The morning had passed just like that, but the newly wed couldn't stay away from each other at all. In the end, Mu Liang only let her go when her stomach growled.
He cooked bacon, egg fried rice for both of them. When he came to the bedroom with a tray of food, Mu Lan already bathed by herself and she was waiting for him. He sat down in front of her. Then, he fed her and ate himself.
After that, they laid down on the bed to sleep. Mu Lan was on top of him as her head on his shoulder. She was hugged by two strong arms. Those arms patted her slowly, making her feeling sleepy.
She nearly fell asleep. Suddenly she remembered something. She asked him, "Liang Liang, we don't have the birth control herbal medicine here and you didn't wear any condom…"
Mu Liang's eyes were closed. He asked, "Do you not want a child?"
Mu Lan said, "Of course, I do…. The child will be our first fruit. I definitely want it. But we only had a marriage ceremony, we aren't lawfully married. I don't want our child to come in my stomach before we are registered."
The hands which were patting her stopped. Mu Liang was silent before saying, "We are already registered."
Mu Lan froze. "…How? I don't remember signing any document…"
And then, she finally remembered, after her recovery from coma, she wanted to study Fine Arts and Mu Liang brought a government official and she signed a few documents. Then, she was given the title Mu.
Mu Liang would never make her him sister and then would make love to her. From the very beginning, she became a part of the Mu Family as his wife without her knowing.
"Y-you… didn't…" Mu Lan stuttered in disbelief.
Mu Liang sat up and hastily said, "I couldn't make you my adopted sister after knowing my feelings for you, could I?"
Mu Lan screamed, "I want divorce!"
She was so angry that was loss of words. The only thing that came in her mind was divorce.
'H-how could he do that? Without my permission, without my consent, letting me stay in the dark, how could he?' She already sat down on the bed and trembling in anger.
Mu Liang was very nervous. All his tiredness washed away seeing her seething in fury. "Honey, It's not like that. To hide you from Li Shen, I had asked Feng to destroy all your information. To give you another family name, I didn't want to let you have other than Mu title. However, I can't make you my adopted daughter or sister. You understand that, right? I could only make you my legal partner. But I didn't want to force things on you. So, I did my best to make your heart accept me. If you didn't take me as your lover, I would have let you sign the divorce papers without notifying you. I would have let you go wherever you want, if you rejected me. But then, you accepted me for who I am and it gave me hope; and now we are married. Please don't talk about being apart from me."
The way he said it, it made her suffocated. "Do you mean that if I rejected you, you would secretly give me divorce and for the rest of your life, you would be single and keep loving me without letting me know?"
"…" Mu Liang's silence gave her the answer.
Mu Lan sighed. When she recalled her time with him, he was gentle and caring. He was never cold to her and always gave her a sense of security. Without her knowing, she was gradually drawn to him. He knew that she was his legal wife and he could force her. But he didn't. He slowly made her accept her in both body and mind. In the boat, when he first time touched her, she was muddle headed and the excitement she felt under his spell was still vivid in her mind. After that, he noticed that she didn't dislike his touch and he could hardly stop himself from touching her. Everything came to them naturally as though they were a match made in heaven.
How could she get mad at him when he had sacrificed so much for her?
She hugged him. "Don't take all the burden to yourself. Leave some for me to bear. This way, we can be a real couple."
Mu Liang was relieved to see her calm down. He embraced her tightly. "It's not a burden. As long as you are happy, I can do anything."
Mu Lan bit the crook of his neck. Then she warned him, "If you don't listen to me, I'll divorce you."
He flinched at her threat. "I-I will listen to you from now on, my wife. Please don't get mad."
Mu Lan smiled happily and said, "Can we sleep now. I'm tired."
"Yes, let's sleep." While embracing her, he laid down. They slept till midnight.
Since they were in honeymoon phase, they could hardly keep their hands from each other and marked their every part of their bodies. Still, they didn't grow tired, on the contrary, they became more attached to each other. They forgot about everything but themselves. They indulge themselves in luxury and happiness.
Two weeks were gone just like that. Mu Lan was laying down on her stomach in the seashore. Her hands were under her chin and she moved her legs back and forth. She sighed. "I don't want to leave. I want to stay a bit longer."
Mu Liang was sitting beside her, enjoying the sunset. "Let's end the whole thing together. Then we will come here and stay here as much as you want. What do you say?"
Mu Lan looked at him happily. "Okay, it's a deal."
They smiled at each other. When they heard a noise, they looked at the ocean. A boat was coming towards them with three men in it.
