Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted Chapter 186 – You Can Live Off Me

Li Hanchen kept looking straight into her eyes the moment Mu Sheng finished her sentence without saying a word. She could not help feeling puzzled. “What's wrong?”

Li Hanchen looked at her profoundly. “How much money do you have left after buying these cars?”

Cat Live split income with live telecasters 50: 50, so Mu Sheng received just enough money to buy only two cars.

Mu Sheng took out her phone and checked her bank balance. Well done. She had become a pauper yet again. “I still have $1,200 left. It's okay. I can always make more.”

Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng quietly with fireworks in his eyes. “Did you finish spending all your money because you bought me a car?”

Mu Sheng did not have money sense. In her opinion, it was only natural to spend money. She nodded. “You can drive it from now on.”

Li Hanchen smiled. He took two steps forward and embraced Mu Sheng before she realized what he wanted to do.

However, Li Hanchen simply embraced her without doing anything else.

Mu Sheng was caught by surprise. “What's wrong?”

Li Hanchen's sexy voice echoed beside her ear. “Thanks.”

Mu Sheng wanted to take a step back, but she changed her mind when she recalled what she heard about Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen was abducted ten years ago. Now that he was finally back, his own family kept making his life hard for him. If it weren't for her, he would not have survived for more than a year.

This must be the reason that he was so touched whenever someone treated him well.

After Mu Sheng thought she had figured out why Li Hanchen was hugging her, she patted Li Hanchen's back as though he was a child and comforted him, “Don't worry. Things will get better in the future.”

Li Hanchen tightened his embrace on Mu Sheng and pulled Mu Sheng towards him.

Since Mu Sheng was a head shorter than Li Hanchen, she was entirely pulled into his arms and all she could smell was his cool pine scent.

Mu Sheng could keenly sense Li Hanchen's palpitating heart with her head against his chest.

As his physician, Mu Sheng felt Li Hanchen's heartbeat was simply abnormally fast, so she said candidly, “Why is your heartbeat so fast?”

“Uh huh.” Li Hanchen smiled. “Thanks for the car.”

Mu Sheng felt it was strange to hug Li Hanchen. Li Hanchen's manly scent made Mu Sheng uncomfortable and she instinctively struggled, so he instantly went stiff.

He let go of Mu Sheng and looked at her so deeply that it was impossible for her to see what he was thinking.

Mu Sheng noticed the serious look on his face and swiftly changed the subject. “Do you want to go for a spin?”

Li Hanchen nodded. “Sure. Come along with me.”

Li Hanchen got into the car and scrutinized its interior.

He had driven plenty of luxurious cars in his life that were worth way more than this Mercedes-Benz GLS, but it was the first time he ever scrutinized every detail inside his car.

Mu Sheng felt her gift was a success when she noticed how much Li Hanchen adored the car.

Li Hanchen raised his head. “Do you only have $1,200 left?”

“That's right.” Mu Sheng was unworried. After all, her live telecast proceeds were pretty decent, so it was more than enough for her daily expenses.

Li Hanchen unwrapped a piece of candy and placed it beside Mu Sheng's mouth. “Since you gave me a car, you can live off me from now on.”

The moment Li Hanchen said this, Mu Sheng went stunned. She was already living rent-free and eating off Li Hanchen. To a certain degree, Mu Sheng was already living off Li Hanchen.

However, it felt weird when he said it. Sadly, Mu Sheng could not put her finger on it.

Li Hanchen glanced at her calmly. “What's wrong? Weren't you the one who said it yourself earlier?”

Mu Sheng nodded to Li Hanchen. “Uh huh.”

Li Hanchen suppressed the laughter on his face and took out his phone. “I can't take your car for no reason, right? How about this? Let's make a verbal agreement. Otherwise, I feel as though I am taking advantage of you.”

“What agreement?”

Li Hanchen tapped his phone to record the conversation. “Since you gave me a car, you can live off me from now on, okay?”

Mu Sheng thought Li Hanchen was talking about covering her food and rent, so she nodded. “Okay.”

Li Hanchen saved the audio recording before he looked at Mu Sheng. “Stupid girl.”

Mu Sheng was puzzled. “What?”

Li Hanchen turned his head. Even Mu Sheng could tell he was in an excellent mood as he started the engine. “Nothing. Doesn't matter. Let me take you for a ride before dinner.”

Before Mu Sheng was able to clear her doubts, Li Hanchen interrupted her, “I have a new kind of chocolate in my coat pocket. Help yourself.”

Mu Sheng promptly got distracted. Sure enough, she reached for the candy without asking further questions. The new chocolate was sweet and not overpowering. It was impossible for her to find any of his candies out in the stores. “Why is the candy unbranded? I don't even know where to start when I try to find it inside the stores.”

“They aren't open to the market yet. They are only available as samples. If you want any candy, just let me know,” answered Li Hanchen as he drove.

“I see.” Mu Sheng did not probe further.

Meanwhile, inside a meeting room somewhere in town.

Research and development staff were looking at the screen in surprise.

“Uh huh.” The manager explained the situation to the research and development team. “The investor wants us to open a dedicated line to take care of his requests for candies. We don't have to worry about profit. We just need to meet his demands. Also, he will pay the team handsomely.”

“Erm…” No one had any reason to turn down such a good offer. Although it was the strangest investor they had ever encountered, no one could say no to the money no matter how many dedicated production lines he demanded.

Li Hanchen took Mu Sheng out for a spin in the city. The sky was already completely dark and all the neon lights on the buildings had lit up. It felt as though the city had come alive.

Mu Sheng suddenly felt hungry after going for a spin and turned to say, “Let's go back. I am hungry.”

Li Hanchen acknowledged her immediately. He raised his head and looked at the supermarket in front of them and said, “Give me a minute. I need to buy something.”

“Okay.”

Li Hanchen parked the car and got off.

He came back with a bag of stuff five minutes later. Mu Sheng did not pay attention to the things he had bought. Instead, all she could think of was Auntie Lin's cooking.

As they drove under the beautiful night sky, Li Hanchen became a hit online.

A topic had been trending online on social media today; it was about posting pictures of the hottest men people had ever encountered on the street.

A lot of pictures of random hunks people had met in this street were found on the post.

Among all the pictures, one of the pictures took from the side was becoming a major hit at rocket speed. Everyone kept liking the picture and reposting it. In just five minutes, over 20,000 people had commented about it.

Li Hanchen was dressed in a well-made suit inside the picture with a black coat hanging over his shoulders. He was tall and lean. Also, his profile was so exquisite that it looked like a work of art.

Even though it was just a picture of him quietly standing in front of the cashier making payment, he had an incredibly powerful aura. He gave off the aura of a formidable businessman no matter what he was doing.

“Omigod! I have to post this picture! I was shopping at the supermarket when I suddenly turned at the corner and saw him! He is absolutely gorgeous! I was so blown away by his good looks that I almost had a heart attack!”

Everyone felt the same way when they saw the picture.

[Oh god! He is the most handsome man appearing in this post. I feel as though I am not good enough to look at him! He bears such striking resemblance to domineering CEOs inside web novels. I am sure I will dream of him tonight.]

[How could you have the time to take a picture! This man is one in a million. Why didn't you ask for his number? If you asked for his number and ended up dating him, it would be the story of the year!]

[Erm… Can't you see what he is carrying?]

Now that someone pointed this out, everyone finally noticed the things he had just bought.

Brown sugar and ginger slices.

Men might not be aware of what these products were for, but all women promptly knew what this meant.

[I am sorry. I am not good enough for him. It is clear that he is already dating someone. I am so envious that I am in tears.]

[Even though he is gorgeous, he was thoughtful enough to buy his girlfriend brown sugar. All my boyfriend ever does is remind me to drink more water. Why is there such a huge gulf between them? I am so annoyed!]

[Sob sob sob! I really want to know who he is. He is really pleasant to the eye. The gods must be showing off when they made him while the rest of us were just made from scrap material.]

Li Hanchen's picture became a huge hit on social media. By the time Qin Kai came to know of this, it had already become the hottest post on social media.

Li Hanchen had just arrived at the villa when he received a call from Qin Kai. After hearing about it, Li Hanchen contemplated for a moment and said, “It's fine. Just leave it there.”

Since the Li family kept trying to keep his existence a secret, he had to find some way to let the public know that Li Hanchen was back in town.

Even though the netizens did not know who Li Hanchen was, the other elite families quickly learned about his online presence.

Everyone was quickly reminded of the abduction incident where the kidnappers took off with both boys from the Li family.

People were quickly reminded of the Li family's ruthlessness.

Although the kidnappers asked for a $2 billion ransom for each child, the Li family had a long history and had accumulated a lot of wealth, so they were perfectly capable of saving both children.

Even if they were unable to fork out that much cash immediately, they had a lot of rich and powerful friends. If the Li family wanted, they would have no problem coming up with the ransom.

Some of the elite families had even come up with the conditions of loaning the Li family money the moment they asked.

However, the family surprisingly gave up on Li Hanchen and only paid Li Ming's ransom. Their actions caused a major furor among the high society, but the Li family stayed quiet and didn't explain themselves. As time passed, everyone gradually forgot about the terrible tragedy.

The photo trending online reminded everyone of the Li family's scandal, and everyone had a different opinion about the family.

However, they were right about one thing. Things were about to get exciting at the Li residence.

After Mu Sheng was done having dinner, she went upstairs to do a live telecast.

In order to motivate Mu Sheng to be punctual, Cat Live had signed a bonus contract with her. Since she was broke from buying two cars, Mu Sheng was determined to get the bonus by doing live telecast punctually.

Her viewers were enthusiastic as usual and the viewership numbers continued to climb every day.

“Hi, everyone,” greeted Mu Sheng before starting her game.

Mu Sheng's number one fan kept giving her gifts tonight. It felt as though C was trying to make up for all these days of silence.

All the viewers quietly sighed enviously as the fireworks kept exploding on screen. This man was genuinely loaded.

[Commoners like us will never understand how a rich man thinks. I really want to know who the CEO of Flourishing Age Group is. He is so generous with his money.]

[Oh god! Now that you mention it, I wonder if Mu Sheng knows Flourishing Age Group's CEO personally. Perhaps he is willing to throw so much money at Mu Sheng because he already knows how pretty she is]

[That goes without saying, right? Everyone is talking about it online. Mu Sheng only has the best resources because of Flourishing Age Group's CEO. Otherwise, why do you think Cat Live is investing so much money in her?]

The viewers kept making their relationship sound shady as C kept showering Mu Sheng with gifts.

Mu Sheng raised her brow slightly when she saw him giving her gifts to no end. Since she hadn't gamed with C for some time, she turned on the microphone and said, “Want to game?”

C promptly joined her team. For some reason, Li Hanchen's name came to mind when Mu Sheng saw his gaming ID.

However, the thought only crossed Mu Sheng's mind for a fleeting moment before she focused on the game. With Chen around, she had a far easier time gaming.

Now that Mu Sheng was gaming with Chen, she could play to her heart's content without worrying about her blind spots, so she was able to pull off flawless maneuvers. The game she had just played was even more intense than before and left the viewers dying for more. When it was time for her to finish, her viewership had reached astronomical numbers.

After turning off the computer, someone knocked on the door. Mu Sheng answered it to see Li Hanchen standing outside with a glass.

Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen and thought about C's gaming ID. “Do you play video games?”

Li Hanchen shook his head. “Nope.”

“Fine.” Mu Sheng trusted Li Hanchen a lot. Since he said he was not a gamer, Mu Sheng took it at face value.

“Drink this before you go to bed.” Li Hanchen placed a cup of brown sugar and ginger drink in front of Mu Sheng. Steam was rising from the cup and she could smell its sweet scent.

Mu Sheng looked at him perplexedly. “What is this for?”

In her past life, the government gave her some medicine to change her anatomy so that she would never experience pregnancy and childbirth to ensure she would contribute fully as a science prodigy.

Mu Sheng failed to notice that Li Hanchen's ears blushed slightly as he said, “Auntie Lin told me to make you drink it.”
