Chapter 98 So... Professor Si is on a date?
Although Su Nian had her own plans, she couldn't let her worker's spirit down! Work? She continued to move forward smoothly.
By the end of this week, she has successfully completed more than half of the several design series she is working on, and will soon enter the pattern-making stage - yes, this is her "weak point in her design career"!
She clenched her fist and decided: Next week, she must hold Fang Xia's thigh tightly and chew off this hard bone!
Chen Ran seemed to have figured out Su Nian's habit of going to Su Hong's house for dinner every Friday.
As the workday was about to end, he sent me a message: "Let's go together after get off work. I'll also go to your mom's house for a meal."
Su Nian's jaw dropped. The dignified boss of Chen's actually didn't shy away from her and said he wanted to go to her mother's house to "eat for free"?
This is not just about getting a free meal, it's clearly about getting the status of a "family member"!
Mr. Chen's feelings for Ms. Su Hong are so obvious that he doesn't even try to hide them.
But on second thought, this is a good thing. It's a good opportunity to observe up close how far this middle-aged couple has progressed!
Si Yan also said he had something to do tonight, so she would bring her "stepfather" home~
But when he entered the room, he found that the lights were off, the stove was cold, and Su Hong was sitting alone on the sofa in a daze.
Seeing the two people walking in, she was obviously startled - the natural blood relationship is hard to erase. Look at the movements and eyes of the father and daughter as they walked in together, they were perfectly synchronized.
Chen Ran quickly stepped forward and very naturally reached out to touch her forehead: "Are you feeling unwell? How come you look so listless after just a few days of not seeing each other?"
Her daughter was watching from the side. Facing Chen Ran's intimate behavior, Su Hong's old face turned red. She felt very uncomfortable and quickly said, "I'm fine!"
Su Nian, who was standing aside, was thinking to himself: I didn’t see it, I didn’t see it!
Su Hong seemed to have come to her senses a little bit, "It's already Friday? Look at my memory!"
She really forgot the time.
"Then... let's go out to eat?" Chen Ran suggested.
"Okay, I'll treat you today. Mom, do you want to change your clothes?" Su Nian also agreed.
Su Hong looked down at her home clothes, then looked at the two urban elites in front of her, and laughed at herself in her heart: My goodness, she is just a background mother.
She walked into the room silently, washed her face, changed into a simple and decent dress, tidied herself up a little, and when she walked out again - her whole person changed at the speed of light, and her temperament was at its peak!
Chen Ran was stunned. Wow, she looked as if she was wearing a battle robe. She was instantly refreshed and bright. She was trying to make herself unworthy of her rhythm!
The stepfather drove the mother and daughter to a high-end restaurant near Beijing Road.
As soon as they walked in, even the waiter couldn't help but secretly admire the outstanding looks of this family of three.
After ordering the dishes, while Chen Ran was in the bathroom, Su Hong whispered to her daughter, "Niannian, it must cost a lot to eat here, right?"
"Don't worry, your daughter is rich and can afford it." Su Nian thought to herself that she had not touched a single cent of the huge sum of money that Li Yuan Studio and Chen had paid as compensation.
The dishes were served one after another. Chen Ran took care of the mother and daughter almost the entire time and didn't eat much himself.
Looking at his expression, he seemed satisfied without even having to eat - a family of three sitting together neatly. To him, this scene was like a dream.
However, Su Hong still seemed a little restrained. Su Nian saw it and thought to herself: Mom, please stand up for yourself!
Su Hong herself was also struggling internally: Should she tell her daughter now that Chen Ran was actually her biological father?
Three people, three little inner theaters, quietly released simultaneously.
In order to make them feel more comfortable, Su Nian made the excuse that she was full and wanted to go shopping in the nearby mall, and told them to just call her when they left.
Chen Ran immediately took out a card and handed it over: "Use...uncle's card to buy it."
Su Nian was stunned. What was this stepfather doing? Did he need to be so overbearing?
She came to her senses and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, thank you Uncle Chen."
Chen Ran subconsciously looked at Su Hong. Su Hong coughed lightly and said, "She has money, she doesn't need you to give it to her." But she was thinking in her heart: How can I be so anxious? I don't want to scare the child.
As the two repeatedly reminded him to "be careful", Su Nian walked out and passed by the cashier, where he was told that the bill had already been paid.
Tsk, thoughtful, reliable, and generous! Stepfather's favorability +10086!
She wandered aimlessly along the street, her steps slow and light, but her mind was still lingering on the subtle atmosphere at the dinner table just now.
When passing by a western restaurant, she glanced inside inadvertently, but her steps suddenly stopped - the figure in the glass window was so clear that it was almost dazzling.
Si Yan wore the same dark grey shirt he'd worn this morning, his elbows resting casually on the edge of the table. The lines of his face appeared especially soft under the warm yellow light.
The girl opposite him had a neat ponytail and was carefully cutting the steak with her head down, occasionally looking up to talk to him.
Si Yan nodded slightly in response. Although his expression was not very warm, he did not have the aloofness he usually showed when dealing with outsiders.
There was no intimacy, no excessive conversation, and even the rarest eye contact. But Su Nian felt as if her heartbeat had been slightly tripped, suddenly disrupting its rhythm.
She knew clearly that she shouldn't care, but her eyes were like being attracted by a magnet, firmly glued to the clear glass window, unable to move away.
She had seen Si Yan's gentleness and patience during his consultations, his calm and casual demeanor with his childhood friend, even seen him occasionally show signs of fatigue, but she had never seen him like this—quietly accompanying a girl, his aura softening. It was a kind of relaxation she had never experienced before, so unfamiliar that it made her heart tighten.
At this moment, Si Yan seemed to have noticed something and his eyes inadvertently glanced out the window.
Su Nian's heart skipped a beat, and almost instinctively he quickly turned sideways and hid behind a tree.
He stole a peek in the wind: the girl pushed the cut steak to him, but he didn't eat it. He just looked up at the girl...
Wait, isn't today Friday? Didn't he say the research group was having a dinner together?! So... it's a date? Is it the girl Fei'er mentioned crying for him a few days ago?
So every Friday before... did they have dinner like this?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Nian felt his throat tighten.
She turned around abruptly and ran away quickly, her steps staggering and a little flustered.
"Don't let your imagination run wild, don't let your imagination run wild..." She brainwashed herself crazily.
But the inexplicable and inexplicable feeling in my heart surged over me like a tide, densely blocking my chest and I couldn't suppress it no matter what I did.
Her interest in shopping had long since disappeared. The road under her feet suddenly became unfamiliar, and she was even a little confused about which direction to go.
