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

Seeing this, Xia Nian held her breath nervously, fearing that William would notice that there was something wrong with Shi Ye and Qing Li in the room.

Gu Jinlan said, "Ni'an, let's go to the restaurant first to see what we have for dinner tonight."

"Oh, okay..." Xia Nian nodded blankly, walked behind Gu Jinlan, and was about to push the wheelchair, but William's hand reached out.

William pushed Gu Jinlan's wheelchair and walked away. He leaned over Gu Jinlan's head and asked softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you have enough for lunch?"

"Well, the lamb chops at noon weren't tasty."

"I'll ask the kitchen to pay attention."

"..." Xia Nian stood there in a daze, looking at the backs of the two.

I didn’t expect William to be so gentle and considerate to Gu Jinlan.

The attentive and caring look didn't seem fake.

Based on her understanding of William, if William liked Gu Jinlan, it would be impossible for him to let the Tenth Master come to take Gu Jinlan away.

Because since he was a child, as long as William liked something, no matter whether it was alive or dead, and no matter how valuable it was, he would do anything to get it.

Unless he is tired of playing with it, no one else can even touch the things he likes.

Xia Nian suddenly felt uneasy. Without thinking too much, she hurriedly followed.

William glanced at her sideways, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "You knew that Miss Lan was recuperating in your room, but you insisted on putting your luggage in there, making a mess."

Shanian explained: "I just explained it to them and they will clean it up."

William asked, "Where did you hire those two people?"

Xia Nian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be discovered so quickly?

She tried to hide her panic, "I was hired by a housekeeping company, what's wrong?"

William said, "Fire them and ask them to leave immediately. I will get someone else to take care of you."

Xia Nian was extremely panicked. Their original plan was that she would hold William back at night, while Shi Ye and Qing Li would take the opportunity to take Gu Jinlan away.

So no matter what, we can't let Shi Ye and Qing Li leave now.

The only time in Shanian's life that she rebelled against William was when she ran away from home.

Since she was a child, she was accustomed to obeying all of William's arrangements, so she didn't know how to refuse William for a while.

He bit his lower lip anxiously before speaking, "No... I'm used to them taking care of me, and I trust them."

William's eyes, which were always smiling, suddenly became dark. "Don't you trust the servants in the castle? This is your home."

"I..." Shanian stammered, "No... It's not that I don't trust them, but they have taken care of me for so long, I can't just fire them. That's too cruel."

Gu Jinlan said, "Ni'an, your brother is concerned about the safety of the castle, so he can't accommodate outsiders he doesn't know. You should understand him. At most, you can give those two people more severance pay."

“???” Xia Nian was stunned and looked at Gu Jinlan in surprise.

Didn’t Gu Jinlan recognize Shi Ye and Qing Li just now?

But even if she didn't recognize him, why would Gu Jinlan stand on her brother's side and speak?

Facing Xia Nian's puzzled expression, Gu Jinlan smiled faintly, then looked up at William, "You too, you are so harsh on her just after Nian came back. She is used to people, but you just fire her if you want to. It's not humane at all. At least give her some buffer time, right?"

"She hasn't been home for many years. She must not be used to it when she just came back. It won't be too late to fire those two people after she gets used to it." Gu Jinlan pouted and said, "If my brother was so strict with me, I would run away from home too."

William was slightly startled, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, and I won't rush to fire you."

Xia Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Gu Jinlan.

It turned out that what Gu Jinlan had just said to her was a step forward.
