Mu Lan glanced at him. "What are you doing?" She asked.
Mu Feng came back from his thoughts. "…I am following you…."
Mu Lan further asked, "Why are you following me?" He wasn't supposed to follow her around.
Mu Feng had other thing in his mind. "….Why you say….." He didn't want Mu Lan to know that Mu Liang was shot. He knew that Mu Liang would never lie. Thus he wanted to cover it up, or else Mu Lan might beat him up for not telling her sooner.
Mu Lan instructed him, "Go and talk to the guests. Do you want me to do that too? They will poach me if I go."
Mu Feng reluctantly said, "Okay, okay, I'm going." His body was stiff as he turned around and walked away.
Mu Lan narrowed her eyes. "Isn't he a bit suspicious?' She felt like he was hiding something. 'Oh, well, I will find out sooner or later.' She shrugged and walked to the chamber of Mu Liang.
She nervously opened the door of the living room, however, she didn't see Mu Liang anywhere. "This surprises me. Is he tired and taking a nap?" She asked herself.
Then she walked to the bedroom and opened the door. He wasn't there either. She sighed.
If Mu Liang was present, she would come to sleep. But in the empty cold bed, she didn't want to sleep. That's the reason why she didn't sleep last night and worked all the time. She was too tired to think of anything else.
She took off her mask and dress. Then she took off the jewelries and went to the bathroom. After shower, her fatigue went away.
Mu Lan's stomach growled in hunger. She changed into a pink spring dress and walked out of the bedroom. She was about to call a maid, just then, she saw the door of the guest room opened and the maid came out with a tray of empty bowls. Seeing Mu Lan standing right in front of her, she was startled.
"Who is in the guest room? By whose order?" Mu Lan asked.
The maid had nowhere to hide. She bowed and replied, "Um… second young master ordered to prepare this room for a patient."
Mu Lan was suspicious. She recalled Mu Feng's odd behavior. "Patient? Who is that person? And why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"Um… that is second young master told us not to tell you anything." The maid was scared to death.
"Who is in there?" Mu Lan asked. She already began walking. She had a bad feeling.
"….Um… first young master…." The maid couldn't help telling the truth.
Before the maid uttered 'first young master', Mu Lan already opened the door and say Mu Liang was trying to change his short. His shirt was unbuttoned and white bandage was covering his chest.
Mu Lan stood by the door and without blinking stared at him.
Mu Liang gazed at her and smiled after seeing her beautiful appearance. "You did great."
However, his compliment didn't go through her head. Her eyes were glued at his bandaged chest. "What happened to you?" She asked. At that moment, she totally forgot that she was mad at him and was punishing him.
'She talked to me. She finally talked to me.' Mu Liang felt like he heard the most beautiful melody ever.
"I was shot." He answered truthfully.
M Lan walked closer. She asked, "Is that why you didn't come home?"
Mu Liang's eyes were connected with hers. "Yes, doctor said that I needed a few days of rest."
"Then why are you here?" Her voice slightly broke as she asked.
"I wanted to see you badly." Mu Liang stretched his right hand and caught Mu Lan's wrist and pulled her close to him. He encircled his arms around her and smelled her fragrance.
Mu Lan was worried that he would get hurt, so she didn't pull back and stayed still in his arms. She was so that Mu Liang wanted to tease her.
"Who shot you?" She asked.
"The assistant of Mr. Romano." Mu Liang told her everything what happened yesterday.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were hurt? You could just call me through landline or other's cell phone." Mu Lan complained. She was getting mad for not knowing anything.
"I thought that Mu Feng would tell you. But he was worried that you would get distracted, that's why he didn't." Mu Liang rubbed her head.
"He knew! That makes sense. That's why he was acting weirdly." She sighed. "it's true that I would get distracted. But if I knew I would do something to take Romano Corporation down."
"Maybe, that's the very reason he didn't tell you. We don't want you to fight him. Just enjoy your life the way it is. We will handle our enemies." Mu Liang coaxed her.
"I don't believe it. How can I stay safe and you two will fight? I want to fight with you." Mu Lan said stubbornly.
"Who said that you aren't fighting? You did a great job out there. I have seen it in our website. You are a hero. Didn't they try to poach you?" Mu Liang praised her.
Mu Lan laughed and said, "They did. That's why I left quickly."
Mu Liang touched her chin and turned her face towards him. He frowned. "Didn't you sleep last night?"
She looked at his eyes and replied, "How can I? You weren't here."
Mu Liang's face became slightly solemn. "Did you work all night?"
Mu Lan answered truthfully. "I did. How do you think I finished the work in a single day? There was a lot to do, you know? If I didn't start working on the robot four months ago, I wouldn't able to finish it so early."
"Did you eat while you were working last night?" Mu Liang asked.
"I did. Not only me but all the employees and the maids and cook were awake. They constantly served food. There was no way we would be hungry." Mu Lan smiled remembering last night. "It felt like we were doing science festival in school. That's what everyone was saying. They were really having fun."
