Chapter 151 - I realised something today (2/2)

”You...you thought of me.. when you.. saw this?” She shot him an angry look even as she bit down on her lower lip.

Muchen laughed out. He liked seeing this look. Maybe it was why he liked teasing her. ”Of course, when I saw it, I thought it was cute. And when I think of cute, I think of you”

Sara scoffed in disbelieve as she blew up at him. ”That is supposed to make me feel better? You are indirectly saying I look like an hippopotamus!”

Muchen still had an amused look on as he spoke back ”I never said you looked like an hippo but if you think you do, who am I to dispute that?”

”Li Muchen !”

He looked at her in surprise. It was actually the first time she called him by his name instead of her usual 'Mr Li'

”Call me that again” He said excitedly. ”I like the sound of that”

Sara suddenly recalled she had just called him by his name and gasped. ”Did...did I really...?”

He nodded. ”You're so cute when you're angry” He moved closer and pecked her on her cheek.

Sara was taken aback and just blinked back at him before she turned to look at her own side of the window. 'Did...did he just kiss my cheek?' She asked herself. She had totally not expected that. 'Don't smile you idiot.' She cautioned herself before turning to look at him again. She cleared her throat and was about to speak before she saw him open the door and asked her to come down also.

After she did, he moved over to where she was standing. He quietly looked at her for a moment before he said.

”I realised something today” He helped pull up her shirt collar to shield her from the cold.

”What is it?” She asked curiously.

His eyes twinkled as he looked down at her. It was her. This tiny creature that made his heart flutter. The billowing breeze made her hair flutter about while he carefully smoothened them over and over again.

”I love you” The words suddenly came out unexpectedly. He was prepared for whatever responsibility that those words came with.

Sara forgot to breathe that instant. She felt the tiny jolt in her stomach again. For a minute, she just looked at his face without saying or doing anything. 'He...he... loves me.' Instinctively, she tried to move away but he moved his hands from her shirt collar to her arms and held her firmly. ”Even if you run again, I won't let you go. So let's save that energy” He advised softly.

Sara's mouth was suddenly so dry. No matter how had she tried to say something, it wasn't coming out. Finally, she was able to say ”Why?” No matter how she thought about it, she still found it difficult to believe that he chose her.

Why? Maybe he had actually expected that question.

”Because you are Sara Wang. And because, I can't just help it” Sara swore she would have started smiling like an idiot if he had said one more word. She had to keep her cool no matter what.

”You are going to regret it” She warned.

”Let me be the judge of that Miss Wang.” He eloquently responded.

He saw the smile form on her face. But Sara was too shy? to let him see it. She moved closer and buried her face on his chest.

Muchen saw it as an opportunity to wrap his arms around her in a hug. He couldn't help smiling like an idiot. She had totally brightened his bad day.

”You're so cute when you are shy. I like it!” He said to her.
