Hello, Mr Li

Chapter 180

Ms Long noticed that Muchen was stalling. What could he possibly not ask in the car while they drove to the office? But he wasn"t making any effort to get inside the car. 

"Ms Long has prepared everything. We"ll drop you by the bus station to catch a bus to work."

Minde still had a frown on his face. He couldn"t believe he was going there as an intern in the public relations department. An Intern! 

He sighed and only nodded. He knew this was only for a while. He had to do it quickly and move to the top like Hoy and Muchen. 

He imagined employees bowing at him while calling him Director Min. 

He chuckled at the thought, earning a glare from Muchen. 

Soon, the car Muchen had been waiting for arrived. A smile appeared on his face when it stopped and Sara came down.

He was glad she had stopped wearing those three-quater jean shorts since the weather was getting really colder as Christmas approached. She wore a long trousers and cardigan that fully covered her upper body. 

But...why was she looking sad? Muchen wondered as she approached them.

After the driver bowed and left, Sara greeted Ms Long, Minde—who forced out an insincere smile. Then, she looked at Muchen with dull eyes. After about five seconds, her lips curved into a very pretty smile.

"He"s so handsomely cool" She thought.

He was wearing a deep blue turtleneck sweater under a grey blazer, and pants. His oxford shoe, Rolex watch, smooth hair, and his perfect dimple as he smiled at her, got her heart racing fast.

She totally forgot about the little quarrel she had with the driver.

After the video ended, since she hadn"t used an earphone and only played it directly, he heard the whole thing and started badmouthing Changyu for being a bad daughter who abandoned her family.

Sara had tried to make him see that there must have been a reason for it. But he didn"t care about any of that. "Any child who does that is evil!" He firmly stated, making Sara angry at him for judging her when he hadn"t heard her side of the story. 

It had been her philosophy ever since she was young. She didn"t judge anyone until she heard the other side of the story. It started one time when she said some really mean things to her cla.s.smate in grade school, who she believed had actually stolen someone else"s pen. She later found out that the person was actually the victim and had been lied against. 

Sara cried for the whole day and apologized to the little boy she spoke against. Ever since then, she learned her lesson. "Of everything you hear, believe nothing. Of everything you see, believe half" and it had really helped her a lot.

Muchen tried not to chuckle. What was wrong with her? First, she was looking sad, now, she was giving him this "smitten-eyes look" in front of his bodyguards, secretary and cousin. Oh..and the maids that were also on their way out.

"Miss w.a.n.g" Ms Long called in an amused tone for the second time but Sara was still looking at him like he was the only one there. She was beginning to regret not accepting to be his girlfriend. What if he changed his mind later? 

"He is so pretty" She said to herself softly as her eyes twinkled.

Muchen tried to stop himself from blus.h.i.+ng in front of all these people. This girl was really planning to ruin him. "You realise you said that out right?" He asked Sara with a smile that revealed  his deep dimples.

Sara was knocked back to her senses when she heard the pretty man speak.

With her eyes wide open, she mouthed in embarra.s.sment. "You...heard.. that?" 

Muchen tried not to laugh at her embarra.s.sed look. He pulled her by the hand, told Ms Long to drop Minde at a bus station and informed her he would drive himself to work. Taking long strides, the entered inside his apartment.

"What was that about? Were you trying to seduce me in front of so many people?"

He asked as he pinned her soft body to the door with his hard body.

"Mis...ter Li.. What... are.. you..doing?" She asked in shock at the sudden proximity.

What was wrong with this man? People were just outside the door and she was sure his sister was inside the house.

Muchen chuckled. He liked that he was the only one who could see this side of her.

He didn"t want to tease her today. He had a busy day to attend to.

Besides, if he started, he knew it would pretty much backfire and these days, he was doing a very bad job controlling himself whenever she was around. 

When Sara was wondering what he was planning to do next, she heard him ask in a gentle but hoa.r.s.e voice.

"Why were you sad earlier?"

Sara"s racing heart even increased when she raised her head to meet his eyes. He took two steps backwards so she wouldn"t have to hurt her neck by looking up at him like that. 

"It"s nothing." She shook her head.

"It"s something. Who annoyed you?" He didn"t want her to avert any of his questions. 

"No one. I...it"s fine Mr Li. Really." She a.s.sured.

He gave her a look which she was able to interprete as "I"m not going to let you be if you don"t tell me" She sighed deeply before answering

"Fine. I only had a little argument with Mr Lee. He was saying some things I didn"t support. That"s all"

Muchen smiled in relief to hear it wasn"t really a serious issue. He ruffled her hair before saying "Sorry about that. I"ll fire him" 

"I never asked you to!" Sara fired back. "I won"t talk to you again if you do" She threatened.

Muchen chuckled before giving her a kiss on her cheek because she looked so cute when she threatened him. "Fine. I won"t do it.... Geez..you"re so harsh."

Sara blushed and smiled also. She could look at his face all day without getting satisfied.

She didn"t even want to talk about his body...

She pushed the naughty thought out of her head and asked "Why aren"t you going to the office?" 

"Yea. I wanted to tell you something." He led her by her hand to sit on the couch.

Sara concluded that he was a very touchy person. And... She liked it!

"Guess what?" He asked with twinkling eyes

"You no longer need meds for your stomach?" 

He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. Okay, it was his fault for asking her to guess and she actually took it literally. 

Sara gave him a "am I correct" look before he shook his head and answered.

"We are going to be organising a birthday party for my grandmother" He announced with a proud smile on his face.

"Wow! That"s great news" She said excitedly. She was really happy he took her words seriously. It mean he was still going to be her boyfriend!

Of course, he had to take it seriously, else she wouldn"t be his girlfriend.

"Her birthday is around the corner?"

"Fortunately and coincidentally, her birthday is in two weeks.." He paused before adding "And... I want you to be the MC"
