When Mu Liang woke up, his eyes directly landed on Mu Lan who was gazing at him without blinking. He reached out and took her temperature. Her body wasn’t burning; the temperature had subsided.
“How are you feeling now?” He asked warmly.
Mu Lan raised her eyebrow. “You dare to ask that.”
“I was wrong.” Mu Liang dejectedly admitted that he was guilty.
“Next time you disturb my sweet dream, you are dead.” She threatened him.
He didn’t refute; but he didn’t agree either. “I will die, no problem. But you cannot skip meals.”
He didn’t forget how weak she was after she woke up from the coma. Even Lu Feng said that her survival was miracle. Mu Liang believed that she could only overcome her weak health due to the elixir in her blood. It if wasn’t for the elixir…. He didn’t dare to think what would happen to her. It was simply horrifying.
That’s why, from the very beginning, he always cared about how much she eat, if she took medicine properly, if she had eaten nutritious food or not etc. He always tried to keep her be in the best condition. Even if she became as fast as a pig, he wouldn’t mind at all. No matter what, her health came first.
Mu Lan frowned. “You dare to force me to do something I don’t want to do! Hmf! Don’t talk to me anymore.”
She tried to get up from the bed but cried out in pain. Her body was worse than before. Her waist was throbbing so much that she wanted to cut off her waist. She glared at the man who was looking innocently at her.
Mu Liang did his best to reduce her temperature whole night, but he did nothing to take care of her achiness all over her body. He didn’t even give her any massage like before.
She was so used to living in luxurious life full of hubby’s love, now she couldn’t bare a simple ill treatment.
Mu Liang also had no problem in indulging her with hubby’s love and spoiling her. However, there were some times he wouldn’t let her do things which would harm her. At that point, he was very strict. Even if she cried and threw tantrum like a kid, he wouldn’t budge.
Mu Lan couldn’t take it and laid down on the bed with a twisted expression. She whimpered softly and buried her face on the pillow.
Mu Liang gently rubbed her back and kissed her head. He got up from the bed and covered her properly. “Sleep more if you want to. I will make some breakfast.” His tone was affectionate when he said that.
Mu Lan grunted.
Was she a machine; when he said she would sleep and when he didn’t want she wouldn’t sleep?
“I need to brush my teeth.” She grudgingly said.
“Alright, I will help you.” Just as he said, he gave her a toothbrush with toothpaste. After she brushed her teeth he wiped her mouth thoroughly. “Now, take some rest.”
Mu Lan felt like a prisoner. She didn’t say anything but gave him a death glare. Since she couldn’t move, Mu Lan stayed on the bed and dozed off once again.
Meanwhile, from a far, the two feet man described what happen between the Mu couple.
Mark Anthony shook his head as he chuckled.
Altan joked, “This Mu boy will turn out to be a great father one day.”
The muscled man quietly said, “As long as it will a girl, he will be the most doting father. However, if it turns to be boy, it will be different.”
Mark understood this point. “If the girl looks like our missy, then the Mu boy will definitely go over the top. But boys are close to their mothers. If the child is a boy and our missy keeps him company a lot, the Mu boy will surely be jealous. Just think about the father and the son are fighting over her affection.”
The two feet men shivered, “It will be the World War III.”

Mu Liang made breakfast and brought it to the bedroom. Seeing Mu Lan had fallen asleep, he didn’t wake her up. Instead, he freshened up and changed his dress.
After he came out, he woke her up. “Wake up, you need to eat breakfast.”
Mu Lan opened her eyes. She realized that this guy would stick with her about food no matter what. She sighed and with his help, she got up.
Mu Liang fed her spoon to spoon and she obediently ate them all. After she was done eating she said, “I’m dying in pain. If you don’t give me ointment and a good massage, then I will go out to the pharmacy myself.”
In Saudi Arabia, women were very reserved when it came to clothing. Even the foreign women who came to visit, they would try their best to cover their bodies with decent clothes. Mu Lan didn’t have anything to wear. If she was to wear Mu Liang’s clothes and went outside, she would probably ended up in jail; and Mohammed Akram would find her immediately.
Her threat worked greatly. Mu Liang put down the bowl and sighed heavily. “Promise me that you won’t do anything to catch their attention.”
By ‘their’ he meant Mohammed Akram and his cousin Alif.
Mu Lan knew that as well. She only snorted and said, “People make promise to break it.” She was totally pissed off and didn’t give in to his request.
Mu Liang felt wronged and affectionately cupped her face. “Do you really have to go that far?”
Mu Lan retorted back. “You are the one who enjoyed everything and I’m the one who is being tortured. Do you think that negotiation is possible?”
Mu Liang knew that if she wanted, she could give him trouble no matter how much he tried to detain her. So, he tried his best to coax her, “Lan…”
“Not listening.” Mu Lan moved her face away.
In the end, Mu Liang gave in. “Fine. I will massage your body. Lie down.”
