　　Li Hanchen happened to raise his head when Mu Sheng looked at him. His dark eyes made eye contact with her, and they appeared so deep that they were about to suck Mu Sheng in.

　　Mu Sheng veered her eyes in a second. Although Li Hanchen was ill and powerless, her instincts told her that he was a dangerous man.

　　​​ 

　　Since Li Hanchen managed to survive in the underworld for so long, he certainly could not have simply disappeared for ten years. Also, the poison in the man’s body was proof that something unfathomable once happened to him.

　　Mu Sheng only wanted to enjoy her life and could not be bothered getting involved in the politics that were typical of a powerful family.

　　!!

　　Auntie Li had already served breakfast and Mu Sheng was concentrating on her millet porridge.

　　Despite how picky Li An was, he obediently finished all the food Mu Sheng placed in his bowl.

　　Li Hanchen frowned slightly as he observed their interaction.

　　After breakfast, Li Hanchen felt a little unwell, so he went straight back to his bedroom while Li An and Mu Sheng sat in the living room and ate fruit.

　　Li An looked at Mu Sheng enthusiastically. “Do you remember what you promised me yesterday?”

　　Since he was a teenager, he was at the time of his life when he liked video games and skiing.

　　Although Li An did not have to worry about anything when he lived at the main Li residence, he was the son of his father’s first wife, so his presence at home was sensitive. Even though he had interests, no one offered to teach him, and his pride prevented him from begging anyone to help.

　　After he moved over to live with Li Hanchen in the villa, they had trouble surviving on the meager allowance, so Li An was unable to ski.

　　Ever since Li An learned that Mu Sheng was an expert skier, he even dreamed that Mu Sheng would take him skiing in his sleep.

　　Mu Sheng glanced at him. “I can’t do it now. I’m busy.”

　　“Fine.” Li An’s eyes were filled with disappointment, but he was quickly curious. “What do you have to do?”

　　Li An inexplicably felt that it would be fun to hang out with Mu Sheng.

　　“I have to earn money,” said Mu Sheng candidly. She only had $2,500 that Li An gave her and she was impoverished.

　　Mu Sheng sat up straight. “I’m heading out.”

　　Li An went into a dilemma. In the end, he put on a thick skin and followed Mu Sheng. After all, it was simply too boring to stay home on his own.

　　The capital was a modern city. Mu Sheng had to search the city high and low before she finally found a shop that could make silver needles tucked away deep in some alleys.

　　The silversmith spent all morning making what Mu Sheng wanted based on her ill.u.s.tration.

　　Even though the silversmith’s fees were fair, it was a huge sum to Mu Sheng.

　　She had to pay $2,400 for the silver needles.

　　Mu Sheng looked at the $100 left in her hands. She consoled herself that she at least had money to hail a cab to go home.

　　Li An looked at the set of silver needles that resembled hidden weapons. “Why do you need this?”

　　Li An found his sister-in-law increasingly mysterious. She had spent most of the day trying to buy these needles that resembled hidden weapons from a novel.

　　“I’m going to treat your brother.” Mu Sheng checked the thickness of the needles. Even though she spent a long time hunting the silversmith down, he was a fine craftsman and had managed to make these needles in accordance with her demands.

　　“Do you know how to treat him?” Li An instinctively wanted to say she must be joking, but he quickly swallowed his words when he recalled how good she was at gaming and skiing.

　　“Uh huh. I just learned recently.” Mu Sheng had no intention of explaining it clearly to Li An as she reached her hand out to hail a cab.
