That aside, Mu Liang didn't find anything offending. When Mu Feng was wiping Mu Lan's mouth, Mu Liang took it as elder brother caring for his young her sister. There was nothing wrong with it. Moreover, Mu Liang was relaxed seeing that Mu Lan was having meal.
Mu Feng always wanted a younger sister and he was used to say, "If I have a baby sister, I will spoil her like a princess." His dreams came true after Mu Lan came to their house. He was also guilty for harming her two years ago, so his attitude towards her was also better.
Aside those things, Mu Liang was thrilled when he saw the pictures of Mu Lan going to the lingerie store. He kept waiting till night how she was going to entice him. He was also prepared that no matter what she did, he wouldn't fall in the trap. But everything turned upside down after he saw her in the last night.
He really underestimated his opponent and miscalculated the depth of his love for her.
More importantly, the enemy's plan failed already. The enemy underestimated the bonding. Now this plan failed, there would be another one.
Mu Liang gazed at the man in black and asked him, "Did anyone have anything against Madam Mu?"
The man replied, "Women's jealously is vicious. After boss was engaged with Madam Mu, the Romano family had to take a huge. The ex-Madam Mu promised the Romano Family that she would make the boss (Mu Liang) marry their only child and would give thirty percent of shares of Mu Corporation. Basically, any businessman would take the opportunity. However, since it never happened and boss got engaged to someone else, they would be upset. Moreover, it's just an engagement and rich people are worse than poor people. The daughter of the Romano Family is perfect in everything, a proper marriage candidate for the heirs of the Mu Family. They might try to harm Madam Mu to get her place."
'Hmm… so the next target can be Lan. It is not the time to play around with the enemy.' Mu Liang thought. "Get the reporter and the professional thief. Find out who is behind this."
"Yes, boss." The man left.
Mu Liang began working and two hours later, he realized that something was missing. He was already tired and feeling even more uncomfortable.
"What is it?" He asked himself and took his cell phone to look into the stocks. He found a message which came in the morning. He opened it.
The text was from Mu Feng. The text was: 'What happened between you and sister Lan Lan?'
Just then Mu Liang realized that Mu Lan didn't come after him after the breakfast. Normally, she would always come and talk to him no matter how busy she was.
Today, she didn't even glanced at him, not even once.
There was a knock and a maid came inside with a tray full of food. It was snacks time.
While the maid was serving, Mu Liang asked, "Where is Madam Mu?"
The Maid didn't raise his head and replied politely, "Madam Mu is working in her study room."
Mu Liang asked, "Did she eat anything after breakfast?"
The maid answered truthfully, "She was served but she said that she didn't want food, so it was taken."
Mu Liang stopped working. He asked, "Did she eat anything before breakfast?"
The maid felt sudden chill ran down her spine. She shuddered. 'She didn't. She only had milk in the morning."
Mu Liang didn't ask anything else. The maid sighed in relief in her mind and hurriedly left.
'Is she mad at me and eating less because of it? She was speaking less and forcefully smiled in the morning too.' Mu Liang pondered over it and gradually felt upset.
In the lunch time, Noel said that Mu Lan had gone to the hospital with her bodyguards.
Mu Liang frowned and asked, "What did she wear before leaving?"
Noel replied, "Madam Mu didn't change into anything else. I asked her if she wanted to change, but she just smiled and said nothing."
'So she is avoiding me.' Mu Liang thought. 'Is she shy because what happened last night? Or did she not want to bother me?'
In the end, Mu Liang told Noel to inform him when Mu Lan arrived at the castle.
However, Mu Liang's mind wasn't resting and called Yan Su.
Yan Su was overwhelmed after getting the call. Her fear for her eldest cousin was genuine. She answered the call, "Eldest brother?"
"Did Xiao Lan had lunch with you?"
"…No, she didn't. She said that she had lunch in the castle." Yan Su was utterly confused.
Mu Liang expression fell. He said, "Order the best Italian cuisine and give it to her. Force her to finish the whole meal. Don't tell her anything about me calling you and I told you to do it."
Yan Su replied, "F-fine." The best Italian cuisine is around thousands of dollars in Italy. Did she have to spend the money for someone else?
Mu Liang caught her stammering. He said, "I'll send the money in your account."
"Okay." Yan Su replied. She sighed in relief.
Even though, Mu Liang didn't tell her, Yan Su took a picture of Mu Lan finishing the whole cuisine because the smell was making her crazy. After seeing that, Mu Liang was able to work without a hassle.
In the evening, Mu Liang was notified that Mu Lan arrived safely. So he waited for her to enter the room. As he was in the drawing room, if Mu Lan wanted to change and to bath then she had to pass the drawing room.
Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, forty minutes passed by….. but Mu Lan didn't enter the room.
It was past dinner time.
'So she was avoiding me!' He thought,
Mu Liang couldn't take it anymore and got out of the sofa and then strode towards the door.
