Li An opened his eyes wide when he saw a reply from Li Hanchen. He quickly checked the time.
Oh god! It was already 2:00 am!
Li An thought about the bedtime rules Li Hanchen had laid down for him about sleeping by 11:00 pm. He immediately jumped into bed and pulled up the blanket. He held the phone and smiled at it with all his pearly whites showing before he snapped a picture for Li Hanchen.
“I already went to bed! I did this in the day and only remembered to send it when I went to the bathroom earlier. Goodnight.”
After sending Li Hanchen the text message, Li An tossed his phone aside and curled up under the blanket.
He waited under the blanket for a long time, but Li Hanchen didn’t reply. Li An fell asleep feeling worried.
A private plane was jetting through the clouds up in the air.
Li Hanchen frowned deeply when he read the PowerPoint file on his screen while he sat in the cabin.
He was particularly annoyed when he saw Li An’s text message which read: [Sis-in-Law gave Qiao Siyu her phone number. He sent her home last night.]
Outside the window, the plane had just flown past some cumulonimbus clouds before lightning could be seen. The angry look on Li Hanchen’s face was equally intense as the dark clouds outside.
The next day, the weather was unusually good in the capital.
Mu Sheng woke up and saw a text message from Li Hanchen five minutes ago.
[I had to leave town at the last minute. Sorry about forgetting to pick you up last night. I found a driver to send you around.]
Mu Sheng yawned and replied: [It’s fine.]
In any case, she had some money, so it was perfectly fine for her to hail a cab.
Li Hanchen almost instantly replied: [The driver charges by the day and I have already paid him.]
[Fine.] Mu Sheng did not want to keep talking about this, so she replied succinctly before washing up.
Meanwhile, the plane had already landed at Continent M.
Two rows of men dressed in suits stood inside the airport reverently. The moment Li Hanchen came out, they bowed respectfully, “Hi, Mr. Li.”
Moments later, they didn’t get an answer from Li Hanchen. Someone furtively checked and saw Li Hanchen texting as he walked with an unusual expression on his face.
Was that a smile?
Just as he was about to take a second look, Li Hanchen turned to glance at him. Everyone lowered their head reverently and looked straight ahead.
Since Mu Sheng was going to operate on Li Hanchen soon and he did not eat regularly in the past, she sent him a reminder as his doctor: [Remember to eat regularly.]
Li Hanchen replied: [Thank you for your concern.]
Mu Sheng raised her brow. It was just a reminder. Fine. He could treat it as her concern towards him.
Li Hanchen quickly sent several more text messages.
[You should eat regularly too.]
[Remember to put on a scarf and gloves when you go out so that you don’t catch a cold.]
[I will get Auntie Lin to send you lunch. Tell her what you feel like eating.]
Li Hanchen sent a lot of text messages to Mu Sheng. Just as Mu Sheng was feeling puzzled after reading the last message, she received another: [Since you are so concerned about me, mind if I do the same for you?]
Mu Sheng went quiet. She contemplated and felt there was nothing wrong with this. However, she could not help sensing something amiss with this question.
Before she could think about it, Li An had called Mu Sheng down for breakfast. Mu Sheng replied to Li Hanchen: [I don’t mind.]
She proceeded to turn off her phone and went downstairs.
Li Hanchen walked out of the airport surrounded by his subordinates.
Since the atmosphere felt awkwardly quiet, someone put on a bold front and made small talk. “Mr. Li is such a busy man. You even have to work while walking.”
The rest of the people who knew Li Hanchen’s personality well broke out in cold sweat. Everyone knew that no one was supposed to talk to Li Hanchen voluntarily unless he started the conversation. Otherwise, he would get annoyed.
Li Hanchen unexpectedly seemed nice and friendly this time around. He even turned his head sideways to glance at the man.
“It wasn’t about work. My wife was simply worried about me and reminded me to eat regularly.”
