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

Lin Qingran drove back to Sixiang Garden. As soon as he drove to the entrance of Sixiang Garden, he saw Lin Xiaoruo standing at the gate.

She was rather frail, and squatting at the entrance of Sixiang Garden, Lin Qingran almost didn't recognize her.

When the security personnel saw Lin Qingran return, they opened the gate and welcomed her inside.

She parked the car at the entrance, and Lin Xiaoruo slowly stood up and walked towards her.

Lin Qingran glanced at the security personnel and said calmly.

"what happened?"

The security personnel looked embarrassed and answered Lin Qingran awkwardly.

"We have already informed Miss Lin that her fiancé has not come here, but she still insists on waiting here."

"Wang Ma said that since Miss hasn't returned, no one is allowed to enter, so..."

Lin Qingran nodded slightly, her expression calm, and said in a low voice.

"I see."

Her gaze shifted to Lin Xiaoruo, then she glanced gently at the inside of her car and said in a low voice.

"You saw it yourself, Gu Moxuan isn't in my car. If you need something, why don't you call him instead of waiting here?"

"He didn't see it, so wouldn't all your hard work have been wasted?"

Lin Xiaoruo glanced into Lin Qingran's car. She had just seen a car returning from afar, and judging from the model, it seemed to be Gu Moxuan's car.

When she could see the car clearly, she realized it was indeed Gu Moxuan's car, which is why she put on this act, squatting at the entrance of Sixiang Garden, pretending to be waiting for him anxiously.

Where is Mo Xuan?

She glanced around the car with a puzzled look; the weak and helpless demeanor she had just displayed had completely vanished.

Lin Qingran opened the driver's side door, got out of the car, handed the keys to the security personnel, and said softly.

"You drive the car in first, I'll talk to her."

The security personnel dared not object to Lin Qingran's words and immediately drove the car into the garage and stopped.

Lin Qingran walked slowly to Lin Xiaoruo, her gaze calm and serene.

"Sixiang Garden is the only place that has not been infiltrated by Gu Moxuan's power. It is really difficult for you to put on a sob story here."

Lin Xiaoruo clenched her lips, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment. She glanced around and said softly.

"I heard you went to 'Nightmare' with Mo Xuan. What, are you feeling threatened now and planning to control Mo Xuan?"

"I never expected you to do something like this. It's quite surprising."

Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly, took a few steps forward, walked around Lin Xiaoruo, and stood behind her, speaking naturally.

“He took me to ‘Night Charm’ voluntarily. I was having a gathering at the Gu family’s house today, but then Nie Jingchen called to say he had a date, so I went there anyway.”

"Gu Moxuan hasn't taken you to 'Night Charm' since you returned to China, has he?"

Lin Xiaoruo's hands, hanging by her sides, clenched slightly, then relaxed.

She took a deep breath, turned around and stared at Lin Qingran, gritting her teeth.

"Mo Xuan didn't take me to 'Night Charm' because he wanted to protect me and prevent me from getting involved with those dark things."

Lin Qingran paused for a moment, then quickly chuckled softly.

"Protect you? You must be so innocent and adorable. After going to 'Night Charm,' I've gained a basic understanding of Gu Moxuan's circle."

"He is far more shrewd and cunning than you think, so Lin Xiaoruo, your little tricks are no match for him. So while he still has some feelings for you, think about how to turn the tide."

She glanced at Lin Xiaoruo as she spoke and said in a low voice.

"Don't waste your time with me. I'm not trying to stop you from being with him, so I won't stop you."

Lin Xiaoruo frowned, and before she could react, she saw Lin Qingran walk into the Sixiang Garden.

She stared blankly at Lin Qingran's retreating figure.

This is not like Lin Qingran's style.

She has a competitive personality and used to always strive to be the best at everything she did.

And she absolutely hates it when people covet her things.

But now she's willingly handing Gu Moxuan over to someone else, which is really hard to believe.

She gritted her teeth inwardly, her hostility towards Lin Qingran undiminished.

As soon as Lin Qingran entered the living room, she saw Wang Ma come out of the room.

"Miss, why are you so late getting home? Your health can't keep up with this."

After leaving the Gu family, Wang Ma went straight back to Sixiang Garden. She thought that Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran had already returned, but she didn't expect to see Lin Qingran return alone until this time.

"No matter how busy you are with work, you must take care of your health."

Seeing Wang Ma's concerned expression, Lin Qingran's lips curled up slightly, and her heart warmed. She said softly.

"Wang Ma, I understand. I won't do it again next time. I'm a little tired too. I'll go upstairs to wash up and rest."

Aunt Wang sighed, looked at Lin Qingran speechlessly, walked to her side, and took the coat from her hands.

As soon as I held it in my hand, I smelled a strong odor of smoke and alcohol.

Her hands froze, she frowned, and her expression turned serious.

"Miss, where have you been? You smell strongly of smoke and alcohol on you. What are you doing now...?"

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, having forgotten about that.

Wang Ma has been very concerned about her health lately, paying attention to every little detail.

She bit her lip lightly and said softly.

"I was suddenly pulled away by Gu Moxuan to attend a social event. In order to avoid him noticing anything, I stayed with him for a while."

She noticed the seriousness and worry in Wang Ma's eyes, bit her tongue lightly, and a hint of playfulness appeared in her usually cool eyes.

Seeing that Lin Qingran seemed to be in a good mood, Wang Ma looked at her helplessly.

Seeing that Lin Qingran was in a good mood, Wang Ma didn't want to spoil her fun, so she whispered something.

"Miss, you must not do this again. Let me go upstairs and get you some water."

She picked up Lin Qingran's coat and placed it some distance away from Lin Qingran before quickly going upstairs to run water for Lin Qingran to wash up.

Lin Qingran enjoyed the feeling of being cared for. During the three years she spent at Sixiangyuan, Wang Ma accompanied her through the most difficult period.

Under Wang Ma's care, Lin Qingran slept soundly that night.

The following morning, at Maple Forest Villa.

Gu Moxuan woke up, opened his eyes, and his brows, sharp as swords, were tightly furrowed.

He drank quite a bit of alcohol last night, which made him very dizzy.

With no one around, a tremendous sense of loss washed over him, making his eyes grow even colder and more arrogant.

He clearly remembered that Lin Qingran came back with him last night!

He frowned, got out of bed, and walked barefoot out of the bedroom.

Mo Qing had a servant waiting at the door with a hangover soup in hand. When she saw Gu Moxuan wake up, she immediately went over.

"Mr. Gu, this is a hangover soup I made for you."

This was Lin Qingran's instruction when she left last night, but she told her not to tell Gu Moxuan that she had been here, so Mo Qing did not mention Lin Qingran's name.

Gu Moxuan frowned, glanced at the soup in the bowl, and his expression darkened.

"Who brought me home last night?"
