115: A REWARD (PART 3)

A REWARD (PART 3)

Ge Chen looked at his friend silently for a moment and then opened his mouth. "I hope you are not threatening me."2

"I wouldn't dare." Mu Liang spoke truthfully. "Though I came to know some secrets of Xiao Lan and after knowing them I wish I didn't know. I've put my whole family in danger and I cannot tell Feng about it."

Ge Chen was genuinely surprised. "You cannot tell about it to Mu Feng! Then I won't pursue this matter. But I hope you aren't taking all the burden on your shoulders." He knew that his friend always consulted with his younger brother about personals and business matters. But this time, he didn't. Sometimes ignorance is bliss – this is something they all believe.

Mu Liang chuckled. "This isn't a burden. Since Xiao Lan is reckless and always seeking danger, I'm a little worried. I'm keeping my guard up."

Ge Chen understood his friend's feelings. He asked, "If she knows about it, don't you think she will feel bad for it and quit being reckless?"

Mu Liang shook his head. "Quite the opposite. She will compensate me in bed rather than that." He smirked. He was a happy man through and through.

Ge Chen chuckled. His friend loved to show off. He had no objection. He was glad that his friend was happy. "Good for you. But if you think it's too much for you to handle, do share with me. I want to see what powerful group you are battling against." He deeply cared for his friend. Both of them had childhood histories and they always shared their pain. Ge Chen didn't want Mu Liang to fight alone when he was in danger.

Mu Liang let out a small laugh. Ge Chen always supported him and he appreciated that. But it was something that Ge Chen better not knew– that's what he believed. "Don't get me wrong. We are powerful but some things are more powerful than us. Nevertheless, no matter what it is, I cannot tell you. You should understand. I do care about you."

Ge Chen immediately replied, "I know you do, but don't talk like that. You will mislead people. I won't want my wife to misunderstand me."

"What misunderstanding? I only get a hard-on for my wife." Mu Liang said proudly.

Ge Chen narrowed his eyes. "You can't get me a hard-on for you either." He only reacts to his wife but sadly his wife doesn't take care of him.

"Speaking of your wife, how's your married life? You have never shown me your honeymoon pictures." Mu Liang was talking about the group chat Mu Feng created on WeChat. There, Mu Liang Mu Feng and Lu Feng shares their lovey-dovey pictures to show off. Since Ge Chen was single, he never shared any picture. But he is married now. Yet, he doesn't share any picture.

Ge Chen coolly answered, "We are getting used to each other. She has a job in a high school and she is doing great." Thinking about her embarrassed look, he smiled discreetly.

Mu Liang's eyebrow lifted. He never thought he would see this expression on his friend's face. "What are you doing for a living?" He wanted to know what trick Ge Chen was pulling on her. However, he heard something unexpected. His friend replied, "I've taken a job of a security guard in the same school."

"Security guard?!" Mu Liang exclaimed. "Sticking close to your wife… maybe I should have done something like that too. That way we would be closer…"

This time, Ge Chen raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you two close enough? And from the moment you found her, your visit to the company became much less frequent. Did you know that you are the history's laziest CEO? No CEO can stay home as much as you."

Mu Liang defended himself. "My wife is more important than the company. But at least I do some office work but what about you? You don't even go to your mother's company."

Ge Chen shrugged. "I don't need to go to the company. Ming Yu is there to do the job."

Mu Liang asked playfully, "Who is the laziest CEO then?"

Ge Chen defended himself. "I'm a mere security guard. I wake up early and work diligently from morning to evening. I'm more hardworking than you are."

Mu Liang asked, "Are you actually guarding the school or your wife?"

"Both." Ge Chen lied without batting his eyes.

Mu Liang didn't want to argue anymore. "Fine, you win. Is there anything you want to ask about apart from my wife?"

"No, what I want to know, you won't tell me. So, I give up." Ge Chen calmly said. If his friend didn't help him, he could find out everything by himself. When did he learn to give up from just warning? If he was like that, he could never become famous in his occupation.

Mu Liang gave him a long stare and then nodded. "Very well. Even if you find out something, you have to share it with me. I don't want you to put yourself in danger." Somehow, he didn't believe that his friend would let go of it so easily.

Ge Chen assured him. "We are not kids anymore. I will do that."

Mu Liang suddenly said, "And I forgot to tell you about my and Xiao Lan's wedding ceremony. I kept it a secret from her. I want to give her a surprise. The arrangement is all set and I will invite everyone. I told you beforehand, so you must come along with your wife."

Ge Chen narrowed his eyes. "You want to give your fiancée a perfect wedding and so you wish my wife to be there. And you didn't come to my wedding. You could at least let your wife come. My wife was lonely at her wedding reception."

Mu Liang said, "My wife was busy with Yan Su. You know she is pregnant. She couldn't go nor Feng's girl. And yes, I want to give my wife a perfect wedding. Don't hold grudges. We will be there to cheer for you when your wife falls in love with you."
