Chapter 154: A Languid Afternoon Together
Li Ming contemplated before he called ho. “Tell Li Hanchen and Li An to co back for the family dinner this month.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The butler secretly sighed sadly the mont he heard Li Ming’s orders. He could tell Li Ming was up to no good again.
In the afternoon, Mu Sheng had nothing to do, so she curled up on the couch lazily and read. Li Hanchen did not go to the office either and sat beside her.
Mu Sheng turned to glance at him in between her reading. “Aren’t you going to work?”
Li Hanchen shook his head. “There is nothing much I can do to help at work, so I would rather not go.”
Mu Sheng stopped asking and quietly continued with her reading.
Li Hanchen glanced at the modern architecture theory book in her hands and narrowed his eyes. “What do you like to read? If you give a list, I can borrow them for you. My office is very near the library.”
“Okay.” Mu Sheng did not turn down his offer. She picked up a pen and a piece of paper and swiftly wrote a list before handing it to Li Hanchen.
Li Hanchen took the list and saw topics about quantum chanics, bridge engineering, and spacecraft propulsion.
He felt surprised. “You certainly have a wide interest.”
Mu Sheng tilted her head sideways. “What’s wrong with that?”
Li Hanchen shook his head. He put the list away. “Nothing. I will borrow these books for you.”
The afternoon sun made the atmosphere feel languid.
Inside the living room, Mu Sheng curled up under the blanket as she read a little. Since the sun was rather warm, Mu Sheng gradually got sleepy from reading. She pulled the blanket up and covered herself so that only half of her exquisite face was visible.
Mu Sheng’s breathing gradually beca consistent as she fell asleep and Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng fixedly.
Outside the large French windows, trees swayed. Sunlight penetrated through the leaves and so light landed on her face. Mu Sheng’s eyelashes glead slightly from the sun, so Li Hanchen moved to the side a little to help shade the sun from her eyes.
Only the slight sound of the warm gentle air current could be heard in the living room and it felt as though the entire world had gone quiet.
In comparison to the peaceful atmosphere at the villa, Cat Live was in chaos.
One of their top live telecasters, Jiang Rou’er, had arrived 30 minutes ago asking for contract termination.
Jiang Rou’er was an average gar. Also, her singing couldn’t be compared to other professional telecasters. The main reason she was capable of climbing to the top and becoming an anchor at the platform was that she was on good terms with the other anchors. She was always generous with gifts, so she ended up wheedling her way into the circle.
The other anchors were all big nas in their categories. Now that Jiang Rou’er was leaving, they couldn’t help feeling upset.
“Rou’er, we have been partners for so long, if you are unhappy, we can sit down to discuss it. Do you have to suddenly leave?” The manager called Jiang Rou’er and spoke to her nicely in an attempt to make her stay.
“There’s no point talking about it now. You chose to be heartless and gave up on first, why bother begging to stay now?”
The manager was at a loss. Even though Jiang Rou’er’s place on the platform was threatened ever since the arrival of Mu, it was out of their control.
The platform had given Jiang Rou’er the best contract terms and resources. They had single-handedly made her an anchor. How could she turn around and call them heartless?
“Tell what’s wrong…” Before the manager could finish his sentence, Jiang Rou’er hung up the phone.
“Oh no.” An employee ran in anxiously just as Jiang Rou’er hung up the phone.
