Chapter 151: Mu Sheng Was Like a Cat

On their way back, Li Hanchen chatted with Mu Sheng as usual. “How was work? Did you make any progress with the script?”

Mu Sheng nodded. “Not too bad. We changed a few scenes and the endings for a few characters.”

Li Hanchen was a master manipulator. After hanging out with Mu Sheng, he had a keen grasp of her personality.

Mu Sheng was like a cat. Even though she looked aloof, she reacted whenever he played with her. Once he had a keen grasp of her personality, she became very agreeable and easy to get along with.

Everything hinged on sincerity. Mu Sheng was no fool, so she could smell insincerity a mile away.

Fortunately, Li Hanchen had oodles of sincerity towards her.

Also, he had the patience to slowly create an impenetrable net and entice Mu Sheng to enter it.

Li Hanchen asked without batting an eye, “What show is it? I don’t watch much TV. Mind telling me about it?”

“Sure.” Mu Sheng proceeded to tell Li Hanchen about the plot. She was able to practice the scenes again as she told him about the drama.

By the time she was done telling him about the show, the car had already arrived at the villa entrance.

Li Hanchen parked the car and turned to undo Mu Sheng’s seat belt. “Why did your discussion take so long? You came out ten minutes later and I got a parking ticket for it.”

“Well, it didn’t take that long actually. When we were done and preparing to leave, Qiao Siyu suggested we create a dating scandal for publicity, so we stayed back to talk about it.” Since Mu Sheng trusted Li Hanchen a lot, she spoke candidly and answered all his questions.

“What do you mean by a dating scandal?” Li Hanchen looked puzzled since he had never gone online to look at entertainment news.

“We just pretend to date so that we can get more news coverage.” It was the first time Mu Sheng had heard of this as well.

Li Hanchen’s hands froze on the seat belt. “Pretend to date? Is that a good idea? What if he is seeing someone?”

“I don’t think it is a good idea either.” Mu Sheng was looking for her phone in her bag and failed to notice Li Hanchen’s annoyance. If she raised her head and looked into Li Hanchen’s eyes at this very moment, she would have probably felt intimidated by his dark aura. “So I turned down the offer.”

“I see.” Li Hanchen raised his head. His eyes still looked a little angry. “I heard the media always likes to create scandals. I think it is better to focus on your acting and never put information that could be used against you out there.”

Mu Sheng felt instantly enlightened by Li Hanchen. She nodded in agreement. “You are right.”

“Enough. Let’s go eat. Auntie Lin has already prepared food.” Li Hanchen sat back into the driver’s seat and took out the car key before opening the door and leaving with Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng got off the car and looked at Li Hanchen. “Did I damage the car?”

“Huh?”

Mu Sheng pointed at the seatbelt.

The latch used to be perfectly fine, but it had broken in half now to reveal the black strap inside.

Li Hanchen narrowed his eyes as his fingers moved slightly in his pocket. “It wasn’t your fault; it was damaged a long time ago.”

“I see.” Mu Sheng was already famished after working on the script all morning. At this close proximity, she could already smell Auntie Lin’s delicious cooking.

After Mu Sheng had gone into the house, Li Hanchen looked at the damaged seat belt as he reached his hand out to call Qin Kai. “Send someone to take the car away.”

“Yes, Mr. Li,” replied Qin Kai quickly. “Do you need me to send a car over?”

Li Hanchen contemplated. Since Mu Sheng had to travel to work daily, she needed a comfortable ride there. “Send a modified car over.”
