Chapter 210: Some Action in the Car

Mu Sheng’s long hair was casually done up in a bun at the top of her head with her swan-like neck showing and her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows. She gave off an unrestrained and aloof aura.

The photographer’s angle was perfect. He captured Mu Sheng with some light shining from behind her. She looked like a queen walking out from the darkness.

Her beauty was simply breathtaking.

[Oh god! This lady is gorgeous. Why didn’t I know anything about her? What’s her name? I have already come up with a name for our child!]

[Heavens! Just look at this lighting and her features. She looks like a gaming queen straight out of a novel!]

[Erm… Is that Mu Sheng? To be honest, she genuinely looks even prettier than she used to.]

Just as Jiang Tian expected, this society was all about good looks. This photo alone was able to make Mu Sheng the talk of the town.

Although Jiang Tian was not a professional talent agent, he had sound aesthetic judgment and paid a lot of attention to the other people in the entertainment industry.

All these years, only female artists with sweet images like Ruan Yingying became a hit.

There was no one else like Mu Sheng on the market.

After all, it was hard to survive in the industry with a cold aura. Without Mu Sheng’s stunning face, people who acted cool tended to end up looking stiff.

Everyone kept asking the talent agency to release more photos. Also, a lot of people asked where the pictures were taken.

A gamer finally noticed the World Gaming Masters’ logo behind Mu Sheng.

[Why does that logo behind Mu Sheng resemble the logo for the World Gaming Masters?]

After people saw this comment, they checked out the official website and watched the live telecast of the World Gaming Masters.

Heavens! It was really Mu Sheng!

It was midday, so there was a 30-minute break for the World Gaming Masters. Mu Sheng promptly disappeared from the live telecast.

A lot of people had come to see her live telecast after seeing her pictures, but they were greeted by a black screen. They just wanted to check out the gorgeous woman. Did she have to do this to them?

Meanwhile, at the competition venue.

Mu Sheng and her team went downstairs together and encountered GL Gaming Team.

The moment they saw Han Yu, some of them felt excited while others looked worried.

After gaming together for so long, they were true comrades, so they naturally felt excited when they saw Han Yu. However, Han Yu was a competitor now, so they could only quietly lower their heads.

“I have underestimated you.” Zhang Jin glared at Mu Sheng angrily.

Just half a month ago, Zhang Jin was bathing in the glory of becoming champion. Thanks to Mu Sheng, he was utterly embarrassed during the live telecast and now he had lost the World Gaming Masters to her.

Mu Sheng glanced at Zhang Jin. “Get out of my way.”

Veins throbbed on Zhang Jin’s forehead as he said, “Don’t get cocky too soon. All the other top five teams are world-class teams. So what if you made it into the top five? It is just a matter of time before you get finished off.”

Mu Sheng was hungry, so she ignored him and continued walking.

Zhang Jin wanted to stop Mu Sheng. The moment Mu Sheng glanced at him coldly, he was so startled that he froze and could only watch angrily as she left.

Zhang Jin’s fury blazed as he watched her leave from behind.

If anyone else became champion, he had no problems accepting it. He simply could not take it if Mu Sheng won!

Zhang Jin stood where he was as he pondered. He seemed to be in a dilemma and at the same time envious, but he quickly made up his mind.

He glanced around furtively before walking towards the Korean gaming team.

30 minutes passed before long.

Mu Sheng took a short break after lunch and prepared for the next half of the day.

Shortly after leaving the lounge, Mu Sheng’s phone rang. She lowered her head and saw it was Li Hanchen calling.

“Hello?”

“Go to the small garden by the side.” Li Hanchen’s deep husky voice came from over the phone.

“Huh?” Mu Sheng turned to look around and found the garden he was talking about nearby.

Mu Sheng walked a few steps and saw Li Hanchen standing under a sycamore.

The sun was good and there was a light breeze in the air. The warm light seemed to soften Li Hanchen’s cool aura.

Mu Sheng did not use to be a shallow person. However, she seemed to have developed a taste for good looks of late, so she was in a good mood when she saw Li Hanchen’s handsome face.

“Come over.” Li Hanchen waved Mu Sheng over.

“What are you doing in Korea?” asked Mu Sheng curiously. “Can you afford the air tickets?”

A sense of powerlessness swept across Li Hanchen’s eyes. “I am not that poor.”

“What are you doing here then? Do you need something?”

Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng. “I am here for a meeting, so I decided to swing by and see you.”

“What meeting?” Even though Mu Sheng was not the chatty sort, she always had a lot of questions for Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen did not answer Mu Sheng straightforwardly. He took out a list from his pocket. “Good luck. If you win, I will treat you to a sumptuous feast for dinner.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng nodded. Some light scattered through the leaves and landed on Mu Sheng’s face.

Li Hanchen narrowed his dark eyes. “Go on.”

“Uh huh.” Mu Sheng turned towards the competition venue. After taking two steps, she halted and turned her head. “Are you going to stay and watch me game?”

Li Hanchen’s eyes seemed to light up, but he asked Mu Sheng rhetorically, “Do you want me to?”

Mu Sheng contemplated before she nodded. “Yes.”

Li Hanchen smiled. “In that case, I will watch it.”

Li Hanchen seemed cool as usual, but Mu Sheng inexplicably felt he seemed different today.

Why was he so gentle today?

For some reason, Mu Sheng’s ears flushed when she caught on to this.

She pinched her warm ears as she quickly headed back to the location. “Korea seems to be a lot warmer than home.”

It was so warm that her ears were red from the sun.

A portion of the viewers was here for the World Gaming Masters while some of them were here to see Mu Sheng’s beautiful face.

[Can someone tell me why a woman is appearing on the World Gaming Masters? Who is she? Is she a replacement player?]

[What have you been watching in the morning? Don’t look down on her just because she is a woman. She is capable of magic.]

[Nonsense. Do you have to get mysterious? What magic? I would like to see what she’s capable of.]

Meanwhile, at the competition venue, all the teams were seated.

All eyes were on the finals and it was about to start.

Although the Korean, French, American, and English teams did not say it out loud, they had a common understanding that they had to take out the weakest team among them first.

In everyone’s opinion, MS Gaming Squad was the weakest team among them, excluding Han Yu.

The moment the game commenced, all the teams headed towards Mu Sheng.

Han Yu stood beside Mu Sheng and quickly saw through their opponents’ plans.

“There are too many people out there. Why don’t we hide for now?” Han Yu wanted to play it safe.

After all, their enemies were highly seasoned professional gamers. It was hard to fight even a single team. Now all of them were coming towards them.

Instead, Mu Sheng shook her head. “Running won’t solve the problem.”

Han Yu turned his head. “Do you mean?”

“Even though we are in grave danger, it is also a golden opportunity for us. If we don’t do it now, it won’t be easy to gather all our enemies in one location.” Mu Sheng felt they could reap high rewards with high risk.

After killing everyone in one fell swoop, she could get her reward from Li Hanchen right away.

“Fine. Let’s do it.” Han Yu smiled at Mu Sheng trustingly. “It is no loss if we lose, but we will make history if we win.”

The four other teams were coming for them in all directions.

As they watched their enemies close in on them, Mu Sheng said something to Han Yu, and he nodded before the four of them took action.

Four enemy teams encircled Mu Sheng and her team.

MS Gaming Squad was in a car and driving for the airdrop location.

They were located in grassland that was hard to defend and made them easy targets. It was hard for them to escape if even one team was against them, let alone four.

The viewers felt MS Gaming Squad was dead meat this time.

[They deserve it. Mu Sheng was too greedy and insisted on getting the gear. Would they end up like this if they left when they could?]

[I don’t know what to say. It was a mistake to game with a woman. I agree Mu Sheng has excellent skills, but she has lousy gaming instincts. They shouldn’t have come here at all.]

[They are done for. I thought MS Gaming Squad would win. From the looks of it, they are dead ducks.]

The four enemy teams also knew this was the perfect opportunity to attack.

Someone had already gotten off the car and trained their gun on MS Gaming Squad.

An explosion could suddenly be heard from behind them.

Everyone felt there was a trap and hurriedly dodged to the side of the car.

The car exploded thunderously.

Three enemies inadvertently got blown to death by the cannons.

“Something’s wrong. Let’s bail.” The rest of the players felt something was wrong and wanted to leave.

However, it was too late.

Mu Sheng and Han Yu had unknowingly found a blind spot and walked around to come at them from behind.

Everyone finally realized that only Chen Xiao and Zhang Qing were in the car, but Mu Sheng and Han Yu were long gone.

The enemy teams responded swiftly by getting ready to fight.

Everyone went into sniper mode.

It was a battle of their shooting skills and maneuvers.

Bullet shells scattered on the ground as gunfire ripped through the air nonstop.

[Oh god. I have never seen such an exciting match in my life. This is incredible. Is this what it is like to watch legendary teams game?]

[I apologize. I take back what I said about Mu Sheng. I was the rookie.]

[Mu Sheng has such flawless maneuvers! I can’t believe how quickly that woman can react. It is simply mind-blowing. I could never game like her, not in this lifetime.]

A battle raged on screen in the game.

As the fight raged on, everyone took medication repeatedly to get their HP back up. Adrenaline coursed through them like they were doing extreme sports.

However, all things would eventually come to an end. After the firing stopped, there were dead bodies littered everywhere on the grassland.

Everything went completely quiet, and it felt as though there was no one out there. It felt as though everyone was killed in the gunfire.

Meanwhile, a white silhouette suddenly walked out from behind a rock nearby. She wore her hair in a ponytail and had an exquisite face. She stepped over the boxes and headed towards the center of the grassland.

Han Yu was almost dead after the melee, and he barely had any HP left.

Mu Sheng threw him a bottle of medicine and saved him.

A single seagull flew over the ocean with the rising sun in the backdrop.

Chen Xiao and Zhang Qing were dead. Han Yu and Mu Sheng collected the gear belonging to their dead comrades and triumphed.

The crowd roared thunderously when they saw MS Gaming Squad’s name appearing on the screen.

Gold confetti fluttered onto the stage.

MS Gaming Squad stood at center stage to accept their prize.

Han Yu found it inconceivable as he watched the audience cheering for them.

He had won countless international gaming championship titles, but it was his first time winning the World Gaming Masters.

There was nothing wrong with his gaming ability. It was mainly because of GL Gaming Team’s own shortcomings, problems with the coach’s strategies, or weaknesses in the collaboration between his old teammates.

After all, no one would have acted as audaciously as Mu Sheng did.

Any other professional team would have avoided that conflict.

No one would have confidently taken on four professional teams as they surrounded them.

Mu Sheng was the only person capable of doing that.

It was inconceivable, but she ended up succeeding.

Han Yu turned to smile at Mu Sheng as he thought about that. “Thanks.”

Mu Sheng glanced at him quizzically. “We won it together. Why are you thanking me?”

Han Yu smiled without saying a word and raised his brow. “Time to collect our prize.”

Mu Sheng turned her head. The organizer handed her the trophy and cash prize.

Mu Sheng raised her brow when she saw the cash prize.

It was hers.

She raised her brows slightly with a cool look on her face. The camera happened to have it all on camera. Everyone went into a commotion back home as they watched the live telecast. People kept screaming for Mu Sheng.

[Omigod! She was awesome! Just look at the way she sniped and killed everyone. My hubby has struck me in my heart!]

[Just look at the way she raises her brows. It is simply killing me. I have never seen such a cool female artist in my life. How could she be so hot?]

Mu Sheng was genuinely the highlight of the tournament. After the finals, a lot of reporters wanted to interview her.

They looked around, but Mu Sheng was nowhere to be seen.

Mu Sheng had already gotten into Li Hanchen’s car with the check.

Mu Sheng placed the trophy in the back seat. After gaming for so long, she felt hungry, so she automatically came close to Li Hanchen and reached her hand inside his pocket.

For once, she did not find any candy in his right pocket.

Mu Sheng did not think otherwise. Since Li Hanchen had already started the engine, she automatically reached her hand out to his left coat pocket in search of candy.

She was sitting in the front passenger seat, so it was hard for her to reach his left coat pocket. She kept reaching for it, but she was unable to get to it.

Li Hanchen had no intention of helping her, so Mu Sheng got up a little before trying again.

It seemed as though they were locked in an embrace. Li Hanchen could smell Mu Sheng’s faint scent as her soft hair rubbed against his chin and set his heart ablaze with desire.

Li Hanchen’s eyes turned dark. He closed his eyes before opening them again and suddenly pulling Mu Sheng into his arms.

Mu Sheng did not see it coming and opened her eyes slightly in shock. “What?” The warmth from Li Hanchen’s hands slowly went down to her waist. Mu Sheng felt a little uneasy.

Li Hanchen retrieved a piece of candy from his left coat pocket and placed it in Mu Sheng’s mouth. Veins throbbed on his forehead as he said, “Sit down. If you want candy, you could have said so. Did you have to take it yourself?”

Mu Sheng frowned. “You were driving earlier.”

Li Hanchen went quiet. He leaned into the seat slightly to keep a distance from Mu Sheng. “Shut up.”

Mu Sheng went quiet. She glanced at him before pushing away Li Hanchen’s hands and sitting properly on the front passenger seat.

She wanted to say that Li Hanchen was being unreasonable and throwing a temper again, but she decided to forgive him since the candy tasted great.?“Never mind. Since he is a patient, I won’t take it to heart.”

Li Hanchen opened the car window to let some cool air in to calm himself.

However, a security guard craned his neck and looked over when Li Hanchen opened the car window.

He was looking over suspiciously, and there was even a hint of disdain in his eyes. “What are you doing there in broad daylight? Do you want to make out in the car? If you want to make out, then do it at home. You are in public now.”

Young couples these days were too much. Couldn’t they have some restraint? Despite how good-looking they were, they had no restraint.

He had been observing their car for some time now. The car was parked by the roadside. They did not drive off right away after getting in and kept hugging each other inside.

If he did not come over to check, they might have actually done it!

Li Hanchen’s aura instantly turned harsh, and his face looked serious.

The security guard glanced at Li Hanchen’s clothes and was startled by Li Hanchen’s powerful aura.

He thought to himself. Since they did not do anything wrong, his mission was completed, so he decided not to take Li Hanchen’s rudeness to heart. Humph!

The security guard quietly left as Li Hanchen cast him deathly stares.

Li Hanchen took a deep breath of the cold air before closing the car window and starting the engine.

After driving for less than 200 meters, Mu Sheng suddenly asked, “What did he mean by making out in the car?”

Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen curiously. It was the first time she heard about this.

In her past life, Mu Sheng had heard about making a lot of things, but she had never heard of making out in the car.

Li Hanchen suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He turned around and looked at Mu Sheng with veins throbbing on his forehead. “Stop talking.”

Mu Sheng went quiet. She was unhappy that he was being fierce again. She turned her head and said, “If you don’t want to tell me, just say so. Did you have to be so fierce?”

Li Hanchen did not know what to do about Mu Sheng. He swallowed some saliva and calmed himself before he said, “You can’t say it to anyone else. Do you understand?”

“Why not? Is it something bad?”

Li Hanchen opened the car windows slightly and let some cold air in and composed himself. “Uh huh. Just don’t say it.”

“In that case…” Mu Sheng still felt curious. “Can I say it in front of you?”

Li Hanchen went quiet. He suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and his eyes turned dark as though he was suppressing something. He finally said, “You can only talk about it in front of me.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng felt Li Hanchen was in a bad mood, so she did not continue asking about it. “Didn’t you say you were taking me out for a feast? Where are we going?”

“Stop talking.” Even though Mu Sheng had a cool tone in her voice, she made Li Hanchen’s blood surge wildly the moment she spoke.

Mu Sheng went speechless. She glanced at Li Hanchen huffily. Well done. How could he be so rude to his doctor?

She decided to ignore him for the rest of the night.

Li Hanchen wanted to reach his hand out and comfort her when he noticed her sulking. However, he thought about the way Mu Sheng obliterated his powerful sense of self-control and changed his mind.

He started the engine and finally calmed down in the cold wind with the car window open.

The car kept going until they finally reached the seaside.

It was already evening when they arrived.

The soft twilight glow made the clouds turn purplish-pink as the waves kept surging towards the shoreline, leaving white frothy sea foam.

Mu Sheng had visited the seaside many times. Back in the day, she only had her mind on building the bridge, underground tunnel, and statistics.

The sea was just a background to her.

However, the sea felt completely different to Mu Sheng now that she was here as a tourist.

She noticed the beautiful sunset, the beauty of the vast ocean, and she could smell the salty sea air.

Mu Sheng’s eyes lit up. She headed towards the beach and left footprints in the damp soft sand.

Li Hanchen followed behind Mu Sheng and walked in her footsteps.

The small footprints on the soft sand on the beach were all covered up with a row of large footprints.

“Do you like it?” Li Hanchen saw the languid look in Mu Sheng’s eyes and smiled.

Mu Sheng instinctively turned to answer Li Hanchen, but the moment she recalled his lousy attitude earlier, she turned her head back.

It seemed as though she expected an apology if he wanted to talk to her.

Mu Sheng probably did not notice how adorable she looked right now.

Li Hanchen smiled before taking two steps forward. “Are you hungry?”

This time, Mu Sheng nodded.

“Then let’s go eat,” said Li Hanchen as he pointed at a building resembling a shell. “Over there.”

Mu Sheng raised her head and saw the building constructed in the shape of shells and coral. It felt as though it was the Palace of the Dragon King sitting on the beach.

Mu Sheng found it intriguing as she walked towards it.

Since the beach was wet and Mu Sheng’s shoes were low, her shoes were already filled with sand by the time they arrived at the restaurant, and it was painful to walk in them.

Mu Sheng initially thought the restaurant would be crowded but discovered it was just the staff and them.

The staff was already on standby waiting for them. The moment the staff saw Mu Sheng enter, they led her to the table at the center of the room.

The entire restaurant was filled with fresh flowers, and it felt as though she was in a sea of flowers as soft piano music flowed in the air.

“The dishes will be sent over in a minute.” The waiter smiled and bowed to Mu Sheng courteously before leaving.

Mu Sheng looked around but did not see Li Hanchen anywhere.

She felt puzzled. Was he not just behind her earlier? Where did he go?

Footsteps suddenly came from behind.
