Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

Chapter 212 - Li Hanchen Keeps Annoying His Wife

Chapter 212: Li Hanchen Keeps Annoying His Wife

“I am so curious about who managed to find a cure for Mr. Li.” An old man with gray hair looked at Li Hanchen’s medical report as he shook his head uncontrollably.

It was an absolute miracle. In theory, Li Hanchen’s condition was hopeless, but someone managed to pull him back from the brink of death.

His condition had improved vastly and even his failing organs were slowly recovering.

If he had not treated Li Hanchen for years, it would never occur to him that the medical report was his.

It was simply incredible.

“Why won’t this genius doctor let us go in? We really have to watch him in action, even better if we can become his disciple.”

“Unknown geniuses like them usually keep a low profile and don’t want people to know who they are. This is such a pity. If only I could meet him. I think it would be a real honor and I wouldn’t have lived a life in vain. Since he was able to treat Mr. Li, it is as good as bringing the dead back to life.”

Everyone kept talking about Li Hanchen’s mysterious doctor and felt disappointed about not seeing him.

It did not dawn on them that the young woman wearing a mask who had just gone into the operating theatre with Li Hanchen was the genius doctor capable of performing miracles.

Li Hanchen had already changed and was lying on the operating table in the operating theatre when Mu Sheng went in dressed in a surgery gown and checked the equipment.

All the equipment she needed was here.

Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen lying on the operating table. “Don’t worry. Everything will be over once you wake up in six hours.”

Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng. “Okay.”

Mu Sheng gestured for the anesthetist to anesthetize Li Hanchen. Before long, Li Hanchen fell asleep, and his mind went blank.

Everyone in the conference room waited anxiously as the surgery room lights stayed on.

Although they had witnessed the miracles this genius doctor was capable of, Li Hanchen’s condition was simply too serious, so they could not be 100% sure of successfully treating him.

Time went by second by second from morning until 9:00 pm before the operating theatre doors finally opened.

All the experts waiting outside encircled the patient.

They pushed Li Hanchen to his hospital ward and checked his physical statistics.

Since they were in the hospital, they had to keep their volume down. Otherwise, these serious-looking cautious experts would have screamed in shock by now.

This was inconceivable!

Li Hanchen’s physical statistics had improved in a single surgery. If things continued to progress at this rate, it was just a matter of time before he became completely healthy.

It was a pure miracle in the history of medicine.

Everyone looked around for the genius doctor but ended up disappointed. Sadly, the genius doctor had already left the hospital. Sigh. A god like the genius doctor would never want to have anything to do with mere mortals like them.

Meanwhile, a young woman wearing a mask entered the ward. Although it was impossible to see her face, she was clearly stunning judging from her aura.

Since everyone remembered seeing this young woman come over with Li Hanchen, they assumed she was Li Hanchen’s confidante.

They watched as the pretty young woman headed straight towards Li Hanchen’s bed and even wanted to touch his wrist and instantly encircled him worriedly.

“Miss, Mr. Li has just undergone surgery and he has yet to stabilize, so please come back when he is better.”

“That’s right, Miss. Mr. Li was treated by a genius doctor, so even we did not dare to touch him. For the sake of his health, please come back later.”

Everyone kept talking as though Li Hanchen was as fragile as glass and would break at a single touch. Mu Sheng did not know what to say.

She glanced at Li Hanchen. Since Li Hanchen was already a lot better, she halted and turned to leave.

Everyone watched from behind as Mu Sheng disappeared through the door. After they were done examining Li Hanchen, they started talking about the work of the genius doctor once more.

“Sigh. When can I get to see the genius doctor?”

“Now that I am getting on my age, my biggest wish is to see him in person and become his disciple. Sigh.”

——

Meanwhile at the Li residence.

Li Ting sat on the couch looking at Mu Qian in front of him with imperceptible contempt in his eyes.

He smiled as he said.

“What brings you here, Qian? Why did you come looking for me?”

The moment Li Ting called Mu Qian by his first name, his face crumpled slightly before he suppressed his anger.

Back in their family’s heyday, Li Ting always addressed him as his big brother. Now that their family was in decline, Li Ting quickly changed his ways.

Since the Mu family genuinely could not compare to the Li family, he could only smile and get to his point, “I came today mainly because of my daughter. She is such an embarrassment.”

“Mu Sheng? What did she do?” Since Li Ting always kept a close eye on Li Hanchen, the same went for Mu Sheng.

“Sigh.” Mu Qian looked deeply disappointed. “Mu Sheng is an embarrassment. She has become an artist and has forgotten how to be a lady. She even learned how to game. Now she is an absolute shame to the clan.”

The moment Mu Qian mentioned this, Li Ting promptly assumed Mu Sheng was just one of those desperate female artists he had encountered in his life.

Since Li Ting was a well-known playboy in high society, plenty of female artists kept throwing themselves at him.

Those female artists did everything they could to seduce Li Ting and sleep with him.

Now that Li Ting had learned Mu Sheng was also a female artist, he could not help frowning. “That is simply unbecoming of her.”

“Exactly.” Mu Qian sighed. “My daughter has already married into the Li family, so I no longer have a right to discipline her. I hope you can help with that.”

Li Ting nodded. “That goes without saying.”

This went for both Mu Sheng and Li Hanchen.

Both of them were simply out of hand.

Mu Qian wanted to say more, but Li Ting had already stood up. “Qian, I’m sure you don’t mind walking yourself out, right? I have something to attend to. As you know, I have a lot of work waiting for me.”

“Of course.” Mu Qian stood up as well. He felt embarrassed when he was asked to leave. “I have to get back anyway.”

“Good.” Li Ting called the butler over and said, “Help me send Qian out. I have to attend an online conference now.”

The butler walked Mu Qian out.

Shortly after leaving through the doors, Mu Qian scoffed, “Ptooey! Are you afraid I’m here to borrow money? How dare you look down on me?”

After Mu Qian was done scolding Li Ting, he called Mu Xiao to remind her that she had to get Li Ming to marry her.

When Li Ming became his son-in-law and inherited the Li family, let’s see how long Li Ting could stay cocky!

Mu Qian turned to glance at the imposing doors detestably before he glared in Li Ting’s direction and went back to his car.

——

It was already past midnight at the hospital.

The hospital ward was completely quiet and only the sound of the machines could be heard.

Li Hanchen was lying on the bed when his eyelashes suddenly trembled, and his eyes moved slightly before he opened them with great difficulty.

He had regained consciousness and could sense immense pain running through his body.

The anesthesia had already worn off, so Li Hanchen was in so much pain that it felt as though he had gone back to the old days before Mu Sheng treated him.

The excruciating pain evoked dark memories from Li Hanchen’s mind, making a terrifying aura emanating from him.

Li Hanchen veered his head sideways and glanced inside the hospital ward. The moment he noticed there was no one else in the room, disappointment swept across his eyes before he slowly closed them again.

Just as he was about to seal himself in his dark memories, the door suddenly opened and footsteps could be heard coming towards Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen did not open his eyes since it could only be the nurse coming in at this hour.

“Hasn’t he woken up yet? That can’t be right. He should have woken up by now.” Mu Sheng’s clear bright voice suddenly came from beside Li Hanchen.

He hastily opened his eyes and saw Mu Sheng standing by the bedside. Her hand was in midair as she reached out to examine his pulse.

“Are you awake?” Since Li Hanchen had regained consciousness, Mu Sheng pulled her hand back. “I knew it. Judging from your condition, you ought to have woken up by now.”

Mu Sheng held up the lunch box in her hands and waved it in front of Li Hanchen. “Why don’t you have a bite?”

Li Hanchen glanced at the lunch box. “I just had surgery. Is it fine for me to eat?”

Mu Sheng glanced at him. “Are you doubting my medical skills?”

Li Hanchen smiled. “Of course not.”

Although Li Hanchen was still recovering from surgery, Mu Sheng’s suturing technique was very special. Despite the pain, it did not take as much time to recover from them.

Mu Sheng took out the porridge, scooped a spoonful, and placed it by Li Hanchen’s mouth

Li Hanchen pursed his lips. “It’s hot.”

Mu Sheng held the spoon and blew the porridge before feeding him again.

“It is still a little hot.”

Mu Sheng cooled it again before giving it to Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen opened his mouth and ate it.

The porridge was absolutely sweet.

Mu Sheng had to continue blowing the rest of the porridge before Li Hanchen would eat it.

She almost exploded as she glanced at Li Hanchen. “Why are you being so fussy?”

Li Hanchen lowered his eyes as his eyelashes left a shadow on his face and looked lonesome. “I am sorry. No one has ever fed me porridge before.”

Mu Sheng went quiet as she thought about all the terrible things Li Hanchen had encountered in his life and went soft. “I don’t mean to be harsh. Enough. You should get some rest.”

“What about you?” Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng with anticipation.

Mu Sheng glanced at the empty bed nearby. “I will stay here with you. If anything happens to you in the middle of the night, I can take care of it.”

“Okay.” Li Hanchen nodded slightly. He glanced at the light. “It’s too bright.”

Mu Sheng adjusted the light, and it promptly went dim and soft.

“I am a little cold,” said Li Hanchen before Mu Sheng had even walked back.

Since Li Hanchen was her patient, Mu Sheng decided to let it slide.

She walked over to Li Hanchen and pulled up the blanket. Before she had even let go of the blanket, Li Hanchen said, “I want more water.”

Mu Sheng patiently brought him another glass of water and fed it to him with a spoon.

Just as Mu Sheng was about to leave, Li Hanchen frowned.

“What’s wrong?”

“It hurts.”Li Hanchen seemed to be in agony as he looked at Mu Sheng.

“Well, there is nothing I can do about it. You just have to deal with it.”

“How about this?” Li Hanchen kept trying to push the boundaries. “Why don’t you sing for me? I want to listen to you sing. Maybe it will help alleviate the pain.”

Mu Sheng went quiet. She was on the brink of exploding when she lowered her eyes and saw the shoes she was wearing.

Li Hanchen had given them to her when they went for dinner at the seaside.

Mu Sheng thought about how patient Li Hanchen was at the restaurant when he put them on for her, and she miraculously calmed down. She sat by the bed with a powerless look on her face. “Fine. What do you want me to sing?”

“Anything.” An imperceptible smile emerged on Li Hanchen’s face.

Since Li Hanchen said anything was fine, Mu Sheng sang the first song that crossed her mind.

Li Hanchen gradually closed his eyes as he listened to Mu Sheng singing gently.

Although it felt as though there were a million needles stuck inside, and he was in excruciating pain, Li Hanchen never felt this peaceful in his life.

After Mu Sheng finished singing three songs, Li Hanchen opened his eyes. “It’s a little noisy. Why don’t you go to bed?”

Mu Sheng was flabbergasted. She did not have a temper, but she felt Li Hanchen kept getting on her nerves recently. “If you think I am noisy, then why did you ask me to sing?”

“I simply asked you to sing to help pass time.” Li Hanchen’s dark eyes glinted as he smiled.

Mu Sheng stood up and went back to the empty bed, took off her shoes, pulled up the blanket, and covered her face.

She did not want to talk to Li Hanchen anymore!

She always felt Li Hanchen was a decent guy. From the looks of it, Li Hanchen was simply mean.

Li Hanchen watched as Mu Sheng lay in bed huffily with her back facing him, and his eyes lit up even more brightly as he smiled deeply.

Why was she so adorable? Even though she was aloof, she was like a child at heart.

“Mu Sheng,” said Li Hanchen. His voice sounded inexplicably sexy in the darkness.

“What?” asked Mu Sheng succinctly.

“I was just joking.” It was so quiet in the room that Li Hanchen’s serious voice could be heard clearly. “Your singing is lovely. Those are the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he added, “I mean it.”

Mu Sheng stayed quiet for a while before she acknowledged him, “Uh huh.”

Mu Sheng sounded cool, but her ears had turned red under the blanket the moment Li Hanchen praised her singing.

Mu Sheng buried herself deeper under the blanket, and her ears and face were flushed from the warmth of the blanket.

She felt Li Hanchen must be joking about her singing.

Li Hanchen seemed to read her mind, and his voice echoed in the room once more. “I swear on my health that I have never heard such beautiful singing in my life.”

Mu Sheng suddenly sat up and frowned as she looked at Li Hanchen. “I treated you, so I don’t like it when you joke about your health.”

Li Hanchen smiled as he looked at Mu Sheng. “Hmm? Are you worried about me?”

Mu Sheng lay back down and pulled up the blanket. “No. Go to bed.”

“Okay.” Although Mu Sheng denied it, a smile remained on Li Hanchen’s face for a long time.

Everything in the room went quiet.

As it got later, it felt as though the entire city had quietened down.

However, the social media network was completely crippled after the official social media account of “A Journey Through Food” posted a few announcements one after another.

“A Journey Through Food” was the hottest food-related entertainment program on the market in recent years. They had yet to announce any other guests for the new season except for Mu Sheng.

The fans had been checking the news every day and rushing the production team for updates, but there were no updates on its official social media account. It seemed as though the production team felt they could get away with anything.

Just as the fans had nearly lost all hope and felt unloved, “A Journey Through Food” unexpectedly promoted two groups of guests at dawn.

Everyone was already caught by surprise when the official social media account suddenly promoted the guests. The moment everyone got a close look at the guests appearing on the show, everyone nearly lost their breaths and passed out.

[Oh god! How can this be right? This looks like a complete battlefield. Can someone from the production team explain yourself? Did you pair the guests wrongly? Is there some mistake?]

[I can’t believe my eyes. “A Journey Through Food” is simply incredible. They have just pulled off something everyone is dying to see. However, no one had the guts to do it to date. Hahahaha! This is killing me.]

[I can’t believe they came up with this. I am sure they will have record-breaking viewership this time around. Haha!]

Everyone was in a furor after finding out online who the guests were.

The first group was Su Ran and Wen Lan.

One of the guests called Su Ran was a multi-award-winning actor. He had a bad reputation and was well known for being arrogant and proud in the entertainment industry.

The other guest was called Wen Lan. She was also a multi-award-winning actress. In contrast, Wen Lan had an excellent reputation.

The two of them did not run in the same circles, but something happened during an interview. The moment the reporter brought up Wen Lan, Su Ran curved his lips condescendingly as he said, “She has non-existent acting skills.”

The public was outraged, and both their fans kept ripping at each other’s throats every moment they could.

Now that they were going to appear as guests on the same team on the program, everyone could sense a tempestuous storm coming their way.

The other team of guests was even weirder.

Everyone found it inconceivable why the director would want to pair them together.

The second group was Ye Zhipei and Chu Rao.

Ye Zhipei was technically not someone from the entertainment industry. He was a professor from a renowned university. After he appeared on national television in an educational program, he became a sensation and had a massive following because of his good looks and knowledge.

He was upright, reserved, and was a complete gentleman.

Just as Chu Rao’s name suggested, she was so sexy that she turned heads everywhere she went. Her reputation was just as bad as Su Ran’s. In everyone’s opinion, Ye Zhipei and Chu Rao were poles apart.

[Has the director gone bonkers? Have I gone nuts? I am so stunned by these teams.]

[Oh god! I don’t even dare to think about what might possibly happen. Will Su Ran and Wen Lan get into a fight? When Ye Zhipei talks about literature, is Chu Rao going to pole dance? Hahaha! I can’t believe it. The director is such a genius.]

[Now that you mention it, I am kind of looking forward to seeing them battle it out. Start the show already. I can’t wait to watch it. Do you think they will fight on public television?]

After everyone yelped in joy, they suddenly counted and realized something was amiss.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

Hmm? Were they not one man short? Who was going to be Mu Sheng’s partner? Was it Qiao Siyu as rumor had it?

Everyone demanded to know who the sixth guest was.

However, they coolly told the viewers to check out the official social media account tomorrow morning.

Everyone cursed in disappointment. They launched their first wave of promotion in the middle of the night and kept them in suspense. Had they forgotten their place?

Despite their cursing, they quickly decided to forgive the production team since they adored the show a lot.

They counted down until the next morning.

At the behest of the audience, the official social media account finally announced the last guest for the show.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Li Hanchen’s name appearing on the program’s official social media account.

This did not seem right. In all their life chasing artists and entertainment news, they had never heard of this name in the industry.

After they checked out his photo online, they realized he was awfully familiar.

[I finally remember who he is! He is the gorgeous man who caused a sensation online! Howl! Even his name makes him sound like a domineering CEO. Li Hanchen! I love it!]

[I remember him too. After I saw his photo online, I dreamt of being married to him and having his kid for a few nights in a row. I dreamt of him leading his subordinates and chasing after me to take me home with 99 tanks behind him.]

[Why isn’t Mu Sheng’s partner a celebrity? I know he is hot and all, but he looks imposing and unapproachable. Can someone like him do well on an entertainment program?]

[Hello? Of course Mu Sheng can only get a guest who isn’t in the entertainment industry. Considering her status in the business, she should count her lucky stars that the program found her such a hunk, okay?]

After announcing the final guest, news about all its guests was officially out.

As the viewers kept talking about the guests, a sexy female celebrity wanted to run off with her tails between her legs at her talent agency.

Chu Rao held up her half-done nails as she muttered. “Omigod! Are you crazy? How could you put me on the same team as Ye Zhipei? Do you want me to die?”

The talent agent looked at Chu Rao inexplicably. “What has gotten into you? Prof Ye is a great pick. He is refined, gentlemanly, and kind. We had such a hard time fighting for this opportunity.”

Chu Rao wanted to cry as she sat on the couch and covered half her face. “Kind my a*s!”

“Huh?” The talent agent did not hear Chu Rao clearly, so she asked, “What did you just say?”

Chu Rao raised her head and looked like she was going to die if the talent agent did not give in. “I beg you! Please tell the director to let me partner with someone else. If I have to work with Ye Zhipei, god knows if I will come back alive.”

She had to appear on an entertainment program with her ex-boyfriend! Was this some kind of test? Despite how cultured and professional Ye Zhipei appeared, he was a master of manipulating her using her weaknesses. Just thinking about him made Chu Rao tremble uncontrollably.

Was she meant to die?

Mu Sheng got up and took her phone for a glance before she turned her head. “Are you appearing on an entertainment show?”
