Chapter 145: The straight man gets it, and the effect is amazing!
Chen Ran picked up the report on the table and flipped through it again. His fingertips traced over the slightly immature yet powerful words. The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, and he thought to himself, "The sapling is finally growing on its own. I just wonder if it can withstand the storm of the executive meeting."
He was pleased and moved that his daughter was studying seriously step by step in her own way, and hoped that she could gain a foothold in this field as soon as possible.
What he can do is to give her the strongest support and the most appropriate guidance when she needs it - for example, "throwing" a small project for her to "play with" at the right time.
After get off work in the afternoon, when Si Yan came to pick her up, as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa waiting for him. She couldn't hide the smile on her lips, and even her eyes were shining with a little light. She was in such a good mood that she almost overflowed, and her whole body exuded the signal of "I'm great, praise me quickly."
After the passenger seat belt clicked into place, Si Yan smiled and asked what he had been speculating in his heart: "Did you submit the report? And you even got praised?"
Su Nian subconsciously touched his face: "Is it so obvious? Looks like I need to retake my expression management course!"
"Yeah, obviously." Si Yan started the car and turned the steering steadily. The little girl's happiness was written all over her face.
The car merged into the evening rush hour traffic, like a fish swimming towards home.
When she opened the door, the familiar smell of home hit her. Si Yan bent down and took out Su Nian's soft-soled slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at her feet.
"Go rest on the sofa and watch TV for a while?" he said while changing his shoes.
"I don't want to lie down. I'm not tired." Su Nian changed into slippers and followed him into the living room with brisk steps. "I want to supervise the chef's performance."
Si Yan swiftly took off his jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves, his forearms sleek and powerful. "Okay, please supervise the whole process, and be kind when you're grading."
In the open kitchen, Su Nian leaned over the counter with her chin in her hand, watching him tie the apron string neatly into a knot behind him, watching the water flow across his slender fingers, watching the crisp rhythm of the knife blade falling on the chopping board, and watching the oil dance happily in the pot.
Su Nian completely turned into a little fangirl, with a rosy face and a piercing gaze, and her inner barrage was madly scrolling across the screen:
——Look at this elegant hand, can holding a spatula be so sexy?
——Oh my god, this man is actually from my family, my family! Which god assigned this "high-end limited edition" husband to me?
——He is a great professor, a famous Chinese medicine doctor, tall, rich and handsome, and also a gold medal cook. Oh my god, he made money, he made money!
——She is really capable of both housework and cooking, and can write papers and cook!
She secretly curled up the corners of her mouth.
My heart is filled with a huge and stable happiness.
But then I thought, what if I go abroad to study and separate from him? Will this "high-quality husband ceiling" be stolen by someone else?
When Su Ran thought of this, her face instantly fell, as if she had already seen herself crying like a dog while hugging a pillow on the other side of the ocean.
Just then, "Ding Dong——" the doorbell rang crisply.
Su Nian was stunned for a moment. Who could it be at this hour? The property management? Someone checking the water meter?
Si Yan was busy cooking and said without even looking up, "Niannian, please help open the door. It might be the property management."
"Oh, okay." Su Nian responded, got down from the high stool, and walked towards the door in slippers.
She saw on the display screen a uniformed errand boy standing outside the door with a large bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Confused, she opened the door.
"Hello, are you Ms. Su Nian?" the young man asked politely.
"Ah, I am."
"Hello, please sign for your flowers."
The young man handed over the big bouquet of flowers.
Su Nian caught it subconsciously and was instantly embraced by the flourishing and gorgeous flowers in her arms.
It was an extremely beautiful mixed bouquet, dominated by gentle champagne roses and lavender hydrangeas, dotted with white lisianthus, emerald green eucalyptus leaves, and a few furry white flowers that she couldn't name. It had rich layers, high-end and fresh colors, and a fragrant aroma.
She held the flowers in her arms and even forgot to sign for them.
The errand boy reminded her again, and she hurriedly took the form and signed it.
Closing the door, she hugged the huge bouquet of flowers that almost drowned her, her heart pounding, and turned her head sharply to look at the kitchen.
Si Yan had turned off the fire at some point and was leaning against the kitchen door frame, a gentle and slightly complacent smile on his lips. He looked at her intently, his eyes filled with undisguised love and indulgence.
He hadn't taken off his apron yet, and his hands were still stained with a little bit of kitchen smoke.
"This... is your... handiwork, right?" Su Nian looked at the flowers, then at him, surprised and a little incoherent. "Chef Si's scope of business is very wide now. Not only does he take care of feeding people, but he also delivers flowers."
"This is my first time delivering flowers, and it's for my wife, Mrs. Si," Si Yan said, smiling as he approached and gently brushed a petal with his hand. "Besides your stomach, your eyes and your mood must also receive top-notch treatment."
Su Nian smiled and rubbed the petals. The melancholy of separation because of studying abroad had long melted in the fragrance. Now her mind was full of "this flower is so fragrant, this man is so amazing."
Si Yan suddenly took out an exquisite dark blue box from his apron pocket, and the ribbon glowed softly under the light.
"This is..." Her breath hitched slightly. No way, there's a sequel? Could it be a Surprise Plus version?!
He opened the box and found a Cartier bracelet lying quietly inside. It had a simple and beautiful shape and a warm and elegant metallic luster.
"Mrs. Si's career has been very successful, and she deserves the flowers that will pave her way," he said softly. "This bracelet is to thank you for your hard work in giving birth to our baby."
Su Nian stared blankly as he put the bracelet on her. The metal felt slightly cool, yet it felt like a warm current flowing from her wrist to her heart. When she looked up, her eyes were wet. She smiled and punched his shoulder. "Professor Si, you really... have to make me cry?"
He smiled and held her in his arms, kissing her hair gently and stroking the new bracelet on her wrist with his fingertips.
Su Nian lowered her head and buried her face in the fragrant and soft bouquet of flowers. The smile on the corner of her mouth grew bigger and bigger, and she couldn't suppress it anymore.
It turns out that in addition to the aforementioned advantages, he can also create surprises and romance.
——It really makes straight men wise up, and the effect is amazing!
"Thank you..." Her voice came out from between the flowers, with a strong nasal tone and a sense of happiness, "Honey, I love it!"
Si Yan stretched out his hand, embraced her and the flowers in his arms, and gently kissed the top of her head.
"I'm glad you like it. I'll continue to work hard to do better in the future."
Si Yan was now speaking in a coherent manner, "Let's go put the flowers together first? This is the last dish, and we can eat soon."
Su Nian nodded vigorously, and holding her bouquet of flowers of love in her hand wearing a happiness bracelet, she went to look for a vase.
Si Yan was stir-frying the dishes in the wok and glanced at the little girl who was busy arranging flowers with a beaming face. The corners of his mouth almost rose to the back of his ears - as expected, no girl can resist the sweet attack of surprise and romance!
That day, the father-in-law felt that he was not careful enough about his daughter-in-law's maternity clothes, so he transferred money to the little girl without saying a word. This was a domineering move that taught him a lesson: love should not only be hidden in the heart, but also be shown!
Looking at this little girl in front of me who is still childish but is going to give birth to children for me, it must be very difficult for her to be pregnant for ten months.
Si Yan's heart softened, and he silently clenched the spatula: As a straight man, I have to work hard to become a warm and romantic man!
