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

His face was gloomy, and his mood was so bad so early in the morning that Mo Qing and the others couldn't help but feel a little wary. They immediately stood up straight, lowered their heads, and dared not look Gu Moxuan in the eye.

"The lady who drove you home last night is the one who drove over here."

"Elsa?"

Gu Moxuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. There was no trace of Lin Qingran in the room.

This is Maple Forest Manor. Without his instructions, Mo Qing would not allow any other strange women to enter.

He was very drunk last night, and the fragments in his mind were incomplete; he couldn't recall many details.

Elsa was sensible enough not to do anything else during this time.

"I see, you go down."

Gu Moxuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Mo Qing brought over the hangover soup that the maid had prepared and handed it to him.

He frowned, reached for the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

Mo Qing put the bowl away and was about to go downstairs when her walkie-talkie rang.

"Butler Mo, Miss Lin has arrived and wishes to see you, sir. Shall we allow her to enter or should she return first?"

Miss Lin?

Mo Qing looked up at Gu Moxuan upon hearing the sound, only to see that the man's eyes, which had just been filled with anger, were now filled with deep emotion.

Mo Qing then asked softly.

"Is it Miss Lin?"

"Miss Lin Xiaoruo."

The other party answered quickly.

The relationship between Lin Xiaoruo and Gu Moxuan has always been intriguing.

Therefore, the security personnel at the entrance did not dare to treat Lin Xiaoruo the same way they treated other people.

Mo Qing did not immediately answer the other party's question, but instead looked up at Gu Moxuan and asked for his opinion.

The man who had been looking deep and thoughtful just moments before now exuded a different aura, carrying a certain meaning.

Mo Qing lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Sir, Miss Lin has arrived."

Gu Moxuan frowned slightly, then said in a low voice.

"Tell her to wait for me in the living room."

His voice didn't reveal much emotion, but the way he turned and walked into the bedroom clearly showed he was angry.

Perhaps for a few seconds, he thought the Miss Lin who came to the door was Lin Qingran.

Mo Qing sighed and used the walkie-talkie to tell them to let Lin Xiaoruo in.

Lin Xiaoru saw the gate of Maple Forest Manor open and then stepped inside.

She hadn't set foot in this place for three years.

This used to be the old residence of the Gu family, but Gu Moxuan occupied it all by himself.

The buildings here are all of great historical significance. As Lin Xiaoruo stepped into Maple Forest Villa, the scene of when Master Lin took them to visit the Gu family seemed to appear before her eyes.

Her small body sat in the corner, silent, her self-esteem so low she felt ashamed.

Lin Qingran was surrounded by a group of people, her face beaming with a confident smile.

The boy sitting next to her, like her, was unable to blend into the atmosphere.

But the way he looked at Lin Qingran shone with a dazzling light.

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath, steadied herself, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

It's completely different now.

She is no longer the insecure girl she once was.

Lin Qingran is no longer the precious treasure that everyone cherishes.

If she wanted to, she could always influence the relationship between Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran.

Although Gu Moxuan's mind has been swayed by Lin Qingran.

But she won't give up easily.

Lin Xiaoruo wore a beige long dress, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, a faint smile on her face, though she looked a little tired, and wore light makeup.

She is good-looking, but not exactly refined.

She entered the living room and, not seeing Gu Moxuan, her expression changed slightly.

Where is Mo Xuan?

Mo Qing stood to the side with a professional smile on her face. "The gentleman is still upstairs and will be down shortly. Please wait a moment, Miss Lin."

Lin Xiaoruo pursed her lips, didn't say much, reached out and lifted her skirt, and started to walk upstairs.

Before she even reached the top of the stairs, Mo Qing stopped her.

She frowned in confusion, looking at the composed butler before her, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

After all, she was someone close to Gu Moxuan, so she tried her best to control her emotions, with a slight smile on her lips.

"Butler Mo, what do you mean?"

Mo Qing kept his hand in front of Lin Xiaoruo, his tone calm and unhurried.

“Miss Lin, without the master’s instructions, we cannot let anyone go up. I’m sorry, I hope you can understand my work.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoru frowned, her pretty face fell, and she couldn't maintain her smile.

"Really? What if Lin Qingran comes along? Will the result be the same?"

Mo Qing paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"The master did not instruct the lady not to enter."

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath and smiled helplessly, but the ambition and greed in her eyes were obvious.

"Okay, I understand. My sister and I are ultimately different."

Mo Qing did not answer, and withdrew his hand after seeing Lin Xiaoruo turn around.

She looked at Lin Xiaoruo calmly, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

But what I was really thinking was...

Lin Xiaoruo and Lin Qingran are both educated by the Lin family, so how could there be such a big difference between them?

It's clear that Lin Xiaoruo is trying very hard to learn Lin Qingran's composure and calmness, but she still lacks the skill and can't control her emotions.

Gu Moxuan changed into a suit and came downstairs.

After being disappointed by Mo Qing, Lin Xiaoruo sat on the sofa with a rather unpleasant expression on her face.

Upon hearing footsteps, his expression immediately changed, and with a faint smile, he slowly stood up from the sofa.

Her demeanor and movements were very elegant.

It just looked strangely unnatural.

“Mo Xuan…”

Gu Moxuan stared at Lin Xiaoruo in her beige dress, his expression somewhat dazed.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Qingran had worn the same beige dress before.

The thought of that aloof woman walking among the wealthy and powerful in that dress made Gu Moxuan's face turn cold and sullen.

"This outfit doesn't suit you very well."

Lin Xiaoruo paused for a moment and looked down at her dress.

Everyone else said it was a good fit.

But when it came to Gu Moxuan, it became a derogatory term.

"But it's too late to go back and change now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Moxuan frowned, his eyes showing a hint of hesitation.

Seeing that he seemed to have completely forgotten, Lin Xiaoruo bit her lip and said softly.

"Have you forgotten that the Huo family is hosting a banquet in City A today?"

"It was supposed to be on the weekend, but it's been changed to this Wednesday, which is today. I just went to Sixiang Garden, and my sister has already set off."

She bit her lip lightly as she spoke, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"Mo Xuan, you don't mean you don't want to take me with you, do you?"

Gu Moxuan remained silent, not answering her question immediately.

Lin Xiaoruo took a deep breath and then said in a low voice.

"Jinhua is still waiting for me outside. I don't know if the announcement has been sent out yet. It's okay if you have other plans. I'll have someone withdraw the announcement."
