Chapter 740 TAKING RISK

After he was done talking, heavy silence fell on the room.

After a long while Mu Lan opened her mouth. "You care about her so much that you cannot appoint bodyguards for her?"

Mu Liang replied, "I did appoint some bodyguards. But mother doesn't wish to be guarded. She wants to be free from us. But I still let the bodyguards follow her every move secretly."

She narrowed her eyes. "And did you ask mother-in-law if she wanted to have a new life with a new person?"

"How can I ask her that? I still know the one who caused her pain is my father." He always felt so guilty about it that he couldn't face his mother properly.

Mu Lan's tone became softer. "That's not your fault."

Mu Liang knew that too. "However, it's not a good feeling."

She questioned, "If she agrees, it won't be a problem, right?"

Mu Liang didn't want to play this game with her. He believed that there was no man in the world that could give his mother a peaceful and happy life. "Is there any man who won't take advantage of her relationship with Mu Family and won't use her and then toss her aside?"

'So, he is afraid of this. Maybe mother-in-law thinks the same thing and that's why she won't agree immediately.' Mu Lan thought.

She asked, "What if there is a man who can make her truly happy? A man who will sacrifice everything for her."

"If there is a man who can do that and ready to do that, then I will kneel down to him and beg him to make my mother happy." His eyes were resolute.

It shocked her. He actually promised to kneel down.

Mu Lan breathed out. She didn't know when she actually held her breath. "If I can make it happen, you won't interfere, right?"

Mu Liang frowned. He asked her back using her style, "But, if it doesn't go well, the one who will be hurt most is mother. You know that, right?"

The thing he was afraid of the most about his mother was this. She already got a heavy blow. Thanks to Mu Lan, she was able to get a new life. However, if there was another blow, even if it was a little, it would ruin her completely.

Xue Lin repeatedly warned Jing Sheng to take steps carefully. She even gave her "Xue Lin's theory of life"'Romance less life is the easiest life'. At the time of her treatment, Mu Liang was present. Thus, he knew the conversation between Xue Lin and Jing Sheng.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

If Mu Lan knew about it, she would chew Xue Lin's head.

Mu Lan nodded her head in determination. "There will be no problem. I promise you that."

Right now, she was playing gamble. If there was a single mistake, both pure hearts would be ruined. They were both precious to her. She didn't want any harm to happen. She could feel Mu Liang's worry. She knew that it could affect their relationship. But she still wanted to take the risk.

She came forward and grabbed Mu Liang's hand. "Trust me."

"I do trust you." Mu Liang said. "But don't take risk."

"I'll call Xue Lin." Mu Lan patted his hands.

He tightly held her hands. "I'll leave everything to you then. If you need my help ask me anytime."

Mu Lan nodded. She suddenly felt that her shoulders were heavy. 'Too much pressure. I cannot breathe.' She thought. This responsibility was too heavy.

She hugged him and said, "I won't let you down."

It was as if she was promising to herself, not him.

Mu Liang buried his face on her stomach and took a deep breath. He started to calm down.

This was the first time they argued so seriously about something. But in the end, they recoiled so quickly. If they weren't understanding and talked it out without hiding what was in their minds, it could turn into a huge matter.

Since they loved each other, there was no point of doing anything that would hurt both of them.

While they were enjoying each other's warm, Mu Lan's stomach made a 'growl' sound.

What a party pooper!

To her embarrassment, Mu Liang pulled her on his lap and said, "You ate early last night. Have another egg and some sausages." while feeding her.

As she ate from his hand, she put her head on his shoulder. She chewed slowly and found pleasure being spoiled. However, in her head, she already started making plans. There was no way she could do this without other's approval.

"So, you are saying that you want them together." Yan Su came to conclusion.

"That's right." Mu Lan nodded.

Qi Ying who was doing the paper works, glanced at Mu Lan. "Do you have a backup plan? I don't want to take any risk. We are talking about our mother-in-law, after all."

Yan Su spoke, "I totally agree. But I can already smell love in the air." She acted as if she was someone expert in this field. She said mysteriously, "I can foresee something erotic is going to happen."

-_-

Mu Lan and Qi Ying were speechless.

Mu Lan coughed to clear her throat and said, "Hello, we didn't take our first move yet. I called Xue Lin multiple times, but she is out of reach. Do you guys know where she went?"

Qi Ying shook her head. "I have no idea."

Mu Lan explained her backup plan. "I would be better if she was here. If something bad is to happen, I will let her hypnotize both of them and erase their memories. Everything will go back to normal."

"What a lame backup plan!" Yan Su criticized.

Mu Lan retorted, "Do you have a better plan? I'm already risking my relationship with your cousin."

"And you are going to drag us down with you." Yan Su commented.

"I swear that I will take everything in my head." Mu Lan promised.
