After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

At the same time, in the children's study at Shi's house.

Gu Jinlan and A Ling sat on the sofa, looking at Shi Xingran and Lu Yao who were playing with building blocks in the distance.

Shi Xingran has a good concentration and is very serious and dedicated no matter what he does.

Lu Yao next to her seemed not to be paying enough attention. She glanced at Jin Lan from time to time. The little girl's admiring eyes were filled with some caution.

Ah Ling also noticed her daughter's gaze and said softly, "Madam, my daughter admires you very much. She told me that she wants to be someone like you when she grows up."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "She will have a better life in the future. There is nothing good about my life."

Ah Ling said, "Madam, don't underestimate yourself. I heard from other maids that you used to be a teacher at Aolinton Kindergarten. It's the top kindergarten in the country, and not everyone can teach there! I also heard from them that you are the famous jewelry designer Lan Xing!"

"I have worked in many wealthy families before. Most of the other rich wives don't have jobs. They just eat, drink and have fun every day. Even their children are taken care of by professional nannies. I have never seen a woman as outstanding as you."

"Not only Yaoyao admires you, but I admire you too!"

A Ling became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gu Jinlan.

Gu Jinlan laughed, "Sister A Ling, if you keep talking, I'll be so proud."

Ah Ling said: "Madam has the capital to be proud, and she should be proud!"

Gu Jinlan looked at Lu Yao over there and asked A Ling, "If you can only choose one between peace and happiness and excellence, what kind of future do you hope Yaoyao will have?"

Ah Ling said without hesitation: "I definitely hope she will live a peaceful and happy life."

Gu Jinlan nodded.

Everyone only sees her current achievements, but they don’t know how much hard work she put in.

She may have some talent in jewelry design, but without strong start-up capital, it would be impossible for Blue to emerge in just two years and become a fashion sought after by the upper class.

And those start-up funds were also obtained at the cost of her life.

As for why she became a psychological counselor, it was because she was once deeply troubled by mental illness and became a doctor after suffering from the disease for a long time.

In short, behind all achievements there is a huge price to pay.

If possible, she doesn't want her life to be so hard.

If she hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, she wouldn't be who she is now.

If there is someone who can protect her and keep her safe and worry-free, she would rather be a happy salted fish.

All her strength is for survival.

So she hopes that Ranran may not be as outstanding as Shi Ye in the future, but she must be happy and safe.

Because Shi Ye is not a happy person either.

Ah Ling looked at Gu Jinlan in confusion: "Isn't your life happy, Madam? Your husband is so good to you, and you have such a lovely son. Although... Ranran is not your biological son, you can see that he is very attached to you and loves you very much."

This is what many women dream of.

Gu Jinlan was slightly stunned, then gave a forced smile, "I'm still quite happy."

After meeting Shi Ye and Ran Ran, her life has indeed become different from before and has become more colorful.

She believed that the same was true for both of them.

The three of them saved each other.

Gu Jinlan didn't want to continue talking about this, so she changed the subject and asked, "Has Zhang Qiang contacted you recently?"

"I haven't contacted him since then." Ah Ling said gratefully, "Thanks to my wife and husband, with you around, he doesn't dare to contact me anymore."

Gu Jinlan said: "That's good. If he comes to harass you again, tell me."

Ah Ling's eyes moistened slightly. "Madam, you are the lifesaver of Yaoyao and me. You also sent Yaoyao to the Aolinton Kindergarten. I really don't know how to thank you. I can only repay you by working like a cow and a horse for the rest of my life."

Gu Jinlan said: "Don't worry about it, it's just a piece of cake for me."

She has helped countless children and never thought about getting anything in return from them.

Ah Ling said: "Although it is not worth mentioning to my wife, in Yaoyao and I's heart, it is a life-saving grace."

"That time my wife taught those two debt collectors a lesson at our house. I thought Yaoyao would be frightened by the fight between you two, but she later told me that she thought you were particularly powerful that day. She said she also wanted to learn martial arts so that she could protect my wife in the future."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "Okay, I can teach her when I have time in the future."

"That's great, thank you ma'am!" A Ling said with tears in her eyes.

She would be willing to repay such a great favor with her life.

"You don't have to be so polite." Gu Jinlan glanced at the time on his phone.

It was almost eight o'clock, and the woman named Shu Yi said that she had an appointment with Shi Ye to meet in the hotel room at eight o'clock tonight.

Shi Ye hasn't come back yet, so he should have gone to see her, right?

A Ling noticed that Gu Jinlan was a little absent-minded and asked, "Madam, is there anything on your mind?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he actually cared about it.

She could accept Ranran reuniting with her biological mother, and she could accept Shiye’s contact with that woman, but she could not accept him deliberately hiding things from her.

The deliberate concealment would make her think more and wonder if there was something else between him and that woman?

"It's okay." Gu Jinlan stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with in the study. You stay here with them first, I'll be back soon."

It was almost eight o'clock, and she couldn't control the random thoughts in her mind, so she wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.

When she came to the terrace, Gu Jinlan had a slender ladies' cigarette in her mouth, but she couldn't light it with her lighter.

As if it was an ominous sign, she tried a few more times.

After a few "clicks", the fire finally lit up, igniting two flames in her dark eyes.

After taking a mouthful of nicotine, she looked up at the night sky.

There are no depressing high-rise buildings around the manor. Here you can see the sky full of stars and it is very peaceful.

Gu Jinlan slowly exhaled a puff of smoke towards the sky, and his mood finally calmed down.

It was no big deal, she told herself.

The worst outcome is to leave. Although she is reluctant, she was also alone before.

She used to be worried about Ranran, but in the future, if Ranran has a biological mother, she won’t be so reluctant to leave her stepmother.

She has always been worried that if she died in the future, Shi Ye and Ranran would be very sad.

So she always restrained her emotions and dared not take a step forward. She didn't want the father and son to have too deep feelings for her, but she was also afraid that she would get too deeply involved.

Now that Shu Yi appeared, she no longer had to worry about this.

After taking another deep puff of the cigarette, Gu Jinlan frowned.

She hated herself now, fussy, hesitant, and full of wild thoughts. Her heart was almost tangled into a knot.

This is why she has always been unwilling to have any emotional ties with others.

Well, if I hadn't barged into the world of that father and son, I wouldn't have had these tormenting emotions.

She put out her cigarette and turned to go into the house when her cell phone rang.

It was Shi Ye who called.
