Lin Qingran had always longed for the day when she could lie quietly in bed with Gu Moxuan and spend a peaceful night together.

But when that moment actually arrived, she couldn't sleep.

The man beside me was already sound asleep, his breathing even.

Looking at his features, which seemed to have been meticulously sculpted by a master craftsman, she felt a deep sense of melancholy.

Before I knew it, my eyes were red.

In the past three years, Gu Moxuan has stayed overnight at Sixiang Garden a handful of times.

Having already made up her mind to get a divorce, she now felt lost and uncertain about the future.

The next morning.

Lin Qingran was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock.

She reluctantly opened her eyes, turned off the alarm clock, and then lay back down in bed for a while longer.

Ten minutes later, the alarm clock rang again.

She opened her eyes with great dissatisfaction, got up and sat on the bed, looking sleepy.

Her face, without any makeup, appeared exceptionally fair and delicate, her smooth skin seeming so soft that it looked as if you could squeeze water out of it with just a gentle pinch.

This was the first time Gu Moxuan had seen Lin Qingran in this state.

She was usually calm and dignified; this silly, lazy way of staying in bed was something she wouldn't normally do.

"If you don't want to go to work, just stay home and rest. It's not like I can't support you."

Hearing the man's indifferent voice, Lin Qingran, who had been drowsy just moments before, instantly woke up. She turned her head slightly and saw that Gu Moxuan was still lying next to her.

She froze for a moment.

"You haven't left yet?"

Gu Moxuan has never slept until he naturally woke up next to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran also did not encounter Gu Moxuan early in the morning.

She thought the man had left long ago.

To my surprise, he was still in bed.

Gu Moxuan's face darkened.

"You want me to leave?"

Lin Qingran pursed her lips.

She didn't actually want Gu Moxuan to leave.

But at this time, Gu Moxuan was still in her room, and something felt off.

Perhaps she had long been used to mornings without Gu Moxuan, so when he suddenly appeared one morning, she was not used to it.

Seeing the man's face as black as charcoal, she forced a faint smile.

"No, it's just that you're so busy, I thought you had already left home."

Gu Moxuan's face darkened. For some reason, seeing Lin Qingran's uncomfortable expression made him particularly unhappy.

"Starting today, I will move back to Sixiangyuan."

Lin Qingran frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.

This is Gu Moxuan's property. If he wants to move here, she naturally has no objection.

"Ah."

She answered softly, her expression remaining largely unchanged, neither surprised nor pleased.

Gu Moxuan lay on the bed, watching her every move, feeling extremely depressed.

Lin Qingran was completely unaware of the change in the man's expression. She slowly stood up, glanced at the time, and realized it was getting late.

She quickened her pace considerably, and Gu Moxuan watched her busy figure with an indifferent tone.

"You don't have to go to XH's new product launch today."

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Qingran's eyes. Before she could ask, her assistant Cheng Ya called.

"Mr. Kobayashi, something terrible has happened. Vera's endorsement has been pulled by XH."

Lin Qingran's expression immediately turned serious as she turned to look at the man who was slowly getting up from the bed.

He was wearing loose pajamas, the huge V-neck revealing glimpses of his pectoral muscles, making him an alluring detective.

However, Lin Qingran had no interest in appreciating the handsome man's body and walked out of the bedroom with her phone in hand.

Who's the new spokesperson?

Cheng Ya remained silent for a while.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath; she already had the answer in her heart.

"Lin Xiaoruo?"

As expected, it was Gu Moxuan who interfered.

When Wang Ma saw Lin Qingran come downstairs, she picked up Lin Qingran's briefcase and handed it to her.

Lin Qingran took the briefcase while answering the phone.

"Yes. Vera valued this endorsement a lot. After hearing about this, she disappeared somewhere, and we can't find her now."

Cheng Ya's awkward reply only gave Lin Qingran a headache.

Vera must be furious that the endorsement deal she was about to get was snatched away.

Given Vera's temperament, there's no need to worry about her hurting herself, but I'm afraid she'll cause a scene at the press conference.

"I'm heading to the press conference right now. If you find Vera, call me immediately."

"it is good."

Lin Qingran hung up the phone, walked across the courtyard, and saw Gu Moxuan's car parked in the middle of the yard. She paused for a moment.

She instinctively turned around, looked up, and sure enough, saw Gu Moxuan standing on the bedroom balcony.

He was still wearing his bathrobe, his deep eyes meeting hers, his expressionless face making it impossible to read his thoughts.

Lin Qingran tightened her grip on the briefcase.

XH is a technology company under the Shen family, and Vera is an artist under Shen Huai's entertainment company.

Gu Moxuan actually managed to get Lin Xiaoruo in and even pulled Vera's endorsement; he must have put in a lot of effort.

The fact that the Shen family agreed to let Lin Xiaoruo endorse XH's new product means they must have reached some kind of agreement with Gu Moxuan.

This consensus was reached because Gu Moxuan made concessions on his own interests.

It seems that Gu Moxuan had a specific intention to make Lin Xiaoruo famous, which is why he did this.

Lin Qingran slowly withdrew her gaze, and the moment she turned around, her clear eyes sharpened.

Her competitive spirit was also completely ignited.

Gu Moxuan frowned as he watched Lin Qingran's departing figure.

She has always been like this; she never shows weakness in front of her.

Lin Qingran drove away from the garage without stopping at all.

Gu Moxuan stood on the balcony until she and her car disappeared from his sight before he looked away.
