Chapter 826: SOMETHING IMPORTANT  

Mu Lan wanted to hug him till he was smashed. He was just too cute. She told him, "I'm Mu Lan. You can call me Auntie Lan." She took his little hands and squeezed lightly.

Li Shan was stunned. "You are Princess Mulan?!"

Mu Lan was speechless. She couldn't think of a way why all children think of her as a Princess Mulan. She remembered his brother Jonah's girlfriend Yu Meili had a younger sister named Yu Weiwei who also called her Princess Mulan. She thought, 'Maybe I should introduce little Shan to Weiwei. They will become a wonderful couple.'

She replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm Princess Mulan."

Li Shan was beyond happy. He was over the moon. His little hands clutched hers tightly. "Then, do you have General Shang with you?"

"..." Mu Lan felt like déjà vu. Yu Weiwei asked her the same thing before.

She laughed and said, "Yes, there is. His name is Mu Liang and he is my husband."

"Oh, you two are married already! I wanted to see Princess Mulan and General Shang's wedding." This little guy looked really disappointed.

Mu Lan's heart hurt seeing him sad. She apologized, "Oh, I'm so sorry you couldn't come to our wedding but your father was present on our wedding day."

"Dad, really?" The little guy looked at his father. Mu Lan also turned to face him.

Li Shen was happy when his son and Mu Lan were getting along. He already started to dream that his Xiao Lan and Li Shan were a real family and the three of them were together forever. Just then, his son asked Mu Lan's name and of course she said 'Mu Lan', not 'Hua Lan'. Then, his son asked her if she had a partner and she gleefully replied that her partner was Mu Liang and introduce him as her husband. He felt like he had fallen to the hell from heaven. He began to give of a dark aura.

Mu Lan realized that she rubbed salt on his wound. She told Li Shan, "Don't mind him. Tell me, how are you feeling now? I heard that you were sick. So, I came to see you."

Li Shan didn't want to trouble his parents, especially his father. He replied, "I'm feeling better now. I can go home."

"Is that true? How wonderful! Can I go to your home and play with you?" Mu Lan could tell that he was still ill but she selfishly wanted to visit his mansion for her personal reasons. She felt a little guilty to take advantage of such sweet child. However, this was all she could do for her father now. If she could go with him in his mansion, then she could search for the gold key without a hitch.

Li Shan gasped. He excitedly asked, "Will you really? Will you play with me?"

Mu Lan smiled. "Sure, you are my family, aren't you? But I can only stay with you only one day. Then I'll go back to my house." She didn't want to give him any false hope. She didn't have the heart to do that

Li Shan's spirit was gone instantly. "Why can't you stay a week or a month? Why do you only have one day?"

Mu Lan hugged that little body. "Because your auntie has lots of work to do. However, I can promise you that I'll play with you after I'm done with my work. How does that sound?"

Li Shan vigorously nodded his head. "Alright, I will wait for you obediently. I promise not to make trouble for you."

Mu Lan's heart softened. He was a super cute child. "You are the best, little Shan. Auntie Lan loves you the most."

Li Shan happily said, "I love auntie Lan too. But auntie Lan, I can't love you the most. I love my dad and mom the most." He looked troubled.

"Ahahaha..." Mu Lan laughed aloud. She was impressed by his honesty. "I don't mind at all. As long as you love me, this is enough."

'Sorry, little Shan, I'm going to hurt your beloved parents for what they have done to me. Please don't hate me for that.' She asked for forgiveness in her mind.

Li Shen asked Mu Lan grudgingly, "Are you going to be with him?" He was upset. She knew him for so long but always gave him the cold shoulder. However, she just met his son after so long but they were getting along so well that she wanted to visit him and play with him.

Mu Lan looked at him and replied with a question, "Why wouldn't I? Would you stop us?"

Li Shan glanced at his father as though he wanted Li Shen's permission.

Li Shen closed his eyes to control his anger. After a while, he replied, "Alright but I'll play too."

Little Shan clapped in happiness whereas Mu Lan raised an eyebrow.

By Li Shen's order, little Shan was discharged and got permission to leave the hospital. Three of them went inside the car. Three of them had three different plans circling in their minds. Mu Lan was thinking of searching for the gold key, little Shan was thinking of playing with his father and auntie Lan and Li Shen had another plan.

It didn't take much time to reach the mansion where Hua Mei and his son lived. It was a big mansion but compared to the mansion Li Shen gave to Mu Lan, it was smaller and simple. This mansion had only a few servants to take care of it. More importantly, Hua Mei had no interest in taking care of the houses and the properties. She only enjoyed being the mistress of the LI Family and loved shopping expensive clothes and jewelry.

Mu Lan played with Li Shan till the night came. Li Shen who never stayed with his son more than two minutes, he played throwing ball with his son more than two hours. Little Shan just had the happiest day in his life. Since he was still sick, he fell asleep right after dinner.

Mu Lan went to the guest room and rest. She went to the balcony and closed her eyes. She searched for the gold key with her power. However, luck didn't favor her tonight either. The gold key wasn't there. She sighed.

'If it's not in Shanghai, then I have to go to other provinces where he put the gold key. I wish he put it in the bank. It would be easier for me. But he didn't do it. Where did he put it? If he didn't stay with me like a lych I would have taken only one day to finish mission.' She wondered.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door and Mu Lan went inside the room and opened the door. It was Li Shen.

Mu Lan frowned "What do you want in the middle of the night?"

He said, "I have something important to talk to you."

"But I don't. Good night." She tried to close the door.

But Li Shen pushed the door open preventing her to close the door. "I won't take long."

Mu Lan frowned. "If there is something you want to say, speak from here. I won't let you enter my room." She didn't like the idea of him entering her room. If others saw, it might cause lots of misunderstanding.

He asked coldly, "Have you forgotten that this is my house?"

She raised an eyebrow. "But right now, I'm living in his room and so, it's mine."

"It's important. I can't let others know." He spoke in a low tone.

Mu Lan looked in the corridor to see if there was anyone before letting him in.

Li Shen stood move to the center of the room. This guest room was simple. He didn't like it. Thus, he wished to give her the master bedroom but she didn't agree.

Mu Lan stood right in front of him and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Li Shen took a deep breath. He looked a little nervous. He scratched his head and kneeling on his one knee. Mu Lan blinked and looked down to see what he was doing. He took out a red velvet box and opened it and said, "I know I did something unforgivable to you and I have no place to ask for forgiveness. That's why I'm asking you, let's start anew. We can start from the beginning forgetting our past. What do you think?"

Mu Lan gazed at the velvet box he was holding. She was speechless. She might have never thought that she would be proposed this way. When she found her voice back, she said, "Sure, let's start anew."
