Handsome CEO's Darling Wife
chapter-596

'Men are despicable!' She thought.

"Forgive me, babe. I'll reward you." Mu Liang kissed her deeply.

"Mmff!" Mu Lan's mouth was covered but her heart was screaming. 'Who's your babe? You have no babe. I am not your babe! I don't want any reward!'

Her furious complaints were eaten by Mu Liang in the lake.

The Cobra member covered his ears. 'Ah! My virgin ears!'

"Go to sleep." Mu Liang tugged Mu Lan under the comforter. He was done giving her a full body massage with warm oil after the 'exercise' under the water.

"Don't want to." Mu Lan stubbornly protested.

She had slept in the evening, as a result, she couldn't fall asleep. She still wanted to talk about The Cobra with Mu Liang. However, he wanted her to sleep since she had a busy day ahead of her.

Mu Lan grabbed Mu Liang's wrist. "Tell me, does brother Feng know about this matter?"

"He knows. But don't mention about The Cobra in front of him. He will piss you off to death to make you ask them to join him." Mu Liang warned her beforehand.

Mu Lan nodded. "Alright. Another thing…"

Mu Liang sighed helplessly. "Lan, please go to sleep. You must be tired. You won't have energy tomorrow if you stay awake. Have you forgotten that you have class in the morning?"

Mu Lan shook her head. "I haven't. But I won't be able to spend my time with you from tomorrow."

She wanted him to accompany her since she wouldn't be able to do that for a while. After being pampered so much, it was hard for Mu Lan to stay away from Mu Liang more than necessary. Of course, to Mu Liang, her mischief, coquetting, adorable and lovable acting, everything was welcome.

Mu Liang laid down beside her and patted her rhythmically like a mother normally did to her child to make the child fall asleep.

He said, "I will stay with you in the laboratory for the time being. You won't be alone."

Mu Lan felt happy and sad at the same time. She was happy to hear him say that he would be staying with her. However, it upset her at the same time.

"But you're the one who will be lonely." Mu Lan stroked his face lovingly.

Seeing her gloomy face, Mu Liang's heart softened. He replied, "I won't. I will accompany you after work. You'll do your work and I'll do mine."

This way, he could make sure that Mu Lan was eating and sleeping properly. If he wasn't there to do that, he was afraid that she would starve to death. He learnt from the previous time when he was shot in Italy. At that time, he wasn't there, Mu Lan worked on her inventions without sleeping. If the Head Butler didn't give her food from time to time, she would have forgotten to eat too.

Mu Lan narrowed her eyes playfully. She asked with doubt, "Why do I feel like that you are going to investigate my every move?"

Mu Liang covered her eyes and said, "Sleep."

"Don't want to!" Mu Lan tried to move away.

Mu Liang pulled her in his arms and put her head on his right arm. Then, once again he covered her eyes with right palm and patted her back with hisleft hand.

"Not fair!" Mu Lan frowned.

"Shh. Go to sleep." Mu Liang hushed her.

He didn't stop stroking her until she fell asleep. In the end, he also dozed off.

In the middle of the night, Mu Liang was widely awake. His eyes became as sharp as a dog. He concentrated hard and finally was able to listen to something.

There was an insignificant mild sound coming from the downstairs. It might be a quiet sound, but there wasn't supposed to be anyone staying here; and also, no one could come here without their permission. If someone came here, there should be some emergency, but no one called him to notify him, nor did they asked for permission to come inside.

Mu Liang could clearly hear that someone was walking on the lower floor without restraint. It only meant that not only someone came without asking permission, but also came without alerting the security.

He couldn't help but wonder, 'Could it be 'The Cobra'? Did they know about what we talked about in the lake?'

Mu Liang's eyes became intense. He wanted to get up; however, his eyes landed on the woman who was sleeping soundly in his arms. She was sleeping just like a dead fish, knowing nothing at all.

He slowly let go of her, trying not to wake her up and soundlessly got up from the bed and walked out of the room. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take his gun that was attached with a silencer.

Mu Liang carefully looked around in the second floor and found no one. After that, he went downstairs. Since the windows were huge in the living room and the curtains were bound, in the moonlight, the room was lightened up in the silver light.

Mu Liang checked the living room, library and gym, but found nothing. Finding it strange, he then proceeded to walk towards the kitchen. His footsteps were lighter and he became more careful.

Finally, he was able to see a shadow in the kitchen. The shadow went close to the freezer.

Mu Liang quietly observed. As the shadow opened the door of the freezer, the light fell on the shadow and he immediately understood that it was a man's body.

The man was wearing black clothes and it was hard to see him without any light.

Mu Liang turned on the light of the kitchen without any effort. The room was filled with light.

The intruder had just opened a bottle of mango juice and seeing the light he froze on the spot. Then he heard a sound of a 'click', which meant that someone turned off the safety catch of the pistol.
