Chapter 150 - Devil (1/2)

Joreen giggled. Cixi could not understand what was going on. Mr Li. was Sara's employer, alright. So why was he suddenly showing up here and asking for permission to take her out. She looked at Sara who was pouting and glaring at Muchen and in turn, looked at Joreen to grab a hint but received a wink in return.

Jianjun was at a crossroad. Why did these young ones like to tempt him so much?

He looked at Sara and their eyes met. She gave him a 'you must agree look' before she looked back at Muchen who was still eagerly waiting for Jianjun's answer. Totally ignoring Sara's angry look for shunning her.

”She is still eating” was the only excuse Jianjun could find.

”No, I'm done” Sara countered. Cixi and Joreen nodded in agreement. Even Bilike joined.

Jianjun could only sigh.

”Oh My God! He called me Aunt” Cixi squealed and held Joreen's hand in excitement immediately Sara and Muchen walked out the door. Joreen happily jumped with her since CEO Li had promised to call her later.

”He is really CEO Li? He is so handsome and humble.”

Bilike nodded in agreement. ”And very generous also.” He remembered how he had footed his and his Father's hospital bill. ”They both look good together” He grinned.

”Oh my! How could Sara leave me out of this gist? Did you know about this?” Cixi asked Joreen.

”You should ask Dad” Joreen pointed at Jianjun who was already retreating to the bedroom. He already lost his appetite.

Cixi ran after him. Totally in gossip mode.

”Brother Jun, Are they dating? Really?”

When she entered the room, Jianjun looked to make sure no one else was around before he locked the door.

”I do not think they are— I don't even know” He sat on the bed dejectedly.

”What's with your mood? It's obvious they like each other. Shouldn't you be happy?” Cixi asked in confusion.

”Happy about what? Because he is CEO Li?” He tried his best to keep his voice down.

”That's a plus. Sara was just heartbroken and then she met someone like him who obviously likes her. So what are we saying?”

”Cixi. I really hate that this is putting a strain in I and Sara's relationship. I really want her to be happy. But I do not think this can work” Jianjun had it all bottled up. It was a good thing that he finally had someone to share his thoughts with.

”So that's what it was all about. I was going to ask why you both have been so quiet. And.. Why do you think it is not going to work?”

”You know how these things work. You really do not need me to spell it out right?”

”Brother Jun.” She called softly. ”Sara is a big girl. Since you want her to be happy, then you have to support her. I don't see why you are killing yourself over it.”

”I really can't. I just can't.” He stood up.

Cixi exhaled loudly. ”You have always spoiled her ever since she was a child. Do you think she is going to take it likely when you suddenly refuse her?”

Jianjun forced out a laugh. ”She promised to shave her hair and remain single if I object her”

Cixi could not help laughing. ”You see. And you know she is really going to do it.”

He nodded in agreement. Sara was that crazy. Nothing was difficult for her to do. ”She believes this whole thing is just for the moment. But I know Sara” Jianjun began to pace around the room. ”Once she enters, she would not want to come out. That is what I fear.”

Cixi looked at him quietly before saying. ”Or you are scared of history repeating itself?”

Jianjun stopped pacing and looked straight at her. ”That is another thing” He admitted.

”Brother Jun, History is history. Don't use your past to affect Sara's future.”
