Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

"I swear that I will take everything in my head." Mu Lan promised. "Now that Xue Lin in gone, I have to think of someone else."

The two friends heard Qi Ying asking, "Who will be that person? We can't risk Mu Family's privacy."

Something flashed in Mu Lan's mind. "I know someone who can do that."

"You want me to do that?" Carlo said. "I don't want to."

Mu Lan called him to ask for help. But this guy straightforwardly refused. She had no other way but to coax him. "Please Carl, I know I shouldn't mix you up with Mu Family's business, but there aren't many people I trust."

Carlo frowned. He complained, "Why do I feel like you have something else in your head?"

Mu Lan sounded as if she was hurt by his word, "Aww! How can you say that? You know I'm the sweetest, cutest, prettiest and the best girl there is."

Carlo nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I highly doubt that."

She stubbornly said, "Come on! You cannot not trust me."

He argued, "I do trust you, but I don't trust your scheming head."

Mu Lan grinned and said, "Then, read my mind."

Carlo chided her, "Wicked girl, you know I cannot read your mind from this distance."

She explained, "Then, come here. I already bought you clothes and whatever you need. You will come here with fake ID and pretend to be a Psychiatrist."

He said, "…I am a Psychiatrist."

"Shall I tell them your real name then?" She smirked.

Carlo gritted his teeth. "Girl, I won't cook for you in the future."

It was a heavy blow for Mu Lan. There was no way she would survive without tasting his extraordinary cooking. "Alright, alright, come to Italy."

After speaking, she cut the connection. She let out her breath. "Now, the second main target."

She went to the new apartment building where Jing Sheng bought her new flat. Mu Lan didn't go to her apartment but the floor above.

Spending some time there, she dialed a few more numbers, talked to few people and then she bought a meal on the way to the flower shop.

Seeing Jing Sheng having lunch alone, she called out sweetly, "Mother."

Jing Sheng was surprised to see her and then she was happy. "Xiao Lan, come here. Have lunch with me."

"Alright." Mu Lan sat down, opened her lunch box and began eating.

While they were gossiping about something interesting, she bought out the topic, "So mother, do you have any future plan now?"

"To improve the business, I have some ideas…"

Mu Lan lowered her voice while saying, "No, I'm not talking about business. I'm talking about your life. Mother, you have got back your freedom. You can do whatever you want to." She became excited while saying, "If I were you, I would look for my second love. Look around us. So many hot guys. Even the guy behind us is super cool. Ah, Italian boys… Mother, you are still beautiful. Why don't give it a shot? There is nothing more important than youth."

Mu Lan crossed her bottom line of shamelessness. Even the flirtiest Yan Su wouldn't be so shameless while talking to her own mother-in-law.

Jing Sheng blushed. She chided her daughter-in-law, "What are you talking about? How can I do such embarrassed thing? I'm not even young anymore."

Mu Lan couldn't back down at this point. She encouraged her mother-in-law, "What are you saying? Look at your face and body. You are sexier than you ever were. You look younger than the women in their thirties. How can you not take the chance?"

"I was married and divorced. Who will like me? Moreover, divorced or not, I'm still a mother of three son who have prestigious backgrounds. I cannot do whatever I want. I might harm my children's future. Also, people can harm my children while having any relationship with me. In my marriage life, I got to know how vicious people can be." Jing Sheng sighed. "I don't want to be harmed by my close people."

She reached out and touched Mu Lan's hands. "Xiao Lan, you are still young and you never saw how treacherous the world can become to get that they want. Nothing is scarier than the people who show you their smile but stab you behind your back. I don't have the courage to face something like this again."

Mu Lan finally realized. 'As expected, Liang Liang knew his mother's way of thinking. Their personality is quite same. They both can do everything for their loved ones. That's why Liang Liang could tell how his mother think. Hmm… how can I make her agree…?'

She smiled sadly remembering that Jing Sheng thought that she didn't know the black side of the reality. She knew better than anyone, how closest people could stab her back and how it felt.

People always thought that their lives were the hardest not knowing that other people had tougher lives than they had.

While she was in a deep thought, she heard couple of girls chatting about a famous night club. She narrowed her eyes.

She glanced at her mother-in-law who was deep in thought. "Mother, let's go out tonight."

it came out of nowhere. Jing Sheng blinked. "Go where?"

"To celebrate our bachelorhood." Mu Lan smiled smugly.

Altan Yul was sitting across. He heard everything. He sighed deeply. 'Oh boy, Miss Jing Sheng, I wouldn't go with her if I were you. Her face is so scheming that she looked scary. How dense can you be?'

In the evening, Mu Lan took the reluctant Jing Sheng to the shopping mall. They chose few dresses and wore them in the trial room.

Jing Sheng didn't know, while choosing the dresses, she began to have fun and became excited like a high school girl. Even though she was married to the wealthiest family in Europe, she never had the chance to have fun buying clothes; moreover, she never had the luxury from the very beginning.
