Chapter 172 - Be my girlfriend (1/2)

Sara was calm now. She enjoyed the warmth of Muchen's back hug. It was as if he shouldn't pull out at all.

”You like the ocean that much?”

Muchen asked since he noticed her eyes had been there for long.

She shook her head. ”I don't like the waters. But looking at it settles the mind” She answered.

”You don don't like the water or you don't know how to swim?” He asked mockingly.

”I don't just...like the waters. So I do not swim at all.”

”Bad experience?” He asked.

Sara nodded.

”Sorry” He simply said without asking further.

They both were quiet for a while before he said softly.

”I've been waiting for you to tell me about your meeting with my grandmother”

She giggled. ”I had no idea she told you about it. I really wanted to let it slide”

He turned her around so she would face him.

”I'm sorry for putting you through all of these. You must have been tensed.”

She smiled at him warmly and shook her head. ”I think.... I like you grandmother”

”Eh?” He looked at her in surprise and shock. Did he just hear her say she liked his grandmother?

Sara laughed when she saw his reaction.

”I don't believe she is an evil queen dowager. I'm sure she only wants the best for all of you. But maybe, she's just a bit over doing it.”

”Okay. That's one of the weirdest things I've heard you say” He said in amusement. ”What exactly did she say to you? I'm curious”

”It's not important Mr Li. Listen to me”

She moved a hand to feel his smooth handsome face. ”She looked really lonely and bored.”

He placed a hand on top of hers that was on his face and smiled at her. He liked the feel of her hand on his face. ”I'm not sure she is”

Sara cocked a brow at him. ”How did you manage to make Li corporation successful? You're pretty clueless”

”Wow Sara! That's the first time I'm hearing something like that. I'm CEO Li! Li Muchen!”

Sara laughed then dropped her hand that was on his face to hold his hand.

”When was the last time you all ever paid your grandmother a visit bearing gifts to know how she is faring?” Sara asked.

Muchen chuckled then shook his head. ”She's not been around and we've actually been busy”

”Still my question. Did you visit her or call her often just to know how she's doing?” Sara asked accusingly.

Muchen knew Sara was all business now. So he also turned serious ”I did call her once in a while but never visited”

”Once in a while. You mean...once a week?”

He grinned sheepishly ”Like once in two months” He admitted shamefully.

Sara couldn't help but gasp. ”What about her birthdays?”

Muchen used a hand to scratch the back of his head. ”She doesn't celebrate. I'm sure she doesn't like it” He answered.

”She's your grandmother! Was she supposed to throw herself a party when she has all of you? Did she even tell you she doesn't like birthday celebrations or you just assumed?”

”Come on Sara. Why are you doing this to me? I'm not the only one guilty of this. The entire family is” He pouted.
