Handsome CEO’s Darling Wife

In the moon light, Mu Lan could clearly see Mark standing beside the lake. The cold breeze blew, making Mu Lan shiver a little.

Mark Anthony didn't look at her. He calmly glanced at the lake. Slowly, the moon was covered with a black cloud.

Mu Lan frowned. 'What is wrong with him now?'

After a few seconds later, Mark began to take off his clothes while his back was turning at her. He was still silent.

"…Wait! What are you doing?!" Mu Lan exclaimed. She didn't know where to look. However, she had to admit that that middle-aged guy had a body that would make any girl drool except for her.

Without a word, Marl took off everything except for his underwear and dived in the lake.

Mu Lan's jaw dropped. She was speechless. She was expecting an exciting story but not this. Mark had his way to introduce himself. She had to give him that.

'But hey, did he really dive in the lake? Why wasn't there any sound?' Mu Lan found it very strange.

When Mark dived, there was no sound of water. Even the water didn't move. He just simply vanished and it was like he didn't touch the water of the lake at all.

Mu Lan rubbed her eyes thinking that she might have been hallucinating. Seeing the clothes were still there, she walked closer to the lake and saw the clothes. She bent down and touched the clothes.

"Oh, so this is real. I didn't hallucinate." She confirmed her doubt. "But is he really there?" She peeped at the water.

All of a sudden, Mark showed up from under the water.

Feeling startled, Mu Lan fell backwards on the ground with a yelp sound. This little scream felt like a loud sound since the place was quiet. She covered her mouth in surprise.

"Here, I'm trying so hard not to make a sound and you had to scream like you are watching a horror movie." Mark hissed.

"Sorry…. Wait, why am I apologizing? What are you doing? You are supposed to tell me your story. I'm not here to watch you swimming..." her voice trailed down.

When she was complaining, the huge cloud which was covering the moon moved away and the silver moon light once again enlightened the place.

In the moon light, Mark could be clearly seen. Lake water was dripping from his muscled body. He looked tremendously attractive. It would make any girl breathless. He didn't seem like a middle-aged man at all.

However, in the moon light, in Mark's left chest a mark showed up. It was a white glowing mark. Mu Lan narrowed her eyes and looked at it closely. It was a mark of a snake. A cobra.

Mu Lan opened her mouth. "A snake…?"

"A cobra." Mark replied. She was right.

Mu Lan asked, "Is this a symbol of your team? How did you get that? Some kind of surgery?"

Mark Anthony was speechless.

Someone chuckled from behind.

Mu Lan who was still sitting on the ground jumped and turned back at the same time. She was shocked. 'When did they come?' She wondered.

There were twelve men standing right behind her. One of them was chucking at her question.

Mu Lan looked at them without blinking "You are…"

"We are with him." One of them said. "We are called The Cobra."

Mu Lan laughed. "Pft, what a flashy name!"

"The name was given by you." Mark said from behind.

"Huh?" Mu Lan immediately stopped laughing. "Are you saying that I'm the founder of a team?"

One of them sighed and said, "Don't think to highly of yourself."

Mu Lan's cheek burned. She could only see their solitudes as the moon was behind them. She couldn't recognize any of them. However…

Mu Lan said, "Before we go to the conclusion of who you are, tell me something. How did you come in here? The security is highly unbreakable."

A skinny, tiny man said, "Is there anything impossible for us? I don't think so."

Mu Lan noticed that his style of talking resembled her. She said, "Okay then, the main question, who are you?"

Another man said, "We told you. We are The Cobra."

"I heard that. But what are you? You are not supermen from Justice League. But you seemed to have some remarkable abilities." Mu Lan recalled the time Mark showed his technique using his hands and fingers.

"That we have. We have the abilities that normal humans don't possess. That's why you named us The Cobra." The skinny man said.

"…..Like ninja or something…?" Mu lan tried to guess.

"You are close. But not hundred percent." Another man said.

"Why are making me ask so much? Can't you just describe yourself?" Mu Lan felt like they were playing with her.

Mark answered this time. "The thing is you know everything about us. We don't need to tell you anything. Just regain your memory and that's all you need."

"Fine, do you live here?" She asked with a pissed look.

"No. We live in South America." Another one said.

Mu Lan asked, "Then why are you here?"

The man in the corner answered, "For you."

Mu Lan was alerted. "For me? Do you want something from me?"

The skinny man replied, "No, we are here to protect you."

Mu Lan frowned, "To protect me! From who?"

Someone said in a low voice, "She asks too much."

Another one beside him said, "She is more annoying than she was at her childhood"

She frowned upon hearing their complaints. "I can hear you. Now answer my question."

Another man replied her, "From those who seek your blood."

"…What's with my blood?" Sweat formed in her forehead. 'Shoot! They know too much!'

Mark replied from behind, "Elixir."

Mu Lan narrowed her eyes. "...…And why do you think such weird thing will be in my blood?"

"Because it was me who saved you from the scientific lab in Japan." A muscled man came forward and knelt down in front of her.
