Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

After dinner, Romano asked, "Hey Anty, I heard that you really threw the Lu boy in the beach of Costa Rica?"

Antonio was relaxing while rubbing his stomach filled with food. "I did. Who the hell does he think he is calling my baby girl 'sweet little bunny'? He should be happy that I didn't cut off his tongue."

Carlo casually said, "Don't worry. He will never call her by that name again. I took a 'great' care of it."

Romano looked around. "Where is little princess? I didn't see her after dinner. Is she washing the dishes?"

Carlo scoffed. "When did she ever wash the dishes? She always finds a way to hand over the house chores to us using her cute acting skills. Can you ever say 'no' to that? I doubt it."

"But I did tell her to wash the dishes before I served the food. She agreed to do it." Romano scratched his head. "She said that it would be taken care of."

"Did the sun rise in the west today?" Carlo couldn't believe it.

"She didn't say that she would do it." Pedro corrected.

Just then, Juan came back from the kitchen while wiping his hands. "I'm done with washing the dishes. Where is little one?"

Romano""…" He as dumbfounded.

Carlo: "…" He thought, 'I knew it!'

Antonio sighed. 'She will never change.'

Pedro said, "I think she is trying to get inside. After all, she is closer to her father now."

Antonio said sympathetically, "She must miss her father a lot."

They heard Romano saying, "But she cannot open the gate without the gold key. Without it, none of us can enter."

Carlo commented, "Only Orio can break the door. But there is no way we will break it, isn't that right? After all, our hidden treasure is there."

In the meantime, Mu Lan was standing in front of the big door made of stone. There was a small keyhole. She touched the keyhole.

'I wish I had the key with me. Then I could see you…' Thinking that, she leaned forward and her forehead touched the stony cold door. She inhaled and exhaled slowly. She whispered softly, "I miss you…. papa…"

Two days later, Pedro changed her dressing. "You will be fine if you take a week rest."

Mu Lan said, "I know. But I don't want to waste my time here. I have to prepare myself both mentally and physically. I have to meet that guy and fight him. This time, I won't back down easily."

"Are you sure about this? You are saying it because you don't have your memories with him. But when you have your memories back…" Pedro controlled his laughter. "I can't imagine the Mu boy's face when you abandon him."

Mu Lan looked at him. "Why are you all thinking the same thing? Don't you have confidence in me? More importantly, why will I leave Liang Liang for that man? He is not only married but also mentally sick." She exhaled aloud.

Pedro gathered his medical kits and said, "We think that way because no matter how much he tortured you, you still loved him to the point to give your life to save him and his wife and child. What do you want us to think after you did such major sacrifice?"

Mu Lan tried to find excuses. "…I was blind."

"It doesn't mean you won't become blind after you get your memories back." Pedro gave her a logical explanation. "When you were blindly in love with him, you never thought logically. You even left us and told us not to meet you. You wanted to a normal life with him."

Mu Lan was speechless. She tried to think properly this time. Then she said, "Maybe, I was possessed by a ghost?" Though it was an assertive sentence, her questioning tone sounded like a question.

Pedro gave her a hard look.

Mu Lan stood up and hugged him. She looked like a puppy when she pitifully and cutely said, "I'm so sorry that I behaved that way. I shouldn't have done it. I wronged you…"

Pedro interrupted him, "Alright, stop with your acting. I can't believe you tried the same tactic again and again."

"But it always works on you." She said in a lovely tone and kissed his cheek. After that, she turned around and said, "I'm going now. Bye bye for now." Saying that she left.

Pedro sighed and shook his head. "This girl…"

The next day, Mu Lan and others went to Costa Rica before heading to Italy. The reason to stay in Costa Rica was because, her injury was opened in the storm of the Bermuda Tringle.

Pedro scolded her while dressing her injury, "I told you to take rest in there for a week. But you won't listen. Now look what you have done! Do you like being hurt? What are you? A masochist?"

Mu Lan's complexion already paled as she lost too much blood. Now that she was being scolded, her pouted and stayed silent.

Juan rubbed her head. "Little one, do you want to stay here until your injury heals?"

Mu Lan shook her head. "I want to go back."

Juan nodded. "Alright. I'll ask Shin to bring his private plane."

That night, Mu Lan reached the Mu Castle and was welcomed by Mu Liang.

He came forward and cupped her face. "Why do you look so pale? Are you sick?"

Carlo complained, "This stubborn girl was injured but she wouldn't take rest. She wanted to come here so badly that she moved recklessly till her injury opened."

Mu Liang eyed the girl in his arms silently. It was a scary gaze.

Mu Lan gazed at him with her puppy eyes and mumbled softly, "I missed you."

Mu Liang looked at Carlo. "I'll make sure she takes enough rest."

"Mmm…" Mu Lan wanted to protest when Carlo replied, "You better."

It was a pure threat.

Mu Liang ignored him. He put his right hand on her shoulder and left hand on her thighs and then carried her inside.
