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

Gu Jinlan asked again: "Are there any conflicts between you and William that have not been resolved? I see that your relationship has improved a lot this time."

Xia Ni'an shook her head. "It's not me and him, it's him and Master Shi. I hope that his relationship with Master Shi can be as harmonious and friendly as you and your long-lost family. William only has Master Shi as his brother. If he can get along well with Master Shi, he will no longer feel so lonely inside, and his personality should change a lot."

Gu Jinlan seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xia Ni'an asked: "There is no one that the Tenth Master can trust among his cousins. Don't you want him to have another relative he can trust? If the two of them can get along well and help each other, they will be a strong team, and no one will be able to compete with them."

Gu Jinlan smiled helplessly, "Of course I hope that Aye can provide more help, but the relationship between the two of them is different from the relationship between me and the Zhao family, so we can't use them for comparison and reference."

Shanian asked: "So you think it's hard to get close to them?"

"I don't know. I can only let nature take its course. No one knows what will happen in the future." Gu Jinlan said, "Sometimes, the king is destined to be lonely. They are actually the same kind of people."

“…” Shanian sighed and fell into silence.

Gu Jinlan comforted him, "Okay, don't worry about these things. At least for now, they are definitely not enemies."

Shanian nodded, a faint smile on her lips, "Well, let's go and have some coffee."

Just as Gu Jinlan expected, after she and Xia Nian left, the two strong-willed and face-conscious men quickly settled the matter.

Gu Jinlan and Xia Nian were drinking coffee and chatting and laughing about parenting experiences when Shi Ye came over.

Gu Jinlan put down the coffee cup and asked, "Have you guys finished talking?"

"It's settled." Shi Ye took Gu Jinlan's hand.

Just as they were about to leave, William followed and called them.

"By the way, I also know what happened in your manor yesterday. If you need my help, just let me know. That person should be our common enemy."

The "that person" William mentioned refers to Yan Yi.

He once learned from his mother's nonsense that Yan Yi had hunted his mother before he was born.

Yan Yi didn't give up until his mother hid back in the Roland family.

Later, when he grew up, he was persecuted repeatedly in the Roland family, including Yan Yi's people.

Shi Ye turned around and looked at William, "That's my family matter, you don't need to intervene."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan looked up at Shi Ye in surprise and noticed a dark color in his eyes.

He was talking about family matters, which meant that in his heart, he still considered Yan Yi a family member, right?

William smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see how Master Shi can handle such family affairs."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Jinlan meaningfully and opened his arms slightly, "If the Tenth Master disappoints you one day, you can always come to me."

"Brother!" Shanian shouted quickly and shook her head at William.

Shi Ye ignored her and took Gu Jinlan away.

As soon as the two walked out, Xia Nian asked William helplessly, “Brother, you obviously want to get close to Master Shi in your heart, why do you say that kind of words to anger him?”

William spread his hands, looking indifferent, “Who said I want to get close to him?”

After saying that, William turned around and left, continuing to bask in the sun at the beach.

After leaving the villa, Gu Jinlan asked Shi Ye: "Did your discussion with William go smoothly?"

"It's OK, we've finished the conversation."

"So how do you plan to deal with Fan Wen?"

Shi Ye stopped, took Gu Jinlan's hands with both of his own, and looked at her tenderly.

"Lanlan, you've had such a hard time in the past few years. Now that you're married to me, I hope you can live a carefree life by my side. So don't worry about some things. I can handle them."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "Okay."

It is not difficult to deal with Fan Wen. With the two strong men joining forces, there will be results soon. She really doesn't need to worry.

What worries her most right now is Yan Yi.

-

On the third day after the wedding, Shi Ye took Gu Jinlan back home according to custom.

As soon as the couple walked into the Zhao family's house, they found that the atmosphere in the house was not right. Everyone looked solemn, and no one even noticed that they were coming.

Zhao Jinchen was the first to see them standing at the door. He quickly stood up and said in surprise, "Lanlan, Aye, why are you here?"

Hearing the voice, the other members of the Zhao family saw Gu Jinlan and Shi Ye, and everyone stood up and greeted them enthusiastically.

Shi Ye said: "Today is the day to visit the parents' parents. I will bring Lan Lan back to see you."

"Oh, yes!" Zhao Zihua slapped his forehead, "It is a custom. We thought you and Lan Lan would not be so particular about formalities. We didn't know you would come back today."

Shi Ye said: "Lan Lan has a family now, so we should still be considerate of her."

This is how much he cherishes Lan Lan.

It is also to make the Zhao family feel valued, so that the people in the Zhao family will love Lan Lan more.

Some feelings, even family feelings, are mutual.

Yan Ziyin smiled awkwardly, "Aye, you are so thoughtful. It's our fault for neglecting it. We were afraid that you and Lanlan didn't have time, so we didn't ask you if you wanted to go back."

Shi Ye realized that they actually came at the wrong time. "I should have told Jinchen in advance. I came here suddenly. I hope I didn't disturb you guys."

"How could that be!" Zhao Jinchen said quickly, "We are a family now, so we are not allowed to say such polite words."

Yun Luoxi came forward and took Gu Jinlan's arm, grinning, "Lanlan, we are really in sync. I was planning to come find you later."

The arrival of Gu Jinlan and Shi Ye eased the atmosphere in the living room, and everyone had a smile on their face.

But Gu Jinlan could still see that they were worried.

She asked directly: "Were you talking about something unhappy just now?"

The smiles on everyone's faces froze.

Zhao Jingchuan smiled and denied: "It's nothing serious."

Gu Jinlan pursed her lips and asked again: "I am already a member of this family. Is there anything else that is inconvenient for you to tell me?"

She has accepted the Zhao family, and now in her heart, the people of the Zhao family are her closest relatives whom she must protect.

Zhao Jinchen quickly explained: "No, Lanlan, don't think too much."

Seeing that the two brothers were keeping their mouths shut, Gu Jinlan turned his inquiring gaze to Yun Luoxi beside him.

Seeing Yun Luoxi's evasive expression, she was sure that both Zhao Jinchen and Zhao Jingchuan were lying.

At this time, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs came from the entrance, accompanied by Zhao Jinche's voice:

"Dad, Mom, my friends in Country M went to my second brother's laboratory to look for him, but didn't see him. I heard from the people in the laboratory that he hasn't been to the laboratory for a few days..."

Halfway through his words, Zhao Jinche saw Gu Jinlan and Shi Ye sitting on the sofa, "Lanlan, Brother Ye!"

Seeing that his parents and his eldest and third brothers were all giving him looks, Zhao Jinche quickly pursed his lips.

Gu Jinlan turned around and looked at them, and they quickly returned to their normal expressions.

She frowned slightly: "Did something happen to Zhao Jinheng?"
