Gu Jinlan was stunned.

How could the famous Tenth Master be so stingy that he wouldn't even lend her an umbrella?

Isn't it generous to spend a lot of money at the mall in the afternoon?

Shi Ye explained: "I will need the umbrella later, let me take you in."

Gu Jinlan was just about to say no when Shi Ye had already opened the car door and got out. He went to the trunk in the rain and got a black umbrella.

He walked to the passenger door holding an umbrella.

He opened the car door and placed the umbrella above her head, which was very gentlemanly.

Gu Jinlan got out of the car and said, "Mr. Shi, you go ahead and do your work. It's only a few steps away. I can just run in."

"No." Shi Ye's tone left no room for doubt. "The temperature has dropped recently. It's easy to catch a cold in this weather. If you catch a cold, it will be passed on to Ranran. Children have poor resistance. Let's go."

"Then... I'll trouble you."

Can't refuse at all.

The two of them walked side by side into the community. The space under the umbrella was limited, and Gu Jinlan tried her best not to touch his body, but she would still touch him from time to time.

The temperature is low on rainy nights, and the body temperature is particularly noticeable through thin clothes.

Every time I touch her accidentally, my heart skips a beat.

Gu Jinlan wanted to go back quickly.

This is the first time in these years that I am so eager to step into the Shi family’s door.

But Shi Ye's pace was very slow, with the umbrella in his hand, so she could only follow his pace.

There are few people in the villa area, and it is raining now, so the community is very quiet, and the only sound is the dripping rain.

Listening to the sound of rain, Gu Jinlan gradually calmed down.

Shi Ye's extremely magnetic voice rang out in the rainy night, and it sounded particularly beautiful when it reached my ears.

"Are you unhappy living in the Ye family?"

Gu Jinlan was so focused on listening to his pleasant voice that she was slow to react and pose for photos, "It's OK."

"Are you sure it's okay?" Shi Ye asked.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Gu Jinlan simply confessed, "I'm really not happy living here."

Anyway, he already knew his "strange" life experience today, so there was nothing to pretend in front of him.

Shi Ye said: "If you are unhappy, just move out and live with me. There are plenty of empty rooms anyway."

Gu Jinlan refused without hesitation, "No."

Shi Ye paused and looked at her with a slightly frowned brow. "I don't ask you to pay the rent, but don't you like being with Ranran? Are you on guard against me?"

"No." Gu Jinlan explained, "My grandma needs me, and there is no sufficient reason for me to move out. She will worry about me and will not let me be alone. She has not been in good health recently, and I don't want to make her worry anymore."

This is the main reason.

Of course, part of the reason is that I don’t want to live with him under the same roof all the time.

Not to be wary of her, but to restrain yourself.

Shi Ye nodded in understanding. No wonder he had asked "Song Youze" to accompany her home to act.

If she moved out to live with her husband, Old Madam Ye would not keep her and she would feel at ease.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shi Ye’s mind.

Keep going.

Shi Ye was thinking about finding a topic to talk about when Gu Jinlan stopped.

"Mr. Shi, I'm here."

Hearing the voice, a hint of loss flashed in Shi Ye's eyes.

This road is too short.

"Thank you, Mr. Shi. When you're done with your work, please go home early. In fact, Ranran is looking forward to your early return home every day." Gu Jinlan said.

Shi Ye always goes out early and comes back late.

Shi Xingran is very sensible and understands that his father is busy at work.

Although the little guy never said it, she could see that he was actually looking forward to his father coming home early every day.

Because she found that he would often look out the window towards the front door.

"Okay." Shi Ye nodded, looking inexplicably anxious.

I wanted to keep her to talk a few more words, but I didn't know what to say.

At this time, the gate of the villa opened and Ye Hongyu walked out holding an umbrella.

"Master Shi! What a rare guest!"

Gu Jinlan frowned suddenly, unable to stand Ye Hongyu's flattering smile.

Shi Ye nodded gently towards Ye Hongyu, his eyes calm and without the tenderness from before.

"I didn't expect that my Lanlan would be so honored that Master Shi would personally send her home." Ye Hongyu finished speaking and then gently blamed Gu Jinlan, "You are not sensible either. How could you let Master Shi hold an umbrella for you? Can't you drive the car here?"

Gu Jinlan suddenly realized that he had indeed walked this section of the road in vain.

Shi Ye had just parked his car at the gate of the community. She didn't want to trouble him and planned to walk in by herself.

As a result, he took an umbrella and said he would take her in, so she didn't even think about driving a car into the community.

"Master Shi, please come in and have a cup of hot tea." Ye Hongyu invited warmly.

This was the first time he saw Master Shi at such a close distance!

I had hoped that Ye Jingwan would be able to gain some respect and establish connections with the Shi family.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all thanks to Gu Jinlan.

Gu Jinlan quickly said, "No need, Master Shi still has things to do."

The smile on Ye Hongyu's face froze for a moment. "How can you be so rude, girl? Master Shi has come to my doorstep, so I must invite you in for a couple of cups of tea."

Gu Jinlan had a cold face and didn't want to join Ye Hongyu in flattering Shi Ye.

Unexpectedly, Shi Ye said, "Sorry to bother you then."

"What are you talking about, Master Ten? How could I disturb you? I'm not disturbing you at all! Please come in!" Ye Hongyu was flattered, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.

Gu Jinlan looked at Shi Ye in surprise. He always hated dealing with people like Ye Hongyu. How come he had the time and mood to do so tonight?

"Let's go." Shi Ye smiled at Gu Jinlan, with the umbrella still held above her head.

Gu Jinlan couldn't chase him away, so she could only follow him in.

After entering the house, Fang Yue also greeted him warmly.

"Oh my god, I thought I was dreaming. I didn't expect that Master Shi would come to visit us. Our little house is so bright and beautiful."

Gu Jinlan frowned.

a shame!

"Shi Ye, please go away." Fang Yue called out.

Shi Ye sat down on the sofa, and Gu Jinlan also sat beside him.

Although she hated the Ye couple's expressions, Shi Ye was her friend after all, and she couldn't leave him alone and run upstairs to hide.

To the Ye family, Shi Ye was an honored guest. After hearing from the maid upstairs that he was coming, Old Madam Ye also came downstairs.

Shi Ye's face had always been stern, but when he saw Old Madam Ye, he revealed a polite smile.

"Old lady." He was not at all arrogant. He stood up and greeted her, just like an ordinary junior meeting an elder.

However, this politeness and respect is only because of Gu Jinlan.

Old Madam Ye was stunned. The Tenth Master in the rumors was completely different from the one she saw now.

I heard that he was ruthless and took charge of the Time Group at a young age.

A true emperor's favorite, who has achieved supreme success, should be arrogant and look down on others.

I didn't expect that he would respect her so much as a concubine.

Madam Ye: "Master Shi, please take a seat."

Shi Ye sat down: "Old Madam, don't call me that. Just call me Xiao Ye. That's what my grandma calls me."

Old Madam Ye was stunned again.

This is too easygoing!

She nodded happily: "Okay, Xiaoye."

Fang Yue heard this, handed over the teacup, and called out, "Xiao Ye, come and have some tea."
