After leaving the Ye family, Gu Jinlan let out a long sigh.

Every time I come back, I feel very bad.

It would be nice if I could bring grandma to live with me.

But for grandma, this is her home. No matter how bad Ye Hongyu is, he is still grandma's biological son after all.

After getting in the car, Xiao Li glanced at Gu Jinlan in the rearview mirror and saw that she was in a low mood. He asked, "Miss Gu, you seem unhappy. Did someone from the Ye family bully you?"

Gu Jinlan asked in surprise: "How do you know this is the Ye family?"

She remembered that this was the first time Xiao Li sent her to the Ye family.

To the outside world, no one except Shi Ye knew about her relationship with the Ye family.

Xiao Li said: "When President Shi asked me to send you back, he told me to tell him if you were bullied in the Ye family."

But Miss Gu didn't let him go in, so he didn't know what happened inside.

One can only guess by her expression.

Gu Jinlan was stunned. Shi Ye actually cared about her so much?

Seeing her surprise, Xiao Li grinned at her, "Didn't expect it? I didn't expect that my Mr. Shi actually had this side. How do you put it? A tough guy with a soft side!"

Gu Jinlan burst out laughing.

I usually see Xiao Li as a quiet person, but I didn’t expect that he talks a lot in private. It seems that he usually restrains himself under Shi Ye’s pressure.

When they arrived at Jinhua Mansion, Xiao Li helped Gu Jinlan with her luggage and personally escorted her into the house before leaving.

Ah Ling came out from the kitchen, "Madam, you're back."

Gu Jinlan asked: "Why are you here?"

She has not contacted A Ling.

Ah Ling said: "My husband said he would be back tonight, so he asked me to prepare dinner in advance."

Gu Jinlan nodded. He had arranged everything.

A Ling took the bag from Gu Jinlan's hand and said, "Madam, you must be tired from the journey. Do you want to take a hot bath? I'll go get some water."

Gu Jinlan asked: "Did he arrange this too?"

He thinks he is the emperor, and he is finally going to visit her, a concubine raised in the cold palace. And she has to take a fragrant bath in advance to receive him?

"What?" A Ling was stunned.

"Just kidding." Gu Jinlan said, "Go to the kitchen and do your work. Don't worry about me."

"Okay then, call me if you need anything."

Gu Jinlan returned to the bedroom and had just changed into comfortable home clothes when she received an international long-distance call.

On the other end of the phone, the man's voice was hoarse, "Lan, good news."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan was overjoyed, "Any progress?"

The man was her good friend who had been through thick and thin with her abroad. His name was Si Mo, a true top genius.

Si Mo said: "Well, we are finally not standing still."

"That's great." Gu Jinlan looked at the setting sun outside the window that was about to disappear into the horizon, as if she saw the sunrise, full of hope, "Si Mo, thank you and Qingli for your hard work."

If it weren't for the two of them fighting alongside her behind her, she would have given up hope in life long ago and would not have been able to hold on until now.

"You are the one who has worked hard. You have shouldered so much by yourself." Si Mo's tone revealed a trace of heartache. "Because of you, I can concentrate on my research without any worries."

Gu Jinlan smiled, "Well, I'm not tired, so let's not be polite to each other. I'm having fun in the colorful world outside. If I stay in the lab every day, I'll go crazy. I don't have your brain. Besides, not all the money I earn is given to you for research. By the way, is the research and development funding enough? If not, just tell me anytime. Sisters are not short of money."

Si Mo also smiled and said, "It's enough. You just transferred a sum of money last month. Has your body's rejection reaction changed recently?"

Gu Jinlan said: "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. You can still take the anti-rejection medicine for a month or two."

Si Mo said: "Okay, I'll ask Qingli to bring it to you when the time comes."

Gu Jinlan said, "There's no need to bother her with the trip. Just let her stay with you and take care of you. You can just mail it."

Si Mo insisted, "It's not safe to send it by mail. I can only feel at ease if I hand it to you in person. And Qingli also said that she missed you and wanted to come and see you."

Gu Jinlan knew that Si Mo had obsessive-compulsive disorder and was very cautious in doing things, so she said, "Okay, let her send it over. Don't blame me for taking her to play with male models when the time comes."

Si Mo laughed a few times, "Okay, take her to have some meat."

Gu Jinlan asked: "Do you really agree?"

Si Mo said seriously, "Why would I disagree? As long as your husband agrees, that's fine."

When Shi Ye was mentioned, Gu Jinlan suddenly fell silent.

Shi Ye knew her identity, but he kept dragging his feet and not recognizing her. It was hard to figure out what he was thinking.

Si Mo was quick to notice something was wrong and asked, "Is there something wrong? Did you see him?"

Gu Jinlan said, "I saw it."

Si Mo asked again: "How is he? Is he good to you?"

Gu Jinlan glanced at the time and estimated that Shi Ye would be here soon. "Si Mo, let's talk when you are free. I have something else to do."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinlan went to the dressing room to choose clothes.

It was a bit casual to wear home clothes when meeting my husband for the first time.

She took out a few sets of clothes and tried them on in front of the mirror.

Suddenly I noticed the smile on my face in the mirror.

What are you so happy about? It's not really the first time I've seen you.

He had even seen her in the miserable state of falling into the water, so there was no need for her to dress up.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinlan instantly lost interest and threw the clothes back.

She had lunch on the plane at noon and was feeling a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Ah Ling said, "Madam, it will be ready soon. I made some desserts this afternoon. You can have some to fill your stomach first."

"Okay, Sister A Ling is really clever and skillful." Gu Jinlan picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of mango double skin milk, "Wow, delicious!"

Ah Ling looked at her and said with a smile, "Most girls like to eat strawberries. I originally wanted to make strawberry daifuku for my wife, but then I looked through my notes and remembered that my husband had told me before that my wife was allergic to strawberries."

Gu Jinlan took another bite of the mango double skin milk.

He is careful.

When I first moved in, I saw that he knew me so well that I actually thought he had investigated me privately.

At that time, she wondered how he could investigate so clearly and carefully.

Ah Ling added: "This is the first time I've seen you in such a good mood, ma'am. It seems like you and your husband have a really good relationship. Now that he's coming back, you've completely changed."

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, biting the spoon, "Are there any changes?"

Ah Ling: "Yes, you didn't talk to me so much before, and you didn't seem to like desserts that much."

She could feel that the lady was a good person, but she didn't talk much and had a cold and aloof temperament that kept strangers away.

Sometimes she didn't dare talk too much to her wife, and she would leave quickly after finishing her housework, for fear of disturbing her wife's peace and quiet.

Gu Jinlan took another bite of the dessert: "The dessert you made is delicious. Eating delicious food will make me feel good."

Ah Ling said: "That's because my wife is so happy, so everything tastes good."

"..." Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "If you say so, then so be it."

She was in a really good mood at the moment.

But it wasn’t because Shi Ye was finally willing to see her.

It was because there was finally progress on Si Mo's side, which gave her hope for her future life again.

At the same time, Shi Ye had already arrived at the underground garage.
