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

She looked at Gong Juncheng with extreme calmness, her eyes even showing a hint of a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

In the northern part of the city, there are very few people who can look Gong Juncheng in the eye like that.

Lin Qingran is incredibly bold.

Gu Moxuan watched from the side, his brows furrowing slightly.

Gong Juncheng deliberately arranged this dinner here tonight, clearly to make things difficult for Mu Ya'an.

Lin Qingran's demand for people in front of Gong Juncheng is a direct challenge to Gong Juncheng's dignity.

"What's wrong, Mr. Gong? Are you reluctant to let go? Sheng Xia wouldn't do anything to Miss Mu."

Seeing this, Mu Ya'an looked up at Lin Qingran, only to find Lin Qingran's face calm and her tone exceptionally composed as she spoke, leaving Mu Ya'an somewhat puzzled.

Regardless, Lin Qingran's appearance saved her from the predicament.

For Mu Ya'an, being made to serve Gong Juncheng and Mu Wanwan their meals was worse than death.

She knew that Sheng Xia's visit to her was just an excuse.

Gong Juncheng indifferently withdrew his gaze from Lin Qingran, his slender fingers toying with the wine glass placed in front of him, his cold eyes revealing little emotion.

"She's just a waitress; Miss Lin can take her away if she wants. But if Sheng Xia wants to see her, why doesn't she come herself?"

He's just a waiter.

These words were a devastating blow to Mu Ya'an's heart.

When Mu Ya'an moved out of Lanhe Garden, she knew that without Gong Juncheng's protection, things wouldn't be so easy for her in Beicheng.

But when she returned to H City, her options were already limited.

H City is no longer what it used to be.

Rather than going back and becoming a laughingstock, it's better to develop here.

She didn't intend to work as a waitress for long.

Currently, the restaurant pays its waitresses a very good salary, which is enough for her to live on.

Upon hearing Gong Juncheng's words, Mu Wanwan's lips curled slightly, her eyes filled with mockery. She walked over and sat down next to Gong Juncheng, taking his arm in hers and speaking in a deliberately coquettish tone.

“Brother Juncheng, you're making my sister serve us food here. She must be feeling really awkward. Why don't you let her and Miss Lin leave?”

Mu Wanwan appeared to be speaking up for Mu Ya'an, but her eyes were full of provocation when she looked at Mu Ya'an.

She clung tightly to Gong Juncheng's arm, pressing her entire body against him, appearing intimately close to him.

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath and stood quietly to the side.

Gong Juncheng glanced coldly at Mu Wanwan and said in a chilling tone.

"Since when have you had the right to speak here?"

Mu Wanwan was stunned when she heard Gong Juncheng's extremely cold voice. She looked up at Gong Juncheng, wanting to see his expression at that moment.

When her gaze met Gong Juncheng's cold expression, she immediately lowered her head.

Gong Juncheng's personality has always been difficult to understand.

She might be able to sit here and eat right now, but the next second Gong Juncheng will kick her out.

Mu Wanwan bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with a hint of fear.

Throughout the entire process, Gu Moxuan acted like a bystander, neither speaking up for Lin Qingran nor making things difficult for her.

Lu Xueqi sat quietly to the side, watching Gu Moxuan's current behavior, feeling relatively at ease.

Their relationship seems to be slowly developing into that of strangers.

That's actually quite good.

Since we don't have to argue about the children, we've had less contact with them.

"Gong Juncheng, you're just a lowly waiter, why are you trying to take it from me? What do you mean by that?"

Just as the atmosphere was eerily quiet, Shengxia's voice came from the doorway.

She opened the door to the private room herself and stepped inside.

Mu Wanwan had just been holding Gong Juncheng's arm, but when she saw Sheng Xia walk in, she immediately let go of his arm awkwardly.

Everyone knows just how unruly Shengxia's temper is.

Mu Wanwan really didn't dare to offend Sheng Xia.

When Chen Cen'an saw Sheng Xia walk in, his expression immediately turned to surprise.

He had been idly watching the show, but his eyes lit up when he saw Sheng Xia come in.

This type of summer dish is exactly what he likes.

Sheng Xia strode into the private room, pulled out a chair, sat down, and arrogantly glanced at Mu Wanwan sitting next to Gong Juncheng.

"You really know how to have fun."

When Mu Wanwan saw Sheng Xia's gaze fall on her, she felt a strange sense of guilt.

She bit her lip secretly, having the unsettling feeling of being caught cheating.

“Miss Sheng, please don’t misunderstand. Mr. Gong and I have nothing going on. We’re just having a simple dinner tonight. If you mind, I’ll leave now.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xia raised an eyebrow and watched as Mu Wanwan was about to get up, but she didn't take a step away. A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

"Why don't you leave?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine.

At this moment, Gong Juncheng did not try to stop her, but Sheng Xia was waiting for her to leave, even though she didn't really want to go.

For a moment, the atmosphere remained tense.

She then looked to Lu Xueqi for help.

Lu Xueqi sat calmly to the side.

Seeing Mu Wanwan looking at her for help, Lu Xueqi's eyes changed slightly. Then she forced a smile, looked at Sheng Xia, and said softly.

“Miss Sheng, we’re all friends, there’s no need to be so confrontational. Aren’t you looking for Miss Mu? The dishes are all set up here, you can take Miss Mu away anytime.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xia turned to look at Lu Xueqi with a smile on her face and sharp words.

"Lu Xueqi, who are you friends with? Of all the people here, I can be friends with anyone but you. Stop trying to make yourself look good."

“I’m not only taking Mu Ya’an with me, I’m taking her to my company. Mr. Gong, please be nicer to my company’s employees in the future. This kind of humiliation is really unnecessary.”

Upon hearing Sheng Xia's words, Chen Cen'an's expression suddenly turned to astonishment.

In Beicheng, probably no one would dare to speak to Gong Juncheng like that; Sheng Xia is the first.

Gong Juncheng looked at Sheng Xia, his eyes filled with cold sharpness.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Sheng Xia slowly rose from her chair, placing her hands on the dining table. Far from being afraid of Gong Juncheng, she leaned closer to him, her eyes filled with an unreadable emotion.

"You want me to be well, and I want you to be well too. Gong Juncheng, sometimes, childish revenge is just torturing yourself."

After she finished speaking, she grabbed Mu Ya'an's hand and walked outside.

Gong Juncheng took a deep breath, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly, then took Lin Jinjin from Gu Moxuan's arms and held her in her hands, her tone calm and gentle.

"Jinjin, would you like to come over for a meal with Mommy?"

Lin Jinjin had been sitting in Gu Moxuan's lap the whole time. Although she didn't understand anything, she knew that the atmosphere here was strange.

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, she immediately nodded obediently.
