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

Lin Qingran pursed her thin lips, her expression calm and composed, unperturbed by praise or criticism.

After changing into her formal dress, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked out of the bedroom.

Gu Moxuan was sitting on the sofa, looking down at his phone, seemingly texting someone.

His long, slender fingers danced across the phone screen. Seeing someone emerge from the bedroom, he looked up, his deep eyes fixed on the person walking towards him.

Lin Qingran's lips curled slightly, and her face, which was without any makeup, looked somewhat youthful.

His hand, which was tapping on the screen, stopped.

I thought Lin Qingran looked stunning in a red dress, but I was surprised to see her even more breathtaking in a black dress.

The mysterious black color made her appear even more dignified, exuding both grandeur and elegance.

No wonder she attracted a lot of fans even though she didn't enter the entertainment industry.

No wonder Shen Huai was so persistent in trying to sign Lin Qingran to debut.

Gu Moxuan took a deep breath. For a moment, he wanted to keep this woman hidden by his side and not let anyone find out.

When Huo Wanqing saw Lin Qingran walk out, the simple yet elegant dress looked so harmonious and natural on her.

Her unadorned elegance and poise are captivating.

Huo Wanqing suddenly felt that wearing the same dress as Lin Qingran would be humiliating.

Liang Jiao watched Lin Qingran walk out slowly, her eyes gleaming slightly.

It seems that he is looking at another person through Lin Qingran.

That young version of myself, just as stunning as Lin Qingran back then.

Although she wasn't by Lin Qingran's side to watch her grow up, among all the children, Lin Qingran was the one who resembled her the most.

"This outfit really suits you."

Her praise was heartfelt, without uttering overly complimentary words.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Huo Wanqing's eyes. She glanced at Gu Moxuan, who was still holding his phone but whose gaze never left Lin Qingran, and gritted her teeth inwardly.

"Of course, it doesn't even matter who chose the dress."

Lin Qingran remained calm. Seeing Gu Moxuan's burning gaze fall on her, she smiled slightly and said softly.

“Indeed, if it weren’t for Miss Huo’s discerning eye, I wouldn’t have known that I suit this black dress so well. Thank you very much, Miss Huo.”

Huo Wanqing frowned slightly, and seeing the sincerity in Lin Qingran's eyes, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

She did harbor a strange hostility towards Lin Qingran, but now, seeing Lin Qingran thanking her so sincerely, she was at a loss for how to react.

"Don't think you can fool me by pretending to be stupid. Consider this my gift to you, to repay the favor I owe you before."

"As for other things, you'd better not even think about them."

Lin Qingran had no feelings about the Huo family's wealth, nor any interest in the wealth held by Liang Jiaowei.

Judging from Huo Wanqing's current reaction, it's likely that Huo Jinsheng left a considerable inheritance to Liang Jiaowei.

When Liang Jiaowei left the Lin family and joined the Huo family, she got what she wanted.

Lin Qingran remained calm, her tone gentle.

"Miss Huo, rest assured, I've always been a pretty law-abiding person."

Huo Wanqing raised an eyebrow slightly, gave Lin Qingran a scrutinizing look, snorted coldly, and turned to leave the suite.

Seeing Huo Wanqing leave, Liang Jiaowei looked at Lin Qingran with a hint of apology in her eyes and said softly.

"Qingran, I'm sorry, Wanqing has been spoiled by me since she was little. Please don't take it to heart."

Lin Qingran remained expressionless, completely disregarding Liang Jiaowei's apology.

"Mrs. Huo is too kind. It is my honor that Miss Huo has taken such good care of me. How could I be so ungrateful as to ask for anything else?"

She paused for a moment, then continued.

"Mrs. Huo is the host of tonight's banquet, and guests should be arriving at the venue soon. Mrs. Huo, please go ahead and take care of your business. I will head to the venue after I've finished getting ready here."

Seeing Lin Qingran's distant attitude, Liang Jiaowei realized that Lin Qingran clearly didn't want to get closer to her.

She wasn't in a hurry; she nodded and turned to leave.

Huo Wanqing left, but she left the makeup artist and costume designer behind.

Lin Qingran sat in front of the dressing table and saw Gu Moxuan sitting on the sofa behind her. His deep eyes were fixed on her, and his cold face revealed no emotion.

This was the first time he had ever been so patient with her while she did her makeup.

Or perhaps it could be said that there was no such harmonious scene between them.

In the past, no matter what kind of banquet or venue she attended, she always did her makeup by herself.

Occasionally, she couldn't escape the annoying Shen Huai, so he would accompany her.

At this moment, Gu Moxuan was sitting behind her, her gaze occasionally glancing at the man in the mirror.

The man, who had been sitting on the sofa with a cold expression, suddenly stood up, walked to the French windows, and turned his back to her.

Lin Qingran pursed her red lips and calmly withdrew her gaze.

The makeup artist finished Lin Qingran's makeup and looked delighted, as if she were seeing a perfect work of art.

"Miss Lin has the best skin I've ever met! She looks good no matter what makeup she wears."

Gu Moxuan turned around curiously after hearing what my makeup artist said.

There was no surprise in his eyes; his deep gaze was as calm as still water.

Her originally delicate face was now lightly made up. Her previously untouched face was transformed by the makeup, giving her a completely different complexion.

Her cool eyes were adorned with alluring eye makeup, giving her a captivating and alluring appearance.

The makeup artist was very satisfied with the makeup she had done for Lin Qingran today, grinning from ear to ear with a bright smile.

"Mr. Gu, isn't your wife beautiful?"

Gu Moxuan's expression was inappropriate, and he said in a calm voice.

"so so."

The makeup artist looked surprised upon hearing this.

In her opinion, Lin Qingran's beauty was so stunning that it could only be described as breathtaking.

“A woman as beautiful as Miss Lin would definitely be a champion in a beauty pageant here.”

"Women are meant to be pampered, just like carefully cultivated flowers that need daily watering to grow even more beautiful. If Mr. Gu were to praise Miss Lin more, I'm afraid her beauty would only reach new heights."

"Your relationship will definitely be even sweeter than it is now."

Lin Qingran's lips curled slightly, and seeing Gu Moxuan's indifferent expression, she chuckled softly.

I reckon only in City A would someone dare to speak to Gu Moxuan like that.

If this were in the northern part of the city, this makeup artist would probably be out of a job.

She smiled slightly, her bright eyes taking on a charming look, while Gu Moxuan frowned slightly.

It must be admitted that Lin Qingran is indeed very beautiful.
