Chapter 492: I'M ALL OUT OF LOVE

Mu Lan came to the castle before dinner. Yesterday, she discovered a secret passage in her study room which led to the end of the castle. She was excited to use it and thus she took the secret passage to go to her study room in the evening without anyone's notice. When she had finished the rest of her work, it was past dinner time. She leaned back on the chair while closing her eyes. She needed some rest.

Just then, the door was opened and Noel entered the room. Mu Lan sat up straight as she watched him entering the room.

Noel was startled seeing Mu Lan in the room. He deeply bowed and said, "M-madam Mu, I'm so sorry for not knocking. I didn't know that you returned. No one notified me."

Mu Lan smiled. "It's not a problem. Have you come to take the papers away?" She didn't let him know that she knew the secret passage.

Noel glanced at the papers those were done. "Are you finished, Madam Mu? Expended! I'll arrange them accordingly. Have you had dinner?"

Mu Lan lied bluntly. "Yes, has everyone else had dinner?"

"They did." Noel was arranging the papers.

Suddenly the door was opened with a loud bang that startled Mu Lan and Noel greatly, and Mu Feng entered. "Ah! Sister Lan Lan, you are here! I thought you were in the hospital. You scared me!" He rubbed his chest.

Mu Lan: "..."

Noel: "..."

Who was supposed to be scared actually?

"I came back. Why are you here?" Mu Lan asked.

Mu Feng sat on the sofa. "I was looking for Noel and a maid said that he was in your study room." He glanced at Noel. "Are you busy after this, Noel?"

Noel politely replied, "No, second young master. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Yes, I need you to create a large flower garden in the east, close to the lake. Tell the laborer to start working from tomorrow. Ask mother what kind of flower she wants to cultivate."

"Yes, second young master." Noel replied.

Mu Lan cheered. "Flower garden for mother, that's wonderful. I was thinking of buying a piece of land for her. You save my money."

"Though mother divorced father, she is still my mother, I can give her my land, she has every right to use it." Mu Feng replied.

"Did she agree?" Mu lank knew Jing Sheng very well. After divorce, she didn't even want to stay in the castle. Grandfather Mu Cheng requested her and she didn't have the heart to say 'no'. She wouldn't want the land either.

Mu Feng said, "Huh, who do you think I am? Everyone is bound to fall for my charm."

The way he said it, it made Mu Lan twist her face. "Sorry that I asked."

"How is Ying?" Mu Feng asked.

"Xiao Ying is doing great. She can speak a full sentence now. She will be cured in no time. Yan Su and Xue Lin are giving her time. She isn't bored at all." Mu Lan stood up.

"Do you have any other work to do?" Mu Feng stood up as well.

"No. I want to go outside for a stroll." Mu Lan answered.

"Then let's go to the biggest bar in Florence city." Mu Feng naturally took her hand and headed towards the door.

"You mean the bar outside the castle." Mu Lan is handling the properties of Mu Family, so she had a good idea about it.

"My sis is so smart." Mu Feng said.

After they reached there, Mu Feng ordered whiskey for himself and bloody mary for Mu Lan.

Mu Lan glanced at the outside. They were in the fourth floor. Since they sat in the balcony, she had a clear view of the outside scenery. The wind blew and her hair tickled her ears.

"I can smell food." Mu Lan commented.

Mu Feng replied, "The fourth floor is especial. It has both bar and restaurant. Do you want to eat something?"

Mu Lan nodded. "Something spicy."

"I will order it for you." Mu Feng went to the kitchen and asked the cook to give them food.

In the meantime, Noel finished his work in Mu Lan's study room and went to Mu Laing's chamber to let him know that Mu Lan had returned safely.

An hour later, Mu Feng and Mu Lan were drunk. Hugging each other's shoulders they went downstairs. The servants who were drinking there, immediately left after seeing them. Neither one of them the dare to look at them nor did they gossiped.

The both siblings-in-law walked side by side, shoulder to shoulder and sang their lungs out.

"I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you | I know you were right, believing for so long | I'm all out love, what am I without you | I can't be too late, to say that I was so wrong....." Mu Feng didn't realize that his voice was off tune.

Mu Lan couldn't stay out of it. Her voice joined him, "I'm lying alone with my head on the phone | thinking of you till it hurts | I know you hurt too but what else can we do | tormented and torn apart | I wish I could carry your smile in my heart | for times when my life seems so low | it would make me believe what tomorrow could bring | when today doesn't really know | doesn't really know...."

Both siblings-in-law duo sang in unison, "I'm all out love, I'm so lost without you | I know you were right, believing for so long | I'm all out love, what am I without you | I can't be too late, to say that I was so wrong....."

One had a sweet voice and another one was off tune. It was a sight to see.

For some unknown reason they were crying. Both of them looked like broken heartened as they sang.

Mu Liang discovered them in this sight. If anyone could see his expression.
