The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Lin Xiaoruo's expression changed immediately upon hearing Lin Qingran's words.

"you......"

Realizing that her anger had been so easily provoked by Lin Qingran, Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress it.

Her gaze fell on Lin Qingran, and she secretly bit her lip.

"Sister, we're sisters, why make such a fuss over a man?"

"You clearly have many more and better options, don't you?"

Lin Qingran looked at Lin Xiaoruo with a smile on her lips.

Do you think I'm deliberately trying to take it from you?

She likes Gu Moxuan, loves Gu Moxuan, and that's why she can't live without Gu Moxuan.

"Isn't that right, sister? I know you've always been privileged since you were little, and you've never lacked anything you wanted at home."

"Only Mo Xuan is close to me, so I can understand your desire to take Mo Xuan away."

"After all, Mo Xuan is different from others, and his attitude towards you is different too. But a forced relationship won't be happy."

Lin Qingran chuckled softly, looked at Lin Xiaoruo, and said proudly.

"Whether a forced relationship is sweet or not, I'll know once I take a bite."

Lin Xiaoruo was taken aback.

"Are you determined to take Mo Xuan from me?"

Lin Qingran looked at her stubborn expression and shook her head helplessly.

Do you think he'll marry you after I divorce him?

“He is no longer the Gu Moxuan of three years ago, nor is he the Gu Moxuan who was out of place when he was first brought into the Gu family.”

After Lin Qingran finished speaking, she walked out of the bathroom.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Gu Moxuan standing at the door.

He stared at her with an inscrutable expression, his deep eyes devoid of any warmth.

Lin Qingran remained unusually calm and walked past him.

Footsteps sounded behind her, and as Lin Qingran walked into the restaurant, her wrist was grabbed.

She frowned slightly, looking at Gu Moxuan who was holding her hand with a puzzled expression.

The man spoke in a cold voice.

"Dinner has already been eaten. Qingran hasn't been getting enough rest lately, so I'll take her home first."

Lin Ji and Lin Hao looked at their father, who was sitting in the main seat, with blank expressions and uncertain opinions.

Mr. Lin nodded, but did not try to persuade him to stay.

Drive carefully on the road.

Lin Xiaoruo walked out of the bathroom in a hurry. Before she could speak, she heard her father say sternly.

"It's rare for Xiaoruo to come back, so why don't you stay at the Lin family's house tonight? I also have something to say to you."

Lin Xiaoruo had no choice but to sit down.

Lin Qingran's hand was held tightly in Gu Moxuan's palm. She looked at him in confusion, but saw that his eyes were deep and he could not see any emotion.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, the maid took Lin Qingran's handbag and was about to hand it to her when the man beside her took it from her.

"Let's go."

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, realizing that Gu Moxuan was probably angry because her father had mentioned having children.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, we're leaving now."

"Take care on your journey."

"Third sister, let me see you off."

As Lin Ji spoke, he stood up from his seat, but his father glared at him with a sharp look, and he had no choice but to sit down again awkwardly.

Looking at Lin Qingran's hand, which was being held tightly by Gu Moxuan, Lin's father said softly.

"Come back and visit again when you have time. The Lin family's doors will always be open for you."

As Lin's father finished speaking, Lin Qingran felt Gu Moxuan grip her hand even tighter.

She gave Gu Moxuan a disapproving look, then nodded and was pulled away from the Lin family by him.

Lin Xiaoruo's gaze remained fixed on their tightly clasped hands, and she unconsciously clenched her fists under the table.

Lin Qingran was shoved into Gu Moxuan's car. Looking at the man's angry face, she felt a headache coming on.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I'm a sensible person and I would never coerce you into having a child."

As she finished speaking, the man's expression grew even more unpleasant.

"How come I never realized you were so shrewd?"

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, staring straight ahead, her tone leisurely.

"Didn't President Gu warn me to behave? So President Gu doesn't need to take my father's words to heart at all."

"I will explain the matter of the child to Grandma Gu. It is because I do not want the child that I will absolutely not be a burden to you."

Her sensible and generous demeanor made Gu Moxuan grit his teeth in hatred.

His face darkened, and then he let out a cold snort.

"You know what you're interested in."

Lin Qingran pursed her crimson lips, choosing to remain silent rather than continue arguing with him.

The man sped back to Sixiangyuan. Throughout the entire process, she simply gripped the seatbelt tightly and remained silent.

Gu Moxuan parked the car at the entrance of Sixiang Garden, glanced at her coldly, and then said in a cold voice.

"Go down."

Lin Qingran remained expressionless, released her grip on the seatbelt, opened the car door, and slowly got out.

Gu Moxuan didn't seem to intend to stay overnight. After she got out of the car, she closed the passenger door for him in a gentle tone.

"President Gu, please take care on your journey."

Gu Moxuan's face immediately darkened.

Did she really want him to leave?

"This is my property, why should I leave?"

Lin Qingran paused for a moment, the fine sweat on her palms from nervousness making her feel uncomfortable.

Furthermore, she couldn't guess what Gu Moxuan was thinking, which made her expression slightly flustered.

She and Gu Moxuan stared at each other for a few seconds, one inside the car and the other outside, when the courtyard gate slowly opened, the sound forcing Lin Qingran back to her senses.

She turned her gaze away from Gu Moxuan and then said calmly.

"This is Mr. Gu's property, so I naturally have no reason to ask Mr. Gu to leave. Please make yourself at home."

Her expression remained calm, unperturbed by praise or criticism.

Gu Moxuan's face immediately darkened. He jerked the steering wheel, turned the car around, and sped away.

Lin Qingran watched him drive away without trying to stop him. She simply stood there, her gaze calm as her car drove off into the distance.

He probably won't stay here tonight.

Lin Qingran turned around, intending to go inside.

Suddenly, a screeching sound of brakes rang out in the cold, snowy night.

She turned around almost immediately and saw the man's car parked on the roadside in the distance, and her heart skipped a beat.

The roads are slippery on snowy nights, and accidents and car crashes often occur.

Lin Qingran barely noticed that she was still wearing high heels as she jogged over.

"Gu Moxuan, are you alright?"

She ran to the driver's side, opened the car door, and saw the man sitting expressionlessly in the seat. She breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"You really want something to happen to me?"

Gu Moxuan looked calmly at the woman who was panting slightly, his face darkening, but his heart felt inexplicably warm.

Lin Qingran composed herself, looked at him calmly, and said in a low voice.

"Of course I don't want anything to happen to you."

She looked up and met the man's cold gaze. A chill ran through her, but then her crimson lips curved into a beautiful smile.

“If something happens to you, no one will pay my huge living expenses.”
