Chapter 121 Do you think I'm older than you?
Su Nian secretly made up her mind: I must sort out the issues with my parents as soon as possible.
In the evening, when Su Hong received a call from her daughter, Chen Ran was washing dishes in the kitchen.
As soon as she answered the phone, Su Hong's first question was, "The sea fish and steak your dad sent you, are they edible?"
"Mom, it has to be delicious!" Su Nian's laughter floated out from the receiver. "My dad personally delivered it to our house this morning. Not only did he bring the ingredients, he also rolled up his sleeves and cooked us a big meal! But after finishing the meal, he was like he was in a hurry. He left without even a sip of hot soup. I guess he has a lot of things to do at the company."
"As long as it tastes good." Su Hong responded, but her mind was as clear as a mirror - he was not busy with work, he had clearly rushed back from his daughter's house to make lunch for her.
"Mom, let me tell you something serious," Su Nian changed the subject, "You and my dad, get the certificate quickly! Don't delay any longer!" She finally expressed what was in her mind.
Su Hong's heart skipped a beat. She secretly turned her head to glance towards the kitchen and asked in a low voice, "Niannian, do you really think... your dad and I are... suitable for each other now?
He's no longer the young man he used to be. He's in charge of such a big company. Now he brings his assistant with him when he goes out and calls me "Auntie" when he comes home. If I were to hang out with him and just talk about sewing machines, would he understand?
"Mom, are you being too Versailles or are you just not confident?" Su Nian immediately started to cheer him up, "With your sewing skills, so many old customers are lining up for you, how come you are not worthy of him?
Besides, my dad's feelings for you are more obvious than the pearls in milk tea. Isn't it for you that he has remained chaste for so many years and not looked for anyone else? Don't you understand?"
"I... will think about it again." Su Hong seemed to soften a little.
"What else are you thinking about?" Su Nian was so anxious that he almost slammed the table, but his tone quickly softened, "You two are living separately now, as if there is a Chu River and Han River between you.
I miss you and my dad every day, and I worry about them so much. You two should just cooperate, get married, live a good life together, and take care of each other, so I can worry less, right?
"Okay, Mom got it." Su Hong hung up the phone and sat on the sofa without moving. She was calculating her daughter's words in her mind like an abacus - it seemed that there was indeed nothing wrong with it.
Chen Ran in the kitchen had been listening intently for a long time, and even washed the dishes very slowly, for fear of missing the conversation between the mother and daughter.
At this moment, he was secretly happy: my daughter really understands me! When he went to deliver something this morning, he happened to meet his daughter's family with a friend. He didn't dare to ask her to persuade Su Hong, but he didn't expect his daughter to be so concerned. This assist was beautiful!
After a while, Chen Ran came out of the kitchen humming a little tune, took off his apron, and came to Su Hong: "Are you tired? Come, professional massage, I'll help you relax your shoulders."
As he spoke, he naturally put his hand on Su Hong's shoulder, with the strength neither too light nor too heavy, just right.
"Do you really think that we are suitable to live together now?" Su Hong did not avoid the question and spoke directly.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Chen Ran immediately became anxious when he heard it. "Sister, you are not thinking of backing out again, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hong immediately felt aggrieved: "Look, look! You're calling me Big Sister again! Do you think I look older than you? You've called me that several times!"
"Big... No, little sister!" Chen Ran's hand froze, and he quickly changed his words, muttering to himself: Why did this topic turn so fast? I should have known better.
Su Hong turned her head away from him, feeling more and more aggrieved as she spoke: "Look at you, you look at most in your early forties, your figure is taller than that of a young man, you are more than enough to find a young girl.
Look at me, I've worked hard for half my life, and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes are so thick they can trap mosquitoes. Standing next to you, I look a lot older than you!"
Chen Ran quickly stopped massaging, walked over to Su Hong, squatted down, and seriously coaxed her, "Ah Hong, what you said is wrong. In my eyes, you are still the same as you were twenty years ago, still that little girl in the floral dress. You haven't aged at all. How about... I get you a beauty card? Or... medical beauty? No, medical beauty is too painful, let's not go..."
"See! You still think I'm old!" Su Hong interrupted him, her eyes red. "I've arranged for beauty treatments and medical aesthetics. Isn't this just a disguised way of saying I look old?"
Chen Ran was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His mind was spinning rapidly, but his mouth couldn't keep up. "Your mood... could it be... your period? Oh, right, are you still having your period?"
As soon as he said this, Chen Ran wished he could sew his mouth shut.
Sure enough, Su Hong's face darkened. "In your mind, I'm not only old, but I don't even have my period anymore. I'm in menopause, right?"
Chen Ran was completely confused: How could this conversation be more difficult than discussing a 10 billion yuan project?
Whatever I say is a life-threatening question. Waiting online, urgent! How can I coax her?
He couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it. Well, he had to go all out!
Chen Ran reached out and pulled Su Hong into his arms, kissed her directly, and covered her mouth first - anyway, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, it is better to prove it with actions, which is more effective than anything else.
This kiss was light and quick, like when I was a kid stealing freshly made marshmallows, with a bit of rough sweetness.
Su Hong's whole body stiffened, and the words of grievance that had been stuck in her throat were stuck in mid-air. Even the tips of her ears turned red. She reached out to push him away, but her fingertips touched the warm fabric on Chen Er's back, and her strength weakened.
Chen Ran was also panicking. He let go of her after the kiss, his eyes wandering like a primary school student who had done something wrong. His hands were still frozen on Su Hong's waist, not daring to move. "I... I'm just afraid that you'll continue talking and become more and more twisted."
Su Hong turned her face away, her fingertips unconsciously picking at the sofa cover, her voice muffled: "You only know how to do this."
She said this, but her shoulders, which had been tense just now, slumped a little.
Seeing that she wasn't really angry, Chen Ran got a little bolder and leaned over to rub her arm, as if begging for mercy. "I'm not good with words, but I'm more nervous talking to you than signing any big contract. I'm afraid I'll say something wrong and make you angry."
He paused, then became serious again: "I call you 'Big Sister' not because I think you're old, but because I feel comfortable around you, just like family. If I wanted to flirt with you, I would have called you 'Ah Hong' or 'Baby' a long time ago, but I'm afraid you'll think I'm greasy."
"Who wants to hear you yell that?" Su Hong couldn't help but glare at him, but the grievance in her eyes was gone, and instead there was a hint of smile.
Chen Ran saw that there was a chance, so he quickly took advantage of it and reached out to tuck her scattered hair behind her ears: "You said there are wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, they are from smiling, they look much better than those fake faces with injections.
If I wanted to find a girl, I would have found one long ago. Why would I have waited all these years? I like people like you who can sew, cook, and even argue with me with energy. That’s what life is all about.”
