. Didn't you say that you were returning home tonight? Therefore, you shouldn't have time tonight, right?”

When he heard this, Su Yicheng smiled and said, “I can distinguish between what is important and what is not. I can go home any day. Today is my mother-in-law's birthday, so of course, I must attend it. Okay, get in the car. If we keep delaying, then we will really be late.” As he spoke, he half pushed Anran into the car and closed the door. Then, he walked around the car and got in on the side.

He looked over at Anran. She seemed to not be in her right senses and was looking at him, dumbfounded. She was so out of it that she didn't even put on her seatbelt. Su Yicheng shook his head, unable to refrain from breaking out in laughter, and he raised up and moved over to put on her seatbelt for her.

At the same time he reached over, Anran came back to her senses. She was not used to such intimacy and wanted to push him away, embarrassed. She quickly said, “I-I-I… I can do it myself. It'll be fine if I do it myself.”

“Don't move,” Su Yicheng said besides Anran's ear, in a low voice.

The two of them were very close, and Su Yicheng could smell her natural scent emitting from her body. She didn't have any perfume on. He could see the blush on her small face. He knew that it was because she was shy, however, he found her shyness very cute and alluring.

Anran really didn't dare to move. She sat upright and still, holding her breath as she looked at him, hoping for him to quickly fasten the seatbelt and turn around.

The way she looked, reserved and not budging, made Su Yicheng laugh. However, her actions made her even more alluring to him. His self-restraint, which he thought was good, suddenly collapsed. He leaned his body forward, and his lips landed on hers. Her lips were very soft and had a sweet taste to them. He didn't know if she had eaten candy right before, but he liked this kind of taste.

The kiss did not last long. When Su Yicheng released her, Anran was a little stupefied because of the kiss. Her eyes were wide, and she had a dumbfounded expression.

Su Yicheng couldn't refrain from laughing when he saw her dumbfounded look. He softly shook his head, turned around, and started the car.
