Mu Liang's whole body stiffened as she suddenly kissed his lips. She desperately tasted his warm lips. She was never this forceful before. Moreover, she was still crying. He wasn't sure what made her act like that. Thinking of the previous action, he cursed Li Shen in his mind.
After kissing him for a long time, Mu Lan became breathless and pulled away from him. She panted heavily, but her tears didn't stop.
Mu Liang used his thumbs to wipe her tears. He was so gentle. "What's wrong Lan? Are you hurt somewhere?"
His tender voice made her cry even more. It made him helpless. He didn't know what to do. He asked, "Lan, if you cry like that, I won't know what to do."
She hugged him and put her head on his left shoulder. "Liang, why are so good to me? Am I not unsatisfactory?"
Mu Liang frowned. "What are you talking about? You are the best among the best. Nothing can be compared to you. You are amazing the way you are."
"Am I?" She asked.
He hugged her closely in his arms and replied, "Of course! If it wasn't you, I wouldn't have married anyone. You are the one who lightened up my world. Only you, and no one else." He rubbed her head lovingly and said, "Please don't cry like this. Tell me what happened. Okay?"
Mu Lan sobbed while answering him, "Liang… I remembered… I remembered everything."
Mu Liang's body froze. His hand stopped stroking her head. His other hand hugged her tightly.
Mu Lan didn't notice his odd behavior. She cried out loudly. "Liang, he… he was my first love… I never did anything to harm him. But… but why did he have to hurt me so much. I was killed more than once. He ripped my heart so many times. Why did he have to do that? What did I do to make him hate me so much? Why crime did I commit in my previous life to suffer like this?"
Her loud cry was so heartbreaking that Mu Liang's heart wasn't able to bear it. He never made her cry like this. Why would he allow another man to make her suffer when she did nothing wrong?
He coaxed her affectionately saying, "You didn't do anything bad. You are just too great and that's why the Almighty wanted you to have a person who would only cherish you. I don't know about your past life. But I think, in my past life, I must have done something great that in this life, the Almighty gave you to me. You are the best thing that can ever happen to me. So, don't be upset, Lan. I'll never hurt you. You will never suffer and I won't let anyone ever hurt you the way he did."
Mu Lan sobbed till she couldn't breathe properly. Her mouth was open as she inhaled and exhaled irregularly.
When she finally calmed down, Mu Liang's lips travelled all over her face. Then he said, "Look at you, crying like a baby on our wedding night."
She finally looked at him properly. "…Wedding night?"
"It had been only one hour when you fell on the ocean. I'm so sorry. I couldn't come to save you in time." He gave her a glass of water. "Here, drink slowly."
She was thirsty. After crying for so long her throat became dry. She slowly drank the water. Then, he rubbed her moist lips.
Mu Lan looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar place. It was a luxurious bedroom. Through the window, she could see the dark sky and the calm ocean.
She said confusedly, "This isn't a ship. Where are we?"
Mu Liang sighed. "That's a long story."
----------
An hour ago, Mu Liang was in the bathtub, almost fell asleep in tiredness. Just then, he heard Mu Lan's loud voice. She was shouting his name and calling for help. He jumped out of the bathtub nearly slipped and almost had an accident. He snatched the bathrobe and clumsily wore it. When he came out of the bathroom hurriedly, he saw Mu Lan was struggling against Li Shen. Her back touching the railing of the balcony. Her legs slipped and then she fell on the ocean.
His soul went out of his body seeing that. He ran forward desperately. First, he punched Li Shen so hard that Li Shen fell on the floor. He wanted to punish him more as a single punch didn't satisfy him at all. However, Mu Lan was drowning. He was scared not to see her moving even though she knew how to swim. He dived into the sea without a second thought.
The Cobra daddies were at the eighth floor. They saw the bride and the groom fell on the ocean one by one.
Romano exclaimed in fear. "Oh my God! My baby!"
Pedro raised right eyebrow. "What a disaster!" He was as calm as ever. His poker face didn't change in the slightest. As if he knew nothing bad would happen to his kid.
Osiris praised Mu Liang, "Look at our son-in-law, he didn't hesitate at all."
"If he did hesitate, I would kick him to the sea and then after he rescued her, I would finish him then and there." Hotheaded Liam said.
Carlo smirked. "For that disgusting Li boy, it must have been hard for him to see her being happy. Did he really think he could rob her happiness and control her? How foolish!"
Orio blamed him, "It was all your fault. I told you not to provoke him. You are the one who let him go to the tenth floor letting him to see my princess and her husband together. Now look what happened."
Carlo clicked his tongue. "Tsk, I only wanted him to suffer. He deserved it."
"We all agree with that." Mark nodded in agreement.
"So, should we help them? At this rate, they won't be able to catch the ship." Shintaro said looking down at the ocean.
Juan mischievously said, "Hmm, I wonder."
