Mu Lan raised an eyebrow. Something flashed in her eyes but she hid it before the other two men noticed it. She simply rejected the offer. "I'm not in the mood of roaming around. I will spend my time travelling around China."

Li Shen turned to face her and said, "Xiao Lan, I'm really sorry for the pain I caused you. You didn't want to go to Italy with us but I dragged you and made you suffer so much. As an apology, let me give you a gift. Come with in in Shanghai and see the gift I prepared for you."

"Not interested." Her rejection was blunt. Although she was surprised to see him talking so politely which he never had done before, she didn't let it show on her face.

Hua Rong meddled, "Why not visit your nephew, Xiao Lan? It has been so long since you last saw him. Also, your brother-in-law wants to give you a gift. When your elder wants to give you something, you have to thank your elder and accept the gift because it's a blessing." He lectured her for the first time in his life.

Upon hearing his words, Li Shen's face became as black as the bottom of a pot and Mu Lan's face was glowing.

She smiled and said, "Uncle is correct. As an elder, brother-in-law can give a gift to a youngster like me. I should humbly accept it. It's a blessing after all." She stretched her hand towards Li Shen and said, "Give me my blessing."

Li Shen froze. He didn't expect her to say it. After he gathered his words, he replied, "…I left it in Shanghai and I can't move it anywhere. So, you have to come with me."

Mu Lan narrowed her eyes. "When do I have to go with you?"

"Now." It was more like an order. Seeing Mu Lan frowning as she was displeased, Li Shen immediately changed his tone. "I mean, the sooner the better."

Hua Rong urged her, "Xiao Lan, you can go. You have my approval."

Mu Lan sighed. "Since my uncle has no problem, I can go to see my nephew and get my gift as well."

Li Shen and Mu Lan went to Li Family's private airport and got on the plane. Before that, the two of them didn't speak a word as there was a driver and a bodyguard were with them. However, as soon as they went inside the private plane, they were alone except for the pilot who was in the cockpit.

Li Shen grabbed Mu Lan's wrist and pulled her closer. "Now, do you think you can get away from me?"

It was true that he had absolute power in Shanghai. But he had no clue of Mu Lan's true self.

Mu Lan sneered. "I was thinking that you might be a deaf. Now I'm sure I didn't guess wrong."

Her cold hearted comment was burning his injured heart. Li Shen said, "You can blame me as much as you can but you will be mine sooner or later. However, we can save the topic for later. Tell me, what did you mean by you aren't Hua Family's youngest miss?"

Mu Lan snatched her hand away from him and stepped back. She replied, "I meant exactly what it sounded. I'm not their daughter. My mother is the eldest twin daughter of Zhuang Family. My auntie who is your mother-in-law is the youngest twin daughter of Zhuang Family."

"Zhuang Family?" Li Shen heard about that prestigious family and the legendary teenage CEO who was Zhuang Zhen, Mu Lan's mother. "But Xiao Mei's mother's family name is Zhuan."

"If you want to know why she changed her family name, you have to ask her. I have no clue." Mu Lan shrugged.

Li Shen continued, "And you said something about Xiao Mei not being the daughter of her father-"

Mu Lan interrupted him. "Oh, your wife? Haha, Li Shen you amaze me. How blinded were you with your hatred towards me that you married a woman without knowing anything of her?"

Li Shen replied stiffly, "I know what I needed to know."

"Oh really? Then why are you asking now? Back off!" She never thought that this guy was not only a lunatic but also an idiot.

Li Shen narrowed his eyes. "Xiao Lan, don't be so disobedient. YOU know what I can do to you if you don't obey my command."

Mu Lan sneered. She had an urge to finish off this guy right then and there. However, she needed him for now. All she could do was being patient and listen to what he said.

She reluctantly replied, "My auntie put a green hat on my uncle's head and had triplets with the ex-Major General Ru Yaozu. The eldest one is your wife; their son is He Meixu who is serving in the army and the youngest daughter died in an orphanage. Is there anything else you want to know, your majesty?" Her tone didn't hide the sarcasm.

Li Shen needed some time to digest the news. He had lots of questions for her. He asked, "Do you have any proof of your words?"

Mu Lan raised an eyebrow. "Are you doubting it?"

Li Shen told her, "I'm not the only one who needs to believe you. Can you give us proof so that the world gets to know about it?"

"Why would I care about what the world knows about your wife's past? Also, won't your business be affected by it? After all, she is your most beloved wife, mother of your child." She didn't care what the world thought about it. She came here to get revenge. Se only wanted to get revenge.

Li Shen said, "I will need a reason to divorce her."

Certainly, Mu Lan saw that coming. "Divorce? Wow! You grew tired of her that early! Aren't you fickle minded? I wonder who will be the next unlucky person to be targeted by you. I pity her."

Li Shen replied, "No need to pity her. I will cherish her more than her current husband ever does. I know, Xiao Lan. You will marry me."
