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

Gu Jinlan asked back: "Are you trying to trick me?"

Shi Ye leaned back on the sofa, his posture relaxed, "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to say that you are reluctant to spend money, not because you are stingy, but because you spend money on more important things."

Gu Jinlan also leaned back, "I'm not nervous, I just thought you were secretly investigating me again."

Shi Ye: "But your reaction just now seemed like there was something you didn't want me to know."

Gu Jinlan: "Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know. As a friend, I haven't tried to dig into your privacy. Shouldn't you respect my privacy as well?"

"Stop." Shi Ye raised his hand. "We are here to have lunch happily. Can we please not quarrel?"

Gu Jinlan said seriously: "We didn't quarrel, we were just discussing the matter."

Shi Ye was helpless: "I found that you are really wary. I thought we were good friends who could trust each other, but my unintentional words just now seemed to have touched your line of defense, and you immediately became like a kitten with its fur standing on end."

"You are the kitten." Gu Jinlan rolled his eyes and eased the atmosphere with a joking remark.

Shi Ye smiled and said, "Then you are a hedgehog. If someone tries to get close to you, you will immediately curl yourself up into a ball and use your sharp thorns to protect yourself."

Gu Jinlan: "Thank you. I won't call me an ostrich this time. But you can still think of me as a cat with its fur standing on end. At least I'm cuter than a hedgehog or an ostrich."

Shi Ye nodded, his tone doting, "Okay, Gu Xiaomao."

Gu Jinlan was shocked, "Shi Xiaopi, don't give people nicknames casually!"

Shi Ye was stunned for a moment, "What did you call me?"

"Shi Xiaopi, if you give me a nickname randomly, then I will call you by your nickname from now on. Don't forget, I am close to Madam Shi now, and I can ask her for your other nicknames."

Shi Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She was the second person in the world who dared to call him by his nickname.

But this shows that she is becoming more and more casual in front of him.

He would rather she called him by his nickname than being distant and polite.

While the two were bickering and laughing, the waiter brought the dishes.

Gu Jinlan ate while pretending to play with her phone.

After setting her phone to silent mode, she opened the address book and nervously dialed Song Youze's number. She held her breath and secretly observed Shi Ye's reaction from the corner of her eye.

His cell phone didn't ring.

Gu Jinlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little lost.

Suddenly, Shi Ye raised his eyes and looked at her, "Eat seriously and don't play with your phone."

Gu Jinlan put down the phone obediently.

Shi Ye eats quickly but elegantly.

He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and asked Gu Jinlan: "Aren't Ye Jingwan's adoptive parents in the countryside your biological parents?"

Gu Jinlan stuffed food in her mouth, puffed up her cheeks and looked at him blankly, and said vaguely: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Shi Ye said: "You can also regard your concern for your friend as a boss's care and condolences to his employees."

Gu Jinlan swallowed the food and took a sip of soup, "Thank you."

Shi Ye asked: "Does mentioning this topic make you unhappy?"

"No, I've become indifferent to my own life experience." Gu Jinlan said calmly, "I met Ye Jingwan when her adoptive parents sent them back to the Ye family. At that time, grandma asked us to do a paternity test, and they were not her biological parents."

Shi Ye frowned slightly: "Why?"

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "Who knows?"

Shi Ye asked again: "Didn't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Gu Jinlan shook her head: "No, but as far as I know, grandma went to the hospital to check, and as for the children born that day, as long as my identity and Ye Jingwan's identity do not match, there will be no problem with others."

Shi Ye was puzzled: "This is strange. Since Ye Jingwan's adoptive parents are not your biological parents, then there should be a mistaken child born on that day."

Gu Jinlan shrugged his shoulders, looking as if it had nothing to do with him and he didn't care.

Seeing that she didn't care, Shi Ye asked: "Don't you want to find your biological parents?"

He thought this should be her wish.

The reason I asked was because I wanted to help her find her biological parents.

Want to be as good to her as possible.

Gu Jinlan said without hesitation, "No, she has a good life now, why should I bother her? I'm fine now, and I don't want anyone to disrupt my life. Anyway, we've never met, and we haven't lived together, so there's no feelings for each other."

She already had too many ties in her life.

I don't want to have any more ties before I finish my own work.

Shi Ye stared into Gu Jinlan's eyes, "You sound so heartless, are you afraid to face it?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned, and suddenly felt that the garlic-flavored spareribs in his hand no longer smelled fragrant.

She raised her eyes to look at Shi Ye, "You are really good at guessing people's minds. I admit that this is indeed the reason."

Shi Ye frowned distressedly: "You are worried that they have no feelings for you, and worried that they will not accept your sudden appearance."

People are made of flesh and blood. How could she not want to be reunited with her family at all?

She was all alone and clearly didn't like Song Youze, but in order to escape the Ye family, she still chose to move to Jinhua Mansion.

He really regretted not coming to see her earlier, not recognizing her earlier, leaving her alone and helpless for these years.

Gu Jinlan didn't respond and continued to gnaw on the ribs.

Shi Ye softened his voice, "I think you lack a sense of security and think too much. If your biological parents knew that the child next to them was not their biological child, they would definitely want to find you back."

"I have a friend whose family lost a daughter. My friend and his family have missed that daughter very much over the years."

"And... Ye Jingwan, see how favored she is after returning to the Ye family? It may hurt you to say this, but this is the truth."

"After all, blood ties cannot be replaced by others..."

Gu Jinlan suddenly interrupted, "Is there a possibility? There is no mistaken child around them. I was simply abandoned back then?"

Shi Ye was stunned for a moment, looking at the self-protective indifference in Gu Jinlan's eyes, and said distressedly: "If you don't try to understand, how can you know what the truth is?"

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "That's not necessary."

Shi Ye: "The last time you gave me a psychological test, you told me that running away would not solve the problem."

Gu Jinlan: "I didn't escape. This is not a problem for me at all."

At this time, Jiang Kun hurried into the restaurant and interrupted their conversation.

"Boss Shi, I finally found you. I called you several times."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan's hand holding the pork ribs paused.

Special Assistant Jiang called Shi Ye, but she didn't hear Shi Ye's cell phone ring.

This means that after he answered the call, he turned his phone to silent mode.
