Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted Chapter 108 - Getting Into a Fight

Chapter 108: Getting Into a Fight

Mu Sheng had to continue filming in the afternoon, so she did not change out of her costume. She came out dressed in her strapless evening dress with a coat draped over her shoulder. However, her flawless collar bone, slender calves, and fine waist were still visible.
“Yes? Why did you come?” Mu Sheng got into the car. Since the heater was on, Mu Sheng stopped feeling cold from the walk over.
After Mu Sheng got into the car, Li Hanchen veered his eyes and stopped staring at her.
He grabbed a lunch box from behind. “Auntie Lin told me to bring you some lunch.”
Mu Sheng opened the lunch box to see mouthwatering shelled prawns, pork ribs dripping in sauce, fresh stir-fried cabbage, and fragrant refreshing corn soup.!!
The piping hot food in the box were all Mu Sheng’s favorites and instantly teased her appetite.
“Smells great.” Mu Sheng picked up a piece of pork rib and took a bite. The pork rib melted in her mouth along with the fragrant gravy as she narrowed her eyes in bliss eating it.
Li Hanchen could not resist looking at Mu Sheng. She looked as relaxed as a lazy kitten. Her eyelashes were curly and the gold eyeshadow made her mesmerizing.
Just as Mu Sheng started to eat, Li Hanchen suddenly reached his right hand towards her shoulder.
She looked up and saw Li Hanchen pulling her coat together and doing the buttons up.
Mu Sheng was already accustomed to having Li Hanchen in close proximity. Despite her typical wariness to her surroundings, she did not react when he came close.
After Li Hanchen was done covering her up, he finally looked at Mu Sheng and asked casually, “Aren’t you acting as a student? What are you doing wearing an evening dress?”
“It’s for the plot.”
“What’s the plot?”
“The male lead….” Since Li Hanchen asked, Mu Sheng told Li Hanchen about the storyline of what she was filming today as she ate.
Mu Sheng’s head was lowered, so she failed to notice the change in Li Hanchen’s mood.
He seemed particularly affected when he heard that Mu Sheng’s character was deeply in love with the male lead.
After lunch, Mu Sheng headed back to work. “I have to get back.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Li Hanchen calmly. His face was aloof as coldness kept radiating from him.
Even though Mu Sheng said she had to leave, she did not go.
Li Hanchen looked straight ahead coldly. “I don’t have candy.”
“Okay.” Now that Mu Sheng was accustomed to taking things from Li Hanchen, she could not help feeling disappointed when he said this. However, she said nothing and simply opened the car door and got off the car.
After Mu Sheng got off the car, Li Hanchen turned to watch as she walked off. He suddenly felt bad about ending the conversation on a bad note. Just as Li Hanchen was about to get off and talk to her, he saw a man dressed in a white shirt with his coat draped over him walking up to Mu Sheng.
The man spoke to Mu Sheng before they walked into the film set together.
Li Hanchen tightened his hands on the steering wheel slightly as a complicated emotion surged through him. He felt inexplicably annoyed when he saw them together.
Li Hanchen stepped on the gas and left the film location.
“Did someone just send you food?” Qiao Siyu was getting ready to go out for lunch when he bumped into Mu Sheng at the entrance.
He automatically stopped to greet Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng looked at him mildly as she said, “Uh huh.”
Qiao Siyu went quiet as he looked at Mu Sheng’s face. People wanted to make small talk with him all the time, and he often patronized them. However, it was the first time someone refused to chat with him when he started a conversation.
As Qiao Siyu thought about what to say, Mu Sheng had already gone far.
Qiao Siyu smiled sadly as he said, “Huh? Is this some kind of retribution?”
Was he finally getting a taste of rejection after he ignored so many people in his life?
To be honest, it felt awful.
Mu Sheng frowned slightly as she walked in quietly. She was unsure if she was annoyed for not getting any candy or because Li Hanchen ignored her.
Ruan Yingying almost pierced her chopsticks through her lunchbox when she saw Qiao Siyu voluntarily talking to Mu Sheng. “How could he talk to her? How could he think highly of Mu Sheng’s acting?”
Her talent agent pursed her lips and felt Mu Sheng’s acting was honestly brilliant. If Ruan Yingying had put in more effort with her acting, Qiao Siyu would probably say nice things about her too.
The talent agent griped in her heart as she consoled Ruan Yingying, “They were probably discussing work. You will be filming some parts with him in the afternoon, so you have to work hard and leave a good impression on him.”
“Humph.” Ruan Yingying threw her lunch box aside as she spoke. “You have to come up with some way to kick Mu Sheng off the drama. You can’t let her continue acting in it.”
Ruan Yingying had recommended Mu Sheng in the hope that she would embarrass herself. Mu Sheng’s acting ended up so remarkable that Mu Sheng now posed a major threat to her.
If Mu Sheng stole the limelight when the program was aired, it would be a total embarrassment for her since she was the female lead.
“My dear, even if you did not bring up the request, the talent agency would definitely do it.” The talent agent gave Ruan Yingying a bowl of rice as she said, “Have some lunch while I contact the company. I am sure the talent agency doesn’t want Mu Sheng in the entertainment industry either.”
What would people say if Mu Sheng became a hit after leaving Talent Scout Entertainment?
Ruan Yingying and Qiao Siyu were scheduled to film their parts from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, followed by Qiao Siyu and Mu Sheng’s parts between 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
However, Ruan Yingying made slow progress and NG-ed so many times that there was a delay in the schedule.
Mu Sheng leaned against the chair with her legs on the flowerpot as she sunbathed leisurely. She put her hat on and placed her hands in her coat pocket and wanted to take a nap when she suddenly pulled her hands out.
Mu Sheng pulled off her hat and lowered her eyes to look at her right palm, only to see lychee flavored candy in her right hand.
Mu Sheng pulled out her left hand to see a few pieces of soft-centered chocolate as well.
She clearly remembered that her pockets were empty during filming this morning.
She recalled Li Hanchen straightening her coat for her over lunch. He must have placed the candies in her pocket when he did.
Mu Sheng unwrapped a piece of candy and placed it in her mouth and the sweet scent spread across her tongue.
“Are you in a better mood?” asked Tang Tiantian casually when she came out and noticed Mu Sheng’s happy expression.
“Was I in a bad mood earlier?” Mu Sheng felt puzzled. She did not have much of a temper in her past life and words like this were completely foreign to her.
Tang Tiantian thought she had said the wrong thing, so she waved her hand and denied, “You were perfectly fine. I was just chatting randomly.”
Mu Sheng frowned slightly and leaned back into the seat.
At Flourishing Age Group, the management was nervously reporting on their work.
Something felt wrong. Something was definitely wrong. Had the central air conditioning malfunctioned? Why did it feel like it was going to freeze over in the room?
“Redo it.
“Redo it.
“How could you make such rookie mistakes?”
…….
In just two hours, Li Hanchen had already rejected seven proposals. The management looked at Qin Kai cautiously.
They were all eyeing Qin Kai and waiting for him to say something! If Qin Kai did not say something to help, they were unsure if they could walk out of the office alive when the meeting was over!
Qin Kai adjusted his glasses and shook his head slightly.
Mu Sheng was probably the only person capable of affecting their boss’ mood.
However, Qin Kai was an outsider, so he was not in the position to remind Li Hanchen about the effect she was having on him.
“M-Mr Li…” The person in charge of the investment department sweated as he updated Li Hanchen about work. Before he had the chance to start, a phone rang in the office.
Everyone looked at Li Hanchen in unison. Sure enough, he took out his phone.
Li Hanchen raised his brow slightly when he saw the caller ID on this screen. He waved at the management while holding the phone in his hand, and everyone quickly left the room.
Li Hanchen clicked answer. “Hello.”
“Hi, Li Hanchen.” Mu Sheng’s voice came from over the phone.
Li Hanchen’s expression inexplicably softened when he heard her suddenly calling his name. “Yes?”
“Thanks for the candies.” Mu Sheng was a reasonable person and always knew Li Hanchen was good to her.
“You’re welcome.” All the coldness around Li Hanchen melted the moment he heard Mu Sheng call his name, and his voice gradually softened.
Li Hanchen’s magnetic voice sounded even more mellow over the phone. Mu Sheng could not help tingling when she heard his voice. She recalled how cold he was over lunch and asked candidly, “What happened in the afternoon? Did something happen at work?”
Li Hanchen went quiet before he suddenly laughed gently, making her ears go red. “Some silly person made me angry.”
Mu Sheng was oblivious that he was talking about her. “Don’t get upset.”
Mu Sheng also wanted to say that he shouldn’t withhold candy from her because he was in a bad mood.
Although she did not say it out loud, Li Hanchen seemed to know what she was thinking. He laughed as he said, “No matter how angry I get, you will get your candy.”
