Chapter 784: A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS
Mu Lan turned to face him with a serious expression on her face. She strictly ordered him, "Prepare my dinner."
Mu Liang instantly saluted and said, "Yes mam!" Then he strode to the kitchen.
Unknown to him, there was a hint of smile on Mu Lan's lips.
After Mu Liang had done with cooking, he served the food. They both sat down to eat. He didn't want her to sit on the chair. So, he took her on his lap and fed her. "Wifey, I cooked your favorite? Do you like it?"
Mu Lan burst into laughter. "Oh my, you are really something." She laughed so much that tears moistened her eyes.
He practically had turned into her servant when he discovered that she wasn't talking to him.
Mu Liang relaxed his body. Seeing her smiling like that around him, that's all he needed. He asked, "Do you like it?"
Mu Lan nodded happily. "Yes, I like it." She took the shrimp from Mu Liang's fork and leaned on his chest. While moving her mouth she said, "It's delicious."
Mu Liang said, "You were exercising all day, weren't you? Have more." Saying that he fed her rice.
After gulping down the rice, Mu Lan asked, "What did mother-in-law say about Noel?"
Mu Liang stopped before moving his hand away. He shook his head. "She needs some time."
Mu Lan nodded. "She has some time in her hands. So, let's give her some time. You have already done what's needed. She needed a confirmation from her children that it was okay for her to be happy. For some reason, mostly because of her marriage with your father, she must be thinking that she doesn't deserve to be with Noel who unconditionally loved her. She needed a little push. As long as she isn't a masochist, my plan will work out. I wish Xue Lin was here."
Mu Liang suggested, "If you need her help then why don't you call her?"
She worriedly replied, "Her number is unreachable. I contacted her university and they said she didn't contact them for two months. I'm so worried."
He gave her another suggestion. "Why don't you use our men to investigate about her whereabouts? You can only ask Feng and he will do it for you right away."
"I know, but what if she doesn't like that? What if she doesn't want to be found." Mu Lan said thoughtfully, "But she never misses her classes though."
"Then you should definitely ask Feng's help." He wiped her mouth as she finished her meal.
The next day, Mu Lan went to Mu Feng's chamber in the morning before breakfast.
Mu Feng opened the door and seeing her he let her enter the room. He said, "Oh, sister Lan Lan, good morning. What brings you here?"
"Good morning." Mu Lan entered the room and walked towards the couch. After sitting on the couch, she asked, "Were you busy? Did I disturb you?"
"Not at all. What can I do for my cutie sister-in-law?" Mu Feng sat down in the couch opposite her.
"I need to find out Xue Lin's whereabouts."
Mu Feng cringed. "Oh, that scary woman.... I see." He took out his cell phone and tapped the buttons for a while. After that, he said, "Don't worry. Wait for it and you will get the news tonight."
Mu Lan smiled. "That's good."
Mu Feng asked, "Is it for mother's checkup? I think she is doing well after her last checkup. The psychiatrist you bought was very professional." He went into deep thought. Then, he continued, "But for some reason, I cannot remember his name and face. That's strange."
Mu Lan calmly said, "Xue Lin is missing for two months. She isn't in Germany either. She really made us all worried. That's why I came for your help. And about the psychiatrist, don't worry. Maybe you have been working really hard these days. It will be alright after you take some rest."
Mu Feng scratched his head. "That must be the reason..."
Certainly, Mu Feng forgot about Carlo. However, Mu Lan wouldn't make him suspicious.
That night, Mu Lan found out Xue Lin's whereabouts.
"She is in China! Why did she go there without telling us first?" Yan Su was shocked.
Mu Lan shrugged. "We are not her guardian. Why would she tell us where she goes, what she does? We don't do that either."
"But at least she could inform us by leaving a text! We were worried for nothing." Yan Su huffed.
Qi Ying smiled. "As long as she is safe and sound, it's fine whether she tells us or not."
Mu Lan bit down her lower lip. "However, I can't help but think that she is facing some problem. Why would she miss her classes? It's not like her at all."
Qi Ying suggested, "If you are worried, you can call her. Feng gave you her number, right?"
Mu Lan shook her head. "No, he didn't get one. She doesn't have a number. She isn't using her cell phone at all?"
Yan Su frowned. "Did she lose it?"
Mu Lan glanced at her. "She can buy another one, but she isn't."
"Sometimes, I think that she definitely lives in a cave." Yan Su sighed.
"That's Xue Lin for you. She thinks about nothing but books." Mu Lan said and three of them chuckled.
One week later, Yan Su went to visit Jing Sheng's flower shop.
Jing Sheng saw her and smiled at her. "Xiao Yan Su, how come you are here?"
"Why? Can't I come here?" Yan Su moved forward and hugged her.
"Of course, you can. You are always welcome in here." Jing Sheng took her to her (Jing Sheng's) office room and let her sit beside her on the couch. She asked looking at Yan Su's stomach, "But are you okay with walking around like this? Shouldn't you take rest more often?"
Yan Su said, "I was bored. So, I came here to help Ying dear. She told me to get a bouquet of flower for Noel."
