Chapter 163: Mr. Li’s Ploy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mu Sheng packed up and prepared to leave the film set.
She was now in the habit of eating candies.
Li Hanchen did not give her many candies this morning and did not send lunch. Since Li Hanchen did not give Mu Sheng more candies, she was completely out when she felt like having some around the time she was about to finish work.
Mu Sheng pursed her lips as she contemplated. It was unclear if she was thinking about the candy or Li Hanchen.
Li Hanchen was not around when she got home. Only Li An sat in the living room struggling with his Math homework.
Li An raised his head when he heard the footsteps and felt excited. “Sis-in-Law, my brother is doing overtime at the office, so we can have pork ribs to our heart’s content..”
Li An had spent the entire day suffering in school and the only thing that could comfort him was pork ribs.
Mu Sheng’s eyes lit up briefly. “Is he not coming home for dinner?”
“Uh huh.” Li An nodded. “He called earlier to tell me about it.”
Mu Sheng said nothing. She put down her things and went upstairs and only came down when it was dinnertime.
Li An finally realized what it was like living under his older brother’s rule come dinner time.
Although Li Hanchen was not at home, he had told Auntie Lin to prepare Li An’s meal solely and to ensure portion control. Li An was not allowed to eat anything else other than what he was served.
After Li An was done with dinner, he continued feeling hungry, so he looked at Auntie Lin miserably.
Li An resembled Li Hanchen a lot, so he had well-defined features. Only Li An’s eyes were slightly rounder than Li Hanchen. He looked very adorable when he looked at people earnestly, so people could not resist giving in.
Auntie Lin smiled. Although she liked Li An a lot, she could not disobey Li Hanchen’s orders. “Young Master An, that won’t do. Young Master has given instructions not to give you extra food.”
Li An sneered when he realized there was no chance of squeezing more food out of Auntie Lin. “Fine.”
He decided never to be friends with his older brother. Li Hanchen was absolutely petty.
Li An was done with dinner and there was no chance of getting more pork ribs, so he slumped his head as he left the dining table and continued getting tortured by Math.
Mu Sheng continued eating by herself, but nothing tasted right.
Mu Sheng used to love prawns, but she stopped after taking a bite as it had a shell.
In the past, Li Hanchen always peeled the prawns and placed them in her bowl.
Mu Sheng ate chili and felt a burning sensation on her tongue. She automatically reached her hand out to have a drink, but there was no warm water waiting for her.
Mu Sheng was stunned.
Li Hanchen was not around today to pour water for her.
The meal tasted bland, so Mu Sheng only took a few bites before going upstairs.
Li Hanchen stood in front of the huge French windows at Flourishing Age Group as he quietly listened to Auntie Lin calling to inform him about Mu Sheng’s situation.
“Young Master, do you think Young Madam is sick? She doesn’t seem to have any appetite tonight. She usually loves eating prawns, but she only ate one tonight and spat it out right away. It was so strange. Why don’t you bring her to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow?”
Li Hanchen looked out the window at the traffic beneath as light reflected off his eyes. “Got it. Send her some supper at 11:00 pm.”
“Okay. Yes, Young Master,” acknowledged Auntie Lin.
Li Hanchen contemplated after hanging up the phone.
He knew full well why Mu Sheng did not eat any prawns tonight.
He had permeated Mu Sheng’s life bit by bit, so it was not easy for her to get used to not having him around.
He had all the patience in the world needed to get the girl.
Someone suddenly knocked on the door.
“Mr. Li, Li Ming has been asking to see the CEO of Flourishing Age Group.” Qin Kai entered the room and placed a stack of documents on the table.
Li Hanchen turned around. “Find out what he wants.”
“Okay, Mr. Li.” Qin Kai checked the time. It was already 9:30 pm. Was the boss not planning on going home?
Before Li Hanchen came home, the office was his home. Qin Kai had never seen Li Hanchen stay at home for more than six hours.
After they came home, Qin Kai witnessed first-hand as Li Hanchen gradually started to show up late and leave early.
What was going on today? Was he returning to his previous workaholic pace?
Qin Kai thought about the divorce papers and told Li Hanchen, “Mr. Li, the divorce papers will be ready tomorrow.”
Li Hanchen appeared completely calm and it was impossible to read his thoughts. He nodded. “Show it to me tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Qin Kai could not help frowning after leaving the office.
Each time he felt he could keep up with Li Hanchen’s mind, Li Hanchen would do something unanticipated throwing him completely off course.
Li Hanchen sat in the huge office behind the desk dressed in a suit. He occasionally raised his head as he went through the documents and sent gifts to Mu Sheng’s channel.
Mu Sheng’s live telecast went without a hitch tonight.
Flourishing Age Group’s CEO was watching the channel. Also, Cat Live had a team keeping an eye on the channel to ensure orderliness. Hence, the atmosphere in the channel was rather amicable. People only occasionally requested for Mu Sheng to speak.
[Mu, can’t you explain the game to us? You are very good at gaming, but how are we supposed to learn if you don’t say a word. Are you dumb or something? The other channels all have a lively atmosphere, but you don’t say a word. It’s starting to get a little dry in here.]
[You are wrong about God Mu’s live telecast being boring. God Mu’s gameplay is one of the most exciting in the industry. I often sit on the edge of my seat and completely forget to use the bathroom when I am watching him. However, I want to hear God Mu say something as well.]
[Howl! Hubby, can you turn on the microphone? I really want to hear your voice as well. Even if you are using a voice changer, I don’t mind as long as you talk.]
Mu Sheng had already turned on the microphone twice in the channel.
Even after she personally told them she was a woman, everyone felt she was just messing with them by using a voice changer.
After all, they had never seen a girl with such extraordinary gameplay.
Since no one believed Mu Sheng, she could not be bothered to explain.
As Mu Sheng’s gaming level increased, so did the level of gaming difficulty. Teamwork became increasingly important as time progressed.
Mu Sheng genuinely needed to turn on her microphone and communicate with her teammates.
She did not stop to think whether the audience would say she was using a voice changer and simply turned on the microphone.
“One and two head East. Four will go to the West with me.”
Without a doubt, everyone started talking about her voice.
Even her teammates were shocked when they heard her voice.
At the PL Club, someone exclaimed in shock, “Oh god. How could we have encountered a girl at this level? This can’t be real!”
