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

He looked up and saw Lin Qingran's gaze fall on him; her expression was indifferent yet tinged with pity.

He immediately frowned, his eyes filled with coldness.

He never needed anyone's pity, let alone Lin Qingran's!

Seeing the man's aggressive expression, Lin Qingran pursed her lips, looked away, then got up from the sofa and said softly.

"Grandma, I need to go to the restroom."

Grandma Gu nodded, and then continued talking to Gu Yihuai.

Throughout the entire process, Gu Moxuan did not interrupt or even make any move to do so.

That's just his personality; he never tries to win anyone over. Unlike Gu Yihuai, who was cynical and caused a lot of trouble, he didn't always have someone to help him out in the Gu family.

This world is inherently about human relationships and social dynamics.

Gu Moxuan seemed to know nothing about this.

However, given his current achievements, it seems he doesn't need to be too proficient in these things.

She went to the bathroom, and suddenly her stomach churned. She bent over and dry-heaved on the sink.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, and Lin Qingran unconsciously frowned.

After the feeling subsided, she turned on the tap to rinse her hands and patted her cheeks.

When she looked up again, she saw Gu Moxuan's figure in the mirror by the sink.

Gu Moxuan had somehow appeared behind her and stood there quietly.

Those deep eyes held a look of inquiry.

He looked at her with a puzzled expression.

A flicker of panic crossed Lin Qingran's eyes. She took a step back and met Gu Moxuan's gaze in the mirror.

Within seconds, she quickly calmed down and spoke in a calm tone.

"When did you stand behind me? You startled me."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on the sink, unconsciously tightening her grip.

She didn't know when Gu Moxuan stood behind her, nor did she know if he suspected anything.

The man's dark eyes were fixed on her pale face, slowly moving downwards.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, straightened her back, and let his gaze sweep over her lower abdomen. She showed no panic and remained unusually calm.

His deep eyes revealed no emotion.

But Lin Qingran knew that he must have some doubts, which was why he continued reading.

She pursed her lips and pulled out a tissue from the side to wipe the water stains on the back of her hand.

"Is there a problem?"

Gu Moxuan stared intently at Lin Qingran, whose expression had returned to its usual coldness, lacking the smile she had shown when facing Old Madam Gu earlier.

He frowned, withdrew his gaze from her, and said coldly.

"Grandma has always wanted to have a great-grandson. Since that's the case, we'll just have to work harder."

"Perhaps I can use the child to please my grandmother, and maybe she will hand over the shares to me ahead of time."

Lin Qingran's thin lips curled slightly, and a mocking smile flashed in his eyes.

She raised her head slightly, her gaze falling on Gu Moxuan, her eyes full of mockery.

"It's one thing for me to become your tool for acquiring shares, but it's another for my children to become your tools. Isn't that too unfair to my children?"

"Besides, just like Grandma said, I lost a child because of you two years ago."

"Now you want to use my child as a tool, do you think I would give birth to your child?"

Gu Moxuan frowned, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

He walked towards her step by step, his imposing manner quickly pinning her against the small space of the sink.

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, still looking at Gu Moxuan in the mirror.

His body was pressed against her back, and even through the fabric of her clothes, Lin Qingran could still feel his burning body temperature.

She bit her lip lightly, her stomach already pressed against the sink.

But she dares not do anything now.

Gu Moxuan is a sensitive and meticulous man. If she makes any move at this moment, it will probably arouse his suspicion.

She feigned composure as she watched the man lower his head slightly, his cool lips brushing against the back of her ear, creating an alluring sensation.

"The child from two years ago wasn't mine at all, so why should I keep him?"

Lin Qingran frowned, her hands unconsciously clenching, a hint of humiliation flashing in her eyes.

"If it's not yours, then whose is it? Gu Yihuai?"

Lin Qingran chuckled softly, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

When Gu Moxuan heard her mention Gu Yihuai's name, his expression changed drastically. Seeing the smile on her lips, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

He clenched his teeth tightly, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"why are you laughing?"

Lin Qingran continued to smile, her smile captivating.

“Nothing happened between Gu Yihuai and me that night. He lied to you on purpose. Gu Moxuan, you really fell for it! I wasn’t with Gu Yihuai at all that night.”

“And you did kill your own child. I told you, you will definitely regret it. That was our first child, and it will be our last.”

She spoke calmly, when suddenly a wave of nausea washed over her, and she bent over to gag.

Gu Moxuan was struck dumb, stunned on the spot.

This was the first time in two years that Lin Qingran had directly addressed the issues from back then with him.

That child really is his!

Lin Qingran has never bothered to lie about such matters.

She understood his personality; if she really wanted to hurt him badly, she could simply admit that the child was Gu Yihuai's.

He frowned deeply as he looked at the small woman who was vomiting on the sink.

She seemed to be in great pain. Looking at her flat back, Gu Moxuan reached out his hand as if possessed.

At the same time, Wang Ma saw Lin Qingran walking towards the restroom, and Gu Moxuan followed. He immediately went to find some pills and brought them to Lin Qingran.

Seeing Lin Qingran vomiting in front of the sink, while Gu Moxuan watched with an inscrutable expression.

Wang Ma immediately went over and said with a look of self-reproach and concern.

"Miss, I've brought you your stomach medicine. Are you feeling better?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Moxuan glanced at the water glass and medicine in Wang Ma's hand.

Lin Qingran took the water glass, drank a sip, and then took a pill from the medicine bottle and swallowed it.

Seeing this, Gu Moxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. When Lin Qingran handed the medicine bottle to Wang Ma, he reached out and took the bottle to check the instructions on it.

Aunt Wang pursed her lips, and when she saw Lin Qingran's gaze fall on her, she gave Lin Qingran a reassuring look.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Gu Moxuan glanced indifferently at Lin Qingran, then handed the medicine bottle to Wang Ma and said coldly.

"If you're not feeling well, stay at Sixiangyuan to recuperate. Why do you have to come out and embarrass me, hoping to gain Grandma's sympathy and make her blame me for not taking good care of you?"

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone indifferent.

“I know what I’m doing. Acting in front of my grandmother won’t do me any good. Even if I wanted to suppress Lin Xiaoruo, I wouldn’t need to resort to such low-level tactics.”
