Qu Yiming looked at Mi Xue's expression and smiled faintly.

Today, he had already achieved his goal. At least, he had a thought in Michelle's mind that would slowly sprout if she reminded him from time to time.

Reminder, sometimes can not be too obvious, can only be gradual.

He only gave a slight nod, then left the cemetery.

Michelle was the only person left in the huge cemetery. She leaned back quietly, not because she liked this place too much but because this was her last refuge in her spirit.

She seemed to have nowhere else to go in the world.

In her mind, she couldn't help but think of that man who looked seventy to eighty percent like her. She wondered if that man had something to do with her.

"Mom, do I have a brother or brother?" Michelle could not help but ask.

The answer was still silence.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence. Mi Xue turned her head slightly, and saw two familiar figures standing not far away. The two of them were pulling on each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Why were they here?

Gu Licheng and Lin Muhan got out of the car and rushed over. When they saw Mi Xue right here, they made their best efforts.

When Michelle looked over, their movements suddenly stopped.

Her gaze stayed on Lin Muhan for a long time. His clothes were not as neat as usual, his hair was a mess, his eyes had a tinge of green in them, and the stubble on his chin had already appeared.

This type of decadence was rarely seen, but Michelle felt that it was a different kind of handsomeness.

Heh!

This was what a lover should do. Unfortunately, she loved him, but the one he loved wasn't her!

The tears that had been restrained with great difficulty slowly spread out, and the sorrow in his eyes continued to spread. Even the two men who were still fighting in the dark noticed that something was amiss.

Gu Licheng's heart sank to the bottom. He understood her and knew everything about her, but her gaze had never stopped on him.

He lost ….

Suddenly, he let go.

Lin Muhan slowly walked to Mi Xue's side. His cold eyes did not reveal any emotion as he said, "Go back."

"I want to stay a little longer." Michelle said softly.

"Yesterday..."

"I'm fine." She couldn't help but interrupt.

She did not know what she was afraid of, but she was clear that she did not want to continue with this topic at this moment. Perhaps, she wanted to preserve one last bit of dignity in front of Gu Licheng.

Gu Licheng stood behind him and listened to their conversation, his heart felt like it was being cut by knives.

He could not help but step forward. "Michelle, come with me."

Mi Xue looked up and shook her head slightly. "I'm fine, I'm just missing my parents. Li Cheng, you go back first."

"How can I leave without having to worry about you?" Gu Licheng ignored the thousand-year-old ice mountain beside him, and mustered up his courage to speak again.

"I'm really fine, what's going on with all of you?" Michelle forced a smile.

She stood up from the ground. She had been sitting there for too long, and her legs were numb. Her body leaned to the side and a strong hand quickly supported her from her waist. She fell into a slightly cold embrace.

She had looked forward to this hug so much in the past.

Although the temperature was low, as long as she leaned on his side, she would feel warmth. However, at this moment, she only felt ridicule and wished she could immediately escape.

This hug had never belonged to her!

"Li Cheng, you go first." Mi Xue looked at Gu Licheng with an even more determined gaze.

At the start, Gu Licheng thought that he had a chance, but now, it seemed that it was just a joke.

He glanced at Lin Muhan, his killing intent spreading far and wide.

She turned around and left without any hesitation. Mi Xue only broke free from Lin Muhan's embrace when he was far away.

"You should leave as well." Mi Xue's voice carried a tone of distance between Leng Cen and Leng Cen.

Lin Muhan frowned slightly, and could not help but mutter in a low voice, "Yesterday, the reason I allowed Xu Yansheng to go over was only because …"

"Is it because Meng Yuyan is right?" Mi Xue said indifferently, and even smiled at Lin Muhan.

She had never thought that she would be able to say it so naturally.

Lin Muhan did not deny it. Yesterday, it was indeed because of Meng Yuyan but this little woman seemed to have misunderstood.

"Yesterday, she wasn't feeling well." Lin Muhan wanted to explain, but the words that came to his mouth seemed to have a different flavor.

Michelle smiled.

However, such a smile set off the gloomy and depressing sky, giving off an indescribable feeling of desolation.

Because Meng Yuyan was not feeling well, he abandoned her.

He didn't know that yesterday, she was almost …

Mi Xue only felt that it was funny, and the last sliver of hope in her heart had already been wiped clean. She flung Lin Muhan's hand away and left with large strides.

Lin Muhan looked at the bunch of white and yellow chrysanthemums placed in front of the tombstone. A peculiar look flashed past his eyes and in an instant, he caught up to Mi Xue.

Outside the cemetery, Gu Licheng had already left, driving the car and waiting outside.

Lin Muhan opened the door of the back seat, but Mi Xue directly opened the door of the passenger seat and sat inside.

Secretary Lee felt a cold sweat trickling down his back.

"Ma'am, why don't you sit in the back?" He braced himself.

However, Mi Xue didn't seem to hear her. Lin Muhan sat in the back seat with a gloomy face and cold light shone from his eyes. It showed that he was very unhappy at the moment.

Through the rearview mirror, Secretary Lee could see everything clearly. He did not want to be cannon fodder and did not dare to say a single word.

"Drive!" Lin Muhan's cold voice came out.

Only then did Secretary Lee quickly start the car, and without understanding the situation, he drove directly to his apartment.

The moment the car stopped, Michelle quickly opened the door.

But she did not expect Lin Muhan to move so quickly. Just as she was about to go towards the elevator, he grabbed her with his long arms and hugged her tightly.

"Let me go!" Michelle shouted.

"I'm not letting go!"

"What are you doing!"

"You!"

Mi Xue suddenly felt wronged. Why was this man here to provoke her, a chess piece, when she had just had a first love affair with her?

Didn't he know that even chess pieces could be sad or sad?

Lin Muhan stretched out his hands to express his emotions, and his fists rained down on Lin Muhan's chest like rain. Lin Muhan did not say a single word, but only hugged her, carefully protecting her, and allowed her to hit him.

"Secretary Lee, you handle the company's matters. I'm not going there today because I have something on!"

After a long while, these low and calm words reached Secretary Lee's ears. He heaved a sigh of relief, and discovered that his palm was completely drenched with cold sweat.

Lin Muhan carried Mi Xue back to his apartment. Looking at the miserable Mi Xue who was crying in her arms, a trace of pain flashed past her eyes.

It was said that women were made of water, but now he had a deeper understanding of it.

Holding her in his arms, he carefully wiped his tears away with a tissue. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, he could not help but blame himself when he thought that this was the most painful time for her to cry.

In the past, no matter how he tortured her, she always had a stubborn look on her face, causing him to want to see her give in even more.

Now that she was crying her heart out, he finally understood how painful it was.

"Michelle, let me explain." Lin Muhan tried to communicate with her, but discovered that it was impossible.

She wouldn't listen at all.

And tears and snot all over his clothes.

He didn't know why, but he didn't dislike her at the moment. He was just afraid that this woman wouldn't be able to take it if she continued to cry.

"Stop crying!" Lin Muhan suddenly raised his voice.

Mi Xue's sobs were infected as Lin Muhan heaved a sigh of relief.

He was just about to speak when Mi Xue started crying loudly. Her hand started to beat him again and even shouted loudly, "Lin Muhan, why did you treat me like this?! Since I'm a pawn now, why aren't you letting me go?!"

From her wailing words, he finally caught the main point.

Chess pieces?

A touch of Leng Cen appeared in the depths of his eyes, but when it was directed towards Mi Xue, it changed into gentleness. He reached out his hands, embraced her in his arms, and gently caressed her hair and back.

"You've never been a pawn." Lin Muhan said softly and lovingly, regardless of whether she could hear or not.

Mi Xue buried her head in Lin Muhan's embrace and cried loudly, as if she didn't hear what Lin Muhan had said.

Lin Muhan sighed lightly, "In my opinion, you are unique. Mi Xue, you have never been my chess piece!"

"Why am I not? Aren't you just using me …"

Mi Xue was about to retort with all her might, but she quickly reacted. She raised her head and looked at Lin Muhan in disbelief, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed, "What did you just say?"

"I said hurry up and wash your face." Lin Muhan's expression was still the same as before, but his tone did not contain the slightest of impatience.

"You're saying that I'm not a chess piece?" Michelle asked.

She didn't know what she was expecting. She just wanted to know the answer from him, even if it was a lie.

"No!" Lin Muhan shook his head very seriously, as he even reached out to caress her head, "Yesterday, I really had to go through some difficult circumstances and didn't want to leave you be."

"What difficulties?" Michelle asked.

The light in Lin Muhan's eyes became serene and deep as he turned his head to look outside the window.

Michelle's heart sank again. In the end, her thoughts were too good.

"Hurry up and wash your face." After pondering for a long time, Lin Muhan finally shouted.

initially, Mi Xue was still a little happy, but she quickly sank back down again.

Seeing her deep in thought again, Lin Muhan sighed softly and allowed her to immerse herself in her own world. Instead, she turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Mi Xue's gaze followed closely behind. Why were he and Meng Yuyan doing this?

If it doesn't matter, why not explain?

If so, what was going on now?

Chaos, her brain was like a lump of hemp, causing her to be unable to find any clues.

Lin Muhan took out a warm towel and carefully wiped her face clean before whispering, "There's going to be a good show for you to see later."
