In the corridor, she met Pedro. Seeing her all recovered, he smiled and said, "I was going to see if you woke up or not. Looks like you are back to normal."
Mu Lan replied straightforwardly, "Yes, if it wasn't for you people, I wouldn't be in this condition. Where is Juan?"
Pedro was speechless. Of course, he missed her past self but her foul mouth also came back. The little girl with no memory had a sweet mouth. That was long gone.
He sighed in his heart in dismay and answered her question. "He is in the kitchen. Carlo has prepared breakfast for you. They are all waiting for you."
"Tsk! Now they know how to act like parents. How bothersome!" Mu Lan frowned and left.
Pedro silently walked behind her.
Mu Lan entered the kitchen and saw others were waiting for her patiently.
"Look who it is." Romano gave a wide smile after seeing her all healed.
"No thanks to you." Mu Lan sat down on her usual chair.
Her attitude removed everyone's jolliness. They looked awkward.
Mu Lan crossed her leg and asked, "Well. Care to share what are you people up to? Why did you have to go such great length to make me injured like that?"
Her behavior was just like before, like a spoiled princess. They taught her many things in the past but never dared to scold her for misbehaving. They pampered her since she was a kid and only girl in their bachelor family. Now that she grew up, she became more and more presuming. She became bossier than a cute little princess. And now, it was out of hand.
Carlo filled up her bowl with seafood soup and gave it to her. Mu Lan didn't even touch it.
Juan smiled warmly and suggested, "Why don't you eat and listen to what I have to say?"
Others screamed in their hearts. They couldn't help but complain in their minds. 'If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't behave like that! You spoil her too much.'
Mu Lan reluctantly took the spoon and began drinking the soup. The smell of the soup was appetizing enough. Once she tasted it, she kept drinking it without looking at the others.
Others looked at Juan, waiting for him to say something.
Juan opened his mouth. "Do you remember the gold key? I gave it to you."
Mu Lan stopped eating and glanced at him. "How do I have no recollection of it?"
Juan replied, "You cannot remember it because I gave it to you after you Antarctica adventure. After I gave it to you, you often spent your time there."
Mu Lan nodded. "Alright. What about this gold key?"
Juan said, "People are harming you because of the gold key and that's why I think I should take it back from you."
Mu Lan chew the meat of crab and said, "Even if you take it, I will still be in danger because the rumor says that I have it with me. People don't know the details. However, the Horse Master knew my identity. It can't be impossible for other people not to know my identity."
Carlo said this time, "You are right. There were some people who knew about your identity including him, however you already killed them"
"…" Okay, she had to agree on that.
Mark added, "Since we wanted to take the gold key back but you cannot get your memory back in any other way, we decided to choose this path. I noticed that you were so madly in love with this Mu boy that you could do anything for him. Pedro said that your memory can be triggered by him."
"Madly in love? Are you delusional?" Mu Lan looked at Mark as if he was beaten by a mad dog.
"We have pictures to prove our innocence. If you want we can show you." Shintaro smiled. "I already saved some pictures in my cell phone." He threw it towards her. "Here, watch it."
Mu Lan caught the cell phone with one hand and as soon as she looked at the screen, her body became stiff. It was her indeed. She was with a handsome man, cuddling together in a bed and sleeping soundly. The picture was taken from the Mu Mansion. It was winter and they were using a comforter to cover themselves. It might be cold but their expressions were filled with warmth.
Another picture was about two of them in the Mu Castle in Italy. Mu Liang was cooking and Mu Lan was sitting on a chair, waiting for the food.
Another picture was about her being sick. She was in the bed and Mu Liang was feeding her.
Another picture was about their ball dance in the party.
Another picture was her being his assistant. She was sitting on his lap in his office room and kissing him madly.
Every single picture Mu Lan was full of love and affection. Just looking at the photos made her face turn red.
She was confused and shy at the same time. She had no idea that she could make such a tender face and moreover she would act like a lovey-dovey woman with a man.
After a long time, she asked, "Did I choose that man myself?"
"He treated you very well and never let any opportunity go waste to say that he loved you. He trapped you easily." Carlo bluntly said.
Mu Lan showed a proud face. "As expected of my taste. This guy is handsome. His house looks luxurious. Is he rich? Haha… I hit the jackpot. No wonder I fell in love with this man."
Upon hearing her words, everyone else became speechless. 'Did she just miss the main point?' They wondered at the same time.
Mu Lan glanced at Juan. "So, you people thought that if he was hurt and I was forced to save him, I will be triggered psychologically and remember my past. Well, congratulation, your experiment became successful. Since the very beginning, I am nothing but a lad rat, ain't I?"
