On the way back to Mu Mansion, the whole car was silent . Mu Lan still red and occasionally looked at Mu Liang who was sitting beside her . The more she glanced at him, the more she felt embarrassed, because Mu Liang had a smile on his face .
As usual, after they arrived, Head Butler Leo greeted them . He looked at his first young master and then young miss . Mu Liang looked brighter than the sun and Mu Lan looked miserable . Butler Leo felt sympathy towards her . He knew his young master teased her even they were out .
Head Butler called for Alice and Emma to take shopping packets in Mu Lan's room and ordered others to prepare dinner .
Mu Lan took a bath then went sown for dinner . She ate timidly without uttering a sound . She avoided eye contacts with Mu Liang . She tried hard not to make any sound .
Mu Liang, on the other hand, was enjoying her timid attitude . He felt like he was watching a rabbit eating quietly . He had an urge to tease her a bit but controlled his volition . He already teased her so much that she couldn't even look at him . If that continued than she might not want to come in front of him again in future .
After finishing his dinner, he went to the study room and contacted his family . He knew that the moment he registered Mu Lan into their family, his grandpa would investigate about her . So he called to explain the details .
But Mu Liang, never in his dreams thought that she was the girl that his grandpa would know in past even proposed her to marry into the family . If he knew . . . .
However, neither of his family members asked him anything about Mu Lan nor did they force him to marry a girl like before . They simply asked about his recent activities and Mu Feng and Mu Chen .
Mu Liang was surprised by their attitude . Then he understood the massage behind their behavior . As if they were saying that, 'Whatever you do, you have our support . ' Mu Liang smiled to himself then got up from his chair and went to upstairs .
He didn't stop himself at the third floor; rather he climbed up to fourth floor and went the east wing where Mu Lan stayed .
He politely knocked the door . Not receiving any sound from inside the room he slowly opened the door .
The room was a bit colder and it made Mu Liang relaxed . He looked at the air conditioner, it was turned off . He realized that Mu Lan didn't like freezing cold . She liked natural wind like he did . There was gentle breeze coming to her room from balcony and the windows those made the room colder .
Mu Liang walked closer to the bed and sat down beside Mu Lan who was sleeping . She was in deep slumber .
The day her unconscious body came to this mansion, every night Mu Liang would come to see her face before he went to bed . Today was no difference .
He calmly looked at her than he frowned . Mu Lan was in deep sleep but she had a troubled face . Slowly her breathe became irregular . Mu Lan started to breathe heavily and moved her body like she was uncomfortable .
Mu Liang wasn't sure to touch her as he was battling with the options, 'Touch her' and 'Don't touch her' . Then Mu Lan made a pained expression and tears started to fall from her eyes .
Mu Liang became rigid . His heart was in pained and he knew she was having a nightmare but he didn't know what she was seeing . He felt paranoid .
When he couldn't take it anymore, he hugged her and patted her dorsal to make her relax . For some times he did it and in her right ear he was softly telling her, "It's okay . It's okay . I'm here now . Don't worry anymore . I'll stay by your side . " Slowly she started to calm down and felt ease .
