Su Nian, a third-year fashion design student, got drunk after a breakup and stumbled into a hotel room, having a one-night stand with a stranger. After sobering up, she fled in a panic, intending t...

Chapter 76 The Life I Longed For

Not long after, the door of the clinic opened and Chen Ran came out. His face looked much more relaxed than when he came in.

Su Nian immediately went over to him and asked with concern, "Mr. Chen, how are you? Are you okay?"

"Much better," Chen Ran nodded with a smile. "Doctor Si's medical skills are truly amazing. After taking the prescription he prescribed, I feel much better."

At this time, Si Yan also came out, holding the newly written prescription in his hand, and said to Chen Ran, "Your pulse is much more stable than last time. Continue to take the medicine according to the treatment course, pay attention to a light diet, and maintain a regular work and rest schedule. We will see at the next follow-up visit. Maybe the remaining polyps can be eliminated without surgery."

"That's great!" Su Nian was happier than Chen Ran, and said while pulling Si Yan's arm.

Si Yan was amused by her little appearance and touched her head lovingly: "Okay, stop making trouble."

Turning to Chen Ran, he said, "It's the same as before. I'll have the prescription prepared and boiled by the pharmacy. You can come pick it up later."

Chen Ran watched the two interact naturally and intimately, a subtle sourness rising in his heart, but he still wore a decent smile on his face and said gently, "Thank you very much, Doctor Si, and thank you Su Nian for your concern. I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back first and come back to get the medicine tomorrow."

After seeing Chen off, Su Nian was still excitedly talking to Si Yan: "Look how amazing you are! Even Chairman Chen praises you so much!"

Si Yan shook his head helplessly and put his arm around her waist: "Well, then, Miss Su Nian, do you want to reward your amazing husband?"

"How do you want to reward me?" Su Nian looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.

"Let's talk about it when we get home tonight." Si Yan lowered his head and whispered in her ear. His warm breath brushed against her earlobe, causing Su Nian to blush instantly.

At this time, Zhang Minghua also packed up his things and came over, saying with a smile: "Okay, don't hang around here, go home, grandpa and grandma are still waiting at home."

Su Nian quickly broke free from Si Yan's arms, grabbed her mother-in-law's arm and walked away: "Mom, let's go!"

Si Yan looked at her back as she ran away with a red face, the smile in his eyes so gentle that it was about to overflow, and he quickly followed her.

After leaving Jishiditang, Chen Ran thought of Su Nian's concern for his condition just now, and his heart was filled with warmth: This child has a pure and kind heart. Si Yan, that kid, is really lucky! Alas, such a good daughter, he is so lucky.

It was already evening, and Chen Ran really didn't want to go back to the empty house and the cold stove. After thinking it over, he decided to go to the tailor shop for dinner. After all, the first time you eat for free, you'll be familiar with it the second time.

Chen Ran walked into the tailor shop and Su Hong was greeting customers.

Today is the weekend, and Su Hong is the only one busy in the store. It is rare for Afen to be at home with her son.

Su Hong caught a glimpse of Chen Ran entering the store from the corner of her eye and muttered to herself, "Why is he here again? Is he treating this place like a canteen? There's no food in the store today."

Chen Ran walked straight into the small kitchen at the back of the tailor shop, looked around, and found no dishes. He turned around and sat down on the rattan chair by the window.

At this time, Su Hong had just finished measuring the customer and was sending him out. Seeing him sit down, she said bluntly, "I'm the only one in the store today, and there are no dishes."

The meaning is obvious: there is no food here, so you'd better find another way.

Chen Ran had an idea in his mind. He looked up and asked her with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

"I'll just cook something when I get home." Su Hong agreed, but she was thinking: I don't want to eat your food.

"Why don't you come to my place and do it?" Chen Ran suggested shamelessly.

What? He's a married man, and he actually invited me to his house? Is he trying to stage some kind of "middle-aged drama"?

Su Hong's heart was alarmed, and she refused: "This is not appropriate."

"What's inappropriate about it? I live alone and won't bother anyone." Chen Ran insisted.

Live alone? Oh, yes! The last time Chen Ran was in the hospital, his colleague Fang Shuo told him that his family was all in the south.

Su Hong thought about it and realized she wanted to talk to him too. She absolutely couldn't let him go to her house. Going out to eat? He was still taking Chinese medicine, right? She didn't know how he was doing. It would be a good idea to go to his house and see what his life was like.

The two went to the supermarket to buy groceries. Although they were both in their forties or fifties, they both had good looks and temperament. They were very pleasing to the eye when walking together, and people passing by couldn't help but take a second look.

Looking at the looks in their eyes, Chen Ran's mouth almost stretched to his ears. Su Hong, however, rolled her eyes inwardly: What are they thinking? Don't get me wrong, he and I are not from the same family!

Chen Ran pushed the shopping cart and watched Su Hong carefully picking out the dishes beside him. His heart was filled with joy. This was exactly the life he had been dreaming of!

After buying groceries, Chen Ran drove home.

The car slowly drove into the high-end residential complex on the riverside - Wanjing International, which is one of the best real estate projects in Jiangcheng.

Su Hong secretly stuck out her tongue in her heart. It seemed that she had underestimated his financial resources.

As soon as she entered the house, Su Hong was shocked by the scene before her.

The house is a large flat, estimated to be more than 300 square meters. The modern Chinese style decoration is simple and elegant, and the view is excellent, with a panoramic view of the scenery within a radius of ten kilometers.

Wow, compared to this, Su Hong felt that her home could only be considered a "pigeon cage PLUS" at best. Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating.

"No need to change shoes. We don't have any women's slippers at home." Chen Ran's tone was full of the self-righteousness of a bachelor.

Su Hong looked around and muttered to herself: He really lives alone, there is not even a trace of life in this room.

"You are so extravagant, living in such a big house by yourself, aren't you afraid at night?" She couldn't help but complain.

"Then you move in here, and we can... build up our courage together?" Chen Ran blurted out, but was interrupted by Su Hong before he could finish his words.

"Chen Ran," Su Hong said with a tone of rejection, "What nonsense are you talking about!" He is in his sixties and speaks without thinking at all.

Chen Ran felt that he was not wrong. There was nothing wrong with two single people rekindling their relationship, especially since they had a daughter. This was exactly what he thought in his heart.

Seeing Su Hong's repulsive expression, Chen Ran tentatively changed his mind: "How about I buy you a set too?"

Is buying a house the same as buying radishes and cabbages? Are you a domineering CEO? You can buy anything you want, give anything away as a gift? Su Hong muttered to herself.

She didn't want to continue this embarrassing topic, so she quickly diverted her attention: "Where is the kitchen? Let's cook."

Seeing this, Chen Ran hurriedly took the bag of vegetables at the door to the kitchen, and Su Hong followed behind him.

Su Hong looked at the dazzling array of ingredients and selected a few. She planned to make steamed mandarin fish, stir-fried beef, blanched shrimp, and mushrooms and vegetables in the evening, which would be enough for two people.

She asked Chen Ran to put the other ingredients in the refrigerator. She bought too much and was afraid that it would not be enough for a week's meals.

Chen Ran - That's what I thought. It would be best if we could come here and cook together every day.

The two of them busied themselves in the kitchen.

Chen Ran looked at Su Hong and thought silently in his heart that if such a day could come true, he would have nothing to ask for in his life.
