Chapter 88: She Was Back!
Auntie Lin had now grasped Li An’s personality. Even though Li An was delighted to hear this, he acted like he did not believe her. She could not help finding him adorable. “You are his only kin in the world, so of course he loves you.”
Li An was reveling in joy and could not suppress the smile on his face. His older brother definitely loved him in his own way. He wished Li Hanchen would stop being so harsh on him. It was awfully scary for him.
Mu Sheng finally woke up at 10:00 am.
She checked her phone and saw she had received several emails. All of them were from Cat Live. They had been trying to get in touch with her since late last night and had been emailing her until morning. They were so anxious that they were on the verge of kneeling to beg for her reply.
At Cat Live operation department, Liu Qiang was so anxious that he scratched his face. “Why hasn’t he replied yet?”!!
Just as he was about to lose all hope, Mu finally replied. [Yes?]
Liu Qiang immediately told his employee to send a message: [We are very sorry about freezing your account. We would like to make up for it by promoting you on the home page. At the same time, we would like to talk about offering you a contract. When are you free to talk about this?]
Cat Live had two kinds of live telecasters; the first type was independent telecasters. They were not bound by a contract with Cat Live and just needed an account. Independent telecasters had to split half their proceeds with the platform. The other kind of telecasters were contracted and they could take home 70% of all earnings.
A lot of people wanted to become Cat Live’s official live telecasters but failed to meet up to the requirements. Liu Qiang thought Mu would agree without hesitation, but she surprisingly replied: [I don’t mind getting promoted on your main page, but I don’t want to become your official live telecaster.]
After sending the message, Mu Sheng stopped talking.
Liu Qiang sent Mu Sheng a lot of messages, but it was futile. In the end, he could only update his superiors about the situation.
In the villa, Mu Sheng had washed up and was getting ready to go downstairs for breakfast. The moment she stepped out of the room, the bedroom door beside her opened. Li Hanchen walked out dressed in his suit.
“Morning,” greeted Mu Sheng calmly.
Li Hanchen’s eyes lingered on Mu Sheng for a moment and noticed everything was normal with her. He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Morning. Go down for breakfast.”
Auntie Lin prepared breakfast and brought it over to the dining room. She caught sight of Li Hanchen automatically peeling Mu Sheng an egg and her eyes lit up. She had deliberately filled Mu Sheng’s porridge to the brim. She cautiously placed the bowl in front of her now.
Mu Sheng had some porridge before she started to peel some sweet potatoes.
After Li Hanchen was done peeling the egg, he wanted to place it in Mu Sheng’s bowl, but it was already too full and there were no other bowls around.
Li Hanchen’s hand froze for an instant before he reached his hand out and held the egg beside Mu Sheng’s mouth.
Mu Sheng was busy peeling the sweet potato when an egg suddenly appeared beside her mouth. She raised her head to look up and saw Li Hanchen looking calm.
In her past life, the employees who took care of her would do this as well and fed her nutrient solution when Mu Sheng was engrossed with work.
Mu Sheng did not feel anything wrong with this, so she took a bite of the egg from Li Hanchen’s hand before she continued peeling her sweet potato.
A smile swept across Li Hanchen’s face when he saw the small bite she took off the egg.
Mu Sheng kept eating the egg from Li Hanchen’s hand as though it was completely normal. She inadvertently bit his fingertip when she was down to the last bite of egg.
Li Hanchen went stiff with an uneasy look in his eyes the moment she bit him.
Mu Sheng realized her mistake and hurriedly opened her mouth. “My bad.”
The moment Mu Sheng apologized, a faint smile surfaced on Li Hanchen’s face. “You seem to be apologizing to me a lot recently.”
Mu Sheng could not help recalling the awkward incident last night the moment he brought it up.
“It’s fine. Just finish your breakfast before it gets cold.” Li Hanchen voluntarily stopped harping on the subject when he noticed Mu Sheng’s uneasiness.
They had breakfast particularly quietly for the rest of the morning.
Mu Sheng was usually only able to finish half a bowl of porridge, but Auntie Lin had filled her bowl to the brim this time. Even though she was unable to finish it, she did not like wasting food. Despite the slight frown on Mu Sheng’s face, she continued eating porridge.
Li Hanchen suddenly said from beside her, “If you can’t finish it, just stop eating.”
“Wouldn’t the porridge go to waste?”
Li Hanchen reached his hand out and took Mu Sheng’s bowl. “Give it to me.”
Mu Sheng did not find it odd for Li Hanchen to feed her, but it definitely seemed strange for him to eat her leftovers.
“I’m still hungry. What’s wrong?” Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng deeply. There was a calm look on his face as though this was completely normal.
“But…” Mu Sheng wanted to say there ought to be more porridge in the kitchen.
Li Hanchen glanced at Auntie Lin when she walked out and Auntie Lin immediately caught his drift. “Young Madam, was there enough food? I didn’t cook as much, so there isn’t any other food left. If you are still hungry, I will make more for lunch.”
“I’m good. Don’t worry about it.” Mu Sheng swallowed the words she had for Li Hanchen previously.
Auntie Lin smiled as she headed back to the kitchen. She quietly poured the rest of the porridge into the trash can.
Sigh. She was wasting food for the sake of Li Hanchen’s love life. It was such a sin.
Mu Sheng was quite free, so she decided to head to Metropolis University and attend class so that she could learn more about this era.
It so happened that ever since Mu Sheng showed up at school previously, posts about her kept appearing on the main page and the popularity of the discussions simply refused to die down. It only managed to die down a few days ago.
Just as everyone thought Mu Sheng’s photo would finally disappear from the school forum, a new post skyrocketed to number one.
The subject of the post was: [She’s back! Which class do you think she will sit in for this time?]
The post came accompanied by a picture of Mu Sheng dressed in her black coat with a black cap. Even though she wore the cap low, her exquisite profile was breathtaking.
[Hoowl! She is so gorgeous that even her profile is stunning. Where is she? I want to go see her!]
[I am reporting from the frontline. Mu Sheng has gone to the architecture department for class. There are so many people here to see her that the room is bursting with people. I made the post sitting on the passage. To be fair, Mu Sheng is even better looking in person. She is so stunning that it is worth dying to see her.]
[The architecture department? Is she desperate? She sat in for quantum physics previously and now she is in the architecture department. She just keeps going to the faculties with the most number of guys. Even if she wanted to attract more male fans, she did not have to resort to this. This is so low. It’s not like she understands the classes, right?]
People kept talking about her on the forum. Students kept entering the classroom Mu Sheng was in.
Even though the classroom was intended for only dozens of students, it was crammed with over 200 students. However, everyone was surprisingly quiet as all eyes looked at Mu Sheng.
