In the meeting room on the top floor of Lin's Group, Lin Muhan sat in the leading position as he listened to the report from below.
This meeting was something he had decided on the spur of the moment in order to forget that figure.
However, when he sat down, he realized that he had failed.
Lin Muhan looked at the report in front of him absentmindedly. He had a feeling that he had forgotten something, but he could not recall anything.
On the phone just now, she answered without hesitation.
As he listened to the report, he grabbed his phone and couldn't help but click on the tracking software. When he saw the position displayed, he frowned. Why was she here at KTV so late at night?
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration.
When he met Gu Licheng yesterday, he seemed to have said that they would have a classmate gathering tonight!
No wonder he felt like he had forgotten something. It was such an important matter!
He pushed his chair away and stood up, making a loud sound. Everyone looked at him in confusion. The chief treasurer who was making the report was even more scared, afraid that there was something wrong with his report that would make the CEO so angry.
"CEO..." Secretary Lee walked forward and lowered his voice, asking, "Is there a problem?"
"I have some family matters to take care of, adjourn the meeting!" Lin Muhan looked at everyone and walked out of the conference room.
"Family matters?"
"Could it be that the lordmaster …"
"Nonsense, it's most likely the Madam President. Didn't you see how angry the CEO was just now?!"
Inside the meeting room, everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but perspire for Mi Xue. However, they were also very curious, what exactly made Lin Muhan give up his work to immediately deal with it.

Within the box of the KTV, Michelle suddenly sneezed.
Gu Licheng lightly patted her back, and Mi Xue immediately shifted to the side. It was as if she was avoiding something she was afraid of, and the hand that was originally going to slap down suddenly froze in place, and only after pausing for a long while did she awkwardly retract her hand.
"What are you going to do next?" Gu Licheng acted as if nothing happened and asked.
"I don't know either." Michelle sighed.
In fact, Gu Licheng knew that every time, she would only be able to hold on for a bit longer and not lose face.
"Michelle, actually I …"
"I say, the two of you, once you've entered, you'll hide here and whisper to each other. Is this a good thing that is about to happen?"
Mi Xue immediately explained when Gu Licheng's words were drowned in his thoughts. "We are just ordinary friends."
"Beauty Mi, are we friends?" the man asked.
Michelle nodded. "Of course."
"Then why didn't you say anything to me? The treatment of this friend of yours is too terrible, right?" The man was joking.
Mi Xue's face flushed red. She looked at Gu Licheng and saw that he was still calm as usual.
"Alright, I won't tease you guys anymore. Why don't you all sing a song for everyone?"
"You hit the nail on the head. I remember one time at school, you two collaborated together for a song and even got a prize. What was it?"
Everyone was lost in their memories, while Michelle felt extremely awkward.
"Roof!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly. Michelle did not expect that everyone would still remember her after so long.
When some students heard the name of the song, they immediately went to light up the song. The familiar melody echoed in the room.
Li Liang, who was in charge of the group, quickly handed over the microphone. Gu Licheng immediately took it, but Mi Xue refused to pick up the microphone. "It's been so long, I had long forgotten about the tune."
"Beautiful Mi, please give me some face and sing a song."
Michelle felt a little upset. She had already said it so clearly, why were these people so insistent on forcing her?
Was it really that interesting to be flirting like this?
She did her best to give Gu Licheng a meaningful glance, but Gu Licheng, who had always been concerned about her, did not react at all.
"Beauty Mi, it can't be that you don't want to play with us, right?" Li Liang couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's just that I've really forgotten about this song." Michelle repeated.
Gu Licheng stood by her side, holding onto the microphone as he looked at the side of her face. His gaze was very gentle, "It's rare to gather together, what's more, it's just a song."
After Gu Licheng finished speaking, the private box's door was forcefully pushed open, and a Leng Cen's voice broke the clamor.
"Yeah, it's just a song!" Lin Muhan undid two buttons on his shirt, put his hands into his pockets, and casually walked over with his coat folded. His expression was distinct, but his gaze was as cold as the winter's frost.
When Mi Xue heard the sound, she immediately turned around. She thought it was just an illusion, but when she saw that it was really him, she froze on the spot.
Didn't he say that there would be a meeting?
Looking at Mi Xue's expression, Gu Licheng subconsciously protected her by his side.
Originally, Lin Muhan only had an ice-cold look in his eyes, but after seeing this action, and in front of so many people's eyes, his face became even more gloomy.
He really had the guts!
He took two steps forward and scooped her up in his arms.
When Gu Licheng saw this scene, he wanted to step forward, but he felt that this wasn't the right time.
The boisterous private box seemed to have felt the strange atmosphere at this moment. Everyone's gazes were gathered at this place, and it was completely silent.
Seeing that Mi Xue's worried eyes were still fixed on Gu Licheng, Lin Muhan's anger deepened, and he turned his head slightly to the side, leaning over and giving her a light kiss on the cheek.
Sensing the chill on his thin lips, Michelle snapped out of her daze, her face burning.
"Woman, you don't seem to take my words to heart. Should I punish you?" Lin Muhan touched her lips and whispered into her ear.
Mi Xue's body could not help but tremble. When she raised her head, she suddenly saw Lin Muhan staring at Gu Licheng.
In that moment, Mi Xue knew the meaning behind Lin Muhan's words. He was going to deal with Gu Licheng!
"Him and me …"
Before Mi Xue could finish speaking, Lin Muhan had already reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I'm sorry, the company has arrived late, I told you to come here alone."
With a smile on his face, he looked at Michelle with eyes full of tenderness, as if they were a couple in love.
"Didn't you say to work overtime?" Michelle whispered.
"Wife is the oldest. How could I not come to such an important occasion?" Lin Muhan said lovingly.
This scene caused everyone to be extremely shocked.
How could this be done by a husband and wife who had a bad relationship with each other? It was as if they were here to abuse a dog.
And the one being oppressed, was Gu Licheng!
Seeing them getting along harmoniously, Gu Licheng could not believe the information he had gathered. Did Lin Muhan really not love Mi Xue?
Returning back to his original seat, Gu Licheng felt as if he had lost his soul.
"Come come come, since President lin is here, let them sing this song!" When Li Liang saw that everyone was stunned, he immediately stood up to welcome them.
Lin Muhan looked at the song on the screen and shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't know this song either."
"Then President lin, which one do you know?" Li Liang also felt that this poem wasn't suitable, but he didn't know what to replace it with.
Michelle tugged at Lin Muhan's sleeve. "Let them sing."
"I came too late. It's only right to sing a song!" Lin Muhan smiled gently at her.
With just a smile, Michelle's heart melted.
How long had it been since she last saw such a smile!
"To the moon!" Lin Muhan said the title of the song.
Mi Xue was slightly surprised. This song was her cell phone's ringtone. She once liked this song very much, thinking that it should be the appearance of love. She never thought that Lin Muhan would choose this song today!
Furthermore, after knowing him for such a long time, Lin Muhan gave off a cold and harsh feeling. Let alone hearing him sing a song, he didn't even listen to him.
Li Liang pushed the microphone into both of their hands. A familiar melody came over as Lin Muhan gently pulled her hand that was drenched in cold sweat.
A deep and melodious voice rang out, matching with the lyrics of the song.
He turned his head to the side. Due to the angle, his eyes were half-closed, and his expression had an expression of indifference and satisfaction. The dim yellow light in the room reflected off his amber eyes, reflecting a blurry luster.
It was unknown if it was an illusion, but Mi Xue felt that there was a faint smile in his eyes, and the coldness in his body seemed to dissipate at this moment.
Only when he was almost done singing his part did he turn around to look at her. He noticed that she was staring intently at the side of his face. The corner of her mouth lifted slightly, and she squeezed Mi Xue's hand with a bit of force.
Michelle started to sing her part in panic.
Their voices complemented each other, and the harmony in their voices was so deep that it stunned everyone present.
After the two of them finished singing, thunderous applause rang out from the room.
Mi Xue's face reddened slightly. She did not expect Lin Muhan to sing this song so well.
In the corner, Gu Licheng saw the scene in front of him.
Initially, he had thought that since Mi Xue and Lin Muhan's relationship wasn't harmonious, he still had a chance. Now it seemed that everything was just what he thought.
"Come, let's take a seat over there." Lin Muhan led Mi Xue to Gu Licheng's side and he sat down. Mi Xue sat beside him and asked, "Why did you cut your hair?"
Finally, he noticed.
Michelle tilted her head to the side and looked at the smiling man before her.
"Long hair is hard to take care of, so I cut it." Michelle repressed the thought in her mind and spoke calmly.
Lin Muhan extended his hand and fixed her hair, then nodded and said, "This hairstyle suits your temperament more."
Nani?
Mi Xue thought she misheard. Was Lin Muhan praising her?
Didn't he always like long hair?
Mi Xue was flabbergasted. She could not believe that Lin Muhan had said those words.
Long time no see with your classmate, you should have a lot of things to say, don't worry about me, Mr. Gu will take care of me. Lin Muhan said to Mi Xue softly.
Mi Xue looked at Lin Muhan, then swept past him and looked at Gu Licheng who was seated on the other side of him.
These two men.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him!" Lin Muhan explained, but when he said it, he felt that something was wrong, and his face turned cold.
As expected, it worked. Michelle did not ask any further questions, but chatted with the girl sitting beside her.
When she had blended into that group, Lin Muhan finally regained his senses and looked at Gu Licheng.
