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

Chapter 59 Get Up and Sleep Again

night.

Su Yiran watched the man fiddling around in the kitchen, and her head started twitching.

What was she thinking that made him cook?

To be honest, her cooking skills aren't very good; she's just good enough to cook something that's edible.

Gu Yanli spent a long time in the kitchen, but only managed to make a pot of soup.

He was also worried that his cooking skills might actually send someone to the hospital.

The table was full of dishes, but only the soup was made by him.

"Mr. Gu is so perfunctory."

Su Yiran pouted, "You think you can just get rid of me with a bowl of soup?"

Gu Yanli smiled and ladled out the soup, handing it to her. "Try it."

"Are you asking me to test the poison first?"

Su Yiran looked at the soup in front of her, and tentatively took a sip. The soup was rich and flavorful, with a unique taste that was sweet and delicious.

If she hadn't seen him frantically trying to cook in the kitchen, she wouldn't have believed it was his first time.

Gu Yanli took in her expression. "So, is this soup still going to be perfunctory?"

"...Ayan is so confident in her cooking skills?"

So, is it delicious?

"It's alright... but we need to keep up the good work and strive to do even better."

Su Yiran lowered her head, couldn't help but take a few more sips of her drink, and then remembered something, "You still haven't told me what Ranran told you before?"

Gu Yanli smiled and said, "Guess."

"I won't guess."

If she doesn't want to say, then she doesn't have to. She can just ask her herself when the time comes.

Su Yiran gave Gu Yanli face and drank two full bowls of soup.

After dinner, she received a call from her mother, whose attitude had improved considerably. She even apologized to her, probably because of the tonics that Gu Yanli had sent through Chen Lie.

"It's getting late, please get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yiran wasn't particularly happy; her gaze fell on the box in the cabinet.

She walked over, pulled out the box, and rummaged through the small items inside, her eyes landing on a USB drive.

She recognized the USB drive; it was one her father used to use.

She found a computer, plugged in the USB drive, and found that it couldn't be read.

But that's not surprising; even the best things can break down over the past decade or so.

"what happened?"

Gu Yanli came out of the bathroom, looked at the dejected person sitting in front of the computer, and walked over.

Su Yiran looked at him with a wronged expression, "The USB drive is broken. It used to be my dad's, and it can't be used anymore."

Gu Yanli glanced at the USB drive in her hand, paused for a moment, then quickly said, "It's nothing, I'll have someone fix it."

Su Yiran did not notice Gu Yanli's fleeting unease and asked in surprise, "Is it okay? But it's been so long, I don't know if the things inside are still there."

"Doesn't Yiyi believe me?"

Gu Yanli reached out and shut down the computer, his gaze deep. He ruffled her hair, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.

With a slight effort, he lifted the person up and placed them on the bed. "It's getting late, time to sleep."

"..."

Su Yiran looked up and met the man so close to her. Her face flushed red, and she turned her head away, crawled into the other side of the quilt, covered her head, and turned her back to him.

Gu Yanli looked at her, one of her little feet still sticking out of the blanket, smiled gently, and pulled the blanket down to cover her feet.

Su Yiran's entire face was exposed when he pulled her like that.

"You disturbed my sleep. I was asleep and you woke me up."

Su Yiran looked at him with a wronged expression and sniffed.

"Then let's sleep again."

Gu Yanli lay down and held the person in his arms.

Almost every night, Su Yiran would fall asleep in Gu Yanli's arms, smelling his faint fragrance. However, sometimes when he was away on business and there was no one familiar around, she found it difficult to fall asleep.

It was as if they were possessed.

A man's voice came from above, "Aren't you sleepy? Why aren't you going to sleep?"

Su Yiran looked up and met his gaze. "Do you really like to sleep while hugging someone?"

"I only like holding you."

"..."

Su Yiran's heart suddenly started pounding. In the quiet room, she could clearly hear her heartbeat, which made her feel uneasy.

Fine, she deserved to ask that one more question.

however.

Su Yiran couldn't sleep.

Gu Yanli was asleep, and she could hear his steady breathing, each breath striking her heart, making her even more awake.

late at night.

Su Yiran had finally fallen asleep when a sound of footsteps outside woke her up again.

She opened her eyes and saw Gu Yanli come out wearing a robe.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Where are you going so late? What happened?"

Gu Yanli walked over and touched her face. "Arui has a high fever. I'm going to check on him. It's nothing serious. You can continue sleeping."

She woke up when she heard that she had a high fever.

Unable to sleep, she got up, put on a coat, and followed He Rui to his room.

The family doctor came and prescribed medicine, and the fever went down for a while, but it quickly went up again. It kept going back and forth, and there was no other way but to send him to the hospital for further examination.

The temperature at night was much lower than during the day, and with a heavy snowfall outside, Gu Yanli frowned as he looked at Su Yiran. "Don't go. Stay home and rest. I'll tell you if anything happens."

Su Yiran looked at Gu Yanli without saying anything, then turned and went back to her room.

Gu Yanli thought she had taken his words to heart, but as soon as he got into the car, he saw the bloated little man running out of it.

"A Yan..."

Su Yiran wrapped herself up tightly, only revealing her eyes.

Gu Yanli opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to refuse, and went to the hospital with them.

After a series of examinations, the doctor concluded that the patient was experiencing acclimatization issues.

Those who were taking care of He Rui said that he had a poor appetite and occasionally vomited and had diarrhea during this period.

Therefore, Gu Yanli lost his temper and replaced all the people. This was the first time Su Yiran had ever seen him lose his temper like this. She stood next to him and didn't dare to say a word.

He Rui had someone to take care of him. Gu Yanli asked someone to send Su Yiran back, but she was worried and refused to go back no matter what. She stayed at the hospital to take care of He Rui all night.

After treatment, He Rui's condition improved.

It was on this night that she learned how much pain He Rui had been in lately.

He had lived in France his entire life, and she should have noticed something was wrong with him when he suddenly returned.

But she didn't.

Having not slept all night, Su Yiran was exhausted.

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll have someone take you back."

"But I..."

"go back!"

Gu Yanli's words brooked no refusal. Su Yiran met his gaze, and remembering him from last night, she still felt a little apprehensive. She shut her mouth and said nothing more.

*

Su Yiran slept until dark, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Yanli sitting next to her.

Gu Yanli was also holding a notebook in his hand.

She looked closely and belatedly realized that this was her diary!
