Muchen still found it difficult to believe. Sara was going to give him the honour of being his girlfriend if he treats his grandmother well? He scoffed in disbelieve.
He looked at Sara as he drove down to her place. She had a smile on, acting like she did nothing wrong.
Seeing her smile, he smiled also. He remembered her words again about her not liking to share. "I don"t want to be shared either" He said to himself excitedly.
What more did he want? She liked him. No! She loved him. She was finally going to accept being his girlfriend. No matter what, he had to do what she had said before that crazy demon possessed her again and make her change her mind.
He thought it would be better if the entire family were involved in this mission. That would even be more points for him.
He pulled beside her house. It was already late and the entire place was getting dark already.
"We"re here" He announced sadly. He really didn"t like separating from her. Why can"t she just stay with him every time? He sighed.
"What"s wrong? Are you okay?" She asked in worry.
"I"ll miss you. Tomorrow is too far" He whined like a child whose mother was traveling without him.
Sara smiled widely before moving closer to hug him. It was kind of unconformable since they were both sitting in the car, but they both didn"t mind.
"I"ll miss you too Mr Li." She admitted.
He gently pulled her from the hug and looked her in the eyes. "You really mean it?" He was still somehow insecure and unsure of her feelings. Hearing her say the words to him still felt surreal.
Her eyes twinkled when she nodded.
He smiled widely at her and pulled her into the hug again.
"Thank you Sara. I don"t know... I just..." He couldn"t find the right words to use so he tried again. "I know a lot of people think since I am CEO Li Muchen, then I am so difficult and have everything I want. But they"ve been a lot of things I"ve actually wanted in my life but couldn"t get. You have no idea how happy I am to be able to have you beside me. You"re just so....well, you"re crazy most times. But I love you" He laughed.
Sara was touched by his words. Hearing him call her crazy made her laugh a also. Hearing the words "I love you" brought her so much joy.
Did she say this was going to be temporary? That she only wanted to be with him for a while before letting him be?
What was she thinking saying those crazy things? She was never going to let him be!
Even if ten Li Suns tried to stop her, she was never going to let him be.
Now she understood better. Why her father said she never actually loved Jinyong.
She tried to imagine the event that day. But this time, Muchen was the one getting engaged to Weiyoung. Was she just going to tell them they deserved each other and walk about peacefully like that?
She knew deep down that she was never going to do that.
She didn"t know when she fell in love with him or when her possessive nature came in. But, she knew one thing, Li Muchen belonged to her and only her.
"Mr Li...Thank you." She said softly.
"Why are you thanking me?" He asked without pulling out from the hug, savouring her scent that he was now getting used to.
"For everything. For cunningly making me meet you. For making me love you. And for loving a girl like me" She said. "I love you Mr Li. And... I really mean it" She confessed.
Their little "love hour" was cut short when Muchen received a call from Heya that Minde had "relocated" to his house.
Even when the "bad luck" was far from him, things didn"t go smoothly and now he was coming to stay in his house?
After making sure the love of his life entered the house, he drove home straight.
When Sara entered the house, she wasn"t surprised to be intercepted by Joreen and Bilike. She was already used to this.
"That was Mr Li just now right? Are you two really dating?" Joreen asked.
Sara looked at the both of them. Bilike also had a curious expression as he looked expectantly at her. She chuckled and pushed past them. "Where is dad and Aunt?"
She asked when she didn"t see any of them in sight.
"Mum has gone back to the hotel. Dad is inside the room." Joreen answered.
"My father said I should let you know that whenever you"re less busy, he would like to talk to you" Bilike said.
"Really?" Sara wondered what Mr Chu was likely going to tell her. "Alright. I"ll just go say h.e.l.lo to dad and meet him"
When she was about entering the room, Bilike stopped her again. "But Sis, are you dating the CEO? For real?"
"Something like that" She answered with a smile before knocking to let Jianjun know she was about entering the room.
"Oh. You"re here?" Jianjun asked as he instantly shut a little box and stood up from the ground he had been sitting. "Where have you been?" He asked since he didn"t see her after he returned from the Hospital and no one knew where she had gone to.
"I was out with Mr Li" She answered as she curiously looked at the little box on the ground. She wondered what he had been so engrossed in that he hadn"t noticed she was already at home since he would have heard her talking with Bilike and Joreen.
Jianjun followed her gaze and quickly lifted the box. He had guessed she was with him that was why he hadn"t bothered to call her.
"How is she?" Sara asked. "I mean, Song Changyu."
Jianjun avoided her gaze and nonchalantly replied "The woman is okay."
"Why did she come here? I thought you said you didn"t know her?" Sara continued to ask.
"I don"t know why she came here either. Let"s just drop the issue." He put and end to the conversation and tried to walk out.
"She was your partner!"
Sara"s words stopped him from opening the door. "She was grandmother"s apprentice just like you. Why are you hiding it? Was they more to it? Did she do something unforgivable?" She threw a string of questions at him. When she noticed he was not going to answer, she smiled and said
"You can ignore it then. There is nothing I cannot find out"
Jianjun turned to face her. "I let you date Mr Li. In return, you should forget about all of these" He demanded.
"Even if you didn"t accept, I was still going to date him. He is not a bargaining chip. This is totally different. It..hurts me that you always hide things from me but it"s fine. I"ll get my answers on my own" She retorted.
Jianjun"s words paused when Sara"s phone began to ring.
She wondered who the intruder was. She looked at the unfamiliar string of numbers and sighed. What was it with strange numbers calling her everyday?
"Who is this?" She asked in annoyance when she took the call.
"Sara w.a.n.g?" The deep voice asked.
"Who is this?" She asked again without bothering to answer.
"The alley close to your place, meet me there in three minutes. Else, we"ll just have to pay you all a visit. I"m sure everyone"s at home now." He said before hanging up abruptly.
Sara"s gaze narrowed but she kept her composure. She didn"t want Jianjun to know something was up.
"I"ll be back" She said.
"Who was that?" Jianjun asked in worry. He wondered if it was someone from Muchen"s family again.
"It was for a product I ordered. I have to go accept it." She lied smoothly before leaving the house.
