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

This subtle pain was more unbearable than the stinging sensation in her foot.

In the cold weather, his hands were incredibly warm; the skin he touched felt as if it were about to be set on fire.

Lin Qingran bit her red lips, looked at him, and then said softly.

"I know you won't hurt me."

Her face was full of confidence, and it was this confidence that made Gu Moxuan's face darken again.

His perfect features were sharply defined and shadowy in the moonlight.

"Won't hurt you? You really think too highly of yourself."

"Lin Qingran, to me, you are no different from those women I can sleep with for money."

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Lin Qingran's hand, raised it above her head, and pressed her body against the car.

Lin Qingran's back ached from being pressed against the car's metal shell.

"Gu Moxuan! You can't be here."

Although there was no one else around, she still couldn't accept the empty space.

She is rather conservative about this type of thinking.

However, the man seemed not to hear her words and reached out to stroke her skin.

His long, slender fingers traced across her delicate, fair neck, slowly moving downwards.

Lin Qingran felt as if an electric current had flashed through her body, making her feel numb and tingly all over.

Her thick, long eyelashes trembled slightly. When Gu Moxuan saw her reaction, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"You say no, but your body still goes along with it?"

"Lin Qingran, what are you pretending to be so high-definition in front of me?"

"Have you forgotten how you climbed into my bed and made me marry you right here?"

Bringing up the old story only brought her endless embarrassment.

But he seemed to really enjoy seeing her embarrassed.

He suddenly ripped off her collar, and a cold wind whistled through her as she couldn't help but shiver.

"I was wrong. Gu Moxuan, I was wrong three years ago. I regret it."

She looked at him, her thick eyelashes frosted with a few drops of tears.

Gu Moxuan paused slightly, his eyes sharp as he looked at her.

"You regret it and want a divorce?"

"Lin Qingran, I am not someone you can just throw away!"

As he spoke, he bent down, and with the sound of clothes tearing, Lin Qingran froze.

She bit her lip tightly, looking at the man in front of her with a hint of panic.

"Gu Moxuan, please, please don't stay here."

However, his words did not stop the man from all his actions; instead, they triggered a new wave of violence.

He was determined to humiliate her, so he naturally tortured her in every way.

Gu Moxuan's eyes narrowed as he watched her skin gradually turn frostbite-like. He muttered a curse under his breath, then immediately wrapped her in his clothes and carried her inside.

Although no one has lived here for two years, the environment and sanitation are kept very clean, no different from when it was inhabited.

Gu Moxuan would come here to sit for a while every now and then when he had free time.

So, although there have never been any servants here, someone has always come to clean on time.

In her daze, Lin Qingran felt as if she were in a warm pool.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Gu Moxuan pouring warm water over her body, helping her take a bath.

Upon seeing him, Lin Qingran instantly became much more alert, opened her eyes, and looked at him warily.

"I will do it myself."

As she spoke, she took the showerhead from his hand.

Gu Moxuan frowned as he looked at her wary eyes, then stood up from the bathtub, slammed the door, and left.

Hearing his footsteps gradually fade into the distance, Lin Qingran breathed a sigh of relief.

After washing up, she went out wrapped in a bathrobe. There were no other clothes for her, so she could only lie on the bed in her bathrobe.

That night, Gu Moxuan did not leave Maple Forest Villa, but he also did not return to his bedroom.

Early the next morning.

When Lin Qingran woke up, a woman in a business suit was standing beside her.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the other person tidying up the room. Only when she saw Lin Qingran wake up did she respectfully walk to Lin Qingran's side.

"Mr. Gu asked me to come and take care of you."

Her voice was steady and calm; she was only in her early thirties.

Lin Qingran had never seen such a person by Gu Moxuan's side before, so she couldn't help but be a little wary of this strange woman who suddenly appeared.

"I don't need anyone to take care of me, you can leave."

As Lin Qingran was speaking, she was about to get out of bed when she realized that her ankle was wrapped in gauze when her foot touched the ground.

She frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Who's been pestering her like this?

Judging from the awkward way it's wrapped, it's probably not the work of a professional.

Lin Qingran was filled with deep doubt.

She's always been a light sleeper. Could it be that she didn't even notice when Gu Moxuan went back to his room last night?

"Madam, this is the medicine that Mr. Gu instructed you to drink. He said that even if you are about to leave, he will watch you drink it before you leave."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran's expression changed drastically.

She glanced at the pills in the other person's hand and the water glass in her hand, and gave a cold smile.

"He made me drink it?"

The woman opposite him nodded respectfully.

"The master specifically instructed that you be watched to drink it before you are allowed to leave."

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, picked up her phone from the side, and dialed Gu Moxuan's number directly.

After a short while, the other party answered the phone, but did not speak.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.

"Mr. Gu, didn't I say that as long as I dare to give birth, you dare to raise the child?"

"What kind of nonsense is it to force me to take medicine so early in the morning?"

Gu Moxuan remained silent for a moment, then spoke in a cold voice.

"I'm still in a meeting, we'll talk later."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Lin Qingran gritted her teeth and dialed Gu Moxuan's number again.

However, Gu Moxuan did not answer the phone this time.

The woman in work clothes stood beside Lin Qingran, her expression somewhat awkward, but she still spoke respectfully.

"Madam, you may have misunderstood. This is not a drug for that purpose; it is a fever reducer."

Lin Qingran paused for a moment as she listened to her words, her hand holding the phone still.

"Fever reducer?"

The other party nodded cautiously.

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, before gently rubbing her forehead.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your other things. I'll eat in a bit."

The other person did not leave, but stood respectfully in front of her.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, knowing that Gu Moxuan's people all obeyed him, so she took the pills and swallowed them.

"Madam, please take care of yourself. If you need anything, please feel free to ask. I'll be downstairs."

Lin Qingran nodded, watched the other person walk out, and then spoke slowly.

"What's your name? How many years have you been with Gu Moxuan?"

The other person stopped and turned to look at Lin Qingran, answering respectfully.

"My name is Mo Qing, and I have been in charge of housekeeping at Maple Forest Manor for two years."
