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

He seemed to have discovered something amusing, and the smile in his eyes was uncontrollable.

He had learned about Gu Moxuan when he came to the capital before.

I've heard that Gu Moxuan is a mature, steady, and very shrewd man.

However, when he met Lin Qingran, his persona seemed to falter.

Shi Shenzhi watched Gu Moxuan's car leave, then returned to his own car.

Yan Sui opened the car door for him as he walked over.

Shi Shenzhi then sat down inside.

Yan Sui opened the passenger door and got in at that moment.

Lin Qingran opened her eyes when Shi Shenzhi came in.

Her gaze fell on Shi Shenzhi, and although there was a hint of malice in her eyes, her expression remained very calm.

Shi Shenzhi raised an eyebrow when he saw Lin Qingran's calm demeanor.

He became even more certain that the woman's unsteady gait and slight intoxication earlier were an act.

"Miss Lin's acting skills are really good. You've fooled me."

Shi Shenzhi's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of smiles.

Lin Qingran looked at the smile on Shi Shenzhi's face and said calmly.

"You used me before, and now I'm using you, so we're even."

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Shi Shenzhi frowned slightly, and the smile on his face vanished completely. He looked at Lin Qingran seriously and said in a deep voice.

"Are you mistaking me for someone else?"

Upon hearing Shi Shenzhi's words, Lin Qingran did not speak; she merely glanced at him with a lingering gaze.

Her cool eyes were exceptionally bright, and when she stared intently at him, Shi Shenzhi really felt as if he wasn't himself, but rather the person in Lin Qingran's eyes.

Lin Qingran looked at Shi Shenzhi with deep eyes. Seeing that Shi Shenzhi did not speak, she whispered.

“Mr. Shi, there’s no one else in the car now, so you don’t need to pretend with me. I’ve said it before, I don’t hate you.”

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Shi Shenzhi realized that Lin Qingran had mistaken him for the eldest son of the Huo family they were talking about, and his expression became somewhat displeased.

Although he was very unhappy, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and said calmly.

“Miss Lin, I don’t know what the person who looks exactly like me did to you, but I am not that person, so I don’t want Miss Lin to mistake me for that person.”

"I hope that I am a unique presence in Miss Lin's heart."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran looked intently at Shi Shenzhi.

Shi Shenzhi's words are very sincere, but their temperaments are really too similar.

Lin Qingran looked intently at Shi Shenzhi, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, before speaking in a low voice.

“Everyone in this world is unique, but you are not, Mr. Shi.”

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, before speaking softly.

"If you are Huo Ye, you can admit it now, because I have something I need your help with."

Shi Shenzhi looked at Lin Qingran with a deep frown.

Lin Qingran seemed to have something he wanted to say that he found hard to swallow, but he was definitely not Huo Ye.

He looked at Lin Qingran and said calmly.

“Ms. Lin, I’m sorry, I’m really not the person you’re talking about. But if there’s anything I can help you with, I certainly can.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran rubbed her temples and then fell silent.

She glanced at Shi Shenzhi, then looked away, gazing out the window without uttering a word.

Huo Ye has a very large organization around him.

Although his domestic organization was completely disrupted, his influence abroad was still enormous.

If she could get Huo Ye to help her find Lin Jinjin, she would agree to whatever Huo Ye asked.

However, Huo Ye disappeared without a trace after leaving Beicheng.

Even the Huo family couldn't get any news about Huo Ye.

When Liang Jiaowei passed away, Lin Qingran and Lin Hao both attended her funeral, but all the members of the Huo family were present except for Huo Ye.

Lin Qingran really wanted to see Huo Ye at the time.

However, Huo Ye never appeared.

If they could use Huo Ye's power to find Lin Jinjin, they might have more opportunities.

Shi Shenzhi watched Lin Qingran's retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly.

His eyes held a hint of heaviness as he looked at Lin Qingran with a puzzled expression.

The woman sitting next to him was staring out the window, not saying a word. Although he couldn't see her expression, Shi Shenzhi felt that she was so fragile that she could break at the slightest touch.

His heart ached involuntarily.

He looked intently at Lin Qingran, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless.

This was the first time Huo Ye had ever felt so flustered in front of a woman.

He looked at Lin Qingran and said in a low voice.

“Miss Lin, although I am not that person, I can still help you.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran gently shook her head and said in a low voice.

"Five years have passed, and perhaps no one can help me now. I've been stuck in a vicious cycle all along."

After Lin Qingran finished speaking, she leaned her head back in her seat, her gaze fixed on the green belt that flashed by outside the window. Her eyes were misty, and a few tears welled up in her eyes.

Arrive at the hotel.

Yan Sui got out of the car first and opened the door for them.

Shi Shenzhi was the first to get off the bus, and after he got off, he waited for Lin Qingran in the same spot.

Lin Qingran got out of the car and saw Shi Shenzhi reaching out to her, wanting to help her, but Lin Qingran did not put her hand on Shi Shenzhi's hand.

When she came down, her steps were slightly unsteady.

Yan Sui quickly followed behind Lin Qingran.

Seeing this, Shi Shenzhi also went over and, just as Lin Qingran was about to fall, quickly grabbed Lin Qingran's arm.

Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.

Shi Shenzhi looked down at his phone. The contact name was "Fairy Baby." Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Shenzhi answered the call immediately.

On the other end of the phone was a little girl's voice, speaking fluent English, asking when Shi Shenzhi would be back.

Shi Shenzhi carefully considered his travel plans and then told the other party in English that he had one more week.

I complained to the little girl on the other end of the phone, and then told Shi Shenzhi that she wanted to get a Garfield cat, but the housekeeper said she needed his permission first.

When Shi Shenzhi is talking to children, his tone is very gentle.

Lin Qingran stood next to Shi Shenzhi and could clearly hear the girl's voice on the other end of the phone.

She looked up at the man beside her, and seeing his gentle and tender expression, she felt heavy-hearted and complicated.

The other party must be his child.
