Seeing that Lin Qingran hadn't answered for a long time, Lin Hao spoke in a low voice.

"No matter how busy you are, you should always attend family gatherings. Qingran, your older brother knows the difficulties you've faced these past few years. Whatever comes up tomorrow, put it aside and come home early."

Lin Qingran was slightly moved.

No matter what, only her family can warm her heart.

Previously, due to issues of pride and face, they always avoided them, but now, after hearing what Lin Hao said...

Suddenly, she felt that her refusal to return to the Lin family alone for the past three years, due to her distant relationship with Gu Moxuan and out of consideration for her reputation, was truly disheartening.

"Brother, that's my home, how could I not come back?"

"I'll be back sooner."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingran fell silent. After a long while, she looked at the unsent content on her phone screen, deleted it word by word, and then closed the chat page.

Lin Xiaoruo waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply from Lin Qingran, so she tightened her grip on her phone.

Gu Moxuan came out of the bathroom. She immediately put down her phone, took out a long towel, and wiped his strong body.

"It's fixed? Mo Xuan, you're really amazing."

Gu Moxuan glanced calmly at Lin Xiaoruo, "I'll have Yan Sui bring a repairman over to fix it."

Lin Xiaoruo was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again."

Gu Moxuan reached out and took the towel from Lin Xiaoruo's hand, his tone indifferent.

"I'll wipe it myself."

Lin Xiaoruo frowned slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

For some reason, Gu Moxuan's attitude towards her seemed somewhat cold.

Could it be that......

Gu Moxuan discovered that she had broken the shower herself.

“Mo Xuan…”

A knock on the door interrupted Lin Xiaoruo's words.

Gu Moxuan walked straight to the door and opened it.

Yan Sui stood at the door with the repairman and Gu Moxuan's changed clothes, his attitude respectful and humble.

"Mr. Gu, your clothes."

Gu Moxuan nodded, took the clothes, and handed the rest of the matter over to Yan Sui.

He didn't wait for the repairman to fix the shower. Instead, after changing his clothes, he saw Lin Xiaoruo waiting at the door and said in a low voice.

"I have to go now. If you have any questions later, you can contact Yan Sui directly."

Lin Xiaoruo bit her lip and stared at Gu Moxuan with a dazed look in her eyes. "Moxuan, I'm sorry, I didn't want to cause you any trouble."

However, Gu Moxuan did not answer her question and stepped into the elevator.

The elevator doors closed, separating her from Gu Moxuan.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Xiaoruo suddenly realized that Gu Moxuan was no longer the man who used to obey her every word.

Her hands clenched slightly, her face full of resentment.

........

When Gu Moxuan returned to Sixiang Garden, he saw Lin Qingran standing on the balcony of the bedroom, wearing a white silk nightgown.

She was thin and not wearing many clothes, even though she was the kind of person who was most afraid of the cold.

Now, however, they are standing at the forefront of the trend.

His brows furrowed almost immediately upon seeing the figure.

Is she no longer afraid of the cold?

Lin Qingran paused upon hearing the sound of the sports car engine, then slowly shifted her gaze to Gu Moxuan's car.

She saw the man park his car in the yard, get out angrily, and walk quickly toward her.

His anger seemed to be directed at himself.

Lin Qingran frowned slightly, wondering what had happened to offend him again.

It's astonishing that someone who loves cars would abandon his vehicle in a yard where there's no shelter from the snow.

She rubbed her forehead wearily, then heard the sound of the door being flung open behind her.

She didn't rush to turn around and argue with the man; her expression remained calm.

Hearing footsteps approaching her quickly, he spoke calmly.

"It's so late, I don't want to argue with you. Can't we just get along for a while?"

Perhaps after this period of time, they will soon have no contact with each other anymore.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a warmth on her body. Turning her head, she saw that the man's black coat was draped over her shoulders.

Gu Moxuan remained expressionless, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.

Lin Qingran bumped into his arms without warning, his broad chest completely enveloping her, and a continuous stream of warmth emanated from her.

"If you want to get along with me, then you'd better behave yourself and stop causing me trouble."

Lin Qingran's body stiffened slightly.

In the three years since their marriage, Lin Qingran can guarantee that she has never caused him any trouble. She dares not say anything else.

Perhaps in his eyes, she was just a nuisance.

She, who was usually quick-witted, chose to remain silent and did not answer his question.

Gu Moxuan saw that she had calmed down and was staying by his side so obediently, which was quite rare.

But for some reason, he didn't like her gentle and obedient demeanor now, and felt inexplicably irritated.

After a while, she noticed that he was no longer wearing the same clothes he had worn when he left home. Her expression darkened slightly, and she stepped out of his embrace.

"Come inside."

Her voice was calm, revealing no emotion, as she slowly walked into the house.

Gu Moxuan's gaze was fixed, his eyes gradually becoming deep and unfathomable.

Her palm, still warm from her touch, slowly tightened.
