Translator: Vicky_ Editor: Vicky_

In the car, Su Yicheng turned up the music and played a soothing piano song. The disc was given to him by Yijiao. Youran Cuisine always changed the music after a little while, so there were a lot of spare discs that Yijiao would then give to him. He usually rarely listened to music, but seeing that someone seemed to be in a particularly bad mood today, he decided to play some music to lighten up the mood.

“Anran.” Su Yiying focused on driving while whispering to her.

Anran turned her head, looked at him, and waited for him to continue speaking.

Su Yicheng didn’t continue immediately and parked the car in front of a nutrition store. He turned off the engine, then turned to Anran and said, “Let’s go and buy something.”

“Buy what?” Anran was confused.

Su Yicheng didn’t answer. He opened the door and got out of the car, then walked around to open the door on Anran’s side and smiled at her with his hands extended toward her. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Anran’s face turned slightly red, and she thought about how, from the moment she met him till now, although it had only been a short while, she had already ridden in this car many times already. Yet he always opened the door for her whenever she got in or got out of the car, and this made her feel a little embarrassed.

Although she was embarrassed, nonetheless, Anran blushed and placed her hands in his palm. Looking up at the store in front of them, she turned her head and asked him, “Do you plan on buying nutritional products?”

Su Yicheng nodded and smiled. “Tonight is my first official visit to your house, so how can I go empty-handed?”

“Uh, actually, my parents don’t care about stuff like that.” What they cared about most was whether or not she was happy. This was something she had always known.

“Well, I know your parents aren’t that kind of people, but there are some things I should do as common courtesy, and I do want to make the best impression on them as well.” Su Yicheng took her hand and walked in while saying, “Actually, I bought these because I want the two of them to be in their best health. Perhaps they were just your parents before, but now they are also my parents, so I also need to express concern over their health and care for them as well.”

Anran was a little moved and turned her head to look at his side profile. This man’s dedication put her to shame. She was suddenly grateful that he was the one she married, not Lin Anjie from before, or the star-crossed Mu Feng. She didn’t know whether or not they would marry in the future, or how he would treat her in the future, but she was grateful that he could respect and care about her parents.

......

Su Yicheng noticed her gaze, so he stopped and turned around to look at her. He asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Anran shook her head, then smiled as she turned around without looking at him and said, “My mother’s blood sugar is a little high, and my dad has high blood pressure.”

Su Yicheng smirked. “Then I know what to buy.” He held her hands as he reached for the store shelves to grab a few boxes of products for blood sugar and hypertension and took two of each. Then, he went to another shelf to grab more products that treated diabetes and he took those to the cashier.

Anran looked at the big box and small box in his hand and said quickly, “Why do you plan on buying so much? One is enough. And this one: I watched TV commercials that said this product treated diabetes. My parents don’t have diabetes, so don’t use this. ”

“Yes, I know. This one is for Grandpa,” Su Yicheng answered with a smile.

“Grandpa...” Anran reacted slowly, and it took her quite a while to understand that the grandpa he was referring to was her own grandpa. She blushed slightly and stretched out her hand to grab the stuff from his hands, saying, “Then, I’ll pay for this.” If he had to be filial, then so did she, and, according to etiquette, she should be the one paying.

Su Yicheng simply laughed and let her carry it without saying a word.

When she arrived at the cash register, the cashier asked if she wanted both of their purchases to be counted together. Before she had the chance to reply, Su Yicheng had already grabbed the health care products from her hands, handed the cash register his card, and nodded. “Count them together.”

After putting the health care products in the back seat of the car, then returning to the driver’s seat, Su Yicheng started the engine and was preparing to leave. Anran took out a few wads of cash from her wallet, then handed them to him. She stared straight at him without speaking.

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows in amusement and asked, “Why?”

“We agreed that I will be buying mine.” She was referring to the supplements that were bought for his parents and grandpa.

Su Yicheng looked at the stubborn look on her face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth widened. He reached out, but instead of receiving the wads of cash in her hand, he wrapped her little hands tightly inside his, then put her hands on his lap and looked her in the eye while asking, “Anran, do you always have to draw such clear lines with others?”

Anran didn’t quite understand the meaning of his words and simply frowned at him.

Su Yicheng chuckled, played with her little hands, then looked up and asked, “Anran, what is our relationship?”

Anran blushed slightly, but this time she didn’t avoid the topic, keeping her eyes downcast as she replied in a low voice, “Married couple.” 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

“Yes, you are my wife and I am your husband, so why does there need to be such clear lines between us?” Su Yicheng asked again.

“But I-I also want to express filial piety toward my in-laws. Otherwise, what will I be, then?” Anran said, and her tone and expression conveyed her uneasiness. She was an appreciative and grateful person. If he treated her parents so well, she would naturally return the favor to his loved ones.

“Filial piety is not determined by who buys the things or who pays for them. The important thing that matters is the desire. The desire to convey filial piety is the most significant aspect. Materialistic things have no emotion. Humans are the ones with feelings. As long as you have the desire to convey filial piety, my parents and the other will naturally sense it. ”

“So then you—” Anran wanted to say something but was interrupted by him before she got the chance to finish.

“We are husband and wife. I am your husband. It is only natural for me to be the one spending money and supporting the family. There shouldn’t be such clear distinctions between ‘you’ and ‘I’ now, should there?”

Anran stared at him for a long time, but in the end, she had nothing to say. He had effectively blocked out all of her excuses, so what else could she say? Furthermore, she knew that she was no match against his silver-tongue, so all she could do was put the money back into her wallet. Although she was dissatisfied, all she could do was simply mutter aloud, “It’s basically patriarchy.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yicheng burst out laughing, but said nothing further in his own defense and drove the car in the direction of the Gu family’s residence.
