Capítulo 43: Third birthday

Sara simply ignored Muchen and continued speaking with Heya. She remembered the conversation she had with Muchen. Was that why he had been acting this way? Then it was her fault. She was the one who told him about them having a cordial relationship. She just didn't imagine that he would be overdoing it.

---

"You are doing a good job Heya. Keep your chest up, and don't let your knees go over your toes" Sara instructed as she helped Heya with her exercise.

Muchen just looked at her with a look that says 'you do not expect me to do this right?'

Sara almost laughed when she saw his look.

She tried imagining him squatting like this. It would be so hilarious!

"Mr Li, You could use the treadmill for now or anything else. I'll join Heya"

Muchen nodded slightly and moved to use the treadmill.

Li Muchen tried to entirely focus and not look at them; Sara especially. Thank God his back was facing them so he could only hear Sara's voice when she was instructing Heya since the music was not so loud.

The song changed to an old classical music.

When Muchen heard the song, he frowned. Who exercises with this kind of song? He didn't even know what the song was doing on his music player.

"Oh this song!" Sara exclaimed.

"You are a fan of classical music?" Heya asked as they both took a break and sat on the floor.

"Not really. But my dad is a fan. On my third birthday, when the song was newly released, he played this song the entire day. I got sick of it."

who plays this kind of songs during a birthday party? Muchen wondered. Besides it was the kind of song that aided relaxation.

"Third year birthday?" Heya asked as she seemed to consider something "You are 24 years old right? This song came out 22 years ago. So you should be 2years old then right? Why three?

Li Muchen was also done with exercising. He listened to the both of them talk but was not really interested. He had been wondering how the song got there in the first place, but looking at how Heya seemed to know much about the song. It was obvious it was her doing. He was not surprised. Heya always came over to the gym to 'exercise' so she might have gotten a hold of the music player.

Sara's eyes twitched a bit then she spoke. "Oh! I meant when I was two"

***

Heya just lied down on the floor and refused to get up after they were done. She felt like she had been beaten by numerous thugs as she couldn't even raise her body from the ground.

"I can't get up" She said. While trying to catch her breath.

Sara laughed as she assured her that she would help her massage her body. With the help of Muchen and Sara, Heya was able get to her room upstairs. It took a great deal for Heya to be able to shower. Sara stood outside her bathroom door, waiting to help Heya back to the bed. When Heya was done, Sara helped her massage her body for a while and by the time she was done, Heya was already fast asleep.

She gently walked out of the room. When she got downstairs, She saw Muchen sitting on the couch, flipping through a newspaper.

He was already changed and looked 'fresh'.

"You should freshen up also." He spoke without raising his head.

Sara looked at her wrist watch. It was already going to 8 in the evening. It was time to go to the restaurant since Joreen would be waiting for her. Besides, It was weird having her bath here.

"I'm good. I'll do that as soon as I get home. For now, I need to get to the restaurant. Joreen is waiting."

Muchen raised his head from the paper and glanced at her shortly before saying "Don't worry, I'll drop you off. For now, you should change what you are wearing"

Sara was still on her sportswear. Since she had been caring for Heya, she had totally ignored herself. No wonder the maids looked at her weirdly.

"Alright then" She nodded as she strode down to the gym.

.Muchen took his phone which was by his side and opened it to reveal a photo of Sara lifting weights.

He had secretly taken the picture earlier when she was not noticing.

He looked at the picture for a while and felt it was wrong keeping such a picture on his phone. If she finds out, she might see him as a pervert. Besides, he would not want any other person to see this picture at all.

After contemplating for a while, He tapped on the delete icon and deleted it.
