After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: I am their biggest financier.

At first, hearing a familiar voice in a daze, Lu Sheng thought she was dreaming.

But she quickly realized it wasn’t a dream.

The unmistakable scent of burning incense, the warmth of their bodies pressed together, and the lingering touch of his kisses on her skin—all of it was so real.

A man’s deep voice echoed beside her ear, accompanied by warm breaths that sent a tingling warmth rising to her earlobes.

"Why are you... here?"

Lu Sheng opened her eyes to meet the man’s deep, affectionate gaze, and instinctively asked.

"After I returned to Jiang City, I’ve been handling work. Once I settled everything over there, I came."

Li Muchen spoke as he kissed the girl’s slightly warm earlobe. "Lan Yu sent me the address and had a servant bring me to this room. You were sleeping soundly and didn’t hear me come in."

Seeing her lover and being held so tightly in his embrace, a sense of security overwhelmed her completely.

Her first instinct was, of course, joy.

But as she thought back to the sulking mood she had before falling asleep, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but put on a cold face and push him away to create some distance.

"Then why didn’t you tell me in advance?" she said, turning her head away in a rare sulky tone. "And why didn’t you reply to my message before I went to sleep?"

This was the first time he had seen the girl acting so irritable. Li Muchen found her adorable yet felt a pang of guilt.

For once, he shamelessly leaned closer again, wrapping Lu Sheng tightly in his embrace.

"I didn’t ignore your message. My phone just happened to run out of battery at that moment. As soon as I charged it and saw your message, I responded right away."

"It’s just that you must’ve already fallen asleep by then, so you didn’t see it."

As he spoke, Li Muchen reached over to retrieve Lu Sheng’s phone, which had been placed on silent and left by her bedside table in a fit of her earlier sulking.

Lu Sheng’s phone unlock password was the date of their first encounter—an important day that Li Muchen remembered clearly.

He unlocked her phone and opened their WeChat chat log, showing the screen to the girl in front of him.

Only then did Lu Sheng see that, about twenty minutes after she had sent her message before falling asleep, Li Muchen had responded with several messages.

[Are you asleep, baby?]

[I’m sorry, baby, my phone died earlier and I didn’t see your message. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be mad at me.]

[Chen An showed me the livestream of you at the Shi Family’s event. I finished my work and am heading to Beijing now. I should arrive around two or three in the morning.]

[Are you asleep? If so, sleep well for now. When you open your eyes again, you’ll already be in my arms.]
