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

When Gu Moxuan came down, Lin Qingran was standing under the dim yellow light, which made her profile look even more beautiful.

Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned her head.

"I thought you were going to stay up there a little longer."

Her understanding and generosity, however, caused a chill to set in Gu Moxuan's eyes.

"You should know that the trick of playing hard to get won't work on me."

He slowed his pace and walked slowly toward her.

Her shadow fell upon him as he approached, giving her an inexplicable illusion that she was being embraced by him.

"So if Attorney Liu drafts the divorce agreement, then Mr. Gu should sign it."

Her dark yet bright eyes gazed at his deep gaze, a smile playing on her lips.

"Only after she signs can she have a legitimate claim."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted behind Gu Moxuan.

Lin Xiaoruo stood not far away, still wearing her recently changed white nightgown and slippers.

Clearly, after seeing Gu Moxuan come down, she hurriedly followed him down.

Lin Qingran looked at her, her smile devoid of any warmth.

Gu Moxuan's brows suddenly furrowed, and his beautiful phoenix eyes gradually darkened.

"You've angered me this time, so it won't be so easy for your older brother to ask you for a favor next time."

Lin Qingran was stunned, her fingers clenched involuntarily, and her body stiffened.

"Gu Moxuan!"

"Why involve my older brother in our business?"

Looking at her angry little face, Gu Moxuan's cold and stern expression gradually faded.

"To me, your Lin family are just outsiders."

He has no need to help anyone in the Lin family.

Lin Xiaoruo walked over slowly and gently tugged at Gu Moxuan's cufflinks, her eyes full of caution.

"Mo Xuan... how can you say that? Is the Lin family really just an outsider to you?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Moxuan turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoruo, and suddenly reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Don't be nervous, you are different from them."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lin Qingran.

These words seemed to be addressed to Lin Qingran, rather than Lin Xiaoruo.

Lin Xiaoruo was flattered and slightly covered her mouth.

"Mo Xuan, how could you...?"

Lin Qingran suddenly smiled and calmly looked at Lin Xiaoruo, who was behaving in an affected manner.

"Since she is so special to you, I hope Mr. Gu will sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible."

"I don't get special treatment from President Gu, but perhaps in other people's eyes, I am a special person."

After Lin Qingran finished speaking, her gaze shifted to Lin Xiaoruo, a mocking smile flashing in her eyes.

Despite all her scheming, Lin Xiaoruo ultimately won Gu Moxuan's heart.

She had no reason to continue.

"I hope to hear the news of President Gu's signature first thing tomorrow morning."

After Lin Qingran finished speaking, she turned and left. Her slender figure appeared incredibly lonely under the lamplight.

But with her back straight, every movement she made exuded an elegance and nobility that no one could imitate.

In the northern part of the city, it's hard to find another woman more noble and arrogant than Lin Qingran.

Lin Xiaoruo stood beside Gu Moxuan, looking up at the man beside her.

But his gaze remained fixed on the direction Lin Qingran had just left in.

She bit her lip lightly and reached out to take Gu Moxuan's arm.

"Mo Xuan, don't you want to divorce your sister?"

"That's true. Someone as outstanding as my sister is a shining star no matter where she is."

"It's only natural that you're attracted to her."

Lin Xiaoru stared blankly at Gu Moxuan, her eyes gradually becoming lost.

Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched involuntarily, and she muttered something under her breath.

"I'm so envious. If I could, I would also like to have such a noble birth."

Lin Xiaoruo bit her lip, her suppressed emotions clearly visible.

Gu Moxuan withdrew his gaze and glanced at her sideways.

"You only need to be yourself; you don't need to envy anyone else."

His voice was devoid of any warmth, which sent a chill down Lin Xiaoruo's spine.

Although she almost angered him, Lin Xiaoruo knew she had succeeded.

Gu Moxuan's identity as the illegitimate son of the Gu family is the most hidden sense of inferiority in his heart.

How could Lin Qingran, the high and mighty third young lady of the Lin family, possibly understand the inner turmoil and contradictions of a child who grows up being criticized and vilified?

........

The next morning, Lin Qingran was startled awake by the sudden ringing of her cell phone.

She reached for her phone, glanced at the screen, and then answered the call.

"Little sister, did you and Gu Moxuan have a fight?"

Lin Qingran's eyes, which had been somewhat dazed, suddenly brightened.

"what happened?"

“My brother’s rival has been seeing Gu Moxuan a lot lately.”

Lin hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously.

"Qingran, why don't you go and test his attitude?"

Lin Qingran frowned, then heard Lin Ji continue speaking.

"Qingran, if our eldest brother steps down this time, it will affect the entire Lin family. Why don't you... go and try to appease him?"

Lin Qingran's expression suddenly turned cold.

Her marriage with Gu Moxuan had come to an end. If she were to beg him, it would be tantamount to trampling her self-respect under his feet.

"Second brother, I'll think of another way to deal with eldest brother's matter."

“I will absolutely not beg him.”

She still needed to maintain the last shred of dignity in front of Gu Moxuan.
