Butler Xue was stunned for a moment, "Didn't the young master and the young mistress go out for dinner tonight?"

Gu Jinlan said: "He left halfway, saying that he had relatives from out of town and he had to go and receive them."

"What relatives from other places?" Uncle Xue looked confused and didn't react.

Gu Jinlan asked: "Don't you know?"

Seeing Gu Jinlan's inquiring eyes, Butler Xue suddenly reacted and said quickly: "Outside... The reception of out-of-town relatives is not my responsibility, so I don't know. It should be the old house that notified the young master, and the old house will not communicate the arrangements with me."

Gu Jinlan nodded, "Oh, then it should be grandma who asked him to go."

Only Old Madam Shi can order Shi Ye around.

Seeing that Gu Jinlan did not suspect anything, Butler Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a close call, luckily he reacted quickly.

The young master was the same. He didn't inform him first and almost got exposed.

There are no relatives from out of town tonight. Even if there are, the old lady will not waste the young master's time and let him go to receive them in person.

After Gu Jinlan washed upstairs, she went to accompany Shi Xingran.

Tonight, Xingran didn't ask for a bedtime story anymore. She asked Gu Jinlan happily, "Mom, will everyone know tomorrow that you are Ranran's mother?"

Gu Jinlan gently tapped the tip of Shi Xingran's nose, "Yes."

Tomorrow's wedding will be the day when she and Shi Ye officially announce their relationship to the public.

After tomorrow, in the eyes of outsiders, she will be considered the real Mrs. Shi.

"Great!" Shi Xingran huddled into bed, "I have to get up very early tomorrow!"

"Okay, go to bed quickly. Mom will sleep with you."

Shi Xingran smiled and closed his eyes.

Gu Jinlan patted his shoulder gently to coax him to sleep with one hand, and with the other hand picked up her phone and sent a message to Shi Ye, asking him when he would be back.

After waiting for a while, Shi Ye didn't reply to the message.

Guessing that he might still be dealing with distant relatives, Gu Jinlan put down his phone and tried hard to coax Shi Xingran to sleep.

She had heard from Butler Xue before that Ranran had trouble sleeping and always went to bed very late at night.

But every time she was with Ranran, Ranran was very well behaved and would fall asleep quickly.

After a while, the little guy began to breathe evenly.

Gu Jinlan stared at his cute and handsome face. Even though he fell asleep, there was still a sweet smile at the corner of the little guy's lips.

At this moment, Gu Jinlan's heart was also filled with happiness.

She lowered her head and kissed Shi Xingran lightly on the forehead, but did not leave immediately. She thought that since Shi Ye had not come back yet, she would spend more time with her son.

Before she knew it, Gu Jinlan also fell asleep.

I was woken up by the heat because I was holding Shi Xingran and the little guy was like a little stove.

Gu Jinlan picked up the phone beside the pillow and glanced at the time.

It was already half past twelve, and Shi Ye still hadn't replied to her message, nor had he returned yet.

Normally, if he came back and didn't see her, he would immediately come to Ranran's room to look for her.

If she fell asleep in Ranran's room, he would carry her directly back to their bedroom.

Gu Jinlan stood up gently and prepared to go out to call Shi Ye to ask about the situation.

She felt an inexplicable worry in her heart.

How come you haven’t come back for so long, not even replying to text messages?

For fear of waking up her son, Gu Jinlan walked out of the room slowly and closed the door gently.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind her waist and hugged her waist.

Gu Jinlan was startled, and the next moment a gentle voice sounded in her ears. Only then did she realize that the person behind her was Shi Ye.

Shi Ye rested his chin gently on her shoulder, "Lanlan, I miss you so much."

Gu Jinlan couldn't help but laugh, "You sound like we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Shi Ye said, "I haven't seen you for a few hours."

Gu Jinlan turned around and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Shi Ye. She asked in confusion, "What kind of distant relative is this that made you stay with him for so long and drink so much?"

"Don't worry, I'm not drunk." Shi Ye still hugged Gu Jinlan and explained, "My phone ran out of battery, and I just saw the message you sent me."

In fact, he had already returned.

He just didn’t know how to face Gu Jinlan, so he went to the wine cellar alone and drank a bottle of wine.

Gu Jinlan looked up at Shi Ye. She didn’t know if it was because the lights in the corridor were too dim, but she felt that Shi Ye looked unusually tired.

"Are you tired? Go back to your room and get some rest. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"Okay." Shi Ye nodded slightly, suddenly bent down, and picked up Gu Jinlan horizontally.

Gu Jinlan was startled, "What are you doing? Put me down now."

"I won't let go. I just want to carry you away." Shi Ye dragged Gu Jinlan's petite body with his strong arms and strode towards the bedroom.

When he returned to the bedroom, he did not put Gu Jinlan down immediately, but walked to the bed and put her on it.

Without waiting for Gu Jinlan to sit up from the bed, Shi Ye leaned down and kissed her lips.

"Aye..."

"Shh... don't talk yet."

Shi Ye spoke in a low voice, and grabbed Gu Jinlan's wrists with his big hands and pressed them on top of her head.

Then, his kiss fell like eager raindrops, gradually becoming more and more passionate...

Gu Jinlan was completely overwhelmed and was quickly melted by his enthusiasm.

A night of fun...

Gu Jinlan didn’t know how she fell asleep afterwards. She only remembered that she was very tired. All the strength in her body was exhausted. She leaned weakly on Shi Ye’s chest and fell asleep.

I was woken up by the alarm clock at six o'clock the next morning.

"Hmm..." Gu Jinlan was too sleepy to open her eyes. She buried her face in Shi Ye's arms and complained in a daze, "I'm so sleepy. It's all your fault. You insisted on making me stay up for so long last night."

"Continue to sleep a little longer." Shi Ye's sober voice sounded above his head.

"No, today is our wedding and we can't delay it." Gu Jinlan forced herself to open her eyes.

It was still dark outside the window and the light inside the house was dim. She looked up and found Shi Ye looking at her with a pair of clear eyes.

"You didn't sleep, did you?" Gu Jinlan asked.

"I slept for a while."

Gu Jinlan propped herself up, but was pulled back into Shi Ye's arms, "Don't worry."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by the voice of Butler Xue, "Madam, the eldest and third sons of the Zhao family have arrived."

"Okay, got it. I'll be down right away." Gu Jinlan responded.

Then he pulled away Shi Ye's hands that were wrapped around him and said, "It's time to get up. Brother Zhao and the others are here."

Shi Ye was reluctant to let Gu Jinlan leave his arms, and frowned slightly, "Today is not their wedding, why are you so active?"

Gu Jinlan laughed, "But today we are going to recognize our relatives. They are so enthusiastic, which shows that they attach great importance to this day."

Originally, she could go to the Zhao family by herself, and the Shi family also had a driver who could take her there, but the Zhao family insisted on picking her up personally to take her to her parents' home.
