Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

Chapter 196 - Carry Her



Chapter 196: Carry Her

Mu Sheng looked puzzled, but she walked towards Li Hanchen.

Mu Sheng preferred simple styles. Her black gown had an excellent cut. The waist was cinched and had gold embroidery on it. It accentuated her fairness and made her look mysterious and elegant.

“What?” Mu Sheng stood in front of Li Hanchen and raised her head slightly.

Li Hanchen lowered his head towards Mu Sheng and came close to her.

Mu Sheng was startled by the sudden movement and went stunned.

Li Hanchen’s face appeared right in front of her. Mu Sheng could not help swallowing saliva nervously. “You…”

Li Hanchen glanced at her face deeply before slowly glancing behind her shoulder.

Even though Li Hanchen looked at her completely innocently, Mu Sheng could not help feeling nervous. She instinctively wanted to move, but Li Hanchen said, “Don’t move.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng stood obediently.

Li Hanchen stepped forward and moved sideways slightly and placed his hands on Mu Sheng’s back. The sound of her zipper getting done could be heard from behind as he pulled her half-done zipper up.

Li Hanchen took two steps back and looked at Mu Sheng.

“Does it look good?” Mu Sheng was asking about the dress.

“Uh huh.” Moments later, Li Hanchen nodded as he looked at her deeply. “It’s beautiful.”

He naturally was not talking about the design.

The waist-hugging black dress accentuated Mu Sheng’s fair complexion and slender waist.

Although Mu Sheng did not care about what she wore, she was a woman, so she naturally liked beautiful things. She felt happy when she saw how beautiful the dress turned out.

Mu Sheng looked inside the mirror as Li Hanchen kept looking at her from nearby.

Mu Sheng was busy studying the dress details when she suddenly noticed him looking at her. Her ears suddenly felt warm, and they blushed red like rubies even though she was not wearing any earrings.

Li Hanchen contemplated before he smiled. “Why are your ears so red?”

The moment Li Hanchen smiled at her, Mu Sheng’s ears blushed even harder. She turned and said, “Stop looking at me.”

“Sure.” Li Hanchen smiled slightly as he obediently turned around and stopped looking at Mu Sheng.

Although he was no longer looking at Mu Sheng, she could still sense his presence in the changing room, so she felt uncomfortable.

Li Hanchen detected Mu Sheng’s uneasiness, so he took two steps forward. “I have work to do, so I will leave you to it.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng could not wait for him to leave.

Just as Li Hanchen was about to leave, he walked up to Mu Sheng and startled her. He smiled as he lowered his head and removed a small scrap of fabric off her head. “There’s some scrap on your head.”

Li Hanchen’s scent made Mu Sheng flustered once more.

Before Mu Sheng could say a word, Li Hanchen turned and walked off with the scrap of fabric.

Mu Sheng stood standing in front of the mirror blushing.

Mu Sheng looked inside the mirror and saw herself blushing and quickly examined her pulse.

Her heart was palpitating. Was she reacting this way because she did not exercise enough recently?

By the time Mu Sheng left the room, she had already changed into her usual loungewear. Li Hanchen was surprisingly still around. He was standing in the corridor and was in deep thought.

Mu Sheng wanted to greet him, but she inexplicably felt uneasy and shrank her hand back before she quietly snuck into her room.

Li Hanchen stood in the corridor for a long time. He was feeling warm after seeing Mu Sheng in the dress. He slowly headed to his room before he stopped at Li An’s room halfway.

He knocked on the door. Noise came from the room before it subsided, and Li An’s voice came from inside the room. “Yes? I am sleeping!”

“Open the door.” Li Hanchen sounded firm.

Before long, the door opened. Li An stood behind the door dressed in pajamas as he trembled. A flustered look swept across his eyes. “Big Bro, what are you doing here?”

Li Hanchen walked into his room and glanced at the computer on the desk.

Li An hurriedly raised both his hands. “Big Bro, I wasn’t playing video games! I was really sleeping.”

Li Hanchen stepped forward and reached his hand behind the computer. The heat radiating from the computer was clear evidence that Li An was gaming away earlier.

Li An went quiet. Two drops of tears trickled down his face in his heart. He was dead meat.

Li Hanchen surprisingly did not scold Li An. Instead, he waved Li An over.

Li An came towards Li Hanchen cautiously and looked terrified. He was worried Li Hanchen would punch him. “Let me explain.”

Li Hanchen reached his hand out and patted Li An’s back. “I won’t scold you.”

“Really?” Li An’s eyes lit up hopefully. “You’re the best.”

Li Hanchen pressed Li An by the shoulder and made him sit on the chair before he sat beside him.

Li An was puzzled. What did his older brother want?

Li Hanchen reached his hand out and pulled some Math test papers over. He flipped it open and placed it in front of Li An. “Let’s start. I can teach you if you need help.”

Li An opened his eyes wide in shock. “Big Bro, it’s already 10:00 pm.”

“Uh huh. Perfect. You can revise until 12:00 am then.” Li Hanchen nodded.

Li An was at a loss. He howled miserably in his heart. Was he his biological older brother? Why didn’t he go to bed? Why was he making him do Math revision in the middle of the night?

Li An only dared to complain inside and did not dare to say it out loud. Li An could only sadly take out his pen as he started working on the test paper as Li Hanchen looked at him.

Li An did not know how to solve a lot of questions. He thought Li Hanchen was bound to scold him for them.

However, Li Hanchen patiently taught him how to do them just like he promised.

After listening to Li Hanchen’s explanation, Li An felt as though he had gained new insight into Math even though it used to appear unintelligible to him.

For the first time, Li An finished an entire Math test. He looked at his answer sheet and felt absolutely proud of himself and looked at Li Hanchen with admiration.

“Big Bro, why do you know how to do it?” The moment he finished his sentence, Li An suddenly remembered Li Hanchen had already studied them before. “Big Bro, was your Math always good? How can I get 100 marks for it?”

Li An did not have high standards. Since the test was 150 marks in total, he was happy to score 100.

Li Hanchen stood up to leave and simply said, “Just skip the last 50 marks worth of questions.”

Li Hanchen went back to his room, turned off the light, and went to bed.

He glanced at the time and wanted to cry. What was going on with his older brother? Why did he torture him by making him do Math for two hours? Why did he even attack his IQ?

Before Li An could wrap his mind around it, he dozed off since he felt exhausted.

After doing Math with Li An for two hours, the fire in Li Hanchen that Mu Sheng had sparked finally dissipated.

Li Hanchen went back to his room, turned off the light, and went to bed.

——

Although it was already past midnight at the Li residence, Li Ming had trouble sleeping.

He sat up in bed and looked at all the missed calls and went into a dilemma.

He had already discussed the matter with Mu Xiao. He would attend Zhang Man’s birthday banquet and settle their engagement.

For some reason, all he could think of was Mu Sheng’s cool profile as he sat at the dining table and chatted with Mu Xiao. He felt deeply annoyed by it.

After Mu Xiao hinted at the subject for the fifth time, Li Ming could no longer bear it and left the Mu residence altogether without confirming the engagement.

Even till now, he was unable to figure out what he wanted.

On the one hand, he hated Mu Sheng for choosing to stay with a useless man like Li Hanchen and refusing to be with him. On the other hand, he could not resist taking notice of Mu Sheng.

“Sob sob…” The moment the phone got through, Mu Xiao’s crying came through the phone. “Ming, don’t you love me anymore?”

Li Ming went quiet. For the first time, he felt as though Mu Xiao’s voice gave him goosebumps. “Yes?”

Mu Xiao had called so that Li Ming would comfort her. However, she detected something amiss with his tone. “Ming, I…”

“I am in the middle of a meeting. Let’s talk some other time. Be good and rest early. Good night,” said Li Ming swiftly before ending the call and turning off his phone altogether.

Mu Xiao’s face contorted when she heard the dial tone on the phone.

Something was definitely wrong with Li Ming. They agreed to discuss the engagement, but he kept avoiding the subject. Now he even patronized her when she called.

Mu Xiao clenched her fists tightly as she thought about the way Li Ming looked at Mu Sheng.

She could not let Mu Sheng steal Li Ming from her!

——

The next morning at 6:00 am, someone knocked on Li Hanchen’s door.

Li Hanchen was accustomed to being on high alert. He opened his eyes and automatically reached for the gun under his pillow. “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Mu Sheng’s voice came through the door.

Li Hanchen relaxed and pulled his hand from under his pillow before he pulled off the blanket and answered the door.

“Are…” Just as Mu Sheng was about to speak, she saw the way Li Hanchen looked and swallowed her words. Her ears blushed slightly as she said, “Couldn’t you at least put on a coat?”

Li Hanchen answered the door dressed only in his sleeping robe. Since he was in a hurry, his collar was a little loose and she could see his chest a little.

Li Hanchen lowered his head and straightened out his sleeping robe. “I was in a hurry to answer the door.”

He did not want to keep Mu Sheng waiting and forgot about his sleeping robe.

“Since you are already up, why don’t you come jogging with me?” Mu Sheng detected something wrong with her heart recently and felt it was probably due to a lack of exercise.

“Sure.” Li Hanchen nodded. “Let me change.”

“Uh huh,” said Mu Sheng before she headed downstairs.

Li Hanchen got changed and headed downstairs and bumped into Li An who was getting ready for school.

“Big Bro, where are you going?” Li An looked curious.

Li Hanchen turned to glance at Li An, and he instantly shut up. “My bad. I should not have asked.”

Humph!

Li Hanchen walked out into the backyard to see Mu Sheng had already started running.

Even though the new villa did not look big, it came equipped with everything and even had a small running track.

Li Hanchen walked up beside Mu Sheng. “Why did you suddenly start doing morning runs?”

“I don’t feel good recently.”

“Why?” Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng worriedly.

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry. I am a doctor, so everything will be fine.” Mu Sheng waved her hands as she jogged.

Li Hanchen stopped asking and simply continued jogging with her.

Sadly, Mu Sheng forgot one thing.

In her past life, Mu Sheng was accustomed to a high level of workouts.

However, the original owner of the body did not like to exercise and also led a pampered childhood, so she grew up with a weak constitution.

After doing her usual level of exercise and running around the track a few times, Mu Sheng started to feel giddy.

Since no one ever used the running track, the workers in charge of maintenance often slacked off and failed to clear the small stones on the track.

Mu Sheng accidentally stepped on a stone and promptly fell to the side. Li Hanchen hurriedly went over to help her up.

“Are you okay?”

Mu Sheng moved her leg. She inhaled deeply when she sensed pain surging through her leg. “I sprained it.”

Mu Sheng felt she genuinely had to boost her weak constitution.

She recently started having heart problems and now there was something wrong with her leg.

Just as Mu Sheng was thinking about how to improve her constitution, Li Hanchen suddenly carried her.

Since Mu Sheng suddenly got lifted into the air, she instinctively held Li Hanchen’s shoulders. They were simply too close, so she felt uneasy and struggled to get off.

“Don’t move,” said Li Hanchen deeply as he glanced at Mu Sheng threateningly.

Mu Sheng stopped moving and let Li Hanchen carry her into the villa.

Li An sat by the dining table and ate porridge and buns.

He suddenly raised his head and saw Li Hanchen carrying Mu Sheng in.

Li An was so shocked that he forgot about chewing the food in his mouth. He failed to detect it when his half-eaten bun fell into his bowl of porridge.

What on earth happened outside? Why did Mu Sheng get carried into the house?

Li An smiled deviously. He did not expect his older brother to be so romantic as to carry his sister-in-law like a princess.

Mu Sheng felt particularly awkward lying in Li Hanchen’s arms.

Since she was very close to Li Hanchen, she was surrounded by his scent and could even sense his heartbeat distinctly.

Mu Sheng felt her heart beating just as quickly.

Mu Sheng felt uneasy, so she instinctively shrank her neck.

Li Hanchen sensed her hair rubbing against his chest, making him desperately tempted. His hands trembled so hard that he nearly dropped Mu Sheng.

“Stop moving already.”

Li Hanchen was speaking in a suppressed tone, but Mu Sheng felt he sounded mean.

“Do you have to be so harsh?” Mu Sheng spoke her mind.

Mu Sheng raised her head and looked a little angry.

She seemed particularly cute when her cool eyes came alive with annoyance.

Li Hanchen went quiet as the veins on his forehead throbbed. “I can be harsher.”

Mu Sheng angrily struggled to get off.
