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

Gu Moxuan frowned, his gloomy eyes fixed on the woman lying in front of him.

What did she take him for?

Beast?

Anger suddenly surged within him.

"Do you really think your body is that attractive to me?"

"It didn't exist when it was intact, and it certainly won't exist now."

Lin Qingran remained silent, her expression tinged with worry. Her hands, resting on the bed, gripped the sheets tightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The effects of the anesthetic wore off completely by night, so now she experiences occasional sharp pains in the soles of her feet.

Seeing her body trembling slightly and her face showing a hint of pain, Gu Moxuan frowned and immediately withdrew his hand.

"Does it hurt?"

Lin Qingran was not in the mood to deal with Gu Moxuan, and was also a little willful.

"What do you say?"

He kept asking her if it hurt, and it's unclear whether he was doing it on purpose.

She glanced at the man beside her with a resentful look.

"Gu Moxuan, you're not deliberately trying to torment my mind, are you? I advise you to be a decent human being; I don't have the energy to argue with you right now."

She lay on the bed, looking weak and listless; even her last words sounded feeble.

Gu Moxuan's face darkened. Usually, she was quick-witted and spirited.

His frail appearance was rather unsettling to see.

He tucked the corner of the blanket around her back, then covered her with it without making any other movements, his deep eyes moving away from her.

"I told you to leave long ago, but you insisted on getting involved, and now you're blaming me. You brought it on yourself."

As Gu Moxuan spoke, he stood up from the bed, irritably tugging at the tie around his neck.

The smell of alcohol on him grew stronger, completely different from the faint aroma of alcohol he had before.

Lin Qingran frowned, seeing that the drunken man was about to lie down, so she quickly said something.

"The smell of alcohol on you is almost suffocating me too, go and wash yourself off."

Gu Moxuan's face darkened. He had been planning to wash up, but Lin Qingran's disgusted words made him somewhat unhappy.

Does this woman think he's a slob?

Gu Moxuan walked into the bathroom with a dark face, and soon after, a deafening noise came from inside.

Startled awake, Lin Qingran jerked herself up and pushed open the bathroom door.

"Is everything okay?"

She landed on her injured toes, but this position did not alleviate her pain.

Gu Moxuan stood unharmed in the bathroom, his face grim. A white bath towel marked the end of his perfect V-line.

"Do you want something from me?"

Lin Qingran glanced at the scattered mess and gave a slight smile.

She thought Gu Moxuan had fallen because he was drunk, but it turned out that it was just these things that had fallen.

"It's good that you're alright. I was just worried that you'd have to lie in bed with me, that would be torture for you."

As she spoke, she hopped on one foot toward the bed.

The bathroom was some distance from the bed. In her haste to get down, she walked barefoot on the ground with her unbandaged foot.

Although the heating was on inside, the floor was still a bit cold on the feet.

Just as they were about to reach the bedside, their feet suddenly left the ground as someone lifted them up from behind.

The fresh scent of shower gel wafted from Gu Moxuan's body, causing Lin Qingran to pause for a moment before lying motionless in his arms.

He carried her to bed and placed her on the side where she always slept.

Lin Qingran felt a stinging pain when her back touched the bed, and her delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Upon seeing this, Gu Moxuan immediately softened his movements.

After lying down, Lin Qingran could only turn over and lie on her side.

Gu Moxuan lay down beside her, also on his side, and the two looked at each other face to face for a few seconds.

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with this way of interacting with Gu Moxuan.

She bit her lip lightly, and just as she was about to turn over and lie flat, Gu Moxuan grabbed her arm.

"Don't move."

Lin Qingran was startled when she heard the voice, and then saw that Gu Moxuan had turned his back to her.

She was slightly taken aback, not expecting Gu Moxuan to be so considerate of her feelings.

Just as she was feeling a warmth in her heart, she heard Gu Moxuan say coldly.

"I'm treating you this way not because I've developed feelings for you, but because you were hurt by me, so I'm being polite to you."

Lin Qingran was stunned, then answered in a cold voice.

"Yes, I am very clear about what President Gu thinks of me, and I am well aware of my own feelings."

Gu Moxuan frowned; her answer made him extremely unhappy.

Neither of them spoke first.

Lin Qingran barely slept all night; the stinging pain in her feet made her feel very uncomfortable.

Early the next morning.

When Wang Ma brought breakfast to Lin Qingran, she saw Gu Moxuan on the bed when she opened the door and immediately turned around and left.

Unfortunately, the sound of her opening the door had already woken Gu Moxuan up.

Gu Moxuan glanced at the time and frowned slightly.

He was never a sleepy person, yet he spent the night so peacefully beside Lin Qingran.

It's already 9:30 in the morning, far beyond Gu Moxuan's usual biological clock.

Gu Moxuan glanced at Lin Qingran beside him. She was still sleeping, but not soundly. Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, revealing a hint of pain.

He reached out and gently touched the center of her forehead. The moment his hand touched her skin, the woman, whose eyes had been tightly closed, immediately opened them.

Her eyes looked somewhat lost, then she frowned and closed them.

"I'm going to sleep a little longer."

She murmured something and closed her eyes again.

Gu Moxuan did not answer. He got up, went to the dressing room, found some clothes to change into, and went downstairs.

downstairs.

Wang Ma had already prepared breakfast and placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table. Seeing Gu Moxuan come downstairs, she walked over awkwardly.

"Son-in-law, you're awake. Breakfast is ready."

Gu Moxuan nodded, walked to the dining table and sat down, not forgetting to give a final instruction.

"She wanted to rest a little longer, so we brought her breakfast up in half an hour."

Wang Ma nodded slightly, and seeing that Gu Moxuan finally knew to care about their young lady, a smile appeared on her face.

"Ok."

Will my son-in-law be home for dinner tonight? If he is, I'll prepare extra ingredients.

Seeing that Gu Moxuan had been staying at Sixiang Garden almost all this time, Wang Ma mustered up her courage and asked him.

Gu Moxuan nodded calmly and agreed without even thinking.

"Prepare something light; she can't eat anything too heavy during this period."

Wang Ma nodded quickly.

Lin Qingran is indeed a big fan of spicy food. Her fainting yesterday was related to a stomach ailment, so even if Gu Moxuan didn't give any instructions, Wang Ma knew how to prepare it.

But the mere mention of it by Gu Moxuan carried a different meaning.

During this period, he paid more and more attention to Lin Qingran.
