Inside the living room, Mu Sheng had already stood up before she looked at Li Hanchen. “I am going back to my room. If you feel sick, let me know.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Li Hanchen huskily. His head was lowered, so it was impossible for her to see the look in his eyes.
After Mu Sheng had disappeared upstairs, Li Hanchen finally raised his head and looked in the direction Mu Sheng had left with a complicated look in his eyes.
Li Hanchen looked at the glass nearby that had almost broken from the fall and instinctively heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank god.
Fortunately, Li An showed up. Otherwise, he would not have managed to suppress himself and might have done something to her.
Mu Sheng went back to her room and went to bed. Even though she always slept well, she was surprisingly sleepless.
Mu Sheng kept tossing and turning in bed. She could still smell the faint scent of alcohol and a cool pine scent. It made her think of Li Hanchen’s cool deep eyes.
Mu Sheng pulled up the blanket and buried her head under it, but she was still unable to sleep 30 minutes later. The smell of pine was keeping her up. She pulled off the blanket and went to take another shower to wash away the pine scent lingering on her before she was finally able to sleep in peace.
Mu Sheng went to bed late and needed eight hours of sleep,
The next morning, Li Hanchen and Li An sat in the dining room waiting for her for over 30 minutes, but there was no sign of Mu Sheng. Li An was already so hungry that his stomach was growling.
Li Hanchen put down the paper. “It’s okay. Why don’t you start first?”
Li An finally dared to reach his hand out to grab a crab bun and shoved it into his mouth before looking at his brother with his eyes narrowed. “Oh wow. This is awesome!”
He secretly glanced at Li Hanchen. After staying well behaved all morning, Li An noticed his brother had no intention of scolding him for interrupting him last night, so he got bold. “Aren’t you going to check on her?”
Li Hanchen turned his head and saw that Li An’s eyes had lit up with a nosy look.
Li An was clearly thinking Li Hanchen should be more thoughtful towards Mu Sheng after having a good time last night.
Li Hanchen’s face instantly turned cold. Li An was so startled that he swallowed the crab bun whole and got choked. “Cough cough… Cough… Help me…”
Li Hanchen halted before he finally went over to pat Li An’s back hard.
Even though Li An finally swallowed the crab bun, he felt like he might die from those slaps on his back. He seriously suspected his older brother was out to get him after getting in his way last night.
Humph! Li An looked sad and found his older brother petty!
“From now on, if you go on watching strange shows, I expect a 5000-word review of your actions.” Li Hanchen pulled his hand back and uttered these words.
The moment Li An heard what Li Hanchen said, he shrank his neck and looked miserable.
Just as Li Hanchen was about to disappear upstairs, Li An pursed his lips. He grabbed another crab bun and shoved it into his mouth angrily.
Auntie Lin happened to come out with soup and saw Li An sitting there with a miserable look on his face. She could not help smiling nonstop. “Young Master An, your older brother loves you a lot.”
“No way.” Li An pouted with food in his mouth as he frowned. “He is always so mean.”
“He just doesn’t say it.” Auntie Lin gave Li An a bowl of soup. “He has a picture of you when you were kids on his headboard. He only talks to you fiercely because he treats you like his little brother. If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t have bothered doing it.”
Auntie Lin gradually convinced Li An, but he acted as though he refused to give in. “Humph. I don’t believe you.”
However, the uncontrollable smile on Li An’s face and his bright eyes gave him away.
