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

She bit her lip lightly, looked at the man beside her, and her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

You hurt me just now.

As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly.

Huo Wanqing watched Lin Qingran with a look of amusement; Gu Moxuan's other women had all come knocking on his door.

She couldn't believe that Lin Qingran could still be so patient.

But the calm woman in front of her still surprised her.

Her cool eyes showed no sign of anger or resentment at being provoked. Instead, her thin lips curved slightly as she calmly uttered a sentence.

“Miss Vera, you have to be understanding. He has never known how to be gentle with women.”

Huo Wanqing's expression changed, and she looked at Lin Qingran with some surprise, not expecting her to be so open-minded.

This guy was practically shitting on her head, but she didn't budge an inch.

If anyone dared to come up to her and provoke her like this, she would kill them even if it meant hurting herself 800 times over.

Vera felt Gu Moxuan tighten his grip on her waist even more.

Lin Qingran seemed to be deliberately provoking Gu Moxuan by bringing up topics he didn't like.

Vera felt somewhat aggrieved.

She and Gu Moxuan had nothing; for the sake of resources, she cooperated with Gu Moxuan to put on an act in front of Lin Qingran.

If the rumors about her and Gu Moxuan are true, then she has nothing to say.

But her current situation is the most awkward one.

Having offended Lin Xiaoruo, he's now getting nowhere from Lin Qingran either.

Vera had a headache.

I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed and agreed to Gu Moxuan's request back then.

However, if she didn't agree to his request, even though she had already signed with "Starry Sky Entertainment," it would still be difficult for her to see Gu Moxuan.

She also had her own agenda.

She shifted her body slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in Gu Moxuan's deep eyes.

He glanced down at the woman clinging tightly to him, then gradually loosened his grip.

"Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? Go upstairs and take a shower first."

His deep, dark eyes were icy cold, and Vera dared not voice any objection, biting her lip lightly.

“Okay, but Mr. Gu, I don’t have any change of clothes.”

Vera spoke, carefully observing the changes in his expression.

He brought her here to provoke Lin Qingran.

She could only do her best.

"Mr. Kobayashi, you wouldn't mind lending me one of your clothes, would you?"

As Vera spoke, she was completely unaware of the cold glint that flashed in the man's sharp eyes beside her.

When Wang Ma brought out the fruit for Lin Qingran, she happened to overhear Vera's words.

Although she didn't know who Vera was, when she saw Vera and Gu Moxuan pressed so close together, with half of her body practically hanging on Gu Moxuan, her expression immediately turned cold and stern.

"Son-in-law, aren't you going too far by doing this?"

Wang Ma had always taken good care of Lin Qingran, so naturally she didn't want to see Lin Qingran suffer any injustice.

Lin Qingran has her own plans in mind, so this little bit of grievance is still within her tolerance range.

She glanced at Wang Ma, whose face was full of indignation, and spoke in a refined tone.

"Wang Ma, Miss Vera was one of my clients before. She'd like to use a guest room, so could you go and find her some clean clothes?"

Wang Ma pursed her lips, noticing Lin Qingran's calm expression and exceptionally composed gaze.

She then took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell noticeably.

Gu Moxuan actually brought these shady characters from outside to Sixiang Garden; it's simply outrageous.

But her young mistress swallowed her anger.

"follow me."

Wang Ma glanced at Vera with displeasure, then strode upstairs.

Vera's expression changed when she saw that the servants around Lin Qingran were so arrogant, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

She had just taken a shower when she left home that morning, so she didn't actually need to, but she dared not disobey Gu Moxuan's orders.

Moreover, Vera also wanted to make Lin Qingran misunderstand her relationship with Gu Moxuan.

Regardless, it's just that my current situation is a bit frustrating.

In fact, even just having a rumored relationship with Gu Moxuan or being associated with him in any way would have given her access to excellent resources.

Vera followed behind Wang Ma upstairs.

She stopped as she passed by Lin Qingran, a sweet smile on her face.

"Thank you, Mr. Kobayashi."

Lin Qingran simply lowered her eyes, did not answer her question, calmly picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

Vera frowned slightly; this feeling of being ignored was extremely unpleasant.

Only then did she notice the woman sitting opposite Lin Qingran.

A fleeting glance made her quickly recall where she had seen this familiar-looking woman before.

The eldest daughter of the fourth branch of the Huo family is a very popular celebrity in the entertainment industry.

I heard that Lin Qingran helped her resolve the rumors that had circulated about her before.

Vera felt uneasy and glanced at Huo Wanqing as she went upstairs.

Huo Wanqing looked at her with a half-smile, and Vera had no choice but to quickly look away.

"Mr. Gu has excellent taste. This young beauty, although she lacks a bit of charm, is still quite attractive. For Mr. Gu to be so impressed on the way here, she must have some other outstanding qualities."

Huo Wanqing didn't finish her sentence, covering her lips and chuckling softly.

As she spoke, her gaze swept lightly over Lin Qingran.

She maintained the same posture as before, holding a teacup in her hand, looking completely composed.

Her hair was tucked behind her ears, making her face, which was free of makeup, appear even more delicate.

Her perfect features are as if they were made by a master craftsman, without any flaws.

Her skin is in such good condition that it's the envy of many.

Gu Moxuan chuckled softly, his smile somewhat wicked, and walked over to sit down beside Lin Qingran, his anger subsiding.

"Miss Huo invited me to Sixiang Garden just to sow discord between me and her? I told you long ago that there's no need to be so cautious. Even if we go to a hotel now, she won't mind."

His deep eyes lingered on Lin Qingran.

She seemed to have gained some weight after a few days apart; it seemed his quality of life had improved since he hadn't seen her for a while.

A hint of disgust flashed in Gu Moxuan's eyes.

Huo Wanqing raised an eyebrow. Judging from Lin Qingran's attitude towards Gu Moxuan, their marriage seemed to exist in name only.

She smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Lin Qingran, and spoke slowly.

"Going to a hotel might get us photographed by paparazzi, so why don't we just stay here?"

"Miss Lin is so generous, she probably won't mind what we do here, right?"

Her smile was somewhat alluring, and she looked at Gu Moxuan with a provocative expression.

Lin Qingran remained unmoved, poured herself some tea, and then spoke calmly.

"I can do you a favor, but I'm the kind of person who likes to exploit other people's weaknesses."

"Miss Huo is so open-minded, she probably won't mind if my surveillance video captures anything."

Huo Wanqing's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Huo Shenting's expression also changed, his deep eyes staring at Lin Qingran as if he were about to devour her whole.

Lin Qingran's lips curled up slightly, and her usually cool eyes suddenly brightened like stars and the moon.

His long, narrow, and handsome eyebrows were slightly curved, and he looked as cunning as a sly fox.

"Please, gentlemen."
