Chapter 80 Unreasonable trouble
Gu Yanli released her, pulled her into his arms, and glanced coldly at the man who had entered. "Mr. Sheng has also seen that my wife is fine."
Sheng Jiahe looked at Su Yiran, who had her eyes downcast, without saying a word, and turned to leave the room.
Su Yiran took a deep breath and pushed Gu Yanli away, "You've gone too far this time."
Gu Yanli took in her reaction. "I told you, I don't like you meeting with that guy surnamed Sheng in private. I let it go last time because of you, and I didn't make a fuss about it this time because of you too. And what happened? You're still angry with me? Yiyi, my patience has its limits."
“But I didn’t do anything with him. We were just ordinary friends who bumped into each other by chance and chatted for a bit, that’s all.”
Su Yiran looked at him, "Is this not allowed?"
"No."
Gu Yanli refused decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
"..."
Being unreasonable!
Su Yiran withdrew her gaze and stopped speaking.
Her attitude was firm; it wasn't something she could change with just a few words.
I didn't think much of Gu Yanli before; on the contrary, I thought he was a pretty good person. It was just that the rumors outside made him seem mysterious. Only recently have I realized that he is a strong-willed person who truly means what he says and does not allow anything to be out of his control.
The wedding preparations have begun, and Madam Gu has already sent someone to invite them.
"How are you? If you're not feeling well, take a rest."
Gu Yanli gently ruffled her hair, his tone returning to its previous gentleness, as if nothing had happened.
This is what makes Gu Yanli so remarkable.
Regardless, Su Yiran felt uneasy because Gu Yanli's words were laced with sarcasm.
She shrank her neck and said, "I'm fine, I'll go change my clothes first."
She walked around Gu Yanli, got off the bed from the other side, took the newly prepared dress next to her, and went into the dressing room next door to change.
Gu Yanli remained seated on the sofa, watching her flee in disarray, his thin lips pressed tightly together and his fists clenched.
During the wedding, Gu Yanli's appearance, arm in arm with Su Yiran, became the focus of the entire banquet, including Sheng Jiahe in the corner.
For some reason, when a group of people gathered around to talk, Su Yiran immediately noticed Sheng Jiahe, who was standing inconspicuously in the corner, and his eyes fell on her.
But she dared not look any longer, for fear of provoking Gu Yanli again.
This was the first time she had ever been so cautious around Gu Yanli.
Gu Yanli sat in the front row with Su Yiran, his hand tightly holding hers.
His grip on Su Yiran's hand made her palms sweat.
"very nervous?"
The man's voice rang in her ears, startling Su Yiran so much that her face involuntarily turned pale.
"Gu Yanli, did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Su Yiran took a deep breath and glanced at him unhappily, "Are you trying to break my bones?"
Gu Yanli wasn't annoyed. Instead, he chuckled and let go of her hand. "I thought Yiyi was still angry. I was wondering how to coax her back."
Should I slap you and then give you a piece of candy?
It's not hard to see that this is something Gu Yanli is capable of doing.
"I'm not as petty as you."
Su Yiran said calmly and withdrew her gaze.
The wedding didn't go very smoothly. Just before the ceremony was about to begin, Gu Chengjing's mistress suddenly showed up at the door, caused a scene, and then news spread that the bride had suddenly fainted.
The island is teeming with poisonous insects and ants, and even in this freezing weather, some inevitably slip through the net and set their sights on Liu Jiaojiao.
Some people are saying that the poisonous insects were brought by the woman who caused the trouble earlier, with the intention of ruining the wedding.
The truth is not something Su Yiran should care about.
This was a minor matter and didn't affect the other guests; their attention was focused on Gu Yanli.
While Gu Yanli was talking to others, Su Yiran ran over to check on Liu Jiaojiao's condition.
The doctor had already treated the wound, applied medicine, and given the patient medication. The patient was now awake because the woman who had caused the trouble had been arguing with Gu Chengjing.
Su Yiran didn't go in; she turned to leave when a slap suddenly landed hard on her face.
She was stunned by the blow, and her ears were ringing.
Liu's father appeared in front of her, frowning. "Yiran, don't blame Uncle Liu for being too harsh. Blame yourself for being so indiscreet!"
Su Yiran looked up and met Liu's father's gaze. She took a breath and asked, "How am I being indecent?"
Mr. Liu said, "Don't think I don't know. Mr. Gu treats you badly, and that's your own fault. You're so brainless. You know Mr. Gu's temper, yet you still flirt with other men outside. Who was that man during the day?"
daytime?
Su Yiran remembered.
"That's my business, it has nothing to do with you. We're not related by blood. Even if I'm not careful, it's none of your business. But I respect you as an elder, so I won't hold this slap against you. I hope you'll think carefully about the consequences before you lay a hand on me in the future."
Su Yiran turned and left with a cold face.
"Yiyi..."
At the corner, she met Sheng Jiahe again.
She looked away and walked straight ahead, pretending she hadn't seen him.
People are concerned about their image, especially in front of childhood playmates, and don't want the other person to see any of their shortcomings.
But Sheng Jiahe happened to see it all.
Su Yiran hid in a corner and drank, becoming more and more irritable with each drink.
The wedding ceremony was postponed to the next day due to unforeseen circumstances.
Gu Yanli left the banquet in the early hours of the morning. When he returned to his room, it was pitch black, but through the moonlight, he could vaguely see a figure on the bed.
He quietly took his change of clothes into the bathroom.
Su Yiran was not asleep.
Hearing the door close, she slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the dimly lit bathroom.
To be honest, she hated Gu Yanli ever since she was slapped.
If he's unhappy, everyone will think it's her fault.
She was not noble, even despicable. She admitted that she had climbed up to him because she was after his power and influence. The Liu family was wary of Gu Yanli and dared not do anything to her.
When she thought Gu Yanli was good, he truly was. But now, she wished she could return the slap to him.
Hearing the water stop flowing inside, Su Yiran looked away, turned to the side, and pretended to be asleep.
Not long after, the bed behind her sank, and an arm wrapped around her waist, forcing her to turn over.
As always, she was held tightly in Gu Yanli's arms.
Su Yiran was displeased.
She had gotten used to falling asleep in Gu Yanli's arms, and this habit was the most dangerous and fatal one.
The wedding proceeded as scheduled on the second day.
After returning to Kyoto, Su Yiran went to the gallery all day long. Normally, it was rare to see her once or twice a week, but now she could see her almost every day.
Meng Ran teased her, "Did you have a fight with your Mr. Gu?"
"What nonsense."
Su Yiran met her gaze.
Meng Ran retorted, "If you're not throwing a tantrum, why do you come here every day?"
"I love my job, and my job makes me happy, is that not okay?"
Su Yiran said, "You have time to meddle in my business? How are things going between you and that male painter?"
