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

Gu Jinlan said, "You also misunderstood Luo Xi. From what I know about her, she is unwilling to tell you. It's not that she has any opinions or ideas about you. It's probably because she feels inferior in her heart and doesn't have the courage to ask you."

Zhao Jingchuan lowered his eyes in doubt.

Gu Jinlan sighed, "Don't be fooled by her lively and cheerful appearance. She is actually very introverted. When she is wronged, she will just keep it in her heart and secretly wipe away her tears by herself."

Hearing Gu Jinlan say this, Zhao Jingchuan felt distressed and asked anxiously, "So what happened yesterday that made her feel wronged?"

"We met Shu Yi yesterday, and Shu Yi said that Luo Xi looks very similar to a girl you liked when you were young. This was probably a hint to Luo Xi that she was just a substitute in your heart."

Hearing this, Zhao Jingchuan couldn't help but swear, "She's talking nonsense!"

Gu Jinlan stared at him inquiringly, "So, this is not the case?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Jingchuan was very depressed. "Luo Xi is sensitive and prone to wild thoughts. Could it be that you also believed Shu Yi's lies?"

"I was skeptical, but now that you deny it, I naturally believe what you say."

Zhao Jingchuan was so angry that his face turned blue. He threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the side of the road and crushed it with his foot.

He tried every possible means and finally managed to get Luo Xi closer to him.

Shu Yi's few fabricated words destroyed the fragile relationship that he and Luo Xi had built with great difficulty.

Gu Jinlan said, "It's not surprising that Luo Xi thought too much. You didn't even know each other before, and you suddenly showed up and said you wanted to marry her. Now Shu Yi told her all that, so of course she believed it."

"Who said we didn't know each other? It's just that she didn't remember me."

"Oh?"

Zhao Jingchuan raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes lost in memories, with a hint of tenderness, "We met once, and she helped me at that time."

Gu Jinlan was surprised, "Then you have to tell her, let her know why you like her."

"There was never a suitable opportunity to tell her."

And he was quite embarrassed at the time, so he thought it was better that Luo Xi didn't remember it. The past wasn't important anyway.

Gu Jinlan suggested: "Let's take this opportunity to tell her."

"Yeah." Zhao Jingchuan looked at Gu Jinlan and smiled slightly, "Lanlan, thank you. It feels so good to have a younger sister."

Seeing Zhao Jingchuan's suddenly gentle eyes, Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously said something to spoil the mood: "Didn't you have a sister named Zhao Shiyun before?"

"..." A hint of displeasure appeared between Zhao Jingchuan's brows.

Although Zhao Shiyun has left the Zhao family, she is still a pain in the hearts of everyone in the family.

These days, the whole family tacitly agreed not to mention this name.

The eldest brother arranged a family dinner for the day after tomorrow in order to take a new family photo so as to completely erase all traces of Zhao Shiyun in this family.

"You are different from her." Zhao Jingchuan said, "It's not a question of whether you are related or not, it's that you are more considerate and sensible than her."

Gu Jinlan smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "She is not considerate and sensible because she has been loved, cared for, and protected since she was a child."

Because someone shielded Zhao Shiyun from all the wind and rain, she didn't have to worry about some problems.

Zhao Jingchuan frowned slightly and looked at Gu Jinlan with heartache, "In the future, you will also have someone who loves you, loves you, and protects you. If you don't want to be a considerate and sensible person, then don't be one."

Gu Jinlan saw a burning light in Zhao Jingchuan's eyes and a brother's desire to protect his sister.

There was no falsehood in his sincere eyes.

It's quite touching.

But she no longer needs anyone's protection.

"Thank you. I can protect myself now."

Zhao Jingchuan looked frustrated and sighed regretfully.

Yes, Lanlan has now passed the most difficult time.

When she needed her family's company and protection the most, they were not there for her.

No wonder she wasn't close to them.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about you and Luo Xi." Gu Jinlan quickly changed the subject. "There's one more thing I've been wanting to talk to you about."

"You said."

"It's... about Matt." Gu Jinlan asked tentatively, "Can we talk about it?"

Zhao Jingchuan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he smiled carefreely, "There's nothing we can't talk about. You know it all anyway."

Gu Jinlan said: "I just want to ask, have you really forgiven Luo Xi in your heart? Do you really not care about it anymore?"

Zhao Jingchuan hesitated for a moment, "If you're talking about what happened on the wedding night, I really don't blame Luo Xi. It's my problem. When I married her, I knew she didn't have me in her heart. I shouldn't blame her or hurt her for it."

"But you asked me if I cared about Matt's existence. If I said I didn't, it would be a lie, unless I didn't love Luo Xi."

"Besides, I'm not a saint."

Where there is love, there is possessiveness.

"I understand." Gu Jinlan nodded slightly.

Zhao Jingchuan said firmly: "But I have never regretted marrying her."

"I heard from Luo Xi that you two have an agreement for half a year. What if by then..." Gu Jinlan hesitated to speak.

Zhao Jingchuan smiled calmly, "Actually, I'm not that optimistic. After all, she has liked Matt for so many years, and in people's hearts, what they can't get is the best. That's something they will never be able to let go of."

Gu Jinlan asked: "Since you have so little confidence, why do you insist on a fruitless relationship?"

Zhao Jingchuan said: "Not everything will have a good outcome, but you can't give up in advance just because the predicted result is not good. I like her, so I will try my best to fight for her, regardless of the result. Life is not long, but it is not short either. You should do what you want to do regardless of the result, and try your best to like the person who lives in your heart."

Gu Jinlan stared at Zhao Jingchuan in a daze.

I didn't expect to see the kind of enthusiasm that only a teenager could have in the eyes of a 28-year-old man.

Zhao Jingchuan suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"How could that be!" Gu Jinlan said seriously, "I think you are right!"

Zhao Jingchuan's words also touched her heart.

No matter what she does, she always considers the consequences, so when it comes to Shi Ye's feelings, she is always timid, not daring to accept it, nor daring to take another step forward.

If she could have half of Zhao Jingchuan's courage, perhaps she and Shi Ye would have a different way of getting along now.

Gu Jinlan: "And I just asked you that because I wanted to hear your thoughts. In fact, the situation is much better than you think. You should be more confident. I am optimistic about you and Luo Xi. She has already fallen in love with you, but she hasn't realized it yet."

Zhao Jingchuan was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of cautious joy, "Really...really?"
