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

Gu Jinlan looked up and saw an old man with gray hair.

The mask only covered the old man's eyes, so the lower half of his face could be seen clearly.

Gu Jinlan felt that the face looked familiar. It should be a face she had seen on the news, but she couldn't remember who it was.

The old man raised his lips to a gentle smile, "Miss, can I ask you to dance with me?"

"Sorry." Gu Jinlan refused with a smile, "I have something else to do."

"Are you looking for someone?" the old man asked.

Gu Jinlan was stunned.

The old man's eyes behind the mask showed a wise smile, "I noticed you since you came in. You have been looking around. Are you looking for someone?"

Gu Jinlan frowned slightly.

The old man quickly explained with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I have no intentions towards you, it's the mask on your face that attracted me."

"My late wife and I met at a dinner like this. At the time, she was wearing the same mask as the one on your face. You and my late wife also had a similar figure when she was young, so I noticed you."

The old man's tone sounded sincere, with a hint of sadness, and it didn't sound like a lie he made up just to strike up a conversation.

Gu Jinlan relaxed his brows and a polite smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

The old man said, "Dance with me and I will help you find the person you are looking for."

Gu Jinlan said, "You are so confident that you can help me. It seems that you are very familiar with the guests coming tonight."

"Of course." The old man said, "I have to review all the guest lists, so I will definitely know the person you are looking for."

Gu Jinlan's eyes lit up, and his attitude changed immediately. "Mr. Fox, it's my honor to dance with you."

Si Mo said that the organizer of the dinner was Mr. Fox, a capitalist with great prestige in the upper class society of Country M.

She had seen news reports about him before, so no wonder she felt he looked familiar just now.

It's really a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

Mr. Fox smiled and said, "You recognized it so quickly. You are a very smart girl."

Gu Jinlan smiled.

If she still can't recognize this, she really shouldn't be in this world anymore.

"Then please." Mr. Fox extended his hand to Gu Jinlan in a gentlemanly manner.

Gu Jinlan took his arm and returned to the dance floor.

While dancing, the two exchanged a few brief words. Mr. Fox was a very wise man and did not ask about Gu Jinlan's identity.

The dance ended and the two left the dance floor.

Before Gu Jinlan could speak, Mr. Fox asked, "The person you are looking for is Mr. K, right?"

Gu Jinlan was very surprised, "How did you know?"

"It's not hard to guess," said Mr. Fox. "Many of the guests here tonight know each other. You came here alone, and everything around you seems strange to you. And the only person who can make people look for him is Mr. K, who has never appeared in public."

Gu Jinlan asked quickly: "Then can you tell me who Mr. K is?"

"Of course, I promised you." Mr. Fox nodded slightly, then turned his head and looked through the crowd at Shi Ye's figure.

He smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. K is also looking for someone tonight."

Gu Jinlan didn't understand what Mr. Fox meant, and looked in the direction he was looking with a puzzled look.

I saw the man in the black suit and silver mask again.

Seeing that the man was looking around, Gu Jinlan immediately understood what Mr. Fox meant.

"I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome. I should be the one thanking you for dancing with me."

Gu Jinlan bowed slightly to Mr. Fox, then lifted her skirt and walked towards Mr. K.

Before I got close, I saw Mr. K take a glass of wine from the tray carried by the waiter and turn to walk towards the terrace outside the banquet hall.

Gu Jinlan also went to get a glass of wine and followed.

On the terrace, Shi Ye held the cup in one hand and leaned on the glass railing with the other, sighing in disappointment.

Just now, after he caught up with the figure that looked like Lan Lan, he discovered that the girl was not Lan Lan at all.

Was his judgment wrong?

Lanlan won’t show up tonight?

I really want to call her and ask her where she is, but if she knew that I secretly followed her to Country M, she would definitely be very angry.

It is too difficult to help her secretly.

Putting the wine glass to his lips and preparing to drink, Shi Ye suddenly heard the sound of high heels.

He turned his head and looked, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It's that 'black rose' again.

She was seen walking towards him, holding a wine glass in one hand and the hem of her skirt in the other.

Shi Ye didn't have the heart to deal with anyone at the moment. He turned around and prepared to leave, but heard her shout, "Please stay!"

Shi Ye suddenly stopped.

It was very quiet on the terrace, and I could clearly hear the girl's voice, which sounded familiar.

Gu Jinlan quickened her pace and came in front of Shi Ye. She opened her red lips slightly and was about to speak, but she sneezed.

My nose suddenly felt itchy and I sneezed twice in a row.

"Sorry." She turned her head, took off the mask directly, and rubbed the tip of her nose gently.

When he saw the beautiful profile under the mask, Shi Ye's heart suddenly started beating wildly, and a hint of joy appeared at the corners of his lips.

"Lanlan!" he called out excitedly in his heart.

He looked Gu Jinlan up and down again with surprised eyes.

He had never seen her wearing such a sweet style of puffy skirt, and he didn't even recognize her just now!

Almost missed her.

Fortunately, she came to me on her own initiative.

It seems that his guess and judgment were correct. What Lan Lan was going to do in Country M this time was related to several major forces in Country M.

Otherwise she wouldn't be here tonight and wouldn't have come to him.

After rubbing his nose a few times, Gu Jinlan felt much better. He put the mask back on and looked back at Shi Ye, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Shi Ye wanted to say something but stopped himself, suppressing his excited heart.

She sneezed so many times that she seemed to have caught a cold.

She clearly promised him that she would protect herself, but she couldn't even take care of her own body.

How could he not worry?

Gu Jinlan extended her hand towards Shi Ye, "Hello, my name is Quan Yuxi."

A playful smile appeared at the corner of Shi Ye's lips.

Quan Yuxi?

He managed to get in by getting a fake identity. He really has some skills.

Shi Ye coughed lightly, "What's the matter?"

He tried to make his voice sound deeper and speak less.

So that she wouldn't recognize the voice and discover my identity.

No matter how he asked before, she insisted on not telling him about her situation in Country M.

If he took off his mask and revealed his identity now, he would not be able to understand what she was trying to do.

"Mr. K must be a smart man. I won't beat around the bush. I came here just for you tonight." Gu Jinlan said.

If she lied to get close to someone of Mr. K's level, it would only cause him to feel disgusted and suspicious.

Only by stating your purpose directly can you make him let down his guard.

Shi Ye was a little surprised, "How do you know I'm Mr. K?"
