Chapter 134 - An interesting story (1/2)

Sara sighed deeply. She was really going to do this. Her day so far had been terrible. Maybe because it started with her getting hit by Dana.

Muchen's eyes had been able to tell her how sorry he truly was and she didn't try to make things difficult for him either. ”I know” She said ”I know you're sorry. I am sorry too”

Muchen gave her a pitiful look and she really wanted to explain that she was really fine.

”It must have hurt a lot” He said then lifted a hand and placed it on the cheek Dana had slapped.

Sara's gut tightened and her breath automatically stopped. She totally forgot about anything else as she just stared right at him. He was staring back. ”I.. it.. it really doesn't hurt” She managed to say. 'Get a grip of yourself Sara'. She sucked in breath and spoke again.

”I'm really grateful madam Li has such delicate hands. But her energy is something else though” She added in sarcasm.

Muchen hadn't planned on laughing since he was being serious right now but Sara's comment made him laugh. Why did she always take things so lightly? He dropped his hand and informed her ”She goes by Mrs Li. My grandmother is Madam Li”

”Oh.. I see” When she noticed he was still giving her the pitiful look, she said ”I've always heard that mothers are overly protective compared to fathers. Judging from how I've seen most mothers behave, I guess it's a normal reaction from your mother. I'm really okay” She persuaded.

Muchen was surprised. He was reminded that Sara had no mother and hadn't known her either. He suddenly felt sad for her but decided to let the topic slide.

”How do you intend to settle this?” He turned all serious and asked.

Sara thought for a moment. She didn't have any plan. She had even told Muchen just last night that she wasn't interested in retaliating. But now...

”There are a lot of ways to settle it” She tried to convince him (and herself) that she had a plan which she didn't.

”I can do it for you. If I come out and talk, everyone will believe my word” He said.

Sara gave him a funny look before shaking her head. ”I really appreciate but I told your mother I was going to fix it. What would she think if you start helping me out? Besides, it would not be nice going all public because of me.... And for what you did to the Liu's earlier, I know I've been such a bi.... I mean, un-nice but I should thank you for that. I still dream about the look on their faces that day. And it's always such a nice dream” She let a little smile escape her lips before saying ”Thank you”

It was a nice diversion. Muchen knew she was trying to stop him from helping out with this case and what she said was true also. He couldn't help out else, his family would really come after her.

When he heard her simple ”Thank you” He got a fluttery feeling. ”I didn't hear that, what did you say again?”

”I said nothing” Sara said nonchalantly and turned her head to look at the other side of his house. She wasn't used to telling people thank you because she wasn't used to people helping her. So asking for her to repeat it was making her embarrassed.

Muchen smiled at her flushed face and pulled her into a hug. His hands were wrapped around her while his chin which rested on her head reminded him of how little she was before him. ”I heard it.” He said softly. ”Since it gives you nice dreams, I'll keep making you have nice dreams”

”They will all end up hating me” She said. Not making any attempt to pull out from the hug. It was as if she had every right to remain there, in his arms.
