This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Mu Lan was coughing till she bent down and grabbed her knees. When she regained composure, she noticed a car was standing right in front of her. She slowly looked up and saw a face popping out his head out of the window.
"Big brother… Xin…?" After calling out to him, Mu Lan started to cough again.
"Get in before anyone notices you." Ru Xin hurried her.
Mu Lan opened the door and went inside the back seat of the car. She laid down on the seat and closed her eyes. "How did you find me?"
Ru Xin drove away and replied, "I had been looking for you for the past two months. Since I couldn't get you, I recalled that you told me to look for you in Hong Kong."
Mu Lan smirked. "Don't tell me you have been looking for me for the past two months." She started coughing again.
Ru Xin unhurried answered, "I was. Why are you coughing so much? Don't talk if it makes you cough. I'll stop by the hospital and-"
Mu Lan interrupted him saying, "Don't… cough! Just take me out of here as soon as possible."
"Okay, I will buy some medicine then." Ru Xin turned the car and drove out of the city. "There is a blanket under the seat. Cover yourself with it."
Mu Lan found a blanket as he said and covered herself with it. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. When she woke up, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling, unfamiliar room, unfamiliar bed and familiar surroundings. She was back to the Ru Family's island where she was taken a year ago and was poisoned.
Remembering the suffering she had been through, she sat up straight and she was alerted. She was about to get out of the bed, that's when someone politely knocked on the door. Mu Lan narrowed her eyes and looked at the door. She was ready to give a high kick to whoever was going to enter.
The doorknob was twisted and the door was opened slowly. The tray of food came to the view and then the man. It was Ru Xin. He saw Mu Lan looking at him with a murderous gaze. He was startled by her gaze and almost let go of the tray of food. "Wh-why are you looking at me like that? You scared me!"
"Why am I here?" Mu Lan asked carefully. She was alerted but she didn't want to jump to the conclusion before knowing what the other party had to say. She tried to act seriously but she began to cough.
"You told me to get you out of Hong Kong. You meant from Li Sheng's grasp, didn't you? That's why I had brought you here in my turf. There are only two of us on this island and no one will come to find you in here, not even Li Sheng. You can leave when you feel better." Ru Xin sat down on the chair and placed the tray of food on the table. He asked, "Aren't you hungry? Go, freshen up and then have your meal. You need to take medicine too."
"Thank you for taking care of me." Mu Lan freshened up and sat on the opposite chair. She rubbed her throat. It was hurting after coughing too much.
"I owe you a lot." Ru Xin poured a cup of lemon, honey tea and handed it to her.
Mu Lan took the cup and teased him, "It's not poisoned this time, is it?"
Since Ru Xin looked embarrassed, she said, "I was just joking." She sipped tea and in a minute, she felt better than before.
Ru Xin went back to the business, "After we left, whole Hong Kong turned upside down." He buttered the bread and put it on her plate.
Mu Lan chewed the bread and asked, "Why? What happened?"
Ru Xin, who didn't get excited easily, said, "Something bad happened to Li Sheng. His boys are searching for him like mad dogs. No one couldn't find him after searching the whole night and day. If I guess is correct, you fled from their place after something happened to him, right?"
"That's true. But if you ask me what happened to Li Sheng… cough!... I cannot tell you that. I left as soon as I saw a commotion." Mu Lan lied bluntly.
If he didn't mention, she totally forgot about last night's incident. Before she lost consciousness, she made sure that Li Sheng's body reached his family mansion in Beijing. She couldn't help but imagine how everyone was acting. She would love to see with her own eyes.
She looked outside the window. The blue ocean was calm and a cool breeze was blowing. She saw some seagulls flying in the sky. It gave her a warm feeling.
Ru Xin carefully looked at her expression. When he couldn't find anything to catch her lies, he gave up. He didn't believe her words. His heart said that it was something to do with her. She was such a tomboy when she was a kid, how could she become so innocent after growing up?
When he noticed that he couldn't get any information from her, he changed the topic. "I bought your medicines. I think it would be better if you went to the hospital for a check-up. There is a clinic on the first floor of this castle. I can help you with the check-up."
Mu Lan sighed. "it would be better if Jia was alive."
Ru Xin paused before saying, "If she didn't poison you at that time, she would be alive. Your husband is only soft towards you, not the other women."
Mu Lan smiled hearing about her husband. "He is the greatest husband."
Ru Xin raised his hands. "Spear me with the dog food." He looked at her stomach. "Have you noticed that you are gaining some weight?"
Mu Lan was wearing a fitting t-shirt, Ru Xin's teenage cloth. It was hugging her body so anyone could notice.
Mu Lan's jaw dropped after looking down at her stomach. For the first time in her life, she had to see such a horrible thing. That's what happens when someone leisurely spends their time and eats a lot.
