Chapter 672: OFFENCE IS THE BEST DEFENSE

Mu Lan shoved away Shintaro's hand. "I forgot to ask, if I really love this man and you guys still care for me, why didn't you give him the elixir?"

Mark replied, "If we gave him the elixir, you wouldn't get your memory back."

Mu Lan shrugged. "Your planned failed anyway."

Mark shook his head dejectedly. "We didn't know the result beforehand."

"But he knew." Mu Lan pointed out at Juan. "He can read the future. Are you kidding me?"

Juan opened his mouth. "We broke the code for you many times. Of course, if there wasn't another option, I would have let the Mu boy have the elixir, but we would force him to be one of us later on. Once he is one of us, he is always one of us. He cannot quit. But, there was an antidote and you were capable enough to bring it back. Of course, getting your memory back was also the other part of the plan. Moreover, you didn't let go of your pride and didn't beg for the elixir and you knew that we cannot give him the elixir so casually. Since you agreed, there was no reason for us to stop you."

Mu Lan held her head with both of her hands. She lamented, "How stupid I became after losing my memory!"

Of course, her love-struck self wouldn't agree with her teenage self. If Mu Liang did take the elixir, he had to be one of The Cobra members. He had to go for intense training for years and that Mu Lan could never agree on. During the time of training, the trainee could not meet anyone except for the trainer. Mu Lan became soulless when she couldn't get to see him for a week. She would definitely not let Mu Liang stay away from her for a day let alone years.

Thus, even if it hurt her, she would look for the antidote, knowing that elixir could cure him.

Mu Liang felt that he was sleeping for a decade. His body was telling him to sleep more, but thinking of his wifey's sweet face, he didn't want to stay in the darkness any longer.

When he felt her sweet touch, he slowly opened his eyes. He wished to see his wifey badly.

What he didn't imagine, was to see a pair of red eyes.

Something stuck on his throat, he could feel that.

Soon he came back to his senses and sat up hurriedly. He reached out his hand and asked in concern, "Lan, what happened to you?"

The moment he reached out his right hand, Mu Lan moved away from him. "Wow! Mister, don't attack as soon as you wake up. It's not good for my heart and your body. I have a good impression of you. So, don't try to smear it."

Pedro left her to keep an eye on Mu Liang, so she was staying beside him for two hours. She passed her time by looking at him, admiring his beauty and sometimes, touching his face like a greedy woman while grinning. She was having fun while touching him, who knew that after he woke up, he would try to touch her? That gave her a small fright. But soon she got over it. She didn't want him to realize the face that she was touching him, so she accused him first.

'Offense is the best defense.' She thought.

Mu Liang didn't know if he was having a nightmare. At first, it was her pair of red eyes, and second, she was talking to him as of he was a stranger. He firmly believed that it was her, at the same time, he knew that it wasn't her. He realized that while he was unconscious, something happened to her that changed her entirely.

"Lan, do you know who I am?" He asked carefully.

"I know. You are handsome and rich. You are called Mu Liang. You are from my country." Mu Lan took an apple from the table and chomped on it.

Mu Liang's eyes dimmed. Then, he looked around and asked, "Where is this place?"

"It's my house. You just woke up. Do you want to brush your teeth first or you want to eat? You stomach is empty for so long." In a blink of the eyes, she finished the apple.

"How long was I unconscious?" Mu Liang had a hard time to breathe. He felt like, he couldn't stay calm for so long after seeing her like that. He was already sweating.

"Ah, about that, I don't know. You see, I lost my current memories. Memories of seven years are just gone." Mu Lan pointed out her head and grinned.

Mu Liang didn't fell like laughing at all. He asked, "Is there a doctor?"

"Oh, there is. Sit for a while and eat some fruits." She gave him a basket full of fruits and turned to leave.

At that time, Mu Liang caught her hand. Electricity ran through her body, making her feel numb. She retracted her hand quickly and said, "Dude, do you want me to kill you? Stop talking advantage of me!"

And who was taking advantage of whom while someone was sleeping?

"I'm sorry. My hand moved before my head could realize." Mu Liang said politely.

"Hmf!" Seeing his innocent face, she just huffed and left the room.

Mu Liang looked down on his right palm. The warmth of her wrist was still lingering on his palm. While he looking at it, a droplet of tear fell on his palm. He wiped his tears hurriedly. He didn't want anyone to see him broken. When she was being unfamiliar, he tightly wanted to hug her and wanted to say, "It's me, your Liang Liang. How did you forget me? What happened to you? What did Akram do to you? What do I have to do to get you back?"

However, the moment he heard that she lost her memories of seven years, he realized that all of these questions of his were meaningless. Even if he asked her, she couldn't answer.
