Chapter 212: Can You Be Our Model?

Mu Feng ignored his cousin and led Mu Lan to a baby shop. She selected a few baby clothes, a crib, a stroller, and a few toys.

The dresses were very cute and Mu Lan was tempted to buy more. She controlled herself as she knew it was not practical. The baby would grow fast.

The shop attendant was very polite and helpful. She assisted them and was very considerate towards Mu Lan. It was a good shopping experience for her.

Unbeknownst to them, their photos were posted on the internet. Mu Feng was a famous designer in the country. He won several international awards so he was considered a national treasure. His photo, shopping with a beautiful pregnant woman caused a stir on the internet.

’When did our national treasure get married? How come there was no news of it?’

’His wife looked like a foreigner and she looked like a model.’

’I have never seen a pregnant woman look this beautiful before.’

’What a lucky lady. Mu Feng is an excellent man.’

’Mu Feng is engaged to Jiang Xi. How can that be his wife? She is a mistress.’

’So, she is a mistress. What a pity. She looked innocent.’

’Why should you pity her? She is a homewrecker. You should pity Jiang Xi because she is the victim here.’

Mu Chen who was in school at that time and was browsing the internet saw the news about his brother and his sister who were wrongfully accused of being the mistress. He frowned and logged in to his account.

’Hi everyone, I am Mu Feng’s brother. That pregnant woman is not my brother’s mistress. She is our cousin." Mu Chen clarified. The Netizens stopped slandering Mu Lan after they read his post.

Back at the mall, the sales attendant has settled the bill. Mu Feng assisted Mu Lan and was about to escort her out of the store when a hard slap landed across Mu Feng’s face. He was caught off guard and stepped back.

"It is really true! You have a mistress! Mu Feng, how can you do this to me? You promised that you will take care of me and be loyal to me." A slender lady with long black and straight hair blocked Mu Feng and Mu Lan’s path. Tears streamed down from her almond-shaped eyes.

"Xi, it is not what you think. She is not my mistress. This is your sister-in-law. She is my cousin." Mu Feng explained hurriedly.

Jiang Xi cried louder. People were starting to gather to watch the show.

"Do you take me for a fool? How can she be your cousin? Your grandfather has only one granddaughter and that is Mu Bai. How can you have another cousin?"

"I am telling the truth. You can ask Grandpa about this." Mu Feng was frantic.

"Hello, Cousin-in-Law. My name is Mu Lan and indeed Mu Feng is my cousin." She extended her hand to the stunned Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi awkwardly shook Mu Lan’s hand. Her face was still wet with the tears she shed earlier.

"Let’s go to the café so both of you can have a proper talk while sitting. Mu Lan must be tired."

Jiang Xi frowned. She could see that Mu Feng cared about Mu Lan. Nevertheless, she followed the two of them to a nearby café.

Mu Feng ordered a cappuccino for Jiang Xi while Mu Lan ordered fruit juice.

"Why did you believe the nonsense that Mu Bai told you? Don’t you trust me anymore?" Mu Feng sounded aggrieved. He reached out and held Jiang Xi’s hand.

"I am sorry Feng. We haven’t seen each other for a few days now. Besides, what do you expect me to feel when I see you looking so endearingly to a beautiful pregnant woman? Plus the fact that I know you only have one female cousin."

"I apologize for making you worry sister-in-law." Mu Lan said softly.

"Where did you come from Sis? How come I never saw you before? Did you come from abroad?"

Mu Lan paused. She did not how to start explaining.

"I met an accident and Grandpa saved me. It was also at that time, he accidentally found out that I am his granddaughter. He and my grandmother have a relationship when he went abroad. That was before he married Feng’s Grandma." Mu Lan explained.

Jiang Xi nodded in agreement. She was still however doubtful but she can always ask Grandpa Heng about the truth of the matter.

They were enjoying their drinks when a chubby woman with curly long hair in her late twenties shamelessly approached them.

"Good after Young Master Feng. I am Tang Xiyan, a commercial director of Madonna." She extended her hand as a greeting and Mu Feng politely accepted it.

"Sorry to disturb your drinks. We are supposed to do a photo shoot for our maternity series but the model had an accident." She glanced at Mu Lan with interest. "We were observing your companion since earlier and thought she will be perfect to model our dresses. We can discuss the compensation."

"We don’t lack money." Mu Feng cut her.

Mu Lan however thought that it was an interesting offer. She will earn her own money by simply wearing clothes. Wasn’t that easy money?

"Feng, it is alright. Let us hear her out. If it is something that is easy to do and will not stress me out then why not? I don’t have anything to do at home anyway." Mu Lan shared her thoughts.

Mu Feng looked at her and pondered for a moment. "All right, if that is what you want."

Jiang Xi could not believe that Mu Feng agreed just like that. He was normally a difficult person. She even needed a lot of time and effort to coax him to agree on some things but Mu Lan just said a few words and he already agreed. It looked like that Mu Bai’s reign as the Princess of the ’Mu Kingdom’ was over.

"Then Madam Mu, can we start now? The crew is waiting. As for your talent fee, we will pay double the original contract." Tang Xiyan explained hurriedly. Rescheduling the shoot will be more costly for them. It was better to pay that to the young Madam and finish the shoot that day.

"How much is the original contract?" Mu Feng was curious.

"It is 250 thousand dollars." Tang Xiyan divulged the amount without inhibition.

Mu Feng smiled. It was double the amount so Mu Lan would actually benefit from the deal.
