Chapter 79: Really Losing My Reputation
When Su Hong woke up in an unfamiliar bed, her heart skipped a beat. Three philosophical questions immediately popped into her mind: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?
It was not until his eyes fell on Chen Ran, who was lying on the bed, that his chaotic memories began to return, and the fragments of last night's drunkenness flooded into his mind.
Reluctantly, she pressed her swollen temples, secretly sighing that "drinking will lead to bad luck" is indeed an eternal truth.
She had only touched alcohol twice in her life, and each time, it was related to the man in front of her.
When I thought of this, my already depressed mood became even more irritable.
Chen Ran, who was sleeping soundly, felt very wronged: Sister, I admitted it the first time, but it was clearly you who held the bottle of wine and refused to let go last night!
Chen Ran, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly frowned, as if he was in a nightmare. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Hong's hand hanging by the bed. He grabbed it with such strength as if he had grabbed some treasure and refused to let go at all.
"Cough... cough cough..." Su Hong's wrist was tightened, so she had to speak out, abruptly breaking the silence of the early morning.
Chen Ran woke up instantly, looked up and saw that he was tightly holding Su Hong's hand. His fingertips loosened subconsciously, but he did not let go. There was a daze in his eyes, as if he was still immersed in the dream just now.
"Are you okay? Do you have a headache?" Chen Ran asked subconsciously.
"Not bad." The warmth from his hand made Su Hong feel a little uncomfortable. She gently pulled his hand away and tried to make conversation. "Last night... I slept very well. As the saying goes, a good mattress really does make a difference."
Chen Ran silently remembered this incoherent sentence in his heart - OK, the first step in the plan to pursue his wife: start with the mattress.
He had already made a shopping list in his mind: latex mattress, silk quilt, silk four-piece set... he was determined to improve Su Hong's sleep quality.
He rubbed his numb legs and slowly got up. His legs were stiff after lying on the edge of the bed all night.
Su Hong took the opportunity to sit up and glanced at her clothes vigilantly.
"Don't look, I didn't touch you." Chen Ran said seriously with a smile in his eyes, but added in his heart: Although I really want to.
Su Hong rolled her eyes at him and cursed in her heart: You old thing, you still want to touch me!
She stood up and was about to leave, refusing even to wash up.
Chen Ran couldn't persuade her, so he had to drive her back.
But before the car reached the gate of the community, Su Hong insisted on getting out of the car.
It was not until she stepped into her own "pigeon cage PLUS" and closed the door that Su Hong's heart, which had been hanging in the air all morning, finally settled down and her breathing became smoother.
She took out her cell phone and called Afen first, making an excuse that she had something urgent to do and decided not to go to the tailor shop that morning.
When she was looking through the call logs, she caught a glimpse of Su Nian's missed call from last night and quickly called back.
"Mom, did you go to bed very early last night? No one answered my calls." Su Nian's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with a hint of worry.
"Yeah, I was a little tired and went to bed early." Su Hong responded vaguely, not daring to ask more. "Is there anything wrong?"
"Si Yan's aunt said she's going to the store to make clothes today..."
"Just ask Aunt Fen to take care of things. Mom won't be in the store this morning." Su Hong interrupted hurriedly.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell? If you are, you should go to the hospital!" Su Nian immediately became nervous.
"It's okay, you just didn't get enough rest. You'll feel better after lying down for a while." Su Hong quickly comforted him.
"Okay then, don't worry about Aunt Si Yan. I'll take you there. I'll come home to see you after I'm done."
"No, you're pregnant. Don't run around. Have a good rest. Mom is really fine." Su Hong quickly refused.
After hanging up the phone, Su Hong leaned back on the sofa and sighed deeply.
What happened last night? He's already old, and he still made such a scene. He really lost his dignity in his later years!
Chen Ran had a family, right? It was outrageous for me to stay at his place all night without knowing what was going on.
I was the one who willingly gave birth to and raised the child. He's not in good health now, so there's no need for him to get involved...
She scratched her hair in frustration, thinking back to the wine she had last night—was it really that good? She couldn't touch it again. It was truly a recipe for disaster.
At this time, Si Yan was driving the car, and he was listening to his aunt Si Yuqing's preaching, "A Yan, you are married now, you should take care of your small family more..."
He secretly complained in his heart: I finally waited for a day of rest, and I wanted to spend some time with my wife, but I was dragged into making some clothes, and this Li Jiawei was also there to help and act as the atmosphere.
"Aunt, my mother is not in the store today. You and Jiawei can choose the materials first, and I will help you decide on the style. I will talk to my mother and Aunt Fen later." Su Nian interrupted Si Yuqing softly and took over the conversation cleverly.
Si Yuqing originally wanted to come to the tailor shop to meet her famous and capable relative Su Hong, but unexpectedly she was not there.
Fortunately, my niece-in-law was there to give me advice, so it didn’t affect my mood at all.
When they arrived at the tailor shop, Li Jiawei was smart. Seeing her mother Si Yuqing struggling with the fabric, she quickly selected two styles she liked and ordered two sets of clothes swiftly. Her movements were so fast as if she was afraid that someone would change their mind if she was a second late.
After helping them take their measurements, Afen turned around, picked up two pieces of clothing, and handed them to Su Nian. "Niannian, this is a couple's windbreaker that Auntie Fen made for you and Xiao Si. Consider it a wedding gift for you."
She was happy from the bottom of her heart that the child she had watched grow up had a good home now.
"Aunt Fen..." Su Nian's eyes were filled with tears. She hugged Afen and started to act coquettishly. She looked as if she had returned to her childhood.
"Okay, try it on and see if it fits. I'm glad you don't mind." Afen patted her shoulder lovingly.
She has always been sentimental. If others are nice to her, she always wants to repay them more.
For this couple's trench coat, Afen specially chose a gentle beige cotton blend fabric. The slightly loose straight shoulder style is neat and elegant. The classic style makes the two people's figures look more upright, just like models walking out of a fashion magazine.
The stitches on the body of the garment are even and delicate, and the hems of the cuffs and collar do not have the slightest sense of machine-sewn stiffness, and even no extra threads can be found. The exquisite thought is hidden in these details.
If this kind of craftsmanship were placed in a high-end custom shop, the starting price would be at least five figures.
Si Yan looked at Su Nian in the mirror, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he unconsciously took her hand, his heart filled with joy: She has to be my wife, she looks good in anything she wears!
Looking at myself again, I feel pretty energetic, without any sense of vicissitudes of life of an "old cow eating young grass". At most, I am the standard example of "mature uncle with a sweet girl".
Su Nian was also attracted by the two people in the mirror. The entire tailor shop seemed to be their backdrop. She never thought that a windbreaker could make them so compatible.
Her cheeks flushed slightly and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, making her look like a young girl who had just fallen in love.
Li Jiawei was the first to become a praise machine: "It looks good! It looks so good!"
As she spoke, she turned around and teased Si Yan, "Brother, you just said that we women love to show off, but look at you, you're showing off! It's obvious that you men can't resist nice clothes either!"
"Thank you, Aunt Fen. It fits me perfectly." Si Yan gave Afen a sincere smile and silently gave the windbreaker a five-star rating in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I'm happy if you look good in your clothes." Afen looked at the perfect couple in front of her and couldn't stop smiling.
Si Yuqing leaned in to examine the texture and workmanship of the two men's windbreakers, secretly astonished. This small tailor shop is truly a treasure trove of hidden talents, with such excellent craftsmanship! I'll have to recommend this shop to more friends.
After seeing off Si Yuqing and Li Jiawei, Su Nian and Si Yan were preparing to go home to see Su Hong, but they didn't expect that Su Hong had already arrived and was greeting Aunt Fang from the photo studio next door.
