The door was open and Jing Sheng welcomed them warmly. Out of the five of them, Mu Feng was the only one startled to see Noel in the kitchen. He was wearing homely clothes and chopping some vegetables. He looked like a man of the house, a good husband.

Mu Feng asked, "Noel, didn't you leave yesterday?"

Noel was about to bow out of habit but Mu Liang and Mu Chen shook their heads. Noel awkwardly smiled and answered, "…I didn't leave." He couldn't say anymore as he had no idea how to disclose the matter.

"So, you started working for my mother." Mu Feng concluded.

Mu Lan bit down on her lower lip. She was having a hard time controlling her laughter. She didn't know why Mu Feng was suddenly acting like his brain had stopped working. Even an idiot would understand what was going on.

Jing Sheng nervously smiled at Mu Feng and said, "Noel isn't working for me. He will work with me from now on."

"Oh, you became business partners." Mu Feng understood and nodded his head.

Mu Liang shook his head and grabbed Mu Feng's shoulders. "That's not what mother meant." He said.

Mu Feng confusedly looked at his older brother, and then at Noel and his mother. After that, his brain started to work. When he realized what was going on, his eyes widened and he screamed, "You are kidding, right?"

After Mu Lan telling him everything and Qi Ying adding more, Mu Feng finally understood what was happening under his nose. He was totally speechless.

Jing Sheng handed him a glass of water. After drinking a whole glass of water, he wiped his mouth and said, "So much happened and none of you told me anything."

Mu Lan shrugged. "I thought Xiao Ying would tell you last night."

Qi Ying was embarrassed. "I fell asleep. It was so tiring last night."

Mu Feng had a hard time digesting everything he had just heard. The man he knew as the butler of his family since he was born, had suddenly turned into his mother's lover. Though it was awkward at first, he managed his emotions. He thought that it was better for his mother to have someone as faithful as Noel, rather than his own father. He asked, "What about father and grandfather? I don't think they know about it since I had no clue either."

The room fell silent. Mu Liang spoke first, "I will tell grandfather."

"That will be a good idea since he only listens to you." Mu Feng agreed. "But what about father?"

Mu Liang replied curtly, "He doesn't need to know now. He will discover it on his own when the time comes."

Mu Chen scoffed. "Does he even deserve to know?"

"He is the one who cheated on mother. He even slept with sister Lan Lan's mother's twin sister." Mu feng blurted out.

"What?" Mu Chen heard it for the first time. He was astonished.

Mu Lan's expression changed in disgust. In the next second, she realized something. She asked, "What did you just say?"

Mu Feng glanced at her. "Didn't you know? My father has a crush on your mother, but years ago, he mistakenly slept with her twin sister, that is your aunt."

Mu Lan twisted her lips in disgust. "Some taste he has. My mother and her? They are completely different."

Qi Ying looked at her in puzzlement. "Do you remember your past? Since when?"

Mu Lan nodded. "I do remember most of the part when I was out with Liang. I still need to recall more."

"It's good that you remember. Do you remember your parents?" Jing Sheng became curious.

Mu Lan smiled. "I lost them when I was only two. It's hard to remember everything."

Jing Sheng hugged her. "It must be tough for you with your family's love."

Mu Feng sulked and protested, "How come she gets all the love from you and you abandon us! That's not fair!"

Mu Lan stuck her tongue out, making others chuckle.

Mu Liang reminded Mu Lan, "Didn't you bring something to give to mother?"

Mu Lan recalled and said, "Oh, yes!" She opened her hand bag and pulled out a blue velvet jewelry box. "Mother, this is for you; your pre-wedding gift." Saying that she grinned.

Noel coughed lightly. Both he and Jing Sheng were surprised and felt shy. Jing Sheng pulled Mu Lan by her nose and took the box saying "thank you" in a low tone.

As she opened the box, there was a diamond set with butterfly design. It was simple and elegant. Mu Lan had once got it as a congratulatory present from a rich family. Since she didn't' particularly like diamonds. Thus, she wanted to give it to someone as a present. In the evening, she had suddenly remembered and asked Mu Liang if she could give it to Jing Sheng and he had agreed.

"iIt's beautiful. Thank you." Jing Sheng's eyes brimmed with tears.

Mu Lan smiled and said, "I'm glad you liked it."

Mu Chen asked, "When are you holding the ceremony?"

Jing Sheng replied, "We just filled up the registration form and I have so much work in the flower shop. In April, there are lots of weddings and we have so much pressure. We have decided to hold the ceremony in Autumn, under the cherry blossoms."

"So romantic!" Mu Lan covered her face imagining the whole ceremony.

Qi Ying also looked dreamy.

Later, while having dinner together, Mu Liang suddenly said, "Free your schedule for next week."

Jing Sheng and Noel exchanged glances before she asked, "What is this about?"

"This is a surprise." Mu Liang bluntly said.

Mu Lan looked at him. "Can't I know?"

"Then it won't be a surprise anymore." His answer was merciless.

Mu Lan glanced at Mu Feng but he grinned and winked at her. He was going to take revenge on her for the secret she kept for herself about his mother.

Mu Lan gave him a death glare. She knew that he had a wicked personality.
