Mu Lan opened her mouth. “Look, you can do whatever you want about it. I don’t want to be included in it.”
“You need to stay alert, little one,” Juan said.
Mu Lan sighed deeply. “I know. But you see, I’m getting a little tired of all this. I already ended it with those two witches. I got my family back. I have four winder children. I want to be with them and I wish to relax now. I had enough of everything.”
Mu Liang held onto her.
Zhuan Zhen said, “We understand that you had a hard time and finally you have everything you wished for. That’s why you don’t want to get involved.”
Mu Lan shook her head. “Mommy, it’s not about getting involved. I’m already involved since my birth and if I’m needed, I’ll back you up. My heart and soul are in it. I’ll come back whenever you call for me. But I just want a break now. Can I? Rice balls’ birthday is coming and I want to be with them. I don’t want to think of The Mongoose for a while.”
Professor Ryuren said, “Sure you can take a break. It’s just that, we are so used to it that we didn’t realize that it isn’t part of us. We forgot that you aren’t used to our life.”
Mu Lan chuckled. She wasn’t used to it, it was in her blood after the struggles she went through. She said, “You guys carry on the investigation, I’m not going to get involved now. We are going to bed. Good night.”
“Good night, Lanie.” Zhuan Zhen said. Professor Ryuren, Juan and Shim also bid them good night. After Mu Lan left with Mu Liang, Zhuan Zhen pinched his husband. “Are you nuts? She isn’t used to? She is more used to it than any of us.”
Professor Ryuren scratched his cheek. He was embarrassed and regretted what he said to his beloved daughter. “I will apologize to her tomorrow.”
“You better.” Zhuan Zhen threatened him.
Meanwhile, Mu Liang was grabbing onto his wife. “Is it okay to leave it like that?”
Mu Lan said, “They won’t find anything. They already abandoned him. He can’t open his eyes and can’t speak. Li Sheng can’t be a pawn to The Mongoose. Thus, they won’t leave a trace. If anything were to happen, it would come because of his mother. That witch and her family are included in it. Yesterday, me and Shin tried to locate her family members once again. We found nothing. She has only one elder brother who is missing after her marriage with uncle.”
Mu Liang tried to ease her anxiety. “But Juan already said that no harm will be done to your family. The government already thinks that they are dead. Even if they live using their real identity, it won’t attract unwanted attention. Your parents aren’t well known anymore.”
“There are still people who remember their faces. They both got attractive faces.” Mu Lan grumbled.
Mu Liang said, “Even if anything happens, Luo Yicheng will be there to take care of everything. The Mongoose won’t attack them with full force. It will let people know. Juan did say that they weren’t stupid.”
Mu Lan calmly said, “I know they won’t risk harming papa again. Also, even if they find the connection between me and The Cobra because of my parents’ existence, they can’t do any harm to me. It will turn into a political issue if they touch the members of the Mu Family. They won’t risk their existence to harm me. First, they need to figure out how that witch died.”
Mu Liang stopped on his track and made her halt and look at him. Then, he said, “Lan, you won’t be alone. I’ll be there to fight with you.”
Mu Lan smiled and hugged him. “Mmm… I know my hubby will be with me to the end of the earth.”
Mu Liang scooped and carried her light body. “Mhmm, you are right about that.”
Mu Lan suddenly said, “Liang, I want you.” Her voice was seductive enough to make his tremble all over.

The day before the birthday party, Ru Xin came back. On the way, he met Mu Chen and Hugo. The three of them came together and gave everyone a surprise.
Mu Chen was overwhelmed after seeing his beloved brother after such a long time. “First brother!” he strode towards Mu Liang at a lightning speed and stretched his hands to hug him tightly.
In the last second, Mu Liang moved away and the one who got the hug and smooches on the lips was poor Mu Feng.
Noel was ready beforehand. He covered his wife’s eyes. As a result, Jing Sheng didn’t have to witness it. Mu Jin looked elsewhere and grandpa Mu Cheng was boiling in anger thinking, ‘In front of everyone! In front of everyone he had to destroy my family’s long-lasting prestige.’
The Cobra members were speechless. They couldn’t believe that the King of the European Underworld was just lip-locked with his younger brother. Zhuan Zhen and Professor Ryuren didn’t know how to react. Jonah took a photo while he got the chance.
And again, Mu Lan screamed, “Xiao Ying your nose is bleeding!”
It wasn’t the end. Mu Chen laughed loudly and told Mu Lan, “I heard you gave birth to boys. Ahaha! Just great! Even girls don’t like you, so you couldn’t give birth to boys. Look how God is punishing you!”
The Cobra lost their cool upon hearing that. They made Mu Chen their greatest enemy. The Mongoose went to the second number.
Zhuan Zhen and Professor Ryuren didn’t mind. They thought that it was fun to be young and friendly.
Grandpa Cheng shook his head and thought, ‘Everything is finished. The family is doomed. I can’t look at anyone anymore.’
Mu Lan introduced Ru Xin to her family and the Mu Family. They thanked him multiple times to let everyone stay here. The rice balls were happy to have him back. Even the fourth rice ball missed him and came by himself to hug his leg.
