Chapter 225: Mu Sheng Kisses Li Hanchen

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

For a moment, Li Hanchen felt as though time had stopped. Even though she had kissed him gently, it felt as though he was struck by lightning.

Li Hanchen swallowed saliva as he looked at Mu Sheng right in front of him. Her eyelashes were curly and her eyes were bright and unsullied.

“You…” Li Hanchen finally forced a word out of his mouth.

“Don’t move.” Mu Sheng kissed Li Hanchen by the corner of his lips once more.

Li Hanchen held his breath and froze where he was.

Mu Sheng raised her brow slightly. She did not expect the kiss to be so effective. Li Hanchen quietly sat and seemed to have forgotten his pain. Mu Sheng swiftly applied acupuncture and treated him.

After some time, Mu Sheng extracted all the silver needles. Li Hanchen remained sitting where he was motionlessly.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Sheng glanced at him quizzically as she waved her hand in front of him. “Are you still in pain? Tell me where.”

Li Hanchen pondered before looking at Mu Sheng. “What did you just do?”

“I kissed you off course,” answered Mu Sheng candidly. “Is there a problem?”

Li Hanchen clenched his right fist and his eyes became dark. “Why did you do it?”

“Don’t you remember what you said?” Mu Sheng turned her head. “You said it could be used as a distraction.”

Li Hanchen went quiet. He suddenly recalled the random words he told Mu Sheng in the afternoon. He inhaled deeply and said, “You can’t do this to anyone else, got it?”

Mu Sheng felt bewildered. “Why not?”

“I said no.” Li Hanchen looked increasingly angry.

“Tell me why.” Mu Sheng felt Li Hanchen was being unreasonable again.

“If you don’t do as I say, you can forget about having any more candy.” After thinking hard, Li Hanchen could only threaten Mu Sheng with candy.

Mu Sheng went speechless, but it certainly worked. She pursed her lips. “Okay.”

The moment she finished her sentence, Mu Sheng felt infuriated by Li Hanchen’s unreasonable requests and promptly left with her things.

Although her face was relatively expressionless, Li Hanchen knew she must be angry.

Li Hanchen more or less knew Mu Sheng’s personality now. Mu Sheng was easy to convince as long as things were reasonable.

He did not run after her right away. Instead, he sat where he was to compose himself for some time before he stood up and headed out.

——

Meanwhile, in the other compound.

Chu Rao outrightly sat on the couch to rest since she was injured.

Since she was a casualty, she was in no condition to cook. Instead, Ye Zhipei had to wash the ingredients and cook.

“I am so hungry.” Chu Rao sat in the living room and waited for a long time, but Ye Zhipei did not come out with dinner. She was absolutely famished.

Chu Rao looked over the moment she heard sounds coming from the kitchen. Before long, Ye Zhipei came out with the food.

Chu Rao finally went quiet as he brought out the dishes.

She blinked. “Did you make this?”

Ye Zhipei wanted to say who else could have done the cooking, but when he glanced at the bruises on Chu Rao’s body, he said in a gentler tone, “Just make do, okay?”

“Fine.” Chu Rao was already drooling, but she continued to act nonchalantly. “Prof Ye, your cooking looks really average.”

Ye Zhipei did not take it to heart and handed her a bowl and chopsticks.

Chu Rao tried some stir-fried shredded potatoes and was quiet for once.

The stir-fried shredded potatoes were particularly sour, but they suited Chu Rao’s palate.

Chu Rao always complained that the stir-fried shredded potatoes at Metropolis University’s canteen were not sour enough to her liking, so Ye Zhipei always came armed with a bottle of vinegar.

Chu Rao pondered before she glanced at Ye Zhipei. “Prof Ye, do you prefer sour food?”

Ye Zhipei acknowledged without explaining further.

Chu Rao felt even more puzzled after trying some vegetables.

Chu Rao had an unusual palate. She liked her stir-fried vegetables cooked until they were particularly soft.

The stir-fried cabbage that Ye Zhipei had made was exceptionally soft in texture.

Chu Rao had a lot of questions on her mind, but they were on camera and Ye Zhipei looked unapproachable, so she did not have the chance to ask.

Chu Rao felt preoccupied as she ate dinner and only remembered to stop when she was too full.

“I’m done.” Chu Rao put down her chopsticks and wanted to stand to get some water, but she promptly recalled she had gotten hurt because of Ye Zhipei, so she sat back in her seat. “Sigh. I am so thirsty, but my leg hurts. Why don’t you…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Zhipei had already stood up to get her some water.

Chu Rao furtively smiled as she drank the water. She felt she could finally get back at him!

Ye Zhipei briefly felt powerless before he composed himself when he caught Chu Rao secretly smiling.

“You have to make up for it.” Chu Rao raised her chin. “You will be in charge of all the cooking for the rest of the episode!”

Chu Rao felt triumphant thinking that her status would finally rise from serf to the landowner.

“There is only two days’ worth of filming needed for the first episode.” Ye Zhipei instantly foiled her plans.

“Huh? What do you mean? Are we done filming already?” Chu Rao looked at Ye Zhipei in astonishment.

“Uh huh.” Ye Zhipei nodded. “You need to go back for treatment anyway.”

“Fine.” Chu Rao lowered her eyes and seemed a little disappointed.

“Have an early night. We have to go to the airport in the morning.”

“Sure.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Ye Zhipei left the room.

Chu Rao glanced at Ye Zhipei from behind before looking at the dishes on the table. She could not put a finger on how she felt now.

Was this disappointment she was feeling?

Chu Rao quickly wiped the thought from her mind the moment it emerged.

She probably only missed the good food here! That must be it! How could she be reluctant to leave a stupid man like Ye Zhipei?

——

Mu Sheng sat in the room for a long time.

In her past life, Mu Sheng had no feelings whatsoever since she was bred to be a tool for the government. Tools like her could not have any emotion.

However, she recently inexplicably kept feeling annoyed whenever Li Hanchen made her upset.

Mu Sheng sat in the room for nearly 30 minutes, but Li Hanchen did not come to apologize, so she stood up and closed the door.

Humph. If he did not want to apologize, she would ignore him tomorrow as well.

Just as she was about to close the door, a large hand stopped her, and she could hear Li Hanchen’s voice, “Still up?”

Mu Sheng hurriedly tried to close the door. “What are you doing here? Are you here to threaten me again?”

Li Hanchen walked over and smiled slightly. “Uh huh.”

“Go away.” Mu Sheng was even angrier. He was too much. “I am going to bed.”

Li Hanchen took out a small bowl and handed it to Mu Sheng. “I came to threaten you to eat dumplings.”

The moment Mu Sheng smelled the fragrant dumplings, it instantly whetted her appetite. She glanced at the food. “I’m not eating it. Take them away.”

“Really?” Li Hanchen took out a spoon and cut a dumpling open. Its scent came wafting out.

Mu Sheng went quiet. She glanced at the dumplings. “Is it pork?”

Li Hanchen suppressed his smile. “Uh huh.”

“In that case, I will try one.” Mu Sheng took the ball and went out slowly.

The production team was out having a meeting when Mu Sheng treated Li Hanchen, so they did not have the kissing scene on camera.

Now that all the cameramen were in place, they could not help feeling puzzled hearing their conversation. Were they missing something here? Did something happen while they were away?

[Huh? What is she talking about? What threat? Why don’t I understand what they are talking about? This is so strange.]

[It doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is how cute Mu Sheng is. Why is she so easy to coax? She was so angry a moment ago, but she was quickly brought over by a bowl of dumplings.]

[Where can I buy a girlfriend like Mu Sheng? I would like to get one for myself. She looks like an easy eater.]

All the viewers watched as Mu Sheng ate the dumplings while Li Hanchen looked like the perfect boyfriend.

Mu Sheng sat in front of the table and took a bite of dumplings, and her eyes instantly lit up. “Did you use the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots we dug in the day?”

Its juicy meat filling tasted refreshing and smelled like summer. Soup oozed from the dumpling with a single bite and spread across her mouth.

The meat tasted satisfying and the wild vegetables balanced it perfectly. The meat was soft while the bamboo shoots tasted crisp.

For a moment, Mu Sheng forgot about her fight with Li Hanchen. She looked at Li Hanchen with admiration. “Why is it so yummy?

Li Hanchen said nothing as he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. “This is all yours.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng smiled as she focused on finishing off the dumplings.

Li Hanchen sat by the side and quietly watched as Mu Sheng ate the food.

[If Li Hanchen doesn’t like Mu Sheng, I will swallow my phone! In all my years of watching romance, this is undoubtedly true love!]

[Just look at the way he looks at her… This is killing me!]

The audience howled excitedly as they watched.

However, it was particularly quiet in the compound and only Mu Sheng’s chewing could be heard.

——

The weather was fine the next day. The sky was blue and clear and clouds resembling cotton candy floated in the sky.

After the guests woke up in the morning, they gathered at an ancient bridge in the small town.

The director told the production team to take note of the things the guests had come with along with the money they had left.

“The first episode has come to an end.” The director clapped his hand. “The next episode will be airing a month from now. It will also be filmed at a brand new location. I hope to see you then.”

The moment he finished his sentence, the cameras turned to the guests.

The viewers howled when they heard this.

[I just got hooked! How could you do this to me?]

[Can’t you film for one more day? I am heartbroken thinking I have to wait one month for the next episode to air. Sobs.]

[I am so mad. I wish I could get reborn as the director and make filming go on. He has me in absolute suspense. Fine. One month it is!]

The instant the live telecast ended, everyone kept talking about the groups of guests.

Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng were the most popular group.

The show had temporarily ended, but there were a lot of classic romantic moments throughout the three days it aired. The viewers were absolute fanatics.

Meanwhile, on the plane.

Chu Rao kept harassing Mu Sheng to chat with her.

Chu Rao was not the quiet type, but she did not dare talk to Wen Lan owing to her poised and elegant aura.

Instead, Chu Rao felt Mu Sheng was an easy target.

Just as Chu Rao expected, Mu Sheng responded every time Chu Rao spoke to her despite her cool exterior.

Mu Sheng was particularly interested in gossip about the entertainment industry, and so was Chu Rao. She kept telling Mu Sheng about all the dirt.

Li Hanchen and Ye Zhipei sat by the side and said nothing.

Men knew men best. Even though Ye Zhipei and Li Hanchen did not talk, they knew what each other were thinking.

“Mr. Li, you look a little familiar,” said Ye Zhipei moments later.

Since they were on the program for a couple of days, Ye Zhipei’s question sounded strange, but Li Hanchen knew what he meant.

“Well, a lot of people look similar,” acknowledged Li Hanchen mildly.

“Mr. Li has an unusually powerful aura.” Ye Zhipei adjusted his spectacles. “Have you only come back home recently from abroad?”

Li Hanchen raised his head and glanced at Ye Zhipei. The moment he made eye contact with Ye Zhipei, Li Hanchen pondered.

Just as he was about to speak, Chu Rao came walking over. “Do you have a blanket? I think Mu Sheng wants to sleep.”

Li Hanchen stood up. “I will get one.”

Chu Rao tutted as she watched Li Hanchen leave from behind. “See how gentlemanly he is? People really need to take a leaf from his book.”

The moment she finished her sentence, Chu Rao deliberately glanced at Ye Zhipei. However, Chu Rao instantly got scared when she saw his cold eyes.

Meanwhile, at the villa.

After hearing that Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng would be back soon, Auntie Lin woke up first thing in the morning and prepared a sumptuous feast.

Since it was Saturday, Li An had no school. He sat in the living room earnestly waiting for his big brother and sister-in-law to come home.

Li An’s eyes lit up when he heard a car in the driveway and the door opened. Li An ran over towards the door happily, but he frowned the moment he saw the person at the door.

“Who are you? Who let you in?”

Four to five cars had pulled up at the main entrance, and men dressed in uniform got out of the cars armed with guns.

“Young Master Li, please come with us to the police station. We received intel that you have been taking drugs.”

“What the hell? Me? Take drugs?” Li An opened his eyes wide.

“I don’t care if you have taken them, but you have to come with me.” The moment the uniformed man finished his sentence, he gestured for his subordinates to take Li An.

Ever since the incident at school, there were a lot of secret guards protecting Li An.

Now that someone was attacking Li An, all the secret guards suddenly appeared from hiding and stood in front of Li An to protect him.

Li An was astounded to see secret guards appear out of nowhere.

What the hell? Was he in a movie or something?

Li Ming’s voice came from the captain’s earpiece. “Get him. Bring Li An back.”

Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng were not around, and since Li Hanchen did not fall for his ploys, he had to get back at them using Li An.

The captain gave the order when he heard what Li Ming said and everyone went charging towards Li An.

Li An wanted to tell the secret guards to watch out, but he promptly saw them beating up the cops effortlessly.

Li An was stupefied. If they were not in the middle of a fight, Li An would have knelt and begged for them to take him in as a disciple.

People were sprawling all over the ground. The moment the captain sensed something amiss, he wanted to retreat, but the secret guards stopped him.

Meanwhile, a car could be heard outside. Li An raised his head and his eyes instantly lit up. “Big Bro!”

Li Hanchen got out of the car and glanced around. Everyone instantly trembled in fear when they saw him.

“Young Master Li, I am a government official. If you refuse to come peacefully, you are breaking the law, got it?” The captain stepped forward when he saw Hanchen and waved his name tag at Li Hanchen.

“Oh really?” asked Li Hanchen softly. Li Hanchen wanted to take care of these a*sholes himself, but Mu Sheng was in the car, so he did not lose his cool.

“That goes without saying.” The captain thought Li Hanchen was afraid when he saw the calm look on Li Hanchen’s face. “Let me tell you. It’s a crime to attack government officials. Do you know who we are? How could you beat us up? Just you wait. I am going to make you regret it.”

The moment he finished his sentence, the captain glanced at his subordinates. Everyone stood up and left the yard cautiously. Since Li Hanchen did not give any orders, the secret guards did not stop them.

After they left, the secret guards disappeared.

Li An went up to Li Hanchen. “Big Bro, did you hire those people to protect me?”

Li An instantly felt it was impossible the moment he finished his sentence. His older brother was a poor man. How could he afford to hire so many martial arts experts?

“They belong to the owner of the house,” explained Li Hanchen.

“I see.” Li An nodded. “They were awesome!”

Meanwhile, Mu Sheng had gotten off the car. Li An beamed as he ran over to her. “Sis-in-Law!”

Mu Sheng nodded before she entered the house with Li An following behind her.

Li Hanchen stood where he was and waited until they had gone into the house before he made a call and left some instructions.

He pondered as he looked at the police batons on the ground coldly.

The Li family had a death wish.

——

After eating, Mu Sheng went back to her room and cleaned up before getting ready to do a live telecast.

Mu Sheng had been gone for days, so the viewers were absolutely disgruntled.

The moment she started to live telecast, comments surged in the channel.

People kept talking about how much they missed seeing God Mu game. Some people excitedly exclaimed Mu Sheng was online.

After someone reminded her online, Mu Sheng recalled something.

If memory served her right, “Song of Youth” was getting air tonight on television
