Chapter 752: DO YOU KNOW...
Chapter 752: DO YOU KNOW...
Mu Liang returned to the castle only to find his wifey sleeping soundly. He called out the nearest maid.
The maid was preparing everything for the young master's bath. As she was called out, she stood in front of him and greeted him politely. "First young master."
"Did first young mistress wake up while I was gone?"
"No, first young master."
"Tell the chef to make something nutritious for her to replenish her energy and remove her fatigue."
"Yes, first young master. Is there anything else?"
"No, you can go."
The maid bowed and left. Her face turned bright red. When she entered the bedroom to prepared for the young master's bath, seeing the first young mistress's bare, filled with bite and hickey marks, she felt extremely embarrassed. She even regretted looking at her mistress.
She thought, 'No wonder, young master ordered nutritious food for young mistress. She was loved so much that she hadn't woken up the whole day.' She rubbed her red cheeks as she walked into the corridor.
After the maid left the corridor, there was someone in the dark standing silently and observing the movement of the maid.
--------------------
Meanwhile, Mu Liang took a warm bath and put on some clothes. After that, he sat on the bed with the first aid kit in his hand. He took out some ointment and uncovered Mu Lan's naked body.
She was sleeping like a log. Even when the cold breeze touched her warm skin, she didn't react.
Mu Liang saw the bruises, hickey and bite marks all over her body. There wasn't any place left that he didn't touch all night.
Last night, even when he said that he wouldn't hold back, he was only thinking of doing it twice. However, Mu Lan seemed to take his words as challenge. She made him go on until morning. He simply didn't know where she got such explosive energy. When he got the call from the office, he was going to let her off the hook, but she encircled her arms around him, kissed him and sweetly asked for another round. As long as she asked for it, there was nothing he wouldn't give her.
When he was taking a bath earlier and he washed her as well, she was still awake, only she couldn't walk. But the moment her body hit the bed, she passed out.
He did put some ointment on her body before he left, however, after returning he thought of massaging her body again, gently taking away her soreness and achiness. After, he pulled her legs apart and looked at her hidden place. His expression darkened when he saw how red it was.
'I shouldn't have listened to her.' He thought in grimace. He used another type of medicine in that area and tried to put her in a dress. Earlier, he didn't make her wear a dress thinking her body was in pain, that he shouldn't move her body too much.
While he moved her body to put on the dress, Mu Lan whimpered from the soreness. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Mu Liang. She yawned.
Mu Liang was finishing buttoning her dress when she tried to get up. He helped her to sit up.
"Hungry." She said pitifully.
"I ordered something for you. Let's wash you up before you eat." He carried her to the washroom. After washing her face, she was fed her first meal of the day. She burped after she was full.
"How are you feeling?" Mu Liang asked.
"Better." Mu Lan smiled. She took out her cell phone and saw miscalls from Jing Sheng. She instantly called her back.
Jing Sheng who usually answered her call, didn't answer. Thus, Mu Lan sent a text thinking her mother-in-law must be busy.
She didn't even put down her cell phone down before the door of the bedroom swung open loudly. Jing Sheng was standing at the door.
Mu Liang and Mu Lan both were startled by the sudden outburst.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Mu Liang asked calmly. He already had his men investigate everything that happened last night. He surprisingly found out that Noel took his mother home and then he returned home to rested. In the morning, he went to Jing Sheng's house to cook some hangover soup for her. There was nothing suspicious about it.
But his mother's expression wasn't good.
"I need to speak to Xiao Lan. Give us some privacy." Jing Sheng simply ordered her son who was momentarily surprised to see his mother like that for the first time.
Mu Liang ordered the maid to clean the table. After the maid finished her work, Mu Liang and the maid both left.
When door was closed, Jing Sheng glanced at Mu Lan. Her face was expressionless.
Mu Lan's heart raced. She didn't think that her future mother-in-law would discover anything.
Jing Sheng moved closer and sat on the chair beside the table. Finally, she said, "Xiao Lan, I don't know what you are planning but this has to be stopped."
Mu Lan took her time to speak. "Mother, I don't understand what you are saying." She looked innocent as her eyes were clear.
Jing Sheng hesitated before asking, "Aren't you trying to find a guy for me? Am I mistaken?"
Mu Lan mentally sighed in relief. Here she was thinking her secret plan was discovered. Since Jing Sheng opened up first, she would take the chance.
"Mother, I don't want to find a guy for you. I want you to enjoy your life and have real love." She didn't lie. She wasn't looking for a man, she already found a perfect guy for her future mother-in-law.
Jing Sheng shook her head negatively. "I don't need those things, Xiao Lan. I'm happy the way I'm now. I can support myself. Didn't I survive the pain caused by Mu Lin? I'm stronger than you think."
Mu Lan didn't say anything for a while. Then, she opened her mouth to speak. "Mother, do you know that you have nightmares and you suffer from trauma of being previously tortured?"
