Al scratched his head. He thought, 'No wonder the Mu boy is called the devil. He has all sorts of tricks in his sleeves. As long as he doesn't mean any harm to the kid, I guess it's fine. '
He sighed and moved forward. He touched Carlo's wrist and said, "Let go, Carl. He is just a kid."
Mu Liang was speechless.
Didn't they just say they only thought Mu Lan as a kid?
"This is no kid. This is the devil in disguise." Carlo's grip tightened.
Mu Liang gave him a smirk making him even more angry.
Al didn't know why these two adults were acting so childish. He couldn't come up with any idea on how to deal with these two. All of a sudden, he remembered something.
He said, "I forgot to mention, Xiao Lan is having a high fever. Her fever isn't going down and temperature is rising gradually."
Both of them abruptly glance at him. After a few seconds of silence, Mu Liang brushed off Carlo's hands and walked away hurriedly.
Carlo glared at Al."You always have to say the most important thing at the last moment." He also turned around and left, leaving Al alone.
Al spoke to himself, "I guess I will clean up the mess."
When Mu Liang and Carlo entered Mu Liang's bedroom, they found a sick Mu Lan. Beside her was a handsome man wiping her hands with cold water.
Osiris looked up and saw the men. He spoke, "And now the heroes come to save the day. Where were you? She is burning up like hell. Treat her immediately. If you were even a little bit late, I would have had to call Pedro."
Mu Liang was startled to see him at first, but he didn't bother to say anything to him. He moved forward and touched Mu Lan's burning hand.
Carlo did the same and frowned. They heard him saying, "She needs a cold bath. Prepare a bath for her."
Mu Liang replied, "Alright, I will give her a bath."
Carlo snapped."What do you mean by that? Call for a maid. I will not let a brat like you see her body."
Mu Liang smirked."It's too late for that. I think you know that much. Besides, I will never let another see her body, including any female."
Carlo gritted his teeth."Brat, do you want to have a fight? I swear I'll end you in a second."
Mu Liang didn't flinch. He talked back, "I don't mind but I wonder what will Xiao Lan do to you after she wakes up. You don't want to end your relationship with her, right?"
That's when Mu Liang became Carlo's number one hated enemy.
Osiris sighed. He was having a headache. 'They showed up late and started a fight in front of my sick baby. Are they even adults?'
Mu Liang gracefully took Mu Lan in his arms and said, "Well, if you excuse me, I have to take care of my future bride." Then, he turned around and headed towards the bathroom.
Carlo had a bitter expression. He loudly said, "Now, hang in there! Who do you think-"
Osiris grabbed him by his shoulder."Now, now, you cannot bicker with him in his own house."
"This devil! I will kill him for sure." Carlo growled.
Osiris lightly said, "Although I don't like the way he talked about being physical with my baby, she is all grown up. We cannot force her to do anything. Actually, we never forced her to do anything because she never listened. She always did what she liked to do. Remember the last time she fell in love with that guy, you tried to make her understand so many times, but her eyes were only set on him. In the end, she had to learn it the hard way. What do you think about this guy? I don't think he is all bad since you guys dared to show your faces to him."
Carlo hesitated before saying, "He has no bad intention so far... Since Juan approved of these two, we can't do anything to split them apart."
"So, he really cares for her deep down, doesn't he?" Osiris smirked. He poked Carlo with his elbow and said, "You know how everything is and that's why even though you get so angry, you can only make false threats, you cannot harm him at all. Carlo, even though you complain all the time, you are so soft heartened, aren't you? Certainly, this boy has some nerve. To talk back to a Cobra member without flinching... I like him already." He gave a goofy smile.
Carlo frowned and bickered, "Alright, enough chit chat. I'm going to cook for the kid. You go and help Al."
Osiris shrugged."When did Al need help? I need to take a nap. I'm so tired." He laid down on the bed."Don't forget to cook some chicken leek soup. She likes it."
Carlo asked, "Sleeping and ordering, are these the only two things you can actually do? Don't you get tired of it?"
Osiris closed his eyes and said, "How can I? It's my specialty."
Carlo was speechless by his friend's shamelessness. He grunted and left the bedroom.
Osiris commented, "Ah, I miss my home."

After putting Mu Lan in the bathtub filled with cold water, Mu Liang came out of the bathroom. Seeing Osiris sleeping in his bed he suggested, "Can you change the bed cover please? The clean bedcovers are in the drawer under the bed. Also, you can sleep in the guest room which is next to this room. I won't want my guest to catch the virus."
Osiris opened his eyes and gazed at him."This is the first time we meet and you want me to work?"
"I'm sorry that I have to ask you since I cannot let the maids come in here while you are present." Mu Liang politely talked to him. He kept wondering how it felt when weird fathers-in-law kept coming one after another.
