"Slap!" As soon as Mu Lanshuang crossed over, she was greeted with a slap on her face. Immediately, she retaliated with a slap back towards her attacker, her fierce gaze burning into the culprit who dared to lay a hand on her.
The woman in front of her was clearly stunned, her pale and delicate cheek instantaneously showing five distinct handprints. This pure and beautiful woman was crying pitifully, sounded like a bunch of rain-soaked pear blossoms: "Director, Mu Lanshuang is not following the script, she even hit me! Whimpering..."
"Snap!" A furious roar erupted from a man outside the scene, angrily holding a horn megaphone in his hand, shouting at Mu Lanshuang in frustration, "Mu Lanshuang, have you gone mad? Instead of acting according to the script, why are you hitting people? If you don't want to act, then get out!"
Mu Lanshuang was momentarily puzzled.
Acting?
What sort of acting?
She remembered that she had caught Mu Lanxue and Qi Yanbei, those two despicable individuals, in their illicit affair. Out of fear that they would gain nothing once their secret is revealed, Mu Lanxue and Qi Yanbei had ended up killing her.
What was happening now?
Mu Lanshuang didn't understand her current situation, so she didn’t dare to make hasty decisions. She sat up from the ground and stared at the man who was yelling at her without any expression.
Just at this moment, an effeminate man came scurrying over. Apologizing to the director and other departments, he pulled Mu Lanshuang aside, "Mu Missy, private grudges are private grudges. Sure, Gu Manzi has snatched your resources, but you can't joke around with your work like this! If the media catches wind of it, who knows what kind of rumors they will spread again!"
Mu Lanshuang remained unmoved, quietly listening to the man's words, a look of confusion etched on her face.
The man glanced back at the set, probably guessing that Gu Manzi was in no mood to act, which will cause a halt in the progression of the crew: "Forget it, you may leave now.”
"Where to?" For Mu Lanshuang, everything was foreign. She needed to figure out the current situation or else she would continue to be passive.
Her question surprised the man, who stated matter-of-factly, "Of course to pick up your son, Little Mu Chu! I have something to do today and can't accompany you."
Complex emotions surged across Mu Lanshuang's beautiful, refined face.
She hadn't imagined that after her own transmigration, she would have a son in this new body. Did that mean she also had a husband? How was she going to face this unfamiliar family?
In Shuangye Kindergarten, amongst a group of lively toddlers, a delicately pretty little boy with short legs dashed towards and pounced into Mu Lan's arms, "Mommy!"
The child's body was soft. When he hugged Mu Lan's long legs tightly, a strange sense of kinship fluttered in her heart.
Mu Xiao Chu, as expected from a young child, was extremely adorable. His skin was as white as a peeled egg, and his big, round eyes glistened as he looked at you, reminding one of a timid fawn.
The child in front of her softened Mu Lan's heart in an instant.
She bent down to pick up Mu Xiao Chu, who was surprisingly light- It was clear that compared to children his age, he was much more frail.
"Mommy, let's go eat the big shrimp at Fu Ji, Xiao Chu is very hungry!" As Mu Xiao Chu pleaded while clutching onto Mu Lan's neck, she felt her heart melt.
"Alright." She gently patted Mu Xiao Chu's chubby chin, Mu Lan could sniff the milky scent on her son, and felt an irresistible urge to fulfill all of his wishes.
Laughing and talking, they walked out of the kindergarten, but didn't even manage to flag down a cab.
Two tall men dressed in black suits stopped them.
The two men, full of menace, with square faces and an intimidating aura, signaled that they brought no good news: "Miss Mu, could you and the young master please accompany us on a trip? Our second master is back."
Mu Lan and Mu Xiao Chu were taken to the best Hilton Hotel in the city, directly to the presidential suite on the twenty-third floor, rumored to cost several hundred thousand dollars for a night.
Just as the pair had settled down on the sofa, a pair of straight legs dressed in a custom-tailored suit emerged from the bedroom. As the tall owner of those legs walked towards them, his entire figure now visible to Mu Lan.
The tall figure itself was intimidating enough, the man's stern aura stole the breath from the room. Mu Lan was taken aback by his eagle-eyed gaze, her breathing unconsciously halted for a second, fingers paling from the pressure inside her clenched fist but she remained oblivious.
The man sauntered over to the sofa opposite Mu Lan and Mu Xiao Chu and sat down. He hadn't uttered a single word throughout the entire process, but his mere presence was enough to send shivers of anxiety to the two sitting on the other sofa.
"Come here." The man's voice is deep and magnetic, combined with his handsome and aggressive face, no woman could resist his words.
Even Mu Lanshuang, for a moment, was mesmerized.
She lightly coughed and nudged Mu Xiaochu with her elbow, "He's calling you."
"???" Mu Xiaochu opened her mouth, really wanting to tell her mommy that the bad uncle wasn't calling for her, but she couldn't bear to push her mommy into such a danger, so she remained silent.
Seeing this, Mu Lanshuang assumed that Mu Xiaochu was feeling shy and resistant to see her dad after a long time. She raised her head and said to the man on the sofa, "Kom joon
Korean
, spoil her a little and she'll be fine."
An awkward silence filled the room.
A peculiar feeling arose within her, the man across from her noticeably turned colder and his gaze became sharper. He scrutinized Mu Lanshuang from head to toe, which made her involuntarily nervous.
Did she say something wrong?
The atmosphere in the room turned peculiar instantly.
The man waved his hand. The man in the black suit next to him cast a sympathetic look at Mu Lanshuang, respectfully walked over to Mu Xiaochu and said, "Young Master, Miss Mu and your father need to talk. You have just finished school and haven't eaten yet. I will take you to the restaurant."
"No, I won't go! If I leave, the bad uncle will make mommy cry again!" Mu Xiaochu put down her milk, hugged Mu Lanshuang's thigh, and refused to leave her.
But his little strength was no match for the man in the black suit.
The man in the black suit forcefully separated Mu Xiaochu from Mu Lanshuang. Mu Xiaochu was suspended in the air, and tears began to flow: "Let me go! Mommy, mommy..."
"What are you doing?" Seeing her child crying, Mu Lanshuang's heart suddenly tightened, some pangs of pain. Reflexively, she stood up and grabbed the man in the black suit.
The fear of survival made the black-suited man jump, holding Mu Xiaochu and stepping back in horror: "Miss Mu, don't worry, I'm just taking the young master downstairs to eat, once you finish talking with Master, I'll bring him back."
With a fearful glance at Master, the man in the black suit hurriedly left the room.
His behavior was extremely strange, and the uneasiness in Mu Lanshuang's heart became stronger.
Throughout the process, the man on the sofa didn't say a word. But his expressions became extremely impatient, the thick cloud in his eyes made the atmosphere of the room unsettling.
When Mu Lanshuang looked at him uneasily, the man commanded emotionlessly: "Come here."
