Li Hanchen rarely saw Mu Sheng throw a temper. The moment he saw how angry she was, he could not help feeling flustered.
Li Hanchen was already halfway taking off his shirt to reveal his well-defined body when Mu Sheng put away her needles. “I’m really sorry. Please go ahead with treatment.”
Mu Sheng went quiet. She was still angry with Li Hanchen and felt he did not care about his condition. “What mistake?”
Li Hanchen could not help feeling happy when he heard her interrogating him. “I shouldn’t have held up your time.”
“Wrong. You shouldn’t have disregarded your condition,” said Mu Sheng candidly.
The moment Mu Sheng finished her sentence, she detected Li Hanchen suddenly looking at her with his eyes brightly lit. Li Hanchen smiled and said, “Are you angry because you were worried about me?”
Li Hanchen’s eyes were so bright that Mu Sheng was unable to look him straight in the eye. She veered her head and replied, “That’s not it.”
Li Hanchen pulled out his shirt with its buttons half-done. He usually looked aloof, but his face was particularly mesmerizing now as he smiled. “Mu Sheng, look at me.”
It was late at night and the lights were soft. However, Li Hanchen’s voice sounded even softer than the lights. Even though Mu Sheng did not have a penchant for sexy voices, Li Hanchen’s voice sounded so husky that she could not help feeling attracted and was starting to feel a little warm. “No.”
Li Hanchen laughed gently. Mu Sheng could not help turning her head.
Li Hanchen smiled with his shirt buttons half-done. He was usually cool, but he was different now. He seemed exceptionally relaxed and his powerful aura was gone.
“I promise to do as you say from now on. Okay? Don’t be mad.”
Li Hanchen looked like a proud man and was not the type to give in.
The moment he smiled and yielded, it promptly sounded like he meant it.
Mu Sheng was briefly stunned as she looked at Li Hanchen in silence.
Li Hanchen stood up and walked up in front of Mu Sheng. He unwrapped the candy and placed it by her mouth with a light in his eyes. “Have one. This is new. It’s a sandwich candy.”
Mu Sheng instinctively swallowed her saliva. Li Hanchen smiled even more deeply as he reached his hands out a little. He placed the candy by Mu Sheng’s mouth with his fingertips touching her lips slightly.
Mu Sheng could not resist eating it. A sweet taste spread through her mouth and her eyes lit up slightly. The candy was genuinely good.
“I will do as you say and get my illness treated,” said Li Hanchen gently as he looked into Mu Sheng’s eyes.
“Okay.” Mu Sheng lost all anger.
“It’s a promise then.” Li Hanchen narrowed his eyes. “From now on, I will do as you say.”
Mu Sheng thought he was still talking about treatment, so she automatically nodded. “Good.”
Li Hanchen’s lips curved up slightly as he looked at Mu Sheng cunningly. “You can’t go back on your word, okay?”
Mu Sheng glanced at Li Hanchen quizzically. What did he mean?
Li Hanchen did not explain himself. “Please give me treatment.”
“Okay.”
Li Hanchen sat down beside her. “My arms kind of ache.”
Mu Sheng walked over. “This is normal. You’ll be fine when you wake up tomorrow.”
Mu Sheng gestured for Li Hanchen to take off his shirt. Li Hanchen frowned the moment he raised his hands. It seemed as though he was in great agony.
Mu Sheng went over. “It’s okay. Let me help you.”
