Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

Chapter 115 - The Sly Mr. Li

Chapter 115: The Sly Mr. Li

The talent agent was not alone with his huge reaction. The moment Qiao Siyu posted something on his social media account, the crowd went into a frenzy.

He certainly lived up to his name as a superstar. In just a minute, his new post trended as the top search on social media.

@Qiao Siyu: [The scandal is a pure lie. Mu Sheng is an excellent actress.]

[I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. After I tapped on the post for a look, I realized it was really you! Aren’t you going to post a selfie?”]

[Erm… I get it if you want to defend a fellow actress appearing in the same drama as you, but it is a complete joke for you to say she is an excellent actress. Mu Sheng’s acting is simply… I think it is an insult to the acting trade to call her an actress.]

[Am I the only one who thinks something feels strange about this? Qiao Siyu is a lofty award-winning actor and only makes a new post every two months. The moment he did, he defended Mu Sheng. Plenty of other female celebrities had appeared in the news with him, but he never spoke up for any of them.]

The moment Qiao Siyu attested to Mu Sheng’s brilliant acting, people posted clips and screenshots of her previous television dramas.

The fans went speechless as they opened their eyes wide and looked at Mu Sheng’s mechanical acting.

They were dying to ask Qiao Siyu what on earth he was thinking? Was he abducted and saying this as a part of the kidnapper’s demands? If he were threatened into doing this, please blink.

Even the viewers could tell Mu Sheng had no acting skills. Since Qiao Siyu was an award-winning actor, it was impossible for him to miss this.

“What’s going on? Why did Qiao Siyu defend her?” Ruan Yingying’s eyes opened wide as she looked at his post.

“I found it strange too. Qiao Siyu never responds to gossip.” Ruan Yingying’s talent agent looked worried.

They boldly posted the scoop because they knew Qiao Siyu would not respond to it. If Qiao Siyu refused to speak up for Mu Sheng, no one would believe Mu Sheng no matter how she tried to explain herself.

No one expected Qiao Siyu to respond so quickly to directly clear Mu Sheng’s name.

“Does Qiao Siyu like Mu Sheng or something?” Jealousy emerged in Ruan Yingying’s eyes. “He was so nice when he filmed with Mu Sheng, but he treated me so coldly on set.”

“I doubt it. Qiao Siyu behaves that way when he films all his other shows. After all, he is an award-winning actor, so it is only normal for him to be aloof,” comforted Ruan Yingying’s talent agent.

Ruan Yingying’s talent agent also felt Qiao Siyu treated Mu Sheng somewhat differently.

The talent agent sighed as she thought about Mu Sheng’s breathtaking good looks. If Mu Sheng did not offend Talent Scout Entertainment, she could have a very successful career in the entertainment industry using her face alone. It was just too bad.

Mu Sheng was unaffected by the gossip online. After all, she rarely kept up with social media. Countless fans kept cursing her on social media, but she did not know about it, so it was useless.

Li Hanchen went to pick her up after work as usual.

On their way home after Mu Sheng got in the car, she thought about her contract with the talent agency and turned to say, “From now on, you don’t have to pick me up. I will go back on my own.”

Li Hanchen tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly as he asked with a straight face, “Are you in trouble?”

“It is stated in my contract that I am not allowed to date. If anyone snaps any pictures of you when you pick me up, it might cause trouble for me.”

Li Hanchen pulled over by the roadside before he turned to look at Mu Sheng deeply and asked, “Does the contract state you aren’t allowed to date?”

Mu Sheng nodded. “Uh huh.”

“I see.” Li Hanchen’s voice sounded so husky that it sent tingles through Mu Sheng since they were sitting in an enclosed space inside the car. “Do you mean we are dating?”

Mu Sheng opened her eyes slightly. “Nope.”

“Then why can’t I pick you up?” Li Hanchen slowly reasoned with Mu Sheng. “Since we are not dating, you are not flouting the terms when I pick you up, right?”

Mu Sheng contemplated. Li Hanchen seemed to make a lot of sense. Mu Sheng closed her eyes slightly and wanted to rest. “Okay.”

Li Hanchen finally turned to start the engine with a smile on his face.

She was certainly gullible.

By the time they got back to the villa, Qin Kai had already sent Li An home. The moment Li An saw Li Hanchen, he pounced on him and looked upset. “Did Eminent Senior High make some mistake? How could they have let me through their door? That place is pure hell!”

He used to think that the curriculum in his previous school was tough, but Eminent Senior High was a million times worse. Its school curriculum was highly challenging. Also, he had to attend all kinds of extracurricular activities like etiquette, sports, and hobbies. His entire day was completely packed with school activities.

More importantly, his classmates were insane. Even though the Advanced Math questions looked like Sanskrit to Li An, his classmates were able to solve them effortlessly. Li An genuinely felt stupid after spending a day in school.

“Big Bro, can I go to a normal school? Any other school will do,” suggested Li An to Li Hanchen cautiously.

Qin Kai found Li An’s reaction hilarious. People dreamed of getting accepted by Eminent Senior High. If not for Li Hanchen’s status, it would be impossible for someone with Li An’s terrible grades to get in.

Li Hanchen quickly answered, “No.”

Li An looked at Mu Sheng imploringly. This time, Mu Sheng was on Li Hanchen’s side. “Study hard.”

Li An said miserably, “Why is my life filled with torture?”

“Since I have brought Young Master An home, I will get back to work.” Qin Kai bowed reverently to Li Hanchen.

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Li Hanchen before Qin Kai prepared to leave.

“Kai, can you help me get some scallion cake tomorrow…” Before Li An could finish his sentence, he sensed Li Hanchen looking at him coldly. Li An promptly put down his hand and stopped waving. “No, it’s fine. I don’t need breakfast.”

Qin Kai smiled and gestured okay to Li An when Li Hanchen was not looking.

Li An’s eyes lit up. Qin Kai was such a kind soul! He had to share the scallion cake with Qin Kai tomorrow!

Before the three of them even entered the villa, Mu Sheng received several text messages on her phone from Cat Live. It was Cat Live’s operation team trying to reach her.
