Chapter 149 - You have his permission (2/2)

”A terrorist group took over a town in country V. It wasn't funny at all. Men, woman, children were all killed. And a lot were injured.”

Sara furrowed her brows. ”Country V is a developed country right? Didn't the government do anything about it?”

”They are trying I guess. But terrorists have a lot of leverage. These days, we can even say they are more powerful than the government.” Cixi took a mental trip and reminisced all that had happened. ”There was no way we could get in. We managed to find a small village close to the town and created a little hideout to save the escapees. Over there, no signal or anything. It was a really big challenge getting food even”

”Poor them. Are they safe now or still at the village?”

”The government took over from us and provided them with asylum.”

”It is really sad. See why everyone who is safe should always be thankful for their lives. I cannot imagine losing my family to war.”

”Yes, it's really heartbreaking.” Cixi inhaled deeply.

”How long are you going to be staying for?” Sara asked.

”Probably a month or thereabout.”

Sara's eyes brightened. ”Really? That's good news”

Cixi smiled back at her. ”Did you missme that much?

”Of course I do.”

'And I have a lot of questions for you' Sara thought. She was going to make use of Cixi's presense to the fullest.

That evening, things were a bit settled. Jianjun had done his best to prepare one of Joreen's best meal to celebrate her graduation regardless. It was a Filipino noodle; Pancit Palabok.

Bilike was home. Cixi's mood was better also. The only person who had a frown on, was Sara. She stabbed her fork on the plate and bit her lower lip angrily.

They all just looked at her. After asking her severally what was wrong, her answer remained the same. ”I am fine”

A gentle knock came on the door while they dined and Bilike volunteered to get it. They all curiously peered at the door since they wondered who was visiting by this time of the night. And to all of their shock, they saw Li Muchen behind Bilike as he approached them. Sara who had a mouth full of noodles almost choked. Her eyes were wide in surprise. ”Mr Li...” She stood up abruptly and forcefully swallowed everything. ”What... are you. doing here” She asked while she used a hand to smoothen her messy hair

”Mr Li?” Cixi also shot up after Joreen. ”You are...” She suddenly gasped as she looked on in disbelieve. Muchen only smiled back at her and bowed politely. ”You must be Aunt Cixi”

The thing that surprised Sara most was the fact that he was actually wearing a Polo shirt and Jean trousers.

Cixi had been surprised when she learned that Sara was working for CEO Li. But seeing him here all of a sudden was rather surprising. She tried her best to keep her cool and smiled politely at him. Joreen also greeted him.

”Mr Wang. I came to ask for permission to take Sara out” He saidd politely. He couldn't believe he was nervous right now.

”Yes. You have his permission” Sara said. Trying so hard not to sound excited. Maybe because she had waited for his call all day and suddenly seeing him here made her hyper.

He looked at her in amusement and mouthed ”You are not Mr Wang” before he turned to look at Jianjun.
