"Cold!"

Michelle had thought that things would calm down after all that had happened, but she had not expected to hear a familiar voice.

He turned around and looked at Meng Yuyan's delicate face, her eyes flickering. She looked a little wronged and innocent with her hands intertwined together, staring at Mi Xue and Lin Muhan.

She was wearing a light blue dress that tied around her waist, and Michelle only felt that it was dazzling.

Light blue...

That was Lin Muhan's favorite color!

A surge of nameless fire rose from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Muhan didn't pay any attention to her, but felt the body of the woman he was embracing stiffen.

"Han, you said that you have no time to attend this banquet." Meng Yuyan lowered her voice, bringing along an obvious tremble and a slight sob.

Only then did Lin Muhan remember that Meng Yuyan had called him before and asked him to come to the banquet with him. He rejected the call immediately, but he did not expect that it would be this charity dinner. Her cold eyes fixed onto Meng Yuyan's body, taking in all her expression.

Meng Yuyan was overjoyed. Seeing that Lin Muhan's gaze was fixated on him, she showed a pitiful expression. He glanced at Michelle and could not help but feel pleased with himself.

Mi Xue withdrew her smile. Compared to Meng Yuyan, her smile was even thicker.

Laughter was a type of strength, and even more so a advantageous weapon!

"Han, you …"

"Miss Meng, now that my wife is here, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call me that?" Leng Cen appeared in his black eyes, and his words were like ice.

Meng Yuyan looked at him in disbelief. Her tears were shining brightly, as though they would fall down at any moment.

This way of holding back her tears, even Michelle felt a little pained by what she saw.

Turning her head, she looked at Leng Cen who was standing beside her, with a cold glint in her eyes, without any emotion, she did not know what pride Meng Yuyan had, maybe Lin Muhan would not love her as much as he looked!

Michelle watched the scene with the air of an onlooker, and couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Meng Yuyan treated her as her enemy, but she never realized that if a man really loved you, you wouldn't be wronged.

She only thought of this after she had woken up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin!" As Meng Yuyan spoke, she turned around and quickly left, even her back revealed a trace of sadness.

Tilting his head, Lin Muhan maintained his original posture.

His heart couldn't help but be nervous.

Did he consider her presence?

"Actually, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine." Michelle thought for a long time before speaking.

The light in Lin Muhan's eyes became deeper. Mi Xue could feel that the hands around her waist had become ice-cold, as if they were going to freeze her to death.

Did she make him angry again? She really couldn't understand what she had done wrong.

"Is this how you push your husband out, Mrs. Lin!?" Lin Muhan moved closer to Mi Xue's ear and intentionally dragged out the two words' Mrs. Lin '.

Michelle did not know how to respond. Her palms were covered in a layer of cold sweat.

"Mister Lin, the auction has begun." The banquet attendant came over to extend an invitation, resolving Mi Xue's awkwardness.

The two of them walked to the VIP area and sat down. Lin Muhan glanced at the woman beside him, "Mrs. Lin, you seem to not have answered my question yet."

"..."

He hadn't forgotten yet, and Michelle was embarrassed.

"You have never belonged to me, so how can you push things?" The corners of Michelle's lips curled up in a bitter smile.

"Heh, you know your own limits!" Smiling Leng Cen, the ice mountain suddenly appeared!

The harmonious atmosphere had disappeared in an instant. Mi Xue looked at Lin Muhan, anger flashed past her deep black eyes. She did not understand why he was so angry!

"Cold!"

The voice that disappeared a moment ago appeared once again, its eyes red and slightly swollen. It was obvious that it had been crying.

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or deliberate action, but Mi Xue sat on the right side of Lin Muhan while she sat on the left side.

Was someone looking in their direction due to the commotion?

If Lin Muhan did not stop them, the news of them would probably become the headlines tomorrow.

Michelle lowered her head slightly, no longer looking at the two men.

The first thing that came out of the auction naturally wasn't enough to attract Lin Muhan's attention. Lin Muhan didn't talk much in the first place, perhaps because he was unhappy with Mi Xue earlier, so he didn't say a single word.

In the second half, he had taken out the final item. As the bidding became more and more intense, it became increasingly lively.

"What I want to auction now is the 'Ice Snow Soul'!"

Just as the host finished speaking and before he could even introduce them, someone in the audience had already stood up in excitement.

Mi Xue's eyes lit up. Three years ago, 'Ice Snow Soul' appeared, but it was later collected by the collectors. Mi Xue liked this necklace with just one glance. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to see it again.

How could she not be excited when she didn't expect it to be auctioned in this auction?

"The starting price is three million, the increment must be at least a hundred thousand!"

When the host finished speaking, Mi Xue was instantly disappointed. Not to mention 3 million yuan, she couldn't even take out 300 yuan. Therefore, this auction definitely had nothing to do with her.

Ye Zichen sat in his seat, feeling a bit lonely, while staring at the Ice Snow's Soul that was on display.

"Like it?" Lin Muhan suddenly turned his head, his tone slightly cold.

Michelle knew her worth, just as he had said last time that the ring was a fake. How could he bear to waste it on her?

"I don't like it."

Lin Muhan smirked. Women always say the opposite of what their heart says.

"Three million five hundred thousand!"

Before he could even open his mouth, Meng Yuyan had already raised his hand up!

"6 million!" Lin Muhan followed closely behind, and raised his hand at a steady pace.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The scene was in an uproar.

Who would have thought that Lin Muhan would suddenly double the price, and that would be after Meng Yuyan.

"You …" Mi Xue was very surprised, but he couldn't help thinking that maybe he just wanted to give it to Meng Yuyan, so he kept it after saying it.

Meng Yuyan turned her head, and looked at Mi Xue complacently. She obediently placed the plate on the side, and looked at Lin Muhan with eyes full of emotion.

The atmosphere was strange. Michelle lifted her eyes, and the crowd looked at her with sympathy, regret, and the excitement of watching a good show.

"I need to go to the bathroom." Michelle stood up and walked out.

She didn't dare to look at the scene that followed. She was afraid that she would become the laughing stock of the crowd, so she could only choose to escape.

Lin Muhan sensed something and reached out to grab her hand. Her cold and fierce eyes focused on her and this made her even more heartbroken.

She ran to the door in one breath. Tomorrow, she would become the laughing stock of the entire city.

But so what? She was already a joke.

At this moment, the tears that she had endured for a long time could not help but fall down. The night wind blew and fluttered the hem of her skirt, adding to her loneliness.

From time to time, people passing by would cast curious glances at them. Michelle didn't care at all. Under the night sky, she was crying like she was about to cry.

The sadness was uncontrollable.

Michelle crouched down and cried.

This was the last time she cried for Lin Muhan, and she kept warning herself in her heart.

"What are you doing out here?" Leng Cen's voice sounded.

Michelle was about to wipe her tears away when she was suddenly grabbed by the waist.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she exclaimed.

By the time she had reacted to it, she was already in Lin Muhan's embrace. The familiar smell and wide chest made the originally sad her feel a little better.

Glimmers danced in his eyes as his mind suddenly cleared up.

She pushed at Lin Muhan with all her might, "What are you doing here?"

"If you push it any more, it'll fall to the ground." Lin Muhan did not answer, but his eyes could see the tearful face of Mi Xue, which had a hint of panic.

His words were like a warning bell. Mi Xue subconsciously grabbed onto Lin Muhan, afraid that this uncertain man would throw her down.

He had indeed lost it.

Just left it on the ground, in the car.

Before Michelle could react, he leaned forward and buckled her into her seat belt. Their bodies were only touching, and this was not the first time they were so intimate.

Lin Muhan escaped in time and returned to the driver's seat.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was strange.

Lin Muhan turned his body to look at Mi Xue. His eyes were red and swollen, his gaze dodging.

His heart couldn't help but move.

"If I don't come out, are you going to cry until you pass out?" There was a slight chill in her voice as she spoke, neither fast nor slow. Her gaze was locked onto Mi Xue.

Mi Xue raised her head and looked at Lin Muhan's black eyes that carried a sense of coldness. Very soon, she lowered her eyes and said softly, "The sand just blew into my eyes."

"Oh?" Lin Muhan dragged his words.

Michelle could not guess what he meant, so he did not continue.

He grabbed her hand, and just as she was about to retract her grip, something appeared in her palm. It was cold, clear, and shiny.

Michelle's eyes lit up and she raised her voice excitedly, "Snow's Soul!"

Mi Xue couldn't suppress the excitement in her eyes as she placed the necklace that had been with her heart for a long time. She couldn't help but raise her gaze toward the deep man. She had no idea what he was thinking at the moment.

Originally, Lin Muhan's gaze was set on Mi Xue. However, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze, when he raised his head, he saw Meng Yuyan standing not far away from the carriage.

He stood alone in the parking lot, like an abandoned toy.

Mi Xue saw the complex emotions that flashed past Lin Muhan's eyes, which then returned to clarity.

He just gave her an eye kick.

Thinking of this, his heart ached.

A warm hand reached over and took back the necklace.

He really regretted it!

Before he even had the chance to be sad, Lin Muhan had already rolled down the window and looked in Meng Yuyan's direction with a cold gaze.

A hint of excitement flashed across Meng Yuyan's face. It looked like an invitation to her to hurry up and come over.

Lin Muhan held onto the necklace, his fingers quickly moving it. When Mi Xue retracted her gaze, the necklace had already turned into a chain and a ring. Michelle's mouth was slightly agape. She had not expected the necklace to work like this.

His heart sank even more.

Lin Muhan did not give her the chance to be sad, as her slightly ice-cold ring was accurately placed on her ring finger.

Mi Xue was surprised. Meng Yuyan, who had just arrived at the carriage window had turned as pale as snow. His body was trembling slightly.

"Do not take it off again!" Lin Muhan's thin lips slightly opened, "You are even more not allowed to sell it!"

Although the words were spoken for Mi Xue to hear, her cold eyes glanced at Meng Yuyan, the warning from her was especially obvious.
