When Gu Moxuan came downstairs again, he had changed into a more casual outfit.

Lin Qingran remained calmly seated in her wheelchair, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window as she heard someone coming downstairs.

Her long, narrow, beautiful fox-like eyes flickered slightly, and as she turned around, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"You want the car door?"

Gu Moxuan frowned.

She was like an emotionless robot.

No matter how intense their argument gets, once things quiet down, she can act as if nothing happened.

I greeted him in a nonchalant way.

For the past three years, this has been the way she and he have always interacted.

Gu Moxuan gritted his teeth inwardly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

"What's it to you?"

He glanced coldly at the person in the wheelchair.

Lin Qingran pursed her lips slightly, not minding how nasty Gu Moxuan's tone was when he spoke to her.

The feeling of nausea returned once again.

She bit her lip secretly, a hint of panic flashing in her clear eyes.

Why did she have to react in front of Gu Moxuan?

This man has always been very perceptive. If he finds out, I'm afraid this child will be just like he was two years ago.

She clenched her teeth tightly, and when she saw Gu Moxuan staring at her, she covered her stomach and took a deep breath.

When Wang Ma saw that Lin Qingran's face suddenly looked so pale, she immediately went over to ask her what was wrong.

"Miss, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Qingran bit her lip, lowered her head, and gagged.

"It's probably because I didn't eat much breakfast this morning. My stomach is a little uncomfortable, and my tummy is also a bit upset."

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief after she regained control.

"My period might be coming soon."

Wang Ma immediately pondered for a moment, thought about it seriously, and then spoke.

"Miss's period is indeed during this time, but we don't have any spare sanitary napkins at home."

Wang Ma looked annoyed.

"Look at me, I've been so busy lately that I even forgot about something this important."

Lin Qingran was injured and could not be separated from her at any time, so the only person who was available in front of them now was Gu Moxuan.

Gu Moxuan's tall figure stood not far away, his expression unmoved.

His deep eyes swept over Lin Qingran, a hint of disdain in them.

"The 'bitter trick' is something you only need to use once."

Lin Qingran paused, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and she tightened her grip on the armrest of her wheelchair.

Could it be that Gu Moxuan really saw through his act?

It seems she really has no talent in this area.

If it were Lin Xiaoruo, she definitely wouldn't let Gu Moxuan see any flaws at this moment.

She took a deep breath, deciding to go all out, and glanced indifferently at Gu Moxuan, her eyes turning cold.

"In Mr. Gu's eyes, even my period cramps are an act. I don't know who it was that pretended to be scalded by boiling water, causing my grandmother to be sent to the hospital."

Gu Moxuan's expression suddenly changed, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became stiff.

A cool smile played on her lips, and her unmade-up face appeared even more serene.

She stared intently at his angry face, praying that he wouldn't come back for a while after leaving in anger this time.

Gu Moxuan looked at her defiant gaze and clenched his fist tightly.

Just when Lin Qingran thought he would fly into a rage, the man smiled gently.

"Don't try to provoke me, just stay home and recover."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Lin Qingran with a majestic silhouette.

If it weren't for the sharp, cold glint in his eyes just now, Lin Qingran would have almost thought that Gu Moxuan had changed his nature.

He was clearly the one most easily provoked by her, yet he left like this, which was truly puzzling.

Seeing that Gu Moxuan had left and that no argument had broken out between the two, Wang Ma secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Lin Qingran.

"Miss, why do you have to provoke the young master? Isn't a peaceful life good enough?"

Lin Qingran rubbed her temples and spoke softly.

"Aunt Wang, don't you think he's been coming here far too often lately?"

Wang Ma raised her eyebrows slightly.

If Gu Moxuan comes here very frequently, it means that his state of mind is changing.

This is a good thing for Lin Qingran.

"Miss, what are you worried about?"

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, a desolate look flashing in her eyes.

She really hoped she was overthinking it.

Otherwise, the Lin family wouldn't be able to withstand any of Gu Moxuan's torment.

She pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and whispered.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it. Aunt Wang, we haven't gone shopping in a long time. Why don't you take this opportunity to push me out for a walk?"

Mother Wang nodded.

Lin Qingran hasn't gone out shopping for a long time since she got married.

She had almost forgotten when was the last time they went shopping together.

When the two arrived at the mall, Lin Qingran first went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and handed them to the driver so that she could take them back and put them in the car.

The driver dared not object to Lin Qingran's instructions, even though Gu Moxuan told him to stay close to Lin Qingran at all times.

After putting his things in the car, he returned to the mall at top speed, but Wang Ma and Lin Qingran were nowhere to be seen waiting for him.

After searching around, he finally found Lin Qingran and Wang Ma in front of a dessert shop.

Next door to the dessert shop is a pharmacy.

Without giving it much thought, the driver walked over and continued to follow behind Wang Ma and Lin Qingran.

Wang Ma bought three ice creams and handed them to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran gave one to each of them.

The driver looked at the pink ice cream and suddenly hesitated to take a bite.

"lady......"

"Eat up. I'm not Gu Moxuan; I won't be so strict with my subordinates."

Lin Qingran smiled slightly as she spoke, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.

“Wang Ma, right?”

Wang Ma nodded seriously, looking as if she had something on her mind, but she still greeted everyone with a smile.

The driver then sheepishly put the ice cream in his mouth.

A short while later, Gu Moxuan called.

The driver glanced at the caller ID, then cautiously observed the changes in Lin Qingran's expression.

Lin Qingran remained calm, her expression unchanged, a slight smile playing on her lips as she spoke softly.

"Go."

The driver gave an awkward smile and turned to answer Gu Moxuan's call.

Gu Moxuan was getting impatient when the driver took so long to answer the phone. Before the driver could even speak, he said coldly.

"Where are you now?"

He immediately and respectfully reported the name of the shopping mall.

Gu Moxuan had a sullen face. He had just left when Lin Qingran and Wang Ma ran to the mall.

She clearly didn't take his words, "Be a good girl and stay home to recover," to heart!

"I am coming over now."

The driver glanced at Lin Qingran, who was smiling and talking to Wang Ma, and added softly.

"Madam seems to be in a good mood today, she has a smile on her face the whole time."

Gu Moxuan frowned.

In a good mood?

A smile on his face?

Is this woman really happy to argue with him and watch him leave in anger?

His face darkened, and his tone turned cold.

“Keep an eye on her.”

The driver was stunned for a moment, then the call was disconnected, leaving him with a helpless expression.

I don't know what's wrong with this couple; they can't stand seeing each other in a good mood.

He sighed softly, and just as he finished putting his phone away, he saw Lin Qingran looking at him with a sly smile.

He immediately felt a headache.

Being a double agent must be a terrible experience.

"Madam, the master didn't say anything, he just told you to be careful."

Seeing that she hadn't spoken yet, Lin Qingran immediately replied with a calm smile.

"Would he really be so kind as to care about me?"

The driver gave an awkward smile.

Lin Qingran didn't press further, and her expression, compared to her usual coldness, showed more warmth.

Since you've said that, I'll just assume it's true.
