“Okay. I’m going back to my room since I feel fine already.” Li Hanchen came out of the blue and suddenly left.
Mu Sheng could not help sensing something amiss as she watched from behind while he left. “Hey.”
Li Hanchen turned unhurriedly. “It’s getting late, so you can’t have any more candy. I will give you more tomorrow.”
“Who says I want to eat candy?” Mu Sheng frowned slightly. He was making her sound so greedy.
Li Hanchen smiled as he opened his coat pocket and showed it to Mu Sheng. “I will give you more tomorrow.”
“… I told you I wasn’t looking for candy.” Even Mu Sheng failed to detect the change in her tone. Her soft voice sounded a little shy and angry. Li Hanchen could not help finding her adorable.
“Fine. You don’t want candy, but I insist on giving them to you.” Li Hanchen’s lips curved upwards into a smile. He checked the time and said, “It’s late. Have an early night.”
“Okay,” acknowledged Mu Sheng before walking up to the bed and telling him naturally, “Help me close the door and turn off the lights.”
“Uh huh.”
Mu Sheng had already closed her eyes when Li Hanchen left and looked peaceful and adorable. Li Hanchen stood at the door as he looked at her deeply before turning off the light to leave.
At night, Li Hanchen sat in his room with his computer screen flickering as he tapped on the keyboard giving out orders as information from all over the world reached him on his computer.
Light landed on Li Hanchen’s cool gorgeous profile making him look majestic as he gave off a ruler’s aura.
Li Ming was calling Li Ting from a hotel. “Dad, Li An grew up in the family after all. Now that Li Hanchen has become a good for nothing, how could we let Li An live with him in squalor?”
“Why bother with him?” Li Ting kissed the beautiful woman in his arms. He did not like Li Hanchen and Li An at all.
“Dad, I don’t want Li An picking up bad habits from him. People might gossip about you for ill-treating your ex-wife’s kids.”
Li Ting instantly stopped moving when he heard what Li Ming said.
Li Ming made sense. A lot of people kept talking about it when he decided not to pay ransom for Li Hanchen. if he threw Li An out of the family, even more people would gossip about him.
“Fine. Make Li An come back home. If we offer him $20,000 more for his monthly allowance, I am sure he will come back without putting up a fight.”
“Yes, Dad.”
The next day, Li An was dragged into a car by the roadside by men in black the moment he left school.
“Who are you? Let me go!” Li An struggled a few times and stopped when he saw Li Ming sitting inside the car. “You? What do you want?”
Li Ming leaned into the seat lazily. “My dear little brother, I am here to take you back to the Li family.”
Li An frowned in contempt. “I am not your little brother. My mother only had two children and you are just an illegitimate son.”
Li An’s words struck Li Ming where it hurt. He laughed coldly. “You might want to live with your stupid older brother, but have you ever asked Li Hanchen if he wants to live with you?”
Li An’s expression altered.
Li Ming continued, “Do you want to live in luxury in the Li family or stay with Li Hanchen?”
“Who wants to live in luxury with you?” Li An stood up furiously, but the bodyguards pressed him down.
“Shhh.” Li Ming placed his index finger by his lips. “Think about what I said. If you continue to live with Li Hanchen, we will stop giving you your allowance and paying for school. Li Hanchen will also lose his allowance. Do you plan on begging in the streets with him?”
