Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

Chapter 837 - USETTLING FEELINGS

They came out of the car and took Mu Lan to the twenty seventh floor. When they went inside the apartment, only then her blindfold was taken off from her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked at the luxurious apartment. She exclaimed, "Wow! This is an excellent place. It\'s far better than the villa I was in. So, which floor are we on?" She pretended that she knew nothing.

"This is where I usually work. No one will come to disturb me here." Li Sheng grinned at her. "So, rest assured."

Mu Lan halted at her step. \'Does that mean not even Li Shen would be able to come here? That jerk only made my life harder after the moment I met him. He is a curse! And this jerk here is another curse. Nothing goes right as long as anyone deals with this guy.\'

Li Sheng grabbed and pulled her in the furthest room. "You will stay here. What do you think?"

Mu Lan approved. The room was spacious and, in the middle, there was a king size bed. The windows were large and there was a balcony as well. The room was clearly decorated for a woman. It was like a woman lived here once. It was definitely not a prisoner.

Mu Lan curiously looked at Li Sheng. "Whose room was it?"

Li Sheng vaguely replied, "Not someone you know. You can stay here. No one will come to disturb you. If you need anything the guards will be outside your room. You can ask them."

Mu Lan nodded and then narrowed her eyes. "What\'s with your sudden hospitality? You are acting suspicious."

Li Sheng smirked. "I did tell you that I would give you a warm hospitality. I kept my word."

Mu Lan didn\'t believe him. But she did say anything else.

Li Sheng left before saying, "You can take a rest or a bath. Do whatever you want before lunch. But you can forget about escaping from here."

After she was left alone, she looked around. She scanned the whole room if there was any bug or surveillance cameras and then went to the balcony to see if there was any way she could get out from here. She halted on her steps when she saw an invisible electric net covering the whole balcony. If she didn\'t have the power, she wouldn\'t notice it. No normal human could see this electric net. She could accidently harm herself.

She observed it carefully and then gulped down. "It looks new to me. Could it be he recently made it for me, so that no matter how I try I could never get out?"

She thought, \'It seems like a detailed work and it must have taken some time to finish. Maybe this is the reason why he put me in the villa first. After he found out about me coming back to China, he made a plan and ordered his men to create this net and then he used a sniper to take care of Xue Lin and put me on a tight spot so that I couldn\'t escape from his grasp. He took to the villa and kept me there until his order was done and at the same time, he hid me from Li Shen. Now, he took me here it only means that Xue Lin isn\'t in his grasp anymore. Or he didn\'t have to think of me getting out of here. That mean\'s Liang Liang took action. But he was late. Did Li Sheng stop the Europeans from communicating with the Chinese? That would be crazy! There must be another reason. Once again, it was proved that Li Sheng had something to do with The Mongoose. Without their amazing skill, it would be hard for him to create an invisible electric net in such a short time. I must not use my power in front of him or his men. I don\'t know who The Mongoose are. They might hide their identities and work for him.\'

While thinking she went back to the room and checked the closet. There were lots of good clothes there. She chose one and went to the bath for a shower. After shower she changed into the new clothes. It fitted her perfectly. At that time the guards knocked on her door. "Miss, come out for lunch."

"I\'ll be right there." She said. She unlocked the door and came out. One of the guards escorted her to the dining room. When she first came here, she didn\'t have the time to inspect. Now she looked around and agreed that it was an apartment for a couple. But there were no pictures of a loving couple. She wondered, \'Could it be that Li Sheng\'s dead girlfriend lived here with him once? But in his territory, who would dare to kill her?\'

She looked at the dining table that was full of delicious meals. She asked in amazement, "Wow! What\'s the occasion?"

Li Sheng smiled. "It\'s your welcome feast. You are my family after all."

Mu Lan sat down and said, "I don\'t see any family members. What kind of welcome party is this?" The more she looked at his behavior, the more suspicious she became. She gazed at the food and asked, "It\'s not poisoned. Is it?"

"Why don\'t you taste it yourself?" Li Sheng already started eating.

Mu Lan didn\'t try to be courteous. She smelled the food before tasting a little. When she figured out that there was nothing wrong with the food, she ate in a relaxed manner. The meals were of her taste. She ate more than she usually ate.

Li Sheng noticed it too. He couldn\'t help but comment, "I didn\'t know that you were a glutton?"

"Because of you I couldn\'t eat well in the past two months. You dare to say that now! Hmf!" She took another big bite on the roasted chicken.

After lunch she asked, "Can I have some books to spend my time?"

"Sure, you can. The opposite room of your bedroom is the library. You can go there with the guards. I\'m going to work. Let\'s meet at dinner time." Li Sheng got up from his seat and left.

The whole afternoon, she spent her time reading books. She was totally bored but she could do nothing about it. After she saw the invisible electric net, she was afraid of using her power to check what was going on outside. Most of all, she wanted to know what Li Sheng was plotting against her. But if she used her power, The Mongoose might find out about her identity and they would use it to capture The Cobra. And her thirteen daddies would jump blindly to rescue her.

Thinking all that, she sighed. The situation was calm before the storm. She felt restless. After dinner, she went back to her room. She was feeling sleepy after using ehr brain too much today. She yawned. She changed into a red nightgown and went to bed. At that moment, she found something was different about her room. She sniffed. "...What is this... smell? ...A... sweet... smell..." She couldn\'t keep her eyes open anymore and fell asleep.
