Lin Muhan frowned slightly. This man was really haunted, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Mi Xue made him feel uncomfortable. He felt extremely possessive, probably only the foolish woman beside him would think that he had really given up.

"Isn't that the main character of the news? Everyone's gathered now."

"From that Gu Licheng's eyes, it can't be that the Madam President really has something to do with him, right?"

"What's wrong with this world? Why is such an outstanding man only having Madam President in his eyes? What do you want us to do?"

"..."

Whether it was his doubts or his coveting voice,'s gaze grew deeper.

On the other hand, Gu Licheng acted as if he did not hear those words. He took a step forward, reached out his hand, and Mi Xue instinctively took a step back.

If Gu Licheng were to grab her hand at this time, she would be at her wit's end, not to mention that this huge block of ice was not something that could be easily trifled with.

Seeing Mi Xue's actions, Gu Licheng's expression became dull, and a tinge of disappointment appeared on his face.

Everyone was silent, the silence making people panic.

"Li Cheng, what's the matter?" Michelle finally could not hold it in and broke the silence.

Gu Licheng's eyes flashed as he looked at Lin Muhan. He forced out a smile and said, "Mister Lin, I have something to say to Mi Xue alone!"

"Hua!"

These words stirred up quite a commotion, and all the spectators turned to look at Lin Muhan.

Such open provocation was truly rare.

Lin Muhan narrowed his eyes and sized Gu Licheng up. If not for the fact that he was Mi Xue's good friend, he wouldn't have been able to stand here if he kept challenging Gu Licheng's bottom line time and time again.

"Li Cheng, I've already said what I wanted to say. From the beginning till the end, we were only friends." Mi Xue knew that if she did not express her stance now, the people around her would definitely fly into a rage.

Gu Licheng's face revealed an expression of injury, but he still stubbornly looked at Lin Muhan.

"I want to talk to her alone!" Gu Licheng calmly said.

Mi Xue felt a tightening in her palm due to Lin Muhan's strength.

He turned his head to look at Lin Muhan, and he understood his thoughts even more clearly, and could not help but look at Gu Licheng again, "I'm sorry, Li Cheng, I'm going to work now."

"Michelle …" Gu Licheng took a step forward.

"I have a meeting in the morning." Lin Muhan looked at his watch, "You still have twenty minutes."

"Hmm?" Mi Xue did not understand what Lin Muhan meant.

When she finally regained her senses, the hand with the chilliness in it had already left. Only now did she realise that Lin Muhan had actually agreed to have a private conversation with her.

"Let's go over there." Michelle pointed to an empty space not far from the entrance of the company. It was quiet there, and everyone could see what they were doing.

Gu Licheng nodded and followed behind her.

Mi Xue had yet to speak, but Gu Licheng had already said impatiently, "Mi Xue, since our news has been hype for so long, why not take this opportunity to directly discuss it with Old Master Lin? You can also leave this whirlpool."

Michelle frowned. The outside world obviously didn't know what had happened in the house yesterday.

"Li Cheng, I can't do this." Seeing that Gu Licheng still wanted to speak, she immediately interrupted him and said, "You don't need to mention it in the future. I will think of the method myself, but it definitely won't be this."

"But …"

"Li Cheng, I made it clear last time that if leaving Lin Muhan at the cost of Grandfather's health, I absolutely would not choose." The decisiveness in Mi Xue's words injured Gu Licheng immensely, but he had also spoken his heart.

What happened to the Lin Clan this time, upon seeing the old man fainting, the taste of it was something only she herself knew.

In the vast Lin Family, the only person who was truly good to her was the old gramps. She had no mother or father right now, so she couldn't let anything happen to the old gramps. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace for the rest of her life.

Gu Licheng still wanted to say something, but Mi Xue had already prepared to leave.

"Why?" Gu Licheng could not help but ask.

Michelle looked at him, a little annoyed, but she resisted. "Because he's the only family I have in this world."

She purposely emphasized the words' family ', which Gu Licheng immediately understood.

Seeing her walk towards the company, Gu Licheng did not even have the courage to try and stop her. Looking at her back view, it was as though she had truly left this time, left from his world.

"Michelle!" Gu Licheng shouted loudly and ran to catch up.

Mi Xue stopped in her tracks as Gu Licheng came in front of her. Looking at her clear eyes, the calmness from before was broken once again.

"It's almost time to work." Michelle reminded him in a low voice.

All of his worries disappeared at this moment. Gu Licheng said somewhat excitedly, "Mi Xue, if we separate, can you give me a chance?"

Separate from him.

Upon hearing these words, Michelle didn't seem to be worried at all.

Finally, he firmly shook his head. "This relationship has consumed all of my energy. If I could leave, I just want to live the rest of my life in peace."

"But …"

"Li Cheng, I really need to go to work." Michelle didn't want to go any further.

She understood what Gu Licheng meant, but she could not reply.

Some feelings were destined from the very beginning, just like how she fell in love with Lin Muhan the moment she met him. This sort of thing had never happened before, and there were no ifs or buts.

This time, Mi Xue did not speak further. She directly swept past Gu Licheng and headed towards the company.

She was gone, taking all his hopes with her.

Only when Mi Xue disappeared from his sight did Gu Licheng leave in disappointment.

Upstairs, Lin Muhan looked out of the window, his lips forming a smile as he quickly took out his phone.

"Gu Licheng, she's mine. If you can't control your emotions, then don't think too highly of the Gu Clan!" Lin Muhan's threatening words could be heard from the phone.

Standing on the first floor, Gu Licheng raised his head and looked upwards. It turned out that he had been watching this entire time.

"If you don't love her, why don't you let her go?" Gu Licheng suppressed his voice and roared.

"If you don't love me, why are you forcing me to stay!"

With that, Lin Muhan hung up.

Gu Licheng was stunned in place, Lin Muhan just said love!

He was in love with Michelle!

This knowledge quickly spread through his mind. He soullessly retreated two steps, and the bitterness at the corner of his mouth became even stronger.

It turned out that he loved her, and he himself was only a ridiculous joke.

Suddenly, Gu Licheng laughed.

Upstairs, Lin Muhan returned to his desk, just as Secretary Lee was knocking on the door and passing the documents to Lin Muhan, "CEO, the contract with Xu has been cancelled, what do we do next?"

"According to what I told you yesterday, we must make sure that they don't have a chance to make a comeback." A cold smile spread from the corner of Lin Muhan's lips, "Also, divulge the news to the Qin family."

"The reaction from the Xu is very intense. I'm afraid that if we chase them too fast, the dogs would rush and jump off the wall." Secretary Lee couldn't help but remind him.

Lin Muhan was slightly silent and the atmosphere became heavy because he did not speak.

In the morning, Xu Meiyu still vividly remembered Mi Xue's expression. He slightly squinted his eyes and said, "She came up, right?"

Secretary Lee was startled, but quickly understood what Lin Muhan meant when he heard her pointing at Mi Xue. He nodded immediately.

"Hmm, let's see where it's suitable to travel to recently. I'll book two tickets." Lin Muhan ordered coldly.

This caused Secretary Lee to be even more shocked. One must know that he was someone who had not even gone out for his honeymoon.

"You and Madame?" Secretary Lee braced himself and asked.

"Well, she likes the sea." Lin Muhan thought back to the information that his classmates had leaked out during Mi Xue's reunion.

"Alright, I'll do it right away." Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something important, "Then what about dealing with the Xu?"

"According to the original plan." Lin Muhan did not even raise his head as he processed the documents.

Secretary Lee returned to his office, looked in the direction of Mi Xue, and then looked at the CEO's office. He finally felt a lot more comfortable, and he understood that Lin Muhan was definitely hiding this from Mi Xue, and couldn't help but want to reveal it.

"Michelle, help me record this into my file." Secretary Lee passed the documents in his hands to Mi Xue.

She was stunned for a moment when she opened it, but after a while, she quickly took a few glances. When she saw it clearly, she finally understood what Xu Meiyu had done this morning.

It turned out that Lin Muhan had already made his move against the Xu since yesterday.

Was he doing this for her?

Michelle did not know that, but her calm heart was rippling again.

When noon came, Mi Xue went to eat lunch as usual. Coincidentally, Lin Muhan came out of his office at the same time. The two of them naturally went together.

The only difference from the last time was that Lin Muhan made Mi Xue sit on his seat as he went to get food.

Mi Xue was pressed down on the chair by him. She watched his tall figure leave and felt the gazes of the people around her. It was as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

"It seems like the CEO really treats Madam very well. The news that is 80% good is also without any waves."

"Miss Meng is screwed. Before, she had always considered herself to be the CEO's first love, but now, she should wake up."

"I heard that the CEO dismissed her, but I don't know if that's true or not."

"..."

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Mi Xue then remembered that she did not see Meng Yuyan today!

Right at this moment, Lin Muhan came over with some food. Minxue took a glance at it, but she didn't see her favourite sharp pepper beef willow or cooked meat. Instead, it was a light dish.

"Your stomach isn't good to begin with, wasn't the lesson I taught you last time not enough?" Lin Muhan saw through her thoughts with a glance.

Actually, Michelle didn't really like spicy dishes. It was just that the two dishes in the cafeteria suited her taste.

He stuck out his tongue, took the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and started cooking.

After eating a few bites, she remembered the discussions she heard just now. She raised her head and looked towards Lin Muhan, wondering if she should speak.

"Ask directly if you have any questions." Lin Muhan said softly.

Mi Xue was even more unconvinced. This man had clearly not raised his head, so how could he know that she was looking at him?

"I didn't see Miss Meng today, you..." Michelle was still unable to hide the problem in the end.
