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

Chapter 179 Willing to Give Up?

Gu Yanli asked Su Yiran to sit on the sofa. He turned around and poured her a glass of warm water. Looking at her flushed face, he said, "You ran so fast, look, your face is all red."

Su Yiran looked at the man and said, "I received a call from Federer this afternoon. I felt uneasy because only a few people know my phone number. I haven't seen my mother in a long time, and I'm afraid that Federer might harm her. I called you, but you didn't answer, and I was worried."

Gu Yanli was taken aback, glanced at his phone, and then turned it off.

"Sorry, my phone is dead, but don't worry about Mom. Federer's reach isn't there yet."

"Then why would he suddenly call me?"

Su Yiran gripped Gu Yanli's clothes tightly, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"..." Gu Yanli pursed his lips tightly. "Don't worry, I'll arrange everything. Yiyi, trust me, okay?"

Su Yiran met the man's gaze, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she bit her lip tightly, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded.

"it is good."

"gentlemen."

Chen Lie came in from outside and saw this scene. He subconsciously turned around and said, "Excuse me."

Su Yiran looked away and released his clothes. "You go ahead and do your work."

"..."

Gu Yanli leaned down and sealed her lips with his.

"Wait here for me. I've had some of your favorite food prepared and will bring it over in a bit."

"it is good."

Su Yiran nodded.

Chen Lie had indeed come to see Gu Yanli urgently, and the two left the office.

She watched their retreating figures and took a deep breath.

No sooner had Gu Yanli left than the female assistant outside knocked on the door and came in, "Madam, the front desk says a Mr. Sheng is looking for you."

"Mr. Sheng?"

Su Yiran was puzzled. She had someone in mind, but wasn't sure, so she went down to take a look.

First floor.

"Sir, please wait a moment while you have your water."

The receptionist poured Sheng Jiahe a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Sheng Jiahe had just taken the water cup when he saw a figure coming out of the elevator.

He immediately stood up and looked at her.

Su Yiran looked up, and their eyes met.

"You were shocked to see me?"

Sheng Jiahe was the first to break the silence.

"They just said a Mr. Sheng was looking for me, I guessed it was you."

Su Yiran said, "There's a coffee shop outside, shall we go sit down for a bit?"

"No need. If Mr. Gu finds out later, he might misunderstand. Is it alright to do it here?"

Sheng Jiahe asked her, "Besides, you're pregnant now, so you should be even more careful."

"You know it too?"

Su Yiran was surprised. "There's a small conference room in the back. Let's go in and talk."

"it is good."

Gu Yanli received the news the moment Sheng Jiahe appeared at the Gu Group.

"The receptionist said they were looking for Madam. Should I have someone send her away?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "No need."

"……Yes."

Chen Lie turned around and went out to return a phone call.

The man in the meeting room had a stern face the whole time; he wasn't exactly angry, but he wasn't exactly in a good mood either.

Only the display knew the reason.

Gu Yanli ended the meeting early and got up to leave the conference room.

"What do you think, Madam, about having those prepared?"

Chen Lie followed behind him, saying, "Madam hasn't eaten yet...she's still downstairs."

Gu Yanli frowned and turned directly into the elevator.

"Sir, I..."

The elevator went down before the display even went up.

"No need to follow."

The moment the door closed, Gu Yanli said coldly.

In a small conference room.

"...I have to thank you for your help last time in France."

Su Yiran looked at Sheng Jiahe, "Did Mr. Gu do anything to you afterwards?"

Sheng Jiahe met her gaze and smiled, "No... do you believe me?"

"what?"

"If he really couldn't do anything, you probably wouldn't believe it. But it wasn't a big deal, just a warning... To be honest, it was the first time I'd ever seen someone so calm and composed, not even trying to hide his anxiety. Later I found out you were pregnant. If I had known you were pregnant then, I wouldn't have let you go back alone."

"I acted on impulse."

"For a man surnamed Zhong?"

"……you know?"

Su Yiran looked at him.

"Know something."

Sheng Jiahe said, "But he has close ties with the people in the French underground city, you know that?"

"……how do you know?"

“I ran into you by chance a couple of days ago. I don’t know why, so I came to ask you. But judging from your expression, you probably know.”

Su Yiran frowned. "You saw him? Where did you see him?"

"Didn't Gu Yanli tell you?"

"..."

"P City".

……

"It's getting late. My flight is in an hour. I hope I can see my uncle next time I come to Kyoto."

"it is good."

Sheng Jiahe got up to leave, but when she turned around she saw Gu Yanli behind her. She stopped and smiled, "Oh right, there's something I forgot."

He took a box of candy out of his bag and handed it to her. "This is something I used to eat a lot when I was little. You can't find it in stores anymore. I hope you can still remember the taste."

"This is...you still remember."

Su Yiran took it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"This thing must be hard to find."

“I went back to my hometown a while ago and ran into that chef, so I asked him to make me a serving myself.”

“I remember him. When you were little, you often went to his house to cause trouble and his dog would chase you all over the alley, tearing your pants.”

"You remember things from your childhood so clearly."

As Sheng Jiahe spoke, he reached out and touched her hair. "Let's go."

"I……"

This is for you.

Su Yiran spoke subconsciously, but as she looked up, she met Gu Yanli's gaze from outside, and then looked at the smile on Sheng Jiahe's lips.

"you do this delibrately!"

She lowered her voice.

"Being able to anger Gu Yanli is quite an achievement. If I put that on my resume, wouldn't it be a big plus?"

I think you'll be blacklisted.

What a joke! How could I possibly tolerate someone talking behind Yanli's back, given his petty nature?

It's still this kind of thing.

"Then Yi Ran still has to protect me... I'm leaving."

Sheng Jiahe turned and left, his smile widening as he passed Gu Yanli, even more pronounced than usual.

Gu Yanli pursed his lips, his expression unchanged, but his clenched fists betrayed his composure.

"Didn't you have something to do? Why did you come down?"

Su Yiran stood in front of the man, "When did you come down?"

Gu Yanli's gaze fell on her long hair. "I think Madam looks great with short hair too. How about trying a new style?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Su Yiran raised an eyebrow. "How can you be so petty? He just touched me... If you dare to touch my hair, I'll shave your head bald, a bald head that reflects light."

"Is Yiyi willing to part with it?"
