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

In the end, she did not accept the olive branch he extended.

Although he now treats her by the name they used when they were in school.

Lin Qingran is so smart, how could she not understand the meaning behind his words?

Even after all these years, she remains the same, knowing how to avoid suspicion.

It seems that she avoids anything related to Lin Xiaoruo and will not associate with her in any way.

Gu Moxuan was an exception.

Yan Sui suddenly felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't chosen to approach Lin Xiaoruo when he wanted to get to know Lin Qingran, perhaps Lin Qingran's attitude towards him wouldn't be so cold today.

"I see."

Yan Sui lowered his head, his expression respectful and polite.

Lin Qingran nodded slowly, watching him walk out of Sixiang Garden. Throughout the entire process, her expression remained exceptionally calm and composed.

After Yan Sui drove away, everything around him became quiet.

Sixiangyuan is still a bit far from the city center. The cold winter has passed, and occasionally you can hear the chirping of insects and birds.

"Miss, let me apply the medicine for you."

After locking Gu Moxuan inside, Wang Ma noticed that blood seemed to be seeping through the gauze on Lin Qingran's foot, and panicked for a moment.

The injury that had finally healed has been ruined again today because of Gu Moxuan.

Wang Ma, who had always hoped that Gu Moxuan would pay more attention to Lin Qingran, now secretly hoped that Gu Moxuan would never come to Sixiang Garden again.

Every time Lin Qingran gets hurt, it seems to be because she's with Gu Moxuan.

They're like incompatible people, always causing trouble whenever they meet.

Wang Ma gently unwrapped the gauze from her feet. Because of the blood that had seeped out, the dried parts of the gauze had stuck to the tender flesh of her feet.

When the gauze was removed, Lin Qingran endured the excruciating pain, and her eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Wang Ma felt very sorry for her and said softly.

"From a young age, Miss was the most afraid of pain, but also the most tolerant."

"On the contrary, Lin Xiaoruo has always prided herself on being strong, but when she encounters even the slightest injury, she cries out louder than anyone else."

"Miss, you just don't get it in these aspects. Men always prefer gentle and weak women. You are too tolerant, to the point that your husband ignores your feelings."

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, not expecting that Wang Ma would have such insight into this matter.

"So, according to Wang Ma's suggestion, should I change my personality for Gu Moxuan's sake? Be more gentle?"

She felt a pain in the sole of her foot, and to distract herself, she could only chat with Wang Ma.

Wang Ma paused for a moment after being asked by Lin Qingran, and then said softly.

"Miss will always find someone who will cherish you. Our young lady is the best and doesn't need to change anything for anyone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran chuckled softly, a faint smile unconsciously curving her lips.

Ultimately, it was because Gu Moxuan didn't love her that he treated her so badly.

If you truly love her, how could you bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance?

She pursed her lips slightly. During the conversation, Wang Ma had already changed the gauze back on her. The excruciating pain she had just felt had subsided.

Looking at the night outside the window, she suddenly felt wide awake.

"Miss, you should get some rest."

Lin Qingran nodded, her thin lips slightly pursed. Wang Ma glanced at her, then walked out of the bedroom and closed the door for her.

After a while, she took out her drawing board from the drawer and began working on the comic she hadn't finished before.

I've been so busy lately that the work that was supposed to be updated every Monday has been delayed for two weeks.

That night, the comic "Poison," which had been ranked number one on the popularity charts, was updated late at night.

The latest episode also topped the trending search list because of its explosive content and mind-bending plot twists.

Tens of thousands of comic fans have started urging for more updates and checking in daily.

Lin Qingran put down her paintbrush, looked at the uncolored draft, and frowned. She had originally planned to update another chapter, but now the sky outside the window was already turning white.

She then put away the easel and placed it in a storage drawer.

I wonder when I'll pick up my easel again.

Things have been quite complicated lately, and because Gu Moxuan keeps coming to Sixiang Garden, she hasn't been able to focus on making the product.

While Gu Moxuan was still asleep, Lin Qingran logged into her secondary social media account and discovered that her editor had sent her countless messages urging her to finish her manuscript.

When she signed the contract with the platform, she didn't expect "Poison" to become such a popular work, so she told them that her update time was uncertain.

Lin Qingran spent more than ten minutes reading through the 99+ messages sent by the editor. The last message was...

"Starry Sky Entertainment wants to sign the film and television version of 'Poison' and they've asked the company to contact you. Ranran, since we're all in Beicheng, if you're free, let's schedule a time to talk."

She frowned as she looked at the message.

I haven't logged into my alternate account for a while now, and I had no idea that "Starry Sky Entertainment" had their eyes on this project.

Gu Moxuan has a sharp eye.

In "Poison", there is indeed a character who is very similar to Lin Xiaoruo and is very suitable for Lin Xiaoruo to play.

She frowned, and before she could reply to the message, she heard a loud noise outside, along with Gu Moxuan's violent voice.

"Lin Qingran!! Open the door for me!"

Gu Moxuan's biological clock has always been very accurate. When he woke up early in the morning and found himself in an unfamiliar environment, he first had a headache.

Then he remembered that he had instructed Yan Sui to take him back to Sixiang Garden the night before.

After glancing around, he realized that this was a guest room in Sixiangyuan.

His face immediately darkened, turning as black as charcoal.

When he got up and opened the door, what enraged him even more was that this damned woman had locked him in the guest room.

His anger was instantly ignited to its peak.

Wang Ma got up early and forgot about it. She immediately ran upstairs and opened the door with her key.

Lin Qingran pushed the wheelchair to the door of Gu Moxuan's bedroom. She saw that the man had a dark face and was barefoot. She raised her eyebrows slightly.

She hadn't slept all night and wasn't in a good mental state. She glanced at Gu Moxuan indifferently, then said softly.

“You got drunk and acted crazy last night. We were worried you might do something drastic, so we put you in a guest room.”

She spoke calmly, a hint of coolness in her eyes.

I forgot to unlock the door for you this morning, sorry.

Although she was apologizing, her tone was too flat, and there was no trace of remorse in her voice.

Gu Moxuan's dark eyes narrowed as he looked down at the woman in the wheelchair, his entire being radiating coldness.
