After being dumped, I turned around and married my ex-boyfriend's younger brother.

Chapter 180 Rare

"But if someone is willing to stay with me, even if they're bald, I'd be happy to."

Gu Yanli touched Su Yiran's face, took her hand and walked into the elevator, his gaze falling on the box in her hand, "What is this?"

"Don't move, this is mine."

Seeing the man's hand reach for her candy, Su Yiran immediately hid behind her back.

"Yiyi..."

Gu Yanli pursed his lips tightly, "Is what Sheng Jiahe gave you so precious that I can't even touch it?"

"That's called rare."

Su Yiran met the man's sullen gaze, smiled, took a candy from the box, and brought it to his lips, "Try it."

Gu Yanli glanced at her hand, took two steps back, and refused, "I won't eat anything given by another man; who knows what might be mixed in with it."

"Nonsense, it's just a piece of candy, how could it poison you? You're just narrow-minded. If you don't want it, I'll eat it myself."

Su Yiran grunted and stuffed the candy into her mouth. "Yes, that's the taste. I used to love eating this candy when I was little. There were candies like this sold in the market back then, but they all lacked flavor. I still prefer the handmade ones."

"...Shall I try some?"

"..."

Su Yiran looked up, clutching the candy to her chest, "I won't give it to you anymore."

You didn't want it when it was offered, but now you want it? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The elevator doors opened, and Su Yiran ran back to her office.

"You slow down!"

Gu Yanli watched her skipping and hopping figure, genuinely worried that she might bump into something.

As soon as Su Yiran returned to her office, she saw pastries and snacks on the table, filling the entire space with a rich aroma.

"Aren't you a germaphobe? Why do you keep something with such a strong smell in the office?"

"Try it."

"Is this all for me?"

Su Yiran wondered if she had misheard. "Didn't you used to forbid me from eating food with heavy oil fumes from outside? Have you changed your mind today?"

"If I tell you not to eat, will you obediently listen to me?"

He knew Su Yiran's temperament all too well. She agreed readily on the surface, but then turned her back on his words and went about her eating and drinking as usual.

"Who said that? I'm very obedient."

Su Yiran sat down and started eating by herself. "Mmm...delicious, Ayan, I wish I could eat this every day."

"It's okay to satisfy your cravings, but don't overdo it."

Gu Yanli wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth with a tissue. "Since it's so delicious, can we exchange this whole table for a piece of candy?"

"..."

Su Yiran turned her head and looked at Gu Yanli. She took two candies from the box and handed them to him. "This is a reward for you. You're welcome."

Gu Yanli didn't understand, "Why are you giving me two candies?"

"One is to thank you for preparing this delicious meal for me, and the other is a reward for not getting angry downstairs earlier."

Sheng Jiahe suddenly ruffled her hair, and Gu Yanli remained silent after seeing this, which surprised her.

"This reward is definitely not too lenient."

Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow, "A Samoyed that's possessive of its food?"

"what?"

Su Yiran seemed to have heard something and turned to look at him. "Are you calling me? My Samoyed that's possessive of its food?"

"Isn't it?"

"...Then you're a vengeful husky!"

"Look at this, who really holds a grudge the most?"

"It's not me anyway."

……

Madam Lan has returned.

He chatted with Su Yiran for a long time, asking her everything from Santorini to Haishi, what happened, what she did, and whether she had fun.

Madam Lan also brought Su Yiran a gift, a diamond necklace called "Moonlight".

"Don't move, I'll put it on you."

Madam Lan carefully put it around her neck, adjusted it slightly, and nodded in satisfaction, "My Yiyi is beautiful, she looks good in anything."

"thanks Mom."

Su Yiran smiled at Madam Lan, glanced in the direction of the study, and whispered, "If Ayan sees this, he'll say you're biased towards me again."

“I like Yi Yi, and I’m happy to. He’s just too idle. Let’s ignore him. There’s a banquet tomorrow, and you’ll come with me.”

"it is good."

However, Gu Yanli was sometimes right. Every time Madam Lan returned from going out, she would bring her gifts, clothes, jewelry, and everything else, while he only had one shirt, which he bought casually.

It's normal for him to have opinions.

If it were her, she would have even stronger objections.

late at night.

After finishing his official business, Gu Yanli returned to his room, took a shower, and gently lay down on the bed, only to find that the person next to him was still awake.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

The man pulled her into his arms and whispered, "What time is it? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Su Yiran shook her head. "What do you think is the relationship between Uncle Zhong and Federer?"

In the darkness, the man's expression froze for a moment. He lowered his eyes and ruffled her long hair. "Why are you suddenly asking that?"

"Uncle Zhong isn't at the hospital, don't hide it from me."

Su Yiran said, "He's with Federer right now, isn't he?"

Gu Yanli was silent for a moment, then turned on the bedside lamp, his deep eyes falling on Su Yiran. "You know? Sheng Jiahe told you?"

"Not really."

Su Yiran shook her head, "You're not a heavy drinker. You came back drunk that day and developed acute gastroenteritis. You just didn't want me to go to P City."

Gu Yanli's face turned pale. "You...are you angry?"

"I'm really unhappy."

"I...I had no choice at the time..."

"But you just don't want me to worry, though your method really shows you don't take your health seriously."

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Gu Yanli buried his head in Su Yiran's arms. "Federer's father also took a liking to that project proposal back then, so the two of them had been in contact for more than ten years. However, the project didn't work out, and the two of them developed a grudge. Your Uncle Zhong tricked Federer's father, which led to what happened some time ago."

"Is Federer avenging his father?"

Su Yiran asked, "If that's the case, then now that Uncle Zhong is in his hands, doesn't that mean..."

"Not necessarily. If he has leverage, things will be different."

"why?"

“Federal has never been on good terms with his father. Back then, the man surnamed Zhong received a lot of benefits from his father. They weren’t considered anything special at the time, but now, if used properly, they can become a fortune.”

“Once Uncle Zhong’s value has been completely exploited, Federico may not let him go.”

"That's not something you should worry about."

Gu Yanli looked up at her. "I have never approved of you going to see him. You are the most easily swayed by emotions. What he said to you was half true and half false. How simple can it be that he was able to get benefits from Federer's father?"

"..."

Su Yiran remained silent.

"I didn't want to tell you all this... Okay, it's late, you should rest."

Gu Yanli turned off the bedside lamp.

"Good night."
