"He is after you. That's why. He will try to poach you if they know that you are Red." The muscled man said.
"Haha, don't worry about it. He won't find out. Even if he tries, he won't get me." Mu Lan lightly said.
The bulky man grinded her with his fist once again and said, "Don't underestimate your enemy. How many times do I have to tell you that?"
"I got. I got it. Stop doing that!" Mu Lan tried to take his hand off of her head. But before that, he removed his hand. She said, "I'm going back now. See you around."
She smiled and turned around. She walked quickly like running.
"Don't run!" Thirteen men said at the same time.
She laughed and slowed down.
"Honestly, she will make me bald in no time." The one who was always complaining said.
After walking five steps, she stopped and looked back. She couldn't see anyone, as if there was no on there from the very beginning, everything was her imagination.
-------
When she went back to Mu Liang's chamber, she warmed a glass of milk and drank it. After that she peeped into the bed room and found Mu Liang in the same position. She sighed in relief.
Mu Lan silently came inside, took off her outerwear and put it where it was before and went back to the bed.
So many things she got to know tonight and her blood was boiling in excitement. She took some deep breathes to clam herself down and looked at the sleeping man next to her.
The moon light enlightened Mu Liang's solitude, making him extra mysterious. His sleeping posture was perfect and he looked more handsome than usual time.
Since after getting drank he was deeply asleep, Mu Lan did something bold. She nestled against him, gave him a mouthful, soft and loving kiss and said, "Do you know that your wife is a woman with super power? I wonder how will you react after knowing the fact."
After she said that, she hugged him and closed her eyes. Over excitement made her tired and she fell asleep in a few seconds.
Her breathing was regular and she was dreaming something beautiful which caused her smile softly while sleeping.
Mu Liang opened his eyes and observed his sleeping beauty. There was no drunkenness or sleepiness in his eyes. His eyes were clear and deep. Thousands of thoughts were running inside his head.
He touched her face with the back side of his fingers and stroked her lightly. It caused her cuddle even closer to him. He reached out and hugged her, pulling her even closer.
Mu Liang looked out of the window watching the bright, round moon.
His mind was circling around only one thing. 'The Cobra…'
-------
The skinny man snorted as he smoked. "Do you really think that it is okay for the Mu boy to know our existence?"
The muscled man only chuckled and ate his food.
The bulky man said, "Little brat became weaker. She didn't feel his presence at all. He was following her from the very beginning."
Mark sighed. He was also thinking the same thing.
The muscled man said, "He was hiding his presence skillfully though."
"But he couldn't possibly think that he fooled us." The beard man said.
"He won't. He never underestimates his enemy. It's funny to know that he was playing hide and seek with us." The muscled man said with an amusing grin.
"I wonder what he is feeling now." The others chuckled thinking about the current situation of Mu Liang.
-----
Seeing his second brother so happy and trying make him drunk, Mu Liang had a doubt, so he pretended to drink and became drunk. After bath, Mu Feng tugged him under the comforter and left.
At first, Mu Liang thought that Mu Feng knew things about Mu Lan what he didn't. But he threw that option.
Mu Liang wait for Mu Lan to get up. Just in the middle of the night, she got up and secretly went out of the room. He followed her from behind. He was extra careful not to be found out.
Not from too far away, he saw Mark Anthony, the new driver and frowned. 'Why is she meeting him?' Seeing Mark undressing himself, he was even more confused and was ready to fight if something bad had happend. He hid himself behind a tree and looked carefully.
Then he suddenly saw twelve men behind her out of nowhere. Only he knew how scared he was. He thought that they would abduct her. He was so ready to call the guards.
To his surprise, they introduced themselves as The Cobra.
Mu Liang's body turned cold. 'What business do they have with her?'
Little by little he found out more and more, and all his logic and reasoning turned into dust. His head couldn't take anymore. When he saw that Mu Lan had nothing to talk about, he turned around and left under the shadow.
He came to the bed and warmed his body under the comforter. After a while, Mu Lan came back and fell asleep.
That night, Mu Liang didn't have a wink of sleep.
-----
The next day, he rubbed his painful temples and got up. As Mu Feng ordered, the maid prepared a hangover soup for him and he drank it all.
His head was still filled with last night's incident. He went back to the bedroom and saw Mu Lan was still sleeping.
'She is being protected by thirteen men since the very beginning. And my men knew nothing about it. As expected of The Cobra.' He thought.
The maid knocked the door and broke his chain of thoughts. "First young master, second young master is looking for you." She politely said while bowing.
"Okay." Mu Liang replied. He came out after changing his dress and met Mu Feng.
"Big brother, how are you feeling?" Mu Feng asked.
'Traitor!' Cursing his second brother in his mind, Mu Liang answered, "I don't know."
Mu Feng blinked. "Don't know…. Didn't you drink the soup?"
"I did. Feng, what do you know about The Cobra?" Mu Liang asked.
