Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

“You, of course.” Mu Sheng ate some fried rice. “Since you have been kind to me, I consider you my friend.”

Li Hanchen frowned slightly. “Li An is my only brother.”

“… Fine.” Mu Sheng was only talking about it randomly. Since Li Hanchen reacted so strongly about it, she decided not to go on.

The dining room fell into silence and only the sound of Mu Sheng quietly eating could be heard.

Li Hanchen had not moved his chopsticks ever since Mu Sheng called him her brother.

After Mu Sheng finished off the fried rice, she raised her head to look at Li Hanchen. She noticed that the food in his bowl was barely touched. “Didn’t you say you were hungry?”

Li Hanchen’s eyes landed on Mu Sheng briefly before he averted his eyes while looking slightly angry.

Li Hanchen stood up to leave the dining room as Mu Sheng watched from behind.

Mu Sheng did not socialize much in her past life, so she was insensitive towards other people’s emotions. However, she instinctively realized Li Hanchen was angry this time.

He was perfectly fine when they came downstairs. Mu Sheng figured since she was the only person eating with Li Hanchen, she must have done something wrong.

Li Hanchen must be angry with her.

Mu Sheng automatically frowned. Just as she was about to head upstairs, she raised her head and saw snow outside the window. It was floating down like cotton candy before hitting the window.

For some reason, it reminded her of the time when Li Hanchen stood in the snow under the streetlight and told her it was time to go home.

In Mu Sheng’s limited understanding of human relations, she had to coax him if he was angry.

In her past life, she still behaved like a child up to when she was five years old. Her mother always coaxed her with the things she liked when she threw a temper.

Mu Sheng contemplated as she looked at the snow outside.

Li Hanchen went back to his room and somewhat regretted it the moment he closed the door.

He was always good at controlling his emotions. All these years, barely anything was able to make him emotional.

However, he could not help feeling infuriated by what Mu Sheng said.

Li Hanchen thought about Mu Sheng in the dining room all alone and frowned before he turned to go back.

Mu Sheng was unexpectedly standing outside the door when he opened it.

“I…” Just as Li Hanchen was about to speak, he was caught by surprise.

She handed him a stalk of blooming white plum blossoms.

It was clear that the white plum blossom was just brought in from outside since there was some snow on it making its white petals even brighter.

“This is for you. Don’t be mad.” Mu Sheng placed the flowers in Li Hanchen’s hand.

Li Hanchen could sense how cold Mu Sheng’s hands were when they grazed his hand. He finally noticed some snow on Mu Sheng’s jacket.

She must have just gone out to pick these white plum blossoms.

Li Hanchen swallowed. He reached his hand out to take the white plum blossoms. Just as he was about to speak, Mu Sheng yawned. “I’m going to bed.” Then she turned to leave.

Li Hanchen stood at the door for some time before he headed back into his room with the white plum blossoms in his hand.

A faint scent wafted in his room that night.

The next day, he attended his usual teleconference.

During a meeting, everything went normally. After the meeting came to an end, Shen Lin called Qin Kai in shock.

“Did you see that?” Shen Lin’s voice was filled with disbelief. “Did you see those white plum blossoms behind him?”

Qin Kai put his phone down beside him and put it in hands-free mode before he started working on a proposal. “Does it matter? We shouldn’t poke our noses into his business.”

“I mean, don’t you know how much he hates flowers? He hates all flowers! The moment he sees them, it makes him want to kill someone!” Shen Lin hated gossiping with Qin Kai. Qin Kai was always boring and had no reaction whatsoever.

Qin Kai’s pen froze in mid-air when he heard what Shen Lin said.

Li Hanchen genuinely disliked flowers and even hated anything to do with them. It was common knowledge in the Intercontinental Alliance. Only very few people knew the reason for this.

After Li Hanchen was abandoned by his family, his abductors ended up making only half the ransom, so they could not help feeling angry and kept trying to torture Li Hanchen.

They once covered his entire body with pollen before throwing him inside some poisonous beehives. Also, they forced him to climb down cliffs to pick plum blossoms because his abductor’s woman wanted to see them.

Ever since then, flowers became a no-no for Li Hanchen.

However, he broke his rules today.

“Mr. Li can’t get over it and wants revenge.” To Shen Lin’s surprise, Qin Kai voluntarily brought up the subject. “Haven’t we always wished that he would let it go one day?”

“That’s the problem.” Shen Lin spoke mysteriously. “Why don’t you tell me who that woman is? I really want to know what kind of woman managed to make our boss change his mind.”

“You will have to ask him yourself.” Qin Kai held his pen as he continued writing his proposal.

Shen Lin went quiet before he rolled his eyes. “You are such a bore. Why can’t I get anything out of you? I don’t know why I bothered air shipping all those beautiful women to you.”

Shen Lin was dying to ask Li Hanchen. The problem was, he did not dare to. He certainly did not have a death wish. There were over 200 countries in the world and he had yet to see the beauties in over 100 countries, so he was not ready to die.

Qin Kai remained composed. “If you dare to send anyone over, I hope you are prepared to accept the consequences.”

“Pfftt… I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Shen Lin hated himself for calling Qin Kai. Even though he knew Qin Kai would not tell him anything, he could not resist asking for gossip. Instead of obtaining any intel from him, Qin Kai ended up pissing him off.

In the villa, Mu Sheng received an email from Talent Scout Entertainment the moment she woke up.

Mu Sheng had requested a public apology and compensation yesterday, but Talent Scout Entertainment refused to do it as expected. Also, they asked Mu Sheng to help redeem their image.

Mu Sheng tapped on her phone gently and sent the call history between Yang Tao and the upper management over. It was proof that the management knew about Yang Tao’s actions all along.

The upper management in the talent agency got anxious right away. Why would Mu Sheng have this in her possession?

The upper management swiftly decided to apologize! They would apologize this instant and get out of Mu Sheng’s hair.

This time, the talent agency was exceptionally efficient. In just ten minutes, an apology was posted on their official social media account.

@Talent Scout Entertainment: [Mu Sheng is one of our best celebrities and has contributed to our development greatly. We are deeply sorry about the oppression she has suffered under our talent agent. We will compensate Mu Sheng in full to make up for it. We have done our utmost to get Mu Sheng to stay with us, but she has decided to leave. We wish Mu Sheng all the best with her future endeavors.]

The moment Talent Scout Entertainment posted the announcement, people could not wrap their minds around it. Why would Talent Scout Entertainment be so nice about this?
