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

Huo Wanqing remained seated in her previous spot, and when she saw Vera come downstairs, a playful expression appeared on her face.

It seems that meeting Gu Moxuan at Sixiang Garden today was the right decision.

Little did she know that her half-sister's life was so full of fun.

Huo Wanqing knew from a young age that her mother had always paid special attention to things in Beicheng.

Moreover, photos of Lin Qingran from childhood to adulthood can be found among some of her mother's treasured items.

Despite being far away in City A, her mother still knew everything about the third young lady of the Lin family.

She knew her mother's personality; she wouldn't pay so much attention to someone who wasn't related to her.

So over the years, Huo Wanqing has also been secretly learning about Lin Qingran.

They also uncovered some issues.

She knew that Lin Qingran was her half-sister, but she didn't know if Lin Qingran knew the same.

Seeing how lively it was here, Huo Wanqing was reluctant to leave.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her long, thick eyelashes perfectly concealing the emotions in them.

Lin Xiaoruo had just calmed down after Gu Moxuan, and when she saw Vera coming downstairs wearing Lin Qingran's clothes, she looked somewhat shocked.

She bit her lip tightly, looking at Vera with a puzzled expression.

"Vera, what are you doing here?"

Vera paused for a moment, not immediately answering Lin Xiaoruo's question, her expression slightly embarrassed.

She turned her gaze to Gu Moxuan, looking hesitant, as if she didn't know how to answer Lin Xiaoruo's question.

"Mr. Gu..."

Gu Moxuan's face was grim, and his sharp, hawk-like eyes looked at Vera with a warning tone, his voice cold.

"You go back first."

Vera nodded, a slight smile curving her lips, and greeted Lin Xiaoruo with composure.

"Xiao Ruo, I'm going back now. You two can continue your conversation."

Huo Wanqing raised an eyebrow. She had thought that when this glamorous woman met the woman in Gu Moxuan's arms, something unexpected would happen.

Unexpectedly, the person who was jumping around in front of Lin Qingran just now is now as docile as a lamb.

"Beautiful lady, why are you leaving so early? Miss Lin wants us to stay for dinner."

Gu Moxuan frowned and gave Huo Wanqing, who looked like she wanted to cause trouble, a cold look in his eyes.

Vera gave an awkward smile and said softly.

"No, I have another appointment tonight, so I'll be going now."

Huo Wanqing fiddled with the teacup on the coffee table, looking thoughtful.

"Dating? You mean you have other men besides President Gu? That's unacceptable. President Gu likes you so much, he even went so far as to take you in his car, how could you date other men?"

She smiled as if she had mentioned it unintentionally, but her gaze was fixed on Lin Xiaoruo.

Lin Xiaoruo paused for a moment.

Only then did he notice Huo Wanqing sitting on the sofa.

She often saw Huo Wanqing in magazines, but this was the first time she had met her in person.

Looking at Huo Wanqing's cunning gaze, filled with mockery, she felt an unusual familiarity.

In particular, her fearless demeanor was somewhat similar to Lin Qingran's.

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath and stared intently at Vera.

She had sensed that Vera had feelings for Gu Moxuan before, but she didn't expect that something would actually happen between Vera and Gu Moxuan in such a short time.

Her face immediately turned pale, and she stared at Vera in disbelief.

"Is everything she said true? You all...?"

She has been back in Beicheng from abroad for some time now, but nothing substantial has ever happened between her and Gu Moxuan.

Even when Gu Moxuan was completely drunk, he never made any overly intimate moves with her.

However......

Vera got what she wanted so easily.

Anyone could easily obtain it, but she had to rack her brains to get what she wanted.

Why can others do it, but she can't?

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath, her breathing becoming shallow and her chest heaving. The tears she had just held back welled up in her eyes once more.

This time, she didn't blame Gu Moxuan, but instead turned her anger towards Vera.

"Vera, why are you doing this to me? I considered you my first good friend after returning home, and I gave you all the best resources. Why are you doing this to me?"

"You know perfectly well that Mo Xuan is an inseparable part of my life. I consider you a friend, so why did you betray me?"

Vera looked extremely embarrassed, as if her affair had been exposed.

She bit her lip lightly, looked at Lin Xiaoruo, and said softly.

"Xiao Ruo, let me explain. It's not what you think. Mr. Gu and I..."

She hesitated, biting her lip tightly.

Lin Xiaoruo looked at her, her eyes filled with mockery.

"If there's any misunderstanding here, then explain it."

Vera was about to speak when she saw Gu Moxuan staring at her with a sharp gaze that carried a hint of warning.

The words she was about to say stopped abruptly, and she dared not continue.

With a smile on her face, Huo Wanqing looked between Lin Xiaoruo and Vera and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It seems Mr. Gu isn't managing his harem very well. Is this a battle between the mistress and the fourth mistress?"

She slowly stood up from the sofa, her gaze fixed on Lin Xiaoruo, still holding the tea that Lin Qingran had just poured for her.

She hadn't drunk any tea until now, and now she held the teacup in her hand and slowly walked towards Lin Xiaoruo.

"I'm curious, on what grounds are you questioning your brother-in-law about his relationship with this woman? Is she his sister? Or his lover?"

Lin Xiaoruo's face immediately paled, her eyes showing a hint of panic and guilt at having her thoughts read through by her teasing gaze.

She clenched her teeth, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"you......"

Huo Wanqing walked to Gu Moxuan's side, took his arm, smiled, and looked at Lin Xiaoruo with a provocative gaze.

"Mr. Gu, shall we continue what we were doing earlier?"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Moxuan's eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.

Huo Wanqing didn't mind the murderous chill emanating from his eyes at all.

She raised her teacup and said casually.

"This is the tea that Miss Lin just served me. She said that if I want to become Mr. Gu's concubine, I need to know the rules. I think Miss Lin should drink this cup of tea first."

She held the teacup and handed it to Lin Qingran. Lin Qingran's face darkened, and her brows furrowed almost immediately.

"I don't understand what Miss Huo is talking about."

Huo Wanqing smiled and looked at Lin Xiaoruo, speaking softly.

"Is that so? As expected, an adopted daughter is just an adopted daughter. She doesn't understand the rules. Even after I explained the rules to you, you still didn't understand."

Gu Moxuan's face immediately darkened upon hearing Huo Wanqing's words, turning as dark as if ink could drip from it.

His expression was cold and stern. He grabbed Huo Wanqing's wrist, his eyes sharp and menacing.

"Miss Huo, it's not your place to teach my people the rules."

Huo Wanqing was taken aback. Seeing that Gu Moxuan's overwhelming anger was entirely due to her words that had belittled Lin Xiaoruo, she raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So, the person Mr. Gu likes is this adopted daughter of the Lin family. No wonder someone's attitude towards you is so cold and arrogant. I understand now."

"Interesting, indeed very interesting."

There was no trace of embarrassment at being burned by Gu Moxuan's anger in her eyes; instead, her smile widened, and she looked quite interested.
