Chapter 576 COOKING FOR HIM
Just in two seconds, they forgot where they were, whatever they were doing, why they were there, how long they were looking at each other.
The people around them and the place where they were all vanished. For them, only two of them existed in their own world.
After losing her memory, this was the first time she met him. However, just looking at him, she knew who he was. It was just one simple glance.
Mu Lan told herself, 'It's him.'
Whatever she was feeling, she didn't let him read her mind.
The man's cold voice came out. "Xiao Lan!"
Mu Lan blinked. "Who? How did you-"
His grips became tighter and he was about to pull her closer.
"Lan dear, what the hell you are doing?" Yan Su came forward and brought the two people out of their fantasies.
Mu Lan sighed in relief and thanked Yan Su in her mind.
That man came back to senses and loosened his grip. Mu Lan hurriedly stepped back.
"Did something happen, Lan dear?" Yan Su asked carefully. She suspiciously looked at the man and sized him with her eyes. She was preparing to beat him if her friend said that he was disturbing her.
"I just collided to this gentleman and my pendent fell. He just handed it over." Mu Lan replied casually. Even though her heart was shaking, her voice wasn't.
The man intently gazed at her. His eyes didn't move away from her at all.
His attitude made Yan Su uncomfortable. She deliberately said, "So that's how it is. It's okay to attract flies from street, but don't let your husband know about this. He might get drunk in vinegar. We will have a hard time then."
That man trembled. It didn't go unnoticed by the both girls.
Yan Su dragged her friend with her. "Come on now. We have to go back. You have lots of work to do. Have you forgotten about the party? Your husband is also missing you."
Mu Lan had to praise Yan Su for her tactics. She smiled and said shyly, "So what he misses me? I'm not going to spoil him just the way he spoils me. I will give him hard time. It's so much fun."
Yan Su said jokingly, "In bed you two must have lots of fun."
The girls went inside the car and drove away.
The man was still standing in the restaurant in front of the front door. He was in daze until the waiter came forward and asked, "Mister, are you alright?"
The man broke from his daze and ran out of the restaurant to look for Mu Lan. But it was too late. There was no sign of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan came home and buried herself in the work. She nearly forgot that she met him. She recalled this incident right after Mu Liang asked her if she had hidden something from him.

Mu Lan hid the fact that she met him. While in the car, she made a few calls to make sure if someone wanted to get her information, they wouldn't get any. She got to meet some influential people after the engagement party. Now she was able to use those power.
She coyly looked at Mu Liang and said, "Promise me that you won't do anything and the punishment is canceled, then I will tell you the secret."
Mu Lan didn't want to disclose the matter that she met that mad guy. Since she came back to Paris, she didn't have to worry about that guy finding her. She also didn't want Mu Laing to worry about it. He had lots of things to worry about.
Her past, she wanted to take care of it by herself. She had her own plan.
Mu Liang deeply looked at her eyes and said, "No. If you don't say, I will give you even more punishment."
Mu Lan was also stubborn. "If you punish me I won't tell you. You can't make me say it. Do you want to have a bet?"
"Sure, let's see who wins." Mu Liang accepted the challenge.
Since Mu Lan didn't want to say anything, she might as well sacrifice her body.
That night, though Mu Liang talked about punishment, he didn't do anything to her.
Mu Lan got some free time to take care of some unfinished work of the Island Project and a new online game. This game was supposed to be launched in the next month. The Online Game Department gave her a deadline. Before that time, she had had to finish making the whole game.
After she was done, she leaned back to the sofa and sighed. She glanced at the watch and saw that it was almost midnight.
She walked out of the bedroom and wet downstairs. Mu Liang was working in the study room.
Mu Lan didn't disturb him. She went to the kitchen and cooked her most special instant noodles. After that, she brought the dish to the study room and put it down on the table.
Mu Liang looked at her. "Were you hungry? Why didn't you tell me? I would cook for you."
Mu Lan said, "I wanted to cook for you this time." She served the noodles and said, "Here, taste it."
Mu Liang took the bowl and the chopsticks. "Thank you for the food." He ate slowly.
He was working for a while. He was a bit hungry and didn't want to eat anything. Since his wifey cooked something for the first time, he was very happy. His heart was melting.
"How is it?" Mu Lan's eyes twinkled to get some praise.
All she added was hot water and nothing else. However, it was the first time she prepared it for someone else.
Mu Liang smiled and said, "It tastes just it is supposed to be."
Mu Lan's excitement died instantly. "What is that supposed to mean? You should say that I'm a great cook. Why do I feel like you are giving all the praise to the noodles not me?"
