Gu Jinlan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

In just a few seconds, several guesses flashed through my mind.

Is he going to tell him about Shu Yi?

Are you going to bring Shu Yi to see Ranran?

Or should she give up the position of Madam Shi to Shu Yi?

……

Taking a deep breath, Gu Jinlan answered the phone.

She didn't say anything. Shi Ye's very charming voice came from the receiver of the phone, "Lan Lan, what are you doing?"

Gu Jinlan said: "I just smoked a cigarette on the terrace and was about to go and accompany Ranran."

Hearing that Shi Ye might have something to say, she quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Anyway, she has prepared for the worst.

No matter what Shi Ye said, she could face it calmly.

Shi Ye said: "I have asked Xiao Li to go back and pick you up. Come to my place. There is something I want to tell you in person."

Gu Jinlan pursed her lips and said, "Okay."

"See you later."

"See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinlan felt a little uneasy.

Shi Ye didn't come back to talk to her, but asked her to go out to talk. Was it to avoid Ranran?

It was so formal and serious, it seemed that what he was saying to her would not be nice.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Gu Jinlan strode into the house.

No matter what Shi Ye wants to say, she must face it and cannot escape.

Back in the children's study, Gu Jinlan came to Shi Xingran's side.

"Ranran, my dad asked me to go out for a while. I have to go see him now. I can't accompany you. Is that okay?"

Shi Xingran quickly put down the building blocks in his hand, stood up and said, "Mom, I will go with you! If Dad bullies you, I can protect you."

Lu Yao also stood up and said, "I will go with you, Madam, to protect you!"

Looking at the concerned expressions on the two little guys' faces, Gu Jinlan smiled gently.

She stretched out her hands, one hand touching a little head, "Just play at home, and go to bed when you are tired."

Ah Ling walked over and said, "The husband loves his wife so much, how could he bully her? You two should stop being the light bulbs."

Shi Xingran frowned slightly, still worried, "But why did Dad ask Mom to go out so late? It's weird."

Gu Jinlan was slightly stunned. It seemed that she was not overthinking. Even Ranran felt that Shi Ye’s behavior was a bit abnormal.

I have to admit that Ranran's perception and intuition are very sharp, and he doesn't act like a four-year-old child at all.

In order not to make him worry, Gu Jinlan said, "Of course a date should be romantic at night."

Shi Xingran blinked blankly, "Is it a date?"

Gu Jinlan nodded: "Yes."

A Ling urged, "Madam, please go quickly. Don't keep your husband waiting for too long. I will take good care of Ranran."

"Okay." Gu Jinlan leaned over and kissed Shi Xingran on the cheek, "Then if you're tired from playing, go to bed early and don't wait for us."

Shi Xingran nodded obediently.

Gu Jinlan turned and left, not noticing that Lu Yao was looking at her with longing eyes.

She also wanted her wife to kiss her.

Not long after Gu Jinlan came downstairs, Xiao Li came to pick her up.

After getting in the car, she looked out the window without saying a word.

Xiao Li looked at her in the rearview mirror and couldn't help asking, "Madam, why didn't you ask me where I was taking you?"

Gu Jinlan said calmly, "You'll know when you get there."

Xiao Li looked at her with more admiration in an instant.

Xiao Li and Jiang Kun both tacitly thought that Mr. Shi was going to have an affair when he came to the hotel tonight.

Earlier, while waiting in the hotel parking lot, he was still feeling sorry for his wife.

After a while, he received a call from Brother Kun, asking him to come back and pick up his wife, but he didn't say why.

But he felt that something big was bound to happen tonight!

The lady was so calm and composed in the face of danger, which showed her inner strength and made him admire her very much!

Looking at Gu Jinlan's graceful profile in the rearview mirror, Xiao Li said again: "Madam, you are so good. If he loses you in the future, it will definitely be his loss."

Gu Jinlan turned around and looked at Xiao Li in surprise, "Are you comforting me?"

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I guess so."

Gu Jinlan asked again: "Why are you comforting me? What happened?"

Xiao Li quickly avoided Gu Jinlan's questioning eyes in the rearview mirror and looked straight at the road ahead. "Nothing... nothing, I just suddenly had this feeling."

Gu Jinlan gently pulled the corner of his lips.

Xiao Li's reaction once again proved that she was not just imagining things.

Even Xiao Li was comforting her. It seemed that he knew something about Shi Ye and that woman.

"Xiao Li, you told me this, aren't you afraid that your family will know?"

In the past, she thought that those who could stay with Shi Ye were loyal to him and had no ulterior motives.

But recently she had an illusion that sometimes she felt that Special Assistant Jiang and Xiao Li seemed closer to her.

Xiao Li said: "Madam is a good person. I believe she will not tell Mr. Shi."

Gu Jinlan said, "Thank you. If I ever break up with Mr. Shi, you can come and work with me. I promise you will be treated better than you are now."

Xiao Li shook his head without hesitation, "That won't do. As long as Mr. Shi doesn't chase me away, I will only follow him for the rest of my life. I will be his person in life and his soul in death!"

Gu Jinlan couldn't help but smile, "You are quite loyal."

It seems that it was really her illusion.

At this moment, she finally understood why Shi Ye kept Jiang Kun and Xiao Li by his side even though they sometimes didn't seem very smart.

Jiang Kun was already waiting at the hotel entrance.

When the Maybach stopped at the door of the hotel, he immediately stepped forward and opened the door for Gu Jinlan.

"Ma'am, please come this way."

Jiang Kun took Gu Jinlan to the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel.

When he reached the entrance of the coffee shop, Jiang Kun stopped.

"Madam, Mr. Shi is waiting for you inside. I won't accompany you there. If you have anything to say, please communicate calmly."

Gu Jinlan frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Kun.

Jiang Kun's behavior was the same as Xiao Li's, as if they both knew some inside information.

Facing her puzzled look, Jiang Kun smiled, stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Jinlan smiled helplessly, turned and walked into the coffee shop.

There were few people in the hotel's cafe, with only two or three tables of people sitting there.

Shi Ye's outstanding appearance can attract people's attention at first sight.

She saw him at a glance, as well as Qingli who was sitting in the corner behind him.

Her short red hair and thick smoky makeup make her stand out in the crowd at first sight.

Shi Ye and Qing Li both looked at her.

A smile of surprise appeared in Qingli's eyes. She thought Gu Jinlan was looking for her, so she raised her hand and waved at her.

Seeing Qingli's lips moving slightly and he was about to call her, Gu Jinlan quickly touched her lips.

Qingli immediately retracted the hand that was raised in the air, scratched his short hair, and continued to drink from the glass as if nothing had happened.

This was a tacit hint between them. As long as Gu Jinlan touched her lips, Qingli knew that he should not get close to her at this time.

Gu Jinlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect Shi Ye and Qing Li to appear in the coffee shop at the same time.

If Shi Ye knew that Qingli was her friend abroad, he would definitely investigate Qingli thoroughly.
