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

Zhao Jinchen stood up quickly and said, "I'll go take a look."

Zhao Jinheng and Zhao Jingchuan also stood up and followed.

Zhao Zihua hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhao Jinche, "Jinche, you stay here with Lanlan, let's go up and take a look."

Afterwards, the Zhao couple also went upstairs, leaving only Gu Jinlan and Zhao Jinche in the living room.

Zhao Jinche glanced at Gu Jinlan.

When he was pursuing Gu Jinlan before, he wished so much to have some time alone with her. But now that they were alone, he felt a little embarrassed and even felt ashamed and guilty.

Zhao Jinche scratched the back of his head, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the cigarettes on the table, took out one and handed it to Gu Jinlan.

"Do you smoke?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him.

He grinned at her, "You must have wanted to smoke for a long time, right? Now it's just the two of us, go ahead and smoke, it's okay, I won't tell my parents."

Gu Jinlan was surprised and couldn't help laughing, "You figured out all this?"

She had always thought that among the four brothers of the Zhao family, Zhao Jinche should be the most brainless and stupid one, but she didn't expect that he had such sharp perception.

Zhao Jinche said: "The way you were craving for cigarettes just now is very similar to how I used to be."

Gu Jinlan took the cigarette, and after Zhao Jinche lit it for her, he also lit one for himself and continued, "When I was 16 or 17 years old and just learned to smoke, I had to hide at home to smoke. After smoking outside, I had to spray some perfume, because if I was discovered, it would be terrible."

Gu Jinlan asked curiously, "How tragic is it?"

Zhao Jinche recalled: "If my parents and eldest brother found out, it would be fine. They would just criticize me harshly. But if my second brother found out, he would beat me up."

"What about the third brother?" Gu Jinlan was stunned as soon as he asked the question.

She actually changed the way she addressed Zhao Jingchuan according to Zhao Jinche's words.

Zhao Jinche looked at her and smiled, "Third brother sometimes helps me cover up."

Gu Jinlan also laughed, "It's quite interesting."

It is indeed a happy thing to grow up in such a loving family.

It's a pity that Zhao Shiyun didn't appreciate the blessings he had and brought about his own destruction.

If Zhao Shiyun could always be obedient, she believed that given the character of the Zhao family, they would not treat Zhao Shiyun unfairly even if she returned to this home.

"You were only 16 or 17 years old at that time. You really shouldn't have smoked." Gu Jinlan asked, "And now you sing, won't smoking affect your voice?"

Zhao Jinche said: "Actually, I rarely smoke. When I first started smoking, I thought it was cool!"

Gu Jinlan smiled, as if all boys would have such childish thoughts during adolescence.

"Now I only smoke a few cigarettes when I'm writing songs." Zhao Jinche asked, "What about you? When did you learn to smoke?"

"About four years ago. I learned it after going abroad."

"Then why did you smoke in the first place?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned.

Zhao Jinche looked at her with concern, "Did you encounter something unhappy?"

Gu Jinlan pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her thoughts, Zhao Jinche said, "It's okay. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. It's all in the past anyway. No matter what you've been through, it will get better in the future!"

Being looked at by Zhao Jinche's gentle and serious eyes, Gu Jinlan felt a little warm in her heart.

When she met Zhao Jinche before, although she knew that he was one year older than her, in her eyes, he was like a boy who had not grown up.

And at this moment, he actually looked a bit like an older brother.

Zhao Jinche retracted his gaze and shook off the ashes from his cigarette. "That was a close call. Fortunately, you didn't agree to my pursuit at the beginning, otherwise it would have been a real mess."

Gu Jinlan smiled faintly, "So everything is destined."

"Actually, when I first knew your identity, I couldn't accept it." Zhao Jinche lowered his eyebrows and took a puff of cigarette.

It was the first time that Gu Jinlan saw such a deep expression on his face, with a hint of sadness.

She hesitated and said, "I'm sorry."

Zhao Jinche looked up at her, raised the corner of his lips, revealing his iconic little canine teeth. A deep look flashed across his face, and his smile was both clear and cynical.

"Why should I apologize? I should be thanking you. If you were really bewitched by my handsome appearance, my brother and my parents would be so angry that they would vomit blood."

Gu Jinlan chuckled a few times.

She had to admit that among the brothers, she felt the most relaxed and comfortable chatting with Zhao Jinche.

As for Zhao Jinheng, they only talked alone once, at Luo Xi's wedding, and they almost got into a fight at that time.

Zhao Jinche put out his cigarette, "You know what? Actually, when I was little, I really wished I was a girl."

"Why?" Gu Jinlan was surprised and widened her eyes slightly. "You...you look normal, are you bi..."

"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Jinche laughed, "I'm a normal man."

He then explained: "Before I was born, there were already three older brothers in the family, but my parents and brothers always hoped that the family would have a girl, so they decided to have me. When they found out that I was a boy, they were very disappointed."

"After they had Yoona, they ignored me even more. Everyone wanted to hold Yoona, but no one held me. I was only one year older than you and Yoona, and I was still a baby at that time."

"When she grew up, it was even worse. She would be beaten for doing something wrong. But no matter what Yoona did wrong, as long as she started crying, everyone would immediately comfort her with sympathy before the tears even fell from her eyes."

Gu Jinlan suppressed her laughter and nodded sympathetically, "That's indeed tragic."

Zhao Jinche: "So, our family is extremely biased towards girls over boys. When you come back in the future, you will definitely not suffer the slightest bit of injustice."

Looking at Zhao Jinche's eyes, Gu Jinlan suddenly realized that he had said so much because he was waiting for her here.

"Lanlan, all the love and favor that Yuner received before originally belonged to you. Although I couldn't accept that you were my little sister at first, now, all of us hope that you can come home."

Gu Jinlan avoided his gaze and raised her hand to push down the hair behind her ear. "Let's... wait for the results to come out."

If she had known that Brother Zhao had this plan, she would not have said that just now.

She was mad at Zhao Shiyun.

But once words are spoken and water is poured out, they cannot be taken back.

When Zhao Shiyun learned that Miss Yang, whom Yun Luoxi brought, was to give him a physical examination, Zhao Shiyun slapped Yun Luoxi in the face.

"Who told you to meddle in other people's business?!" Zhao Shiyun glared at Yun Luoxi, "It was Gu Jinlan who asked you to do this, right? Are you two looking forward to me leaving the Zhao family as soon as possible, so that the Zhao family will belong to you two in the future?"

"Yun Luoxi, I'm telling you, no way!"

Yun Luoxi covered her burning face, resisted the urge to fight back, took a deep breath and said, "Miss Yang was invited by Big Brother, you'd better cooperate!"
