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

"Don't worry, I understand." Gu Jinlan said, "Even if you don't remind them, I won't let them know."

The eldest brother and the third brother are naturally trustworthy people, but the more people know, the greater the risk of it being leaked.

Moreover, she didn't want the Zhao family to know what she had done in the past.

If they knew about this, they would not let her go alone to rescue Zhao Jinheng.

When she meets Zhao Jinheng, she doesn't plan to let Zhao Jinheng recognize her.

After finishing the call with Si Mo, Gu Jinlan turned around and went to find Shi Ye.

When she arrived at Shi Ye's study, she stopped.

How should I tell Aye?

To be honest, Aye would definitely be worried about her.

Even if it's a lie, with Aye's sharp mind, he will be able to find clues.

Gu Jinlan pinched his brows in distress and began to think.

The only downside to having a family is that you can no longer be as free and do whatever you want as before.

Because there is a sweet and happy responsibility on my shoulders.

At this moment, the door of the study suddenly opened and Shi Ye appeared at the door.

"Lanlan, what are you doing standing here?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled, "I came to see you. I didn't know if your video conference was over yet. I was afraid that going in would affect your work."

"It's over." Shi Ye gently took Gu Jinlan's hand, "I was just about to go find you."

Gu Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's over so soon, are you sure you worked hard and didn't slack off?"

Speaking of which, Shi Ye has seldom been to the group recently, and has obvious signs of slacking off at work.

Shi Ye nodded seriously, "Of course I'm working hard."

Gu Jinlan tilted her head slightly, looked closely at Shi Ye's seemingly serious eyes, and blinked gently, "How can someone who works hard still take time out of his busy schedule to post on Weibo?"

Shi Ye was stunned for a moment, his eyes dodged, and he awkwardly clenched his fist to his nose and coughed softly, "You...saw it."

"Yeah." Gu Jinlan hugged Shi Ye's waist with both hands, got into his arms, looked up at him, "Excuse me?"

"No." Shi Ye said proudly, "I just want those people to shut up. I don't want to hear anyone say a bad word about you."

Gu Jinlan said: "But I remember that before, you didn't care about other people's opinions and didn't bother about those insignificant people at all."

Shi Ye lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Now because I care about you, I care about you."

Gu Jinlan suddenly felt warm in her heart, and her whole heart was about to melt into his gentle and affectionate eyes.

Feeling the warmth in his arms and smelling his unique fragrance, at this moment she suddenly didn't want to go anywhere.

I just want to stick by his side every moment of every day.

She forced herself out of Shi Ye's arms and said, "Come in, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Gu Jinlan suddenly become serious, Shi Ye narrowed his eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart, "What happened?"

Gu Jinlan had already walked into the study.

Shi Ye turned around and followed in.

She turned to look at him and said, "I can't go back to the old house with you tomorrow."

"Why?" Shi Ye's handsome eyebrows sank, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, don't worry. Si Mo just called me and I have to go over to take care of something in person. I'll be back in a few days."

"I won't let you go unless you tell me what's going on." Shi Ye said in a strong tone. He strode up to Gu Jinlan and pulled her into his arms, pressing his strong and powerful hands on her lower back.

Gu Jinlan smiled helplessly.

I knew that I couldn’t hide it from Shi Ye.

No matter how suitable the excuse she came up with was, he would still be suspicious.

She didn't want to go through the same process as last time, when Shi Ye left Ranran alone and secretly followed her to Country M.

So, she confessed: "Go save Zhao Jinheng."

Shi Ye was surprised, "There's news about him so soon?"

Gu Jinlan told Shi Ye the details.

After hearing this, Shi Ye fell into silence, but the hand pressing on Gu Jinlan's lower back kept exerting gentle force, refusing to let her go.

"Aye, I..."

Without waiting for Gu Jinlan to finish, Shi Ye said, "Go ahead."

Gu Jinlan was stunned and looked at him in surprise, "Do you agree?"

She thought that after Shi Ye knew about it, it would take a long time of persuasion before he could reluctantly agree.

I didn't expect that he didn't even say a word of objection.

"On one side is the favor you owe me, and on the other side are your relatives. No matter which side you are, it is a reason for you to go. Even if I lock you up at home, you will find ways to go."

After saying that, Shi Ye finally let her go, picked up the cigarette on the table, and walked to the window.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Gu Jinlan muttered softly: "But you are still unhappy in your heart."

Shi Ye didn't answer and lit a cigarette.

Bluish-white smoke rose up, blocking the expression in his eyes.

Gu Jinlan walked over and wanted to see his expression clearly. Just as she was about to tell him not to worry, he spoke first.

"Lanlan, I've said before that our marriage will not be a cage that binds you. You will always be yourself, and you will not completely become Shi Xingran's mother, or Shi Ye's wife. As long as you are honest with me and don't hide anything, I will support you no matter what you want to do."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan's eyes suddenly felt sore.

She looked at Shi Ye's handsome profile faintly visible under the smoke with emotion.

At this time, Shi Ye turned his head to look at him, his voice extremely heavy, "I just want to ask, is it safe?"

Gu Jinlan nodded vigorously and hurriedly, "Safe! Absolutely safe!"

Shi Ye's voice sank slightly. "How can there be absolute safety? If it wasn't extremely dangerous, how could Mr. Chen find you?"

Gu Jinlan pursed her lips lightly.

There is no absolute safety when carrying out a mission.

So she used to live every day as if it were her last.

But she didn't want Shi Ye to worry, so she smiled and said, "Mr. Chen came to me because I'm very capable. No one else can do this except me."

"Are you that capable?"

"Of course." Gu Jinlan raised his chin proudly. "If you don't believe me, go ask around. I used to be the ace in that place. There was no mission I couldn't accomplish."

Shi Yexuan’s frown furrowed even tighter.

At this moment, he was actually somewhat glad that Yan Yi had trained Gu Jinlan to have abilities that at least allowed her to protect herself.

"Don't worry." Gu Jinlan coquettishly took Shi Ye's arm, "I will come back safely, and I won't give you the chance to find a stepmother for Ranran."

Looking at Gu Jinlan's pair of bright and smiling eyes, Shi Ye had no intention of joking with her. His brows were still furrowed and his face was cold.

"Do you have to go alone? Can't we have more people?"

Gu Jinlan said: "Yes, Si Mo's arrangement will not be wrong. When we get there, we will discuss it in detail based on the situation."

Shi Ye sneered, "How is it right? Last time I asked you to steal the medicine alone, didn't you almost die there?"
