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

Ms. Chen looked at Gu Moxuan, gave an awkward smile, and immediately distanced herself from the situation.

She had come over a few times after learning that Lin Jinjin lived here, but Gu Moxuan was always wary of her and wouldn't let her get close to Lin Jinjin.

Therefore, Ms. Chen did not dare to find any other excuse to come here during this period.

After all, Gu Moxuan is now showing Lin Jinjin extraordinary care.

In front of his daughter, she, as a mother, was nothing at all.

Gu Moxuan's expression was cold and stern, and he glanced at Ms. Chen with a sharp gaze.

Ms. Chen became increasingly nervous.

She glanced at Lin Qingran, her eyes filled with pleading.

Lin Qingran was about to go upstairs when she saw Gu Moxuan leading Lin Jinjin in, and immediately stopped in her tracks.

Upon seeing Lin Qingran, Lin Jinjin immediately jogged towards her.

"Mommy."

She waited until very late last night but Lin Qingran didn't show up. Now that she saw Lin Qingran, she was naturally very excited.

Lin Jinjin's voice was crisp and sweet, and Lin Qingran's previously melancholy mood brightened up because of Lin Jinjin.

She looked at Lin Jinjin, squatted down slightly, and pulled Lin Jinjin, who was running over, into her arms.

"Did you behave well at kindergarten today?"

Lin Jinjin nodded obediently upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, her expression very serious.

"Jinjin has always been very well-behaved at school, and the teacher even praised me today."

Upon seeing this, Lin Qingran's lips curved slightly, and her eyes softened.

"Our Jinjin is such a good girl."

Lin Qingran spoke with a gentle gaze.

Gu Moxuan stood quietly to the side, watching the interaction between Lin Qingran and Lin Jinjin.

Lin Qingran was about to pick up Lin Jinjin, but as soon as she raised her hand, she felt dizzy.

Luckily she was squatting, otherwise she probably would have fallen straight to the ground.

She fell to the ground.

Lin Jinjin and Gu Moxuan's expressions changed upon seeing this.

Gu Moxuan strode forward, his handsome features filled with seriousness and sternness.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

As Gu Moxuan spoke, he picked up Lin Qingran and carried her upstairs.

Seeing this, Ms. Chen took a deep breath, remembering how Grandma Gu had slapped Lin Qingran just now.

Lin Qingran already had a head injury, and seeing her like this now, Gu Moxuan would probably pursue the matter later.

Ms. Chen watched as Gu Moxuan carried Lin Qingran upstairs, and was about to turn around and drive away.

However, Gu Moxuan walked to the top of the stairs, turned around, glanced at her coldly, and said sternly.

"Wait for me downstairs."

Upon hearing Gu Moxuan's words, Ms. Chen's face immediately paled. She wanted to defend herself, but Gu Moxuan had already carried Lin Qingran upstairs and disappeared around the corner.

Lin Jinjin followed Gu Moxuan upstairs with her short legs.

For a moment, she was the only one left in the huge living room.

Ms. Chen took a deep breath and waited downstairs with some trepidation.

Lin Qingran was carried by Gu Moxuan to the bedroom upstairs and lay down.

Aunt Wang led Lin Jinjin into the bedroom.

As soon as Lin Jinjin entered the bedroom, she immediately ran to Lin Qingran with a worried expression on her face.

Only then did she notice the gauze on Lin Qingran's forehead. Her little face was scrunched up, looking as serious as an adult.

"Why is Mommy injured again?"

Lin Jinjin used the word "again," and both Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran paused for a moment.

This appears to be the second time she has been injured since returning to Beicheng.

A hint of guilt flashed in Lin Qingran's eyes as she saw Lin Jinjin's worried face, her little face all scrunched up, as if she could burst into tears at any moment.

She then forced a smile, reached out and took Lin Jinjin's small hand, and said softly.

"Then Mommy promises Xiaojinjin that she will protect herself from now on, okay?"

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

After nodding, she turned her gaze to Gu Moxuan and said earnestly.

"If Mommy can't protect herself, then Daddy will protect you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when she heard Lin Jinjin continue.

"Daddy is Mommy's husband, and a husband is someone who protects his wife and children."

"Is it right?"

Lin Qingran glanced at Gu Moxuan and raised an eyebrow. "Did you teach her this?"

Gu Moxuan reached out and gently rubbed Lin Jinjin's head, speaking softly.

"I only said it once, I didn't expect her to remember it."

"It seems our little darling is quite the little genius."

Lin Qingran smiled slightly as she watched the interaction between Gu Moxuan and Lin Jinjin.

Seeing how much Gu Moxuan likes Lin Jinjin now, she suddenly felt a little guilty, because Lin Jinjin had lacked fatherly love in the past three years.

This also caused Gu Moxuan to lose three of his most precious memories as a father.

Before she turned two, Lin Jinjin would have been treated like a rare treasure by Gu Moxuan, who would have held her in his hands with utmost care.

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, looked at Gu Moxuan, and said softly.

"Let your mother have dinner here tonight."

Gu Moxuan was stunned when he heard this, seemingly unable to believe that Lin Qingran had suddenly made such a decision.

Lin Qingran noticed a hint of hesitation flashing in his deep eyes, as if he had some worries, before speaking softly.

"No matter how wrong she was before, after you were born, during the time she spent by your side, she must have taken care of you with a soft heart."

"Now that I'm a mother myself, I understand this feeling very well."

Regardless of how wrong Ms. Chen's decision to abandon Gu Moxuan was.

But before that, Ms. Chen still fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

Lin Qingran herself hadn't reached Ms. Chen's level, so she didn't know if Ms. Chen had struggled internally when she let Gu Moxuan return to the Gu family.

But at this moment, in front of Gu Moxuan, she was just a humble mother.

Seeing how understanding Lin Qingran was, Gu Moxuan reached out and gently stroked her hair, speaking softly.

"Since you're willing, then let her stay here for dinner."

Lin Qingran's lips curled slightly as she looked at Lin Jinjin, her eyes full of smiles.

"Jinjin's fourth birthday is coming soon, and I'd like to hold a birthday party at Sixiangyuan."

She pursed her red lips slightly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes, and then spoke softly.

"I hope that on that day, the security personnel at Sixiangyuan can be increased, and the waiters will all be well-trained people."

Gu Moxuan paused for a moment upon hearing Lin Qingran's words.

Lin Qingran only said a few simple words, but he immediately understood what Lin Qingran meant.
