Chapter 206 - SUSPICION ARISES (PART 4)
The two girls left the room and met Xue Lin in the corridor. Mu Lan already met her when they were taking pictures but they didn't have the chance to talk.
Mu Lan was thrilled to see Xue Lin. She immediately hugged her. "I never imagined seeing you at my wedding! How could you not contact us after going to China? We were so worried!"
Yan Su smiled and said, "You two can talk. I'm leaving." Saying that she left.
Xue Lin asked, "Why? Did you need anything from me?"
Mu Lan lightly hit her shoulder. "Can't we worry for you without any reason?"
Xue Lin thought for a moment and then said, "You never seemed to care about how others feel when you disappear."
Mu Lan raised her hands. "I surrender."
Xue Lin talked about Jing Sheng. "Your mother-in-law looks perfectly fine. Did she go through some kind of hypnotism?"
Mu Lan chuckled. "I knew you would notice. Yes, she did and she is stronger than before."
Xue Lin commented, "She looks happy."
"She found her happiness." Mu Lan told her about Jing Sheng and Noel.
After hearing the story Xue Lin said, "Only you would meddle into someone else's business like that. How's your study going?"
"I never attended class after I admitted." Mu Lan said truthfully.
Xue Lin sighed. "How unfair the world is! Here someone had the choice to choose between study and marriage and she chose marriage. And I, on the other hand, wanted to study but then got married."
Mu Lan was stunned. "You are married!?"
Xue Lin sighed. "That's a long story. My husband is here as well." She pointed out where Mu Liang, Mu Feng, Lu Feng, and another handsome man were talking. The mysterious man had a pair of grey eyes. "That's my husband. He was a bodyguard of your family. You might know him."
Mu Lan's jaw dropped. 'Isn't he…' She couldn't understand why that guy had to hide his identity from his wife. 'More importantly, didn't anyone tell her about his position in the Ge family?' She asked, "Are you okay with a bodyguard? You are richer than him."
Xue Lin asked back, "When you have a loyal but poor man and a rich playboy, which one will you choose?"
"The poor loyal man." Mu Lan answered immediately.
Xue Lin nodded. "Wise choice."
"So, you were forced to get married… Why didn't you contact us?" Mu Lan felt sad for her friend.
"My cell phone broke and I didn't memorize any of your numbers." Xue Lin changed the subject. "It's your big day. You don't need to think about anything else."
Mu Lan understood that she didn't want to talk about it, so she asked, "Have you talked to Xiao Ying and Yan Su?"
"I did." Xue Lin smiled a little.
Qi Ying came forward. "You can chat with your heart's content when the program is over, but now it's dancing time. The bride needs to dance with the groom."
Xue Lin asked, "Where is Yan Su? I don't see her?"
Qi Ying replied, "She is having a hard time moving around. So, she is in the deck, relaxing."
"She worked harder than a normal pregnant lady. I will accompany her." saying that Xue Lin left. She didn't forget to take a tray of cake pieces with her.
"She didn't change a bit." Mu Lan commented with a smile.
"Yes, she didn't." Qi Ying smiled. "Now, go to the groom. It's dancing time."
"Okay, okay." Mu Lan went to the reception hall and found Mu Liang.
He saw her and pulled her closer. "What's wrong?"
"It's dancing time." She replied excitedly.
The bride and groom and other guests began dancing. Mu Feng and Qi Ying, Lu Feng and Yan Su joined them too.
Ge Chen came forward and asked Xue Lin, "Do you want to dance?"
Xue Lin replied, "I would love to but I don't know how to dance."
"I'll teach you," Ge Chen assured her.
The two of them went to the dance floor. Being hugged and staying so close to each other enough to feel each other's breath, Xue Lin became nervous. She couldn't concentrate on dancing.
Ge Chen instructed her, "Focus. You have to look at your partner's eyes."
"It's embarrassing." Xue Lin's reply was direct.
Ge Chen chuckled. "Since it's the first time, I will let you go. But, we will practice dancing at home from now on."
After lunch, Ge Chen went to talk to Mu Liang, Mu Feng, and Lu Feng. They were in a separate area, waiting for Ge Chen.
Seeing him walking toward them, Mu Feng raised a glass of wine. "We were waiting for you."
Ge Chen sat down on the empty chair. "Good, now that we are here, let's talk about business."
"Did you find anything?" Mu Liang went straight to business.
Ge Chen described everything and said, "They are still looking for the destroyed submarine."
Mu Feng frowned. "They still couldn't locate it?"
Ge Chen narrated shortly, "They did locate it but the discovery is so shocking that none of us could believe it. I sent them back to double-check."
Lu Feng curiously asked, "What did they find?"
Ge Chen declared, "They found the broken pieces of the destroyed submarine near the line of Bermuda Triangle."
"What?" Mu Feng was stunned.
Mu Liang became quiet.
Ge Chen looked at dumbfounded Lu Feng and said, "I believe my friend was inside the Bermuda Triangle for weeks. That's why we couldn't track you."
"B-but how…" Lu Feng began to stutter. He couldn't imagine being in a place where no one ever came from.
Mu Feng became silent. It was hard for him to believe too. However, he trusted his friend.
"There is a possibility. However, if this possibility is true, you are the only living human being who came out of the Bermuda Triangle." Ge Chen deeply looked at him. His sharp eyes were like eagle's claws. "Now, I want to know that you remember at least something after having such an adventurous trip."
