In her past life, Mu Sheng lived in the laboratory, so she had never experienced a blackout before. Since she was involved in important work, any blackout was likely to cause inestimable damage.
Mu Sheng could not help feeling helpless when she experienced a blackout out of the blue.
Li Hanchen sat in the living room downstairs reading the papers.
Ever since Mu Sheng brought up the divorce papers in the afternoon, a faint crack appeared in their relationship. Although they did not get into a fight, Li Hanchen could sense Mu Sheng distancing herself from him.
Li Hanchen sat in the living room reading the paper, but it was stuck on the first page for three hours without any progress.
Li Hanchen finally snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the click in the living room.
The surroundings suddenly turned dark. Li Hanchen stood up carefully as he reached his hands into his coat pocket and felt for his gun.
Li Hanchen’s phone rang. He pressed it for a look and saw it was Auntie Lin calling.
“Young Master, something went wrong with the electricity. I am looking into it. Why don’t you check on Young Madam? Girls tend to be afraid of the dark.”
Since Li Hanchen was a smart man, he could tell what Auntie Lin was trying to do, but he did not expose her. “Okay.”
Li Hanchen hung up the phone and went upstairs.
Li Hanchen knocked on the door twice before the door opened.
Mu Sheng had just taken a shower, so slightly damp hair was scattered over her shoulder. However, Li Hanchen did not pay attention to Mu Sheng. Instead, he kept looking at her room which was as bright as day.
Mu Sheng stepped back a little and let Li Hanchen in when she detected his surprise. “There was a blackout, so I changed the circuit board. Do you need me to help you fix it?”
Li Hanchen was initially worried. He felt powerless and hilarious when he witnessed the scene in her room. “Do you know how to do that?”
Mu Sheng pulled some loose hair behind her ear. “Uh huh. It’s very easy. Want me to teach you?”
Auntie Lin had secretly cut off the power in the villa downstairs in the power room according to the instruction manual.
Young Master must be upstairs embracing Young Madam and comforting her by now.
It was too bad. If there was a storm going on with some lightning, it would be even more romantic.
This plot always appeared in television dramas. The male and female leads made eye contact and sparks would fly. They proceeded to come closer to each other uncontrollably until the female lead gradually closed her eyes while the male lead held her by the waist and planted a kiss on her cherry red lips.
Auntie Lin did not dare to continue thinking about the plot. Otherwise, it was going to make an old lady like her blush.
Meanwhile, Mu Sheng asked Li Hanchen if he wanted to learn before taking Li Hanchen to the circuit board in the corridor and teaching him upstairs.
“Integrated circuit design (IC design) uses semiconductors for most electric circuit boards. Silicon is usually used…”
Mu Sheng was always a serious woman, so she started explaining it to Li Hanchen using all kinds of professional terms.
Li Hanchen stood by the side and quietly listened with a smile on his face.
His smile was so obvious that even someone as clueless as Mu Sheng could sense it. She glanced at him quizzically. “Did I get something wrong? Why are you smiling?”
A slight glint swept through Li Hanchen’s dark eyes. “I just find you very serious.”
He found her serious and adorable.
Li Hanchen couldn’t help smiling as he spoke.
Mu Sheng went speechless. Li Hanchen must be acting funny again. “What’s wrong with being serious?”
Li Hanchen nodded. “I think it’s good.
He felt it was great that she was so adorable.
Mu Sheng could sense Li Hanchen teasing her. She pondered before turning to leave. “I’m done talking.”
Li Hanchen smiled even more brightly, but he did not call Mu Sheng.
Her guard was down and she was walking around in front of him dressed in her pajamas. He did not dare to stay in the same room as her.
Auntie Lin made plans about caring for Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng’s children as she happily went inside the villa.
Auntie Lin almost thought she was seeing an illusion when she went upstairs and saw light coming from their rooms. She blinked before looking again. It was true. All the other lights in the villa had gotten cut off, but the light in Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng’s bedroom was on.
They were the last two rooms that should have light. Why were they on?
This did not make sense.
Auntie Lin patted her head and thought she must have unintentionally turned the power back on, so she hurriedly went downstairs.
However, the indicators clearly said the power was off.
Was the place haunted or something?
Auntie Lin promptly called the power company. “Hello? I would like to make a complaint. Something is wrong with the power here.”
Li Hanchen sat in front of the desk and gave Qin Kai an order late at night.
The moment Qin Kai saw a message from Li Hanchen giving him instructions for drafting the divorce papers, he slumped into silence.
He contemplated repeatedly before calling Li Hanchen. “Mr. Li, are you talking about your divorce papers?”
Li Hanchen replied definitively, “Uh huh.”
Qin Kai went quiet. He could not understand why Li Hanchen was doing this.
He could tell Li Hanchen adored Mu Sheng and would do anything for her. Why were they suddenly getting divorced?
“Just get it done.” It was always impossible to hear any emotion in Li Hanchen’s voice.
“Yes, Mr. Li.” Qin Kai shook his head as he hung up the phone. He could not understand what they were thinking.
Divorce? In his opinion, they probably wouldn’t succeed.
After putting down the phone, Qin Kai received another call. He glanced at the caller ID before putting it on hands-free. “Yes?”
Shen Lin went speechless and rolled his eyes. “All I did was give you a call. Do you have to sound like I owe you money or something? Bro, this is too much.”
Qin Kai reached his hand out to hang up the phone.
Shen Lin was accustomed to Qin Kai’s actions. Even if he was not there to see for himself, he could imagine what Qin Kai was about to do. “Wait, don’t hang up. I have something to tell you. Chu Xuan has gone home.”
Qin Kai’s hands paused. “Hasn’t he always been in Continent M?”
“Uh huh.” Shen Lin felt puzzled as well. “Since the boss’ schedule is top secret, no one knows. I reckon something happened to the Chu family, so he was in a hurry to go back. Pay attention to them.”
“Got it.” Qin Kai nodded. “Anything else? Otherwise, I’m hanging up.”
“Tsk.” After Shen Lin was done talking shop, he wanted to annoy this cold-hearted Qin Kai.
However, Qin Kai beat him to it and hung up the phone altogether.
Shen Lin went speechless when he realized Qin Kai had hung up on him. “He is so boring. Even with Boss and Qin Kai around, I am still able to remain enthusiastic and positive. I think this is a total miracle. Right, you guys?”
His subordinates stood beside him and chuckled in their hearts. Shen Lin was absolutely right. If Shen Lin had the balls, he should have said it to Li Hanchen’s face.
Shen Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at his subordinates with a smile on his face. “Are you too good for me now? How dare you make fun of me. I genuinely don’t have the guts to say it to the boss’ face, but I certainly have no qualms about holding back your bonuses.”
His subordinates ended up losing their bonuses for nothing. “We are sorry.”
“What have you done wrong?”
They were wrong to show up just when Qin Kai pissed Shen Lin off and ended up being targeted. Even though everyone was thinking the same thing, they said, “It was all our fault. You are perfect.”
Shen Lin sneered and decided to drop it.
Meanwhile, late at night at the Mu residence.
A gentle rhythm that resembled moonlight came trickling down the piano and even softened the atmosphere until the music suddenly stopped.
Mu Xiao frowned as she looked at the manuscript. Why did she keep having problems finishing the last part?
Was there something wrong with the song or her technique?
She had found this manuscript in the classroom drawer.
The moment she glanced through it, Mu Xiao was awestruck. She thought it was composed by someone from school, so she waited in the classroom for days but no one came to ask about it.
She had started learning piano ever since she was a kid, so she could naturally tell this song was a rare piece of art.
She was just having trouble coming up with something to play at the school performance, so this was a godsend.
After confirming it did not belong to someone at school, Mu Xiao secretly took it home and kept practicing it in the hope that she could make a name for herself at the Metropolis University’s school anniversary celebrations.
