Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

Chapter 204: Li Hanchen Coaxes Mu Sheng

Li An furtively entered the bedroom shortly after Mu Sheng turned on the television.

“Sis-in-Law.”

Mu Sheng glanced at Li An. “Yes?”

Li An walked up and sat down on the ground beside Mu Sheng. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu Sheng’s snack. “Does that chocolate come with dual filling and hazelnuts?”

The chocolate was hard to come by. It was very limited on the market and was only available during certain seasons. Li An had been dying to try it.

“Uh huh. Do you want some?” Mu Sheng handed Li An some chocolate.

Li An took a piece of chocolate and placed it in his mouth. Oh god. It was divine! Sure enough, it lived up to its name. His older brother must be some kind of demon. Li Hanchen kept buying his sister-in-law the best things on the market but did nothing of the sort for Li An. Li An wanted to cry.

Li An finally snapped out of his misery halfway through eating the chocolate and suddenly remembered his mission.

He glanced at Mu Sheng furtively. “Sis-in-Law, I want to ask you something. You have to answer me honestly.”

“Go ahead.”

“What do you think about my older brother?”

Mu Sheng looked at Li An quizzically. “Why are you asking this?”

“Just tell me. Do you think he is handsome?”

Mu Sheng nodded. “Uh huh.”

No matter the angle, Li Hanchen was undoubtedly gorgeous.

“Do you think he is a nice guy?” Li An continued asking.

“Uh huh.”

“Okay. Got it.” Li An smiled happily as he ran downstairs.

Mu Sheng looked at him perplexedly as he left.

What had gotten into both of them today? She did not understand why they kept behaving so strangely.

Li An ran over to Li Hanchen’s room so happily that he even forgot to knock.

“Big Bro, I’ve got it!” Li An suddenly caught sight of Li Hanchen’s computer screen just as he was about to speak. “Big Bro, are you playing video games?”

“Nope. It was just an ad.” Li Hanchen turned off the web page calmly before he turned around. “Yes?”

“I see.” Li An was completely unsuspecting. After all, Li Hanchen did not look like a gamer. “I want to pass a message from Sis-in-Law.”

“Go on.”

“Sis-in-Law said she thinks you are handsome and nice, so she likes you a lot.”

Li Hanchen went quiet. Although Li Hanchen knew Li An was exaggerating matters, he could not help feeling happy.

However, Li Hanchen promptly smacked the table. “Bring your homework over. I will keep an eye on you while you do it.”

Li An instantly felt powerless.

——

Meanwhile, the town had lit up.

Everyone was sitting around the conference table going through the membership applications at the National Music Association.

“Tsk. The quality of this year’s applicants is really low. Barely any of them are good enough. If Master Ouyang saw this, he would probably think we have trouble grooming talent.”

“Didn’t you say that a talented young woman performed at Tsing University’s school anniversary celebrations? Did she apply for membership with us?”

“Yes, she did. Here it is. Her name is Mu Xiao.” The moment the president finished his sentence, someone placed the recording Mu Xiao had submitted with her application in front of him.

“Play it for us.”

A video started playing on the monitor in the conference room.

Mu Xiao sat in front of the piano while music flowed from it. Even though it was a short recording, everyone’s eyes lit up in joy.

“I haven’t heard anyone play this song before. Is this…” The president looked at the person behind him with anticipation.

“That’s right. Mu Xiao composed it, and she performed it at the school anniversary celebrations previously.”

“Perfect! She’s the one!” The president slammed the table. “Although her piano playing technique is average, her song is simply brilliant. Notify Mu Xiao tomorrow that she has been accepted and tell her to come over. You will personally help her hone her piano skills.”

“Okay.”

The president shook his head and closed his eyes as he thought about the beautiful song that felt like the soft glow of the moon.

This song was divine. It was a pity that the young woman had average piano playing skills.

If she could improve her piano skills, the sky was the limit for her.

The National Music Association searched high and low for some way to get in touch with Mu Xiao.

Meanwhile, the Mu residence was in chaos.

Mu Xiao had taken ill.

Mu Xiao wanted to get the song she heard Mu Sheng play right, so she practiced the piano day and night.

Even though the song sounded particularly simple, it was incredibly hard for Mu Xiao to master it. Sometimes, she even practiced the piano until she had cramps in her hands. However, she could never attain the same kind of fluidity as Mu Sheng.

Mu Xiao fainted from disappointment and overworking.

Mu Xiao always had a bad constitution from a young age and frequently showed up at the hospital.

After the doctor examined her, he suggested to the Mu family, “Mu Xiao’s kidneys are failing. Before she turns 20, you have to find a suitable kidney donor if she wants to have any hopes of living a normal life.”

The Mu family had quietly let Mu Sheng go on with her life all these years so that they could use her organs for Mu Xiao.

“Hubby, what should we do now? Zhang Man wiped the tears from her eyes. “Our child is so pitiful.”

Mu Ting felt anxious when he heard Zhang Man’s wailing. He was also very worried about Mu Xiao. “I will call Mu Sheng. Don’t worry about it.”

“Don’t bother.” Zhang Man lowered her head. “Mu Sheng has already gotten married. There is no way you can make her come back.”

Since Mu Ting was a big-time male chauvinist, Zhang Man’s words instantly triggered him.

How could he allow his authority to get challenged?

“Who does she think she is?” Mu Ting frowned. “I will call her this instant.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Mu Ting called Mu Sheng.

“Yes?” Mu Sheng’s cool voice came from over the phone.

“Get your a*s to Metropolis Hospital this instant.” Mu Ting suppressed his anger. His daughter was getting ruder by the day. Should she not at least greet him first?

Mu Sheng slowly clicked record before she finally answered, “Why? I am not sick. Why should I go to the hospital?”

“You have already undergone examination and the doctors confirm you are the perfect donor for your little sister.”

“I see,” said Mu Sheng mildly. “Don’t people usually donate just one kidney?

“Just donate both your kidneys to your little sister. I will get an expert to make you artificial kidneys. Trust me. They work even better than your original kidneys. Nothing could possibly go wrong.”

Mu Sheng found his twisted logic hilarious. She felt puzzled how the original owner of the body could live in a family like this.

“If they are that good, why don’t you use them on Mu Xiao?”

“You unfilial child!” Mu Ting felt Mu Sheng was challenging his authority. “You have to come to Metropolis Hospital tomorrow. Otherwise, just you wait.”

Mu Sheng hung up the phone and saved the audio recording.

She always knew how the original owner of the body died. The original owner of the body was abducted to the hospital because she believed her so-called biological father’s lies.

She was deceived and told it was just a normal checkup.

After the check-up, the original owner of the body finally found herself lying on the surgery table. She ended up getting injected with medication and prepped for the organ donation.

The doctor must have made a mistake and botched the dosage. The original owner of the body ended up dying on the surgery table before Mu Sheng transmigrated into her body.

Now, her so-called biological father wanted to pull the same stunt a second time. Dream on!

Mu Sheng ran out of water, so she naturally called Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen came into the room ten minutes later.

Although Li Hanchen knew Li An must have exaggerated things, his ears inexplicably blushed slightly just thinking about Mu Sheng praising him for his good looks and personality.

“Li Hanchen,” shouted Mu Sheng, making Li Hanchen snap out of his thoughts.

“Uh huh.”

“What’s on your mind?” Why did she have a feeling Li Hanchen was blushing?

“Nothing. Why are you still up at this hour? You shouldn’t snack so much.” Li Hanchen attempted to conceal his uneasiness as he spoke quickly in a slightly stern tone.

He removed the snacks. He spotted Mu Sheng staring at him when he turned his head.

“Why are you being fierce to me again?” Mu Sheng’s voice sounded puzzled and slightly resentful.

“No, that was not what I meant.” Li Hanchen took her glass. “I will get you more water.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Li Hanchen went to the kitchen to get Mu Sheng some water.

By the time he got back to the room, Mu Sheng had already laid down in bed and had covered herself with a blanket.

“Weren’t you thirsty? Get up and have a drink before you sleep.”

“No,” answered Mu Sheng taciturnly.

She did not realize how sulky she sounded.

Li Hanchen walked up to her. “I wasn’t being fierce. Have a drink.”

Mu Sheng pulled up the blanket and covered her head.

She did not know what had come over her. An unfamiliar emotion was swelling in her heart and making her annoyed.

She simply felt there was something different about Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen used to be so nice. Now, he kept throwing a temper at her, and she did not understand what he was saying.

She felt bullied.

Li Hanchen found it hilarious when he saw Mu Sheng bury herself in the blanket.

He walked up to her. “Are you really not going to get up?”

“No.” A muffled voice came from under the blanket.

Li Hanchen smiled as he reached his hands out to pull Mu Sheng from under the blanket and forced her to sit in bed. He pulled the blanket from Mu Sheng’s head to reveal her blushing face.

Li Hanchen placed the cup by her mouth. “Okay. My bad. Why don’t I give you a present tomorrow to make up for this?”

Mu Sheng had never received a present in her life, so Li Hanchen promptly caught her attention. She drank water from the cup he was holding. From Li Hanchen’s perspective, Mu Sheng’s long curly eyelashes were visible. She looked as exquisite as a doll. The doll raised her head with her eyes glinting in excitement. “What is it?”

“You will find out tomorrow.” Li Hanchen laughed. “Enough. Go to bed.”

“Uh huh.” Mu Sheng prepared to lie down, but something crossed her mind. “Why don’t you just sleep here?”

Li Hanchen suddenly turned around.
