Mu Xiao came running after them from behind. The moment she climbed up the slope, she saw Li Ming rolling on the ground, so she anxiously told the bodyguards to help Li Ming.
“Ming, are you alright?” Mu Xiao’s eyes brimmed with concern. However, Li Ming evaded her hand angrily before she managed to place it on his shoulder.
“Who told you to send for the bodyguards?” Li Ming was a prideful man. Now that everyone had witnessed his fall, he could not help feeling embarrassed.
Mu Xiao was briefly stunned by Li Ming’s cold angry tone before she said with her eyes slightly teary, “I was just worried about you.”
Li Ming looked into the distance angrily and completely overlooked the injury on his leg.
Mu Sheng looked like a queen as she skied on the snowy mountain. She looked completely weightless as she jumped and turned on the ski track in an utterly fluid motion. It was certainly a feast for the eyes.
Mu Xiao clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms when she saw Li Ming looking at Mu Sheng, so she called his name softly, “Ming.”
Li Ming turned back to glance at Mu Xiao.
Despite the familiar face, Li Ming did not feel anything.
All Li Ming could think about was Mu Sheng’s glacial eyes.
Even though Mu Sheng had a proud aura, he could not help wanting to go closer.
Li Ming went into a daze. Mu Xiao did not dare disturb him when she noticed his silence. Even the bodyguards stood by the side quietly in the strange atmosphere.
After some time, Li Ming suddenly winced as he inhaled. “Ow. My leg is hurt. Bring a stretcher over.”
“Yes, Young Master Li,” said his bodyguards before making arrangements immediately.
Mu Sheng was slowly walking up the mountain when Li Ming was sent down on a stretcher.
Li Ming glanced at Mu Sheng uneasily. “You have won.”
Mu Sheng glanced at Li Ming coldly. “Remember what you promised. From now on, stay away from me.”
Li Ming never liked Mu Sheng to begin with. Now, he had to lie on the stretcher as she looked at him in contempt. He had never felt this humiliated in his life.
“Big Sis, Ming grew up with us after all…” Before Mu Xiao could finish her sentence, she swallowed her words when she made eye contact with Mu Sheng’s glacial eyes.
“Stop acting vulnerable in front of me.” Mu Sheng hated pretentious people like Mu Xiao. Judging from the memories of the original owner of the body, Mu Xiao definitely had something to do with her death.
“Big Sis, you misunderstood me.” Mu Xiao took a couple of steps forward and wanted to hold Mu Sheng’s hand, but Mu Sheng avoided physical contact.
Mu Sheng glanced at Mu Xiao in disdain with a smile on her face. “Do you really have heart disease and renal failure?”
Mu Sheng’s smile left Mu Xiao inexplicably flustered, so she took a step back and suddenly covered her chest. “Ming, I don’t feel too good. Can we leave the ski resort?”
Since Li Ming still had feelings for Mu Xiao, he hurriedly instructed the staff when he saw her frowning, “We are leaving the mountain immediately.”
“Yes, Young Master Li.” Someone stepped forward to help support Mu Xiao before they hurried down the ski resort.
Li Ming automatically glanced at Mu Sheng when he went past her. Mu Sheng’s cool elegant profile seemed untouchable as she stood there with the snowy mountain in the backdrop.
For the first time, Li Ming finally realized Mu Sheng was different now.
It wasn’t just a superficial change. Instead, the change was so huge that it felt as though she was a completely different person.
After Mu Sheng came back to the ski resort, she saw Tang Tiantian looking at her with stars in her eyes.
Even though she was watching from a distance, she could sense her heart palpitating with adrenaline.
It was simply mind-blowing to see Mu Sheng skiing on the mountain with such ease!
The manager of the ski resort also looked excited. “Erm… Miss Mu, we would like to give you free membership for the year. We can waive all charges whenever you come.”
Mu Sheng felt puzzled. “Why?”
The manager pointed up ahead at the people nearby with their phones and cameras pointing in the air. Everyone was looking at Mu Sheng in shock.
The manager smiled so hard that his eyes could not be seen. “Since it will be free publicity, how could I charge you for entry?”
Mu Sheng nodded. “I see.”
“Then it is settled! This way, please. Let’s get you a membership card.” The manager led Mu Sheng into the hall.
Mu Sheng finally parted ways with the enthusiastic manager ten minutes later.
The manager smiled as he watched Mu Sheng leave from behind. “She is genuinely brilliant.”
It was no wonder the higher-ups from the group sent word instructing them to work day and night. They finally added safety precautions on the professional ski track.
Initially, he was puzzled by the group’s decision to invest so much money in the professional track. Would it not end up a sheer waste of funds since barely any people used it? In hindsight, he finally realized that the management was in fact thinking ahead.
Qin Kai heard back with reports from his subordinate at Flourishing Age Group.
“Mr. Qin, we have added safety features to the slope just like Mr. Li asked.”
Qin Kai nodded. “Got it. Just keep checking on the maintenance of the slope’s safety and ensure that the equipment works all the time.”
“Yes, Mr. Qin.”
Qin Kai contemplated after hanging up the phone.
Li Hanchen purchased a professional ski resort out of the blue. From the looks of it, he bought it for Mu Sheng.
Li Hanchen ordered for the original ski track to be maintained and high-end safety features to be installed. It was clear that he had put his heart into the ski resort.
Qin Kai glanced at the divorce papers in his hands and felt powerless. Was this still considered a divorce?
Qin Kai went over to Li Hanchen’s office with the divorce papers in his hands. Li Hanchen was standing at the French windows looking a little lonely. His right hand was on his left hand as he instinctively rubbed the black metal band on his wrist.
“Mr. Li, we have already drafted the divorce papers just like you asked.”
“Put it down,” said Li Hanchen without turning back.
“Yes, Mr. Li.” Qin Kai placed the document on the table. “Young Madam went skiing today. The manager said she is very happy with the ski track.”
Li Hanchen raised his hand and waved his hand to Qin Kai with his back facing Qin Kai.
Qin Kai stopped talking and turned to leave the office.
Li Hanchen walked over and went through the contents of the divorce papers before he sent a text message to Mu Sheng: [The divorce papers are ready. You can sign them tonight when you get home.]
Li Hanchen took a picture of the divorce papers and sent it to Mu Sheng as well.
Li Hanchen had already signed the document.
Mu Sheng quickly replied: [Okay.]
After receiving Mu Sheng’s reply, Li Hanchen rapped his index finger on the table gently.
The tapping of his finger kept reverberating through the room.
Li Hanchen called Qin Kai moments later.
“Apply for leave for Li An for the afternoon and bring him over.”
“Yes, Mr. Li,” acknowledged Qin Kai reverently.
