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

Shi Ye's voice was cold and calm.

But based on Butler Xue's understanding of him, he knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Butler Xue raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, poured a glass of water and handed it to Shi Ye.

"Master, calm down first. It's possible that the young lady's adoptive mother said that in order to sow discord between you and the young lady. Let's get things straight first. You are in a bad mood now. If you call the young lady back, it will easily lead to a quarrel..."

"Do whatever you're told!"

Shi Ye suddenly waved his hand and opened the cup of water handed to him by Butler Xue.

The water cup was thrown out and fell on the marble floor with a "crash" and broke into pieces.

"Okay... then... then I'll contact the young lady right away." Butler Xue didn't dare to persuade her anymore. He sighed, took out his cell phone and prepared to call Gu Jinlan.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Shi Ye stopped him and said, "Don't contact her."

Butler Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the young master calls the young mistress back when he is angry, it will only make the situation worse.

He hoped that the young master could calm down and deal with the matter rationally.

If I get angry and make the young lady leave, I will have nowhere to cry when I calm down.

"Just pretend you didn't hear anything today." Shi Ye said in a cold voice, then he stood up and walked out.

------

At the Zhao family's side, the family was enjoying lunch happily.

Zhao Jinchen said, "Lanlan, can you and Aye arrange a time the night after tomorrow? Let's get together as a family, and I want to formally introduce you to Shu He."

"Okay, I'm fine the day after tomorrow, and Aye should be able to too." Gu Jinlan nodded and agreed without hesitation.

She hadn't met Shu He yet, but she liked Xiao Jin very much the last time she saw him.

Seeing that Gu Jinlan is now actively cooperating with the family dinner, Zhao Jinchen is very happy, "Then remember to bring Ranran along as well. Ranran is a little withdrawn, while Xiaojin is lively and cheerful. Let Ranran play more with Xiaojin. They are of similar age and should be able to play together."

"it is good."

When Shi Xingran was mentioned, Yan Ziyin asked with concern: "Lanlan, are you getting along well with Aye's son? Is there anything difficult?"

Everyone knows that being a stepmother is not easy.

Yan Ziyin is also a woman, so she is more concerned about Gu Jinlan's problems in this regard.

Shi Ye has only this one precious son, and everyone in the Shi family treats Shi Xingran as a treasure. She is worried that Gu Jinlan is still too young to handle the relationship between them well.

Gu Jinlan said: "Ranran and I get along very well, he is very well behaved."

Zhao Jinchen saw his mother's worry and said with a smile, "Mom, you don't have to worry about these problems. I heard from Aye that Ranran is closer to Lanlan than to his biological father. Aye even joked that he was worried that if Lanlan separated from him in the future, his son would follow Lanlan and leave him."

"Really?" Yan Ziyin was very surprised, "It seems that Ranran is really well behaved."

Gu Jinlan also looked at Zhao Jinchen with some surprise.

Does Aye actually have such worries?

When did he tell Brother Zhao?

Until the end of lunch, Zhao Jingchuan didn't find an opportunity to talk to Gu Jinlan alone.

Seeing Gu Jinlan getting up to leave, and the family surrounding her to see her off, Zhao Jingchuan hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, big brother, let me see Lanlan off, okay?"

The voice is slightly humble.

Zhao Jinchen then remembered that his third brother had always wanted to have a private chat with Lan Lan, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then you send Lan Lan out."

The Zhao couple watched Gu Jinlan leave with reluctance.

Seeing Gu Jinlan's back gradually going away, Zhao Zihua hurriedly shouted: "Lanlan, come back and play whenever you have time, we are here."

Hearing the voice, Gu Jinlan turned around and nodded to Zhao Zihua with a smile.

"We are all here", these words really warm people's hearts.

She didn’t have any special feelings towards the Zhao family before, but after getting to know them more deeply, she felt their sincere love.

After walking out of the sight of the three people behind him, Zhao Jingchuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Gu Jinlan.

For smokers, a cigarette after a meal is better than being a god.

Gu Jinlan shook his head and said, "I'm quitting smoking."

"It's better to quit smoking. Smoking is bad for girls' skin." Zhao Jingchuan put the cigarette into his mouth and lit it.

Seeing him take a long drag on his cigarette, as if he had something to hide, Gu Jinlan asked, "You want to talk to me about Luo Xi, right?"

Zhao Jingchuan paused while holding the cigarette. "How did you know that?"

Gu Jinlan said: "It's obvious."

The only topic they could talk about privately was Luo Xi.

An awkward smile flashed across Zhao Jingchuan's face.

Gu Jinlan asked: "Do you want to ask me something?"

If it was about Luo Xi's illness, she couldn't say a word.

Although she felt that Zhao Jingchuan should know.

But she promised Luo Xi to keep it a secret.

Zhao Jingchuan was silent for a moment, "Luo Xi came to you for psychological counseling yesterday. Didn't it go well?"

Gu Jinlan blinked in surprise, "She...told you that she was sick?"

"No, I heard your conversation at Shi's house that day. She didn't want me to know, so I had to pretend I didn't know."

Gu Jinlan smiled with relief, "It seems that you both consider each other in everything, which is good. This means that your marriage will get better and better."

Zhao Jingchuan frowned and smiled bitterly.

That day at Shi’s house, I heard Luo Xi tell Lan Lan that she must not let him know that she was sick because she didn’t want him to feel guilty.

At that time, he was indeed touched that Luo Xi considered his feelings so much, and he felt even more guilty for hurting her.

Therefore, I thought their marriage would get better and better.

But now he realized that it seemed like he was just daydreaming.

Seeing Zhao Jingchuan's gloomy eyes, Gu Jinlan asked: "You asked me if yesterday's psychological consultation was not smooth. Was it because something was wrong after she came back yesterday?"

"Yes!" Zhao Jingchuan nodded quickly. "She has been very cold to me since she came back. She went out to accompany my mother-in-law in the morning and didn't let me go with her. She also said she wanted to stay at her parents' house at night and not come back."

"Have you talked about it?"

"We chatted for a while, and she asked me if Shu Yi and I had a good relationship in the past. I thought she misunderstood the relationship between Shu Yi and me, so I explained it to her seriously, but she still looked like she was worried and ignored me."

Fortunately, Luo Xi’s best friend is his biological sister, otherwise he would have no one to talk to.

Zhao Jingchuan's confused and aggrieved look made Gu Jinlan laugh.

He looked at her in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Jinlan said: "It feels like when I was working at Ao Lington, a child came to me to complain about his grievances."

Zhao Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are my biological sister, and we are good friends, so I can only complain to you."

"Then you really found the right person. I told her yesterday to talk to you when she got back, but I didn't expect her to be so taciturn that she didn't tell you anything."

Hearing this, Zhao Jingchuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "What's going on?"
