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

Shen Huai gazed at the face of the fourth wife of the Huo family, which was so well-maintained that it had no wrinkles whatsoever.

For a fleeting moment, he felt that the ambiguous smile of the fourth wife of the Huo family was very much like Lin Qingran.

But soon, the fourth wife of the Huo family regained her kind smile.

"Perhaps it's fate. When I was young, I always wanted to be a socialite who would be the center of attention."

"Seeing Miss Lin reminds me of the dreams I had when I was a girl. She has become the kind of person I wanted to be, so it's natural for me to want to get closer to her."

As Mrs. Huo spoke, her gaze fell on Shen Huai, her smile amiable.

"Perhaps this is Miss Lin's unique charm."

She chuckled softly, her gaze fixed on the glittering banquet downstairs, a hint of melancholy creeping into her kind eyes, weathered by time.

Shen Huai stood quietly to the side, then made an inviting gesture.

"Since this is your first time visiting the North City, Fourth Madam, would you like me to show you around?"

Mrs. Huo shook her head gently.

"No need, this is your world, young people. This old woman won't go down and join the fun."

She said softly, then, holding onto the handrail, slowly walked upstairs.

"I'm going upstairs to rest now. I'm very grateful to Shen Shaodong for the introduction today."

Shen Huai remained silent.

He watched the back of the fourth wife of the Huo family as she went upstairs, and felt that although the fourth wife of the Huo family was old, she still had a high-class and aloof aura that made it impossible for people to look away.

She walked slowly upstairs, her every gesture exuding an elegance and grace refined by time.

Shen Huai actually saw the shadow of Lin Qingran in Mrs. Huo.

But he didn't think much of it and turned to go downstairs.

With Gu Moxuan absent from the party, Shen Huai naturally became the most popular person.

But since there was no party with Lin Qingran, Shen Huai naturally wouldn't linger. After exchanging a few pleasantries with a few familiar elders, he made an excuse and slipped away.

He walked out of the party, about to call Lin Qingran to ask where she was.

But then he saw a figure in a white dress walking towards him.

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows slightly and curved his thin lips into a slight smile.

"Miss Lin."

Seeing that Shen Huai had deliberately stopped to wait for her, Lin Xiaoruo smiled slightly, walked to Shen Huai's side, and said softly.

"I saw Shen Shaodong upstairs just now. I was going to go up and say hello, but I couldn't find you, so I decided to come out and try my luck."

Shen Huai looked at Lin Xiaoruo with a half-smile, then took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it.

"Miss Lin, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. You've gone to so much trouble to find me, you wouldn't happen to want to sign a contract with me, would you?"

Lin Xiaoruo chuckled softly.

“Shen Shaodong knew perfectly well that this was impossible.”

Shen Huai chuckled as well, "It's impossible, just like I'll never be able to sign Qingran and make her her own. You'll just stick to Gu Moxuan like a leech."

Shen Huai's analogy made Lin Xiaoruo's expression falter.

Since she wants to enter the entertainment industry and become an artist, Lin Xiaoruo has been studying facial expression management recently.

So even though Shen Huai's words displeased her, she didn't show it too obviously.

She still had a faint smile on her face; her delicate features, paired with the gentle smile, were quite pleasing to the eye.

Shen Huai's mind was entirely on Lin Qingran. How could a daisy like Lin Xiaoruo compare to an iceberg like Lin Qingran for him?

“Shen Shaodong, I know you’ve always liked my sister. You grew up with her, and everyone knows what that means.”

Shen Huai looked at Lin Xiaoruo calmly, his expression unmoved.

The small red dot on his cigarette butt flickered in the darkness.

"Hmm? So what? Did my devotion move you, so you're planning to abandon Gu Moxuan and be with me?"

Lin Xiaoruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Huai joking with her at this time.

"Shen Shaodong, I know you only have my sister in your heart. Even if I wanted to be with you, you wouldn't accept me."

She had intended to please Shen Huai, but Shen Huai simply went along with what she was saying.

"No, I can never have too many women."

"Just like Gu Moxuan married a stunningly beautiful woman like Qingran, doesn't he still have you by his side?"

Lin Xiaoruo gritted her teeth inwardly.

“Shen Shaodong, I know how desperately you want Lin Qingran, and I am just as desperate.”

"Gu Moxuan cares a lot about the relationship between you and Lin Qingran, so let's cooperate."

She believed that as long as Lin Qingran angered Gu Moxuan, Gu Moxuan would still divorce Lin Qingran.

Shen Huai's calm eyes flickered, like the red dot of a cigarette butt held between his fingers, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

“Miss Lin, I think you’ve come to the wrong person. I am very anxious, but I would never hurt the person I love. I don’t know what kind of taste Gu Moxuan has that he would fall for a woman like you.”

He stated the facts in a cold and indifferent manner, then threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and crushed it out with the tip of his shoe.

"I'll pretend I never heard of this topic today. If Miss Ruolin contacts me again next time, I'll just have to record it and send it to Gu Moxuan."

Upon hearing Shen Huai's words, Lin Xiaoruo's expression changed, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Shen Huai chuckled softly and said in a low voice.

"We haven't recorded anything yet, so don't be nervous."

As he spoke, he pressed the car key in his hand, and the Ferrari's door opened like a butterfly's wing.

He bent down and climbed into the car to sit down, then glanced at a nanny van not far away.

Lin Xiaoru followed his gaze and saw a nanny van quickly start and drive away.

Her expression suddenly darkened.

Throughout the entire process, Shen Huai knew that paparazzi were secretly filming them.

But Shen Huai was still able to maintain a smile and talk to her, leading her into the trap.

Now these paparazzi are probably trying to figure out what kind of relationship she has with Shen Huai.

However, Shen Huai and Gu Moxuan happen to be rivals.

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath and gritted her teeth inwardly.

She knew the gap between herself and Lin Qingran. In front of Gu Moxuan, there were some mistakes that Lin Qingran could make, but she absolutely could not.

She currently only has a small reputation in the industry because of Gu Moxuan, and hasn't accumulated any fans yet, so she doesn't need to worry about causing any impact.

Fortunately, she is now the spokesperson for XH's new product, so Gu Moxuan can explain it away.

Lin Xiaoruo stood there for a while, and when she saw Yan Sui watching the car drive by, she bit her lip and controlled her emotions.

One day, she will be able to do what Lin Qingran did, never bowing her head to beg anyone.

Yan Sui parked the car in front of Lin Xiaoruo, got out, opened the car door, and looked respectful.

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Gu sent me to pick you up."

Lin Xiaoruo nodded slightly and sat down in the back seat.

"Where is Mo Xuan? Is he staying at the company again tonight?"

Yan Sui calmly replied, "President Gu has already returned to Sixiang Garden."

Lin Xiaoru frowned and clenched her fists slightly.
