Lu Sheng washed her face but did not return to the classroom.
Talking to Fu Chen made her feel uncomfortable, so she went up to the rooftop of the teaching building to get some fresh air and called Li Muchen.
The call was answered instantly, connected after just one ring.
“Did you sleep well?” Lu Sheng asked as her first question.
“Yes.” The man’s voice on the other end of the line was still pleasant.
It was slightly deep and magnetic, making one’s ears itch, as if he was blowing gently on her earlobe through the phone, bewitchingly charming.
“Did you behave?” Lu Sheng said, “When I left yesterday, I told Chen An to take care of a lot of things. Did you do as you were told?”
“…Yes,” Li Muchen chuckled softly, the man whose aura was usually too intense to look at now responded to the girl with unbelievable tenderness, “I behaved.”
“I only drank millet porridge when I woke up in the morning, and at about nine o’clock, I had some ginseng soup. I only walked for about ten minutes, not tiring myself out. I’ve already had someone take the prescription to get the medicine, and I’ll drink it this afternoon.”
Li Muchen listed everything one by one, and as Lu Sheng listened to his responses, she couldn’t help but smile with her phone in hand.
He remembered and responded to everything she had said.
This made her feel very pleased.
“Good boy—” Lu Sheng brought her phone a bit closer, her tone a bit softer, “I want to kiss you, as a reward.”
A second of silence on the other end, his voice lower than before: “I’m at the company, I’ll come to pick you up now, wait for me for fifteen minutes.”
Fifteen minutes?
Lu Sheng blinked, recalling that when she was at the Fu Family yesterday, she had asked Chen An about Li Muchen’s daily schedule, and also casually asked how long it would take to drive from Li Group to Shengjing.
She remembered Chen An said it would take at least half an hour, and that’s when the traffic was clear.
How come now Li Muchen only wants her to wait for fifteen minutes? Could it be he’s flying over?
In fact, Li Muchen was indeed planning to fly over.
When he told her over the phone that he would pick her up, he had already calculated in his mind.
It would take about five minutes for him to get from the conference room to the helipad on the roof, and a private jet from the company to Shengjing would take about ten minutes.
Adding it up, fifteen minutes was perfect.
Using a private jet would save half the time compared to driving, and he did not want his little girl to wait too long.
Lu Sheng did not know that because of her simple request, Li Muchen was already planning to have the helicopter prepared on the rooftop.
Not thinking too much about it, as she still had classes to attend, she said, “You don’t need to pick me up now, I still have two classes, but we can have lunch together.”
“Mhm,” Li Muchen’s voice was low, “then I’ll wait for you outside your school at noon, okay?”
Lu Sheng said okay, then promptly hung up the phone.
Li Muchen also hung up.
However, the next second he looked up, instantly returning to his usual expressionless face and coldly continued, “Let’s continue with the report.”
“Yes…”
A middle-aged man in a suit with a slightly balding head stood up in a hurry, quickly flipping through the documents in his hand.
The large conference room was dead silent, the people sitting on both sides of the conference table all trembled with fear, their expressions almost petrified.
They were still not over the shock from what had just happened.
—What on earth was that?!
The person on the phone just now saying he had been good, was that the always gloomy and harsh President Li, who seemed like a living King Yan?
His expression was too gentle, wasn’t it?! His voice was low and carried a smile, his eyes filled with adoration.
