When they returned to the villa, Michelle's heart sank to the bottom.
Lin Muhan pulled her hand and dragged her inside. Seeing her return, Aunt Liu and the other servants heaved a sigh of relief, and went up to her and asked in concern, "Madam, you're finally back."
Lin Muhan turned a deaf ear to all of this, pulling Mi Xue along as he returned to his room, throwing her with all his might.
Mi Xue, who was caught off guard, staggered and fell to the ground.
Pain!
However, Michelle knew that this wasn't the time to cry out in pain and show weakness. This was her only chance, the chance to gain benefits for herself.
She crawled up from the ground, looked at Lin Muhan probingly with her beautiful eyes, and then quickly moved away.
Lin Muhan naturally could not miss such a small action. He calmly stood where he was, as if he was waiting for Mi Xue to speak up. In fact, he was already secretly trying to figure out what this woman was going to say.
"Let's talk." Michelle took a bold step forward and carefully hid her hands behind her back.
Lin Muhan frowned slightly as his gaze swept across the hand that had already torn off its skin.
"I'm curious. What do you want to talk about with me?" Lin Muhan found a chair and sat down. His clear and cold face was calm, and his eyes were as calm as an ancient lake.
Mi Xue carefully looked at Lin Muhan. His answer did surprise her, and there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes. "Grandfather is sick, I can forget about getting a divorce, but we can separate first!"
Lin Muhan slightly curled his lips and said, "What right do you think you have to negotiate with me?"
Lin Muhan's words contained a hint of coldness, as though a bucket of snow was being poured on his head. Michelle had expected this answer long ago, but she still felt her heart go cold when she heard his answer. She stubbornly said, "You also didn't want anything to happen to grandpa at this time, right?"
A hint of interest appeared on the corner of Lin Muhan's mouth, but it was even more filled with ridicule. "Mi Xue, you seem to have forgotten that the thing I hate the most in this life is being threatened by others!"
Michelle's hand jerked. She had forgotten.
She pursed her lips and did not say anything for a long time. She clearly remembered that someone had threatened Lin Muhan before as well, but in the blink of an eye, that person's company had been declared bankrupt. Just now, she had been in a rush to step on this minefield.
Lin Muhan sized up the lady in front of him. Without waiting for her to regain her senses, he suddenly threw her onto the bed. His actions were crude, and did not have the slightest trace of mercy.
Before Mi Xue could react, Lin Muhan had already leaned over and ripped off the thin shirt she wore. He held her hands in one hand and tore off her skirt with the other.
His actions were crude, and a few traces of red appeared on Michelle's fair and tender skin.
Michelle resisted instinctively, but he had no intention of stopping. He was about to break through the last layer of defense.
"Let her recuperate properly during this period of time. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for her to conceive in the future!"
After Xu Yansheng's words resounded in his mind, Lin Muhan's movements also stopped right after. He panted heavily as he looked at the dead fish-like woman below him, climbed up from her body, and said mockingly, "Tell me, how can a woman like you arouse the interest of a man? I lost all interest in seeing that face of yours. "
Michelle breathed a sigh of relief but didn't go any further.
She looked at Lin Muhan who had already lit a cigarette, hesitated for a bit, and in the end, said softly, "Have you considered the proposal that I made just now?"
Lin Muhan's face became even colder, he turned and walked to the window.
"Scram!"
When Mi Xue did not know what that meant, Lin Muhan's cold voice reached her ears.
Shhh...
With a long sigh, Michelle ran out of the room.
Lin Muhan stood at the window and looked through the glass at Mi Xue's fleeing figure. It was as if they were living in a purgatory, he could not wait any longer and wanted to escape. His hand clenched into a fist and his joints turned white. He tried his best to suppress the unhappiness in his heart.
He did not understand why she would suppress her desire and leave Xu Yansheng's body after hearing her words.
Was it because he cared about her?
No, it was just that it was too wicked. He had stopped because of past relationships!
Lin Muhan took two deep puffs on his cigarette, using this reason to convince himself, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
At the moment, he desperately needed a cold shower to relieve his body's discomfort.
Mi Xue walked out of the room. It was only when she had closed the door that she finally calmed down. Looking at the tightly shut door, she went to the guest room next door and locked it from the inside. Lying on the bed, she felt that everything was real.
Lin Muhan let her go, could it be that he still had her in his heart?
No, don't think too highly of yourself, Mi Xue shouted in her heart. Her beautiful eyes were filled with wounds.
Suddenly, Mi Xue's gaze stopped on the fixed phone on the bedside table. She stretched out her hand hesitantly and quickly dialed the number that was already familiar to her.
"Hello."
When the dry voice came on the other end of the line, Michelle felt as if a century had passed.
"Hey, please speak."
Mi Xue's hand gripped the receiver tightly as her heartbeat accelerated in an instant. "Li Cheng!"
… ….
The next day, Mi Xue woke up from her bed and Aunt Liu was already waiting at the door.
"Young Madam, breakfast is ready." Aunt Liu smiled as usual.
Michelle nodded and went downstairs to sit in front of the table. She ate her breakfast slowly and looked up after she was done. "I'm going out for a while."
Aunt Liu's face changed, "Young madam, you should call the young master."
"Alright!"
Mi Xue walked to the side of the phone and dialed Lin Muhan's number. In order to dispel Aunt Liu's suspicions, she had even switched off the phone.
"My best friend's birthday is coming up in a few days. I want to buy a bracelet for her." Michelle said softly.
It was the time when Lin Muhan was going through the documents. He was very surprised to receive a call from his family, but when he heard the request, he frowned slightly.
This morning, he wanted to go see her, but this woman had actually locked the door from the inside.
Lin Muhan thought deeply for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'll ask Little Chen to accompany you, first to swipe his card."
Mi Xue felt miserable. As a Mrs. Lin, she didn't have a single cent on him. It was truly ironic that she had to borrow a bodyguard card to go out. However, she softly agreed.
Half an hour later, Little Chen drove Mi Xue to the jewelry store.
"Little Chen, wait for me here!" Michelle opened the door.
"Young Madam, it's better if I follow you in. I can help you carry your things." The Little Chen said politely.
A bitter smile hung on the corner of Mi Xue's mouth. After yesterday's incident, she had become the main target of surveillance. How could Lin Muhan be at ease with her alone?
Without saying anything, Mi Xue directly stepped into the shop. Little Chen, on the other hand, waited at the door in a very orderly manner.
Michelle looked at the ring on the counter carefully, feeling anxious.
"Miss, may I ask which one you like? You can try it on." The shop assistant stood by his side and recommended.
Mi Xue looked away. She smiled and said, "You should also reclaim the ring, right?"
"Miss wants to sell the ring?" the shop assistant asked.
Mi Xue nodded. Taking advantage of the moment Little Chen turned around, he took out an exquisite box from his pocket and opened the box. The exquisite ring appeared in front of the shop assistant.
"Miss?"
Seeing no reaction from her for a long time, the shop assistant urged her to hurry up.
"Could you please help me see how much this ring can be folded into?" Michelle took a deep breath to complete her sentence.
"Alright!"
When the shop assistant took the ring away, Michelle couldn't help but take a step forward, as if her whole heart followed the ring.
Michelle lowered her head and stared thoughtfully at the delicate box, her eyes filled with misery.
"Do you still have the ring I saw last time?" A delicate voice rang out, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of perfume.
Mi Xue couldn't help but pinch her nose. She couldn't help but raise her head, only to see a familiar face. Michelle took a step back and held onto the counter to steady herself.
"Miss Mi, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Michelle exhausted all her energy to speak.
The person who just came in was none other than Lin Muhan's first love, the woman who made Lin Muhan misunderstand her. But at this moment, she only smiled tenderly, a hint of provocation in her eyes.
The people who came were not friendly!
Meng Yuyan fixed her gaze on the exquisite box in Mi Xue's hands, and the corner of her mouth flashed with a slight smile of unknown meaning.
"Miss Meng, I have reserved a ring for you." The clerk stepped forward in time and took out a box.
Meng Yuyan looked at it for a bit, then took out the storage ring and put it on her finger, nodding in satisfaction.
Michelle only felt that all of this was too dazzling.
"Han, I'm at the jewelry store. Didn't I tell you before that I like a ring? Buy it for me, okay?" Meng Yuyan spoke coquettishly into the phone.
Michelle turned pale and grabbed the ring's box with all her might.
"Alright, I'll wait for you here." Meng Yuyan hung up the call with satisfaction and unintentionally glanced at Mi Xue. She lowered her voice and said, "Miss Mi, do you feel awkward when the cold comes?"
Meng Yuyan stepped forward with her high heels and stopped in front of Mi Xue. "If I were you, I would definitely leave this place right now."
There was a hint of a victorious smile on her face as she brushed past Michelle with her shoulder.
Mi Xue forced out a small smile and said to Meng Yuyan's back, "Miss Meng, since the cold weather has come, I think the one who should be leaving is you."
Meng Yuyan stopped, gritted her teeth, and anger flashed across her face.
"Miss Mi is joking, even now you still don't know your own position?" Meng Yuyan clenched her teeth and said.
"These words should be said by me and Miss Meng." The smile on Mi Xue's face intensified. "I've never seen Little San act so arrogantly before!"
Meng Yuyan hastened her steps to the resting area, but Mi Xue was unable to smile no matter what.
He was coming over. What would happen if he knew that she was here to sell that limited edition ring? Michelle felt a chill run down her spine.
