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

Chapter 43 Add Sugar

Su Yiran usually addresses Gu Yanli as "Mr. Gu," but when she is angry, she will call him by his name directly. Only occasionally will she call him "Ayan."

Since we got married, the number of times I've called him "Ayan" can be counted on one hand.

"Yiyi..."

Gu Yanli gently called to her, "What do you like to eat?"

"..."

The unexpected problem caught Su Yiran off guard.

"Hmm?" Gu Yanli didn't hear her answer, his deep gaze fixed on her. "Yiyi, don't you know?"

Su Yiran's heart was pounding as she looked into his eyes. "Ayan never puts sugar in his coffee, but he always adds sugar to his milk. He doesn't like spicy food and doesn't eat snacks..."

This is the conclusion she has drawn over this period of time.

Gu Yanli listened to her words, remained silent for a while, and then nodded reluctantly, "It seems that I have some weight in Yiyi's heart."

"What's wrong with you today?"

Su Yiran smiled at him, "I'm just curious, why is there no sugar in the coffee but sugar in the milk? Is there some special reason for it?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she had never found the opportunity to ask it before.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli met her gaze, his thoughts drifting away.

A stormy night.

A little boy was being chased when a little girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shielding him from the crowd and taking him home. She then cooked him a bowl of milk.

He has disliked sweet tastes since childhood, but after drinking milk with added sugar, he actually found it tasted alright.

"Isn't milk with sugar delicious?"

The little girl sat opposite me, her hands supporting her chin, her eyes as clear and bright as the stars in the sky. "I just like drinking milk with sugar."

……

The man's thoughts drifted back, his dark eyes fixed on her. "Milk with sugar tastes better."

Su Yiran didn't notice Gu Yanli's unusual expression and nodded, "I think so too."

When she was little, milk was tasteless and she didn't like it, so her father added sugar to it before she would drink it. So, from childhood to adulthood, her milk must have sugar added, and not too much or too little, because if it has too much or too little, the taste will be different.

"I thought I was the only one who liked sweetened milk, and that I was weird. Turns out Ayan likes it too, so now we're both weirdos."

Su Yiran grinned and said, "We're really destined to meet. But coffee is so bitter, how can you drink it?"

"Because Yi Yi wouldn't add sugar for A Yan, A Yan had no choice but to drink it down."

"It was Chenlie who told me you don't add sugar."

"You can believe what he says? Why don't you ask me?"

"..."

Chen Lie was his assistant, and if he couldn't be trusted, she really didn't know who could be trusted.

"Then I'll add sugar next time."

"I want to drink it now."

Now?

Su Yiran glanced at the time, took a deep breath, and said, "If I drink coffee now, I won't have to sleep tonight?"

"Not sleeping is a good opportunity to do something else."

Gu Yanli smiled faintly and gently rubbed her cheek.

"..."

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth, ignoring his nonsense.

……

After staying in France for another week, Su Yiran couldn't sit still any longer and returned to China first.

As soon as she got off the plane, Meng Ran brought her some explosive news—

Gu Chengjing broke off his engagement with Liu Jiaojiao.

Liu Jiaojiao cheated on her boyfriend and was caught in bed with him by Gu Chengjing. This incident caused a great uproar in the entertainment circle.

Cafe.

Meng Ran recounted what she had heard, "I never thought Gu Chengjing would end up like this. I don't know how he could be so blind. He had a great beauty like you but instead fell for Liu Jiaojiao. Now he's been tricked and has become the laughing stock of the entire capital."

Meng Ran paused for a moment before continuing, "But Liu Jiaojiao used to be head over heels in love with Gu Chengjing, and now she's abandoning the Gu family's coattails to cheat on him with another man. I don't know what she's thinking."

Su Yiran had no interest in knowing what Liu Jiaojiao was thinking, whether it was voluntary or she was set up.

Through this incident, she became certain of one thing: the marriage between the Gu and Liu families was definitely for the sake of the project plan. Since the project had already started, the Liu family had been removed from the project, and the Gu family had not benefited from it, the marriage should also come to an end.

Liu Jiaojiao's infidelity is a breakthrough point.

Su Yiran smiled and said, "People always crave novelty. You can't just hang yourself on one tree."

"you are great."

Meng Ran gave Su Yiran a thumbs up, "If you ever take a fancy to another man and it gets to the point where you can't live without him, you must tell me in advance so I can run away first. Otherwise, if Mr. Gu comes after me and thinks I interfered and caused harm to innocent people, I'll be very wronged!"

"What a coward!"

Su Yiran smiled, her gaze falling outside. Two figures came into view, and her smile widened. "Please watch the show."

"what?"

Meng Ran looked in the direction she was looking, puzzled.

Outside the coffee shop, Liu Jiaojiao and Gu Chengjing appeared at the same time, making quite a commotion and attracting the attention of many people.

Gu Chengjing ignored Liu Jiaojiao, but Liu Jiaojiao clung tightly to his clothes, saying, "Brother Chengjing, I'm pregnant with your child, a child of your Gu family. You can't be so heartless."

"Yo ho!"

The two people in the coffee shop gasped, wishing they could press their ears to the glass, afraid of missing any earth-shattering news.

The glass window is a one-way mirror, so you can't see inside from the outside, but the sound insulation is indeed a bit poor.

However, even bad things have their advantages.

Gu Chengjing turned his head and glanced at Liu Jiaojiao. Since she was resorting to moral blackmail, he would grant her wish.

“I can’t count the number of pregnant women who come to me for help every day. Miss, please have some self-respect, or I won’t hesitate to call the police.”

"Brother Chengjing, you..."

Liu Jiaojiao looked at him with disbelief.

Gu Chengjing left decisively without the slightest hesitation, while Liu Jiaojiao sat on the ground crying bitterly.

Meng Ran shook her head admiringly, "Why do I feel that the scumbag looks at Liu Jiaojiao with disgust? Am I seeing things wrong?"

"When a man is in love, he kisses his little darling. But once a man's heart changes, this is what happens. But never underestimate a man's compassion."

Su Yiran withdrew her gaze, waved to pay the bill, and left the coffee shop. Passing by Liu Jiaojiao, she lowered her eyes and said, "What are you doing here, Jiaojiao? It's getting cold. Don't play around and hurt the baby in your belly."

When Liu Jiaojiao saw Su Yiran appear, her eyes reddened with anger. "Su Yiran, it's you! It's definitely you! Otherwise, why would Brother Chengjing abandon me?"

"I gave you the person, but you couldn't keep them, so who can you blame?"

Su Yiran smiled and said with a smile, "Little sister, you have to be careful. If anything happens to the baby in your belly, you'll lose your last bargaining chip for marrying into the Gu family."

Upon hearing Su Yiran's words, Liu Jiaojiao subconsciously clutched her stomach.

Yes, as long as the child is still alive, the Gu family will never abandon the child in her womb.
