Gu Moxuan stared at Lin Qingran with cold, fierce eyes, his gaze burning as if he wanted to incinerate her.

Lin Qingran sat quietly in her office chair, her expression unmoved.

After a long while, Gu Moxuan's gloomy warning voice rang out.

“I know you are cunning and scheming. I failed to protect Xiao Ruo three years ago, but three years later, I will never let you touch a hair on her head again.”

Lin Qingran stared at him expressionlessly and motionless for a long time before calmly speaking.

"Gu Moxuan, actually I regret it quite a bit, I regret everything I did three years ago."

"Companionship is the best long-term mirror to reveal true character. Perhaps if you let Lin Xiaoruo stay by your side for three years, you will be able to see clearly what kind of person she really is."

She stated expressionlessly, "Perhaps then you wouldn't have been so attached to it."

Unable to hysterically vent her dissatisfaction, she could only control her emotions and prevent him from noticing anything.

"Mr. Gu, there's no point in saying more. I still have work to do. Please take care."

Gu Moxuan looked at her with a cold expression, his face showing no change whatsoever.

Before he even got up, she picked up the documents beside her and started flipping through them, completely ignoring him.

This feeling of being ignored made Gu Moxuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Moxuan sat quietly opposite her, not getting up immediately, but looking at Lin Qingran with a cold gaze.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lin Qingran looked up and calmly met his eyes.

"Mr. Gu, is there anything else?"

Gu Moxuan frowned slightly. They had been married for three years, and he had ignored her for three years. She always treated him with such indifference.

He addressed her as "President Gu" repeatedly.

Despite her coldness, she told everyone that she had only ever loved him.

How could he possibly believe that?

Thinking about this, Gu Moxuan suddenly felt a little disgusted by the cold and beautiful person in front of him.

He might just be a tool for her to use!

She's a woman who has no heart at all.

A moment later, Cheng Ya's anxious voice rang out from outside the door.

"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, you can't go in."

"Miss Lin..."

The office door was pushed open from the outside. Cheng Ya stood in front of Lin Xiaoruo, and when she saw the door being pushed open, she looked at Lin Qingran awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I couldn't stop them."

Lin Qingran remained calm, glancing indifferently at Lin Xiaoruo who had rushed over, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

"It's alright, I've already discussed it with President Gu."

Seeing Gu Moxuan sitting quietly in the seat opposite Lin Qingran, Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath, controlled her emotions, and walked over.

She was wearing a pure white dress, which made her look delicate and harmless.

She walked slowly and gracefully to Gu Moxuan's side, her every move resembling that of a lady from a respectable family.

"Mo Xuan, you're here too. I'm here to talk to my sister about Miss Vera."

Gu Moxuan remained expressionless. He glanced at Lin Qingran sitting opposite him and saw that her expression also remained unchanged.

She was calm and composed, almost unbelievably so.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Gu Moxuan's eyes. He clenched his fist slightly, then pulled out a chair for Lin Xiaoruo to sit down.

"Vera, is she the celebrity we were at the dinner table with earlier?"

Lin Xiaoruo nodded and said softly.

"Yes, Vera and I had a very good chat, and Vera has recently expressed interest in joining our company."

"Mo Xuan, you shouldn't refuse, right? Vera already has a fan base. With a little packaging, she'll definitely become a big star."

Gu Moxuan looked at Lin Xiaoruo with great interest.

"Ms. Vera is exceptionally beautiful and unforgettable; she's sure to become a big star in this industry."

Lin Xiaoruo's expression showed surprise and delight, and she couldn't help but pull on Gu Moxuan's arm.

"But Vera is an artist under Shen Huai's company. If she wants to switch companies, she will have to pay a penalty for breach of contract."

"However, if you're willing to let her go, everything will be much easier. You have other PR people working for besides Vera, so you'll definitely let her go, right?"

Looking at Lin Xiaoruo's current weak and frail appearance, Lin Qingran's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.

"Of course I'll let go. After all, who wouldn't like to have a decent income without having to work?"

"So you mean you're going to pay this penalty for Miss Vera?"

Before Lin Xiaoruo could speak, Lin Qingran gestured to Cheng Ya, who was standing at the door.

"Assistant Cheng, take her to our company's finance office, pay the penalty for breach of contract, and prepare the termination contract."

Lin Xiaoruo paused.

Lin Qingran's preemptive strike left her with absolutely no chance to retaliate.

She immediately looked to Gu Moxuan for help.

Gu Moxuan met Lin Qingran's cold gaze, then took out his bank card and pushed it in front of her.

"How much? By card?"

Lin Xiaoruo was overjoyed and looked at Lin Qingran with a slightly smug look in her eyes.

But Lin Qingran stared at the bank card for a moment, unmoved.

The expression on her face didn't even change.

Lin Xiaoruo's joy at the victory was diminished considerably by Lin Qingran's calm demeanor.

After a while, Lin Qingran reached out her slender, fair fingers, picked up the bank card on the table, and handed it to Cheng Ya.

"Mr. Gu is indeed a straightforward person, go ahead and swipe it."

Cheng Ya took the bank card that Lin Qingran handed over.

She had previously thought there might be something going on between Lin Qingran and Gu Moxuan, but now, seeing how Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran interact, she felt they didn't seem like the rumored couple at all.

Where else can you find a couple so indifferent to each other?

Cheng Ya went to swipe her card with a question in her mind.

Lin Qingran drafted a termination agreement that she had prepared long ago. Her slender and delicate fingers danced lightly on the keyboard, unaffected by anything.

Lin Xiaoruo glanced to the side and saw that Gu Moxuan's gaze was fixed on Lin Qingran, who was typing.

Her heart tightened, and a strange sense of threat welled up inside her.

"Mo Xuan, I'll go call Miss Vera and ask her to come up."

Gu Moxuan nodded, without shifting his gaze.

Lin Xiaoruo bit her lip secretly. She was about to get up and go out to make a phone call, but when she saw that Gu Moxuan's gaze seemed to be glued to Lin Qingran, she felt dissatisfied and looked up at Lin Qingran.

"Sister, I'm just making a phone call here. You won't mind, will you?"

Lin Qingran's expression remained unchanged.

"If I were to say I mind, would you go out and fight?"

Lin Xiaoruo remained silent.

Lin Qingran's calm demeanor made her feel like an invulnerable warrior, leaving her completely at a loss for how to approach him.

She bit her lip secretly, knowing that dealing with someone like Lin Qingran required patience and a slow approach.

As long as Gu Moxuan is still willing to stand by her side, Lin Qingran has no chance of winning.

"Then I'll take it as you don't mind."

Lin Xiaoru smiled gently and dialed Vera's number in front of Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran.
