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

Shi Ye immediately put his bony hands on the headphones and listened carefully to the sound coming from Song Fengming's side.

The subtle sound didn't seem to be brought in by someone outside the bedroom.

Because he had been listening for five minutes, and the room was always very quiet, with no sound of the door opening or footsteps.

In other words, the sound came from the person in the bedroom.

And in Song Fengming's bedroom, there was only Song Fengming!

Shi Ye frowned slightly and suddenly heard a cough.

It was a man's cough, weak and feeble, but it didn't sound like the cough of an elderly person.

Could it be...!

Song Fengming woke up? !

In Shi Xingran's bedroom, Gu Jinlan was telling Shi Xingran a bedtime story.

"One day, the little lion's parents told him that they were going out for a while. The little lion was very sad because he didn't want to leave his parents."

"But the little lion knows that he must learn to be independent and strong, so that he can become the king of the grassland when he grows up."

Shi Xingran snuggled in Gu Jinlan's arms. When he heard this, he blinked his eyes and said, "The little lion is so pitiful. Can't he just not be the king of the grassland?"

Gu Jinlan looked down at the little guy in her arms.

He was seen frowning, as if he had put himself in the shoes of the little lion.

Gu Jinlan smiled dotingly and said softly, "But mom and dad will get old one day. Only when the little lion becomes the king of the grassland can he protect mom and dad."

"Oh." Shi Xingran nodded, "Then I'll take over. Protecting mom and dad is the most important thing!"

Gu Jinlan went on talking, and when she came to the part about the little lion's adventure alone, Shi Xingran listened with great interest.

"The little lion has learned how to find food and water on its own, how to protect itself, and has made many new friends."

"A long time later, when mom and dad came back, the little lion had overcome his inner fear and became strong and independent, no longer afraid of loneliness and difficulties."

"Mom and Dad are so proud that their little baby has become a real lion!"

Shi Xingran narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The little lion is awesome!"

Gu Jinlan gently kissed Shi Xingran on the forehead, "Ranran is great too! Did Ranran get any inspiration from this story?"

The smile on Shi Xingran's face gradually faded, and he lowered his eyes as if he was thinking.

Gu Jinlan thought he didn't understand, so she patiently said, "This story tells us that being brave doesn't mean having no fear. It's normal to have fear. Being brave means having the courage to face fear and overcome it."

"If the little lion can do it, our Ranran is so smart, he can definitely do it too, right?"

Shi Xingran pouted slightly and muttered, "There's more to what mom wants to tell me than just this."

He pinched his fingers and said sadly: "My mother is leaving me to go far away. She told me this story because she hoped that Ranran could learn to be independent and strong like the little lion."

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then a relieved smile spread across her eyes, "Ranran is indeed a smart baby."

She really wanted to convey this message to Ranran through this story.

But Ranran is only four years old, and she thought a four-year-old child would not think about these things.

Seeing his lost face, Gu Jinlan comforted him: "Ranran, mommy is not going to abandon you. Although I am Ranran's mother, I am also an independent individual. Sometimes I have to separate from Ranran and do what I should do."

Shi Xingran raised her little face and looked at Gu Jinlan, "Is mom going out for adventure too?"

Gu Jinlan nodded after pondering, "Yes, life outside of the comfort zone is an adventure. In the future, Ranran will also go on adventures alone like the little lion."

Shi Xingran asked again: "When will you be back? The little lion's parents have been out for a long time. Will the mother be out for a long time too?"

Gu Jinlan said: "I can't confirm the time yet, but I promise that I will come back as soon as I am done with my work."

Shi Xingran nodded: "Then I also promise that when mom comes back, Ranran will become strong and independent like the little lion!"

Looking at the little guy's serious eyes, Gu Jinlan's heart almost melted.

She hugged him in her arms, "Yes! I believe that Ranran will definitely be the pride of mother!"

Gu Jinlan left only after Shi Xingran fell asleep.

When she returned to the bedroom and didn't see Shi Ye, she went to the study to look for him.

She knocked on the study door gently, and only opened it when she heard Shi Ye respond.

Seeing Shi Ye wearing headphones and monitoring Song Fengming, she walked in quietly and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing Shi Ye putting one hand on the headphones with a serious look on his face, Gu Jinlan couldn't help laughing.

If you like eavesdropping so much, it would be a shame if you didn't become a spy.

Gu Jinlan did not disturb him and sat quietly waiting for a while.

She got a little bored of waiting, so she stood up and walked to the bookshelf.

My eyes swept across the neat rows of books and were suddenly attracted by a messy corner.

Shi Ye’s study is very tidy, and every book on the bookshelf is arranged neatly to the millimeter, with a sense of obsessive-compulsive orderliness.

But only in that corner, a few sheets of photo paper were pulled out.

It was the photo that Shu Yi had shown Shi Ye before, a photo of Shi Xingran when he was still an infant, placed at the door of the Shi family's old house.

Gu Jinlan walked over and wanted to help Shi Ye tidy up. She pinched a corner of the photo paper with her fingers and was about to pull it out and put it back in when she suddenly heard Shi Ye's voice.

"Lanlan, I just monitored Song Fengming and found something."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan was anxious to understand the situation, so he simply pushed the photo paper inside to make the surface look neat.

She turned back to look at Shi Ye, "What did you hear?"

No wonder he listened so carefully just now and left her aside.

Shi Ye put down his headphones and said, "The coughing sound should be Song Fengming's voice. He may have woken up."

Gu Jinlan was surprised, "Awake? That's a miracle!"

He heard from Shi Ye that the doctor treating Song Fengming said that the hope of Song Fengming waking up was very slim.

Shi Ye nodded slightly, "But this is just my guess, I can't be sure yet. I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Song family. If Song Fengming really wakes up, there should be news soon."

Gu Jinlan said: "If he wakes up, he should contact Shu Yi."

"Yes."

"So what are your plans for the future?"

Shi Ye stood up and walked in front of Gu Jinlan. "Don't worry. Shu Yi is already in a desperate situation. It's not worth mentioning. Let Song Fengming contact her. It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

Gu Jinlan reminded: "If it was really Song Fengming and Shu Yi who conspired to plot against you, then Song Fengming must be a tough guy. You should not underestimate him."

"Don't worry, I will take care of these things, so you can go on your business trip with peace of mind." Shi Ye put his arms around Gu Jinlan's waist and held her in his arms from behind.

His soft lips kissed the tip of her white ear, and his voice was filled with reluctance, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"There's nothing much to pack, just a few changes of clothes. I just put Ranran to sleep."

"He must be very reluctant to part with you. Did he cry?"

"I didn't cry. Ranran is still strong."

When it comes to Shi Xingran, Gu Jinlan still feels uneasy, "Aye, I have something to say to you."
