Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted Chapter 214 - Feed Him

Chapter 214: Feed Him
Mu Sheng never lost her temper in her past life, so she did not know how she looked when she got angry.
Anger could be seen in her eyes as she looked at Li Hanchen annoyingly with her cheeks flushing slightly.
Mu Sheng seemed particularly authentic and lively.
Li Hanchen smiled innocently. “I didn’t say it. I simply asked you to repeat it. What’s wrong with that?”
Mu Sheng stayed quiet. She looked at him seriously. “You were clearly teasing me.”!!
Good big brother? That certainly wasn’t what Li Hanchen was implying.
Li Hanchen stopped smiling. “Uh huh. My bad. I apologize.”
Mu Sheng was stunned when Li Hanchen apologized so quickly. “I did not need an apology.”
“In that case…” Li Hanchen cleared his throat gently and smiled even more deeply. “You can apologize to me if you like.”
Mu Sheng was dumbfounded and opened her eyes a little wider.
Li Hanchen did not use to behave like this. Why did he become so bad?
“How could you do that?” Mu Sheng had never encountered someone like Li Hanchen in her life.
A lot of people had annoyed her recently, so Mu Sheng simply decided to handle them and made them regret it.
Even though Li Hanchen was pissing her off, it was different since it was clear that he meant no harm. Other than annoying her recently, Li Hanchen remained good to her.
Mu Sheng was at a loss and slightly annoyed. She was even a little resentful.
Li Hanchen sat on the bed calmly as he looked at Mu Sheng. After he was done admiring how adorable she was, he finally said, “Come over.”
Mu Sheng glanced at him. “Why?”
“Just come over.” Li Hanchen was dressed in a hospital gown as he leaned against the headboard slightly and looked inexplicably gorgeous.
Mu Sheng took two steps forward.
Li Hanchen reached his hand out and retrieved two pieces of candy from under the pillow and placed them in front of Mu Sheng, “If I give you candy, will you forgive me?”
Mu Sheng pursed her lips. “I wasn’t going to take it to heart.”
Li Hanchen patted the space beside him. “Sit over here. Let me help you peel it.”
Mu Sheng sat down obediently. Li Hanchen unwrapped a piece of candy and held it in front of Mu Sheng. She opened her mouth to eat it.
From Li Hanchen’s perspective, Mu Sheng looked obedient, and each of her long eyelashes was visible. The morning sun scattered on her and made her seem warmer.
Li Hanchen really felt like touching her head.
He reached his hand out and rubbed Mu Sheng’s head a couple of times.
Mu Sheng turned her head. “Is it nice to touch?”
Li Hanchen was stunned briefly. He thought Mu Sheng did not like it and wanted to explain when Mu Sheng reached her hand out and placed it on his head.
Li Hanchen went speechless for once.
Mu Sheng finally stopped after she rubbed Li Hanchen’s head until his hair was completely disheveled. “It certainly feels pretty good.”
When Qin Kai got to the door and caught the situation in the room, he deeply regretted interrupting.
Li Hanchen was usually meticulously dressed, but he was wearing a patient gown and leaning on the headboard with his hair in the mess thanks to Mu Sheng.
He was smiling happily and appeared particularly relaxed.
No one would have thought he was the man who struck terror in everyone’s heart…
Li Hanchen stopped smiling and turned to look at Qin Kai when he heard footsteps.
Qin Kai wanted to reverently greet him. Since Mu Sheng was around, Qin Kai simply nodded slightly. “I have something to tell you.”
Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng. “I want to eat pork ribs, prawns, and Chinese cabbage for lunch.
Mu Sheng almost exploded when she heard his matter-of-fact tone. However, when she tasted the candy in her mouth, she simply stood up and said, “Got it.”
Qin Kai stood at the door pretending he was not there until Mu Sheng left the hospital ward. He walked over and said, “Mr. Li, did you want to see me?”
“Get in touch with the production team of ‘A Journey Through Food’ and fund the project,” said Li Hanchen to Qin Kai as he unknowingly rubbed his hands as though he could sense Mu Sheng at his fingertips.
“Okay. In whose name?” asked Qin Kai respectfully.
Li Hanchen contemplated briefly. “Golden Group.”
The moment Li Hanchen said this, Qin Kai was stunned. Golden Group? Did Li Hanchen want to back the project in the name of the headquarters?
Even though Flourishing Age Group had suddenly appeared in the country, it was just a Golden Group’s outpost.
Qin Kai thought Li Hanchen wanted to invest in the show in the name of Flourishing Age Group, but Li Hanchen unexpectedly wanted to use the headquarters to do it.
This would probably cause a major reaction globally if Golden Group got involved. After all, the headquarters was internationally well known. He had to think about how to handle the aftershock of such a move.
“Yes, Mr. Li.” The order came from Li Hanchen and Qin Kai never doubted his decisions. “I will take care of it now.”
“Uh huh.”
——
Meanwhile, at the Li residence.
Li Ming gave the investors “A Journey Through Food” pressure and made them pull out their funds.
“How many of them have left?” Li Ming lazily took a sip of red wine with his legs crossed.
Did Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng want to appear on an entertainment program? Did they want to become a hit? Dream on!
He was going to personally ensure they would not get a dime out of the show.
“Mr. Li, most of the investors have already pulled out. I have also sent word in the industry. Anyone who wants to invest in the show has the Li family to worry about,” answered the assistant.
“Uh huh. Send the word out. This includes all the studios and post-production companies. No one is allowed to work for the show unless Mu Sheng gets taken off.”
“Yes, Mr. Li.”
Although the Li family could not compare to the real elites like the Chu family, they were still an important family in high society.
Most wealthy families did not dare to oppose them, let alone ordinary companies.
After hearing from the Li family, everyone agreed to stop working with “A Journey Through Food”.
Meanwhile, at the production office of “A Journey Through Food”.
The investors had pulled out, and even the landlord was telling them to leave and refusing to rent the space to them.
The cameramen and makeup artists left one after another.
The production office used to be bustling with activity in the past, but now it looked particularly gloomy.
“Li, why don’t you leave after collecting your bonus? I won’t make you stay. I plan on going back to my hometown and retiring as well,” said the director as he looked at the depressing sight in front of him and shook his head.
“Someone is here to see you outside.”
“Who is it?”
“He said you will know when you get to the conference room,” said his assistant before walking the director there.
The director looked at the man dressed in a business suit curiously. “Hi, there! What can I do for you? We have already ceased all commercial activities.”
Qin Kai smiled. “How do you do? I am here to talk about working with you. We want to invest. There are no strings attached, so you just have to film as per normal.”
Joy rose in the director’s eyes before it quickly disappeared. “It’s too late. Even if I have an investor, I can’t produce the show. Thanks for the offer though.”
The director would have been very happy if he heard about this investor two hours ago. Now he had learned that the Li family owned Tiger Shark, and they were behind the closure of “A Journey Through Food”.
Since he was a local, he naturally knew how powerful the Li family was. Even families in high society did not dare to oppose them. How could ordinary companies go against their will?
The moment he finished his sentence, he noticed that the man continued standing where he was, so he said, “I know you mean well, but…”
Before the director could finish his sentence, Qin Kai handed him his name card.
The director automatically took it from him as he muttered, “Why don’t you get it?”
Oh god! The director instantly opened his eyes wide with his eyes trained on the words on the name card and read it out loud.
“Qin Kai, assistant to the CEO of Golden Group.”
Golden Group?
Golden Group!
Everyone knew about this company, and it was public knowledge that its CEO had been the richest man in the world for years.
The director was afraid he had made a mistake, so he rubbed his eyes and looked at the name card again before raising his head to look at Qin Kai. “Is there some mistake with your company name?
Qin Kai smiled. “We own the trademark for this company name, so we are the one and only Golden Group.”
The director swallowed his saliva in disbelief. “Really? Can I go online to verify your title?”
“You can’t find me online.” Qin Kai walked over to the computer by the side. “Don’t worry. I am not lying. Come over. See that guy there? He is Golden Group’s Head of Investment. He will speak to you about the details of our collaboration. His information is available online.”
A professional-looking man was sitting across Qin Kai. The director secretly checked online as he walked up to him before he finally compared him to a face in a video.
He was absolutely astonished!
This was real!
Since the director had not spoken to someone so important in his life, he could not help feeling nervous. Thankfully, the Golden Group representatives were very patient with him.
Both parties came to an agreement 30 minutes later.
The director remained at a loss up till the moment he signed the contract.
For some reason, he thought about a saying.
Where there was a will, there was a way!
It felt as though even though he had lost some melon seeds, he ended up chancing upon an entire watermelon.
The director did not know how he managed to walk out of the office. When he fell down publicly at the entrance, he sat on the ground and grinned like a fool.
Before long, news appeared online.
Topics about “A Journey Through Food” collapsing and its director going insane quickly became the hottest subject on social media.
[I feel so bad for him. Mu Sheng was pure bad luck. She really jinxed the show. What on earth has she done? Mu Sheng should just die!]
[Is he really crazy? From the looks of it, he looks just like my grandfather with dementia.]
[Wow. Mu Sheng is really the bearer of bad luck. Wherever she goes, trouble follows. The director of “A Journey Through Food” must be blind to put her on the show. What on earth did he see in Mu Sheng?]
The moment pictures of the director going crazy got posted online, everyone blamed Mu Sheng for jinxing the show on social media.
A lot of people suddenly showed up dissing Mu Sheng.
The director was so furious that he posted a response to defend Mu Sheng.
Since the director was synonymous with insanity to the public, everyone thought he was joking.
The director really wanted to tell everyone about Golden Group’s investment. Since they had yet to finalize the contract, he was not privy to say it.
The director was at home tightly holding his phone in fury with his face red.
——
After Mu Sheng went back to the villa, she told Auntie Lin what Li Hanchen wanted for lunch. She brought the food to the hospital after Auntie Lin had prepared it.
Mu Sheng unexpectedly encountered someone she did not want to see while she was driving.
She was waiting for the light to change at the traffic light when a car suddenly crashed into her. Even though the impact was minor, she was startled.
Mu Sheng opened the car window. Ruan Yingying was sitting in the car nearby.
Ruan Yingying glanced at Mu Sheng’s car in contempt.
A car worth only $400,000 to $500,000 was no different than garbage.
Mu Sheng was absolutely cheap. Even though she was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Ruan Yingying did not have to worry about her.
“Sheng, this is such a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here.” Ruan Yingying took off her sunglasses and raised her head slightly as she glanced at Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng veered her eyes and did not want to waste her time on Ruan Yingying.
Ruan Yingying could not suppress the smile on her face. “Sheng, I heard you took on an entertainment program. It’s too bad that the director has gone nuts. Aren’t you going to check on him?”
A female artist with a heavily made-up face came closer to Ruan Yingying and said, “Why should she? The director went nuts because Mu Sheng gave him bad luck. The show used to be a hit, but it is now dead.”
Ruan Yingying raised her hand and covered her mouth gently. “Jia, you shouldn’t say that.”
“It is what it is. Fortunately, this magnet for trouble has left Talent Scout Entertainment. Otherwise, the company is bound to get burdened by her.”
Just as they were chatting happily, the green light went on, so Mu Sheng stepped on the gas.
The car beside Mu Sheng revved its engine and seemed competitive before it accelerated and sped off.
Mu Sheng drove her car and followed behind them.
Ruan Yingying and Chen Jiao were both bitching about Mu Sheng’s car as they drove up ahead.
“Yingying, Mu Sheng is so broke. How could she drive that car? Isn’t she worried that the tires might fall off while she is driving it?”
Ruan Yingying covered her mouth and laughed. “That is why she has to take on an entertainment program. Sadly, she won’t be able to appear on it anymore.”
“She deserves to stay broke forever. Hahahaha!”
The chauffeur quietly rolled his eyes in his heart when he overheard these female artists’ conversation.
They were such pretentious and fussy bitches.
Was a car worth $400,000 to $500,000 considered trash? They probably felt a car worth tens of millions was rubbish too, right?
Who did they think they were? Ptooey!
Mu Sheng raised her head and glanced around. The traffic police had pulled her over to check her car when she came by in the morning. They mentioned that the surveillance camera here was damaged.
Mu Sheng looked around carefully and saw that the infrared light on the camera was not operating and the camera ought to be malfunctioning.
Mu Sheng suddenly turned left and accelerated into Ruan Yingying’s lane.
Ruan Yingying and Chen Jiao were touching up when they suddenly sensed the impact. Ruan Yingying’s hand slipped and her lipstick left a long mark on her face until it went straight for her eye.
“What is going on?” Ruan Yingying stood up with lipstick on her face as she covered her eye and shouted. “Call the police! Send me to the hospital!”
Mu Sheng sped past them outside and drove into the distance.
After getting herself checked out at the hospital, the doctors concluded that Ruan Yingying’s eyes were hurt, so they cleaned her wound and bandaged her eye to prevent further damage.
“I have an event in the afternoon!” Ruan Yingying covered her eyes and said with her face flushed in fury, “Have you reported this to the police? Get the police to catch her! Mu Sheng did this on purpose.”
The talent agent rolled her eyes. “Can you cut it out already? The cops said there was no sign of any accidents in your car. Instead, they have video evidence of you tailgating. The traffic police have already deducted points for your license.”
The talent agent felt Ruan Yingying was being absolutely unreasonable for lying.
“How is that possible? Mu Sheng was clearly behind this!” Ruan Yingying was furious, but no one wanted to listen to her explanation.
——
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Li Hanchen sat leaning against the headboard as he waited for Mu Sheng
His eyes lit up when he saw Mu Sheng coming in with lunch.
He was always strong and independent, and he never needed anyone to take care of him.
However, Li Hanchen felt it did not feel too bad to get taken care of now.
After Mu Sheng placed the food in front of him, Li Hanchen pushed his luck again. “I want to eat pork ribs.”
Mu Sheng glanced at Li Hanchen quizzically. “Then go ahead.”
Didn’t she already place the food in front of him?
Li Hanchen sighed softly. “My arms are a little sore after the surgery. For some reason, I am in a lot of pain.”
Mu Sheng examined Li Hanchen’s pulse carefully. “Everything is normal. Since you are recovering, it is normal for your body to react this way. It will pass in a couple of days.”
Li Hanchen could not help wanting to tease Mu Sheng when he saw the serious look on her face. “My hand hurts, so I can’t hold the chopsticks.”
Mu Sheng went speechless. She pulled her hand back and instantly looked annoyed before she finally took some pork ribs and placed them in front of Li Hanchen’s mouth. “Here.”
She decided to help him since he was a patient.
An imperceptible smile swept across Li Hanchen’s face before he took a bite of pork ribs. “It tastes great. I want some vegetables.”
Mu Sheng gave him vegetables.
“Rice.”
She fed him rice as well.
Li Hanchen ate with great satisfaction and felt this was probably the best meal he ever had in his life.
A nurse walked in halfway through lunch to change Li Hanchen’s IV as Mu Sheng stood by the side.
Before the nurse left, she said, “Since you are a VIP, you can call us if you need anything.”
Just as the nurse was about to leave, Mu Sheng called her, “Anything at all?”
“That’s right.” The nurse smiled warmly.
“Then can you feed him lunch? His hands hurt.” Mu Sheng pointed at Li Hanchen.
The man was simply fussy and kept asking for stuff, so Mu Sheng felt it was better to let the nurse do it.
The nurse looked at Li Hanchen and found his aura intimidating. Also, the dark look in his eyes felt scary. She instinctively shrank her neck. “Erm… do you need anything?”
Just as Li Hanchen was about to say he could feed himself, he swallowed his words when he recalled lying about his pain. “I think it isn’t appropriate since you are a woman.”
The nurse smiled. “It’s fine. Don’t worry. We have male nurses too. Let me get you one!”
Before long, a burly male nurse with a mustache and sideburns came into the room. His voice sounded rough as he said, “Who needs help with food? What do you want to eat? Let me help.”
