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

The little girl was wearing a white puffy skirt and down jacket, a pair of pink and white boots, and a red felt hat on her head.

Under the hat, her big eyes were bright and sparkling with a lively light, and her chubby face made people want to pinch it.

The little girl looked up at Shu He, and the two pigtails under her hat trembled in the air.

"Is this the place Mommy and Daddy used to like to come?"

"Yes." Shu He had a gentle smile on his face, like the warm sunshine in winter.

The mother and daughter stood on the street, attracting passers-by to look back frequently.

I don’t know which lucky man has such a beautiful and lovely wife and daughter. They are so enviable.

"Then let's go in quickly." Shu Sijin urged.

Shu He bent down and prepared to pick up his daughter from the ground.

Shu Sijin took a step back, put her hands behind her back and shook her head, "No, Mommy will get tired if I hold you. I can walk by myself."

Shu He smiled. Every time she looked at her daughter's sensible appearance, she would question herself, wondering if she had made the wrong decision to leave Zhao Jinchen for her career.

"Okay, then let's hold hands." Shu He stretched out his hand to his daughter.

Shu Sijin smiled and stretched out her little hand.

Shu He held her daughter's soft little hand and walked towards the coffee shop. When she looked up, she suddenly stopped.

Through the glass, she saw Zhao Jinchen.

That corner by the window was where they used to sit every time they came.

But the girl sitting opposite Zhao Jinchen at this moment was not her.

The girl had no makeup on her face, but she was a natural beauty, with red lips, bright eyes and white teeth, and every frown and smile of hers was very attractive.

Even she couldn't help wanting to take one more look at the girl.

Looking at Zhao Jinchen again, he seemed a little nervous, but his eyes were full of that girl.

She was most familiar with his careful care and tenderness.

If he was just facing ordinary female friends, he would not be like this.

Shu He's brows furrowed unconsciously, and he suddenly felt a little suffocated.

She took a deep breath, and the cold air entering her lungs was like an ice blade, cutting her internal organs.

"Mommy? Why don't you leave?"

His daughter's voice brought Shu He back to his senses.

She relaxed her brows and squatted down in front of her daughter. "My dear, shall we go home for lunch?"

Shu Sijin asked: "Why?"

"There are a lot of people in this restaurant today. Someone might recognize me, and then we won't be able to eat quietly. Also, when there are a lot of people, the food will be served slowly. Mommy has a performance tonight, and we have to go to rehearsal right after we eat. We can't delay for too long."

Shu Sijin nodded obediently, "Okay, we'll come again next time."

"My little cutie is so well-behaved." Shu He straightened the tilted hat on her daughter's head.

He stood up and looked into the cafe again.

This time, there was no sadness in her eyes.

She looked at Zhao Jinchen's handsome profile and smiled with relief. Her smile contained sincere blessings and a little bit of regret.

This was a situation she had anticipated, and she was mentally prepared, so she was able to calm down quickly.

After all, no one will wait for you forever.

She didn't blame Zhao Jinchen.

I can only blame myself for losing him in the first place.

--

After lunch, Gu Jinlan and Zhao Jinchen separated.

On the way back, she received a call from Yun Luoxi.

"Lanlan, have you had lunch?"

"I had lunch outside with Brother Zhao at noon and we just separated."

Yun Luoxi was surprised: "Are you and my brother the only two people here?"

Gu Jinlan said: "Yes, I talked to him about the Ye family."

Yun Luoxi: “That’s great.”

Gu Jinlan asked: "What's good?"

Yun Luoxi said: "You are not opposed to contacting the Zhao family, which means that you are still willing to recognize them in your heart."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said nothing.

Yun Luoxi continued: "They really care about you..."

"Luo Xi." Gu Jinlan interrupted, "You didn't call me to persuade me, did you? We already talked about this topic at the bar last night. I hope you won't persuade me anymore. I will think about it myself. I also know that they are good to me."

In particular, Zhao Zihua's attempt to seek justice for her made her feel the warmth of being cared for.

But that doesn't mean anything.

Zhao Zihua used to be a local tyrant. A man like him would naturally not allow his own flesh and blood to be bullied outside.

They were nice to her simply because of their blood relationship, or perhaps because they felt they owed her, not because she was Gu Jinlan, not because of who she was.

For the past twenty years, they have not known each other, have not had any contact, and have never lived together.

It is not easy for people to get along with each other. Different personalities and habits will lead to many conflicts and disagreements.

Maybe when she returns to them, they will find that the daughter they imagined and missed was not like her.

She might also discover that those family ties are not what she wants.

They might let each other down.

So she didn't want to take this step easily, and didn't want to take the risk of entering into an unfamiliar relationship.

Shi Ye's presence has made her feel out of control.

She couldn't have any other ties.

Yun Luoxi explained: "Don't be so resistant. I'm not calling you to persuade you. I want to invite you to sign up for a cooking class with me. I have contacted a school. Let's go check it out together this afternoon."

Gu Jinlan said: "I won't go."

Yun Luoxi asked: "Didn't you tell me before that you were interested? Why are you suddenly not going?"

"I'm busy lately and don't have any extra time." Gu Jinlan made up an excuse.

One night before, Shi Ye suddenly asked her to make a midnight snack, and Ranran also said that she wanted to eat the food she cooked. At that time, she did have the idea of ​​going to a cooking class to learn some cooking skills.

But now I feel that this is no longer necessary.

Qingli is in trouble now, so she has no time to do these things.

And even if you learn it, you may not have the opportunity to use it in the future.

Maybe that woman named Shu Yi is a good cook?

Yun Luoxi said disappointedly: "Well, it seems that I can only learn alone."

Gu Jinlan: "You won't be staying in Haicheng for long, why don't you wait until you return to the capital to sign up for the cooking class?"

"I should stay in Haicheng for a while, it depends..." Yun Luoxi suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words.

The Zhao family planned to stay in Haicheng until Lan Lan was willing to recognize them, and then take Lan Lan back to the imperial capital to recognize her ancestors.

So how long they stay in Haicheng depends on how long it takes for Lan Lan to recognize them.

Yun Luoxi knew that Gu Jinlan didn't like her persuading her, so she didn't dare to continue.

Gu Jinlan asked: "What are you looking at?"

Yun Luoxi said: "Looking at Jingchuan's work situation, the branch of the Zhao family company in Haicheng has just been established, and there are many things to deal with. Jingchuan should stay to help his eldest brother and return to the imperial capital after he is done."

"Lanlan, I'm going to hang up now. I'll make you something delicious when I learn how to cook!"

Gu Jinlan: "Okay, bye."
