Mu Liang was stunned upon hearing her answer. Just like Mu Lan before, he didnt know what to say. He was expecting a reply from her, but he wasnt expecting that.

At first. he thought that he misheard her. Psychologically, what one wanted to hear, even others were saying something different, mistakenly one would hear the thing they wanted to hear.

Mu Liang thought that maybe he was to eager to hear her say yes. Thats why he mistook. However, looking at her determined eyes, he realized that he heard just right. There was no mistake. She really promised that he wouldnt regret her decision which meant that she was going treat him as her husband in future.

Mu Liangs heart shook. His intense gaze changed into loving gaze. He looked at the beauty in his arms. Slowly he stooped down and touched her forehead with his, then at her eyes directly.

Mu Lans eyes, as clear as water, just like sky would become clear after heavy rainfall, were gleaming as they looked at his ocean blue eyes. They were so close that they could feel each others breaths.

Mu Liang stroke both of her cheek with his thumbs softly. His sightly gentle affection made Mu Lans heart feel warm. She was feeling shy but she couldnt tear her eyes off of his deep eyes. She felt like she was drowning.

In a loving tone, Mu Liang said, Lan, Ill never hurt you. Ill always take care of you. Ill support you in every way possible. You will always be my first priority. So, please, never leave me alone, Lan. I wont be able to bear it. Just stay with me always. Okay?

For some reason, Mu Lans eyes started to get blurry again. Tears formed in her eyes. A drop of tears fell from her eyes.

Mu Lan couldnt explain what she was feeling. Her heart was throbbing painfully. In her mind she was asking Mu Liang, Where were you all this time? She couldnt get it. How come someone would like her so much? Her heart almost stopped and it was hard to breathe properly. Her eyes already turned red and swell.

When she opened her mouth to answer, her lips trembled. Her voice wouldnt come out. She just nodded her head.

Getting an affirmative sign, Mu Liang hugged her so tightly that Mu Lan was almost out of oxygen. After a very long time, finally, Mu Liang lose his grip. Gently he tied up Mu Lans untidy hair. Then he put his right hand on the shirt pocket and took out a silver chain with green jade pendant. The pendant was tear drop shaped, and the stop was gleaming. He carefully put it on her on her neck.

Mu Lan looked at it in surprise. Seeing her gaze Mu Liang questioned, Do you not like it?

Mu Lan looked back at him. Not answering his question, she, on the hand, asked him, Did you choose this for me?

Hmm. Mu Liang answered shortly.

Mu Lans clear eyes glittered. She happily answered, I like it a lot.

Seeing her smile, Mu Liang was at ease. A warm smile was visible in his lips. Tenderly, he stroke her head, then said, Always wear it. It is a good luck charm.

Before Mu Lan could say okay, Mu Liangs phone rang. Mu Lan was immediately out of his lap. Frigidly she said, You must be busy. I wont disturb you anymore. You should pick up the phone. Saying that, she hurriedly left.

For few seconds, Mu Liang was sitting on the sofa like before. His cell phone was still ringing annoyingly. With a chilling gaze he glanced at that disturbing portable device like he was going to freeze it. He looked at the name. It was Mu Chen, the youngest master of Mu Family.

Mu Liang received the call. With a cold voice he said, Yes.

Mu Chen who was used to his elder brothers cold voice didnt think much. He cheerfully asked, Big brother, its been a month. How is your day going on? What are you doing?

With a chilling voice Mu Liang answered, Digging your grave. After saying that, he hung up.

Other side of the phone was dead silent.

Mu Chen put down his phone. He was oblivious of the fact what was going on in Mu Mansion. He thought, Did I annoy big brother for some reason?

At the lunch hour, Butler Leo was in the study room to call young master for dinner.

Mu Liang asked him, Where is Xiao Lan?

As usual, in a polite tone Head Butler replied, Young mistress was playing with Lucy and Oscar. When the maids went to call her, Oscar chased them away. No one dared to go closer to young mistress.

Hearing that, Mu Liangs right eye brow went up. Then he got up. Before leaving he said, Im going to call her.

Going near the dog house, Mu Lang saw Mu Lan was sleeping soundly beside Lucy. The sunlight wasnt intense but laying down on the grass, the sunlight was over the head, it would make anyone drowsy.

As soon as Mu Liang stepped once toward Mu Lan, Oscar came closer with grrrr sound. He didnt bark because his wife and his new beautiful friend was napping.

Mu Liang frowned. He sat on his legs and looked at Oscar seriously. Then he said in a warning tone, Dont forget who let you meet your wife. If it wasnt for me, do you think you have enough luck to keep your beautiful wife? Now give my wife back to me.

Oscar scoffed like it wasnt for Mu Liang but for his own charm that he got Lucy as his wife.

Seeing that didnt work, Mu Liang used another strategy. He warned Oscar in different way, Do you think it is better for your wife to know that you have interest in my wife?

This time Oscar had no other way not to back down. He could only see his new beautiful friend was captured in his demonic masters hands.

Oscar could only mourn inside, Sorry my dear new friend. I could not save you from the demons claw.
