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

Chapter 142 Pregnancy

"Want to know?"

Su Yiran's words were clearly within Gu Yanli's expectations.

He smiled casually and said, "Then Secretary Su should pay more attention to her work in the future and stop sleeping during work hours so often."

"...It's been said that work-life balance is important, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

Su Yiran was ultimately in the wrong and didn't pursue the matter any further. At that moment, Meng Ran sent her a message.

It's a voice message.

Su Yiran subconsciously turned on the voice message.

"You mean your husband likes men and is having an affair with that Yan Lianhe? No wonder Yan Yuan ran away, so that's how it is. If it were me, I would have run away too! Yiyi, your husband has taken in a male mistress. I never thought that Mr. Gu, who looks so respectable, could do such a thing. It's really unbelievable. But listen to me, pack your things and run away quickly. It's more important to save your life."

Such people may contract some strange disease.

"Male third party?"

Gu Yanli's casual words rang in Su Yiran's ears, and her head exploded. Her face turned pale, and she quickly put away her phone. She forced herself to look up to explain, only to meet the face right in front of her. "Um, I..."

The man stared intently at her.

"I never expected my wife to speak ill of her husband like this in public. My reputation doesn't matter, but my wife, don't you care about yours either?"

"I... can explain."

Su Yiran forced a smile and quietly moved her chair, preparing to run away, but Gu Yanli held the chair tightly with one hand, making her unable to move.

Her heart was pounding.

Gu Yanli nodded, "I'll listen to your excuses."

"I...this is none of my business."

I'm so sorry, Ranran!

Su Yiran said, "It's all Ranran's fault. One of our colleagues at the gallery resigned. She happened to know Yan Lianhe, so we were wondering why she resigned. And then... you know, girls like to chat about random things, it's harmless, it's harmless."

Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow. "So, according to you, Meng Ran is spreading rumors about me behind my back and ruining my reputation?"

"It's just casual conversation, don't put it so harshly."

Su Yiran smiled ingratiatingly and reached out to pat his chest. "I believe Lord Ayan is magnanimous and will certainly not hold it against her. Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson for you later and make sure she watches her mouth and doesn't do it again!"

"The lady wasn't involved?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Su Yiran nodded sincerely, "As you know, I'm very concerned about my reputation, and I could never do something that harms others without benefiting myself."

"right."

Gu Yanli nodded, pinched her cheek, and turned back to his office.

Su Yiran looked at the man working with his head down in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Ran really ruined her life.

Why would she openly send a voice message when she's always talking badly about others?

She doesn't care about her life, she wants it!

She'll have to give her a good talking to later.

Su Yiran was looking at the time, waiting to get off work, when Gu Yanli suddenly had a meeting.

It was supposed to be a short meeting, but it lasted for two hours.

It was already eight o'clock when the two returned to the Gu family manor.

"Yiyi's back. Were you starving?"

Madam Lan looked at the people who came in, ignored Gu Yanli beside her, and took Su Yiran's hand to go in. "What happened? You've only been working for one day, why do you look so haggard? Did someone bully you?"

As Madam Lan spoke, she glanced at the man behind her.

Gu Yanli preemptively said, "It's still uncertain who will bully whom."

"What, so you mean Yi Yi bullied you? That's ridiculous. At Gu's, you're the boss. Do you think a mere secretary would dare to bully you? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Madam Lan said, "Also, you can work overtime, but you can't force others to stay at get off work just because you don't want to. You don't eat, but Yiyi still needs to eat."

"Waaah, Mom is still the best to me."

Su Yiran looked at Madam Lan with a wronged expression and sniffed.

Madam Lan patted her hand, "Good girl, let's ignore him and go eat!"

"Okay, Mom."

Su Yiran nodded and glanced triumphantly at Gu Yanli.

The man looked at her helplessly.

A bodyguard walked in and whispered in Gu Yanli's ear.

The man's eyes darkened. "Have you explained everything?"

"It's all settled."

The bodyguard nodded.

Gu Yanli nodded slightly.

After meal.

Su Yiran did nothing today, but she was still very sleepy and went to bed early.

I couldn't get up the next day.

No matter how Gu Yanli called her, she seemed not to hear him and couldn't open her eyes at all.

"Being late will result in a deduction from your pay."

"you are annoying."

Su Yiran frowned, closed her eyes, and held Gu Yanli's hand, "Sleep a little longer."

As long as Gu Yanli doesn't go to the Gu family business, she won't be considered late.

"You've been asleep for a long time."

Gu Yanli checked the time and picked her up from the bed. "From 10 pm last night to 9 pm now, eleven hours. Madam, sleeping with too many people will make you stupid."

"Um--"

Su Yiran was so bothered that she opened her eyes, reluctantly washed up and ate, and then followed him out.

Throughout the journey, Su Yiran was in a daze and barely responded to Gu Yanli's attempts to speak to her.

She seriously suspected there was something poisonous in his office, otherwise why would she be so sleepy?

At noon, Su Yiran didn't have much of an appetite.

I only managed a couple of bites before feeling nauseous and unable to eat anymore.

Gu Yanli was worried, so he called the doctor over.

The doctor inquired about her recent diet and then asked, "Mrs. Gu, when was your last menstrual period?"

"Last time..."

Su Yiran looked closely, and after realizing what was happening, she looked closely at the doctor.

Could it be——

Are you pregnant?

The doctor did not jump to conclusions, but looked at Gu Yanli and suggested, "It would be more appropriate for you to take your wife to the hospital for further examination."

Gu Yanli got a general idea from the doctor's reaction.

He didn't even hesitate and went straight to the hospital.

The man held Su Yiran's hand tightly, his smile impossible to hide.

Su Yiran felt extremely depressed.

She's pregnant at this point?

Sure enough, the doctor saw the report and said, "Congratulations, you're pregnant."

Gu Yanli behind him was startled, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

"I...I'm really pregnant?"

When Su Yiran heard this, she still couldn't quite believe it.

"Yes, but it's early pregnancy, so it's unstable. You need to get plenty of rest."

Even after the two left the hospital, the doctor's words still echoed in Su Yiran's mind.

"Yiyi, I'm going to be a dad."

Gu Yanli held her in his arms gently, as if afraid of hurting her.

Su Yiran reached out and touched her belly. The baby's arrival was indeed sudden, and she wasn't mentally prepared.

After returning to the Gu family business, Gu Yanli went to a meeting.

Upon returning to her top-floor office, Su Yiran discovered that her snack cart was practically empty, containing only a few non-irritating snacks, a pitifully small amount.

"Gu Yanli, where are my snacks?"

Su Yiran stormed out and bumped right into Chen Lie.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"
