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

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Jinlan followed.

You can avoid the first grade of junior high school, but you can't avoid the fifteenth grade.

In the wine cellar, Shi Ye had already opened a bottle of wine and sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

Gu Jinlan walked over reluctantly and sat down on the sofa opposite him.

Shi Ye glanced at her, suddenly shook his head and chuckled, shaking off the cigarette ash, "Stop pretending."

His smile was sinister, making Gu Jinlan feel even more uneasy. "What am I pretending for?"

"Don't pretend to be afraid of me. I know you're not." Shi Ye patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit here."

"I'm not pretending. Just say whatever you want to say. Don't be like this." Gu Jinlan sat still in his seat, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to ease his nervous mood.

"How about not being like this?"

"I know you are very angry now. You don't have to suppress your emotions. Just get angry if you want to."

If he had just exploded, she might not have been so upset.

But he didn't get angry, and instead acted sarcastic, which made her nervous and uneasy.

It feels like you know there is a bomb next to you, but you don’t know when it will explode, and you are always on edge.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

It would be more satisfying if it just exploded.

Shi Ye suddenly laughed softly, and it was unclear whether he was happy or angry.

Gu Jinlan couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine and sighed helplessly, "Please don't be like this, okay? I just didn't want you to get to know my friend, so I lied. It's not that serious, right?"

Shi Ye's laughter suddenly stopped, and his cold black eyes stared at her, "Are you sure it's just an insignificant lie?"

"You've told more than one lie, and you're lying to me now too!"

"You don't want me to meet your friend, not because you're worried that she'll make me angry because of her bad personality, but because you're hiding something from me and don't want me to know!"

"And the things you hid from me are related to your friend, or your friend knows everything about you!"

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "You are making things too complicated."

She stretched out her slender arm, picked up the cigarette in front of Shi Ye, lit one for herself, and took a lazily puff.

Shi Ye looked at her with disappointment, "You just don't want to tell me the truth, right?"

Gu Jinlan slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and felt a lot more relaxed.

He looked at Shi Ye through the smoke, "Aye, I don't want you to know my friend, just to avoid unnecessary trouble. This is the truth, my real thought."

Shi Ye asked: "Are you afraid of causing trouble for me, or are you afraid that I will cause trouble for you?"

Gu Jinlan shook her head. "That's not the point."

Shi Ye frowned and stared at her, "Then what's the point?"

Gu Jinlan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him.

She took a deep puff of the cigarette and smiled helplessly, "Well, since you believe that I am hiding something from you, no matter what I say now, you will not believe it."

"Yes, I admit that there are some things I didn't tell you, but that is my privacy and I hope you can respect that."

"Although we are husband and wife now, we should also give each other space to be free."

Shi Ye said: "But I have no privacy with you, and I am completely open with you. Doesn't that mean I can't gain your trust in me?"

Gu Jinlan said: "You are willing to tell me your story. That is your own choice. I have never forced you to ask anything."

Shi Ye frowned, "I agree that couples should give each other space and freedom, but shouldn't two people who love each other be completely open to each other? Trust is the foundation of love."

"I'm sorry." Gu Jinlan bit her lip, "But my feelings for you haven't reached the point of loving you very much yet."

Shi Ye was stunned, and lowered his eyes slightly, with a look of frustration.

Gu Jinlan smiled at him pretending to be relaxed, "Have you forgotten? I said at the beginning that I had not considered going all the way with you. We agreed to let nature take its course."

Shi Ye kept staring at her, with a hint of red in the corners of his eyes.

Being looked at like that by him, Gu Jinlan felt a little suffocated.

She didn't have the courage to look him in the eye again, so she quickly lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze.

She put out the cigarette in her hand, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. "So, don't have too much hope in me. I can't bear it, and I'm not worth you to pay anything for me."

After saying that, Gu Jinlan put down his wine glass, stood up and was about to leave.

Shi Ye's Adam's apple moved, and he finally spoke, but his voice became hoarse: "You suddenly told me this, is it... because of Shu Yi's appearance? Her identity has not been confirmed yet."

He became more and more anxious as he spoke, "And I said, even if she is Ranran's biological mother, it won't affect us..."

Gu Jinlan interrupted: "No, it has nothing to do with her."

She had her back to Shi Ye, not daring to turn around to see his expression at the moment, "Whether she is there or not, I still think the same way."

"Gu Jinlan, is your heart made of stone? I thought you already..." Shi Ye didn't finish his words and laughed at himself.

He had already poured out his sincere heart to her, thinking that she felt it, and that they were already one.

Unexpectedly, I still couldn't warm her heart.

Gu Jinlan took a deep breath secretly, trying to make her voice sound calm and calm, "Yes, I am a rather cold person. Maybe I just don't have the ability to love, so don't waste your feelings on me anymore."

After saying this, she walked away, not daring to stay a moment longer.

She was afraid that if she stayed for one more second, she would become soft-hearted and regret it.

She admitted that Shu Yi's appearance made her feel uneasy.

When Shu Yi was talking tonight, she had been observing Shu Yi.

Shu Yi's expression when he spoke didn't seem like he was lying.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Shu Yi had rehearsed countless times before meeting Shi Ye, so he was able to perform so flawlessly that no one could notice any problems.

The highest level of lying is to hypnotize yourself first. Only when you believe it completely, can what you say make others believe it as well.

There was another point she had to admit. If Shu Yi was really Ranran's biological mother, then what Ranran needed more was a biological mother rather than her stepmother.

What really made her decide not to continue to get close to Shi Ye was what Qingli said to her in the afternoon.

When she asked Si Mo about the progress of his research before, Si Mo only told her the good news and not the bad news.

Qingli had already told her that the research was not going so smoothly.

So she doesn't have much time left.

The more Shi Ye loved her, the more she couldn't drag him into the abyss.

Rather than letting him be sad and upset when he loses her in the future, it is better to let him think that she is a heartless woman who is not worthy of his true love.

This way, when she leaves in the future, he won't be heartbroken for her.
