Hello, Mr Li

Chapter 39

Li Muchen was in his study, inside his apartment when he heard a light knock on the door.

"Come in" He said.

Ms Long entered inside gently. She had called him earlier to inform him she was outside and he had asked her to come meet him in his study.

"Sit!" He ordered.

Ms Long nodded and Sat down opposite him.

"Any news from Song Changyu yet?" He went straight to the point and asked while still looking at his computer

"Yes! She has agreed to meet with us next weekend." Ms Long said.

"Next weekend? That"s too far" He said as he raised his head to look at her.

"Yes! I tried to cajole her into meeting with us during the week. But she warned that if I dare to force her against her wish, she would change her mind. Then, she ended the call" Ms Long reported.

"How difficult" Muchen muttered. "What about the Mo family? Any news?"

"Yes! I think Mo Dexi has been trying to contact her as well. But that"s all I know for now. As for Mo Jinyong, he locked himself out in his Villa outside of town and no one has heard any good thing about him since then." She reported.

"How useless!" Li Muchen shook his head. If everyone gave up so easily after one failure, then many renowned businesses would not have been what they were presently. This would have been a good opportunity for Mo Jinyong to make a comeback by trying to get in touch with Song Changyu before Mo Dexi but he was too stupid. He should really just go into the entertainment industry instead.

"Any other thing?" He asked.

"Nothing else for now"

"Good" He nodded then faced his computer again. "I need to know all I can about Sara"s father"

"Mr Jianjun w.a.n.g?" Ms Long asked in surprise. Why would he become suddenly interested in him.

"Does she have another father?" He asked sarcastically.

"Alright sir! I"ll do that"

He looked at his watch and stood up. I have to get busy now.

"Are you going out Mr Li?" Ms Long asked as she stood up also.

"Nah! I want to workout today. You should also do that sometime" He said.

Ms Long and Li Muchen both left the study. And just got down stairs when Miss Long suddenly stopped on her tracks.

"What is it?" Muchen asked.

"I think something got into my eyes" She said as she tried to avoid scratching her eyes so she wouldn"t ruin her make up.

"Come here!" He said as he bent to meet her height and helped her blow her eyes gently.

The door suddenly opened to reveal Sara. Li Muchen"s back was facing her so from her angle, It looked like they were both doing something else.

Ms Long was startled by her sudden entry. Li Muchen also turned around and saw Sara looking at the both of them.

"WOW! I didn"t know you were both dating" Sara said.

"No!" "We are not!" Ms Long and Li Muchen both refuted her claim simultaneously.

"Sorry for interrupting though. Good afternoon Mr Li. Ms Long" She greeted the both of them.

Li Muchen seemed to register what Sara was thinking. Did she think they had both been kissing?

He ignored Sara and spoke to Ms Long.

"Ms Long.." He stretched her name to show the distance between the both of them. "How is your eye now? Did it help after I helped blow your eye?" He asked.

Ms Long got the hint. She almost laughed but had to maintain her cool. "Thank you Mr Li. I actually feel better" She said whilst blinking.

"Blowing the eyes hardly do any significant good. it might lead to more irritation. Rather blink rapidly to help move the debris, and allow any tears that may form to clear it out. It"s even better to rinse the eye with a saline solution or clean water." Sara advised.

"Thank you Miss w.a.n.g. I"m aware. But I have an appointment to catch right now and I am trying not to ruin my make up" She said with a warm smile.

The entire Situation was funny to Sara. She knew they had both not been kissing from their entire stiff body positions but they thought she was thinking otherwise.

Well, they should think whatever they like she thought.

"Miss w.a.n.g? How did you suddenly get it?" Ms Long asked.

"Oh! Mr Li. told me the pa.s.sword for the apartment" she replied nonchalantly.

Ms Long"s eyes widened. Mr Li told her? She looked at Li Muchen who looked like the entire thing did not concern him.

This was his personal apartment and he was allowing her come in and go out as she liked?

Li Muchen looked down at her and gave a a look which read "Just let it slide already"

"What about Heya?" Sara asked.

"She is in her room upstairs. I"ll let her know you are here." Muchen said.

"Thank you Mr Li. You didn"t forget about our workout today right?" Sara asked.

Li Muchen lifted a hand to scratch his head as he spoke.

"Oh! I totally forgot. I"ll go change and join you both" He said I differently.

Ms Long had never been so shocked in her entire life... He totally forgot?

She raised her head to look at him. Wasn"t he the same person who told her he was working out today?

Li Muchen looked at her and could clearly read her thought. He winked at her as he moved upstairs.

How shameless!
