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

Gu Moxuan stared at Huo Wanqing with a gloomy expression. His deep black eyes emitted a cold light, and his handsome face was filled with anger.

Lin Xiaoruo was deeply moved when she saw that Gu Moxuan had chosen to protect her at this moment.

Gu Moxuan's domineering words just now showed how much he cared about her.

She doesn't need to worry about so much.

Vera will be kicked out of his life one day.

Neither Lin Qingran nor Huo Wanqing, who is now standing arrogantly in front of her, are qualified to stay by Gu Moxuan's side.

Only she can be by his side, no one else.

Lin Xiaoruo tugged at Gu Moxuan's arm, her face showing a humble and submissive demeanor.

“Mo Xuan, don’t be angry. Actually, Miss Huo is right. I really have no right or qualification to question you about your relationship with Vera.”

"It's enough for me to know that you have me in your heart; nothing else matters."

She bit her lip lightly, glanced at Huo Wanqing, and quickly looked away, barely daring to meet Huo Wanqing's gaze.

Huo Wanqing is a crazy woman who is capable of anything. She doesn't know or understand what this woman will do next.

Gu Moxuan looked at the girl beside him; her face was a little pale, and she looked very sensible.

She tried so hard not to be a burden to him, how could Gu Moxuan not see that?

But his feelings for her were not as strong as he had imagined.

Lin Xiaoruo looked up at the handsome and extraordinary man beside her.

She longed for a response from him, but his eyes were cold and indifferent, showing no joy for her whatsoever.

Vera stood to the side, feeling extremely awkward.

As she was about to leave with her head down, Lin Qingran's soft voice came from upstairs.

"Where are you going, Miss Vera? I've already prepared dinner. If you leave, won't it be less lively?"

Vera bit her lip, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes, and turned away sheepishly.

Lin Qingran stood on the round platform upstairs, a gentle smile on her lips, her back ramrod straight, her slender fingers resting on the handrail, looking at them with an air of pride.

Her current demeanor makes one feel a sense of being far beyond one's reach.

High above.

A smile played on her lips as she glanced indifferently at Lin Xiaoruo and spoke softly.

"What? Miss Vera was so comfortable in front of me just now. Are you going to leave just because she's here?"

"Don't forget, this is my territory. If you come and go as you please, wouldn't I, as the hostess, have no authority at all?"

Her voice was calm and even, yet it gave people a strange sense of oppression.

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and her grip on Gu Moxuan's arm tightened suddenly.

Lin Qingran smiled, a glint of sharpness flashing in her cool eyes. Seeing Gu Moxuan's deep eyes staring intently at her downstairs, she didn't care at all and met his gaze head-on.

“Mr. Gu, it seems a bit inappropriate to bring her back and then let her go home alone. However, you have too many women around you, so it's understandable that you can't take good care of them. As your wife, you should have this much sense. After dinner, I'll have the driver take her home.”

Gu Moxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze filled with indignation and warning.

Lin Qingran has become increasingly audacious lately, provoking him time and time again.

He stared coldly at the person upstairs, removed Lin Xiaoruo's hand from his arm, and strode upstairs.

But as he walked over, Lin Xiaoruo hugged him tightly from behind.

"Mo Xuan, I'm not feeling well. Please take me back."

Gu Moxuan frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

Lin Qingran looked down at them, and after a moment of stalemate, she spoke in a low voice.

“He rarely comes back, so how could he bear to leave and send you back? Lin Xiaoruo, I’ve said it before, in the three years you’ve been gone, Gu Moxuan is no longer the Gu Moxuan you know.”

Lin Xiaoruo paused, then tightened her grip on Gu Moxuan's arms even more.

"No matter what he becomes, Mo Xuan is still the Mo Xuan I know, the Mo Xuan who first entered the Gu family. In your eyes, you may only see Mo Xuan's money and power, but in my eyes, Mo Xuan is completely different."

"No matter how he changes, he will never change in my heart."

Lin Qingran gripped the handrail tightly, her face still bearing that composed expression, but she couldn't help feeling distressed inside.

Lin Xiaoruo is indeed better at pleasing Gu Moxuan than she is.

If she continues down this path, she'll likely rise to power soon.

She should be happy, but for some reason, it felt like her heart was surrounded by countless needle marks, and a sharp pain spread throughout her body.

Gu Moxuan stood frozen in place.

Lin Qingran remained standing upstairs in the same posture as before, out of reach and unattainable.

He could clearly feel how excited the person behind him was; their body was trembling slightly.

Lin Xiaoruo stood by his side the whole time, defending him.

But someone who claims to like him always just watches coldly from the sidelines, and even becomes a sharp blade that hurts him.

It was so in the past and it is so now.

Gu Moxuan finally understood the biggest difference between Lin Qingran and Lin Xiaoruo.

Lin Qingran only talks the talk; he never walks the walk!

This woman repeatedly challenged his bottom line, attempting to provoke him.

Gu Moxuan quickly calmed down, glanced at Lin Qingran, and then chuckled softly, his laughter full of mockery.

"You're right. I'm not the same person I was three years ago. I can't let you manipulate me. So you'd better behave and sit in the seat you want. Don't ask for anything else."

Lin Qingran frowned, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Gu Moxuan made such a firm choice not to divorce.

She loosened her grip on the handrail.

"I have never asked for anything else, and Mr. Gu knows that."

She spoke calmly, glancing down at the time, and said casually.

"It's almost lunchtime, and Miss Vera has already run off. In that case, I won't be entertaining you today. Please make yourselves at home."

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran, Vera worried that she would become a scapegoat and cannon fodder again, so she quietly left when no one else was paying attention to her.

Unexpectedly, all her actions were observed by Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran simply didn't deliberately make things difficult for her.

Lin Xiaoruo's eyes are not for being intolerant of any imperfections, so even without Lin Qingran doing anything, Lin Xiaoruo will not allow Vera to continue staying by Gu Moxuan's side.

Or perhaps stay in a circle that Gu Moxuan can see.
