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

Nie Yuan's enthusiasm and cheerfulness made Lin Qingran feel a little uncomfortable, so she slowly got up and said coolly.

"I will settle the bill for you along with the old lady's."

Her attitude was indifferent, without a smile. Nie Yuan composed himself and saw that she was about to walk out barefoot again, so he took out a pair of shoes from under his desk and threw them in front of Lin Qingran.

"I just finished bandaging you, and you're walking around on the ground again. Are you trying to waste all my effort?"

Lin Qingran was about to leave the doctor's office when she heard Nie Yuan's words and stopped in her tracks.

What he threw on the ground was a brand new pair of men's slippers, still in their packaging.

"Thank you."

She picked up the slippers from the ground and put them on.

Seeing her polite demeanor, Nie Yuan crossed his arms and looked down at the woman with outstanding temperament in front of him.

"Looks like I have to be a bit harsher with you for you to get used to it. Are you a masochist?"

When Lin Qingran put on her slippers and looked up, her clear eyes appeared cold and aloof.

"Dr. Nie, everyone has their own personality and way of handling things. Dr. Nie, how should I treat someone I've just met?"

Nie Yuan was taken aback when he heard her call him in a light and gentle tone.

Then I remembered that my name was on the doorplate.

She is a true ice queen.

Nie Yuan admitted that he was somewhat interested in her and was also attracted to her.

Now, seeing her questioning him with such righteous indignation, he also found it pleasing to the eye.

"You're right. I just wanted to get your attention, but it backfired. I'm Nie Yuan, may I ask your surname, Miss?"

Nie Yuan's shamelessness meant he wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he reached out his hand and looked at Lin Qingran with a smile.

"My surname is Lin."

Lin Qingran casually stated her surname, then glanced at Nie Yuan's hand but did not reach out to shake it.

She sensed some goodwill in Nie Yuan's gaze as he looked at her, and then spoke softly.

"Dr. Nie, may I borrow your phone? I want to call my husband."

"husband?"

Nie Yuan's bright eyes dimmed almost instantly.

Lin Qingran nodded, "Yes, I was in a hurry when I came and didn't bring my phone. If it's inconvenient for Dr. Nie, then it's alright."

For a moment, Nie Yuan felt as if the flower that had bloomed in his heart had suddenly withered.

He awkwardly pulled his phone out of his white coat pocket and handed it to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran took the phone, saw that the screen was locked with a password, and looked up at him.

Nie Yuan then picked up his phone again and hurriedly entered the password.

He just flirted with a married woman.

Nie Yuan wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Lin Qingran's eyes were indifferent, and her expression remained largely unchanged, showing a calm and composed demeanor.

Gu Moxuan's personal phone automatically blocks unknown numbers, so she chose to call Yan Sui.

"Hello, I'm Yan Sui. May I ask...?"

Yan Sui's voice was as polite as ever.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath and said softly.

"Grandma Gu has had an asthma attack and is currently in the hospital. Assistant Yan, please inform Gu Moxuan. We are at Renxin Hospital now."

Yan Sui was stunned when he heard Lin Qingran's voice. Before he could react, Lin Qingran had already hung up the phone.

Gu Moxuan and Lin Xiaoruo are also at Renxin Hospital.

Although Lin Xiaoruo's face was burned, it wasn't very serious.

Although the water was scalding hot, it had been sitting unused for a while, so it only made her face a little red. With some burn ointment, she would recover quickly.

Seeing Gu Moxuan's cold and sullen expression, Lin Xiaoruo could clearly see his impatience in his eyes, even though he didn't say anything.

"Mo Xuan, the doctor said I'm fine. It's probably because I was too nervous at the time."

“Grandma and my sister are still at Lanting International. Let’s go back and find them. I will explain to Grandma that we will move out tomorrow.”

She bit her lip, which was completely bloodless from the pressure.

The medical supply bag was wrapped around her fingers several times, showing that she was feeling conflicted and helpless.

Gu Moxuan indifferently shifted his gaze away from her, his tone normal.

"Where can you move to? Just stay there, I'll take care of it."

Upon hearing Gu Moxuan's words, Lin Xiaoruo couldn't help but smile, but she quickly lowered her eyes again.

"No, Mo Xuan, I know you want to help me, but if it causes a conflict between you and Grandma because of me, I will definitely feel guilty."

“I know it hasn’t been easy for you all these years in the Gu family. Now that you’ve finally achieved this, everyone in the Gu family looks at you with new respect.”

"If it's because of me..., I don't want to be a burden to you."

Lin Xiaoruo hung her head, looking dejected.

She gripped Gu Moxuan's sleeve, biting her lip tightly.

"Mo Xuan, I don't want to be a burden to you."

Gu Moxuan was stunned.

burden?

He knows all too well what it feels like to be a burden to others.

He was someone's burden back then!

How could he bear to see Lin Xiaoruo become a burden to him?

Lin Xiaoruo sobbed softly, her shoulders trembling slightly with emotion.

"Xiao Ruo, you are not a burden to me, never will be."

When Lin Qingran went downstairs to buy fruit, she saw Gu Moxuan and Lin Xiaoru embracing each other in the outpatient department.

This was the first time she had ever seen Gu Moxuan comfort someone so gently.

His broad palm gently stroked Lin Xiaoruo's back, as if he were worried that Lin Xiaoruo might faint.

Lin Qingran stood still, a sharp pain shooting through the wound on her foot, but it couldn't stop the bleeding in her heart.

What she had dreamed of and longed for was, for Lin Xiaoruo, merely a matter of a performance.

Lin Qingran sighed helplessly and turned around, bumping into the food deliveryman who was delivering the food.

A plate of food was poured over her, and Lin Qingran, who lost her balance, fell to the ground, her head soaked with soup and food.

She had never felt so humiliated in her life.

The dual torment of her mind and body left her exhausted, and she also had to endure the mocking and gossipy stares of others.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Qingran wanted to seize this moment of grievance and burst into tears.

But she knew that crying here wouldn't get her what she wanted.

She held back her tears, her eyes red and swollen.

The deliveryman's apologies and the surrounding noise made her feel somewhat dazed.

Looking at the mess of soup and vegetables on the ground, Lin Qingran felt a headache coming on.

"Sorry, how much is it? I'll pay you back in a bit. Room 606, I'll bring it to you."

As she spoke, she walked towards the stairwell. If she stayed there any longer, she would really be unable to hold back her tears.

My heart feels so heavy.

There was no one in the stairwell. Lin Qingran held onto the handrail for support, and as she bent over, tears streamed down her face.

She ultimately couldn't hold back those annoying tears.

She didn't want to cry.

I really don't want to cry.
