Dong, dong, dong!
The door to the office was pushed open once again, and Secretary Lee walked in hastily with an expression that had never been seen before. Standing in front of Lin Muhan's desk, Secretary Lee opened his mouth but did not know whether or not to speak.
"Speak!" Lin Muhan sized up the usually calm secretary.
"CEO, something bad has happened! The photo has been leaked!" Secretary Lee's tone revealed panic.
Lin Muhan's hands did as he was told, and his eyes turned cold. The smile on his face disappeared for a moment, and the temperature in the office suddenly dropped by a few degrees.
Secretary Lee felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse. He didn't dare to look at Lin Muhan's eyes, and simply stood there with his head lowered, as if he had made a mistake.
"What's going on?" Lin Muhan frowned, his gaze sharp like an eagle.
"Just as we were about to investigate, the photos were already being uploaded onto the internet." Secretary Lee braced himself and replied.
The surrounding air seemed to have frozen, Lin Muhan's handsome face did not show any emotion, his fingers hitting the table repeatedly.
It had only been a few seconds, but Secretary Lee felt cold sweat trickling down his back.
"Where is she now?" Lin Muhan's face was gloomy.
"I'm not sure." Secretary Lee lowered his head, wishing that he could find a hole to hide in.
Mi Xue only had one friend in this place, and that was Gu Licheng …
Thinking till this point, Lin Muhan's heart suddenly slowed, his hand forcefully slapped on the table, the chill on his body became even stronger, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Investigate!"
Lin Muhan spat out one word, as though he had received amnesty, and immediately left the office.
In such a huge office, only Lin Muhan was left, the picture on the table was unusually eye-catching. When she was with him, she would forever reveal a sense of unwillingness, and always look like a dead fish. But when she was with Gu Licheng, she was actually so harmonious, there was even a trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Laugh!
How long had it been since he'd seen the woman smile?
Why was she smiling so happily at other men? A part of her heart was agitated as her anger rose.

Inside the villa, Michelle stood by the window, staring out at the scenery. Her mind was a mess.
That ring was like the last straw that forced her to bend her knee. At this moment, she no longer had any expectations towards this marriage.
It had all been a mistake, but she had never been able to see through it.
Suddenly, Michelle's eyes lit up.
At the main gate, Lin Muhan's car appeared.
He's back.
Mi Xue couldn't help but shiver. These days, he was just like a nightmare.
At the beginning of their marriage, Michelle had also thought of being a good woman in the future. She wanted to be like her husband and daughter, gentle and virtuous, and lead a bland and blissful life. Every day at the door of her husband's office, she waited for him to reunite.
It was only the first day of their marriage, but Lin Muhan had already broken all these rules. From then on, he was a demon, a demon that tortured her to the point where she was covered in wounds.
The strength in her body seemed to have been sucked out of her in an instant. Michelle strolled over to the bed and lay down under the thin blanket.
In the carriage, Lin Muhan looked at the familiar figure walking out of the window sadly. His already cold eyes flashed with a trace of chill.
"Young Master." When Aunt Liu saw that he had returned, she immediately stepped forward to welcome him.
Lin Muhan did not care about him and quickly walked to the door of the bedroom and opened it angrily.
A few rays of sunlight shone through the transparent window onto her face. Her long hair was casually hanging down to one side. The wind blew gently, and her originally white face was now sickly white. It was lovable and heartbreaking.
The anger that was about to explode from him died in an instant, Lin Muhan's footsteps stopped.
Hearing the door opening, Mi Xue raised her head and saw Lin Muhan. Her body stiffened a little as she couldn't help but move to the side, pulling apart the distance between them.
Seeing such a subtle action in Lin Muhan's eyes, his cold eyes flashed with a trace of anger, and he could not help but frown. The suppressed anger rose even higher, he continued to move forward, his thin lips slightly parted, a cold voice came out, "Where did you go today?"
Mi Xue frowned, and looked at Lin Muhan with his beautiful eyes. "Where did I go?
Hearing this question, Lin Muhan hastened her steps and walked to the bedside. Her cold eyes were locked on Mi Xue, trying to find some clues from her face.
However, he was disappointed. There was no trace of life in Michelle's eyes, only emptiness without focus.
Lin Muhan took out the photo from his chest and threw it on the bed. He reached out and hooked his finger under Mi Xue's chin.
Lin Muhan's voice was normal, and even softer than usual. Mi Xue was very clear that this was the prelude to a storm.
She looked down at the photo on the bed and shivered.
How could he have all this?
She had only eaten a meal with Gu Licheng, yet someone had taken a photo of her.
"It seems like Mrs. Lin is not satisfied with what I have here, and wants to find joy in her lover's place!" Lin Muhan taunted as he stared at Mi Xue.
"I …"
Michelle wanted to explain, but hesitated the moment she spoke.
Lin Muhan thought he could hear her explanation, but he never expected her to fall silent. Looking at her empty eyes suddenly filled with emotions, his lips curved up into a beautiful smile, but his eyes were filled with playfulness.
He wanted to see what this woman had to say.
"What can a few pictures tell you?"
After a long while, Michelle returned to her normal self and spoke softly.
"Mrs. Lin's meaning is that there is no need to explain." Lin Muhan's tone became somewhat colder.
If it were in the past, Michelle would definitely be trembling with fear and hurriedly tried to explain. However, she did not do so today.
She just stared blankly at Lin Muhan. This familiar yet unfamiliar man, she suddenly smiled, "If I admit to it, will you let me go?"
Just a second ago, Lin Muhan was still captivated by that smile. The next second, Michelle's words made his heart sink.
Good, very good!
This woman actually knew how to provoke him.
"If so, I will admit it." Mi Xue's gaze turned sharp. "If not, this is framing!"
Her rare determination caused Lin Muhan to be slightly surprised, as this was completely the opposite of what he remembered of her.
But at the same time, it caught his interest.
framing?
He recalled these photos that were being spread online for a short period of time, and his black eyes shivered. He really wanted to see who dared to frame him, Lin Muhan's, people.
At this moment, even he did not realize that he had already classified Mi Xue as his personal possession.
When he saw the rarely seen stubbornness in Mi Xue's eyes, he could not help but harden his heart. The strength in his hand that was pinching her chin increased. His fair skin instantly flushed red.
She still stubbornly raised her head, without a single hint of a woman asking for mercy.
Love to be brave!
Lin Muhan labeled her in his heart, but his hands unconsciously loosened a little, and he coldly said, "Hmph, you said framing is framing? If you do not do it, then how can others have the chance to frame you! "
A cold sneer flashed through Michelle's heart. She didn't know what she was expecting, but she still felt a little disappointed when she heard this.
His emotions went deep.
How could she, who deeply loved him, so easily ignore him?
Mi Xue mocked herself. "Since you don't think it's a trap, then it's real. I admit it. Can you let me go now?"
You wish! Lin Muhan shouted in his heart.
On the surface, he was still pretending to be strong and asking with interest, "Who do you think will waste their time to frame you?"
"The one who gets the benefit is naturally the one who gets the benefit." Michelle mocked herself.
In this place, she did not know many people, and the people she offended were even fewer. Even she could guess who they were, she did not believe that Lin Muhan would not be able to guess their identity.
Mi Xue didn't dodge at all as she looked straight into Lin Muhan's eyes which were as black as icebergs.
Lin Muhan's eyes flashed, his eyes became slightly cold, and a name immediately appeared in his mind.
When he thought about the video that he had seen not long ago, and how he had coincidentally met her brother, Meng Yu Sen, a few days ago when he went to the High Clubhouse with Meng Yuyan, Meng Yu Sen, he couldn't help but ask him, "Brother-in-law, when are you going to divorce that woman? Our whole family is waiting for your good news."
At that time, Meng Yuyan was incomparably bashful and said a few words to her brother fiercely.
But now that he thought about it, was it really a coincidence that he met Meng Yushan? And the ring.
Something that had been missed seemed to be picked up at this moment. Lin Muhan was agitated for a moment, but when he looked at Mi Xue's hundred percent sure expression, he became even more furious.
Mi Xue pretended to be calm and waited for an answer. She glanced at Lin Muhan from the corner of her eyes.
"You should be the one to benefit the most from this, right?" "Mi Xue, why are you still thinking so much? The reason you're doing this is simply to make me hate you and to let me go!"
"Just give up on me. I won't fall for your trick!" Lin Muhan warned with a low voice.
Just a second ago, he was still expressionless. In the next second, he became like a devil, looking at her with a gaze akin to a disgusting cockroach, threatening her to the extreme.
His heart ached from the pain.
He should have seen it clearly long ago, but he always looked forward to it and brought trouble upon himself.
Michelle shrank back and wrapped her arms around her legs, as if she could relax a little.
Looking at the woman in front of his eyes, Lin Muhan's gaze grew cold. He actually had the urge to hug her in his arms.
Damn it!
Shocked by the thought, he released his grip on her chin, turned, and stalked out of the room.
Bang!
Mi Xue only heard the loud sound of the door closing, as if she was announcing Lin Muhan's anger. She smiled bitterly.
The biggest beneficiary was her?
Hehe!
It turned out that in his heart, Meng Yuyan was still as pure as white paper, and she was the root of all his sins!
His heart slightly trembled.
Tears fell down uncontrollably.
The sun shone brightly outside the window, shining onto Michelle's face. However, she did not feel the slightest bit of warmth. It was as if her entire person was submerged in ice-cold water, so cold that it seeped into her heart.
The more it was like this, the clearer her mind became.
Recalling the conversation just now, she suddenly made an important discovery!
