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

Chapter 40 What He Didn't Want

"What are you doing here?"

Gu Moxuan's cold voice rang out from behind him, devoid of any warmth.

Lin Qingran immediately stood up. Although her back was to Gu Moxuan, the expression on her face no longer showed the previous sense of grievance.

She took a deep breath, her expression cold.

"You've come at the right time. Grandma is in room 606. Go and see her. I'm going back to change my clothes."

The smell of soup and vegetables mixed with the odor of sweat was extremely unpleasant, making Lin Qingran want to gag.

Gu Moxuan's face darkened when he saw that the person who had been in a weak state just moments before immediately regained his aloof demeanor upon hearing his voice.

Yan Sui had just called him, and he was about to go up to the inpatient department when he unexpectedly saw Lin Qingran here.

Lin Xiaoruo walked into the stairwell behind Gu Moxuan. When she saw Lin Qingran, who was in a disheveled state, her expression was somewhat shocked.

More often than not, it was schadenfreude.

She had never seen Lin Qingran so disheveled before; today was quite an eye-opener for her.

"Is Grandma sick? Moxuan, you should go upstairs and check on her."

Gu Moxuan stared at Lin Qingran, his face cold and stern.

"I'll take you back."

Lin Xiaoruo paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Moxuan with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, his first thought was not to go see the old lady of the Gu family, but to send Lin Qingran back.

She clenched her hands tightly, knowing full well that Gu Moxuan's words weren't directed at her, but still continued as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"No need, Moxuan, I can go back by myself. Grandma's matter is more important."

Lin Qingran tightened her grip on the handrail.

“If you don’t go to take care of the old lady, then I will have to call someone else to come. The old lady is alone in the ward now, and it won’t do without someone to take care of her.”

As Lin Qingran spoke, she turned to look at Lin Xiaoruo and said coldly.

"I forgot my bag at your place. Perfect, I can go back with you."

Lin Xiaoruo saw that Lin Qingran was covered in dirt and her hair was soaked, making her look extremely disheveled.

Lin Qingran, who has always been very conscious of her appearance, is probably feeling incredibly frustrated right now.

Lin Xiaoruo didn't show much joy in front of Gu Moxuan; instead, she covered her mouth and looked surprised.

"Sister, what happened to you?"

As she spoke, she took off her coat and handed it to Lin Qingran.

"Sister, you can go out wearing mine first."

Lin Qingran glanced indifferently at Lin Xiaoruo's coat, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, she focused her gaze on Gu Moxuan.

"Lend me your car keys for a moment."

Gu Moxuan's dark eyes stared at her silently.

After a while, he took off his coat and threw it at Lin Qingran, his face cold and stern.

"Wear my coat when you go out, don't embarrass me in public."

The scent of his cologne enveloped Lin Qingran's face.

Hidden beneath her coat, Lin Qingran frowned, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

It's early spring now, and although it's not as cold as it was a while ago, she was dressed lightly today and got wet, so she still felt a bit chilly.

She pulled off Gu Moxuan's coat, straightened it, and then slowly put it on.

Gu Moxuan's coat was exceptionally large on Lin Qingran, large enough to fit two of her slender framed.

When Lin Xiaoru saw Lin Qingran wearing Gu Moxuan's coat, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she could only awkwardly withdraw her hand.

"Then Moxuan, you should hurry to Grandma's ward. I will make sure my sister gets home safely."

Gu Moxuan remained expressionless, not looking at Lin Xiaoruo, but instead took out his phone and made a call to Yan Sui.

Yan Sui, who was on his way, received a call from Gu Moxuan, who asked him to take Lin Qingran home, so he sped up.

As Lin Qingran and Lin Xiaoruo walked out of the hospital, Yan Sui's car arrived at the hospital entrance.

Yan Sui got out of the car and opened the door. He was surprised to see Lin Xiaoruo and Lin Qingran coming out together.

Lin Qingran was not in good condition; she was soaked and wearing Gu Moxuan's coat, looking disheveled.

However, he didn't ask any questions until Lin Qingran got into the car.

After Lin Qingran took her seat, Lin Xiaoru sat down next to her with a faint smile on her face and spoke softly.

"Sister, if we're mistaken, Assistant Yan and I were high school classmates. Do you remember?"

As soon as Lin Qingran got into the car, her gaze went out the window.

Of course she remembered.

However, Lin Xiaoruo's mention of this topic now clearly indicates that she has no good intentions.

"At that time, we didn't know Mo Xuan yet, and Mo Xuan hadn't come back to the Gu family yet."

"Time flies so fast."

Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, she and Gu Moxuan have been married for three years.

Lin Qingran glanced sideways and calmly fixed her gaze on Lin Xiaoruo.

"You probably never imagined that Gu Moxuan would become the head of the Gu family and build the Emperor Group single-handedly, did you?"

When Lin Qingran spoke to her, Lin Xiaoruo's expression changed.

No matter what, Yan Sui is now a favorite of Gu Moxuan.

She was worried that Lin Qingran might deliberately mention Gu Yihuai, and her hands on her lap unconsciously clenched tighter.

Her skirt gradually began to wrinkle.

Lin Qingran glanced calmly at Lin Xiaoruo and said softly.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you want to reminisce with me?"

Lin Xiaoruo gritted her teeth inwardly, and the smile on her face became somewhat stiff.

"Yes, I didn't know Mo Xuan at the time, so it's normal that I didn't know he would become the head of the Gu family."

Lin Qingran glanced at Lin Xiaoruo indifferently, her tone calm.

"It's normal that you don't know him."

Lin Xiaoruo frowned, looked at Lin Qingran, and said awkwardly.

"Could it be that my sister knew Mo Xuan back then? That can't be right. Mo Xuan only came to the Gu family when he was in college."

Lin Qingran glanced at Lin Xiaoruo indifferently, without answering her question again.

At that time, she didn't know Gu Moxuan; she only knew a sunny boy named Chen Jinnan.

Back in school, Lin Qingran always strived to be number one in everything.

She not only wants to be number one in the school, but also number one in Beicheng City.

The first time she saw the name Chen Jinnan was because it appeared above her name in an important exam.

His score was a full ten points higher than hers.

Even Lin Qingran, who couldn't accept even one point, couldn't accept someone being ten points higher than her.

No one knew that when Lin Qingran was eighteen, she ran to a county high school in the Beicheng jurisdiction and met Chen Jinnan, who was not yet Gu Moxuan.

Lin Qingran sat in the back seat, watching the buildings and scenery outside the window rush by, just like when she went to see the boy whose score was ten points higher than hers.

However, her feelings could never return to that initial state of confusion and unease.

The car stopped at Lanting International. Lin Qingran came back to her senses and spoke softly to Yan Sui in the driver's seat.

"Assistant Yan, I hurt my foot. Could you please go upstairs and get my bag, a small black purse?"

Yan Sui nodded, opened the car door, and got out.

Lin Xiaoruo sat down next to Lin Qingran, looked at her for a long time, and then said softly.

"Why don't you just give him to me? That way you won't have to suffer all this pain."

Lin Qingran glanced at Lin Xiaoruo calmly.

"Lin Xiaoruo, Gu Moxuan will not marry you."

"What he wants, you can't give him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoruo clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth, and looked at Lin Qingran defiantly.

"But what you can give, Mo Xuan doesn't want, does he? Can't you see that the person Mo Xuan wants is me?"
