Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

Chapter 860: IS THAT HER BOYFRIEND?

Mu Lan took his hands and patted them. "As you know that I\'m from the Mu Family and we can be attacked at any moment because my husband and my brother-in-law have lots of enemies. That\'s the very reason I need to be informed about that. It is a part of my duty as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu Family.

Ru Xin looked at her hands, those were grabbing his hands in melancholy and then, sighed. "You are really stubborn. Alright, I\'m telling you. Since the Li Family cannot afford to be in the same position after Li Sheng\'s accident, the position was taken by the heir of the Ge Family."

"Huh? The Ge Family? Isn\'t it-" Mu Lan stopped abruptly. She covered her mouth in astonishment. \'Hold on a second. Isn\'t the name too familiar? If I remember correctly in Italy when I was raising money for the Mu Corporation, there was a guy who bought my invention. He said that he was from the Ge Family.\'

"What\'s wrong?" Ru Xin asked in puzzlement. He never saw her being so surprised.

Mu Lan controlled herself and asked carefully, "Big brother Xin, does that guy have a pair of grey eyes?"

Ru Xin blinked. "Are you talking about the heir of the Ge Family? Yes, he does. How do you know that?"

Mu Lan smirked. "Ah, I met him a couple of times in Europe." She shook her head and thought, \'Well, well, well, dearest Xue Lin, you can go back to China and hit the jackpot, huh? You married into the Ge Family and we didn\'t get an invitation. That cannot do. I have to catch you after I\'m done with my problem.\' She smiled like a pure devil.

Ru Xin shuddered. He knew that she was mischievous but he never saw her smiling like a pure evil. It scared him for no reason.

The food was served and they started to eat. While they were eating, Ru Xin said, "If you have anything else to buy, you have to buy today. I can\'t bring you here tomorrow."

"Why not?" Mu Lan took the fried squid and began to chew it.

Ru Xin replied, "Tonight, I\'m going to the base. I got a call from the headquarters yesterday. I have to go on a mission."

"Really? Be careful then. I hope you will be back before the rice balls\' birthday. Or they will be upset. Especially the second rice ball." Mu Lan said.

Ru Xin didn\'t give her any false hope. "I cannot say for sure. But I also wish that I will be able to attend their birthday party."

At that time, two middle-aged women came to the restaurant. They sat down in the opposite direction of where Mu Lan and Ru Xin were sitting. They ordered their meal when one of them saw Mu Lan and shock filled her eyes.

"...Is... Xiao... Lan...?" That woman asked.

The second woman looked at the direction where the first woman was pointing out and she was surprised too. "S-she... she is. That bi*ch! Wasn\'t she supposed to die? Why is she here of all places? How come she has so much money to come here?"

"She looks like she is having a good time despite what happened to her almost a year ago." The first woman commented.

The second woman was fuming. "She dares to show her face when I\'m in a bad mood. But how is she with? Who is that man? Did she get herself a boyfriend here and lead a happy life?"

The first woman narrowed her eyes. Since the man with Mu Lan was showing his back, she couldn\'t see his face. She said, "I\'m going to powder my nose." Saying that she stood up and walked away. A minute later, she came back from Mu Lan\'s right direction. She cleverly took this side so that the couple didn\'t notice her. She saw the couple was busy eating. She had a good look at the man with whom Mu Lan was with and then came back to her own seat.

The second woman curiously asked, "Did you see the man\'s face?"

The first woman calmly answered, "I did."

Her companion asked again, "Who is he?"

"He is the son of you whom you know very well." She paused before continuing, "He is the son of Ru Yaozu, Ru Xin."

The second woman\'s face paled. "Ar-are you sure? You aren\'t making any mistakes, are you?"

The first woman raised an eyebrow. "Who do you think I am? I know the faces of every influential person in China. Do you think anyone can fool me?"

The second woman nervously said, "N-no, no, I\'m not saying that. My point is, how can she know him?"

The first woman asked in a relaxed tone, "How long has she been missing from your line of sight?"

"She went away and came back all of a sudden giving me goosebumps. I can\'t trail her like that. When she leaves, she doesn\'t leave a single mark to follow her." The second woman bit down her lower lip in frustration.

"Since she doesn\'t leave trails, she knows how to remove her traces before she goes away. Why will she go this far to remove her track? And how can a normal, simple girl go out without a trace?" The first woman tapped her fingers on the table. "Xiao Lan... hmmm... she isn\'t as simple as we think she is. I think, when she goes away, she does some special training."

The second woman excitedly asked her companion, "Do you know what you are saying? You are almost saying that she is some kind of secret agent."

The first woman coolly said, "...Or she is some kind of spy. If the army finds out about her existence, it will be hard for her to live such a good life."

The second woman nervously said, "But then they will dig out her past and if things go wrong, she will inherit her fortune left by her parents."

"Not before we finish her." The first woman smiled cruelly.
