Chapter 201 - Li Hanchen Feeds Mu Sheng
Chapter 201: Li Hanchen Feeds Mu Sheng
Han Yu even sounded happy. “Shall we meet tomorrow?”
Mu Sheng nodded. “Sure.”
If Li Hanchen was holding a plastic bowl, he would have broken it into two by now.
Mu Sheng raised her head to glance at Li Hanchen when she detected his presence. “Okay. Let’s finish this conversation via WeChat. I have something to do.”
Li Hanchen looked even angrier. Were they even friends on WeChat now?
Li Hanchen went over with the bowl of glutinous rice balls after she hung up the phone.
Mu Sheng automatically reached her hands out. “I want to sit on the bed.”
Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng promptly detected coldness in his eyes. Most people would have promptly lost their cool when Li Hanchen looked at them.
Mu Sheng did not lose her composure the slightest and even urged him. “Hurry up.”
After sitting in the chair for so long, her back was starting to feel sore.
Li Hanchen placed the food on the table before carrying Mu Sheng. She automatically placed her hands on his neck.
Despite the insignificant gesture, Li Hanchen inexplicably felt less annoyed.
Mu Sheng sat on the bed comfortably with her eyes on the bowl of glutinous rice balls on the table nearby. “What’s that round stuff?”
She had never seen anything like it before and it looked delectable.
Li Hanchen wanted to bring the bowl over. However, he glanced at her phone and recalled her conversation with Han Yu, so he stopped moving. “It’s glutinous rice balls. They are all mine.”
“I see.” Mu Sheng looked disappointed and Li Hanchen almost caved in.
“We are expecting a guest tomorrow.” Since she was living under Li Hanchen’s roof, it was only right that she told him about it.
Li Hanchen clearly did not see this coming. He was briefly stunned before he said, “Since your ankle is sprained, shall I stay around tomorrow?”
Mu Sheng did not object. “Okay.”
Li Hanchen instantly recovered from his foul mood. Even Mu Sheng could not help glancing at him quizzically. Why did she have a feeling Li Hanchen did not seem as chilly as before?
In that case, Mu Sheng decided to try her luck. She pursed her lips and said, “Are you going to finish all the glutinous rice balls?”
Li Hanchen felt tickled, but he kept a cool and straight face as he nodded. “Uh huh.”
“In that case…” Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen cautiously in earnest. “Can I have one? I just want to try it.”
The round glutinous rice balls had the same soft texture as glutinous rice dumplings, so Mu Sheng felt they must taste as good.
Despite Mu Sheng’s cool airs, she looked trusting and even a little adorable.
Li Hanchen was willing to give her the moon if she wanted it, let alone a bowl of glutinous rice balls. He walked over with the bowl of food.
Mu Sheng reached her hands out to take the bowl, but Li Hanchen dodged her. “It’s very hot. Let me hold it.”
“Okay.” Mu Sheng sat where she was without moving.
Li Hanchen scooped a single rice ball with the spoon, blew it a couple of times, and placed it by Mu Sheng’s mouth. “It comes with filling. Since it is hot inside, you have to take small bites.”
“Okay.” Mu Sheng took a bite. Sure enough, it had a soft texture. Also, the filling inside tasted sweet. Her eyes opened wide. “It’s great.”
Li Hanchen smiled. “Uh huh.”
Mu Sheng kept looking at the bowl after happily eating the first glutinous rice ball.
Li Hanchen surprisingly held another glutinous rice ball to her mouth, so Mu Sheng raised her head. “Didn’t you say this is yours? I just wanted a bite.”
Li Hanchen moved the spoon in front of her. “You can have it all. I don’t like eating sweet things anyway.”
Mu Sheng took another bite. This time, it had sesame filling. It was not as sweet, but it smelled fragrant.
Mu Sheng ate one glutinous rice ball after another. Before she knew it, she had finished the entire bowl.
Mu Sheng felt a little embarrassed as she looked at the empty bowl. She did not save a single bite for Li Hanchen.
Li Hanchen took out his handkerchief and wiped Mu Sheng’s lips carefully. “I’m not hungry.”
After having her fill, Mu Sheng was in a very pleasant mood.
Light reflected in her eyes making them bright. “Thanks, Hanchen. You are the best.”
Fire lit up in Li Hanchen’s heart when she looked at him this way. He avoided her gaze uneasily. “Stop looking at me.”
Mu Sheng decided to take back what she said since Li Hanchen was still just as harsh.
Li Hanchen knew what Mu Sheng was thinking in her head. “I wasn’t trying to be mean.”
“Yes, you were.”
“No, I wasn’t.” Li Hanchen felt a little powerless.
“Yes, you were.” Mu Sheng was absolutely certain of it. She had seen it with her own eyes. How could he deny it?
Li Hanchen placed the bowl aside powerlessly. “Do you want more glutinous rice balls tomorrow?”
Mu Sheng pondered briefly and decided to give in for the sake of glutinous rice balls. “I take it back. You weren’t being mean at all.”
Li Hanchen’s heart turned to mush when he saw how cute Mu Sheng was. He tried to restrain himself, but he ended up touching her soft hair. “Have an early night.”
The first time he touched her head, Mu Sheng found it uneasy, but she was now accustomed to it.
She nodded. “Okay. I want glutinous rice balls for breakfast.”
“Uh huh.” It took a lot of willpower for Li Hanchen to take his hand off Mu Sheng’s head.
He looked at Mu Sheng’s red lips pensively.
Mu Sheng was so trusting that she forgot he was a normal man.
Li Hanchen turned off the lights as he walked out of the room while Mu Sheng went to bed.
However, Li Hanchen was left restless all night next door.
Li Hanchen looked exhausted the next day, so Mu Sheng asked perplexedly, “Did you have trouble sleeping last night?”
Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng profoundly without answering.
Mu Sheng went quiet. She felt Li Hanchen was getting sterner by the day and even refused to talk to her, so it was impossible to communicate with him these days.
Han Yu came over after breakfast.
He could not believe he was here when he arrived at the villa entrance. Han Yu was all set to close this account last night.
He entered an internet cafe when it was almost 10:00 pm to clean up his account.
The person beside him happened to be watching the live telecast, so he took a quick look and saw Mu Sheng fighting Zhang Jin.
For some reason, Han Yu ended up watching all four rounds.
Han Yu could no longer take it when Zhang Jin shamelessly enlisted the entire GL Gaming Team to fight Mu Sheng, so he added her as a friend and teamed up with her for the last battle.
He had every intention of removing his account, but he inexplicably retained it after talking to Mu Sheng over the phone and even agreed to meet Mu Sheng at her place.
Han Yu shook his head. Since he was already here, he might as well go in.
Just as he was about to press the doorbell, the door suddenly opened and a handsome young man walked out yawning.
Li An was yawning halfway when he saw Han Yu and his eyes instantly opened wide. He quickly suppressed the yawn and said in disbelief, “Hero of the Universe?”
Oh god! It was his idol! Was he dreaming?
Han Yu smiled. “Hi.”
Li An stood in front of Han Yu excitedly. “How do you do? I am your idol!”
The moment he finished his sentence, Li An realized his mistake and hurriedly waved his hands. “No, I meant…”
“It’s fine. I get it.” Han Yu found the young man cute, so he spoke genially. “I am here to see Mu Sheng. Does she live here?”
“Of course!” said Li An as he gave way to Han Yu. “Just go right in. I have to go to school. If I am caught late, my teacher will beat me up.”
“Sure.” Han Yu nodded to Li An as Li An kept turning to look back as he left.
Despite how big the villa was, there were no servants to Han Yu’s surprise. In fact, the place was pretty quiet.
Han Yu walked to the main building and entered through the door. He veered his eyes awkwardly after he caught sight of the scene going on in the living room.
Mu Sheng was lying on the couch watching the television after breakfast as Li Hanchen worked beside her quietly.
The two of them did not speak, but everything seemed nice and peaceful. After some time, Li Hanchen suddenly said, “My back hurts. Can you help me take a look?”
Mu Sheng was completely unsuspecting. “Stand up.”
“Uh huh.” Li Hanchen stood in front of Mu Sheng and bent over slightly.
Li Hanchen had already placed her hand on the right side of his waist before Mu Sheng even moved. “Here. It hurts a little.”
Mu Sheng pressed his waist. “Here?”
“Uh huh.”
From the door, it appeared as though Li Hanchen was bending over to kiss Mu Sheng and she was holding him by the waist.
Han Yu felt awkward when he witnessed this, so he automatically retreated and wanted to leave. However, he unintentionally walked into the door with a clang.
Mu Sheng pulled her hand back and looked at the door. “Han Yu?”
Han Yu nodded. “Uh huh. That’s me. If this is a bad time, I can come back later.”
Mu Sheng waved at him calmly. “It’s fine. It is the perfect time to talk. Come on in.”
Han Yu finally entered the living room.
Li Hanchen had straightened his body and turned to look at Han Yu.
Han Yu promptly detected a highly territorial signal coming from Li Hanchen. He glanced at Li Hanchen and felt intimidated by his powerful aura.
Men could read these signals effortlessly. Han Yu simply nodded to Li Hanchen.
Although Mu Sheng was genuinely pretty, he was not interested in dating her. Since Han Yu was in a bad place now, he was not interested in seeing anyone.
Li Hanchen finally veered his eyes and looked at Mu Sheng. “I will leave you to it. I am going upstairs first.”
“Sure.”
Li Hanchen touched Mu Sheng’s head before he left.
——
Li An happily hummed on his way to school after bumping into his idol first thing in the morning. It felt like it was his lucky day.
However, his good mood did not last and completely dissipated when he saw a bunch of people standing at the school entrance.
He wanted to hide, but it was too late and the people standing at the entrance had already seen him.
“Young Master An.” Someone headed towards Li An.
Li An looked at them annoyingly. “I am not your young master. You really shouldn’t call me that.”
“Your father is already inside the school. Please come back with us, Young Master An.”
“What do you mean?” Li An frowned.
A man came out from the entrance in a huff. It was none other than the head of the Li family and Li Hanchen and Li An’s biological father, Li Ting.
The moment he saw Li An, Li Ting looked even angrier. He walked right over and said, “You are coming back with me. Who says you can attend school here? You are an utter embarrassment.”
Li Ting was here to talk to the principal about transferring Li An when he happened to see the school noticeboard.
Li Ting felt completely ashamed when he saw Li An come in last. Since the principal was not around, Li Ting left empty-handed. The moment he saw Li An, Li Ting was reminded how Li An scored 30 marks for Math, and his blood pressure instantly skyrocketed.
Li An rolled his eyes. “You never bothered disciplining me before. What gives you the right to do it now?”
Li An had barely seen Li Ting all his life. How could Li Ting have the cheek to scold him as though he was an elder now?
“Shut up! You defiant boy! You are just like your stupid older brother. Both of you simply bring shame to the family!” Li Ting glanced at his subordinate. “Take the stupid boy home!”
Li Ting’s subordinates encircled Li An the moment Li Ting finished his sentence. Li An was terrified.
A genial old man suddenly walked out of the school entrance. Li An hurriedly said to the principal. “Mr. Chen, save me!”
Li Ting turned to glance at Chen Wei cautiously.
Eminent Senior High was the best middle school in the country. All the students in the school were from rich and powerful families. Since Chen Wei was the principal, he naturally had a lot of resources.
Even Li Ting had to think twice about offending him.
Li Ting smiled. “Mr. Chen, I was just looking for you, but they told me you weren’t around. I am Li An’s father.”
Chen Wei did not answer Li Ting. Instead, he looked at Li An nearby and waved him over. “Why are you late again? Hurry up and get to class!”
Li An smiled as he nodded. “Uh huh. Mr. Chen, I am going to class right away!”
Now that Chen Wei was around, no one dared to forcibly take Li An home. They could only watch powerlessly as Li An went into the school campus.
Li Ting looked angry. “Mr. Chen, I… I plan on getting Li An transferred. Even though Eminent Senior High is a great school, I want him to study closer to home.”
Chen Wei looked at Li Ting. “Are you Li An’s father?”
“That’s right.”
“Why weren’t you around for admission?”
Li Ting felt awkward when he heard what Chen Wei asked. He wished he could have been there for the admission. He simply did not expect Li An to get admitted into this school. Even Li Ming was unable to attend Eminent Senior High, so Li Ting found it absolutely bewildering that Li An could have gotten in.
“Well, I was busy. I was just…”
Before Li Ting could finish his sentence, Chen Wei gestured for Li Ting to stop and turned to look at him. “Since his elder brother processed his admission, he has to come personally to take Li An out of school. Otherwise, Li An will always be our student.”
The moment he finished his sentence, Chen Wei entered the school while Li Ting stood outside looking absolutely livid.
Li Ting clenched his fists as he looked at Eminent Senior High’s signboard hanging overhead angrily.
“This is outrageous. Do they think they can get away with this?”
Li Hanchen was in the room handling work when he suddenly received a call. Li Ting’s name was blinking on the screen.
Li Hanchen instantly looked annoyed before he answered the phone.
Li Ting’s demanding and furious voice came from over the phone.
“Li Hanchen, get your a*s back home now. I need to talk to you!”
“I’m not going,” rejected Li Hanchen right away.
Li Ting gnashed his teeth furiously. “Fine. If you won’t come, I will remove your mother’s tablet from the ancestral shrine and burn it. Let’s see what you think about refusing my orders now.”
