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

Chapter 24 Forced Marriage

"You smell so good."

Su Yiran was held in Gu Yanli's arms.

The man's scent was particularly strong at that moment; it wasn't hard to smell, and it was quite pleasant, even comforting.

Gu Yanli said in a deep voice, "Yiyi, you can't say things like that in bed."

"I'm serious."

Su Yiran looked up and met Gu Yanli's dark eyes, her expression serious. "It smells different from usual. What brand of shower gel are you using?"

Gu Yanli chuckled softly and patted her back. "Go to sleep."

"But……"

"I have two meetings tomorrow. Does Madam Gu want me to doze off in front of my subordinates?"

"..."

Su Yiran pouted. If she didn't want to ask, she didn't care to know.

*

After that night, Su Yiran moved into the master bedroom.

Gu Yanli was indeed very busy, and she couldn't see him for several days in a row, but Chen Lie often lingered around her.

After leaving the cruise ship, Su Yiran was afraid that the Liu family would harm Uncle Zhong, so she asked Gu Yanli to send someone to take him to another place.

She had never doubted Gu Yanli's abilities.

With Gu Yanli around, she didn't believe the Liu family would dare to oppose the Gu family.

Moreover, this Gu Jia is not the same as that Gu Jia.

Chen Lie brought Su Yiran a long-awaited apology letter.

Given Gu Chengjing's personality, although he was afraid of Gu Yanli, he was capable of doing things insincerely. Knowing that he wouldn't write honestly, she didn't actually want those few scraps of paper; she just wanted to annoy him.

Su Yiran opened the envelope, looked at the densely handwritten letter, and frowned.

"Mr. Gu is not a good uncle. He doesn't care about his nephew's handwriting, which looks like chicken claws."

Chen Lie smiled and said, "Madam's handwriting is just as beautiful as yours."

"..."

Su Yiran raised an eyebrow.

This kind of flattery really knows how to work.

Su Yiran felt a headache coming on as she looked at the page full of words.

Chen Lie said, "Madam doesn't really need to look at it. Just point out a few problems and send it back for Young Master Gu to rewrite."

"Just point to a few questions?"

"The handwriting is illegible, rewrite it;"

The attitude is insincere; rewrite it.

Inconsistent font sizes, rewrite;

The paper is wrinkled and messy, rewrite it...

"..."

It's quite casual, really.

Su Yiran then realized that Chen Lie was quite cunning and had a knack for playing pranks on people.

Coincidentally, Su Yiran holds grudges to the core, so she naturally wouldn't let Gu Chengjing off easily.

After finally having a few days of free time, a phone number kept bombarding me with calls.

Su Yiran looked at the incoming call information when the phone rang again.

She didn't want to answer the call, after all, her mother was with the Liu family and everything revolved around them, so she had no idea who she was.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

But she was still her mother, and perhaps she really had an emergency.

The moment the call connected, Su Yiran regretted it.

"Where the hell have you been? I've called so many times and no one has answered. Do you even care about me?"

The other party's barrage of words gave Su Yiran no chance to react at all. "If you really don't care about me, I'll pretend I don't have a daughter like you."

Su Yiran gave a self-deprecating smile. What was she hoping for?

What can I do for you?

"What kind of attitude is this? I only said a few words to you, and you give me that attitude. You did something wrong, and I can't even say anything?" Madam Liu scolded. "If you were even half as obedient as Jiao Jiao, I would thank God."

"If you have nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Su Yiran felt a lump in her throat, making her feel uncomfortable and suffocated.

She didn't intentionally ignore the phone, but in her mother's eyes, it was an unforgivable and heinous act.

"Jiaojiao and Chengjing are getting engaged tomorrow. As the older sister, you must show up. Don't let people laugh at our Liu family!"

Our Liu family?

Su Yiran gave a cold laugh.

I didn't expect the Gu and Liu families to move so quickly; they got engaged so soon.

Su Yiran and Gu Yanli met again several times, but were separated by five days.

Around dinnertime, the sound of an engine came from outside; Gu Yanli had returned.

Su Yiran was eating and didn't notice what was happening outside. She ate by herself, occasionally taking out her phone to complain to Meng Ran.

Meng Ran also received firsthand information: "I heard that the Liu family made a scene at Old Madam Gu's place before the marriage was arranged, so this was a forced marriage."

"Forced marriage?"

A man's voice sounded above her head, startling Su Yiran so much that she subconsciously looked up and met Gu Yanli's eyes. She froze for two seconds, then coughed a few times, choking on her own words.

Gu Yanli handed over a tissue, "Can you help someone who's so scared? Do I look scary?"

"Do not……"

Su Yiran took the tissue, wiped her mouth, calmed herself down, and cleared her throat. "Mr. Gu walks without making a sound, like a ghost."

"My fault."

Gu Yanli responded softly, "I didn't inform Madam beforehand."

"..."

Gu Yanli's initiative in admitting his "mistake" caught Su Yiran off guard, making her seem like she was being unreasonable.

She changed the subject, "Mr. Gu has been nowhere to be seen lately, I wonder what he's been up to?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli met her gaze and smiled faintly, "There's a project that needs to be restarted recently, so I've been quite busy and haven't been able to take care of you, Madam."

"..."

Ha ha!

Su Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth. "If Mr. Gu didn't have a girlfriend before, I would never believe it even if you beat me to death."

She's so eloquent and charming, like a peacock displaying its plumage, strutting around everywhere.

"Please rest assured, Madam Gu, I have always maintained a clean and upright character and will not embarrass you."

Su Yiran was not swayed by Gu Yanli's ambiguous words, "So, does it or doesn't it?"

"Have."

Gu Yanli did not deny it, "No, after all, the girl didn't like me at the time."

His eyes held a faint smile, without a trace of embarrassment or resentment at being rejected.

"Are you kidding me?"

These words shocked Su Yiran. There were actually girls in the world who didn't like Gu Yanli.

If there really is one, she'd like to get to know him.

Gu Yanli is powerful, handsome, and has a charming mouth. What is it about him that the other person doesn't like?

"Is the girl you like in Kyoto? She's not greedy for money or lustful. Introduce me to her?"

"you are happy?"

Gu Yanli's expression changed slightly, his eyes darkening. "You're happy to know I like someone else?"

Hearing Gu Yanli's words, Su Yiran's heart skipped a beat. She quickly tried to salvage the situation, gently scolding, "Nonsense!"

"How could I be happy if my husband likes other women? I... I'm just jealous. What kind of beauty could make my husband so obsessed with her, even after we're married? If I find her, I'll smash her mouth and tear her face apart, and see what she can use to seduce my husband then!"

In wealthy families, the ability to expose mistresses is an essential skill for rich wives, because the higher the power, the more trouble they attract.

Gu Yanli asked in a hoarse voice, "Then what did you want to seduce me for, your money or your looks?"
