His hand was not as cold as it used to be. Instead, it was warm.

"I haven't washed my face." Michelle quickly found an excuse.

Lin Muhan did not expose her as he leaned on the doorframe, smiling at her: "I will wait for you."

"No need, no need, you can go down first!" Mi Xue hastily waved her hands, but Lin Muhan did not have the intention to leave. She could only resign herself to her fate and wash her face again.

When he came out, he saw a slight curve on the corner of Lin Muhan's mouth, and his usual coolness.

The two of them went downstairs together, shocking Aunt Liu, who quickly brought out another bowl. It was as if there was something different inside the house.

As she sat down on the table, Mi Xue awkwardly picked up the bowl of porridge and began eating with her head lowered, a glint in her eyes.

Compared to her anxiety, he was as graceful as a prince.

"I'm done eating!"

Suddenly, Mi Xue put down the bowl. Before Lin Muhan could react, she had already ran up the stairs.

was caught off guard.

His gaze gradually turned cold, and the atmosphere became awkward.

In a moment, Lin Muhan put down the spoon, looked at the stairs, and dialed a number.

"Uncle Fu, where's grandpa?" The call connected. It was from the old house.

Not long after, the old man's voice came over the phone, "Brat, you finally remembered me."

"Grandfather, your birthday is coming up. Let's celebrate it this year." Lin Muhan smiled and said to the phone.

"No!" The old man refused without a second thought.

The Lin Family belonged to the Wealthy and Prominent Class. If they really were to celebrate, the scene would definitely not be underestimated.

The old tutor never planned to have his birthday each year. In order to avoid having a family reunion outside of the country, some people would take the opportunity to get close to him.

In the past, Lin Muhan had also approved of this method, so after the old man rejected, he could not help but ask curiously, "Why do you want to celebrate for me this year?"

"Grandfather, do you want to hug your grandson?" Lin Muhan suddenly asked.

After confirming that it was his own grandson, he loudly yelled into the phone, "Let me tell you, other than Xuexue's stomach, I don't recognize any other women, don't even think about marrying with a child. Our Lin Family doesn't accept this kind of woman who got pregnant before us, I …"

"Grandfather, what are you talking about?" Lin Muhan never thought that the old man would have such a reaction.

Humph!

The old man coldly snorted, "Don't think that I don't know about your playthings!"

"Grandfather!" The more Lin Muhan heard, the more embarrassed he felt, and he immediately interrupted him, "I definitely won't let my child's name be unreasonable!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, implying that this grandson was born of Michelle.

Carrying a grandson!

The old man suddenly became excited, "You said Xue Xue Xue is pregnant?"

"..."

Lin Muhan was helpless, he felt that he was about to lose control of the old man. He moved the phone away a little, not listening to the joy that could be heard from the other side of the phone.

"Not yet." Lin Muhan finally could not hold back and spoke the truth.

Swish!

The incessant warnings and excited words instantly disappeared, "Why would I be happy if I didn't have you talking about this? My old man is just teasing me."

"I'm asking if you want to carry your grandson!"

"Isn't that nonsense? "Of course I want to!" The old man was so anxious that he was stamping his feet.

"Then listen to me. We'll celebrate your birthday this year." Lin Muhan said resolutely.

Although the old man still had his doubts, in the end, he could not resist the huge temptation of agreeing to Lin Muhan's request.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Muhan looked up the stairs, and the smile on his face continued to grow.

Upstairs, Mi Xue sneezed. She frowned, knowing that Lin Muhan was definitely scolding her again.

But so what? Right now, she just wanted a divorce. The more he hated her, the more likely he was to get a divorce, so it didn't matter if he scolded her.

Ring, ring, ring!

Lin Muhan's phone rang, causing her to be slightly stunned. This arrangement only rang once a week.

When she saw that it was a call from the old house, Michelle quickly picked up. "Hello, grandpa."

"Snow, it's been a while since you've come to see grandpa. Have you forgotten about me?" The old man on the other end of the phone said with a smile.

"No, I was waiting to see you on your birthday." Michelle immediately cleared her mind.

"I called you today to say it was a birthday." The old man suddenly became serious, "I want to celebrate this year, I've already asked the butler to prepare. When the time comes, you will come with Muhan."

Hearing this, Michelle was suddenly stunned.

This was completely different from what she had expected. Every year, the old man would go overseas for his birthday and the whole family would gather together. However, Lin Muhan would usually get wrapped up in official business and return alone after a day.

"Snow, don't you agree?" Seeing that Mi Xue didn't reply, the old man couldn't help but ask.

"No, no." Michelle quickly denied it. "I just feel a little rushed, but I haven't celebrated properly every year. It really should be lively."

"Haha, I think so too, then come back with Muhan earlier." The old tutor seemed to be in a great mood.

Mi Xue agreed softly and chattered on for a while longer before hanging up. Her mind was still troubled as to why the Old Master would suddenly make such a big fuss over the matters of the Birthday Dinner.

Ding!

Her cell phone vibrated. She casually picked it up and took a look.

"Do you want a divorce?"

The message was simple, it was just a few words, but Michelle was stunned. She stared at the message, not knowing how to reply.

"I'll wait for you at the same place. We'll talk!"

While she was still in a daze, another message was sent over. Mi Xue wanted to ignore it, but her heart was in turmoil.

— —

Left Bank Coffee Shop, the place described in Gu Licheng's message.

When Michelle arrived, he was already seated at the window seat. He paused for a moment, even his seat was the same as before.

Seemingly to recall his memories from the past, Gu Licheng was no longer dressed neatly but was instead wearing a round-collared T-shirt and casual pants. His hair was not overly combed, and he looked just like a student.

At that time, time was peaceful.

Michelle was stunned for a moment and quickly understood what was going on.

He walked over indifferently and sat in front of Gu Licheng. The waiter immediately brought her the usual coffee that she had ordered, and Gu Licheng skillfully gave her some milk and three spoonfuls of sugar. Only then did he happily push the coffee in front of her.

"Sorry, I don't want coffee." Mi Xue looked at Gu Licheng apologetically and said politely to the waiter, "Give me a cup of orange juice."

The attendant was startled, and met Gu Licheng's slightly embarrassed face.

"Didn't you always like this coffee?" Gu Licheng covered his surprise, his tone revealing his puzzlement, "You said that only this place is suitable for your taste."

Michelle quietly pushed her coffee cup to the side and said with a faint smile, "It's been so many years, I'm no longer the me I was before. Some of my habits have also changed."

The smile on Gu Licheng's face that was not restrained froze. The attendant replied softly and left tactfully.

Mi Xue sat down quietly, her heart was tangled, but she pretended to be calm, "Li Cheng, why did you need me here in such a hurry?"

"You didn't eat sour food before." Gu Licheng seemed to be immersed in the past, unable to extricate himself.

Michelle looked at the man in front of her. Her handsome face was now as silent as when she had been wounded. Her expression was extremely dejected.

Suddenly, she couldn't bear it anymore.

During the most difficult times, Gu Licheng would always accompany her. When Lin Muhan was facing an economic crisis, she would say a few words, but he ignored everyone's objections and lent her a huge sum of money without a second word.

"Li Cheng..."

"Do you want a divorce?" Gu Licheng interrupted her words.

He had to face what he had to face.

Michelle knew that he must have known something about the question, or else he would not have asked her so carelessly.

Mi Xue nodded slightly as she raised her eyes to look at him.

Hearing this news, Gu Licheng's frustration was swept away, and his eyes seemed to light up. He grabbed Mi Xue's hand, and said excitedly, "Mi Xue, there are some words that have been buried in my heart for many years, I …"

"Li Cheng, we are good friends for many years." Michelle retracted her hand without a trace.

In the end, what she feared the most had happened.

When she saw Gu Licheng's short message today, she had this kind of bad premonition and came here with all sorts of hints.

In this place, she did not have many friends, and Gu Licheng was one of the few that did not exist. She did not want to see the two of them not being able to be friends because of this matter.

"Li Cheng, my only thought right now is to get a divorce. I don't want to think about anything else!" Mi Xue expressed her thoughts in a euphemistic manner.

It was just that the current Gu Licheng was too engrossed with what she said about getting a divorce, and did not notice Mi Xue's attitude at all.

"Michelle, let me finish!" Gu Licheng's face was filled with determination, not giving himself a chance to escape.

Mi Xue stood up and looked at Gu Licheng, "You're a little too agitated today, it's not suitable for a proper conversation. Let's talk next time."

When he was about to turn around and leave, Gu Licheng hurriedly stood up. He knocked his feet on the table and without realizing it, grabbed Mi Xue's hand.

"Li Cheng, we..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Gu Licheng pulled her with one hand and fumbled in his pants pocket with the other, "Mi Xue, there are some words that I won't have a chance to say if I don't say them now!"

"Li Cheng, I hope you can calm down!" A trace of coldness flashed across her snow-white eyes. She really didn't like the current Gu Licheng.

"Michelle." An exquisite velvet box appeared in Gu Licheng's hands, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, and looked at Mi Xue affectionately: "I know it's a bit rude, but there are some words that have been buried in my heart for a long time!"

"I like you. I liked you from the first moment I saw you. I haven't changed in so many years. "If you are happy, I will never disturb you, but you and him are not worthy at all. I won't force you, I just want you to give me a chance to take care of you for the rest of my life. I promise …"
