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

Lin Qingran took a deep breath and looked up at the man beside her. The rich aroma of alcohol emanating from him made her head spin.

"Do you know who I am?"

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly.

She was still not good at swallowing her anger and letting this man treat her as a substitute for someone else.

Gu Moxuan looked down at Lin Qingran, his deep eyes revealing no emotion.

He reached out and ruffled Lin Qingran's hair, speaking in a low, hoarse voice.

"You really think I'm drunk?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and nuzzled Lin Qingran's head, his expression seemingly showing a hint of joy.

"Honey, you smell so good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran's heart skipped a beat.

This man!

It's unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional.

She bit her lip lightly and looked at him with confusion.

This was the first time in three years of marriage that he had addressed her by that name.

She felt that the man wasn't drunk, but she was the one who was truly drunk.

The air inside the car was no longer enough for Lin Qingran to breathe.

She slowly reached out and pushed away the man who was holding her tightly, then stuck her feet out of the car, intending to get out.

But the next second, the man reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back to his side without much effort.

"Grandma is right, you do seem to have gained a little weight recently."

Lin Qingran's mind, which had been somewhat hazy, immediately cleared up.

She has indeed gained some weight, because the food Wang Ma has been feeding her lately has been aimed at supplementing her nutrition.

It wasn't for her, but for the baby in her womb.

Now that Gu Moxuan mentioned it, Lin Qingran immediately became wary.

She's learned her lesson before, so this time she definitely won't fall for it.

"Yes, I've been taking care of my health lately, so I've gained some weight. I'll lose it in a while."

She spoke softly, not resisting Gu Moxuan's support around her waist. He was almost entirely on top of her, and the smell of alcohol emanated from him.

When Elsa came out, she saw Gu Moxuan's car parked in front of "Night Charm". The car was in the back seat, and Lin Qingran was being held in Gu Moxuan's arms.

He was talking to Lin Qingran with his head down.

Lin Qingran's expression was unusually clear, as if Gu Moxuan's deep affection had nothing to do with her at this moment.

"Do you need help?"

Elsa mustered her courage and walked over, her face showing no trace of the embarrassment she had felt when Gu Moxuan pushed her earlier.

She wore a gentle smile, her face radiating kindness and tranquility.

Lin Qingran looked at her, her eyes not changing much, and said in a calm voice.

"Thank you, no need."

Elsa pursed her lips, looked quietly at Lin Qingran, and said softly.

“I see that Mr. Gu has had quite a bit to drink. I’m afraid you can’t handle it alone. How about I drive you home? I have a driver’s license.”

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on Elsa, her tone calm and elegant.

"You didn't drink any alcohol just now?"

Elsa shook her head and said softly.

"I'm not a good drinker, and Mr. Gu has never let me drink, so after I joined 'Night Charm,' I've mostly been helping to pour drinks and rarely drink myself."

Lin Qingran glanced at Gu Moxuan, who was leaning against her.

His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked like he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Let her drive."

Before Lin Qingran could speak, Gu Moxuan's voice drifted over.

Lin Qingran frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, and nodded.

Elsa then opened the driver's side door and got in.

It seemed that this wasn't her first time driving Gu Moxuan's car; she was very familiar with some of the settings.

She saw Lin Qingran's slightly puzzled look in the rearview mirror, and then said softly.

“I was the one who took President Gu home when he got drunk before.”

She seemed to be explaining Lin Qingran's doubts, but her words actually carried a hint of boasting.

This seems to be implying that Lin Qingran's relationship with Gu Moxuan is not ordinary.

"Is Mr. Gu going to Maple Leaf Villa tonight, or...?"

Lin Qingran didn't take her little scheme to heart, calmly withdrew her gaze, and answered softly, "Maple Leaf Manor."

Elsa nodded and started the car.

The car was driving on the road, and the man beside me was unusually quiet.

Elsa focused on driving, occasionally glancing at Lin Qingran's expression in the rearview mirror, but she gained nothing.

Before working at "Nightmare", she had also worked part-time at other bars.

I have met many successful people.

I've also encountered cases where wives of legal wives came to bars to arrest people.

But I've never seen a noblewoman like Lin Qingran, with such a cold gaze and an indifferent attitude from beginning to end.

Even if there were no feelings between them, for the sake of profit, they would never allow Gu Moxuan to have other women around him.

Lin Qingran, however, was different. She seemed uninterested in anything, neither Gu Moxuan nor his assets.

Elsa bit her lip, she had many questions to ask.

But she was also wary that Gu Moxuan was still there.

After all, judging from Gu Moxuan's behavior tonight, he is not completely indifferent to his wife.

She's not Eileen, and she wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

Lin Qingran sat in the back seat and noticed that Elsa would occasionally look towards the back seat. She spoke calmly and quietly.

"Just say whatever you want to ask."

She remained seated in one position the entire time, with a serene expression on her face.

The man leaning on her shoulder remained motionless, sleeping soundly.

Elsa pursed her red lips and spoke in a calm and natural tone.

"I just feel that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu's relationship is not as bad as the rumors suggest. So I don't quite understand why Mr. Gu goes to 'Night Charm' every week."

She wasn't really curious, but she felt she should say something to spoil the good atmosphere between Lin Qingran and Gu Moxuan.

Lin Qingran glanced calmly at the man who was fast asleep with his eyes closed.

The usual shrewdness was gone from his brows; his quiet demeanor reminded one of Chen Jinnan.

She looked at him quietly, without answering Elsa's question.

Elsa looked at the rearview mirror with a puzzled expression, only to see Lin Qingran staring calmly at the man beside her.

Her gaze remained cool and elegant, and she exuded an aura of purity and innocence.

Elsa believed that she was at least second in terms of looks among the Nightbringers, if not first.

But when he stood in front of Lin Qingran, he inexplicably felt inferior.

Her looks and demeanor are utterly insignificant compared to hers.

Her features were aloof and cold, and her beauty was striking, the kind of beauty that was quite aggressive.

She's the type of woman that men like and women envy.

Seeing Lin Qingran slowly look up at the rearview mirror, Elsa immediately looked away. Maple Leaf Manor was right in front of her. Elsa parked the car in front of Maple Leaf Manor and cautiously glanced at the back seat.

Lin Qingran opened the car door and was about to get out when her arm was tightly held by the man.

This was the first time she had seen Gu Moxuan like this.

Even though he had brought Gu Moxuan back a few times before, his willpower was terrifyingly strong. He kept a stern face the whole time, making people dare not overstep their bounds or get close.
