Chapter 560 Appropriate FOR THE TITLE
"Good morning, have you slept enough?" A mocking voice came from her left side.
Mu Lan recalled where she was and immediately sat up. She recognized this room. It was the meeting room. And the first thing she saw was a man wearing a professional attire.
"Shoot! I fell asleep in the meeting room!" Mu Lan's face was red in shame.
"And it's your first time too." The man said.
"And how did you come here?" Mu Lan asked while frowning.
"Stop asking the same question again and again. It's annoying." Mark sipped the coffee.
"Oh yes, you can do anything that normal people cannot." Mu Lan cupped her head with both hands. "But did I just fall asleep? I can't believe this."
"Don't stay here for too long. The lunch time is already over. I bet that he still didn't eat anything." Mark talked about Mu Liang.
"…Yes, he is certainly like this. I am going then. Thanks for watching over me." Mu Lan stood up and walked out of the room.
She didn't see anyone in the corridor. She stood in front of the presidential room and knocked the door before entering.
Mu Liang was sitting on his chair and looking at the documents.
Mu Lan asked, "Have you had lunch?"
"No, I was waiting for you." Mu Liang out down the documents and took the box full of food.
"You should have wake me up." Mu Lan said. She felt guilty.
Mu Liang smiled. "But you needed that sleep. Aren't you feeling refreshed now?"
She couldn't say 'no' to that. She was certainly feeling refreshed. "I'm going to wash my face first."
"Okay." Mu Liang agreed.
-------
While they were eating, Mu Liang suddenly brought the topic. "Have you thought about stepping down from the title as the head of the house?"
Mu Lan's hand stopped. She looked at Mu Liang with bewilderment. She asked back, "Do you know what you are saying?" Her voice quivered in excitement.
Mu Liang noticed that. He realized how much she wanted to step down from this title. He laughed in his heart.
How many women wanted to hug his thigh just to get the power of the Mu Household? And Mu Lan was already tired of it.
He answered, "I am serious."
Seeing his deep eyes, Mu Lan asked, "But who is going to take care of the work?"
Just then, someone knocked the door and entered without permission. They saw a dark face.
That person complained, "Big brother, I was calling you for so long. Why did you reject them?"
Mu Liang only said, "I didn't feel like listening to your chattering." After answering, Mu Liang began eating.
Mu Feng's face became red. "You are not my brother." He pouted.
"Brother Feng, come and join us." Mu Lan smiled and offered some food.
Mu Feng's expression wasn't good after seeing her. Because of her lies, Mu Liang pulled his ear. It still hurt.
"Who wants your food?" Mu Feng grudgingly asked.
"But I saved some shrimps for you." Mu Lan knew that his weakness was shrimps. But she didn't know why Mu Feng was mad at her.
'Did something happen? Did Liang Liang find out anything?' Mu Lan wondered.
Mu Feng slowly walked towards them and saw that there were indeed some shrimps for him.
Mu Liang ordered some extra potion for both of them. It was the leftover.
Mu Feng coughed and said, "Since you put so much effort, I will eat." He pulled the chair beside Mu Lan and sat down. "So why are your having lunch now?
"I fell asleep." Mu Lan didn't say any more than this.
"Didn't you fell asleep earlier last night? Why are you feeling sleepy in the morning?" Mu Feng probed further. He definitely wanted to punish her.
Before he could go make Mu Lan any more suspicious, Mu Liang interrupted him, "Why are you here?"
Mu Liang didn't know that Mu Lan was even more doubtful than before. 'They definitely know something that I don't. Could it be last night…'
"I wanted to tell you that I will be staying in Italy. You two can to go Paris." Mu Feng said.
Mu Liang and Mu Lan were surprised.
"Why sudden change of plan?" Mu Liang asked.
Mu Feng replied, "Ying got an offer in here. A big fashion house gave her such offer that she couldn't refuse. So, she transferred from the college to admit in here. She will study here and work in the fashion house at the same time."
"Wow! This is such good news. We have to celebrate!" Mu Lan was joyous.
"I will leave that to you." Mu Feng said. "And that's why I want to stay beside her and support her."
Mu Liang was silent all these times. He suddenly asked, "What do you think of making your future wife the head of the household?"
The shrimp from Mu Feng's chopsticks fell on the bowl. "Say what?"
"She has the elegance of the lady and more importantly she knows the rules and regulation of the aristocrats more than me. She is very appropriate for it. I think she is used to these things since the very beginning." Mu Lan said. She also thought that Qi Ying was appropriate for the role. They only needed Mu Feng and Qi Ying's positive answer.
"Are you sure about this?" Mu Feng knew that no woman would want to let go the authority after they got the taste of power. His didn't want Mu Lan and Qi Ying fight for the power in the future.
"I can't study in Paris if I have the title. I don't want to stay in here. I would very much like to stay in Paris." In the end, Mu Lan expressed her selfishness.
"I get your point. It is indeed troublesome if you want to stay in Paris. Then you will neglect your duties as the head." Mu Feng understood Mu Lan's point and sighed. "Fine, I will talk to Ying, but as long as you are here, you have to teach Ying everything you know."
"Of course, I will help her. And also, Yan Su is here too. We will both work together to teach Xiao Ying everything." Mu Lan nodded.
