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

When Lin Qingran woke up again, it was already ten o'clock.

When Wang Ma brought breakfast upstairs, she was surprised to see her sleeping so peacefully, so she chose not to wake her.

Because she slept for so long and remained in one position the whole time, she felt uncomfortable all over.

She slowly got up and was about to get out of bed when she saw someone walk in from outside the balcony.

Gu Moxuan's figure was tall, and a large area of ​​his shadow appeared in the room.

Lin Qingran pursed her thin lips and sat quietly on the edge of the bed. It was hard to imagine that Gu Moxuan, who was so busy with work, hadn't gone to the company today and had been here all the time.

She rarely saw Gu Moxuan in Sixiang Garden during the day, so she was a little unaccustomed to it at first.

"You didn't go to the company?"

Gu Moxuan merely glanced at her indifferently, and before he could speak, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Ma's voice rang out respectfully and politely.

"Son-in-law, Assistant Yan has brought your official documents. Should we have him bring them to the bedroom or put them in the study?"

Gu Moxuan spoke indifferently.

"Let him put it in the study."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to adjust his cufflinks, glanced at the woman who was about to get out of bed, and casually pushed the wheelchair in front of her.

"In a wheelchair."

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, nodded, and supported herself as she moved from the bed to the wheelchair.

Throughout the entire process, the man beside her didn't offer a helping hand; he just stood by and watched coldly.

Lin Qingran didn't expect him to lend a hand.

Last night, this man made it clear that his kindness towards her now was entirely because she took that whip for him.

His stance remains very clear: he will not like her, much less fall in love with her.

So, her heart, which was usually easily moved by him, was unusually calmed down, without much disappointment or expectation.

After she got into the wheelchair, she saw that the man was still looking down at her, a faint smile on his lips, his eyes not changing much.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Moxuan saw that her attitude had returned to its usual composed state, and the slight smile on her lips was as fake as could be.

His eyes darkened, he straightened his tie, and strode out of the bedroom.

Upon hearing that Lin Qingran had woken up, Wang Ma immediately brought in a freshly warmed breakfast.

"Miss, you're finally awake! You've slept for so long, your stomach must be empty. I've prepared breakfast for you."

With a joyful expression, Wang Ma placed the breakfast on the table and put it down, her lips curving into a wide smile.

Lin Qingran rarely saw Wang Ma so happy, so she couldn't help but ask her a question.

"Did something good happen at Wang Ma's house today? Why are you so happy?"

Wang Ma glanced in the direction of the door, and only after confirming that Gu Moxuan was not there did she answer with a happy smile.

“I think your son-in-law is really paying more and more attention to you lately. In the past, when you were sick, he wouldn’t even glance at you, but this morning, he took the initiative to ask when he would apply your medicine. He cares about you.”

After she and Lin Qingran arrived at Sixiang Garden, this was the first time Gu Moxuan had inquired about Lin Qingran's health in such detail.

Lin Qingran pursed her lips slightly, not feeling that Gu Moxuan was genuinely concerned about her.

This is probably what guilt feels like.

She would do the same if she felt indebted to someone.

Lin Qingran simply smiled calmly, without showing any excessive excitement.

For the past three years, Wang Ma has always hoped that she and Gu Moxuan could cultivate their relationship properly.

He even subtly suggested to her more than once that she should soften her stance in front of Gu Moxuan and that there was no need to continue this stalemate with him.

But given her personality, how could she allow herself to bow down in front of Gu Moxuan?

If she truly compromised with all the unfair treatment Gu Moxuan had given her, then Gu Moxuan would probably only escalate the situation further and even bring Lin Xiaoruo to Sixiang Garden.

For the past three years, Wang Ma had been reporting her relationship status with Gu Moxuan to the Lin family, and she was aware of it.

"Really? Then maybe he really has changed."

Lin Qingran's lips curled up slightly, but her smile carried a hint of bitterness.

Seeing Lin Qingran smiling, Wang Ma then placed the breakfast in her hands and said gently.

“Miss, you have suffered too much in the past three years. It’s rare for your son-in-law to change. You must strike while the iron is hot.”

Lin Qingran nodded slightly.

Seeing that she was quiet and silent, Wang Ma stopped talking and left her alone.

The room fell silent again.

However, this quiet lasted for less than half an hour.

Lin Xiaoruo has come to Sixiang Garden.

After Lin Qingran finished breakfast, she saw a familiar car drive up to the entrance of Sixiangyuan and be stopped by the security guard.

She got out of the car and, while on the phone, looked up and saw Lin Qingran sitting on the balcony.

Their eyes met in the air, one cold and aloof, the other feigning innocence.

When Wang Ma came in to clear the dishes, she saw Lin Qingran sitting on the balcony and immediately grabbed her coat and went outside.

"Miss, it's a bit windy here, please take care of yourself."

As she spoke, she draped her coat over Lin Qingran's shoulders, and when she looked up, she saw Lin Xiaoruo standing at the door.

Her gaze instinctively fell on Lin Qingran, and then she murmured.

“I’ll go down and chase her away right away.”

As Wang Ma turned to leave, Lin Qingran grabbed her hand.

Inside the courtyard, Yan Sui had already gone downstairs. After hearing Yan Sui say something, the security guard quickly opened the gate and let Lin Xiaoruo in.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Qingran's eyes did not change much.

Wang Ma, on the other hand, looked angry.

Lin Qingran and Gu Moxuan's relationship had finally eased up a bit, and then Lin Xiaoruo came to stir things up. What kind of nonsense is this!

"This woman is utterly shameless, Miss... how could you... have tolerated her until now!"

Lin Qingran rubbed her temples and said softly.

"The wind is too strong outside, and my forehead hurts a bit. Please push me inside."

Seeing this, Wang Ma nodded and pushed Lin Qingran into the house. As soon as the two entered the house, they saw Gu Moxuan standing at the bedroom door.

Lin Qingran remained expressionless, while Gu Moxuan spoke coldly without any emotion.

"Xiao Ruo is here. Please come downstairs to greet her."

Wang Ma spoke first.

“Young master, Miss just caught a chill and isn’t feeling well. I’ll go and greet her.”

Gu Moxuan frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his deep eyes.

Lin Qingran completely captured the changes in his facial expression and calmly inquired.

"What about you?"

Gu Moxuan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I have a video conference that hasn't ended yet."

Lin Qingran nodded and spoke calmly and gently.

"Alright, I'll go and greet them for you."

As she spoke, she looked up at Wang Ma and gestured for Wang Ma to push her out.

Because of her injury, the elevator, which had not been used since the beginning of the renovation, was restarted.

Lin Qingran initially thought that installing an elevator in a three-story villa was too extravagant, but now it has come in handy.

This was the first time Lin Xiaoruo had visited Sixiang Garden in three years.

Seeing the luxurious decoration style of Sixiangyuan, which is like a small palace, I felt endless envy.

Especially when Lin Qingran, dressed in a white dress, was pushed out of the elevator by Wang Ma, Lin Xiaoruo's jealousy reached a new level.

Yesterday, when she was in excruciating pain, she could only endure it alone in that cramped room, while Lin Qingran was surrounded by servants.

The gap between people shouldn't be this large.
