Chapter 70: Personal Chauffeur

Jiang Tian’s company was located in a rather inaccessible building in an effort to save on rent. Mu Sheng stood beneath the building for over ten minutes and was unable to hail a cab.

She contemplated before finally calling Li Hanchen.

“Mr. Li, we have a 10% growth for this quarter mainly because…” Everyone was busy updating Li Hanchen about their business in the office when someone’s phone suddenly rang.

Everyone was startled. Which idiot brought a phone into the office? Did he have a death wish?

A second later, Li Hanchen retrieved his phone from his pocket as it vibrated.

Everyone relaxed when they realized it was Mr. Li’s phone ringing.

“Hello? Okay,” said Li Hanchen succinctly before he stood up. “The meeting is over.”

Li Hanchen’s car arrived within 30 minutes.

“Do you want to go home?” Li Hanchen turned his head.

“Sure.” Since Mu Sheng was jobless for now, she had nothing to do outside, so she would rather go home and relax.

Li Hanchen stepped on the gas. They were some distance from the villa, so Mu Sheng felt sleepy before they were even halfway home and yawned a couple of times.

The moment Li Hanchen noticed Mu Sheng yawning, he said with his hands on the steering wheel, “Why don’t you have a nap?”

“No thanks. If I sleep now, I won’t be able to sleep at night.” Mu Sheng was accustomed to sleeping eight hours a day. She wanted to have some candy to help wake her up, so she reached her hand into her pocket and recalled she had finished the last of her candy.

“My right jacket pocket. Help yourself,” said Li Hanchen suddenly.

Mu Sheng turned to look at Li Hanchen quizzically before she glanced at his jacket pocket.

She reached her hand over to pull it open and saw a handful of brightly colored candy.

“I thought you didn’t like sweets.”

Li Hanchen contemplated before he said, “We are working with a candy company and this is their new product. Why don’t you help me try them out?”

“Sure thing.” Mu Sheng decisively took a candy. She peeled off the wrapper and popped it into her mouth. It was a toffee with a filling that tasted sweet, refreshing, and had a pleasant scent. Mu Sheng narrowed her eyes slightly with satisfaction. “It’s good.”

“Good,” acknowledged Li Hanchen without talking further.

The faint scent of candy filled the car. Li Hanchen felt as though he was surrounded by sweetness.

Since the office was far from the villa, Mu Sheng went quiet as she sat in the front passenger seat 30 minutes later.

Li Hanchen turned to glance and check on her when he was at a traffic light.

Mu Sheng leaned into the seat with her head slightly tilted. Her long thick eyelashes seemed like tiny fans on her closed eyes as she held two pieces of candy in her hand.

Li Hanchen took off his jacket and covered Mu Sheng with it.

Li Hanchen stepped on the gas when the light turned green.

In her daze, Mu Sheng could smell a faint pine scent in the air. Also, it smelled so pleasant and warm that she could not help feeling even sleepier.

Shortly after she fell asleep, some other driver swerved out from nowhere in front, so Li Hanchen slammed the brakes and Mu Sheng woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Li Hanchen’s cool profile, and he was dressed in a suit.

She lowered her head to see Li Hanchen’s coat draped over her. By now, it was slightly warm from Mu Sheng’s body heat.

Mu Sheng shrank under the coat and covered herself snugly before she closed her eyes once more.

Even though Li Hanchen seemed focused on driving, there was a slight smile on his face.
