Chapter 48 -48: The Ruthless CEO with a Love-Struck Brain

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.

This was terrifying!

Has President Li fallen in love?

Who has such charm to turn President Li into this? Everyone was utterly curious about the girl on the other end of the phone.

Seeing everyone in the conference room in shock, only Chen An, standing behind Li Muchen, smirked in disdain.

Ha, these people really haven’t seen much of the world.

They could never guess that President Li, whom they think is an unapproachable and heartless tyrant, is actually a total romantic.

In front of the young girl, not to mention posturing and acting aloof, what he really wants is to keep the girl in his arms without letting go, wishing he could always be close to her.

Even!

Today, Chen An even discovered that President Li had, at some point, snapped a side-profile photo of Lu Sheng, using it as his phone wallpaper!

The picture must have been taken stealthily during yesterday’s meal; the missus was not even looking at the camera, just focused on eating.

After setting the new wallpaper, President Li stared at his phone screen for a full ten minutes.

Just when Chen An thought President Li had fallen asleep with his eyes open, Li Muchen suddenly picked up his phone and asked, “Isn’t she cute?”

“…”

At that moment, he inhaled sharply, forced to reply with a smile: “Yes, the missus is indeed very cute.”

On the surface, he seems unruffled, but inside, a storm has blown through, leaving not a leaf on the branches.

You know, before this, President Li had never bothered with things like changing phone wallpapers and probably didn’t even know how to do it.

So he must have secretly Googled how to change the wallpaper and did it himself.

Just thinking about the secretary who came to deliver coffee this morning, not daring to breathe too loud in the office, while President Li was coldly Googling how to change the wallpaper, Chen An found it hilarious.

Is this what a man in first love looks like?

The power of love is indeed tremendous.

—

When Lu Sheng went up to the rooftop, elsewhere in the school building’s corridor.

Probably having heard some noise, Zhou Wu immediately came out of the office, hurried over.

With an outsider suddenly appearing at the school, all the students from every class were also watching the excitement from the hallway.

“Hello Mr. Zhou,” said the short-haired woman, “I’m Journalist Sun Qing from Jiang City TV Station. I’ve informed your principal in advance, and I am here today specifically to interview the young girl who heroically saved someone yesterday.”

Sun Qing showed her press pass, and Zhou Wu immediately went to shake her hand, politely saying, “Hello, Journalist Sun. The principal mentioned to me this morning that your station would be sending someone over, but I didn’t expect it so soon.”

“After all, news requires timeliness and relevance,” Sun Qing replied with a polite smile. “Let me introduce you, this child here is Xiao Yan, the boy who was saved yesterday.”

“After contacting Mrs. Fang, Xiao Yan’s mother, she said she and her son would like to personally thank the sister who saved him, and Xiao Yan’s older brother also came along.”

“It should be recess right now, with about half an hour left before class starts,” Sun Qing said, “Mr. Zhou, do you find it convenient to let me interview your student, Lu Qianrou?”

“Of course, of course,” Zhou Wu replied, “Qianrou is in the class now. I’ll have someone call her out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone had already run into Class A to notify Lu Qianrou.

When Lu Qianrou heard that a journalist from the TV station had specifically come to Shengjing to interview her about yesterday’s act of heroism, she abruptly stood up, her heart racing with panic.

How did it become such a big deal, with TV station personnel coming to interview her?

She might muddle through online, but if the journalist asks for details of yesterday’s rescue, what will she say?

Then she heard the person in front of her say, “Not only has the journalist arrived, but the little boy you saved and his family came too, saying they want to thank you in person.”

Lu Qianrou nearly choked, her voice trembling, “…what did you say?”

Thinking Lu Qianrou hadn’t heard clearly, the person repeated it.

“I said the little boy you saved came with his mom, and there are also two super handsome guys, apparently the kid’s brothers.”

“They want to thank you in person and are waiting for you outside right now, Qianrou, you should go out quickly.”
