Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Sangsang Getting Sick (Part 2)

But there was no point dwelling on it now.

There was no way he could actually throw Ye Sang out.

After Mu Chen calmed down, he tapped the surface of the table lightly with his fingertips and looked down at all the data the research institute had gathered, something he had done in his previous life.

This time life, it would only take him a few days to save those people from danger if he wanted to.

But he didn’t plan to save them at all.

He dragged it on and on, he hadn’t even given them a basic plan.

As he expected, the research institute started to panic.

Mu Chen didn’t guess it wrong, they actually panicked.

The woman who called to urge him to do the plan was the woman from not long ago. As soon as she opened her mouth, she sharply interrogated, “The research institute gave you two months and you still haven’t gotten it done? You don’t even have a basic plan and train of thoughts on it, why do we even need you?”

“...”

The man looked down indifferently and quietly waited for her to finish, he then replied with good intention while smiling, “Before you talk to me, I suggest Miss Sun go and visit your family grave.”

“After all, your mother was a dignified person before she passed away serenely.”

“You...” Sun Mo was attacked and she almost lost her mind after snapping back, “Mu Chen!! Who are you cursing at?”

“What? I’m your father.”

Mu Chen sneered and sounded even more nasty, “Miss Sun, how many mothers do you have to dare to talk to me like this? Three yuan for a key, would you like one?”

He lazily rested his chin on his hands and smiled lightly, “Visit your family more often if you have time. The way you spoke made me think that someone dug your family grave open.”

“...”

He successfully made her furious and he smiled from being happy. He looked up and couldn’t help but to glance at Ye Sang.

To be honest, he never lost to anyone in a verbal fight.

The only time he was speechless was that time he fought with a five-year-old child!

Could you even believe that?

...

Mu Chen spent almost three hours dealing with the plan. It was already one or two in the morning, he yawned and continued to look through the data slowly.

He subconsciously looked at the bed and saw that the little thing kicked her blanket off.

She was wearing a pink little dress and her arms and legs were exposed.

Mu Chen pursed his thin lips slightly and stared at her for a few seconds. He didn’t know what he was thinking but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to pull the blanket over her without expressions.

His action wasn’t gentle and the blanket wrapped the little girl up tightly.

Ye Sang pouted and unnatural redness filled her face. She shook her dizzy head. She felt a bit cooler after throwing the blanket off, but someone put it back again.

The little thing frowned slightly. She pouted from the heat and started to roll back and forth in bed.

She tried to break free from the blanket but it only wrapped her up even tighter.

Ye Sang felt horrible and her head was dizzy. Plus her body was heating up; she thought she was getting roasted.

Wuwuwu.

The little thing closed her eyes and pretended to be a puppy sticking its tongue out, but it was useless.

“Wu...”

Because she had never felt so sick before, Ye Sang hugged the pillow in her arms tightly and started to sob in her sleep.

“...” No matter how slow Mu Chen was, he realized that something was wrong.

The man hesitated for a moment and put his hand against the little thing’s forehead.

Her boiling temperature made the man’s expressions change.

“S***.” He cursed, not expecting the brat to have a fever in the middle of the night.

“Wake up, stop sleeping.”

He felt the temperature of a stove on her body, and a sense of panic and helplessness abruptly rose in his heart for the first time.

He pursed his lips and spoke in a slow voice, “Get up and take some medicine.”

There was quite a lot of medicine in Mu Chen’s study. The man quickly took out a pile of children’s medicine with a stone face.

This brat wasn’t smart to start with, what should he do if she wakes up to be an idiot after burning so much?

“Wu...”

The little thing was fidgeting in his arms from the heat. Her body was like a ball of fire, smelling like milk, “Not medicine...” Ye Sang clenched Mu Chen’s shirt subconsciously and widened her teary eyes slowly.

Children were afraid of medicine.

Ye Sang wasn’t an exception.

Mu Chen’s temples throbbed as he passed the bowl to her without expressions, “Drink it.”

The little thing shook her head, “No!”

“F****** drink it.” The man grinded his teeth as he was on the verge of exploding.

“No!!”

The two of them glared at each other, looking rather funny.

Mu Chen clenched his teeth: “....” Why is this kid so hard to serve?!

The little thing pouted and looked at the medicine in the bowl.

She remembered that her mommy would always tell her a bedtime story after she finished taking medicine, so Ye Sang’s eyes lightened up as she looked up and spoke softly,

“Sangsang will drink it, uncle, can you Sangsang a bedtime story?”

Ye Sang didn’t know if it was because she was sick or something else, but she wasn’t sleepy. She stared at Mu Chen with her beautiful cat eyes.

The little girl’s eyes were too clear and made Mu Chen look away unnaturally. He frowned slightly, still feeling like she was a burden.

Why does she want to listen to stories in the middle of the night?

The man breathed deeply and controlled the urge to hit her butt, “You’ll drink it if I tell you a story?”

The little thing nodded obediently, her clear eyes were full of expectations.

Mu Chen had no other choice but to find a random history book from his study.

The man picked up a thick book from the bookshelf and sat by the bed expressionlessly, then started to tell a “story” with his monotone.

“Once upon a time, there was a person called Zhou Yu...” He tried his best to make a historical story to sound like a fairy tale.

Mu Chen cleared his throat and continued seriously, “Then he died.”

Ye Sang: “...” S-So short.

It was the little thing’s first time hearing a story like this, she couldn’t help but ask, “And then?”

Mu Chen glanced at her unhappily.

What else does she want?

“Once upon a time, there was a person called Zhuge Liang,” Mu Chen replied happily, “He Zhou Yu died from fury, and then he died too.”

“Do you know what this story tells us?” The man looked at her gloomily.

“This story t-tells us...” Ye Sang hesitated and widened her eyes as she replied in a small voice, “Just be happy with everything...”

“No one should even think about leaving this world alive.”
