The broom got kicked onto the walls with a clang. Mu Sheng’s actions left the manager and Li Ming startled.
“Miss, what are you…” Since Mu Sheng was in the company of Li Ming, the manager sounded polite. He did not have a clue why this stunning young woman suddenly threw a temper.
Li Hanchen raised his head and made eye contact with Mu Sheng. Even though Mu Sheng’s eyes were usually cool and distant, an emotion surged through them now.
It seemed she was angry.
Li Hanchen lowered his eyes to conceal the emotions running through his eyes.
Since Mu Sheng completely ignored the manager, the manager turned to Li Hanchen and said, “Hey. Go pick up your tools and do as I say. I will skin you alive if you do not do a good job.”
Just as Li Hanchen was about to walk over, Mu Sheng grabbed him by the wrist.
Mu Sheng frowned. Her eyes were icy cold as she looked at the manager. The manager automatically retreated because of her imposing aura.
Mu Sheng pulled Li Hanchen’s arm and headed out, but Li Ming stopped them in their path at the corner.
“Sheng, are you sure you want to be with a man like him? A man who is only fit to clean the bathroom.” Li Ming watched as Mu Sheng held Li Hanchen’s hand. Li Ming wanted to embarrass Li Hanchen, but he ended up jealous.
Li Hanchen had nothing. He was a good-for-nothing who depended entirely on the Li family’s charity. Mu Sheng would rather be with him than be Li Ming’s woman, so Li Ming could not help feeling upset.
Mu Sheng stood still and looked at Li Ming frostily in despise. “I think you are not fit to even clean his bathroom.”
Mu Sheng was walking ahead, so she failed to notice when Li Hanchen suddenly raised his head.
“Pftt. I hope you don’t end up kneeling before me to beg me one day.” Li Ming looked straight into Mu Sheng’s eyes with fury burning in them.
Mu Sheng stopped talking, pulled Li Hanchen behind her, and left.
Li Ming had all attention on Mu Sheng all this time, but he finally looked Li Hanchen in the eye as he was walking past him.
This time, he could not help feeling anxious.
Through his effort, he had become the crown prince of the Li family all these years. However, it felt as though he was back at Li Hanchen’s birthday party 15 years ago for a moment.
He was still a lowly illegitimate son who had to hide in the shadows as he looked at Li Hanchen standing on this stage. It felt this kind of success would never be his.
Even after Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng were long gone, Li Ming remained dejected. Li Ming quickly composed himself when he recalled the reports from his assistant for Li Hanchen’s surveillance.
Li Ming must be feeling this way because the trauma was too deep. Li Hanchen was undoubtedly a good for nothing and was completely at Li Ming’s mercy now.
Li Ming kept convincing himself in his heart before the sense of oppression finally dissipated. He waved his assistant over. “Come over. I want to tell you something.”
Shortly after leaving the office, Mu Sheng let go of Li Hanchen’s arm and proceeded to walk ahead on her own. She had a cool aura to begin with, now she was even colder.
Mu Sheng did not say a word even after they got into the car.
Li Hanchen glanced at her before pulling open his coat jacket. “I have a few new flavors of candy today. Do you want to try them?”
