Handsome CEO’s Darling Wife

Carlo didn't have the strength to think of anything. He already laid down and closed his eyes.

Hua Lan caught the hint from Pedro. She looked around. "Where is Kilimanjaro?"

She was sure that the one who kept an eye on them was him, so that he could inform others what Hua Lan and Carlo were doing.

Carlo opened his eyes. "That damn dwarf!" He cursed.

The two feet man, Kilimanjaro stiffened his body when he heard Carlo's curse.

Pedro knocked her forehead softly. "Clever girl." His tone was affectionate. He took her injured hand and said, "Let me take care of your wound first."

Hua Lan obediently let him treat her injury. After her hand was wrapped up with white bandage, Pedro gave Carlo some herbal drink. Carlo coughed after drinking it and then took a nap.

After he woke up, it was dark and he was fully recovered. Since he and the little kid went along with each other, they headed back to Peru where the rest of them were there.

Everyone welcomed them warmly and praised Hua Lan as she could melt Carlo's dry heart. They teased Carlo to the point his blue vein popped up.

Romano grinned. "Carl seems like a real man now. He became a guardian. I never thought he would accept our little princess."

Mark added, "Carl even cried for her. I regret not being there myself."

Osiris said, "His stony heart found a new love."

Altan was present there as well. He said, "Carl even wiped our kid's tears very gently."

Others made a sound, "Aww!"

Carlo couldn't take it anymore. "Don't you know when to shut up?" He roared.

Liam commented, "He is adorable."

Everyone laughed aloud and didn't heed to Carlo who was fuming in rage. His ears were slightly pink.

Hua Lan said this time, "Carl is injured. Don't make too much fun of him."

Everyone quieted down and Carlo seemed unnaturally happy. His mood improved tremendously. His face glowed as he reached out his hand, "Let's go to bed."

Hua Lan was tired too. Moreover, she missed her soft bed. She took his hand and bid goodnight to others.

After the pair left, everyone sighed.

"It's good that these two are getting alone but why does my heart hurts so much?" Romano rubbed his left chest.

He wasn't the only one, others also felt the same thing.

Shintaro commented, "I feel like my heart is taken away."

"My heart is crashed." Osiris said in a sad tone. His looked broken heartened.

Juan smiled. "Alright you all, go to sleep."

Liam spoke up, "I had a question."

Others became silent and became attentive.

Liam asked Juan, "When will you tell her that Ryu is in vegetated state?"

Juan replied, "Not until we are sure that he will wake up. There is no need to give her false hope. She had suffered enough."

Osiris reminded Juan, "And the gold key."

Mark asked, "What about it?"

"I'm thinking of making little one it's keeper." Juan declared.

Others neither agreed nor did they disagree. They went into deep thoughts. They weren't sure if it was okay to give it to her.

Antonio who was as calm as water asked, "Have you talk to Carl about it?"

Juan nodded. "Carl saw how vicious she was when she punished those tribal people. Her whole aura was deathly and she rather enjoyed killing people. It's not a normal thing. She became a perfect weapon; wild and ferocious. The laboratory trained her well. No wonder they treated her better than other kids. As we talked, we realized that if we try to teach her what is good or what is bad, she will think that we are trying to control her and there is a chance that she will try to separate herself from us and she will become secretive."

"Yeah, she is a teenager now. At this age, kids are difficult to handle. You maybe right about her." Osiris agreed.

Juan Continued, "That's why, there is no point to keep an eye on her and make it more challenging for us more than it is now. So, we decided that we have to take her attention to elsewhere."

"So, you will make her a keeper so that she doesn't have time to think about unsightly things. Clever! As long as she agrees, I don't think there will be any problem." Pedro said.

After the gold key was handed to her, not only she became distracted but also, she became addicted. She got the key of the place where The Cobra hid all their treasures; and their treasure wasn't Treasure Island's treasure, those valuable metals and stones were one of a kind. Even the wealthiest emperor never saw such wealth in his lifetime.

Hua Lan was too engrossed with her new toys that she forgot her killing intention. She didn't get much time to play after her father died. Now that she got something to fancy about, she hardly left the island. She was there for so long, not knowing that her father was very close to her in a hidden chamber, in a deep slumber.

The Cobra sighed in relief.

Soon, the time flied and Hua Lan decided to leave the island.

She came back to China after having a huge fight against The Cobra members who thought that she shouldn't go there before she was fully adult. She not only went there but also met her aunt and her family.

And what happened next…. that was another story…

Mu Lan felt a warm touch on her right cheek. She smiled sweetly and snuggled deeply in the embrace of her beloved man.

Mu Liang didn't wake her up. His tender gaze was looking at her peaceful face. He couldn't help but lean forward and kiss her forehead.

Mu Lan hummed in reply.

When Mu Liang woke up, he wanted to have some exercise. But seeing her like this sleeping so soundly in his arms after so long, he couldn't bare to be apart from her.

He tried to remember when the last time they slept so peacefully. He remembered that it was in their mansion in Paris. They did sleep in Saudi Arabia but he was alerted all the time and Mu Lan was also wary of the whole situation.  

His greatest wish was to see her peaceful sleep with happy smile every morning.

But his good mood was turned off by a man who was standing in the doorway.

'My fathers-in-law won't give me a good time, will they?' Mu Liang sighed heavily in his heart.
