Chapter 228: Mu Xiao's Plot Blows up in Her Face

Li Hanchen held his breath when Mu Sheng came close to him and looked at Mu Sheng deeply.

Mu Sheng raised her head when she detected Li Hanchen looking at her. "What are you looking at?"

Li Hanchen narrowed his eyes slightly like a snow leopard giving off a predatory aura. "Aren't you going to get up?"

Mu Sheng frowned. "I refuse. What can you do about it?'

"Fine. Then be my guest," said Li Hanchen as he leaned towards Mu Sheng and tightened his grip on her waist slightly to pull her into his arms.

Mu Sheng ended up sitting on Li Hanchen's lap in his embrace.

Li Hanchen held Mu Sheng's waist with his left hand and picked up the chopsticks with his right and continued eating.

They were sitting close to the dining table, so Mu Sheng could see the braised pork and rice and could even smell the fragrance in the air. She could not help swallowing her saliva.

Since Mu Sheng was dressed in the gown, she could keenly sense the warmth radiating from Li Hanchen's hand at her waist, so she unknowingly moved.

Li Hanchen's chopsticks froze in midair.

"Come on. Let me take you out to eat." Li Hanchen put down his chopsticks and almost instantly pulled Mu Sheng up before running upstairs. "Let me go get changed. Give me a minute."

Mu Sheng felt a little less annoyed. From the looks of it, Li Hanchen had a conscience.

However, Li Hanchen had yet to come downstairs 30 minutes later.

Mu Sheng went upstairs to look for him. The moment she got to the bedroom door, it opened. Li Hanchen had shockingly taken a bath and his hair was slightly damp.

Mu Sheng opened her eyes wide. "How could you do this? I was waiting downstairs for you on an empty stomach. How could you take a bath?"

Li Hanchen dried his hair with the towel. The moment he saw Mu Sheng's red lips and bare shoulders, he instantly felt he needed another bath. "Let's go downstairs now. I will take you out for lunch."

"Are you deliberately trying to make trouble?" Mu Sheng was hungry, but Li Hanchen ended up keeping her waiting. She did not know why Li Hanchen was doing this to her and felt he must be messing with her.

Li Hanchen put the towel aside and put on his clothes before holding Mu Sheng's hand and going downstairs. After helping her put on her coat, he led her out the door.

"Where are we going?" Mu Sheng was still annoyed with Li Hanchen.

After composing himself, Li Hanchen turned to look at Mu Sheng. "I'm taking you out for a feast. If you don't come back satisfied, I will do whatever you want if it makes you happy, okay?"

No one was able to take it when Li Hanchen looked at them intently. No matter how oblivious Mu Sheng was, she was no different.

She veered her eyes slightly. "That depends."

Li Hanchen smiled. He reached his hands out to touch Mu Sheng's head, but she stopped him. "You can't touch my head."

A look of powerlessness swept across Li Hanchen's eyes. "Fine."

He pulled his hand back and started the car.

Since it was sometime after lunch and it took over one hour to get there, it was past 3:00 pm when they got to the mountain lodge.

After driving past an apricot tree forest, they arrived at a traditional-looking building with quiet surroundings nestled deep in a bamboo forest.

"Welcome. Your room is ready. Let me show you the way."
