"I ate. The cooks here are really wonderful" Sara praised.
"You said your father owns a restaurant right? Do you think he is a better cook than them? The cooks here are professional chefs. What do you think?" Heya asked with a teasing grin.
Li Muchen just quietly sat there, he didn't bother to interfere in the girls conversation.
"Well, I really do commend them for being good. But I would have praised them more if they weren't below my father's culinary skills" Sara winked at her after speaking.
"You are not taking sides right now, are you?" Heya asked curiously.
Sara wasn't one to take sides. If the chefs were better than her father, then she would not mind taking their sides also. But Jianjun Wang was a great chef. Although he only had a small restaurant, he was actually comfortable with it and had refused to expand for reasons best known to him.
Jianjun Wang did not like talking about his past. She knew practically nothing about her mother. But she had been able to gather a few information about her grandparents.
Her father's parents had ran a 5-star restaurant in the country. His father had even been the President's special chef then, and that was how he had met his wife, Jianjun Wang's mother, who was also a chef in the President's house.
After they both fell in love and got married, the President supported them greatly and they were finally able to get their top class restaurant.
Something led to another, and during the period she was born, her grandfather died and his wife followed a few months later.
How they died, he didn't mention and had refused to talk about it.
"I'll take you there one of these days. He'll prepare you a really nice meal then you can be the judge" Sara answered proudly.
Li Muchen who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly spoke.
"Why don't we go today? I'm famished."
"Today?" Sara was rather surprised when she heard him. Why would he suddenly want to eat at her Father's?
"Yes, today" he responded with a small nod.
Sara was quiet for a minute before speaking..
"Then, the three of us can go together"
"Me?" Heya asked quizzically.
Although, Sara had been able to help her a bit with the 'self perception lecture', she knew it would still take time for Heya to adapt and that Heya was still not very certain in that aspect since she hated the outside world!
"Let's go together. He'll make you both a really nice meal and you can also get to meet Joreen there"
Throughout that day, Heya and Sara didn't do much workout. And after about twenty minutes of strolling around, they both sat down and talked the whole day.
Sara looked at her watch. It was almost seven in the evening. She had promised to meet Joreen at the restaurant by seven at most, so they would both go home together. It was already time to go!
Besides, she did not want to let this opportunity slip by since Joreen would get to meet her 'idol'
"So what do you say?" She asked Heya. She really wanted Heya to tag along. If not for anything else, but the fact that she didn't want to hang out with her weird older brother whose mood wasn't stable.
"I... I do not know..." Heya stammered.
"Heya, let's go together alright? You have me here. You also have Sara."
'Sara?' She asked herself. 'When did he start addressing me that way?' She let it slide though and just continued trying to convince Heya to go with them. It would really be awkward going alone with him and she was not always comfortable around him.
She had to like him for work sake but, she couldn't just force herself to do so now.
Besides, she now had this prejudice against these young rich billionaires after meeting the likes of Mo Jinyong, Li Minde, and even Mo Jinyong's uncle who was also a psycho like his nephew.
After much hesitation, Heya finally agreed. She had to do this!
*************
The car finally stopped outside the restaurant. Throughout the entire ride, Sara just sat there quietly at the front seat with a lot on her mind while Muchen who was driving, kept conversing with Heya to make her feel less nervous.
Li Muchen stole a glance at Sara and wondered why she was unnecessarily quiet. He was really curious about her. He really had a lot to ask her, But he just didn't know how to go about it.
For example, when he was going through the document he had received from Ms Long about Sara's personal life, he noticed that although, her father was not really rich, he had sent her to a prestigious high school. It was the same school Liu Weiyoing attended. Also, At a certain time during highschool, she suddenly disappeared for more than a year, which had left her father quite miserable. He had even closed his restaurant for more than a whole year.
He noticed that most things about her changed entirely. Even her grades went up when she returned from wherever she went to. She had always been playful and always had low grades, but after returning, she topped her class till she graduated. And became rather introverted.
He knew that she had a aunt and cousin who stayed with her, but he had no information about her mother.
He was certainly curious about her, and in other to know her more, he had to start by learning about her father, Jianjun Wang.
As soon as they got down from the car, Sara noticed someone lurking nearby.
It was none other than Liu Weiyoung!
Hello,.
Sorry I haven't been consistent.
But even if I'm so busy, I'll still try to leave a chapter.
And about the Mass release, I'll work on that. :-D
And if you Haven't written a review yet, please do so..
Have a nice time!
Li Heya stood quietly beside the car's back door. After summoning all of her courage to come out, she still found it difficult to go in there. What if people laughed at her or looked at her weirdly?
She hated those looks the most. It was as if they were telling her that she did not belong in this world.
Li Muchen noticed her unease. Of course, he could tell at first glance, what his sister was thinking about.
He held her hand and encouraged her softly,
"Li Heya, remember, no one can dare bully you."
"I know, they won't dare bully me when you are here. But you won't always be here with me so what happens when you are not around?" She asked sadly.
"You have Sara. She won't let anyone do so. Believe me!" He assured her softly.
'Sara' again? But Heya let it slide.
"It's not like she could possibly do anything to them, she is just a fragile girl" Heya countered.
Li Muchen did not know when he laughed out.
'Fragile girl'? He wondered.
Anyways, merely looking at Sara, one could easily assume such. She looked so small and innocent and that was actually why he had been intrigued that day. He wondered whether it was this little girl that had actually beat up both hefty looking bodyguards.
"Why are you laughing?" Heya asked curiously.
He stopped laughing and place a hand on her shoulder as he spoke.
"Look, whenever you are alone with Sara, just say a silent prayer to ask God not to send anyone to bully you."
"Yea, I do pray for that always" She said.
"But this time, the prayer would not be for you.... But for them instead"
He turned to look at where Sara had been standing. She had taken a few steps away from the car to let the both of them speak. He knew that Heya was still not too familiar with Sara and the best motivation Heya could get now, should come from the one who she trusted the most— her brother.
They both saw Sara staring into the distance and wondered what she was looking at so intently.
The street lights and lights from the stores around, enabled them to see that she was looking at a person who was staring right back at her.
Although, Heya didn't know who the person was, Muchen knew quite well, since he had been at the engagement party and that was where he actually saw her for the very first time. He had no idea she had been in a relationship with Minde, neither did he meet her any day. He was only able to connect the dots, the moment he saw Sara approach them.
Sara turned to face Li Muchen and Heya.
"Let's go in" She said as she walked to where they both stood and took Heya's hand gently.
Li Muchen looked at Sara who was standing beside him. He liked it whenever she was this close to him because he was always towering above her. He had the urge to laugh when he realized he could see the centre of her head.
That was when he also realized that Sara and Heya where about the same height.
"Do you know her?" Heya asked when she turned to see Weiyoung who was walking towards their direction.
Sara nodded. "I know her, but she is not important"
Since Weiyoung was close by, she clearly heard what Sara had said and stopped in her track.
She felt deeply humiliated. She was not important?
Throughout the previous week, she had not been thinking straight. Since she heard about Mo Dexi and Li Muchen being interested in Sara, she had been feeling uneasy. She really wanted to be sure that Mo Jinyong was over thinking things and no man in his right senses would date a girl like Sara. After receiving an information that a car usually picked Sara up from her house in the morning and dropped her off at the restaurant every noon, she had wanted to see for herself, to know who the person actually was.
So she freshened up and came here since noon. But unfortunately, Sara didn't show up. She had waited the entire noon and was just about to leave when she suddenly saw Sara.
When she also saw Li Muchen behind her, she was startled and was about turning back to leave immediately, but Li Muchen turned to also face her and their eyes met.
Now, she had no choice but to meet with them and she had decided to do just that.
But Sara had to embarrass her and call her unimportant?
Heya looked at Weiyoung one more time before nodding. She was following Sara inside the restaurant with Muchen behind them when Weiyoung suddenly spoke.
"CEO Li?"
They all stopped on their tracks. What was she trying to do this time? Sara wondered to herself.
They turned to look at her direction and she finally walked up to where they were standing.
Sorry guys, the network service has been very poor that's why this is coming late..
