"Call him when we get to the restaurant."

"Okay! Drive faster. I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow."

Afterwards, Gu Jinlan brought Qingli to a Sichuan restaurant decorated in Chinese style.

Qingli followed and looked around, "Lan, this place looks good. I think I can already smell the fragrance."

Gu Jinlan said: "The food in this restaurant is very appetizing, suitable for people like you who are reincarnated from starving bodies."

"You're not usually particular about food, how do you know about this kind of place? Did your cheap husband bring you here for a date?"

"We're not dating outside. Luo Xi brought me here."

"But don't ordinary couples go out for dates and eat?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment.

Qingli added: "You said you wanted to live an ordinary life, but you and Master Shi are not ordinary people. So as a human being, you still have to accept your fate. What kind of person you are, what kind of life you live. I am quite resigned to my fate."

Gu Jinlan glanced at Qingli and just wanted to quickly order a table of dishes to shut Qingli's mouth.

In a restaurant private room.

After the waiter served the dishes, Gu Jinlan took out his cell phone and made a video call to Si Mo.

Si Mo’s thin face appeared on the phone screen.

Because he stayed in the laboratory for a long time without seeing the light, Si Mo's skin was very pale, making his dark circles more obvious.

A pair of deep-set emerald green eyes revealed a morbid beauty, and a hint of world-weariness was hidden in the slightly drooping corners of the eyes.

Si Mo looked at Gu Jinlan and smiled gently, "Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are different now."

In the past, Gu Jinlan had only indifference in his eyes, like the silent sea at night, so dull and unpredictable.

But now, there seemed to be stars and moonlight in her eyes.

Gu Jinlan said: "There's nothing different, you just haven't seen me for a long time."

After she returned to China, she and Si Mo only talked on the phone and almost never had a video call.

Si Mo asked, "Where's Qingli?"

Gu Jinlan turned the camera of his mobile phone to face Qingli who was eating heartily.

"Hiss... It's so spicy, it's so spicy that I'm going to die. It feels so good!" Qingli's lips had turned red from the spiciness, but he continued to eat while sticking out his tongue.

Si Mo said, "You only know how to eat. I have something important to discuss with you two."

Qing Li didn't even raise his head, his cheeks were already bulging with food, and he said incoherently: "You two can discuss it, I'm listening."

"Lan, turn the camera away. I don't want to see her eating like this."

There was disdain in Si Mo's tone, but Qingli didn't care. He licked his fingers to oil them and picked up another spicy stir-fried crayfish.

When the camera turned back to Gu Jinlan, Si Mo's voice became noticeably gentler. "How do you feel after taking the anti-rejection medicine that Qingli brought you last time?"

Gu Jinlan said: "No, it's about the same as before. I still need to add a lot to suppress the headache."

"On my end..." Si Mo was halfway through his words when his brows suddenly knitted together and his tone instantly dropped. "There's signal interference there."

Hearing this, Qingli, who was eating lobster, suddenly looked up at Gu Jinlan.

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and immediately touched the pockets of his clothes and trousers, but found nothing.

Then he picked up the canvas bag and poured everything inside onto the sofa.

Among a pile of messy girls' supplies, she immediately saw something that did not belong to her.

It is an exquisite and small black brooch with a unique shape.

She didn't remember anyone giving her this gift.

She lowered her eyes and recalled, and suddenly the scene of Shi Ye holding her in his arms before leaving home flashed through her mind.

Apparently, this special "gift" was secretly given to her by him at that time.

Gu Jinlan stared at the brooch in his hand and said coldly: "Master Shi, is this interesting?"

On the side of the monitoring receiver, Shi Ye's body was shocked and he subconsciously took a step back. He wanted to do something but didn't know what to do.

He just felt as if there were three pairs of royal eyes staring at him invisibly.

"I'll settle the score with you when I get back!" Gu Jinlan said angrily.

Then there was a crackling sound in the receiver.

There was no sound at all.

Shi Ye quickly picked up the receiver on the table and threw it into the trash can to destroy the evidence, even though it was meaningless.

Then he rushed out and ran towards Shi Xingran's bedroom.

I bumped into Butler Xue in the corridor.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?"

"fine!"

Shi Ye continued to rush towards Shi Xingran's bedroom.

Shi Xingran was still sleeping soundly, with a sweet smile on his face, playing with his parents in his dream.

Shi Ye rushed to the bedside, grabbed Shi Xingran's shoulders and shook him gently, "Ranran, wake up, wake up!"

His sweet dream was interrupted. Shi Xingran frowned, hummed twice, and opened his eyes blankly.

Shi Ye said softly: "Don't sleep yet."

Being forcibly awakened, Shi Xingran's eyes were dull, staring at Shi Ye in a daze, "???"

Shi Ye picked up the children's story on the bedside table, quickly took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and hugged Shi Xingran in his arms.

"Daddy will tell you a story."

"???" Shi Xingran looked up at him, "Dad...are you sick?"

Dad doesn't usually tell him stories.

Now I suddenly wake him up to tell him a story.

(???)This is so weird!

Shi Xingran stretched out her little hand and touched Shi Ye's forehead.

Grandpa Xue said that if you don’t take medicine when you are sick and have a high fever, your brain will be damaged.

However, when Shi Xingran touched Shi Ye's forehead, he didn't feel it was hot, only a thin layer of sweat.

He touched his forehead again in confusion.

Huh?

Dad doesn’t have a fever?

Shi Ye cleared his throat and began to tell the story.

His voice was pleasant and attractive, but he didn't really put any heart into the stories he told.

Shi Xingran didn't want to hear anything and looked around the bedroom.

The confused voice asked, "Where's mom?"

Shi Ye said: "She went out for something and will be back soon."

In the restaurant, Gu Jinlan moved her feet, took a look at the brooch that was crushed to pieces, and took a deep breath in anger.

Qing Li pouted and said, "I told you, your cheap husband doesn't trust you at all and secretly planted a bug on you. Lan, you're so smart and alert, didn't you notice it?"

Gu Jinlan's face was cold and gloomy. "Sorry, I was careless."

Although she had been hiding her affairs from Shi Ye, she actually trusted that he would not do anything to hurt her.

That's why I let my guard down and made such a low-level mistake.

It almost implicated Si Mo and Qing Li.

If Si Mo had not discovered the signal interference in time, all their secrets would have been heard by Shi Ye.

Si Mo smiled softly, "It doesn't matter, I didn't say anything important just now anyway."

Qingli asked: "Lan, don't you feel tired from doing this? Why don't you just confront him and drag him onto our pirate ship, or..."

"Let's continue what we were saying." Gu Jinlan interrupted Qingli and looked at Si Mo in the video. "What did you say happened just now?"
