He stretched out his hand to open the door, but when his fingertips were about to touch the door handle, they suddenly stopped in mid-air.

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Ye withdrew his hand, turned and walked towards Shi Xingran's room.

After learning that Gu Jinlan had given birth to a child, he felt not only angry and disappointed, but also worried and distressed for Ranran.

Ranran likes Gu Jinlan so much. Since Gu Jinlan was born, Ranran has never mentioned looking for his mother again. It seems that he has regarded Gu Jinlan as his mother.

That's why he felt that even if Shu Yi was really Ranran's biological mother, it didn't matter if they were not allowed to recognize each other, because Ranran already had a mother anyway.

But now he couldn't help but wonder, after Gu Jinlan finds her own biological son, will she still be so good to Ranran?

Even if her love for Ranran will not change at that time, some of her maternal love will always be divided away by another child.

Moreover, there is always an essential difference between children born by oneself and those not born by oneself.

Gu Jinlan slept very soundly that night and slept until dawn.

When I opened my eyes and saw that the pillow next to me was still as tidy as it was before I went to bed, I realized that Shi Ye did not go back to his room to sleep last night.

Good man, he called her back but left her alone in an empty room?

Fortunately, she fell asleep early last night and did not wait for him and yearn for him like a disfavored woman in the cold palace.

Gu Jinlan didn’t think much about why Shi Ye didn’t go back to his room to sleep. He washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast as usual.

In a marriage, when two people are emotional, giving each other some space to calm down temporarily is also a good way to deal with conflicts.

But this "cold war" can only be temporary. If it lasts too long and turns into cold violence, the two people will sooner or later become strangers.

Gu Jinlan came to the restaurant and saw the father and son sitting at the dining table.

Shi Xingran said good morning to her with a smile on his face.

Shi Ye, however, didn't even look at her. He held a cup of black coffee in one hand and a financial magazine in the other, staring at her intently.

Gu Jinlan sat down, and then Zhao Jinchen called.

"Lanlan, Shuhe and Xiaojin will be home this afternoon. If you and Aye have time, bring Ranran over to play early."

Gu Jinlan then remembered that she had promised Zhao Jinchen the day before yesterday to bring Ranran and Shiye to Zhao's house for dinner tonight.

She hasn't told Shi Ye about this yet...

She raised her eyes to look at Shi Ye who was sitting opposite her. He was still reading a financial magazine, completely ignoring her existence.

She didn't want to ask him to accompany her to Zhao's house.

But if Brother Zhao called Shi Ye himself, with his meticulous mind, he would definitely notice something.

The Zhao family cared about her meticulously. If they knew that she and Shi Ye had a quarrel, they would definitely get involved, and the situation would become complicated.

"Hey, Lanlan?"

"Brother Zhao, I heard it. We'll come over this afternoon after Ranran gets out of kindergarten."

"Okay, see you this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinlan looked at Shi Ye, who had a dull expression on his face. Her red lips moved slightly, but she still couldn't speak.

Shi Xingran heard what Gu Jinlan had just said and asked curiously, "Where are you going to take me to play this afternoon, Mom?"

"Uncle Jinchen just called and invited us to his home to introduce us to his fiancée and daughter."

As Gu Jinlan spoke, she secretly observed Shi Ye's reaction.

He should understand, right?

Shi Ye remained calm and just took a sip of coffee.

Shi Xingran was very smart, as if he saw through Gu Jinlan's thoughts, and turned to ask Shi Ye, "Is Dad going with us?"

Finally, Shi Ye put down the financial magazine in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Gu Jinlan, "Do you want me to join you?"

When their eyes met, Gu Jinlan saw a hint of arrogance in Shi Ye's eyes.

Is not this nonsensical?

It was said that Brother Zhao invited them to join him.

He asked her this, obviously wanting her to give in.

Pursing her lips, Gu Jinlan nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Just give in, after all, she had promised Brother Zhao and didn't want to disappoint him.

"Let's talk about it in the afternoon." Shi Ye picked up the magazine again.

Depend on!

Gu Jinlan was furious.

He forced her to admit that she needed him, and he did this again?

To tease her?

Shi Xingran, who was sitting in the middle, looked around at the two of them and suddenly asked, "Did you have a fight?"

"No!" they both replied in unison.

Shi Xingran pouted and said, "I'm not the kind of kid who can be fooled. You two obviously had a fight. If you hadn't had a fight, why would Dad have come to sleep in my room last night? Usually Dad only wants to sleep with Mom, and it's never my turn."

"Cough cough cough!" Shi Ye suddenly choked on a mouthful of coffee and started coughing. He quickly took a tissue to wipe his mouth, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Gu Jinlan's face also turned red with embarrassment.

Shi Xingran asked: "Why are you quarreling?"

Faced with their son's questioning gaze, the couple avoided his gaze and no one answered.

Butler Xue, who was waiting on the side, spoke up to help: "Young Master, you misunderstood. I just wanted to accompany you last night. For a couple, occasionally being apart helps their relationship."

"It must be Dad's fault." Shi Xingran didn't listen to what Butler Xue said at all. He turned his eyes to Shi Ye and said, "Dad, what bad things did you do? Apologize to Mom!"

"..." Shi Ye was speechless, with a look of surprise on his face, "???"

What did he do wrong?

It was Gu Jinlan who hid the fact that she had given birth to a child from him and even secretly drew his blood in the middle of the night.

All these actions are enough to sentence him to death.

The fact that he could still tolerate and keep her by his side had already broken his bottom line and principles.

Even though she was wronged by her son at this moment, he was unwilling to say it out loud, as he did not want to ruin the good image of her in his heart.

"Dad!" Shi Xingran frowned and urged Shi Ye fiercely, "Apologize quickly."

"I..." Shi Ye was speechless.

He seemed to have seen the scene of himself being bullied by this rebellious son when he was old!

Butler Xue looked at Shi Ye with sympathy and silently stepped aside.

In the stalemate, Gu Jinlan finally spoke: "Ranran really misunderstood, we are fine, we didn't quarrel."

Oh, I knew that I couldn’t let Ranran know that they had a fight.

Shi Xingran looked at Gu Jinlan questioningly, then looked at Shi Ye, "Really?"

Shi Ye's lips forced a smile, "Really, there was no quarrel."

Shi Xingran said: "Then hug each other and give each other a kiss, and I will believe that you two did not quarrel."

"!!!" Shi Ye and Gu Jinlan were both startled and looked at each other at the same time.

Their eyes met and they both looked away at the same time, with stubbornness in each of their eyes.

Gu Jinlan said, "Ranran, eat quickly, or you'll be late for school."

Shi Xingran pouted, looking dissatisfied, "You are just lying to me. How can an adult lie? Dad, tell Mom quickly..."

Before Shi Xingran could finish his words, Shi Ye suddenly stood up and strode towards Gu Jinlan with his long legs.

Apologies are out of the question anyway.

There is no way an apology could be made.

He didn't do anything wrong!

To this woman, Gu Jinlan, he can be said to be open-hearted!
