Chapter 198: Li Hanchen Made Mu Sheng Blush

Mu Sheng’s face was petite, so Li Hanchen almost covered her entire face when he placed his hands over her eyes.

Her long curly eyelashes kept tickling Li Hanchen’s palm, making him flustered.

“I didn’t mean it.” Li Hanchen felt tickled by Mu Sheng’s eyelashes, so he pulled his hand back and looked at her helplessly.

“Yes, you were.” Mu Sheng frowned with her eyes bright. “Why can’t I look at you?”

A powerless look swept across Li Hanchen’s eyes. “Fine. Go ahead.”

“Who cares about your face?” Mu Sheng turned her head and failed to control her temper.

Li Hanchen found her adorable and could not help smiling a little. “Enough. Let me carry you to the bed. Since your foot is hurt, just stay home and rest.”

Mu Sheng nodded and automatically reached her arms out to Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen gritted his teeth before he stepped forward and carried Mu Sheng onto the bed nearby.

He even thoughtfully came over with snacks for Mu Sheng before he put her favorite channel on the television.

“Thanks.” She was a little upset when Li Hanchen was mean to her, but her anger dissipated thanks to his thoughtful gestures.

Mu Sheng failed to realize how happy she felt.

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Li Hanchen before leaving the room.

After he left the room, he suddenly opened the door and took a step back.

Li An lunged through the door like a dog again. Thanks to his previous experience, he had the foresight of protecting his mouth with his hands this time.

Despite surviving unscathed, Li An felt Li Hanchen’s death stares were powerful enough to kill.

He laughed sheepishly as he stood up. “Erm. I am going to school. See you later.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Li An took his backpack and disappeared through the door swiftly.

Li Hanchen turned to glance at Mu Sheng as she happily ate her snacks.

“I am going to work.”

“Sure.”

After Li Hanchen left the room, Mu Sheng watched some television drama before checking the news on her phone.

She surprisingly saw herself on the news again.

Ever since Mu Sheng started to live telecast on Cat Live, the company’s market value kept soaring. Tiger Shark was now eating their dust and Cat Live was undoubtedly number one in the industry.

Tiger Shark had put in a lot of effort to surpass Cat Live, but Cat Live quickly recovered from the fall and went back to being number one. Tiger Shark naturally could not take it lying down.

Tiger Shark had recruited GL Gaming Team with the blessing of Li Group.

Han Yu was a critical member of the team, but he retired last minute before the international gaming competition. However, GL Gaming Team came in champion under the leadership of their new captain, Zhang Jin.

GL Gaming Team and its new captain were naturally the talks of the town in the industry.

Now that Tiger Shark suddenly announced Zhang Jin from GL Gaming Team was joining them, all eyes were on them.

Everyone could tell Tiger Shark had spent top dollar to recruit the champion gaming team to save them from their viewership crisis thanks to Mu Sheng.

GL Gaming Team’s coach was called Liu Jun. He had implied that Mu Sheng paid someone else to fight her battles.

Now that Liu Jun and the entire GL Gaming Team had joined Tiger Shark, everyone felt things were going to get exciting.

[Well done, Tiger Shark! How did you convince GL Gaming Team to join you? You really went all out to beat Cat Live!]

[According to the people in the industry, Tiger Shark spent $ 100,000,000 hiring the entire team. Just hiring Zhang Jin alone cost $30,000,000.]

[Wow. This looks exciting. What does this mean? Is this the faceoff between a professional team and an amateur gamer? I think God Mu is great, but I think GL Gaming Team is better. After all, they were the international champion.]

GL Gaming Team was a champion gaming team, so they quickly gained everyone’s attention. Before long, Tiger Shark’s viewership had hit a million and continued skyrocketing.

All the employees at Cat Live felt anxious.

“What should we do? All the viewers are probably going to watch GL Gaming Team tonight.”

“Sigh.” The operations manager pulled his thinning hair worriedly. “Let me ask Mu Sheng about it.”

Whatever it was, Mu Sheng was the most popular live telecaster on the platform.

“Yes?” Mu Sheng had just eaten a cherry and was enjoying its faint sweet taste when she received the call.

“Sheng! God Mu! Please save me!” The operations manager could not be bothered with his image. “How are we going to save the viewership tonight? Are you confident about making your viewers stay?”

Cat Live was working on getting itself publicly listed. If it suffered any decline in viewership, its prospects would undoubtedly get hindered.

Before Mu Sheng could reply, he added, “God Mu, if you can save me, I will be filial to you like you are my ancestor.”

Mu Sheng paused before she continued, “It’s no big deal.”

“Really?” The operations manager had absolute faith in Mu Sheng, so he trusted her wholly.

“Uh huh. Is that all?”

“That’s all. Call me if you need me.” The moment he finished his sentence, the operations manager happily hung up the phone.

Now that the operations manager had Mu Sheng’s assurance, he felt relieved and hummed happily.

The operations manager waved his hand at his anxious employees. “Don’t worry. Everything is under control.”

The employees sneered at him in their hearts. Was he not clearly the most anxious person in the room earlier?

Mu Sheng placed another cherry in her mouth and texted Li Hanchen: [Where are you?]

Li Hanchen quickly replied: [In the office. Why?]

[Nothing.]

After Li Hanchen replied to Mu Sheng’s text message while he was at Flourishing Age Group, he went quiet briefly before standing up to button his suit jacket.

“Mr. Li, are you going somewhere?” Qin Kai looked at him in surprise as he stood beside him with a document. Were they not halfway through their meeting?

“Uh huh. Email me the files,” said Li Hanchen before leaving the office.

Qin Kai shook his head helplessly from behind.

Auntie Lin had gone to the supermarket while Mu Sheng was lying in bed. Mu Sheng wanted to take her computer, so she pulled off the blanket and wanted to get to the computer desk by supporting the chairs.

The moment she placed her feet on the ground, someone opened the door. Li Hanchen stood at the door dressed in a suit.

“Aren’t you in the office?” Mu Sheng looked puzzled.

Li Hanchen looked annoyed when he saw Mu Sheng trying to get off the bed. “Didn’t I tell you to stay in bed?”

Mu Sheng went quiet. She felt Li Hanchen was being mean again.

Li Hanchen walked up immediately. “What do you want?”

Mu Sheng pointed at her computer. “I want to use the computer.”

Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng’s massive desktop before he turned to go to his room and retrieved his laptop for her.

“Thanks.” Mu Sheng took the laptop and started typing on its keyboard.

Li Hanchen did not plan on leaving. Instead, he sat on the couch reading his document.

Meanwhile, in a corner at a web cafe somewhere in this city.

A man was lying in his seat with a cap covering his face so that it was impossible to see whether he was asleep.

He was dressed in black sportswear. His hands were placed over the seat backrest and looked like exquisite works of art.

Despite the noise in the web cafe, the man was unaffected.

The man’s eyes moved when he suddenly heard a notification in his earphones. He pulled aside his cap and glanced at the computer screen from under his cap and raised his brow in surprise.

A friend request had popped up at the center of his screen from someone called Mu.

The man tapped on the messenger application and confirmed he had activated the function to bar friend requests.

How did Mu manage to end up sending the friend request? The man looked puzzled.

He reached his hand out and clicked on the mouse and accepted the friend request.

In a second, he received a text message.

[Do you want to go back to being the number one in the world?]

A look of ridicule appeared on Han Yu’s face since he felt the message was trying to be sarcastic.

Number one in the world? People probably hated him now.

Han Yu reached his hand out and quickly replied: [Who are you?]

The person replied right away.

Han Yu looked at Mu Sheng’s name on the dialog box quizzically.

Who on earth was that?

He typed the name on an internet browser.

He was surprised to find that he and Mu Sheng had been appearing on the news together a lot.

Han Yu clicked on several videos and looked astonished.

This live telecaster had pretty decent gaming skills.

He had no intention of gaming professionally, so he turned off the internet browser and answered: [I don’t care how you managed to send the friend request, but I have retired from gaming.]

Mu Sheng quickly replied: [See you at Cat Live at 9:00 pm, 686868.]

Han Yu glanced at the screen before turning off the dialog box and deleting Mu Sheng from his phone records.

Number one in the world? Han Yu scoffed. Money could get anywhere in the world. Was there any fairness to speak of in the gaming industry?

One of the reasons Han Yu left GL Gaming Team was because he did not want to do brand ambassadorship deals.

The second reason was that the coach asked him to deliberately make mistakes to help pave the way for Zhang Jin.

The gaming team needed new blood, so they wanted to groom Zhang Jin into the next gaming legend.

Han Yu naturally did not like the idea. The gaming team and its investors ended up ostracizing Han Yu and even refused to pay his bonuses.

Han Yu joined the gaming world for the sake of his dreams but ended up bending over backward for capitalists.

He looked at the ID appearing on the screen and clicked to delete the account.

The cool-down period for account deletions was ten hours. It was 12:00 pm now, so at 10:00 pm tonight, the account he had been using for over six years that contained all his dreams would disappear forever.

After deleting his account, Han Yu stood up and pressed his cap down. He then left the internet café.

He heard people talking about him after taking barely a few steps.

“I heard that Han Yu is back in town. I wonder which team is going to recruit him?”

“Now that he has turned his back against his team, would anyone dare to take him? I heard that he has to pay tens of millions worth of damages to GL Gaming Team. He probably can’t even afford to put food on the table now.”

“That’s terrible. After all, he is a gaming legend. How could he end up like this?”

“He deserves it. He could have stayed on as the team captain, but he chose to retire. Whatever it is, his gaming skills are not what they used to be. I think it is better to have new blood like Zhang Jin.”

Everyone kept gossiping without taking any notice of the man in black standing behind them as he froze for some time before leaving.

Mu Sheng already anticipated his refusal, so she did not appear particularly disappointed.

She turned off the laptop and leaned against her headboard.

Li Hanchen was sitting on the couch dressed in a suit nearby. Even though he was indoors, he did not undo his buttons. He simply sat with his back straight and gave off a mature and restrained sexy aura.

Mu Sheng did not know what it meant to have a restrained sexy aura.

She simply felt Li Hanchen was very handsome.

Although everyone kept saying Qiao Siyu was the hottest guy in the industry, Mu Sheng felt Li Hanchen would surpass Qiao Siyu if he joined the entertainment industry.

Li Hanchen had already noticed Mu Sheng looking at him for some time.

Initially, Li Hanchen wanted to pretend not to notice it. However, Li Hanchen lost all mood to work with Mu Sheng staring at him. He was flipping through the documents at an increasingly slow speed until he eventually lost all focus.

Li Hanchen raised his head. “Yes?”

Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen pensively. “Have you ever considered joining the entertainment industry?”

Li Hanchen clearly did not understand why Mu Sheng was thinking about this. “What do you mean?”

“People say Qiao Siyu is the hottest male artist in the industry.”

The moment Mu Sheng said this, Li Hanchen almost crushed his documents as his face turned dark.

Mu Sheng failed to notice the change in Li Hanchen’s mood and continued, “But I think you are far better looking.”

The chill in Li Hanchen’s eyes swiftly melted away as his lips curved upwards. “Are you saying that I am handsome?”

Mu Sheng nodded seriously. “Of course.”

This was the truth. Even though Mu Sheng had lived two lifetimes and had seen her fair share of people, Li Hanchen was still the most gorgeous man she had ever seen.

Li Hanchen’s eyes turned smiley. “I can’t compare to you.”

Mu Sheng went quiet briefly before she blushed. “I look average.”

In reality, Li Hanchen was the first person to commend her for her good looks in her life.

In her past life, her colleagues were all professional researchers. Whenever they sat down together, they simply talked about the latest technology. No one cared about appearances.

Mu Sheng only ever got praised for her good looks after she was reborn in this era.

Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng’s face deeply and smiled even harder. “You are the most good-looking person I have ever seen.”

Mu Sheng felt her face turning warm. She flicked her blanket. “Can you help me lower the air conditioning? I feel a little warm.”

Li Hanchen smiled. “Sure.”

Mu Sheng was not absolutely sure, but she had a feeling Li Hanchen was in a particularly good mood today.

Li Hanchen did everything Mu Sheng asked throughout the afternoon.

Also, Li Hanchen was noticeably a lot less harsh with Mu Sheng.

However, Li Hanchen’s high spirits only lasted till the afternoon. By the time it was evening, his mood became absolutely lousy.
