When the normal wooden door opened, Mu Lan blinked. There was another door and it was made of steel. There was an eye recognition censor.
First Mu Lan, and then Mu Liang had to scan their eyes before the steel door was opened. Inside there was a glass door and in the pink ink was written "Lan Lan's Playground".
Mu Lan couldn't help but rub her eyes to make sure she saw the correct words, and she hadn't made any mistake. It was just what she read.
"What am I? a kid? Why do I need a playground in the middle of the mansion?" She complained and took the first step.
The glass door opened automatically and she gasped. It was indeed her playground. This room was decorated just like the laboratory with full of equipment. Mu Lan could make whatever she wanted in here without going to the laboratory.
"Liang…. This…." She didn't know what to say.
"Didn't you dislike being in the laboratory? That's why I ordered to make this playground for you. Do you like it?" Mu Liang hugged her from behind and kissed her head.
"I don't like it, I love it!" Mu Lan's blood boiled in excitement. This must be the first time she was ever happy after getting present from Mu Liang.
"I'm glad that you loved it." Mu Liang was satisfied.
The two of them looked around the room hand in hand. Mu Lan suddenly asked, "When will you leave?"
"The day after tomorrow. Do you have something in your mind?" He asked.
"Yes, give me whatever you are going to wear, including your luggage. I will make them exceptional." Her eyes glinted.
"The cockroaches and the spiders won't destroy anything inside the luggage, will they?" He was planning to ask about it from yesterday.
"Nope. They won't eat anything. They can eat only the chemical I give them. They can be fed once in a month." She proudly said.
"You kept talking about a chemical. What is it?" Mu Liang asked.
Mu Lan scratched her head. "Actually, I borrowed it from Dr. Lu Feng's room."
"You took it from his room!" Mu Liang exclaimed."
Mu Lan protested. "I didn't take it. Don't say that I stole it. I 'borrowed' it."
"You took it without his permission and you are not going to give it back to him since the chemical will be given to the insects." Mu Liang shook his head.
If that's not stealing, what was?
Last time, it was Jonah who took a new invention from Lu Feng's room and this time, it was Mu Lan. No wonder Jonah got it from Mu Lan. It seemed that birds of a feather flocks together, this proverb was true.
Lu Feng was going to be really upset this time.
Mu Liang pinched the area between his eyebrows and sighed. "I hope that you know how to create it." He really wished that.
"Of course. If I don't know how to feed my toys, it will be bothersome in the future." Mu Lan said.

After Mu Liang gave her his clothes and other necessary items for the travelling, Mu Lan began working. After preparing his luggage, she said with a bright smile, "Don't open the luggage before you enter your room in there."

Mu Liang replied, "Before I touch it, the guards will."
"What are you talking about? You are the chief guest! They won't dare." Mu Lan said confidently.
Mu Liang only smiled and said nothing.
-------
The day Mu Liang should leave had arrived. Mu Liang was putting on his clothes.
"Let me help you." Mu Lan came forward and aided him to put on the tie. "How should I knot it?" She was really confused about the chemistry of a single tie.
"Do it this way." Mu Liang told her and she tied the knot.
"All done." After assisting him put of the blazer, Mu Lan said, "We're acting more ad more like a married couple."
"Now you realized." Mu Liang leaned down to capture her lips.
The deep kiss was finally over. She breathlessly said, "Let's get married."
Mu Liang's arms tightened around her slender waist. Only he knew how her small indulgence created a ripple inside his heart. Even he felt butterflies in his stomach like a teenage girl fell in love for the first time.
He said, "Wait for me to come back." His tone was deep, a little bit hoarse.
Mu Lan happily nodded. "I will act like a loyal wife and wait for you in here. Just come back in one piece as you promised."
"I will." He once again bent towards her and kissed her lips.
The weather was extra perfect today. Even the birds were singing.
After Mu Laing left, Mu Feng came to talk to Mu Lan. "Sister Lan Lan, when do you plan on giving me the blueprint?"
"It's almost done. Come with me." Mu Lan went upstairs and suddenly stopped.
"What wrong?" Mu Feng asked.
She turned around and gave him a kick. "Do you think of me as a human being or not? Can't you see I'm tired?" After giving him a dead glare, she started climbing the stairs again.
Mu Feng was speechless. 'Did aunt flu catch her?'
Truthfully, Mu Lan didn't catch aunt flu. She showed that she was not affected by anything, but, her heart was calling Mu Liang's name. She couldn't concentrate in anything. She also didn't feel like eating.
However, under everyone's careful gaze, she had to do everything obediently.
She smiled thinking that Mu Liang was correct. She couldn't be trusted.
At night, she saw the empty, cold and lonely bed. She didn't feel like sleeping. She sighed and rubbed the cold bed.
Knock! Knock!
Before Mu Lan said anything, someone entered her bedroom.
Mu Feng showed up with a glass of warm milk. "I knew you were awake. I brought you milk. Drink it before it turns cold."
He was bribing her. Since her mood was off lately after Mu Liang left and he needed the blueprint but she couldn't concentrate; thus, he decided to take extra care of her.
