Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

Xiang Ran is the figure sitting on the magnolia tree in the painting.

Because she did not attend the exchange activity on the last afternoon.

-

That afternoon, she left school, climbed a tree on the hillside behind the mountain, and looked into the distance.

The mountains in my hometown are connected one after another.

Even if she sat on a big tree and stretched her neck, she could not see the plain outside the mountain.

At that time, Xiang Ran's heart was filled with resentment and disappointment.

She was even full of attacks on herself, hating her accent in Mandarin and her poor English, which made the older brother who was studying abroad laugh at her.

Of course, she didn't know who the older brother was at that time.

I just think that his eyes outside the mask are as beautiful as obsidian.

Outside the black mask is a forehead as white as mutton-fat jade.

He is whiter than any boy in County C.

But she could feel the contempt he showed even through the mask...

That day, she lost her temper and knocked down the blooming purple magnolia on the tree with a stick.

Fallen petals are all over the ground.

At that time, Xiang Ran was still too young to read those classic and great books.

She didn't meet a teacher who could enlighten her.

She even thought pessimistically that she felt like these flowers.

No matter how beautiful the flowers in the mountains bloom, they will remain unknown in the mountains forever.

In short, she could not have imagined that she would be in such a situation today.

"What—" Sheng Yang's mouth felt numb and tingling from being held by her hand, so he simply kissed her palm. "Does Miss Su need to hold her husband's chin in order to appreciate a painting?"

"No." Xiang Ran took his hand away.

"Give me a score?"

"59!" Xiang Ran said with a smile.

"What? Failed?" Sheng Yang smiled bitterly, "Not really, right?"

Xiang Ran nodded: "The full score is 60."

"Excuse me, Madam, where was this point deducted?" Sheng Yang asked.

"This back." Xiang Ran pointed at the back of the person on the tree and said.

"What's wrong with this back?"

Xiang Ran smiled and said, "Because you didn't draw the front, the front must be more beautiful!"

Sheng Yang asked, "Can you tell that the figure behind her is a girl?"

In fact, the back figure in the composition is very small and very blurry.

"My guess."

Sheng Yang was stunned: "Yiqing, your intuition is amazing!"

Xiang Ran saw a line of small pencil words in the lower right corner of the painting - "Hope of Mangnolia"

She read it out loud.

"Sheng Yang, did you write this too?"

"Ah."

"So, this painting appears to be about mountains, because the mountains account for six-tenths, the magnolias account for three-tenths, and the people only account for one-tenth. But in fact, only the people have hope. So what you want to express is that back figure—she has hope, right?"

Sheng Yang turned her face towards him: "You can understand this painting, right?

Xiang Ran nodded: "Because - she is looking out of the mountains."

"It's incredible!" Sheng Yang kissed her forehead. "No one has ever looked at this painting carefully, nor has anyone commented on it in such a way that resonates with my feelings. Most people wouldn't even notice that there's a figure's back hidden in the painting."

There's nothing incredible about it; she's just a person in the painting.

What is incredible is the coincidences between the two.

Somehow, they had been entangled for a long time.

Can the "quantum entanglement" mentioned by experts on Douyin now explain her past and present with Sheng Yang?

-

After leaving No. 107 Sheng's house, Sheng Yang did not drive.

The two walked to Lake A Bay not far from here.

There are many villas here and the scenery is beautiful.

The tree-lined avenue in early autumn is particularly beautiful. I don’t know what kind of trees are planted on both sides. The leaves on the top have turned red, while the leaves below are still green.

Xiang Ran couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of tree is this? It's so beautiful! There are many such trees on both sides of the highway."

Sheng Yang reached out and picked a leaf: "This is a Luan tree."

"Luan tree? So this is the Luan tree. Is there also a tree of this kind planted at Jinxiu Villa? The day before yesterday I saw the name of this tree on the newly purchased saplings handed over by the workers."

"Ah."

"Like it?"

"good."

Sheng Yang was in a good mood today. He stroked her hand and said, "Just ask someone to buy you whatever you like. You don't need to ask for my opinion. You can make the decision on these matters yourself. From now on, all the household expenses will be borne by you. I'll talk to Xiao Fu about it."

Xiang Ran was stunned and said quickly, "Let's talk about it later. I don't really like managing money. Besides, I think Xiaofu is a very capable person."

This is a lie, she loves money like her life.

But she is only the temporary "Mrs. Sheng". If Sheng Yang hands over all the financial power and household affairs to her, it will increase her workload in the future when handing over to Su Yiqing.

When Sheng Yang heard her say this, he thought that she was used to being comfortable in the Su family and didn't like to worry.

Don't force her.

He only said, "Then let's put it off for a while and let Madam share my worries."

Xiang Ran added: "Anyway, if I want to buy something and don't have enough money, I can just ask my husband for it."

"Of course. Everyone says Miss Su loves to spend money, but I haven't seen you buy anything. Are you afraid the servants will see and tell Mother or Grandpa?"

Xiang Ran was unconvinced. "You're the CEO of a major company, so why are you as fond of hearsay as the common people? If I believed the rumors as much as you do, then you wouldn't know what kind of rumors people would spread about you."

"Oh, tell me—what did the outside world say about me?"

"Well, let's not talk about this."

"It's okay, tell me."

Xiang Ran shrugged: "Just say you have a problem in that area."

"What's the problem? What's the problem?"

"They say you're gay. After all, your cousin is a celebrity in England. People spread rumors, and some even said you don't like touching women."

"Oh, about this." He laughed. "You should have checked whether I can do it. As for the rest, let's quickly give birth to a baby to shut those people up!"

These words scared Xiang Ran.

They had sex three times in total, without using a condom.

She just took the birth control pill yesterday, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Because she had no experience in this area, she didn't let Sheng Yang wear a condom.

It seems that Sheng Yang wanted her to get pregnant naturally, so he didn't take any proactive measures.

But she realized it too late and only remembered to use emergency contraception afterwards.

But now that things have come to this, Xiang Ran feels it necessary to talk to Sheng Yang.

"Hubby, I don't think there's a rush to have children. After all—I feel like I'm not grown up yet!" Xiang Ran tugged at his sleeve, "At least let's not think about it this year, okay?"

Sheng Yang remembered his mother and grandfather's words of urging him to have a baby, and said calmly, "Okay."
