The tips of his fingers were warm and the strange waves were flowing.

Mi Xue's face flushed red, but Lin Muhan still unintentionally said, "Grandfather, it's your turn!"

Seeing that the outcome had already been decided, and that Lin Muhan's son had managed to reverse the situation, the old man's expression became gloomy.

"It's not grandpa that you said I have to take care of her." Lin Muhan asked.

"..." The old man was speechless. He put down the chess piece in his hand, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest. Pregnant women should rest early."

"Grandfather, actually, I didn't …"

"It's time to rest." Lin Muhan snatched back Mi Xue's words again.

The old man slightly frowned, "Let's go, let's go, Xue Xue, we'll go next time."

Seeing Lin Muhan's determined look, even if Mi Xue wanted to clarify, she had no choice but to nod her head.

When the two of them left, the old man couldn't help but nod as he looked at their backs.

However, she did not know that right after the door closed, Mi Xue turned her head and looked at Lin Muhan as she softly said, "Is it really okay for us to lie to grandfather like this? The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"We've worked so hard these past few days, is there still no hope?" Lin Muhan whispered into her ear.

Upon hearing this, Michelle's face was burning, and even her earlobes had turned completely red.

Looking at this cute little face, Lin Muhan's smile became even wider. It went straight to the eyes, coming back was indeed the best choice.

Thinking about today's banquet at the Meng Family, Lin Muhan's eyes that were as deep as an ancient pond flashed with a strange light.

There were some things that needed to be resolved.

He looked at the woman beside him. Although her face was full of smiles, there was still a hint of sadness between her brows.

"Still not going to tell me what's bothering you?" When they reached the room, Lin Muhan hesitated for a long time, but in the end he could not resist and opened his mouth.

Michelle was confused. Should she really tell him about this?

If he had just asked casually, Michelle would not be so conflicted. He had asked this question many times already, did it mean that he was concerned about her?

His heart couldn't help but waver.

But in the end, she caught hold of a thread of reason and smiled to Lin Muhan while shaking her head, "It's no big deal, I can settle it."

"You should learn to rely on me." The light in Lin Muhan's eyes softened.

This kind of expression caused Michelle to sink deep into her thoughts. However, it only lasted for a split-second before she said with certainty, "Alright. I'll definitely turn to you for help when I really can't deal with it."

Saying this was just an excuse.

Lin Muhan originally wanted to say something like "Women are too stubborn and not cute", but he was stopped by those words in the end.

Under the night sky, everything was quiet.

When the morning sun rose, all the disputes once again surfaced.

Lin Muhan was woken up by the call, and Mi Xue also opened her eyes due to the rapid and sharp ringing sound. It was just that she still wanted to stay in bed, so she turned around and covered her ears, pretending not to hear it.

Seeing her cute sleepy look, the corner of Lin Muhan's mouth rose.

It suddenly occurred to him that it would be nice to see her this morning, except, of course, for that annoying ringtone.

"Hey!" Lin Muhan picked up the phone with an unfriendly tone, as though ice was being transferred to his phone.

"CEO, this is bad. Yesterday, when you went to the Meng Family, the news was found by the media. Moreover, it was reported everywhere!" Secretary Lee said anxiously on the other end of the phone, "The reporter knows that you are at the Old Residence, and will probably go find the news. You need to be mentally prepared!"

This statement broke the happy mood of the day. He got up from the bed, walked to the window and looked at the door.

Sure enough, some people with microphones were standing at the entrance of the old residence.

He frowned slightly. "Who leaked it?"

"It should be the Meng Clan!"

Lin Muhan had already thought of this answer long ago. He only wanted to confirm, but when he heard the words "Meng Clan", his lips curled up, and a cold smile appeared on his face without any hesitation.

"I know." Lin Muhan coldly replied with a dull tone, making others unable to tell what he was thinking.

On the contrary, it was Secretary Lee who found it difficult, he paused for a moment and asked, "CEO, what do we do now, do I want to seal the news, and restrict the spread of news?"

"No need!" Lin Muhan rejected him immediately.

"But, about the lordmaster …"

"I'll handle this matter. You go back to the company first, I think we'll be a bit late." Lin Muhan turned his head to look at Mi Xue who was still lying on the bed.

She didn't seem to have any worries in her dreams. She slept peacefully, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She didn't want to break the beauty of this moment.

After hanging up, he quickly went downstairs. The old man was already waiting angrily in the hall, while the other aunts and uncles were all enjoying the show.

Xu Meiyu even praised Meng Yuyan in her heart. This move was really too great.

"Come here, let's see what's going on!" The old man slapped the newspaper on the table and glared at Lin Muhan.

"Grandfather, why are you so angry this early in the morning?" Lin Muhan leisurely walked over, picked up the newspaper on the table, and looked at the eye-catching title — [Lin Muhan and his first lover, Meng Yuyan, might have complex feelings, and the Lin Family's Young Lady's position could change hands]!

The next part was an emotional description of Lin Muhan being able to enjoy the Meng Family's birthday banquet, but because he had noticed the media, he left. Some even guessed that at the door, Lin Muhan and Gu Licheng had left sulkily because of Meng Yuyan's disagreement.

Putting down the newspaper, Lin Muhan smiled lightly: "It's just a piece of news, the media likes to catch the wind and catch the shadows."

"If you don't have that kind of mindset, then it would be difficult for him to catch up even if he wanted to." The old man was furious, and looking at how unconcerned he was, he started to pant even more, "Let me tell you, if you want to let that Meng Yuyan in, I won't agree first!"

"I don't agree either." Lin Muhan laughed.

This made the old man not know how to respond. Right at this moment, Mi Xue, who had finished putting on her clothes, came down the stairs.

Seeing that everyone was looking ready, he immediately said awkwardly, "Sorry, I seemed to have woken up too late, but what happened?"

"No, nothing!"

When the old man, who had been roaring loudly, heard her words, she immediately smiled and said, "Pregnant women are lethargic."

She then hinted at Lin Muhan with her eyes and quickly cleaned up the newspapers.

Michelle frowned and wanted to explain, but she knew it was impossible. She walked over to the table and asked, "What big day is it today?"

Seeing that she was fine, Xu Meiyu became angry. She stood up and said, "Mi Xue, you still don't know, last night when Muhan went to the Meng Family's birthday banquet, he was filmed with Meng Yuyan …."

As she spoke, she intentionally looked at the old tutor. She didn't finish the sentence, but it made one's imagination run wild.

Mi Xue was startled, she did not expect that she was going to Birthday Dinner with Meng Yuyan last night.

"I knew it." In front of Xu Meiyu, she still had to try her best to maintain the face of Lin Muhan and herself.

"You know?" Not just Xu Meiyu, even the old man was shocked.

"Yeah." Mi Xue walked to Lin Muhan's side and said with a smile, "He asked me yesterday if I wanted to go with him. I didn't agree."

"This …" Xu Meiyu could not figure it out.

"Muhan is news everywhere he goes, not to mention that Miss Meng's identity is awkward, so she would naturally cause others to indulge in wild thoughts. Grandfather, you don't have to take it to heart." Michelle comforted the old man.

Her generous and empathetic appearance made the old man nod in praise, "Yes, it's all gossip!"

Lin Muhan did not expect her to be so generous, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

He sounded like he was being generous, but he didn't sound like he was being relaxed at all!

"Although this is news, we should at least clarify it. Otherwise, this misunderstanding will only get deeper and deeper!" The old man looked at Lin Muhan, the meaning in his eyes clear.

"Yes, grandfather, I know what to do." Lin Muhan readily agreed.

The old man opened his mouth, he thought that Lin Muhan would reject him, but he did not expect to agree without even thinking, this did not make sense.

He looked outside the door. Did the sun rise from the west today?

Lin Muhan brought Mi Xue along, and caressed her stomach which was not showing much, "It's been a long time, I should be bringing you to check it out."

"No, there's no need …" Michelle was embarrassed.

Others didn't know the truth, but didn't he know? Ye Zichen glared at him in annoyance, while feeling annoyed in his heart.

"I just happened to be free today. You go pack first, I'm going to drive." Lin Muhan laughed, the gentleness in his eyes was like honey, it was oily enough to make people panic.

Mi Xue ran off as though she was escaping. Lin Muhan's smile disappeared as he glanced at the crowd.

He went to the garage to get the car, then walked to the door.

When the reporters saw this, they all rushed forward.

"Lin Shao, may I ask if there is a problem with your marriage? When were you and Miss Meng together?"

"President lin, when are you planning to divorce the Miss Mi?"

"Lin Shao, are you and Miss Meng reunited?"

"Yesterday, were you and Young Master Gu unhappy because of Miss Meng? Lin Shao, please answer my question."

"..."

Lin Muhan gave a rare smile and easily answered the question, "Miss Meng and I are just ordinary friends, the Lin Family and the Meng Family have business dealings with each other, that's why I was invited to attend."

"Then what are you afraid of if you don't enter after arriving?" The reporter followed up with an inquiry.

"Nope." Lin Muhan looked at the crowd. "I'll say it again, Miss Meng and I don't have any special relationship, so please don't ruin my family. As for your concerns regarding my departure, I am here to answer them all. That is because my wife, Mi Xue, is not feeling well. "

This reply shut everyone's mouths.

What they wanted to stir up was that Lin Muhan had abandoned Mi Xue and had returned to Meng Yuyan's side. However, he had clearly stated this matter in a few words.

"Where is the Miss Mi unwell?"

After a short period of silence, the scene returned to normal.

Lin Muhan did not answer, only that the smile on his face became wider, and he spoke to the rest apologetically, "This is temporarily a secret."
