Before he could finish his emotional confession, Leng Cen's voice interrupted it.

"What can you promise?" Lin Muhan took a big step forward, as though even the surrounding wind was cold.

Mi Xue turned her head to look at Lin Muhan's cold eyes, only to discover that he was tightly locking onto Gu Licheng.

She cried out in her heart as she instinctively stood up and looked at this man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Why are you here?"

Lin Muhan did not answer, nor did he retract his gaze, he only stood there quietly and stared at Gu Licheng, looking extremely terrifying, as though he was a demon that had just returned from hell, his entire body was releasing a dangerous aura.

Michelle had only thought of his words as terrifying before, but now he realized that they were even more frightening when he wasn't talking.

She instinctively approached Lin Muhan, causing him to feel even more injured.

"Michelle, would you have fallen in love with me if it hadn't been for him!" Gu Licheng stubbornly asked.

Michelle had never considered this.

From start to finish, there was only one person hidden in the bottom of her heart, and that was Lin Muhan.

"No way!" After a moment's thought, Michelle answered without hesitation.

Gu Licheng, who could pretend to be calm just a moment ago, seemed to have lost his most precious treasure. He took a step forward, and bowed his head like a defeated rooster, and asked: "Why?"

Looking at the person in front of her who was in so much pain, Michelle felt guilty. However, she knew better. Guilt was not love.

Moreover, the coldness behind her made it clear to her that he was on the verge of erupting with rage.

"There is a saying, 'Love cannot lead!'" The corner of Mi Xue's mouth rose into a smile, as if she saw the person she loved the most, and's startled appearance, she added on, "Love isn't something that can be formed after a long time. There are some feelings that are destined to stay on the level of friendship for a lifetime."

The so-called "ten years of friendship becomes true love" was nothing more than someone who did not see their own heart clearly.

And she just so happened to understand his heart the best.

There was a brief moment of silence after Michelle finished speaking.

In the end, Gu Licheng's shoulders loosened as a ridiculing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's right, love cannot be forgiven!"

When he looked at Lin Muhan again, he seemed like a victor as he looked down at him from above.

Suddenly, Gu Licheng made a move, he clenched his fist and punched towards Lin Muhan. Mi Xue stood between the two of them, and saw that her fist was about to reach Lin Muhan, she did not think too much, and anxiously reached out to hug Lin Muhan, trying to block the fist that was caught off guard.

Lin Muhan's pupils constricted. He wrapped one hand around Mi Xue's waist, and quickly turned his body to the side. His other hand held onto the hand that was attacking Gu Licheng accurately.

With just one move, victory and defeat had been decided.

Gu Licheng looked at the petite Mi Xue Yu in Lin Muhan's arms and thought back to how she had protected Lin Muhan without any hesitation. Then, he suddenly laughed bitterly.

He didn't lose in a single move, but he lost before he even made a move!

"Hehe …"

Gu Licheng suddenly felt like a fool, throwing the velvet box into the trash can, and turning around to leave the coffee shop.

Mi Xue only turned her head to look at Leng Cen's man after she could not see his figure.

A man related to her love.

His eyes were still filled with anger, and his aura seemed to be able to freeze people solid. Michelle opened her mouth to explain, but didn't know what to say.

Lin Muhan was like an iceberg, causing people to not dare enter.

"I just came to tell him." After a long period of silence, Mi Qu was the first to lose his composure.

She looked up at the man in front of her. The lines on her face were sharp, and she seemed to be immersed in sunlight.

A man like this, whose back even emitted a trace of coldness, was now like a magnet, deeply attracting her. In those beautiful eyes, there was only her shadow.

Lin Muhan did not let go of her, he carried her and walked to the other side, his mouth suddenly revealing an intoxicating smile.

Why did he laugh?

"Your answer and actions, I am very satisfied." Lin Muhan suddenly said.

Her tone was filled with the joy he was feeling at the moment. Realizing what he was implying, Rice Snow blushed and leaned his head lightly on Lin Muhan's chest.

A shallow smile appeared on her face, full of temptation.

Lin Muhan's hand tensed up, he suddenly extended his hand, holding her chin, he bent down and covered her lips with his.

Kisses, entwined with emotions.

Before she could react, the kiss had deepened, and he was recklessly invading her territory.

Michelle was mesmerized and could not extricate herself.

To her, Lin Muhan was like a poison, while she already had the poison in her bones. There was no cure.

Suddenly, she felt a pain on her lips, and raised her head to meet Lin Muhan's evil eyes, with a hint of warning, as though she was being punished.

Mi Xue did not know when she walked out of the restaurant, but when she saw Secretary Lee and the group of people standing at the entrance, she couldn't help but want to find a hole in the ground to hide in, so much so that her ears were completely red.

"You go back to work first, I'm going back." Mi Xue stretched out her hand to push Lin Muhan away, and said with a low voice.

"Together." Lin Muhan's smile became even wider, and with a wave of his long arm, he did not give her any chance of leaving, as he embraced her and walked towards the side of the carriage.

Michelle felt her nose sour. Why was she so late for such tender feelings?

She knew she was going to run, but the warmth of her embrace was enough to make her infatuate.

Lin Muhan gave some instructions to Secretary Lee before he returned to the car with Mi Xue. They started the car and drove away.

Not far away, Gu Licheng was sitting inside a car, staring at the car's figure that was about to leave.

No matter how many times, he could only look at her back.

"Michelle!" Gu Licheng clenched his fists even tighter as the light in his eyes dimmed.

The car window was suddenly knocked, Gu Licheng turned his head, and when he saw the face, he became even more furious.

Dong, dong, dong!

The woman raised her hand and rolled up the window twice more.

Lin Muhan rolled down the window, but the lady went around the car and sat in the front passenger seat.

"Meng Yuyan, what are you doing here?" Gu Licheng did not conceal his anger at all.

Meng Yuyan smiled, she did not care about Gu Licheng's attitude at all, and continued to speak, "Is it unbearable to see their loving faces?"

"Down!" These words reminded Gu Licheng of his bloody wound.

"Why are you so angry? It's just a show." Meng Yuyan pointed to a distance, "Do you see those two sneaky people?"

It was only then that Gu Licheng noticed that there were two people wearing hats sitting at the corner of the coffee shop with a camera in their hands.

He was startled, he didn't even notice it earlier.

"Your high-profile actions just now caught the attention of the media. He and I happened to be nearby, so you should know that he sent people to follow Mi Xue. After discovering that your actions were being filmed, he reluctantly came over to show his love."

Gu Licheng's eyes swept across Meng Yuyan and saw that she had an exquisite face and was obviously meticulously dressed up. When he looked at the two puppies again, the light in his eyes turned dark.

"If he didn't love her, why would he play along with her?"

It was only after a long while that Gu Licheng coldly spat out these words. Towards Meng Yuyan, he did not have the slightest bit of good impression.

"Heh." Meng Yuyan laughed out, "I had thought that you understood her well, but to think that you would still be like that."

As soon as he said that, he felt an eye knife.

She immediately restrained the smile on her face, "You're also someone who's in the upper echelons of society, and know the importance of public opinion. Could it be that you're willing to see tomorrow's headlines saying, 'Mrs. Lin openly accepts proposals from others, and openly puts on a green hat for Lin Muhan'?"

Hearing this, Gu Licheng, who had trusted him two times, trusted him even more.

"Miss Meng, no need to waste your efforts on me. I will not become your chess piece." Gu Licheng's reply was still as cold as ever.

"How could you be my pawn?" Meng Yuyan said gently, "I prefer the word 'partner' more. Mr. Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Licheng did not reply again. His hand seemed to be holding onto the steering wheel casually, but that white knuckles sold him out.

Meng Yuyan smiled. She was very smart, she immediately understood what Gu Licheng was thinking.

"Mr. Gu, Han doesn't actually love her at all. You'll know after you investigate that the reason why we're getting married is because Han's grandfather has been forcing us to marry." Meng Yuyan sized up Gu Licheng's expression as he spoke, seeing that he did not refute him, he immediately followed up, "Actually, it's not as if we're cooperating, rather we're just separating the two who aren't suitable for each other in the first place."

"I believe that this will be a relief for Michelle as well." Meng Yuyan turned her body, waiting for Gu Licheng's reply.

The man before him slightly narrowed his eyes. A glimmer flashed through his eyes as he clenched and released his hand. Then, he clenched his fist again.

Meng Yuyan was not anxious, she knew that Gu Licheng was making his final struggle.

And the result would definitely be the same as hers.

"How do we work together?" After a long period of hesitation, Gu Licheng finally released his grip and turned to look at Meng Yuyan.

Meng Yuyan heaved a sigh of relief, the smile on her face became even wider.

"I knew Mr. Gu was someone who would take the overall situation into consideration." Meng Yuyan said softly, "Actually, Mi Xue wanted a divorce, and Han didn't agree because he wanted to take Grandfather into consideration."

For someone as smart as Gu Licheng, he already knew the way out of this situation even though Meng Yuyan had only mentioned a little.

The scene when Mi Xue said that she wanted to get a divorce appeared in his mind, along with her rejection of him. If not for Lin Muhan, would he have had a chance?

This thought kept flashing through his mind like a poisonous snake.

In the end, desire triumphs over reason.

"What do you want me to do?" Gu Licheng turned his head, his eyes slightly narrowed as a bright light shone out of them, and stared fixedly in front of him.

Meng Yuyan raised her lips, leaned close and whispered into Gu Licheng's ear, "Grandfather loves Mi Xue, as long as …"

Pulling up the distance between the two, Meng Yuyan looked at Gu Licheng's handsome face, "Grandfather is about to have his birthday, this is a good opportunity, Mr. Gu, with your intelligence, you can definitely take care of it, right?"

With that, Meng Yuyan opened the car door and got off gracefully.

In the huge carriage, Gu Licheng sat alone and thought.
