Mu Liang wanted to ask what she was thinking for a while, "Honestly, why did you take mother to visit such place? She must have been nervous."
Only then did Mu Lan remember that Noel was with Jing Sheng. Her eyes shined in excitement. All her fatigue washed away.
Mu Liang couldn't see her face in the dark. However, in the quiet room, he could feel her heart started to beat fast. He felt that something was amiss. He reached out and stretched her right side of the cheek upward to face him.
"Ow!" Mu Lan said startlingly.
Mu Liang calmly asked, "Wifey, what have you done to my mother?"
Mu Lan tried to coax him. "Hubby, your mother is also my mother. Do you think I will do something bad to her?"
He questioned her again. "Did you take her there just find a perfect partner for her?"
Bulls eye!
Mu Lan gulped down a mouth full of saliva before letting out a light smile. "How can that be? I took her there just to enjoy our bachelorhood."
He questioningly asked, "Oh, that was why?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That right!" Mu Lan replied firmly.
"It couldn't be that you wanted mother to match up with one of yours Cobra daddies would it?" After meeting The Cobra members, that's what came to his mind.
She was stunned before exclaiming in surprise, "What?! Yack! No! Where did you get such imagination? Have a little faith in me."
Even Lord Buddha wouldn't dare to have faith in her, how could Mu Liang?
Mu Liang resigned. He was out of ideas. "Alright then. Go to sleep." He put his right hand on her head and his left hand on her waist.
Mu Lan rolled onto his chest and kissed his lips. "Hubby, why don't we do something more romantic?"
He laughed. "Can you withstand it? Aren't you drunk?"
She proudly said, "Try me. Give me your best shot."
"I won't hold back then." Mu Liang flipped their position and pushed her down. He said in a horse voice, "Darling, you asked for it."
In the late morning, she opened her eyes, deeply frowning as she suffered from a headache. "I swear I will never drink again." She rubbed her head while sitting up.
"Where am I?" After looking around, she realized she was in her own bedroom in her new apartment.
Jing Sheng opened her mouth in surprise. She was so astonished that she forgot about her headache. She tried to remember what happened last night. However, after she drank one glass, she blanked out. She has no memory of last night.
"Could it be Xiao Lan? Maybe she sent me back?" Suddenly she thought of something and looked under the comforter. She was still wearing the cocktail dress from last night.
"I should freshen myself up." She got out of the bed and headed towards the washroom. After taking a bath, she wiped her hair and went to the kitchen. She found a plate on the table covered with a lid. There was a note beside it.
Jing Sheng took the note and read it out loud, "Miss Jing, I've prepared breakfast for you. I'm sorry I cannot warm it up for your when you wake up. Please warm up the meal before you eat it. Noel."
She frowned. "Noel? But why…" She couldn't understand why Noel came to make her breakfast and how she entered her apartment. She decided to call Mu Lan.
Ring… Ring… Ring…
Mu Lan could hardly open her eyes. She wasn't able to sleep the entire night. It wasn't until Mu Liang got a call from the company at ten in the morning, that he let her go.
Mu Lan whined. She woke up a sleeping lion. A lion that was always hungry woke up. She shouldn't have enticed him. Now, she couldn't move an inch.
She heard her cell phone ringing. She only slept an hour and someone was calling her. She tried to reach out for her cell phone, however, her hand fell back on the bed as she passed out.
When Jing Sheng realized that Mu Lan didn't pick up the call, she called Noel.
Noel answered almost immediately, "Miss Jing."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe directly asked, "Noel, did you come by this morning to make me breakfast?"
Noel was silent for a while before asked, "…You don't remember?"
Jing Sheng blinked. "Remember what?"
Her heart dropped thinking that Noel must have knew something about her going to the night club. She prepared herself for the humiliation. Her heart started to beat terribly fast as she waited for his answer.
Noel replied, "Nothing. Yes, you are right, Miss Jing. I came by and made you breakfast. Was it your liking?"
Jing Sheng sighed in relief. She felt like a burden was lifted from her chest. If Noel said that he saw her at the night club and brought her back to home, she could never face him anymore. Everyone knew her as a polite and humble person, she was just that. She didn't want to change the view people had of her.
She answered, "It's wonderful Noel. Thank you so much. However, please don't overwork yourself for me. I will feel bad."
She knew that as the Head Butler of the Mu Family, his work was three times harder than the average servants in the household.
Noel said, "It's nothing, Miss Jing. Please have a good day and enjoy it."
Jing Sheng smiled. "I will. You too, Noel. I have to go now. I'm hanging up."
"Sure, Miss Jing." Noel hung up after that. Remembering what happened last night, he smiled bitterly. "It's a good thing that you don't remember." He let out a deep breath. After that, he left the garden.
Altan Yul was laying down on the grass, taking a nap under a big tree. After playing cards with his three brothers last night, he's having a hard time keeping his eyes open. He woke up when Noel kept walking around the garden aimlessly. After hearing the conversation, he became curious. He wondered, "What could have happened that made him say that?"
