Chapter 71 - I do like her (1/2)

*Pffft* Joreen spat out the water she was in the middle of swallowing.

”You... you are saying that Mis...Mister Li agreed to meet me?” Joreen asked stupefyingly.

”I wonder when this bad habit of yours is going to change” Jianjun said as he tried to clean his shirt.

They were in the middle of having breakfast on the Chu's dining table with Jianjun sitting directly opposite Joreen while Sara was sitting beside her.

”What exactly happened?” Jianjun asked.

”Well, Mr Li asked me to make whatever wish and he'll grant it. So I asked for that” She said with a smile.

”Wh... what? He really asked you to make any wish? Why?” Joreen asked what Jianjun was about to ask.

”He said he enjoyed the meal and it made him feel better so he wanted to reward me. That's practically all” She said with a shrug as he used her chopstick to pick vegetables and placed it in her mouth.

Jianjun laughed. He couldn't say his daughter was dumb. But she was sure naive. He remembered the conversation he had with Muchen last night when he saw him and Sara outside. He had asked Sara to go in then went on to ask if he was responsible for buying their house.

The look on Muchen's face gave him away when Jianjun asked him that question.

After thinking about the issue over again, he could only come to the conclusion that Li Muchen was actually responsible.

”No matter how hard i think about it, You are the only one I can think of that is responsible for the incident with the Liu's. Besides, You were outside my apartment the entire night” Jianjun had told him.

Muchen did not deny anything. He agreed to have been the one responsible and even said he did not regret his actions.

”I'm sorry Mr Wang, if you think I've crossed the line.” He apologised.

”You really did cross the line Mr Li. We can perfectly take of ourselves. We don't need anyone helping us in the background. Don't you know It'll make people look down on us more?”

”I really only wanted to help. Besides, Sara is my employee and...”

”You like Sara” Jianjun interrupted.

His statement startled Muchen. He knew he liked Sara to an extent. But hearing it from someone else was something entirely different. How did he know?

”Am I wrong?” Jianjun asked, giving him a challenging look.
