"Then I'll wait for you after work." Meng Yuyan said happily.

Lin Muhan did not refute him anymore. After Meng Yuyan left with tears of joy, he once again fell into deep thought.

"Are you really in love with her?" Lin Muhan asked himself in a low voice.

This question obviously made him furious. He took out a cigarette from the drawer and quickly walked to the window. He lit up the cigarette and looked forward with a profound gaze.

The tip of Lin Muhan's cigarette was flickering. He held it between his fingers but didn't smoke it.

In the end, he pressed down on the cigarette and extinguished it.

He'd only wanted to appease the old tutor, because he wasn't willing to give up on that twenty percent share! Lin Muhan found a perfect excuse to convince himself.

Outside, Meng Yuyan's heart was unable to calm down for even a moment.

Today, Lin Muhan's attitude was even clearer than ever. He still agreed, but only because he took into consideration his old friendship. Next time, Meng Yuyan didn't dare to think about it.

All of this was because of Michelle!

After blaming all the mistakes on Mi Xue, she thought that Mi Xue and Lin Muhan had to be divorced early.

Thinking about it here, there was only one person that appeared in his mind — — Gu Licheng.

He hastily requested leave from Secretary Lee and quickly left the company.

Meng Yuyan did not immediately return to the Meng Family. Instead, she headed towards the Gu Family.

Knocking on the door of Gu Licheng's office, Meng Yuyan charmingly walked in and said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, sorry to bother you."

"What are you doing here!" Gu Licheng looked at her in displeasure, then roared out the door, "Secretary Xu!"

A pretty girl around twenty years old with her hair tied up walked in. After looking at Meng Yuyan, she said apologetically, "Boss Gu, this lady said that she's your friend. Her surname is Mi."

Gu Licheng looked at Meng Yuyan, waved for the secretary to go out, and Meng Yuyan sat down opposite of him, ignoring his unwelcome.

"Mr. Gu, it looks like you have already forgotten about the Miss Mi who is still living in deep water and in extreme pain." Meng Yuyan smiled faintly.

Gu Licheng raised his head, the hand under the desk tightly gripped.

When had he ever forgotten!?

Not only did he not forget the increasing number of thoughts of getting Michelle to divorce, but the truth was that he could not help at all.

Seeing the anger on the man's face, Meng Yuyan knew that coming here was the right decision. She smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so angry.

"Women always have their own opinions, and she was also afraid that Lin Muhan would deal with you, which was why she kept rejecting you." Meng Yuyan's smile became even more brilliant, and she couldn't help but wrap a strand of hair beside her ear.

Gu Licheng's pupils shrank slightly as he recalled the situation from before. Mi Xue was indeed subconsciously protecting him.

Thinking of this, he wanted her to escape from the sea of suffering even more urgently.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Meng Yuyan took out a bag of powder from her bag, "This powder should be able to help you solve your problem."

Gu Licheng picked up the bag of medicinal powder, looked at the explanation on it, and his face became gloomy: "Miss Meng, what is the meaning of this?"

"I think with Mr. Gu's intelligence, you should have already guessed what I mean." Meng Yuyan did not try to conceal her intentions, but laughed, "This thing will only make people unconscious for a short period of time, it will not harm their body."

In an instant, the bag of medicinal powder in his hand seemed to weigh at least a thousand pounds.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Meng Yuyan stood up, "Today is my mother's birthday, the Gu family and Meng also have some business dealings with each other, I hope that Mr. Gu can attend!"

Meng Yuyan then took out an invitation from her bag that she had prepared earlier, "I won't disturb Mr. Gu from working anymore, see you later!"

With that, Meng Yuyan turned and left.

Gu Licheng's gaze was still fixated on the bag of medicinal powder. Although Meng Yuyan did not point it out, he still understood what she meant. However, by doing this, he and Michelle might really have no other way out.

Even though he knew that Meng Yuyan was a trap, Gu Licheng realized that he could not reject it right away.

The corner of his mouth raised into a bitter smile. Gu Licheng knew that Mi Xue was the calamity of his life.

After putting the powder back in the drawer, Gu Licheng tried to calm himself down.

In his mind, the figure that he hadn't seen for a few days couldn't help but pop up again, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Michelle!" Gu Licheng suppressed his low shout.

The next second, he quickly picked up his phone and dialed that familiar number. He patiently waited for that familiar voice to ring.

"Hey, Li Cheng." Michelle's clear and melodious voice immediately dissipated all his worries.

"Mi Xue, Huang Lin and Li Liang mentioned that we should gather for afternoon tea. Do you have time?" Gu Licheng casually made up a reason.

"Sure, I'm free now. Where are you? I'll be right over." Michelle agreed easily.

After asking Mi Xue where she was at, Gu Licheng specifically told her to find a coffee shop at the center and immediately put down what he was doing, walking out of the office quickly.

Arriving at the coffee shop, he was about to order Michelle's favorite coffee, but he hesitated as he thought about what happened last time, and eventually gave up.

As Michelle had said, people's preferences changed.

She liked Lin Muhan now, so maybe she would like him in the future!

Thinking about it this way, Gu Licheng's mood seemed to be even better, especially after he thought about it that Mi Xue appeared.

"Li Cheng, what about them?" Michelle frowned and asked.

"These two guys said they're going to the movies. Let's go over first. Should we go over too?" Gu Licheng asked.

"No need!" Michelle refused without thinking.

What a joke, watching a movie was something that a couple would do.

The two of them sat down, and Michelle ordered a glass of food. They chatted until Michelle took out her cell phone and looked at the time. Then she frowned and said, "It's getting late, I should go back now."

"Michelle." Gu Licheng wanted to find an excuse, but he didn't know what to say.

"I need to go to the bathroom first." Michelle said with a smile.

Gu Licheng nodded, looking at her leaving figure, the hesitation in his heart grew deeper.

Ring, ring, ring!

The ringing of the cell phone on the table broke his train of thought. It was none other than Michelle's cell phone. He couldn't help but reach out to take it. When he saw the message "Demon", his heart ached.

What kind of life did Michelle have? She married a demon.

He quickly connected to the phone after hearing that word.

"Where?"

It was just two simple words, and it was emitting limitless pressure. Even on the other end of the phone, he could feel Lin Muhan's cold terror.

She really should leave that demon's lair as soon as possible!

Thinking about it this way, Gu Licheng became even more determined.

"Coffee shop!" He tried to reply calmly.

There was a short silence on the other end of the phone, while Gu Licheng did not reply, and only waited quietly.

"Du du du!"

After hanging up, Gu Licheng's lips revealed a smile that belonged to the victor. The smile froze on his face when he saw the person standing at the table.

Unknowingly, Mi Xue had already returned, it was just that Gu Licheng was too excited just now and did not notice this.

"You, I …" Gu Licheng didn't know how to explain why his phone was in his hand, it was extremely awkward.

Mi Xue took the phone coldly and looked at Gu Licheng with an even more serious expression.

"I'm sorry!"

In the end, Gu Licheng was still unable to match up to Mi Xue, and apologised with his head lowered, unwilling to give up.

"Li Cheng, I have always treated you as a good friend of mine. I also know that you have always been a person who has the integrity to do things, but I never would have thought that …" Mi Xue did not say anything else, but Gu Licheng was already embarrassed.

Just now, when he saw the two words "Demon", he instantly lost all reason. He also lost his previous upbringing and directly connected the call.

This was especially the case when he was being watched by Michelle. He felt even more embarrassed.

The atmosphere was subtle, no one spoke a word.

"It's him!"

After a long while, Gu Licheng finally mustered up his courage and said, "Mi Xue, why do you still want to stay by his side if you think he's a demon yourself? You can leave as long as …"

"I don't want to repeat what I've said before!" Michelle interrupted him without any hesitation.

Seeing Gu Licheng's expression, she had already guessed that the one who had called was Lin Muhan, and knew what he was going to say next.

She didn't want to hear it, and she didn't want to hear it!

He picked up his bag and stood up. "I think we shouldn't meet alone next time."

These words were like a bolt of lightning, blasting Gu Licheng out of his seat. When he finally reacted, Mi Xue had already left her seat.

Without thinking, he walked over and grabbed Mi Xue's hand. "Mi Xue, listen to my explanation. I just wanted you to leave that demon's lair!"

"Let go!" Michelle's face was dark.

Due to Gu Licheng being a friend that had always been by her side, she did not say heavy words.

One must know that what she hated the most was others looking at her privacy. Back then, Lin Muhan did not hesitate to get her to be investigated thoroughly, and this had always been a barrier in her heart.

And today, Gu Licheng did the same.

She didn't want to say more, she was just afraid that she would explode. In the future, she wouldn't even be able to be a friend!

It was clear that Gu Licheng did not think that way. In his opinion, letting Mi Xue leave without giving a clear explanation would truly hinder them in the future.

"Xuexue, I really didn't do it on purpose. I was just blinded by anger, I …"

Before Gu Licheng could finish his words, Mi Xue had already forcefully pulled her hand away.

Looking at the determined back, Gu Licheng's heart felt empty, he could not let her go like this, he had to save her!

Thinking this way, he didn't linger any longer and quickly chased after her. At the entrance, he stopped Michelle who was about to take a taxi away. He held her hand tightly and said, "Snowy, listen to my explanation!"

"There's nothing to explain. I think you need to calm down, and so do I." Michelle's eyes were calm.

This kind of calmness also stimulated Gu Licheng.

"Why didn't you just leave that demon!" Gu Licheng lost his reason and shouted.

Right at this moment, Mi Xue felt a chill on her back. In the next second, Gu Licheng was struck by a fist, and his face was covered with his hands as he staggered two steps back.
