Chapter 20 The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
Ye Jiuzhou had a very enjoyable meal. He cut the steak for Su Youran and placed it in front of her:
"Eat first, and talk after you're done. Now that you've all returned home, there'll be plenty of time to talk later."
He stared at Shao Zhizhao with eyes that seemed to poke a hole in him: "Mr. Shao, don't you think so?"
Shao Zhizhao lowered his head and took a sip of red wine:
"Mr. Ye is right. Look at me. I was so happy to see my junior sister that I forgot myself for a moment."
Su Youran smiled and waved her hand:
"I am also very happy to meet my senior brother. It is rare for someone to talk to me about these things since I returned to China."
She looked a little disappointed:
"When I'm abroad, I miss my family and I miss the time I had abroad and my friends. We are so far apart, I guess it will be hard to see them again."
Shao Zhizhao raised his glass: "Cheers to those friends."
Su Youran gave him a gentle nudge: “Cheers.”
Shao Zhizhao suddenly asked Ye Jiuzhou on the side:
"What do you usually talk about with Mr. Ye? About your major or about literature?"
He looked at Su Youran with a hint of sarcasm, “I’ve read the love poem, too. It’s really well written.”
Su Youran was a little embarrassed: "Brother, even you are making fun of me!"
Shao Zhizhao laughed loudly:
"No, no, how could it be a joke? To be honest, I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so talented in writing. I remember that you loved reading prose and poetry back then. You must have a lot of common topics, right?"
Ye Jiuzhou tightened his grip on the knife and fork. What did this mean? Was he reminding Ranran that he and she were not the same kind of people?
Are you mocking him for not understanding their profession and not being able to communicate with Ranran?
Ye Jiuzhou curled his lips coldly:
"Mr. Shao is right. Ranran and I have a lot in common. We have the same ideals and beliefs. We understand and support each other. There is no better match than us."
Su Youran blushed slightly and tugged at his sleeve. “Why are you saying this?”
Ye Jiuzhou tucked the hair that had touched her face behind her ears, his movements were intimate and gentle:
"Mr. Shao is your senior brother, which is no different from a half-brother. There is no need to be polite with him. Just say whatever you want to say."
He looked back at Shao Zhizhao, who looked a little unnatural:
"Ranran and I have been engaged since we were young. She is my fiancée and will be my wife and the mother of my children in the future. Although I have not participated in her life for nearly twenty years, I believe that I will always be by her side no matter how many twenty years there are in the future."
Ye Jiuzhou raised his glass and gestured to Shao Zhizhao:
"Thank you Mr. Shao for taking care of my fiancée before. Don't worry, I will be there for you in the future."
Get out of here as soon as possible, it's none of your business now!
Shao Zhizhao froze for a moment, but finally raised the cup, slightly raised it, and then drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the empty wine glass, Shao Zhizhao stood up and said embarrassedly: "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
Su Youran watched Shao Zhizhao walk away with worry, then turned around and glared at Ye Jiuzhou:
"What did you mean by that? What wife, what child? You haven't even started yet, and you're already thinking so far ahead!"
Ye Jiuzhou drank several glasses of wine without realizing it. He leaned in front of Su Youran, and his breath was a little tipsy:
"I'm telling the truth. You are my future wife and the mother of my children!"
Su Youran pushed his face and said, “Shame on you!”
Ye Jiuzhou moved forward again:
"If you don't have face, you won't be able to marry a wife. What's the point of having face? It's lost, it's lost!"
Su Youran couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How can there be someone like you!"
Ye Jiuzhou quickly pecked her on the lips, then immediately stepped away before she got angry, propping up his head with his hands, looking drunk:
"Oh, why do I feel so dizzy? Am I drunk?"
Su Youran was both angry and amused. She slapped his arm heavily and said, “Keep pretending! Keep pretending!”
Ye Jiuzhou rested his head on Su Youran’s shoulder as if he was dizzy.
"I feel so dizzy, let me lean on you, or I'm going to fall down."
"Hurry up, there are so many people here, what a mess!"
Ye Jiuzhou just couldn't get up from her. He was just full of anger, and at the same time, a trace of panic rose in his heart.
Shao Zhizhao was actually right. He and Ranran lacked common topics.
Their life experiences are completely different, and their thoughts and approaches to doing things are also different.
We are still in the "honeymoon period" and no conflicts or problems have emerged. But what if we wait a little longer?
Would Ranran think he was boring? Would she feel that he knew too little and could not communicate with her?
Will she think he is too rude, unromantic, and unable to please her?
Ye Jiuzhou could not express his fear and panic in words and could only keep it in his heart.
During the meal, except for Su Youran, the other two felt a little indigestion.
Shao Zhizhao took the lead in saying goodbye: "Junior sister, I still have to go back to the hospital. I'm leaving first?"
Su Youran supported Ye Jiuzhou, who seemed to be quite drunk, and looked at Shao Zhizhao apologetically:
"Brother, I'm sorry for today. He might have drunk a little too much. If anything he said was inappropriate, please don't take it personally."
Shao Zhizhao's eyes dimmed for a moment. You Ran's words actually linked Ye Jiuzhou and her together. They were family and he was the outsider.
He forced a smile:
"It's okay. We had a pleasant conversation today. There's nothing inappropriate. I'm already very happy to see my junior sister."
Shao Zhizhao glanced at Ye Jiuzhou who had his eyes slightly closed: "Do you need me to take you there?"
Su Youran quickly shook her head:
"I'll just call a rickshaw. The car will stop here first, and I'll ask someone to drive it back later."
Shao Zhizhao knew that Ye Jiuzhou was probably pretending, so he didn't insist and waved to Su Youran:
"Goodbye then, Junior Sister. I hope to see you in Boya soon."
"Yes, bye, brother."
Su Youran smiled brightly. When Shao Zhizhao was no longer visible, she pinched Ye Jiuzhou's waist fiercely:
"Still pretending? Everyone's gone! Hurry up and get up, it's so heavy!"
Ye Jiuzhou straightened up slightly, still looking a little languid: "Of course, I am really a little dizzy, I want to sleep for a while."
“Who told you to drink so much?” Su Youran slapped him angrily and waved at a nearby rickshaw: “Let’s go to the Su Mansion.”
The two got into the car together, Ye Jiuzhou still leaned against her and muttered:
"Who told you to chat so happily with him? I couldn't even get a word in, you don't know how miserable I was... I also wanted to meet you so early..."
Su Youran looked at him without saying anything, but she didn’t try to push him away again.
Ye Jiuzhou curled his lips implicitly, it turned out that it was necessary to show weakness appropriately.
When the two returned to the Su Mansion, it was quiet. The masters all had the habit of taking a nap, so the servants did everything very quietly.
Su Youran took the key out of Ye Jiuzhou's pants pocket and handed it to a servant, instructing him:
"The car is parked in front of the department store. Ask Mr. Lin to drive it back later. We need it this afternoon."
The servant quickly agreed.
Su Youran helped Ye Jiuzhou up to the second floor and opened the door to the guest room. There was someone cleaning the room every day, so you could move in anytime.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Jiuzhou, who had just looked dizzy, immediately became lively again. He picked up Su Youran, walked a few steps to the bed and put her down, then he pressed on her.
Su Youran put her hands on him, looking unhappy. “Didn’t you say you were going to faint?”
Ye Jiuzhou held her lips and said vaguely: "Of course, I am being hypnotized by you every moment."
Su Youran was amused by the sudden "earthy love talk" and laughed. As soon as her teeth opened, Ye Jiuzhou took advantage of the situation and went straight in, wrapping his tongue around hers and refusing to let go.
Su Youran clung to his shoulders and tilted her head back to bear the pressure. For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of their lips blending together.
After a while, she came to her senses and tilted her head slightly to avoid Ye Jiuzhou's lips, her voice a little hoarse:
"Okay... Otherwise there will be another mark... Mom will have to get up soon..."
Ye Jiuzhou went over and grabbed it again: "It's still early..."
The two of them dodged each other and rolled into a ball. Ye Jiuzhou stood up suddenly and took a few deep breaths:
“It’s really killing me!”
How long will this last? He wants to get married right away!
Su Youran picked up a pillow and threw it at Ye Jiuzhou's face:
"Who told you to mess around all the time!"
Ye Jiuzhou took the pillow, threw it aside, hugged her again, and sighed in her ear:
"Who should I say to you? You are always so attractive!"
Su Youran snorted, “Let go quickly, it’s so tight.”
Ye Jiuzhou took the quilt that was rolled aside and covered them with it: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Come sleep with me for a while."
Su Youran was also a little sleepy, but she didn’t want to sleep here. “What if mom sees me? I want to go back to my room.”
Ye Jiuzhou patted her back gently, like coaxing a child to sleep:
"Don't worry, I've asked around. Aunt Wu probably just went to bed not long ago. She won't get up for two hours. Just go to sleep. I'll call you when it's almost time."
Su Youran raised her eyes to look at him. "Why are you asking about this?"
Ye Jiuzhou pecked her lips lightly:
"Of course I have to find out about my mother-in-law's daily routine, so that I can... steal her love like I am doing now."
Su Youran was defeated by his rogue spirit: “You! Where’s the cool and domineering attitude you had when we first met?”
"How can I stay cold when I see you?" Ye Jiuzhou kissed her again: "Don't you want to sleep? Then I have to continue doing something..."
Su Youran bit him in anger. Ye Jiuzhou’s body instantly tensed up like a string, and veins on his hands were about to pop out. He held her tightly and said in a suppressed voice:
"It seems that my Ranran really doesn't want to sleep..."
