Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

The second woman shuddered. Still, she couldn't help but worry, "Are you planning to kill her when she is under interrogation? Isn't Yaozu's son Major? I don't think things will go smoothly if we add army."

Their meals were served, so both of them became quiet. After the waiter left, the first woman said, "If the army doesn't work, we still have political power."

"For a bi*ch like her, why should we go this far to let politics and the army clash against each other." The second woman clenched her fists. 'Why her? Why does she get all the attention?' She resented Mu Lan to the core.

The first woman smirked. "If Yaozu's son has the power to save her, let him try. But I doubt that he has that much power to save a spy from another country."

The second woman asked, "But she doesn't have an ordinary family background. Are you sure that political power will help you?"

The first woman brushed off her companion's worry. "It doesn't matter how influential her family is. If she is proved to be a spy, no one can save her. Anyway, she doesn't even know her family name. She is registered as Hua, don't forget that. Her parents are both dead. She has no family members. I will make her go where she deserves."

The second woman still couldn't stop being anxious. "But if she has any companion who is powerful and influential, there will be a problem."

The first woman pondered. "That's true. We don't know how many people she has links with. How about we do something that won't catch anyone's attention then? We will do something that will make it an accident and people will think that her death was natural."

The second woman agreed. "That's an impressive idea but what will we do?"

"Just wait and see." Her companion smirked evilly.

While coming back from the restaurant, Mu Lan seemed happy. She had a soft smile hanging on her lips. Ru Xin started the engine of the boat and told her, "You seem happy."

"Do I?" Mu Lan asked.

"Yes, you do." He said.

"It's maybe because I'm going to have fun." She giggled. She spread her hands on both sides and enjoyed the strong wind.

He asked, "Didn't you have fun today?" He felt good seeing her so happy when she was with him.

Mu Lan said loudly, "I did and I'm still having fun. But the fun I'm talking about is a bit special."

He asked, "Is it because I'm leaving? Little Lan, you are so cruel."

She said, "Ah, don't jump to conclusion. I would love it if you were there when I'll have fun. My fun has nothing to do with your presence or absence."

As they reached the island, they went back to their rooms to freshen up. Since there were children in the castle, they stayed as clean as possible. After finished bathing, Mu Lan hid the gifts she bought for the children. Afterward, she walked towards the living room. She met Ru Xin in the corridor.

When they entered into the living room, they saw the rice balls were crawling in the living room. The floor was covered in thick carpet and it was cleaned every day. So, Mu Liang let them play there as much as they wanted. The moment they saw Mu Lan coming inside, they started to call for her.

"Mommy!"

"Mama!"

"Mam…ma…!"

"Ma…ma…!"

They crawled towards her. They competed against each other. They wanted to see who went close to their mother first. Mu Lan stood at the doorway and watched the show; and so did others in the room. They were all interested to know who won the game.

Rice ball number one won the game. Since he was closer to the door, he caught her first. The moment he came close, he was enveloped in Mu Lan's warmth. He was so cute that she couldn't wait to hug him. She squeezed him in her arms. He gave her a faint smile and she thought that an arrow pierced through her heart. She gave her loud kisses in his apple colored cheeks. She said, "Mommy is home. I missed you baby."

Then the third, second and fourth rice balls came closer. The first one gave her a puppy look and said, "Mam…ma…" It was his way to call her to capture her heart. Mu Lan felt that her heart melt in that instant. The second one hugged her one leg and cheerfully laughed. Mu Lan felt fuzzy all of a sudden. She put down the eldest one and hugged the other two. "I missed you two too."

Since the fourth one was a little shy, he stayed close to Mu Liang. So, he was the last. It made him upset and he pursed his lower lip. He was going to cry. Mu Lan helpless. She hugged all of them at once and gave loud kisses on their cheeks. She hugged four of them in her arms and raised them up. Then she walked towards the large couch and sat down. She let go of them, but they still stayed close to her. They didn't want to leave her side.

Carlo gave her an envious glare. "Couldn't you stay out a little more?" He was cozying up with the youngest one who didn't want to play with anyone except his parents. And then she had to come and ruin Carlo's hard work.

Mu Lan grinned. "I was away for six hours. Why couldn't you get along with the fourth rice ball? Just admit your defeat, Carl."

"In your dreams." Carlo scoffed.

Mu Liang sat beside her and took the second and the third rice balls in his arms. "You took a lot of time to buy 'a few things'." He said.

Mu Lan smelt something burning. She said, "Hubby, can you not be like that? Even if I was a mile away, I could smell your heart burning in jealousy."
