"Are you hurt, sis?" Mu Feng asked while they walked.
Mu Lan shook her head. "It's just a light bump, nothing serious." She didn't mention that the bulky man tried to grope her and she skillfully avoided it, or this protective brother-in-law of her would throw that bulky man in the pit of hell.
"It's almost lunch time. How about we grab some food?" Mu Feng offered.
"As long as it's delicious and expensive, count me in." Mu Lan gave a thumb's up.
After they ordered food, Mu Feng put his both hands under his chin. "So, sis, tell me, how do you know about the gold key? Did you recall anything from the past?"
Mu Lan glanced at him and replied, "I heard about it. I'm not sure why it is related to me and what it looks like, but I am completely sure that I have been followed since I met Jason."
Mu Feng never thought that her instinct would be so sharp. "….Are you still being followed?"
"No, when Jason had been caught and I was nearly abducted, I felt it for the last time. I felt it till I reached the castle." She thought that it would be better to talk to Mu Feng about it, since he and his brother were protecting her.
Mu Feng narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying that you felt it even after I dealt with Jason?"
"I am." Mu Lan nodded positively.
Mu Feng felt guilty. "I'm so sorry, sis. Our security isn't strong enough."
Mu Lan interrupted. "I think it's quite enough. I'm not sensing like being followed. However, I think that they retreated just to wait for the right moment. They are planning something different this time. I want you to be alerted."
Mu Feng agreed. "I will. I will also prepare more bodyguards for you."
She smirked. "Do whatever you want. Just make sure that they are not double agent. I was spooked that day."
"I apologize." Mu Feng hung his head.
Mu Lan laughed. "It's fine. I-"
"My, my, isn't it Miss Lan?" An elegant voice said from behind of Mu Lan.
Both Mu Feng and Mu Lan gazed at that direction from where the voice came from and they saw Arisa standing alone. She was wearing a spring maxi dress with a sunglass on her head. She had a light makeup on her face. She looked like a beautiful lady.
This beautiful lady didn't make the siblings-in-law duo happy, rather their mood were spoilt.
"Oh, isn't this Arisa? It's been a while. Have you enjoyed my engagement party? Oh, I wasn't able to meet you that day. I'm so sorry." When it came to act like a b****, Mu Lan was far better than any other girls. She already found out from Qi Ying that Arisa was in house arrest by Mu Feng that evening, so she couldn't attend the party.
Mu Feng innocently said, "But sister-in-law, I met the guest. I didn't see her or her family though. Are you sure that you invited her in your engagement." He emphasized 'sister-in-law' and 'your engagement'.
Arisa gritted her teeth and trembled in anger. 'If it wasn't for this s***, than second young master would call me sister-in-law. Everything is her fault!' She smiled sweetly and replied, "I'm so sorry. Because of some reasons, I wasn't able to attend to the party. But I will attend to the next party you hold, I promise. You will invite me again, won't you Miss Lan."
"Of course I will." Mu Lan firmly replied.
"I'm glad. So where is first young master? Why are you two alone like a couple? Or maybe I wasn't supposed to say that!" She gasped and tried to make a different meaning out of nothing. She slightly raised her voice, making other couples who were there look at the three of them.
Mu Feng gave Arisa a playful smile just like he did in the past. "I used to admire you because of your great academic results. But now I see that you lack common sense. I wonder how you passed the exams and got such excellent marks. Did you cheat? It maybe what you did was using teachers or bribed them."
"W-what are you saying, second young master? I was just pointed out the truth. How can you bully me like that?" Arisa's delicate face became pitiful and her eyes became teary.
Mu Feng shrugged. "That's not my fault! I'm just stating what I'm seeing right now. You don't look as intelligent as I thought you would be. You are disturbing someone's meal, poking your nose to someone else's family matters and acting like a crybaby in public. How unbecoming of a lady from an aristocratic family!"
The people around them began to murmur. They were annoyed about the way Arisa was acting. Their mood had been spoilt too.
"I-I…." Arisa felt more upset as she kept repeating one word.
The restaurant manager came out running after hearing the commotion. His huge belly swung up and down. "Second young master, is there any problem?"
Mu Feng pointed out at Arisa. "This lady is giving us hard time. Get her a seat far away from us. I don't want people disturbing our meal time."
The manager sweated as he turned towards Arisa. He knew her very well. She was a regular customer here. But Mu Family was more important. He politely said, "Miss, this way please. I will arrange a perfect seat for you."
Arisa pretend to wipe her tears and walked out with the manager.
"Damn, I don't like this woman. She is so disgusting. I feel nausea every time I see her. I lost my appetite." Mu Feng twisted his mouth.
"She is super angry at me and you gave her a hard time on that day. So she wanted to take revenge on us, maybe." Mu Lan said.
"Serves her right." Mu Feng stopped as he saw the waiter coming towards their table.
