“I see.” Mu Sheng was completely accustomed to Li Hanchen feeding her, so she said candidly, “Hurry up. I want to eat it with my porridge.”
Li Hanchen was initially annoyed, but the moment he heard what Mu Sheng said, his anger miraculously dissipated. He turned to glance at Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng was eating a small steamed bun and her cheeks were stuffed like a hamster. Li Hanchen narrowed his eyes before he automatically asked, “Between Qiao Siyu and I, who treats you better?”
The moment he finished his sentence, Li Hanchen regretted saying it. Mu Sheng might feel something was wrong from the way he worded his question.
However, Mu Sheng turned to look at him and contemplated seriously before she answered, “You treat me better.”
Although Li Hanchen occasionally threw his temper, he was rather good to her, and she knew it.
Li Hanchen automatically smiled, and his face looked warm as he asked, “Why?”
Mu Sheng looked at him quizzically. “What’s with these strange questions?”
“Fine. I will stop asking.” Now that Li Hanchen’s bad mood had lifted, he happily peeled another egg.
Mu Sheng held a small steamed bun in one hand as she ate porridge with her other hand. Since both her hands were occupied, she gestured for Li Hanchen to place the egg in the bowl.
Instead, Li Hanchen held the egg by her mouth so elegantly that his hand appeared like a piece of art. “I’m done eating. Let me hold it for you. It won’t taste good if it gets mixed directly in the porridge.”
During this time, Li Hanchen had imperceptibly influenced Mu Sheng to gradually make her let down her guard, and she had given in to him repeatedly. Now, Mu Sheng felt completely at ease to take a small bite of the egg before she slowly chewed.
Li Hanchen smiled imperceptibly as he waited by the side with the egg. After Mu Sheng was done swallowing the egg, he held it up for her to take another bite.
“I’m done.” After eating a bowl of porridge and an egg, Mu Sheng looked content.
“Drink this.” Li Hanchen handed her a glass of milk.
Mu Sheng shook her head. She liked toffee, but she did not like milk. She did not like the way milk smelled.
Li Hanchen retrieved a piece of strawberry candy from his pocket and placed it in the glass before swirling it around. The white fluid started to turn pink and looked very pretty.
“Here you go.” Li Hanchen placed the glass of milk in front of Mu Sheng. “Now the candy will help get rid of the bad smell.”
Mu Sheng took a sip half believingly before she automatically picked up the entire glass and drank it. After she finished the strawberry-flavored milk, she glanced at Li Hanchen. “Why do you have all kinds of candy?”
“Oh. I work with a candy company.” Li Hanchen did not go on to elaborate. “If you are done eating, can you go somewhere with me later?”
“Where?”
“You will know when we get there.”

The weather was perfect. It was starting to get warmer outside, and there was a slight spring breeze in the air. However, Talent Scout Entertainment was in chaos.
“Is this your idea of kicking her out of the entertainment industry? Why did Qiao Siyu end up speaking on her behalf?” The manager looked annoyed.
The last time Mu Sheng terminated her contract with Talent Scout Entertainment, she pulled a threat and ended up getting away with all her demands. Hence, the upper management gave the order to get Mu Sheng kicked out of the entertainment industry out of revenge and use her to help promote Ruan Yingying.
However, the more they tried, the more Mu Sheng’s reputation improved. Now she even became connected to Qiao Siyu. Even though Ruan Yingying was the female lead, she did not have the opportunity to have any scandals with Qiao Siyu. Yet Mu Sheng managed to gain hype by using Qiao Siyu.
“Don’t be mad. Don’t worry. Give me a week. I swear to make Mu Sheng leave the entertainment industry on her own, okay?” The talent agent was annoyed when her manager reprimanded her. She could only swear to get rid of Mu Sheng to appease him.
“You said it. I’ll be expecting to see some results this time,” said the manager furiously before turning to leave the office.
