Chapter 100 Chapter 100 The Person I Like
Lin Anran was completely subdued by Zhou Heyuan and didn't dare to act violently towards him for the time being. However, ahem, that kind of thing was still very fun. She would wait for her to calm down and think about how to suppress it. Even though there was a big gap in physical strength between her and him, it didn't mean that she wouldn't have the day to be the master. Humph.
"Shall we get the marriage certificate the day after our birthday?" Although Zhou Heyuan was asking Lin Anran, his tone was affirmative, but he did not forget to ask for Lin Anran's consent.
Still a little dazed, Lin Anran hummed a "hmm." Zhou Heyuan touched her face and nudged her, "Anran, you agreed. You can't go back on your word."
"Huh?" Lin Anran's eyes widened suddenly, recalling what she had agreed to a few seconds ago. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, she blurted out, "So soon?"
"You're unhappy with me and want us to come legally. Does it matter if it's a day earlier or later? Or do you want to get the marriage certificate the day before our birthdays?" Zhou Heyuan asked in a slightly dangerous tone. "An Ran, don't you want to take three days off in a row? Three days off every year."
Lin Anran's heart was moved when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses: "I'm my own boss. I can take a day off anytime."
Zhou Heyuan slowly retorted, "But the meaning is different. These three days are our birthdays and the day we get our marriage certificate."
Lin Anran blinked: "That makes sense." The date was indeed special. Her birthday and Zhou Heyuan's birthday were two days before and after. She felt that there was a wonderful fate between her and him. This time she was very excited to plan in advance for them to celebrate their birthdays together. If the two of them got their marriage certificate and their birthdays were tied together, she would definitely look forward to these three days every year.
"Then we have to meet the parents before getting the marriage certificate, and there is not enough time." Lin Anran was already very tempted, but she suddenly remembered something very important. She and Zhou Heyuan had not met their parents yet. Oh, she had met Zhou's grandpa and grandma, but she had not met Zhou Heyuan's parents. Lin's mom and dad were still at the stage of suspecting that Zhou Heyuan was a fake person. Lin Anran suspected that even if she brought Zhou Heyuan back to the Lin family, Lin's mom and dad would still suspect her.
Zhou Heyuan immediately replied: "We can get the marriage certificate first and then hold the wedding."
Zhou Heyuan admitted that he had been impulsive, but what was wrong with being impulsive? The person who could make him impulsive was in his arms. He lowered his eyes and looked at her beautiful face quietly. He suddenly asked, "An Ran, will you suddenly regret it?"
Lin Anran was still thinking about Zhou Heyuan's previous words when he asked her another fatal question. She cleared her throat, reached out to hold his face, and said seriously: "You are so beautiful, why should I regret it?" She no longer concealed the fact that she was a face control.
"Okay, then let's get the certificate first and then meet the parents." Zhou Heyuan said.
Lin Anran stared at him, then suddenly opened her mouth and bit him: "You cheated! I haven't agreed to let you get the marriage certificate yet."
Zhou Heyuan smiled complacently: "All is fair in war."
"Damn it, you are so cunning." Lin Anran pretended to be dissatisfied and was about to bite him, but her face was full of a smile that she couldn't hide, she was very happy.
Zhou Heyuan was the same. He said seriously, "An Ran, you said love is war. I've kept your words in mind."
Lin Anran started playing dumb again: "No, I definitely didn't say that. Did you read that somewhere and pin it on me?"
"It seems I need to prepare a recorder?" Zhou Heyuan asked her.
Lin Anran shrank her neck, her eyes rolled, and she changed the subject: "Ahem, He Yuan, tell me, should we get the marriage certificate the day before my birthday or the day after yours? Oh, and by the way, does the date have to be an auspicious day? Do you understand?"
Zhou Heyuan looked at her silently. Lin Anran kissed him and touched his face in a flattering manner. After a while, she coaxed him into submission. It was a very nice and harmonious situation.
The date was finally decided by Lin Anran. She chose the day after Zhou Heyuan's birthday. Zhou Heyuan wanted it as early as possible, but now he was willing to make some concessions since he couldn't escape anyway.
But before getting the marriage certificate, Lin Anran and Zhou Heyuan had to inform both sets of parents first. They were both independent people, and their parents were elders in their lives, but they could not influence the decisions they made. This was the case for Zhou Heyuan, and even more so for Lin Anran.
Before calling the Lin family, Lin Anran thought of the original owner. The original owner married Wu Shun by suddenly telling Lin's mother and father. Lin's mother and father could not stop it, and the original owner married into the Wu family smoothly. She is not the original owner, but she and Zhou Heyuan have decided to get a marriage certificate, as if they had made the same decision as the original owner, but she knows very well that this is completely different, but Lin's mother and father may not feel good about the news.
Was she impulsive in deciding to get a marriage certificate with Zhou Heyuan? Yes, she was, but she had known Zhou Heyuan for more than a year and had been in love with him for almost a year. She believed in and admired Zhou Heyuan's character, and she liked him more and more every day. She even looked forward to what their future would be like.
It will definitely be very good.
Lin Anran was not nervous at all. He was excited and expectant. Ahem, maybe there would be some excitement?
She calmed herself down and looked at the phone at hand. She wanted to call the Lin family, but with a flick of her fingers, she dialed a phone number that she knew by heart for the first time. As expected, it was an unavailable number. Lin Anran sat quietly in the study, holding the phone to her ear motionlessly. After a while, she slowly put the phone back and took a deep breath.
It doesn't matter. She has known for a long time that this world is similar to her previous life but also different. There are no grandparents in this world, no relatives like her familiar great-grandfather. After she became rich, she asked people to inquire about her home address and family members in her previous life, but to no avail. Now this phone call is just to reassure herself.
Lin Anran believed that her grandparents would be very happy if they knew that she had found someone she loved and was planning to get married, and she would no longer be alone.
Lin Anran was not sad, on the contrary, she was very happy, so she quickly called the Lin family again. Without any detours, she directly told Lin's mother that she was going to get a marriage certificate!
Mother Lin was originally very happy when she received the call from her eldest daughter, but when she heard these words suddenly, her head was buzzing and she was unable to come back to her senses for a long time. When she realized that An Ran was suddenly going to get married again, she felt like the sky was falling.
Hearing Lin Ma's sudden rapid breathing, Lin Anran touched her nose awkwardly. She was the one who took the blame for the original owner's mistake. Since she was using the original owner's body, she had to take the blame even if she didn't want to.
"...Anran, why are you getting married?" Mother Lin's voice was a little trembling. As a mother, she felt sorry for her eldest daughter's suffering in the past, so she said that she would support Anran for the rest of her life. This was Mother Lin's true words.
But Lin's mother's view was actually old-fashioned. She hoped Anran would find another good husband. After all, she couldn't let a good child live alone for the rest of her life. When Lin's mother and Lin's father spoke privately, they realized that as parents, they would definitely die before their children. They were worried that Anran would be lonely in her later years. Even if her nephews and nieces could help, they couldn't always take care of an aunt.
Lin Anran had told them before that she was dating someone. When Lin's mom and dad heard this, they were mixed with joy and worry. They were happy because Anran had truly gotten over her previous unhappy marriage, but they were worried because they were afraid that Anran would meet another "Wu Shun" again. Especially when they heard Lin Anran introduce her boyfriend's conditions, Lin's mom and dad were even more worried. In their eyes as parents, their eldest daughter Anran must be a good person. However, Lin's mom and dad were sober enough. Anran's boyfriend was too outstanding. Lin's mom and dad didn't know how they were dating. If Anran hadn't made up stories to coax them, this boyfriend this time would be from a truly "rich family".
In the past, the eldest daughter married into the Wu family. The Wu family was better off than the Lin family. Every time the two families met, the Wu family members were condescending to the Lin family, as if they had married into a wealthy family. The Wu family members tried their best to manipulate and torture the eldest daughter. When Mother Lin thought of this, she became even more uneasy. She wanted to call the eldest daughter back so that her family could introduce her to a partner, but when the words came to her lips, Mother Lin swallowed them back. She and the child's father could not make decisions for the eldest daughter.
Lin Anran didn't know about her mother's complicated feelings. She remembered something and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you that my boyfriend was my former boss?"
Mother Lin: “Ah?”
"I really didn't say that," Lin Anran patted her head and explained about her and Zhou Heyuan. In order to reassure Lin's mother and father, she also talked about some of her interactions with Zhou Heyuan. "Heyuan is very good to me. He supports my progress and I like him very much." She said the latter sentence especially solemnly. If she couldn't reassure Lin's mother and father completely, then she would let them know more and let them know how serious she was.
"He sent you books?" After listening carefully, Mother Lin finally felt relieved. Even though Mother Lin had not been to school much, she respected learning. When she heard that Zhou Heyuan often sent books to Lin Anran, she had the impression that Zhou Heyuan was a scholar.
Lin Anran smiled and said, "Yes, he gave me a lot of books. Before I started dating him, I would borrow his books from time to time."
Mother Lin nodded and commented, "This boss doesn't stop his employees from making progress. He's a good one."
Lin Anran laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Yes, he also encourages his employees to make progress. Of course, he himself is the most motivated one."
After she started dating Zhou Heyuan, Lin Anran specifically got his daily schedule to discuss with him. When he was dating her, Zhou Heyuan did not delay his work, nor did he stop improving himself. When he needed to be self-disciplined, Mr. Zhou was still extremely self-disciplined. He also found ways to improve his work and study efficiency. He was simply a god.
As expected of a big boss who can be a fighter among big bosses, Lin Anran feels inferior to him. She cannot compare with Zhou Heyuan in terms of brains and energy. However, she does not intend to compete with Zhou Heyuan. She just follows her own steps and moves forward step by step. It must be said that having a big boss by her side to teach her hand in hand has improved her work and study efficiency.
"Anran, can you tell me more about your boyfriend? Tell me in detail?" Mother Lin asked carefully. At this time, she didn't mind the expensive phone bill at all. She wanted Lin Anran to say more and more.
"Sure, I brought Anli and Anhua to have dinner with him. Anli and Anhua like Heyuan very much..." Lin Anran said slowly.
The more Mother Lin listened, the more she felt that An Ran's boyfriend seemed really good. But then she thought of her eldest daughter's boyfriend, who was perfect in her eyes. Mother Lin secretly thought about calling An Li and An Hua to ask about it.
After Lin Anran finished speaking, Lin's mother asked her when she would bring the person home for them to see.
This time it was Lin Anran's turn to be conflicted. Although she and Zhou Heyuan had agreed that they must go back to Lin Village to see the Lin family, she still remembered the thrill and discomfort of the journey back to the village last year. Returning home from Shenzhen was too tiring, and she really didn't want to suffer again this year. However, she had to go back.
"We should go back after the New Year. There will be fewer people on the train then." Lin Anran said.
Mother Lin also remembered the suffering Lin Anran had endured when she returned home. If it weren't for her two friends protecting her, who knows what Anran would have encountered. Mother Lin's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Safety is the most important thing. It's okay if you can't come back. It's best if you are all well."
Lin Anran felt warm in his heart: "I know, I won't do anything rash."
Transportation is indeed inconvenient these days, and the road conditions are bad. Some people who work away from home may not return home for several years. After all, train tickets are too difficult to buy, and a round trip is expensive, laborious and dangerous. Even if Lin Anran is rich now, it cannot be said that he can easily travel back and forth between Shenzhen and Lin Village.
It just so happened that Lin Anli and Lin Anhua were both back from school, one having a holiday, and Lin Anran happily announced to them the good news of her and Zhou Heyuan.
Lin Anli and Lin Anhua were stunned, their faces bewildered. Seeing this, Lin Anran couldn't help laughing. She clapped her hands in front of them and said, "Come back to your senses. Are you surprised? Congratulate me!"
Lin Anli and Lin Anhua: "..."
No, they were not surprised at all, they just felt frightened. How could they even think of congratulating their sister Lin Anran?
Lin Anran looked at the twins and raised an eyebrow slightly: "What's wrong? Are you as worried about my marriage as Mom is?"
The twins looked at each other in surprise, then nodded in unison. They were worried, very worried. Even though they thought Zhou Heyuan was a good person, they couldn't help but worry, especially because their sister's previous marriage was not going well, and they were afraid.
Lin Anran smiled and stretched out his two hands, pressing one on each of Lin Anli and Lin Anhua's heads and rubbing them: "Getting married won't delay my earning money and going to school. My goals are as clear as yours."
"Sister, you have to do what you say and never let marriage hold you back. Making money is the most important thing." Lin Anli said with a serious face and clenched fists.
Lin Anran turned to look at Lin Anhua curiously.
Lin Anhua scratched his head and said, "Sister, I'm worried about you, but I seem to be more worried about Brother Heyuan?"
Lin Anran's eyes lit up: "Why?"
Lin Anhua thought hard, and he said carefully, "Because Brother He Yuan is under your control? I think so. Yes, that's right, isn't it?"
Lin Anran bit his lower lip, then broke into laughter, and rubbed Lin Anhua's head with both hands: "You're right, Anhua is really sharp." And he went straight to the center.
"Don't worry, I will definitely treat your brother-in-law well, haha."
Lin Anli stared at Lin Anhua in surprise. Lin Anhua showed his big white teeth and smiled foolishly: "Brother Heyuan is very good to us. He gave me a lot of recipes."
Lin Anli glared at Lin Anhua with a look of disappointment. Was the brat bribed just like that? But when she thought of the tutoring books and test papers Zhou Heyuan had given her, she felt a little uneasy. To be honest, her future brother-in-law was really good to them. It was precisely because he loved her that he loved her so much that he treated them well too. This was something Wu Shun had never done before.
"Sister, you are very powerful now. Brother He Yuan will definitely not hurt you. However, we are still worried about what we should worry about." Lin Anhua straightened his face and looked at Lin Anran very seriously.
"I won't give you the chance to worry about me." Lin Anran winked at the twins with his right eye.
"Sister, take care of yourself." Lin Anli didn't know what to say. She just subconsciously reached out to hold her sister Lin Anran's hand.
Lin Anran smiled and patted her hand: "Okay, I got it."
Lin Anli looked at her sister's beautiful face and couldn't help but be distracted. Until now, she was still a little uncomfortable with her sister's current appearance. Her sister had really... changed so much.
"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Seeing Lin Anli staring at her face in a daze, Lin Anran reached out and touched her forehead with amusement.
"Huh? I'm wondering if dating is really a good idea?" Lin Anli made up an excuse. "At school, some boys sent me love letters, and some even approached me to confess their love. I rejected them all, saying I wanted to study hard and get into university, and I wouldn't consider dating before I got in."
"No one is bothering you, right?" Lin Anran asked immediately.
Lin Anli shook her head: "No, I didn't follow up with those boys after I rejected them. Our head teacher is keeping a close eye on them, and the dean of studies is always stalking couples in various corners of the school."
"That's good." Lin Anran felt relieved. There was a difference between high school boys and those who had been in society for several years like Chen Guangzong. Moreover, Lin Anli attended a very good high school. Most parents of students attached great importance to studying, and the school leaders and teachers paid close attention to students' studies.
"It's a wonderful thing to fall in love with someone you love." Lin Anran couldn't help but smile brightly when he thought of Zhou Heyuan.
Lin Anli looked at the happy smile on her sister's face, her eyes paused, and then the corners of her mouth slowly rose. That's great, my sister should have found happiness this time.
"Sister, I go to see Anli from time to time. Whoever dares to cause trouble to her, please check with my fist first." Lin Anhua, who did not have those delicate thoughts, raised his fist, not realizing that his words destroyed the pink bubble.
Lin Anli's mouth twitched, and she said to Lin Anran, "Sister, let me tell you, Anhua is very popular. Many female classmates asked me if Anhua had a girlfriend and where he went to school."
Lin Anhua screamed "Ga" and was completely frightened. The next second, he hugged himself tightly, like a forced young man from a good family.
"Hahahaha!" Lin Anran fell on Lin Anli with laughter. Doesn't Lin Anhua look like a good boy? Hahaha.
Lin Anran smiled and looked at Lin Anli and Lin Anhua. In terms of appearance, the twins were indeed outstanding. In addition, their dressing was completely different from before. The rustic look on them was gone, and their skin was fair. They were at the age of vigor and vitality, and they would naturally attract many people among their peers. It had to be said that Lin's mother and father had really good genes, otherwise they would not have given birth to four good-looking children.
"Why are you hiding?" Lin Anli rolled her eyes and said, "I told you not to talk about it, so I rejected it for you."
"That's good, that's good." Lin Anhua felt relieved instantly. Although he was carefree, he had not forgotten about Tian Xiaoyue. He was now concentrating on learning cooking from Master Hao, so he had no time to think about anything else and would definitely not consider it in the short term.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Anran brought up the matter of Tian Xiaoyue and Chen Guangzong. These two had been involved with the twins in the past. Even if there was no connection now, had the past feud really been settled? It didn't matter to them. The key was Tian Xiaoyue. Was someone as proud as Tian Xiaoyue really willing to accept this defeat at the hands of Lin Anhua? Intelligent people often harbor arrogance.
Lin Anran never intended to protect Lin Anli and Lin Anhua completely. They were not weak people and they could face wind and rain head-on.
Upon hearing about Tian Xiaoyue and Chen Guangzong, Lin Anhua's first reaction was, "I've already said it before, Tian Xiaoyue can't possibly like me. She doesn't want to marry into her family at all! Sister, she's been asking me to marry into her family time and time again. Isn't that just to tease me?"
Lin Anran spread his hands: "I don't know, but maybe you are just a tool."
Lin Anhua had heard Lin Anran explain what a tool person was before, and now he agreed with the explanation: "I must be a tool person who is thrown away after being used."
"Don't be sad. Maybe in Tian Xiaoyue's eyes, men are just tools." Lin Anran comforted Lin Anhua.
"It's admirable that she works hard to make money, but I can't admire her." Lin Anli's thoughts are much more complicated. Intellectually, she thinks Tian Xiaoyue is very capable, and they both like to make money. Emotionally, she cannot agree with the harm Tian Xiaoyue indirectly caused to Lin Anhua.
Lin Anran: "Don't admire her. I told you about Tian Xiaoyue just to make you be careful. We are not afraid of Tian Xiaoyue and Chen Guangzong, but if you meet them in the future, you have to be careful."
Lin Anli thought for a moment and said, "Tian Xiaoyue has a lot to worry about, but the person she needs to be most wary of is Chen Guangzong. He once had the nerve to hire thugs to beat up Anhua. Who knows if he'll do the same thing in the future?"
"Isn't Tian Xiaoyue married? Why is Chen Guangzong still with her?" Lin Anhua couldn't understand and asked curiously.
"You have a single-minded mind, so don't think about such complicated things. Why do you care who Chen Guangzong stays with? As long as he is willing, it's fine." Lin Anli complained mercilessly.
Lin Anhua muttered: "I think Chen Guangzong is even dumber than me."
"Puchi~" Lin Anran didn't want to laugh, but Lin Anhua always managed to make her funny bone unintentionally. Her eyes fell on Lin Anhua's head. Does this kid have a head full of delicious food and fun things?
"Let's go, He Yuan is treating us to dinner today." After the brother and sister finished their heart-to-heart talk, Lin Anran stood up and rubbed her cheeks. She had laughed too much just now and felt her face was a little stiff. Sure enough, the return of these two lively guys brought a lot of joy.
Lin Anran had taken the twins to have dinner with Zhou Heyuan several times, and Lin Anli and Lin Anhua were quite familiar with Zhou Heyuan, especially Lin Anhua, who had become so familiar with calling Zhou Heyuan "Brother Heyuan".
"Sister, I'll have dinner with Brother He Yuan later and have a manly conversation with him," Lin Anhua asked seriously as they were leaving. "Dad and Big Brother are not here, so let me support you first."
Lin Anran agreed immediately: "Okay."
After arriving at the restaurant, Lin Anhua and Zhou Heyuan went out to the private room alone. When they came back, Lin Anhua called Zhou Heyuan "brother-in-law" all the time, very skillfully.
Lin Anli gave Lin Anhua a traitorous look. It had only been a short time, and the brat had already switched sides? He was such a loser.
Lin Anli angrily picked up a lot of bitter melon for Lin Anhua, but Lin Anhua, who disliked bitter melon, ate piece after piece: "Anli, this bitter melon is delicious. You picked it up for me because you know this bitter melon stuffed with meat is delicious."
“…”
Lin Anli silently picked up a piece of bitter melon stuffed with meat and put it in her mouth. Her mouth was full of the aroma of meat, and the slight bitterness of the bitter melon was well neutralized by the seasoning and meat. It was really delicious. No wonder Lin Anhua, who didn't like bitter melon, couldn't stop eating it.
"Try the bitter melon stuffed with meat. This dish is the signature dish of this restaurant and is made by the chef himself." Zhou Heyuan picked up a piece for Lin Anran and asked her to try it.
Lin Anran withdrew her gaze from the twins and looked down at the piece of bitter melon stuffed with meat in the bowl. She didn't like bitter melon either, but it just so happened that this vegetable existed in the world. As if she were brave enough to sacrifice herself, she picked up the bitter melon stuffed with meat, brought it to her mouth, opened her mouth and bit into it, chewing and chewing. Huh? It was really delicious! She couldn't even taste the bitterness. She ate three pieces in a row before stopping.
"Bitter melon stuffed with meat is delicious, but it's only available in this restaurant. I still don't like bitter melon." Lin Anran said confidently.
Zhou Heyuan had no intention of getting Lin Anran to like bitter melon. There were many kinds of vegetables in the world, and there was bound to be one that Anran would like. So he said, "If you like it, let's eat it here."
Lin Anran nodded: "Okay, okay, I don't like bitter dishes. What did you say to Anhua when you went out just now?"
"Do you want to know?" Zhou Heyuan asked her slowly.
Lin Anran was instantly alert. She had a hunch that Zhou Heyuan was going to do something bad to her again. Her brain couldn't compete with his cunning schemes, so she quickly shook her head: "No."
"What a pity. I was planning to tell you." Zhou Heyuan said it was a pity, but there was no trace of regret in his expression.
Lin Anran snorted softly at him, "I won't be fooled. You definitely didn't plan to tell me that Anhua told you to, like, talk between men?"
Zhou Heyuan reached out and took her hand, gently kneading it: "Yes, I promised you can't tell."
"Okay, I won't ask about this, but how did you get Anhua to call you brother-in-law?" Lin Anran scratched his palm.
"An Ran, we still have five days to get the marriage certificate. It won't be a problem if An Hua changes his mind sooner." Zhou Heyuan reminded that time is running out.
Five days.
Lin Anran instantly forgot her question as the time drew closer. "Five days, it feels like it's gone in the blink of an eye."
Zhou Heyuan said: "But I feel that time is very long, and the days are like years. If five days can really pass in the blink of an eye, I will be very happy."
Lin Anran returned the favor by giving him a piece of bitter melon stuffed with meat. She smiled at him and said, "I won't run away. These five days of waiting will be the most beautiful and special five days. I also want to celebrate my birthday and help you celebrate your birthday too."
Zhou Heyuan looked at her, his heart beating violently, but he felt strangely at ease. He and An Ran would always be together and never separate. The five-day wait was not only torment, but also sweetness, excitement, and happiness.
…it started again.
Lin Anli stared at Lin Anhua, asking him to concentrate on eating. She carefully glanced at her sister and future brother-in-law opposite her, and the corners of her lips secretly curled up. She had noticed a long time ago that every time her sister brought them to eat with her future brother-in-law, only she and Anhua concentrated on eating while her sister and future brother-in-law were secretly in love. Lin Anli felt that no one could get between them. She and Anhua were like two light bulbs.
Dating is just like what my sister said, you will be happy only if you find someone you like.
