Chapter 738: THE NEW HOUSE

When Jing Sheng unlocked the door, Mu Lan asked, "Who lives in there?' She pointed out the opposite direction.

"I asked others. It seems to be empty for years. The owner never came here after buying it." Jing Sheng sighed. "Rich people always have their ways to spend money unnecessarily."

Mu Lan was speechless.

Even if it was true, at least Jing Sheng who lived in a castle shouldn't say that. Then again, she never got to taste the richness. Maybe she had the right to say that.

They ordered a takeout after they organized the kitchen. They filled their stomach and after that decorated the whole house. When they finished, it was almost evening.

Both of them were exhausted. Mu Lan sent a text to Mu Liang.

'I won't be able to go back today. Sleep early. Good night. Zzz'

Mu Liang didn't reply.

Thinking that he was busy, she tossed her cell phone on the sofa. She stretched her hands and said, "Mother, I'm tired. I want to sleep."

Jing Sheng said from the kitchen, "The soup is ready. Come and eat first before you lie down."

Mu Lan carried her exhausted body to the kitchen and sat on a chair. While she was eating, the calling bell rang.

Jing Sheng stood up and said, "I'll check it out."

At first, Mu Lan thought it was Mu Liang. But then, she saw Noel to enter the kitchen.

"Noel?" She was puzzled.

Noel humbly replied, "I was going to leave the luggage I brought. But Miss Jing insisted to have dinner here."

Mu Lan nodded and told him to take seat. The three of them silently finished their meal. They were too tired to speak. After finishing her meal, Mu Lan laid down on the sofa and immediately fell asleep.

Noel wiped his mouth and saw his first young mistress was in deep sleep. "I thought I would offer her a lift."

"Let her sleep here." Jing Sheng yawned. "I'm sleepy too. I will be in my room. Noel you don't have to unpack. You should go home too."

Noel smiled sadly. He was thinking, 'Without you, that place cannot be called home.'

But he nodded and said, "Then I will take my leave." He stood up and walked to the entrance. He opened the door and was momentarily startled.

Mu Liang was standing outside the door.

Noel came to senses and greeted him, "First Young Master!"

"You are leaving." Mu Liang stated.

"…Yes." Noel answered.

"Wait for me in the downstairs." After Mu Liang said that, he entered the room.

Jing Sheng was going to the bedroom. Seeing her eldest son coming in, she smiled and said, "You came to take Xiao Lan, didn't you?"

"Yes." His eyes landed on the girl in the sofa. "Has she eaten?"

"She did. What about you? You are sweating so much. Are you okay?" No matter how tired a mother was, when her child was sweating in front of her, she would be concerned.

"I was walking." Mu Liang walked all the way in here. He simply wanted to enjoy the view of the city before meeting his beloved.

"Why did you do that? What if something happened to you? You cannot be reckless like this in the future." Jing Sheng chided him.

"Relax mother, I had my bodyguards with me." Mu Liang said.

"You didn't answer. Did you have dinner?" She asked.

"No." he replied truthfully.

Jing Sheng was concerned, "I still have some soup left. Before leaving, finish it. Let me serve you the soup..."

Mu Liang interrupted her. "Don't bother with it. Go to sleep. I'll eat before leaving with Xiao Lan."

Jing Sheng agreed. "Alright. Good night Xiao Liang."

"Good night, mother." Mu Liang went to the kitchen, finished the soup and then went to the living room. He took the sleeping beauty and carried her downstairs.

Noel was waiting beside his car. Seeing Mu Liang carrying Mu Lan, he opened the door of the car for them.

They drove off. Inside the car, Mu Lan who was deep in sleep was hugged by the man she loved. Looking at them, Noel thought, 'If only everyone was as lucky as them.'

After they reached, Mu Liang took her directly to the chamber. He ordered the maid so prepare a hot bath. Later, he took off both of their clothes and too her to the bathroom. While he was washing her, Mu Lan stirred a little and opened her eyes.

"Liang Liang?" She thought that she was dreaming.

He kissed her forehead and replied, "Mmm, aren't you tired? Go back to sleep. I will take care of you."

"Okay." She nodded obediently and again closed her eyes.

Realizing how tired she was, Mu Liang was extra gentle.

The next day, when Mu Lan woke up, the birds were chirping. She stretched out her hands and legs and yawned. The summer breeze blew inside and touched her face.

"This is refreshing." She commented.

Mu Liang entered the room with a tray in his hands. "You are awake." He stated. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, wait..." She realized. "We are in our bedroom."

Mu Liang smirked and replied, "That's correct."

"You took me home after I fell asleep." She looked down at her sleeping clothes that he changed after bathing her and she thought for a moment. "Then, mother-in-law is alone." She softly murmured. Maybe she didn't have to worry if Noel visited her secretly.

Mu Liang didn't hear her. He put down the breakfast and said, "Go, wash your face before your breakfast gets cold."

For some reason, he specially cooked Italian baked eggs and sausages. He made espresso for himself and orange juice for Mu Lan since she didn't like bitter taste.

Mu Lan snapped out of daze and got up. After she went to the washroom, he shook his head. 'Really, what is she thinking?'

They sat together and had their meal.

Mu Lan closed her eyes contently. "Mm... Liang Liang, this is delicious. Tell me honestly, did you want to become chef when you were teenage and took course? You are better than the chefs in the five-star restaurants."
