Seeing his sparkling eyes, Mu Lan immediately realized that everything was Mu Feng's plan. He was trying to trap her.
It was true that Mu Lan's ideal place was here, but nothing would work out if she couldn't stay with Mu Liang.
Before she could answer, Mu Feng said, "You saw that some scientists were excited when they saw you. I told them earlier that you were Red. They were so happy to have. Sis, I promise you that you won't suffer any hardship."
"What if there is an accident and I get injured?" Mu Lan asked.
Mu Feng asked her back, "Why do you think this laboratory is situated between the Lu Research Center and the fire station?"
Mu Lan frowned, "Where will I stay?"
Mu Feng answered without hesitation. "In the second floor. They have the same system as the third floor. The male and female sleeping areas are different. We have couple rooms too. If you want to stay with big brother, it can be arranged."
Mu Lan sighed loudly and shrugged while saying, "But what to do? I just like the house I live in. I don't want to be imprisoned here."
That's right. No matter how alluring the offer might be and how much she loved the job, Mu Lan would never cage herself. She loved to breathe freely and live freely with the man she loved.
The potato stick which was in Mu Feng's mouth fell on the boat. He started, "Sis…"
Mu Lan smiled and said, "I know what you want to say, but bro, I don't want to. You cannot cage me with your strict rules. I can't live like that."
Mu Feng sighed. He couldn't give up just like that. "Fine, your wish is my command. But if you ever change your decision and you want to work with us, don't hesitate and let me know."
"I understand." Mu Lan smiled. "We should head back to the fifth floor."
"Okay." Mu Feng took them to the dock and went to the fifth floor.
"Did you draw the design?" Mu Lan asked while they walked. "Do you have any plan how do you want to start?"
Mu Feng answered honestly, "I just came up with the idea and shared with big brother. I didn't know that he would suddenly tell me to do it."
"In other words, you are saying that I have to start from the very beginning. I got it." Mu Lan nodded in understanding.
"Do you have something in your mind?" Mu Feng was curious to know what was going in Mu Lan's head.
Mu Lan rubbed her chin. "Insects. The real one."
Mu Feng screamed. "What!"
"Shut up and listen to me." Mu Lan began to explain.
Mu Feng frowned while listening and said, "It will take time…"
"That's why from today, let's live here." Mu Lan suggested. She knew that what she was planning wasn't the easiest task.
Mu Feng's eyes glowed. "Sis are you really…" joining us?' He couldn't finish because Mu Lan interrupted him.
"In your dreams." She answered bluntly.
------
Mu Liang entered the laboratory and the guards saluted him.
In return, he said, "Keep doing the good work."
"Yes, sir!" The security guards said in unison.
Mu Liang went to the fifth floor and found Mu Lan drawing something in a white paper.
"It's already nine in the evening. Why are you working so late? Have you had your dinner?" Mu Liang asked in concern. He looked down at the paper and saw her drawing a spider.
Mu Lan heard his voice and stopped working. She looked at him and said, "You are here. I'm almost finished. But I think I have stay here for five days. If I can stay here, it will be finished earlier."
Mu Liang looked at the other scientists who were working and didn't pay attention to them. He replied, "I think you didn't have your dinner. Let's have dinner together and we will talk in the meantime."
"Okay. Let me finish this one." Mu Lan continued drawing.
Half an hour later, both of them entered in the cafeteria and ordered food.
"Did Feng take care of your room here?" Mu Liang asked.
Mu Lan nodded. "Yes, he said that if I wanted, I could stay here from tonight."
Mu Liang didn't disagree. "Come back with me tonight. I have something to tell you. You can stay here from tomorrow."
"Okay. What do you want to talk about?" Mu Lan asked.
Mu Liang replied, "I will tell you once we go home. This is not the place where we should talk about it."
"I understand." Mu Lan thought about something and asked him, "When my brother went to the laboratory, was it this laboratory you were talking about?"
"Yes." Mu Liang answered shortly.
Mu Lan was stunned. "I should praise my brother to be able to dodge the security. There must be a loophole if he can come here in the broad daylight…."and steal things.
She didn't dare to finish the sentence.
"Once we get a hold of your brother, I will ask him personally." Mu Liang said.
Mu Lan smiled. "Don't go easy in him."
She thought, 'My brother deserves this punishment.'
'Achoo!' Mu Lan's brother Jonah sneezed loudly. "Who is calling my name?" He asked himself.
After having dinner together, Mu Lan and Mu Liang headed back to the mansion. On the road, Mu Lan fell asleep due to working hard the whole evening. Mu Liang didn't wake her up and took her to the duplex house.
When Mu Lan opened her eyes, she saw stars in the night sky. She blinked. 'What's going on?'
Feeling something was wrong, she sat up and looked round her surroundings. She was on the boat, wearing a while silk maxi dress. On the boat, there were also some towel and bathrobe.
While she was sleeping, Mu Liang brought her to the bedroom, changed her clothes and then put her on the boat. He also brought the towels.
