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

Both Lin Qingran's congratulatory gift and Lin Hao's appearance made Ms. Chen feel extremely proud.

Looking down at Lu Xueqi, who was sitting in a wheelchair and unable to do anything, he felt disgusted.

Lu Xueqi noticed that Ms. Chen glanced at her before leading Lin Qingran and Lin Jinjin towards where Sheng Xia was sitting, feeling resentful.

Lin Qingran saw Sheng Xia and Gong Juncheng together, raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lin Jinjin, and then whispered to Lin Hao.

"Big brother, I'm going to the restroom. Could you take Xiao Jinjin over there? She hasn't seen Shengxia in a long time, and she'll probably cling to her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao glanced at Lin Qingran knowingly, then picked up Lin Jinjin and walked towards Sheng Xia.

When Lin Jinjin saw Sheng Xia, her expression showed extreme excitement.

"Godmother".

She hadn't seen the height of summer in a while.

When Sheng Xia saw Lin Jinjin rushing towards her, and Lin Hao almost missed catching her, she immediately stood up and reached out to hug Lin Jinjin.

"You child, this is too dangerous."

Sheng Xia took Lin Jinjin into her arms and could still feel her own nervous heartbeat.

Seeing that Sheng Xia was hugging Lin Jinjin, Lin Hao let go of her hand.

Lin Hao is, after all, the current mayor of Beicheng. As soon as he appears, people naturally want to curry favor with him.

"Mayor Lin, I am..."

Lin Hao had just taken his seat when he heard someone call his name. He then stood up, shook hands with the person in a gentle and refined manner, and said softly.

"Hello."

The other party briefly stated their purpose, and Lin Hao listened quietly. After the other party finished speaking, he said in a calm voice.

"I have submitted my resignation. Now all matters are being handled by the mayor's special assistant, and we are waiting for the new mayor to take office."

He spoke slowly, his expression calm.

"However, I have received your request, and I will pass it on to you."

Lin Hao wore a smile, exuding a gentle and refined air.

Upon hearing Lin Hao's words, Sheng Xia's body stiffened instinctively, and she stared blankly at Lin Hao.

Lin Hao sat down again after the other person left.

Seeing Sheng Xia looking at him with a hint of surprise, he smiled gently and said nothing.

Sheng Xia took a deep breath, looked at Lin Hao with an incredulous gaze, and said in a heavy tone.

"Are you crazy? Quitting your job?"

This time, Lin Hao's competitors don't have many supporters, so Lin Hao has a good chance of being re-elected.

Even if he doesn't get re-elected, Lin Hao has a very high chance of being promoted.

Gong Juncheng's information has always been very accurate.

Gong Juncheng told her all this information.

That's why Sheng Xia deliberately kept her distance from Lin Hao during this period, and even avoided contacting him whenever possible.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hao brought such news during this meeting.

“Miss Sheng, every decision I make is the result of careful consideration. How could I be crazy again?”

Lin Hao looked at Sheng Xia calmly, his eyes indifferent.

Sheng Xia took a deep breath, her expression becoming more somber.

She shoved Lin Jinjin into Gong Juncheng's arms and said in a low voice.

“Let’s talk privately.”

"You keep an eye on Xiao Jinjin for me."

Gong Juncheng was stunned to find himself suddenly holding a child in his arms. Before he could react, he saw Sheng Xia get up and pull Lin Hao away.

Although Lin Jinjin had seen Gong Juncheng before, she wasn't familiar with him, so when Sheng Xia put her in Gong Juncheng's arms, Lin Jinjin didn't react.

Realizing she was being held by a strange uncle, Lin Jinjin immediately pouted, her face fell, and she burst into tears.

Gong Juncheng had never held or taken care of a child before, and now that he heard Lin Jinjin crying like this, he felt a headache coming on.

"Don't cry. Uncle will take you to buy candy later."

When Ms. Chen heard Lin Jinjin crying, she almost immediately reached out to hug Lin Jinjin, but Lin Jinjin waved her away.

She would rather sit in Gong Juncheng's arms and cry than let Ms. Chen hold her.

She still harbored a sense of repulsion towards Ms. Chen.

Just as Gong Juncheng was holding Lin Jinjin at a loss, a pair of hands reached out to him and took Lin Jinjin from his arms.

"Okay, stop crying, Daddy's here."

Gu Moxuan's voice was very gentle. As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of Lin Jinjin's eyes.

Lin Jinjin stopped crying when she found herself in the arms of someone familiar, but she still pouted, her big, watery eyes staring at Gu Moxuan, tears welling up in them, making her look even more pitiful.

"I want to find my mommy."

Lin Jinjin looked at Gu Moxuan and said, sobbing.

Gu Moxuan felt as if his heart was about to melt under her gaze, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, his eyes reddening slightly.

Seeing how gentle Gu Moxuan was with Lin Jinjin, Ms. Chen immediately spoke up.

"Qingran went to the restroom. I saw her walk towards the backyard, so she must have gone there."

Upon hearing this, Gu Moxuan nodded, picked up Lin Jinjin, and went out to search.

Lin Qingran was indeed in the backyard, but not in the bathroom.

She came here to create an opportunity for Lin Hao and Sheng Xia. Looking at the familiar scene, her expression was slightly melancholy.

The Gu family and the Lin family have always had a good relationship.

When Lin Qingran was a child, she often came to the Gu family's place. At that time, the Gu family's place was not called Maple Forest Manor.

Now, seeing these scenes again, everything is the same as before, but the fates of all of them seem to have changed.

"The child is crying for you, but you're just here admiring the scenery."

Lin Qingran paused when she heard Gu Moxuan's voice, then turned around and saw Gu Moxuan carrying Lin Jinjin and walking towards her.

Lin Jinjin had tears in the corners of her eyes, clearly she had been crying.

Gu Moxuan was wearing a black suit today, with some ripples embroidered on the black jacket, which looked very high-end.

Lin Qingran glanced at him briefly, walked over, and was about to take the child from him.

However, just as she reached out her hand, Gu Moxuan grabbed it.

Gu Moxuan's eyes were cold and sharp as he gripped her wrist tightly, speaking in a chilling tone.

"What did you do in City A?"

Lin Qingran paused for a moment upon hearing Gu Moxuan's questioning voice, and then spoke calmly.

"What I do in City A doesn't seem to have anything to do with President Gu."

"Mr. Gu, have you forgotten that we are already divorced, and you're about to get engaged to Miss Lu?"

Gu Moxuan frowned upon hearing Lin Qingran's words and spoke in a low voice.

"I will not marry her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran paused for a moment, her eyes filled with confusion.

"There's been progress in the car accident investigation. Give me some time; we've eliminated the dangers around you and Jinjin."

Gu Moxuan looked at Lin Qingran with a firm and deep gaze, and the two fell silent.

After a while, Gu Moxuan said in a deep voice.

"Lin Qingran, can't you choose to trust me just this once?"
