Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

Mu Lan saw his cell phone on the bedside table. She wrapped a shawl around her and stepped out of the bedroom. She didn't see Mu Liang in the living room either. She was surprised. She asked herself, "Where did he go?"

She had a hunch that he wouldn't disturb Mu Feng who finally got some time to spend with Qi Ying. So, she walked out of the chamber and went downstairs. The corridor was dark and silent. She proceeded quietly. She first went to his study room and then her study room. Not finding him there, she went to the bar. He wasn't there either.

Just then, she looked out of the window and found Mu Liang's silhouette. He was standing in the lakeside. He wasn't alone, he was with another person. The person's structure was similar to Mark Anthony.

"What are they talking about?" Feeling curious, Mu Lan walked out of the castle. In the chilly weather, she made her way to the lakeside. When she reached there, Mark was already gone.

Mu Liang noticed her presence. He turned around and asked, "Why are you out here? You could've waited for me inside." He took her hands and found them freezing cold. "Look at you. It's summer and you are this cold." He tried to warm her hands by rubbing them.

"I was looking for you of course. What were you doing with Mark? Where is he now?" She asked him back in return.

"You saw us…." It was more like a statement. "He woke me up and asked me to come out. He wished to give me a surprise." Mu Liang hugged her body to warm her up.

"What kind of surprise?" Mu Lan was curious as well. "I will wait with you here."

"Alright." He hugged her tighter as he agreed.

Staying silent for a while, Mu Lan asked, "Have you contacted doctor Feng. It would be better if he was with Yan Su at this moment. His research cannot be more important than her, right?"

Mu Liang froze when he heard about Lu Feng and she noticed it instantly.

"Did something happen to him?" Mu Lan asked as she stared at him.

There were white and red clouds in the sky. The sun was rising. There was thin light in the sky. In the light, she could clearly see his handsome face.

Mu Liang sighed. "He is missing. We are looking for him right now." He told her everything he found out yesterday.

Mu Lan's eyes grew rounder. "So that happened. We have to keep it secret for a while. I don't want anything to happen to Yan Su and her unborn child."

Mu Liang opened his mouth to say something but he stopped when he heard something groaning. Mu Lan also heard it. Both of them were about to look at the sky when something big and heavy fell in the middle of the lake from the sky.

The water splashed and there was a loud sound. Mu Liang and Mu Lan were in the same place as they dumbly looked at the lake.

Someone came out of the lake and began swimming. That person saw the couple and swam towards them.

The couple looked carefully at that person and Mu Lan exclaimed, "Hugo!"

It was Hugo Muller. He looked deathly pale when he came closer. It must have taken a turmoil since he fell from the sky. He climbed to the ground and laid down. He breathed heavily. He was wearing black clothes and almost looked like a soaked crow.

The couple waited for him to calm down.

Hugo's breath became regular. He wiped away the water from his face and stood up. He bowed at the couple and said in a serious face, "First young master, first young mistress, I have returned."

"We can see that." Mu Liang coldly said.

Hugo's cold body stiffened. He knew that his boss was angry as he didn't mention anything before he left. He also broke the rules.

Mu Lan could feel his awkwardness. She said, "Go and freshen up. Don't catch cold."

"Yes, mistress." Hugo bowed ad left. He was grateful to Mu Lan that she understood his feelings.

After he left, Mu Lan looked around. "This is quite a surprise. Is today Christmas Eve? Mark suddenly became Santa Claus." She was looking for Mark.

"Ho ho ho… do you like my surprise?" Mark talked like a real Santa Claus. He walked towards them.

Mu Lan replied, "Definitely. But where did you get him?"

Mark answered, "This brat knows where to poke his nose. He secretly went to China to investigate your past. He almost succeeded to be troubled by someone who he shouldn't mess with. Luo Luo saved him and locked him up for a while. He contacted Carl. Carl told me to get him before I return to Italy."

Luo Luo was Luo Yicheng who was the ninja member in The Cobra.

"Someone who he should mess with… who is that person?" Mu Lan was obviously eager to know.

"No one you met before. It's better if you don't know about that curse." Mark disclosed the matter with a disdain tone.

"If you don't tell me, I will investigate myself." Mu Lan threatened him.

Mark shrugged. "If you don't want to make Juan angry, you are most welcome." He didn't stop her and gave her absolute freedom.

Mu Lan flinched. She didn't dare to make Juan angry. Juan was the person who dotted on her the most. He was calm and quiet. He was very reasonable and a wise leader. Mu Lan didn't have the courage to test his bottom line. She wasn't afraid of getting scolded; she was certainly afraid of their relation becoming strained because of her disobedience.

Of course, Juan wouldn't do something like that. However, he didn't want Mu Lan to cross the line for her own good. There was something dark about The Cobra. The less she knew the better. For this very reason, he frightened Mu Lan when she was young. That's why, she never tried to test his bottom line.
