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

Chapter 82 Are you angry?

It's snowing again in Kyoto at night.

Looking outside, under the dim streetlights, everything was covered in a thick layer of white snow.

"It's Friday, time to rest."

Gu Yanli walked over, looked deeply at her, closed the computer following her movements, took her hand, and walked out of the gallery.

This is the first Friday back to work after the holiday.

This Spring Festival was Su Yiran's first Spring Festival at the Gu family home. Madam Lan was traveling abroad and couldn't come back for the reunion dinner, and her reunion dinner with Gu Yanli wasn't very pleasant either.

Because halfway through the meal, an urgent matter at the overseas company called Gu Yanli away, and he was gone for three days.

Over the years, she had always been alone in the Liu family, and she had gotten used to it, so she didn't feel anything was wrong.

But she was always bored being alone, so she stayed in the gallery to find something to do.

"I never expected that Mr. Gu, a workaholic, would say something like that."

Su Yiran teased him, "That's really rare."

"Angry?"

It was windy outside. Gu Yanli, under his loose trench coat, held her in his arms and gently stroked her head, explaining, "It was indeed my fault on New Year's Eve. It's understandable that Yiyi was angry. I'm free for the next few days. I'll make it up to you wherever you want to go."

"That's unfortunate, Mr. Gu is free, but I am not."

With the art exhibition just around the corner, and many things still unresolved, she simply couldn't leave. Besides, she really had no interest in having fun.

But there are some things she can't say outright.

“Mr. Gu, you can’t expect me to accommodate you in everything. I have my own career too. If you dump me one day, I can’t just starve to death, can I?”

Gu Yanli snorted, "What nonsense are you spouting now? I don't like hearing this kind of talk."

Su Yiran's smile widened. "I don't like to talk about it either. I misspoke."

Gu Yanli made a reservation at a Cantonese restaurant.

It was late at night, and with the heavy snow falling, this was the only shop on the entire street that was still open for business.

They claim to be doing business with open doors, but they only do business with their own clients.

Gu Yanli had ordered the dishes earlier, and as soon as they sat down, the dishes were served one after another.

Cantonese cuisine emphasizes preserving the original flavor, being light and delicate, and having an excellent taste.

Su Yiran had been busy until now and was hungry. She ate a lot on her own. When she looked up by chance, she found that Gu Yanli had been watching her the whole time, and the food in front of him had hardly been touched.

"Mr. Gu is such a grown man, can't he even concentrate on his meal? Does he have to be fed?"

"I ate something earlier, so I'm not hungry yet."

"That's a pity, the food here is quite good, you won't have a chance to try it."

"Then Yiyi, please eat more for me."

"must."

……

Su Yiran did not go to the art gallery over the weekend. One of the days, Gu Yanli took her to the hospital for a full-body checkup.

It was supposed to be a full-body checkup, but Su Yiran knew that his real purpose was to examine the indentation at the back of her head.

The doctor's conclusion was no different from what she had heard before.

Some memories are confused or lost, but because the child was young at the time, and children forget things quickly, and things that are not remembered are never important, so it does not affect normal life.

Sunday.

Madam Lan returned, bringing Su Yiran many gifts, and chatted with her about her experiences during her trip.

Gu Yanli sat to the side, holding a magazine, making casual conversation.

When Madam Lan heard what happened on New Year's Eve, she started to settle scores. "Ayan, is work that important? On New Year's Eve, you didn't even finish your meal before abandoning your wife and running off to the country. You should be glad I wasn't home, or I would have given you a piece of my mind."

"My fault."

It was indeed Gu Yanli's fault. He didn't offer any excuses or explanations, letting her rant and rave.

"you……"

Seeing his expression, Madam Lan didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth, but then stopped.

"I'm the one who told him to prioritize his work. If Mom criticizes him, isn't that the same as her criticizing me?"

Su Yiran glanced at Gu Yanli, then looked away and held Madam Lan's hand, saying, "I'll be heartbroken."

"How could that be? How could Mom say that about my beloved Yiyi? Come on, Mom brought you some clothes. Come on, let's go back to your room and go upstairs to try them on."

Madam Lan glared at Gu Yanli, then took Su Yiran's hand and went back to her room.

Inside the room, Su Yiran was changing her clothes. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, Madam Lan frowned and asked, "Did that boy bully you? You've lost so much weight."

Su Yiran looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Mom, you don't know, nowadays girls consider being thin to be beautiful. I think my figure is great now, and I like it very much."

"Nonsense!"

Madam Lan frowned. "Does that boy Ayan often bully you? I always feel that your relationship is strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"No, that's not true. You've just been away for too long, you're overthinking it."

Su Yiran changed the subject, "Take a good look at this dress, I'm going to wear it to the art gallery tomorrow."

"Don't do anything reckless. It's cold outside, it's not appropriate."

"But it really looks good... I'm wearing a thick coat over it..."

"You……"

Madam Lan couldn't refuse her, so she had no choice but to agree.

Ever since returning from the island wedding, Su Yiran has felt a distance between herself and Gu Yanli.

I used to think Gu Yanli was a great guy, but now I realize he's not as great as I imagined. There's a sense of disappointment, but it also makes me feel better.

The weather in Kyoto was nice for the next few days; the snow stopped and the sun came out.

It was coldest when the snow melted, and the frostbite on her feet flared up again.

Since Gu Yanli saw her swollen feet like pig's trotters last time, Su Yiran stopped hiding them. So what if they were ugly? Applying medicine would relieve the pain.

"I told you to keep warm, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know you're uncomfortable?"

From the moment Gu Yanli started applying the medicine to her, he kept talking.

A couple of days ago, she dressed lightly, living up to the saying "prioritizing style over warmth," and was caught by Gu Yanli a few times. So she used Madam Lan as a shield.

He wouldn't actually take this matter to Madam Lan to ask if it was true or not.

"I'm already feeling unwell, what's the point of you criticizing me now?"

Su Yiran muttered to herself.

She was indeed wrong in this matter, and her words lacked conviction.

Gu Yanli said coldly, "I shouldn't have applied the medicine to you. I should have made you suffer for a few days so you would learn your lesson."

"You have such a cruel heart."

Su Yiran pouted.

"If you don't even care about your own body, you deserve to be in pain."

After Gu Yanli finished applying the medicine, he let her sit on the bed to air her feet.

"Stay home these next couple of days and don't let me see you wandering around outside again."

Su Yiran disagreed with Gu Yanli's statement, "I was busy with work, how can you say I was just wandering around?"

For the past two days, she has been looking at venues for art exhibitions. The locations are all good, but she can't find one that she is satisfied with.

"I'm going out this afternoon; I have an appointment to check out the venue."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanli frowned and looked at her, "You just applied the medicine and you've already forgotten the pain?"
