The boat stopped beside the dock and Juan, Shintaro and Luo Yicheng came down from the boat. As they came closer, Mu Liang and Mu Lan stood up to greet them.
Shintaro said, “You don’t look like you missed us at all.”
Mu Lan smiled. “I missed you so much that I felt like giving you a grandson. You could have given us another week or so.”
Shintaro: “…” His expression changed at her words while Juan chuckled and Luo Yicheng coughed to hide his discomfort.
Mu Liang politely said, “Please come inside. We have prepared dinner for you.”
“Didn’t hell break down to your little house?” Shintaro looked around to see if there was any sign of fire or smoke.
Mu Liang said, “I’m the one who cooked. I didn’t let Xiao Lan entered the kitchen.” If he did, the hell might have come down to their little house.
Mu Lan pouted. “It’s not that I wanted to cook or anything. Liang Liang never let me go to the kitchen if he wasn’t there. He thinks that I’ll burn myself.”
Juan said, “It’s better this way. Don’t you think?”
Mu Lan opened her mouth to say something but Luo Yicheng came forward and ruffled her hair, making her hair a complete mess. “How’s your condition? You remembered everything, didn’t you?”
“My hair!” She hurried moved away and brushed her hair with her slender fingers. “Nothing misses your eyes. I’m good. No headache, no injury.”
“Carl said that would be the case. That’s why he didn’t come to check on you. Pedro packed medicine that you might need during your journey and gave it to us.” Shintaro opened his bag and handed it to her.
Mu Lan took the small pouch and asked, “Are you going to brief me right here?”
“Yes, we will send you directly to China from here. We already bought necessary things you might need there.” Juan and others sat down on the chairs. Mu Liang went to the kitchen to warm up the food he cooked a while ago.
Mu Lan’s body stiffened. “I thought I would go to Paris first.”
“Don’t worry about it. We already sent a letter to your in-laws from your behalf. They are not worried about you or the Mu boy. They know that you will be in your honeymoon for two months. In the meantime, you will go to China and get the gold key. So, do you remember when was the last time you put the gold key?” Shintaro gazed at her.
Mu Lan nodded. “Before I went to Italy with them, I put it in my apartment in Beijing.”
Everyone froze and so did Mu Liang.
She noticed that something was off. She asked carefully, “What is it…”
Mu Laing silently put down the dish on the table. He looked at her nervously and said, “I told Feng to burn down your apartment after you woke up a year ago.”
Mu Lan thought that she heard wrong. “What did you just say?”
Mu Liang gulped down to moisten his throat and said, “Please don’t get mad.”
Mu Lan’s whole body shook. “You know I bought that apartment with my first income and I decorated the whole place just the way I dreamt it to be. It was my dream house.”
Mu Liang nervously said, “I know. I know. After everything is over, I will buy land there and build the building just the way it was and I’ll decorate your apartment just the way it was before.”
She gritted her teeth and said, “But it won’t be the same. My earned money…”
Mu Liang hurriedly said, “My money is your money. I earn everything only for you.” He already began to sweat.
Mu Lan glared at him.
Three Cobra daddies were having fun watching the two of them arguing. It was only two weeks of their wedding and they began to fight. Shintaro suggested, “If you need divorce papers, I can arrange it.”
“No need!”
“No need.”
Both of them said in unison. Mu Laing said anxiously and Mu Lan said coldly.
Luo Yicheng coughed and went back to the real topic. “I went there to see the incident by myself. After the whole apartment building was burnt, Li Shen took whatever was left from Xiao Lan’s apartment. There is a chance that he can take the gold key.”
Mu Lan glanced at him. “If you know it’s with him, then why don’t you take it?”
Luo Yicheng replied in a poker face, “If I do that then our enemy might link you with us. If you go by yourself at Li Shen’s den, no one will question your relationship with us.”
“She is going to Li Shen’s house!” Mu Liang already served all the dishes and stood frozen.
Juan said, “If you plan to go with her, just forget it. After she entered China, the Li Family will forbid you or any Mu Family members to enter China. Europe might be your territory, but China is their territory; and tell your brother not to take action against Li Sheng. I have a feeling that he has some kind of connection with your fake grandmother.”
Mu Lan frowned. “What do you mean?”
Shintaro answered, “Your friend from Qi House, she was drugged thrice and suffered a lot. Your brother-in-law found out that it was from the Mu Family and the only one who could do it was the imposter Mu Lin. But have you thought why would she do that?”
Mu Lan shrugged. “To make the grandson of Mu Chen and Mu Lin suffer.”
Juan explained, “That’s what we thought too. But Carl said there was something hidden in it. Certainly, she wanted the members of the Mu Family to suffer; but if Li Sheng, the Mafia Lord of the Chinese Underworld, wanted to take the position of the King of the European Underworld, then he would definitely go for your brother-in-law’s weak spot and that is your friend of Qi House. Thus, he could get some help from the imposter Mu Lin.”
