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

A blue and white schoolbag, bulging.

It was exactly the backpack that Ranran was carrying in the surveillance video!

Gu Jinlan's heart trembled violently, joy and worry surged into his heart at the same time.

There is a slope on the right side of the road, and below the slope is a small primeval forest.

Could it be that Ranran fainted from heatstroke and rolled down?

Gu Jinlan's hands, which were holding the steering wheel, instantly broke out in sweat.

She stepped on the brakes and the car quickly stopped next to the schoolbag.

She pushed open the door and got out of the car. She quickly walked around the front of the car and found that next to the schoolbag, near the downhill, was the children's scooter she bought for Ranran.

But there was no sign of Ranran nearby.

"Ranran!" Gu Jinlan shouted a few times, but no one responded.

She tried to stay calm and observed her surroundings calmly.

The schoolbag and the children's scooter were neatly placed on the side of the road, and there were no signs of rolling on the slope, indicating that Ranran did not roll down.

Everyone was looking for him on the roads in the area, but they didn't see him, which meant he was not on the road.

It is very likely that he went down there.

But what was he doing under the road?

Gu Jinlan squatted down, looked around carefully, and finally found some shallow footprints.

She immediately took out her cell phone and sent a voice message to Shi Ye.

"I saw Ranran's schoolbag and scooter. He should be nearby. He may have gone to the forest below the road. I'm going down to look for him now. Come here quickly."

After sending the voice message, she sent Shi Ye a real-time shared location.

Then she jumped down a few steps and continued walking along the path, calling Shi Xingran's name.

There were woods all around, so it wasn't as hot as on the road, but Gu Jinlan was still sweating from anxiety.

She quickened her pace and when she reached the end of the path, she finally saw Shi Xingran's small figure beside the stream.

The little guy squatted by the stream, as if washing his face with the stream water.

Gu Jinlan heaved a long sigh of relief, and finally let go of the heart that had been in his throat. He shouted, "Ranran!"

Hearing her voice, Shi Xingran suddenly paused, then stood up and turned to look at her.

Gu Jinlan ran over and came in front of Shi Xingran, panting.

Shi Xingran's face was flushed with heat, his hair and face were wet, it was hard to tell whether it was sweat or stream water, and a large area of ​​his striped T-shirt was also wet.

"Ranran, I finally found you!" Gu Jinlan smiled happily.

However, Shi Xingran did not say anything. He just opened his big, clear eyes and looked at her eagerly. His eyes were so calm that no emotion could be seen.

Seeing this, the smile on Gu Jinlan's face slowly froze.

Something is wrong with Ranran.

Normally, he would smile happily when he saw her, and would open his arms and hug her.

His current state was similar to the first time she saw him. There was a calmness and maturity in his eyes that did not belong to his age, as if he had isolated his inner world from everything in the outside world.

No, even more closed off than it seemed then.

He hadn't been like this in the morning in the restaurant.

Apparently, he heard the adults' conversation in the restaurant.

Gu Jinlan raised her foot and took a tentative step towards him.

Seeing that he didn't react excessively, she squatted down in front of him and asked gently, "Ranran, why are you here alone?"

Shi Xingran whispered a word, "Hot."

Gu Jinlan was surprised. "So you came to the stream to wash your face to cool down?"

Shi Xingran nodded.

"Ranran is so smart! He actually knows how to cool himself down, that's amazing!" Gu Jinlan praised.

To get here from the road, one has to go down a slope. Ranran knew it would be difficult to walk with his schoolbag and scooter, so he left his things on the side of the road.

He is only four years old, but he knows how to take care of himself when he is alone outside!

In response to Gu Jinlan's praise, Shi Xingran pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and there was still no emotion on his face.

Gu Jinlan asked again: "Then you came out alone, are you here to find me?"

Shi Xingran did not answer, nor did he nod or shake his head, he just lowered his eyes.

But Gu Jinlan understood his thoughts.

He must have heard what the adults said in the restaurant and saw her leave, so he didn't know how to face her now. He must have thought that she didn't want him anymore.

"Ranran, can I hug you?"

Shi Xingran nodded.

Gu Jinlan hugged his small body into her arms and said softly, "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in person when I left today, but it's not that I don't want you anymore. I just... I just want to go back and be with my family."

Shi Xingran didn't say anything, but obediently let Gu Jinlan hold him.

Feeling her skirt being pulled, Gu Jinlan looked down and saw Shi Xingran's small hand grabbing her skirt.

She felt a sudden surge of sadness in her heart, and then her eyes became moist. She held back her sobs and continued to apologize.

"Ranran, I'm sorry. I was wrong today. I ignored the fact that you would be sad if I left."

At this moment, Gu Jinlan felt extremely remorseful.

She shouldn't ignore Ranran just because she was angry with Shi Ye.

But she wasn't simply angry with Shi Ye.

At that time, Shu Yi's identity had been made public, and she felt that as a stepmother, she had no right to compete with her biological mother.

Even though she knew that Shi Ye would not like Shu Yi, because she was not Ranran's biological mother, she was a loser in front of Shu Yi.

At that time, she only felt wronged, but ignored that her silent departure was more hurtful to Ranran.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinlan immediately added, "No matter where I go in the future, I will take Ranran with me. I will take Ranran with me, okay?"

From now on, she would no longer care whether Shu Yi was Ranran's biological mother.

She can't bear to leave Ranran, and Ranran can't leave her, and that's enough.

Even if she divorces Shi Ye in the future, as long as Ranran is willing to go with her, she will take Ranran with her!

Shi Xingran nodded in Gu Jinlan's arms, "Okay..."

Gu Jinlan felt like her heart was melting and a smile appeared on her face.

Suddenly, Shi Ye's cold voice came from behind, "Where are you taking my son?"

Gu Jinlan’s back stiffened and he turned to look at Shi Ye.

Shi Ye frowned, strode forward, and grabbed Shi Xingran's wrist, "Come home with me!"

He had never seen such a bad woman.

You stole his heart and are irresponsible, and now you want to steal his son too! ?

Why not just kill him?

Shi Ye took Shi Xingran's hand and turned to leave, but Shi Xingran did not move.

When he looked back, he found that Shi Xingran's hand was tightly holding Gu Jinlan's clothes.

Gu Jinlan also placed one hand on Shi Xingran's small shoulder.

Shi Ye lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you two mean now?"
