Seeing li Hanchenâs innocent expression, Mu Sheng was really angry. She buried herself in the quilt.âYou still donât want to admit it. I donât want to talk to you anymore. Get out.â
Looking at Mu Shengâs angry face, li Hanchen was both amused and helpless. He thought of Ye Lin, who Mu Sheng had just mentioned.
Mu Sheng did not go to the scene, so how did he know about Ye Linâs existence?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He took out his phone and opened the news app. The moment he saw the headlines, his face sank.
He typed a few lines on his phone, then sat down on the bed and patted Mu Shengâs blanket.âYe Lin is the second young lady of the ye family. Iâve never spoken more than ten sentences to her, so itâs impossible for me to buy her a necklace. She bought the necklace because I didnât need it.â
Li Hanchenâs patient explanation made Mu Sheng feel better.âThen why didnât you come back earlier?â
This time, it was li Hanchenâs turn to ask a question.
He inched closer to Mu Sheng.âDid you want me to come back so early because you have something to tell me, or simply because you want to see me?â
Li Hanchenâs voice was right beside her ear, and Mu Shengâs heart started to beat faster.âI donât want to see you coming back. You can accompany whoever you want to watch the party with.â
Mu Sheng was unhappy now and his words were harsh.
In li Hanchenâs eyes, she was extremely cute. He smiled and put his chin on Mu Shengâs shoulder.âMu Sheng.â
âWhy?â
âAre you jealous?â
Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment before she reacted.âI didn ât.â
Li Hanchenâs heart softened as he looked at Mu Shengâs quivering eyelashes. He smiled.âI swear to you that I didnât accompany Ye Lin. As for the necklace, I didnât buy it. If Iâm lying ....â
Before li Hanchen could finish his sentence, Mu Sheng sat up and covered li Hanchenâs mouth.âI believe you, okay? Thereâs no need to swear. â
Mu Sheng did not move his hand away and Li Hanchen maintained the position of kissing her palm. Seeing that Mu Shengâs face was gradually turning red, li Hanchen reached into his pocket and took out a box and handed it to Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng lowered his head to take a look, and his eyes were filled with doubt.âWhat is this?â
Li Hanchen opened the box and there was a pair of very beautiful gemstone earrings inside.âThis was left behind by my mother.â
âItâs very beautiful. â Mu Sheng praised her sincerely. Whether it was the quality or the appearance, they were all top-grade.
âIâll give it to you,â Li Hanchen handed the earring to Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng was puzzled.âWhy did you give this to me?â
âAs an apology gift.â Li Hanchen placed the box in Mu Shengâs hands.âIâm sorry. I shouldnât have stood you up. Can you forgive me?â
Mu Sheng was not stupid. Something that li Hanchen had specially gone to find must have been something very important to his mother, but li Hanchen had given it to him.
Mu Sheng clenched the box in her hand.âYes.â
Li Hanchen touched Mu Shengâs hair.âOur Mu Shengâs temper has been getting worse recently.â
Mu Sheng turned her head away in embarrassment.âI didn ât.â
âItâs fine. If you have a bad temper, so be it. I can take it anyway. â Li Hanchen smiled at Mu Sheng.âAs long as youâre happy.â
Li Hanchenâs gaze was like a soldering iron, and Mu Sheng subconsciously looked away.âArenât you going to sleep?â
âDid you have a good dinner?â
Mu Sheng hesitated for a moment before she finally told him the truth.âNo.â
