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

Gu Moxuan looked coldly at the calm woman in front of him.

She spoke her warnings in a gentle and refined manner, yet they were incredibly intimidating.

He knew that Lin Qingran was definitely not just saying it casually.

If she really wanted to take action against Lin Xiaoruo, given her strategies and methods, Lin Xiaoruo would have almost no chance of retaliating.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep gaze carrying a hint of shrewdness.

"If you dare to touch her, Lin Qingran, I'll make you regret it."

Lin Qingran frowned.

After uttering these harsh words, the man turned and left.

Lin Qingran's eyes darkened, and her heart almost jolted violently.

She pursed her lips silently and sat quietly in her wheelchair.

Before long, Wang Ma came out of the kitchen carrying peeled fruit.

There is a distance between the kitchen and the living room. Because Lin Qingran doesn't like the smell of cooking fumes, the kitchen was deliberately designed to be a bit far away when Sixiangyuan was designed.

When Wang Ma brought over the fruit, she paused for a moment and then said softly when she saw that Lin Qingran was the only one left in the living room.

"Is the person gone?"

Lin Qingran nodded calmly, glancing at the fruit on the table.

When Wang Ma saw that she didn't reach out to touch the fruit, she explained softly.

“I didn’t use the fruit she brought; I threw it away. This is what I bought this morning.”

As she spoke, she noticed that Lin Qingran did not say anything. She glanced at the time and was then startled.

"Oh no, it's lunchtime already, and the kitchen hasn't prepared lunch yet."

It was a rare occasion for Gu Moxuan to have lunch at Sixiangyuan today, and Wang Ma didn't want anything to go wrong.

Just as she was about to return to the kitchen, she heard Lin Qingran speak calmly.

"No need to prepare anything, I don't really want to eat."

She had just eaten breakfast and wasn't hungry at all. In addition, Gu Moxuan and Lin Xiaoruo had affected her appetite, so she had no appetite at all now.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma paused for a moment, then spoke softly.

“Even if you’re not hungry, your husband needs to eat. I’ve told the kitchen to prepare a small amount, so you should eat something, Miss, and don’t upset him.”

As she spoke, Wang Ma lightly slapped her own mouth, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, knowing that Wang Ma was doing it for her own good, hoping that her relationship with Gu Moxuan would also stabilize.

However, it seems that she and Gu Moxuan had accumulated too much resentment in their past lives, so they are irreconcilable enemies in this life.

Under Wang Ma's expectant gaze, Lin Qingran spoke softly.

“I’ve already angered him and he’s left. He won’t be coming back for lunch.”

Wang Ma was stunned.

The people who were just working upstairs have just left.

She was speechless for a moment.

Seeing the change in her expression, Lin Qingran smiled faintly and then said softly.

"Could you cook me some soup and vegetables yourself? I'll only eat a little bit."

Wang Ma could only nod and walk towards the kitchen, letting out a small sigh where Lin Qingran couldn't hear her.

She prepared the soup and dishes and brought them to the table. She saw Lin Qingran sitting alone at the table, looking helpless.

Back when she lived in the Lin family, Lin Qingran never felt lonely, and she never ate alone.

But over the past three years, she seems to have gotten used to it all.

Whenever Wang Ma saw such a scene, she couldn't help but recall the lively atmosphere before Lin Qingran got married.

Mr. Lin doted on his daughter, whom he had late in life, and adopted Lin Xiaoruo, who was the same age as him, so that she wouldn't feel lonely.

Little did they know that Lin Qingran's loneliness over the past three years was also due to Lin Xiaoruo.

If Master Lin had known that adopting Lin Xiaoruo would turn out like this, he probably wouldn't have even considered it in the first place.

Wang Ma served Lin Qingran a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her. Just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

As she walked out of the restaurant, she saw Gu Moxuan walking in from outside.

"Uncle."

When Wang Ma saw Gu Moxuan, a smile inevitably appeared on her face.

Gu Moxuan had a cold expression and smelled of cigarettes. He changed into slippers and glanced at Wang Ma indifferently.

Is lunch ready?

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma was taken aback for a moment, but her reaction was extremely quick.

"The kitchen is already preparing it. Miss wanted some soup, so we've prepared some soup dishes for her first. Please wait a moment while I go to the kitchen to urge them on."

Hearing Wang Ma's enthusiastic voice, Lin Qingran paused for a moment while holding the soup spoon. When she heard the man's footsteps entering the restaurant, she did not look up, but quietly finished the soup in her bowl and then put down the spoon.

"I have already eaten."

She said it casually, then pushed the wheels and walked towards the door.

"stop!"

Gu Moxuan's face was cold and stern.

He finally managed to get here for lunch, and all she did was avoid him.

Just how much did she not want to eat at the same table with him?

Gu Moxuan sat down with a stern face, looked coldly at Lin Qingran, and said sternly.

“I didn’t give you permission to go up, so you’ll have to stay here.”

Lin Qingran frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

She was naturally not the type to be threatened by Gu Moxuan, and she looked up at him coldly.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

As her voice faded, her phone rang.

Seeing the words "Second Brother" flashing on the screen, her heart sank immediately. She looked up at the man sitting opposite her.

Gu Moxuan glanced at her, took her bowl, ladled out a bowl of soup, and drank it slowly.

She bit her lip secretly as she answered the phone.

"Second brother."

"Qingran, there's been a problem with a shipment we sent to Nanshi. Goods from other companies were sent to Haoting's branch office. Our people went to pick them up but couldn't get them out. They've detained the goods and asked us to resend them."

Lin Qingran frowned and spoke softly.

"Then send another batch."

Lin Ji said hurriedly.

"But the other company urgently needs this batch of goods. Haoting's goods are not in such a hurry. We haven't even shipped them out yet. After they arrived in Nanshi, they were mistakenly transferred by the branch office."

Lin Qingran took a deep breath.

The Lin family has been living off the luxury of the mansion for years.

After her father's health deteriorated, her second brother took over the Lin family business.

Unfortunately, her second brother was not good at running a company, which led to the gradual decline of the Lin family and their increasing dependence on the Haoting.

The management of the branch offices was also not effectively managed.

Once the goods arrive, they will definitely try to curry favor with Haoting first.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath and replied indifferently.

"I see."

She finished speaking softly, hung up the phone, gripped it tightly, and looked up at the man in front of her.

"You already knew?"

After finishing his soup, Gu Moxuan put down his spoon, pulled out a tissue from the side, and wiped the soup stains from the corner of his lips, his eyes calm.

"This soup tastes good; Wang Ma's cooking skills have improved again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran gritted her teeth inwardly.

His expression was relaxed, but Lin Qingran found it extremely offensive.

He gave an irrelevant answer, deliberately trying to make her beg him.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath and moved her wheelchair back to the dining table.

Wang Ma returned from the kitchen and led the servants to serve the dishes.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Qingran remained silent.

Gu Moxuan glanced at her empty bowl, then picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl.

"eat."

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, picked up her chopsticks, and stared at him intently. She said in a deep voice.

"After you've eaten, will you have the branch office release Lin's goods?"

Gu Moxuan glanced at her, his tone remaining relatively calm.

"It's just a meal, and you're trying to negotiate with me?"

He picked up the glass of red wine on the table, swirled it slightly, and spoke in a calm tone.

"How many times have you spoken to me in such a humble tone because of the Lin family?"
