Chapter 739: I WILL TAKE YOU TO PARIS TOMORROW

Mu Lan closed her eyes contently. "Mm... Liang Liang, this is delicious. Tell me honestly, did you want to become chef when you were teenage and took course? You are better than the chefs in the five-star restaurants."

Mu Liang put down his fork and answered her, "I started cooking when you were in coma. I was thinking that if you rejected me, maybe I would show you my cooking skill and make you fall for me."

Good idea!

Mu Lan was speechless. Then she coughed bashfully and said, "Hmm, I did fall for you just now. I accept your proposal."

Mu Liang smiled pleasantly. He knew that the moment he met her, he would not have a boring life. While they were eating, he said, "I've been thinking of asking you something."

Mu Lan absentmindedly replied, "Sure, what is it?"

He bluntly asked, "What did you mean by another father?"

Pfft!

Mu Lan spurted out the remaining food that was in her mouth.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" She covered her mouth and tried to keep her composure. She felt guilty for not saying anything to Mu Liang and yet, she couldn't bring herself to speak about it.

How could she tell him that his butler was in love with his divorced mother?

Though it didn't sound bad, but it definitely sounded awkward.

Mu Liang reached out and patted her back lightly. He asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Hmm." She took a mouthful orange juice.

In the meantime, she tried to remember when she said anything about giving him a new father. She recalled that she said something about it while sleeping. She sighed in her heart. After gulping down the remaining juice, she wiped her mouth and glanced at him.

She took his hands on hers and said softly, "Liang Liang, there is something I want to ask first before I tell you everything."

Seeing how serious and nervous she was, Mu Liang thought, 'She definitely did something terrible.'

He nodded. "Alright." He didn't point out that she was nervous. It might make her even more nervous.

Mu Lan took a deep breath to gather courage and asked him, "Hubby, do you think that mother-in-law has a chance to be happy again?"

Mu Liang froze before asking her back, "Why are you asking this?"

He narrowed his eyes and thought what type of clients his mothers met so far. He was keeping an eye on his mother from the time she started business.

Mu Lan felt awkward. She coughed to clear her throat and said, "I want mother-in-law to be happy. Look at us, without each other we cannot stay calm for a week. And mother, she is only forty years old. She will live another forty or fifty or sixty years. Do you think she will be happy living alone? A woman if she has a partner to love her and respect her and take care of her for the rest of her life, she can be her with him and with knowing her past, he will openly love her, don't you think she will be happier this way?"

Her mouth was dry after she finished saying that. For some reason her heart was racing.

Mu Liang was calm after hearing what she said. Then, he opened his mouth. "Wifey, are you trying to may off your mother-in-law without her consent?"

Mu Lan shook her head hurriedly. "No, no, no, how can I do that? There is no way I will force someone to do that. Of course, mother-in-law will marry the person who she will love."

She confidently answered, "Certainly, someone with a big heart who will take care of her both mentally, physically, spiritually and socially."

"And who will be the groom?" He asked.

Mu Liang was silent again. Mu Lan was looking at him with hope.

Later, he asked, "Do you have too much time in your hand? If so, you should study. I will take you to Paris tomorrow." He sounded a bit annoyed and grumpy.

Her little bit of hope was banished just like that.

She frowned and stood up stubbornly. She brought tears in her eyes and asked in a shaking voice, "Are you refusing me?"

Mu Liang was stunned. He didn't think that she would be so stubborn and childish about it. He hastily asked, "What are talking about? Look at you, you are crying." He stretched out his hand to touch her.

However, she moved away from him. She looked at him accusingly and said, "Why did you say that? Why don't you want your mother to be happy? Or do you want that only you will be happy but your mother has no right to be happy?"

Mu Liang pinched the space between his eyebrows. He was having a headache. He steadily said, "This is not what you think it is. I know mother. She will definitely not choose the love life. She knows her place."

Mu Lan narrowed her eyes. "And what is her place?"

Mu Liang gritted his teeth. "She is the mother of the sons of Mu Family."

Mu Lan's lips twitched. "So, this is the only reason who she let go of her happiness and be only forever? The only reason she is in this state because of your father." She wanted to say 'scum and bastard father' but she controlled herself.

"It's not that she doesn't have the choice. But she won't choose to be happy. Because of us." Mu Liang turned his head away from her.

"What do you mean?" Right now, she was too angry to understand what he meant.

Mu Liang clearly didn't want to say anything about it but since it could create a huge misunderstanding between them, he had to open his mouth. "Since she is our mother, the two powerful men in Europe, people will naturally target her with good or bad intention. Now that she is divorced and living on her own, she will be the easiest target. She may be harmed anytime. This is why, she won't fall in love with anyone; even if she falls for someone, she will avoid them. Because, if her beloved is hurt for the sake of Mu Family, she won't be able to take it. Her mentality is not that strong. So, as long as she is our mother, she won't marry, she won't dream to be happy. That's why, don't give her false hope."
