Chapter 756: IT WAS YOU
All of Li Shen's tiredness washed away after he saw her beautiful face. She was deep in thought and scribbling something in a paper. She looked like a university student who was working on program, just like before.
He smiled and thought, 'Yes, just like before, when she was used to love me.'
But now, she could easily kiss a random man and call him 'hubby' right in front of him.
'You did it to make me jealous, didn't you? I know all about you. How can you fall for a man for his money? I know you better than anyone. You are not that sort of person.' He moved forward and stood in front of her.
Mu Lan didn't notice at first. She kept eating and writing. In the end, she couldn't not notice a gaze jeering at her for quite some time. She couldn't help but look out and saw an unexpected person.
Li Shen smiled at her lightly. It was his usual smile when he was a lecturer in the university. This smile was only for his Hua Lan who thought that he loved her and that's why she fell for him deeply. This smile was to lure her to him. However, now, he smiled not to trap her. This time, his smile was genuine, but the girl didn't buy it. She thought that it was acting.
It must be karma.
"You are eating alone. How about I join you?" Li Shen didn't wait for her permission and sat on the opposite chair.
Mu Lan wanted to say 'no, thank you!' but seeing him not to care what she thought, she didn't say anything. She quietly watched him to sit down shamelessly. She didn't give him anymore attention and began her work. After she came here, suddenly an idea came into her mind about a new virtual game. She wanted to write down everything she could before the idea disappeared from her head.
The waiter came forward and took Li Shen's order. Li Shen said, "Same as her."
Mu Lan's gobbled up the egg. Her movement was natural. She was neither slow nor fast.
Li Shen glanced at her. Knowing that she was working, he didn't talk. Right now, seeing her peacefully eating right in front of him was enough.
However, Mu Lan couldn't stand that heated gaze. She looked up. She was about say 'get out of my sight' but was interrupted by a call. She glanced at the screen and saw that it was Mu Liang. She happily received the call.
"Hubby!" Her enthusiastic voice made Li Shen choke his morning tea.
"Where did you sneak off again? Why didn't you take the bodyguards? Have you had breakfast?" Mu Liang's helpless tone could be heard.
Mu Lan excitedly said, "Hubby, I'm having my breakfast. More importantly, I'm in an important mission right now. I cannot tell you at this moment. Wait for me in the home, okay?"
Mu Liang raised an eyebrow. Generally, didn't a husband say that to his wife?
"What if you meet him again?" He meant Li Shen.
"Don't worry about it. Do you think I cannot manage a mad dog?" Mu Lan skillfully skipped the part that the person they were talking about was right in front of her.
Mu Liang asked her back, "Can you manage him?"
"Do you doubt me?" She played along with him.
Mu Laing resigned. "Alright, come home safely."
"Okay. Don't worry. Bye." Mu Lan cheerfully hung up. She didn't even glance at the man before and restarted eating.
"Was that Mu Liang of Mu Corporation?" A cold voice asked her. Instantly, the temperature of the room went down.
Mu Lan kept numb. She didn't feel like answering him.
Li Shen couldn't stand her attitude towards him anymore. He slammed the table. "Answer me!"
The people around them began to look towards them.
Why was she totally acting different from before? Li Shen couldn't understand.
Mu Lan's cool gaze swept through him. She only said, three words. "Go to hell."
It pained him seeing her acting this way only to him. She was even good to those drank men in the night club.
"Why are you pretending to be cold to me? Why are you behaving this way? Did Mu Liang threaten you? Is he forcing you to be with him? I know you won't marry him for money. You are not that type of person!" Sweat was forming in Li Shen's forehead. His breathing was become irregular. His emotions were about to explode.
Mu Lan's lips twitched hearing his questions.
Forcing her…? What a joke!
Did any woman need to be forced to be with a male god? They would give their love to have him.
She asked him, "Are you really a president of a big company? Now that I discovered your IQ level, I hardly doubt it. The more I look at you, the more I think 'why the hell I fell for an idiotic moron like you'? You are beyond my capability. Looking at your face takes my appetite away."
Saying that, she wiped her mouth, put down some notes on the table and left the restaurant.
What a spoilt sport! He totally ruined her mood.
While she was walking away, then, Li Shen realized what she just said. He stood up, threw the bill on the table and ran after her. He caught her quickly. He grabbed her hand and forced her to look at him.
He didn't care what the others were thinking or what her expression was. He asked, "Why did you hurt your sister? Do you hate her? She did nothing wrong. It was me who chose to marry her."
Mu Lan's lips stretched on the right side. "Sister? Heh, the more I see, the more I think you are an idiot. Who is my sister? Get lost!"
Li Shen acted as if he didn't hear anything. He kept asking, "How can you fight? Have you been training when you were gone? Is Mu Liang forcing you to go through all sorts of training? Is he hurting you?"
Mu Lan's expression was unreadable. She pursed her lips in anger. She sneered as she said, "The one who hurt me the most is you. I regret ever meeting an inhuman like you."
In her tone, hatred was visible. She was seething in anger.
This guy not only stalked her but also dared to touch her precious hand.
