The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

A few days later, William took Logan and Mrs. Michelle to the agreed place as promised, but after waiting for a long time, Gu Mingcheng was nowhere to be seen.

Unexpectedly, the most punctual person is actually late today.

Perhaps because they were trapped in the laboratory for a long time, their faces were dull, like two withered trees, and they had lost their perception of the world around them.

Logan's eyes lost their former vitality and sharpness, as if their edge had been worn away by the burden of time.

His seemingly empty eyes were wandering, lifeless, like dusty memories in a deep sleep.

And Mrs. Michelle, whose once gentle and charming face was now eclipsed. Her haggard face is covered with traces of time, and the deep wrinkles outline bitterness and exhaustion.

Her eyes were blurry, as if the distant scenery was drifting away from reality.

They are taciturn and no longer have the desire to communicate through words.

The days of their imprisonment were like endless nights, plundering their souls.

The constraints of time and the torture of loneliness make them gradually lose their perception of the outside world and their desire for life.

These two dead trees were once the most beautiful objects in the dense forest, but now they have become forgotten corners.

There may still be a fire burning quietly in their hearts, but it is now covered in thick smoke and can no longer reach the land of light...

Jail station

Old James stepped into the detention center and bailed Thomas out according to the instructions of taking care of Mingcheng.

However, prison did not make him restrained, but made him more rebellious.

As soon as he was released from prison, he immediately planned to start a life-and-death showdown with Gu Mingcheng.

Old James tried to explain, but Thomas didn't believe it anyway.

He firmly believed that Gu Mingcheng would not let them go so easily, let alone agree to their return together.

Old James gave a helpless smile and looked at Thomas's firm eyes.

He understood that the suffering and pain during this period had completely changed his way of thinking.

During those long years in prison, his soul experienced a complete baptism and rebirth, becoming more unpredictable and determined.

However, James Sr. knew that Gu Mingcheng's decision was not rash, but based on some deeper consideration.

He tried to explain Gu Mingcheng's kindness and tolerance, but Thomas was unmoved.

He thought it was just a fantasy, a promise that couldn't be trusted...

James Sr. sighed and began to show Thomas the pictures he had obtained.

William, Mrs. Michelle, and Logan were seen standing on the vast and empty tarmac, and the golden sunlight shone on them, reflecting a faint light.

Behind them, a huge private jet stood like a sleeping giant.

And this unexpected opportunity was invited by a special sender - Gu Mingcheng!

Thomas looked at Old James aside, seeming to have transferred his suspicion of Gu Mingcheng to him.

"What's that look in your face?"

Old James frowned and felt all over.

"What price did you pay?"

Thomas was straightforward and did not give his grandfather any chance to buffer.

Old James gasped, and at that moment he felt his heart skip a beat.

How can my grandson be so wise?

"What did you give him?"

Seeing old James being so tight-lipped, Thomas's brows furrowed even deeper.

"I don't want anything, I just want me to help him with something."

Old James pretended to be calm and looked at Thomas.

"In exchange, he will be our back-up until you get all the resources of that family."

"How could Gu Mingcheng..."

"Never mind whether it's possible or not, at least so far he's kept his promise!"

Old James seemed to have lost his patience and interrupted Thomas directly. He took the lead and walked in front. But if you look carefully, you will find that the old man's steps are not steady.

Mid-Levels Villa

When Gu Mingcheng woke up, Ye Muxue's figure was no longer around him. The room was still dim, and the little Chengzi beside him had long since disappeared.

Gu Mingcheng stood up and slowed down, and his originally chaotic mind seemed to wake up at that moment.

Just after glancing at the alarm clock, endless regret surged into my heart.

How long has he been asleep?

Gu Mingcheng hurriedly opened his phone, and sure enough, there were several messages from William on the screen.

There is also old James among them!

Gu Mingcheng rushed out of the room eagerly, but when the man rushed over, Ye Muxue and Xiao Yezi were completely unprepared.

Even the children didn't know if something happened between the two just now.

The delicate Ye Muxue was unable to escape from her tightly grasped wrist.

He didn't even give her a chance to tell Little Coconut, and he didn't want to waste a second.

However, the unwillingness in Ye Muxue's heart surged like a tide, and her desire to break free from Gu Mingcheng's shackles made her try to use all her strength, but in vain.

Her delicate fingertips ached slightly under his strong hold, helplessly feeling the disparity in strength between herself and him.

"Gu Mingcheng! I want you to let go!"

The moment she was about to howl, Gu Mingcheng suddenly stopped running, as if his soul was struck by her stern shout.

Gu Mingcheng stopped. He watched Ye Muxue keep rubbing his sore wrist, and his chest heaved heavily.

"I promised old James to put Mrs. Michelle, Logan and Thomas back."

Gu Mingcheng's tone was low and emotionless.

"I arranged a private jet. If you don't send them off now, you won't have this opportunity in the future."

Gu Mingcheng was using his actions to prove everything he had done for Ye Muxue, but at that moment the woman in front of him seemed to have been cast a restraining spell and remained motionless for a long time.

Gu Mingcheng didn't urge him, but his actions said everything.

Watching the man keep looking at the phone screen, Ye Muxue's interview suit was unsealed.

"Take the children with you. I don't feel comfortable just leaving them at home."

Gu Mingcheng nodded repeatedly but did not speak. Instead, he quickly went back and changed his car.

When Ye Muxue and Gu Mingcheng took their children onto the tarmac, William was discussing the arrangements for how many people would get on the plane.

Even though there was only a few steps away, Gu Mingcheng insisted on crossing the front of the car after getting off the car and holding Ye Muxue's hand tightly.

The other hand was guarding the two children, their hair dancing in the breeze.

Old James and Thomas observed the family of three and glanced at Logan at the side.

Noticing the little movements of their grandfather and grandson, Gu Mingcheng and Ye Muxue also looked at the man beside them.

His eyes were like a lake of stagnant water. Even when he saw his love rival holding the woman he liked, he didn't show much reaction.

At that moment, Ye Muxue's eyes were red.

She wanted to step forward and hug the man who cared for her in adversity for the last time, but Gu Mingcheng on the side squeezed her hand tightly as if he had understood her thoughts.

She even gave the other party a warning look when she turned her gaze towards herself.

In the eyes of everyone, Gu Mingcheng, Ye Muxue and their children seemed to have come to watch the performance of their expulsion in Xiangcheng...
