Chapter 494 HIS MAJESTY

In the morning, Mu Liang woke up earlier. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the sleeping woman in his arms. He took off the soaked napkin that already dried. Mu Lan's eyes weren't as swollen as before. He sighed in relief. Afterwards, he stroked her head for a long time.
More than missing her body, he missed pampering her, loving her. To him, she was a ray of light that gave him a reason to live, a reason to go on living with full of happiness, this was something he never had before.
How could he treat her with coldness?
He deserved a beating.
While rubbing her head gently, he leaned down to kiss her lips. When his lips touched hers, her softness melted his heart and tickled his heart. His lips lingered on hers for a long time. He was unable to move away. If her eyelashes didn't flatter and didn't tickle his nose, he wouldn't move away.
Mu Liang looked down to see the sleeping beauty waking up from her deep slumber. He wondered if he was Prince Philip kissing the Sleeping Beauty and waking her up from a curse of Maleficent.
Mu Lan frowned the time she woke up. Her head hurt. It felt like that her head was going apart. She rubbed her forehead before opening her eyes. Just then, she realized something.
'Wait a second, why can't I move?' While wondering, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was laying on Mu Liang's body. 'Oh, oh, His Majesty is still on the bed. How unusual!' She mocked in her heart.
Mu Liang saw her twisting her face, he asked worriedly, "Is the headache to much? I will tell the maids to cook a hangover soup for you." He used his right thumb to massage her temple and forehead.
'Is His Majesty giving me special treatment? He even got his voice back. Should I celebrate?' Mu Lan thought. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage.
Mu Liang called Noel and asked for hangover soup. And then his left hand lazily touched her small waist. His voice was light as he spoke, "You got thinner."
'Of course, I skipped meals not to face you, hmpf.' Mu Lan kept whining in her mind but nothing came out of her mouth.
"Lan, are you mad at me? I'm so sorry for hurting you." His tone was full of sorrow and guilt, as if he was in front of the Grim Reaper and was ready to atone for his sins before death.
'Let's see, how long you can keep it up. Should I bet on it?' Mu Lan thought.
Mu Liang noticed that she was giving him his own medicine, he felt that it was better than her keeping everything inside her. At least, she was showing emotion and wanted to punish him for his wrong doings.
He hugged her a little closer and inhaled her sweet scent. It was his drug to produce more energy. Hugging her, smelling her, he was in heaven.
The maid came with the soup and knocked the door.
Mu Lan didn't want to be seen like this. So she twisted her body and moved away from Mu Liang's embrace. She got up and went to the bathroom.
She didn't smile at him. She didn't look at him. She didn't talk to him. She didn't look back at him.
Mu Liang looked at his empty hands. He suddenly realized what Mu Lan felt past few days. It was his own home with his own family. She was on the other hand was new in here with new people. Moreover, for his and his family's selfishness, she had to face danger and had to take a huge responsibilities.
And he was acting like a jerk.
A small jealousy turned into a serious thing.
'She must be in agony.' Mu Liang thought. Frustrated, he got out of the bed and opened the door. The maid was already gone. She was probably out of the door waiting for further instruction. He was in the empty room, sitting on the sofa, waiting her.
Mu Lan didn't take time and came out after brushing her teeth and changing the dress. She walked out of the bedroom and saw the hangover soup. She merely glanced at it and walked passed Mu Liang. She opened the door and smiled at the maid. Before the maid could open her mouth, Mu Lan said, "Can you take the soup to my study room?"
"Y-yes, Madam Mu." The maid flushed and nodded her head. Then she took the soup and followed Mu Lan to another direction.
Mu Lan had no idea that in the Mu Castle, the servants view about her had been completely changed after last night. At first, they didn't like her and thought of gold digger. After that seeing her capability, they respected her. After last night, their feelings for her turned into adoration. Behind her back, they began to call her 'cute mistress'.
Meanwhile, Mu Liang was like an invisible man. He was already labeled as the devil. And now after bullying his soon-to-be wife, pitiful mistress began to ignore him.
Served him right!
In the breakfast table, Mu Liang kept giving Mu Lan food and soon her bowl was filled with foods. "You should eat more. You are working too hard. If you keep going like this you will become sick."
Mu Feng, Jing Sheng and Mu Cheng were speechless as they saw the way Mu Liang was acting. It was even weirder that Mu Lan wasn't talking to him.
"What's going on?" Mu Cheng couldn't help but whisper.
"Silent treatment." Mu Feng bluntly stated the truth.
"What happened in the first place?" Jing Sheng asked curiously. She was enjoying the show.
No one knew the answer. Not even Mu Lan. But she guessed it because she as the one who caused it and she knew him the best.
Mu Lan silently finished everything that was on her bowl. She didn't disappoint Mu Liang or her own stomach.
