After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Having Five Sons-in-Law and Only One Son

Lu Sheng had a deep and heavy sleep last night, and Li Muchen, in order to take care of her, absolutely did not sleep all night, only closing his eyes when dawn broke.

So when Lu Sheng woke up past ten in the morning, the man beside her was still deeply asleep.

His bare upper body revealed smooth and powerful lines of the neck and shoulders, while his deep black hair was a bit disheveled, with several strands obscuring his handsome brows and eyes.

He looked a bit less sharp and a bit more gentle than usual. His eyelashes trembled gently with his breath, so appealing it was heart-stirring.

Lu Sheng watched Li Muchen for a long time, lifting her hand to brush those strands of hair behind his ear, then kissing his cheek and neck a few times before getting up from the bed.

As she got up, she tried to feel the temperature of her own forehead.

Her forehead was no longer hot; it seemed the fever had subsided. However, her throat was still severely dry, and her nose felt somewhat stuffy.

The fainting and fever last night were truly strange. The first time she came to, Lu Sheng had tried to use her Soul Power to reduce the fever.

However, it had no effect whatsoever, and her feverish temperature was brought down entirely by intravenous fluids.

Of course, this might also be because her Soul Power had weakened.

Someone like Li Muchen, a human with a deadly destiny, is exceedingly rare. When a Demon comes to the Human Realm, there are generally only two sources to replenish Soul Power.

Either do evil to humans, drawing Soul Power from people’s agony, or draw Soul Power from people’s admiration and love.

Lu Sheng had always chosen the latter, but during these two months of resting at home, she had hardly ever gone out.

Previously, after saving Xiao Yan with the whole network broadcasting her face-slapping Lu Qianrou, revealing her identity and winning first place in the piano competition, and also during Old Mr. Fu’s birthday banquet where she bested the Boxing King, Lu Sheng had made her way into the hot search, gaining admiration and affection from many, which at that time caused her Soul Power to surge.

But the pace at which internet information is updated is too fast, with new revelations emerging every few days and past hot topics, no matter how much attention they drew at the time, gradually fading from people’s memories.

Moreover, Lu Sheng did not take any measures to maintain popularity, like opening a Weibo or Douyin for marketing stunts.

So it’s no surprise that even before a month had passed, many who had jumped on the bandwagon to express their admiration and like for her online had already forgotten who she was.

The weakening of her Soul Power was thus a natural consequence.

After a quick wash in the bathroom, Lu Sheng slipped on her slippers and went downstairs.

The Li Family’s residence was quite spacious and somewhat complex, but Lu Sheng had been here several times before and was already familiar with the place.

She walked to the dining room intending to pour herself a glass of water, but as soon as she arrived and looked up, she saw Jiang Ting busy with something by the kitchen counter.

"...Mom, what are you doing?"

Changing the way she addressed her was essentially breaking through a psychological barrier.

After calling Jiang Ting "mom" last night, Lu Sheng’s calling her that now came naturally.

But as soon as she spoke, her already dry and coarse throat, together with her congested nose, made her voice sound extremely hoarse.

Jiang Ting had already turned around when she heard the noise, but upon hearing Lu Sheng’s voice and seeing her dressed only in a slip dress, she reacted as if facing a great emergency.

"My dear, why did you come down just wearing a slip dress!" Jiang Ting immediately put down what she was doing and hurried over.

"It’s January now, even if the heating at the Li Family is more than adequate, you can’t just wear a dress like this, especially since you were running a high fever last night."
