Mu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Mu Lan, if you don't know how to take care of yourself, should your husband hire a baby sitter for you?"

Mu Lan gulped down a mouthful saliva. She grabbed his hand and said, "H-hubby, please don't put a spy on my back. I cannot take it. I swear that I will try my hardest to take care of me. If my brain forgets to remind me, I will create a robot which will keep reminding me what to do next. How's that sound? So, please don't be mad at me. I'm so hungry. Let's buy some dinner. Okay? Okay?"

She was too terrified to act cutely. Her pitiful expression was visible in front of him.

Mu Liang saw her pale and hungry face and felt bad. There was no way he could be mad at her when she was starving. He sighed. "I know you were busy. That's why I bought us dinner."

Mu Lan was stunned, "Why didn't you eat either? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me if I'm late?"

"I don't want you to eat alone and feel lonely." Mu Liang unpacked the boxes full of foods and handed one box to Mu Lan. "Eat."

Mu Lan was touched. She took it and silently filled her stomach. Once in a while, her gaze darted on the person in front of her who was also chewing food. There was something in her mind but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"If there is something you want to say, then say it." Mu Liang bluntly said.

Mu Lan was caught off guard. She stuttered, "N-nothing. Nothing at all." After that, she gave full concentration to her food.

Mu Liang narrowed his eyes. But he didn't say anything else. However, Mu Lan still kept glancing at him time to time and in the end, he couldn't take it anymore.

He put down his chopsticks before asking, "Lan, what's wrong? If you don't tell me, I will make you say that other way."

Mu Lan gazed at him, took a deep breath and then said, "Liang Liang, I was thinking that, if we could go together to Saudi Arabia, wouldn't it be great?"

Mu Liang: "…"

She tried to explain, "We don't know for sure what Mohammed Akram wants and what he knows. If we go together, I mean we are invincible couple; nothing can harm us. So, I'm saying that if we go there together, we can get more clues and so-"

"No." Mu Liang coldly replied.

Mu Lan's opened mouth closed and then opened again, "Umm-"

"No." He cut her off again. He still didn't tell her what he leant about Mohammed Akram. After knowing everything, there was no way he would let her go there as long as he was alive.

Mu Lan's face became pitiful but she didn't say anything else. She didn't dare to offend him before her work was done.

Seeing her grievous state, Mu Liang's heart softened. He said, "I got some information about Mohammed Akram. He isn't as good as he seems…."

He told her everything about last night.

"What? Jonah is in trouble?!" Mu Lan stood up suddenly and exclaimed in surprise. "I thought that he was smarter but I guess love makes people blind. But why didn't come to me first?" Then something came in her mind. "Ah! Don't tell me he saw us in the lake!" She gasped.

Mu Liang: "…"

He had no idea how she came up with this idea. And more importantly, he just said that he was going to Saudi Arabia, she gave no reaction to that. Did she not hear what he just said?

He said, "Lan, I'm going to Saudi Arabia." 'So, stop thinking about what other man did and worry for your husband a little'- that Mu Liang couldn't say.

Mu Lan came out from her fantasy and nodded. "Oh, I heard that. You can do it." She gave him a thumb's up

"…Can't you worry about me even a little?" Mu Liang sighed deeply.

Mu Lan sat down and started chewing her food. "What's there to worry about? You are the most amazing person in the world. Your team has been taught by you, so it means that no one can surpass you, right? And I also saw you going to the gym every night. With your talent and hard work, how can you not defeat Mohammed Akram?"

She wasn't worried, she just had high expectation and trust in Mu Liang.

He said with a serious tone, "You know that I might kill more than one people."

"As long as you can come back alive in one piece, I don't mind the rest." Her voice was firm. "And I also think that brother Feng won't let you die. And no matter what, if you need a help, I will be there."

Mu Liang opened his mouth to say something but she said, "Even if you say 'no', I won't care at that time."

Mu Liang smiled and shook his head. He knew that there was no end of discussion if they kept arguing about it. He didn't know why he was thinking that something was going to happen, but now he promised that nothing would happen in this trip.

The next day, Mu Liang's agent came with a news. "Boss, I think that Horse-master has nothing to do with the kidnapping. Because he just found himself a new toy and she wasn't Yu Meili we are looking for. We even searched for Yu Meili and she is nowhere in the country. I looked into this new girlfriend's background. She is an Arabian girl gifted by Mohammed Akram. She is the daughter of the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. It seemed like, something was wrong between Mohammed Akram and the Prime Minister and Mohammed Akram had his revenged."

Mu Liang narrowed his eyes. "Keep an eye on the Prime Minister and look into what's the apple of discord between them."
