Gu Jinlan said: "I know."

Shi Ye's back stiffened, and he suddenly turned around to look at Gu Jinlan, "You know?"

"Yes, when we were in the hospital, I heard you and Special Assistant Jiang say that you were going to the southwest to find a very important person for me. Are you referring to that child?"

Shi Ye was surprised, "How could you have endured this whole time without asking me?"

Gu Jinlan said, "The fact that I once gave birth to a child would bring shame to you. Since you don't want anyone to know, I can only find a chance to ask you when we are alone."

Shi Ye frowned, "Why do you miss me so much?"

Seeing his eyes darken, Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Don't get excited, I'm not angry."

She can understand.

It is natural for a man with a domineering personality like Shi Ye to feel uncomfortable with the fact that she had given birth to a child.

"But you are making assumptions about me. I don't think this is something that will bring shame to me! I said that I would treat your child the same way you treat Ranran. Otherwise, why would I decide to break my promise to Ranran and go find that child?"

Shi Ye became more and more excited as he spoke.

Fortunately, Gu Jinlan said it now, otherwise he would not know that this is how she sees him.

I barely even had a chance to explain.

"I'm really not angry, calm down." Gu Jinlan explained, "I heard that you didn't tell Special Assistant Jiang, so I thought..."

"Why should I talk to a man lying in a hospital bed? If I really wanted to keep this a secret, I could just go to the southwest region by myself. Why would I let Xiao Li come with me?"

Shi Ye couldn't calm down at all and felt that he was more wronged than Dou E.

"You just won't believe me! So, after the child is found, I will hold a press conference to let everyone know that I, Shi Ye, have a new biological son!"

"You haven't given him a name yet, have you? Then he'll have my last name!"

"..." Gu Jinlan whispered, "No need to be like this... I really don't care."

"I care!"

Gu Jinlan raised his hand and stroked his forehead, "I misunderstood you."

"Apologize to me!"

"Sorry……"

Shi Ye stared at Gu Jinlan with angry eyes. Seeing her helpless expression and her obedient apology, he sighed and softened his voice.

"Next time, don't presume to guess what I'm thinking. Ask me if you have any questions."

"Okay." Gu Jinlan nodded. "Then let's get back to business. Tomorrow we will accompany Ranran to participate in the parent-child activities in the kindergarten. The day after tomorrow I will go to the southwest region with you."

Shi Ye said: "No, I have to go tomorrow. Don't you want to find the child earlier?"

"Of course I do, but Ranran also needs us right now. We can't break our promise to him and let him down. This is his first activity since he started kindergarten, so we must take it seriously."

Not to mention tomorrow, she can't wait to go to the southwest.

But she couldn't be so selfish.

At that time, grandma was already worried that after she found her biological son, she would mistreat and neglect Ranran.

If in this matter, she neglected Ranran in order to take care of her own son.

Not only would she feel guilty, but her grandmother would also believe that she would become a biased stepmother in the future.

Shi Ye stared at Gu Jinlan in a daze, his eyes becoming more and more gentle.

He never expected that Gu Jinlan would make such a choice.

After she knew the news about her child, she didn't want to waste even a moment and only wanted to find her child.

It turned out that she really cared about them more than he thought.

"Lanlan, thank you for taking Ranran so seriously. You have done so much, so I should do something for your child."

Gu Jinlan smiled, "I am very satisfied that you can do this for him. He has been missing for so many years. If we go a day later, it won't delay anything. We can't neglect one and make Ranran sad."

"But..." Shi Ye groaned, "The reason why I'm in such a hurry to go there is because something might have gone wrong there."

Gu Jinlan's heart trembled, "What's going on?"

"The private detective I hired has already arrived. It was originally agreed that he would call me after arriving to report the preliminary situation." Shi Ye raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

"But he had been there for almost three hours and hadn't contacted me. When I called him, his phone was turned off."

Gu Jinlan frowned, "Maybe the phone is out of battery? If we are in the mountains in the southwest, the signal may also be problematic."

"No." Shi Ye shook his head. "The private detective's name is Zhou Lin. People in the industry call him a super detective. A professional like him would never make such a low-level mistake as a dead cell phone or no signal."

"He should have prepared for these minor problems that might arise in advance."

"Besides, he is doing things for me, so he won't dare to be careless."

Shi Ye's expression became more serious. "He must have run into trouble over there, so I have to go there as soon as possible, in case they become alert and move the child away."

Gu Jinlan was silent, biting her lip and lost in thought.

Shi Ye was also silent. "Lanlan, let me go. Anyway, the kindergarten has parent-child activities every semester. I can accompany Ranran next time. It's the same."

Gu Jinlan slowly exhaled, "No, this time is different. This is the first time. We promised Ranran that we can't let him down."

Shi Ye frowned, "But..."

"Listen to me." Gu Jinlan interrupted, having regained her composure. "If it's true as you expected, that Detective Zhou ran into trouble over there, I wouldn't trust you to go alone. I want to go with you."

"But if I go with you tomorrow, what will happen to Ranran? The other children have their parents with them, but he is all alone."

Shi Ye said, "You don't have to come with me, I can handle it. But if you insist on going to find the child yourself, I don't object. Then let grandma accompany Ranran to kindergarten, or let Jingchuan and Luo Xi go. I see that they both like Ranran very much, so it's a good opportunity for them to experience what it's like to be a parent in advance."

Gu Jinlan shook her head and said, "It's different. The love of parents cannot be replaced by anyone else. I feel this deeply."

Although her grandmother had always loved her very much, she once longed for Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue to love her more.

After being abandoned by them, she had fantasized about whether she could return to her biological parents.

Imagine if they would love themselves.

But later, during countless days of despair, she gradually gave up those hopes and fantasies.

"Aye, Ranran's mind is more sensitive than other children of the same age. If he knew that we broke our promise to him and went to look for my child, what would he think?"

"Ranran didn't want Shu Yi anymore after he found out that she was his biological mother. He only wanted me. I can't let him down. I can't let him down."

Shi Ye seemed to want to say something but stopped.
