Chapter 202 - Playing hard to get (1/2)

”Dad please. I really didn't ask him to cook. I just went upstairs to change and saw him when I got back. I am innocent” She made sure to hide well behind Muchen so her father wouldn't see her but hear her voice only.

'This is why ladies should date someone taller.' She appreciated Muchen in her mind.

”It's true” Joreen's tiny voice spoke out. ”Big sis did nothing. Mr Li even asked her to go out of the kitchen” After she was done saying her part, she muched on a carrot like nothing else concerned her.

Bilike nodded in support of what Joreen said. He could not believe his father took off like that when he had been in support of Sara leaving the kitchen. 'What a shameless man' Bilike said in his mind.

”What are you doing? Go check what's on the fire. I'll take care of our guest” Cixi said to Jianjun.

”You really don't have to. I'll —”

She didn't allow Muchen to continue. She excitedly pulled him out of the kitchen. Totally exposing Sara to Jianjun. Muchen looked back at Sara and gave him a 'I tried to save you' look before his figure completely disappeared.

Bilike and Joreen left the kitchen also. Since Jianjun was here. He was sure going to take care of everything but they would have preferred the Almighty CEO Li to cook for them.

”D..ad.” Sara called pleadingly when it was just the both if them left in the kitchen.

He raised a hand and threatened to hit her arm but stopped midway and gave her a disapproving scowl.

”I can't believe you're my daughter” He walked last her to check what was on the fire.

”I really would have cooked it well. Where were you anyway and why do your face look like that?” Sara tried to get a better look of his face from the corner.

”Something came up” He said nonchalantly entirely focusing on what he was doing.

”Your eyes are swollen. Did you cry?” She asked in shock.

Jianjun chuckled at her question. ”Why would I cry? I was only sad because a friend of mine broke his arm so he couldn't use it. I felt bad for him and helped out a bit” He said referring to the little bird earlier.

”A friend?” Sara gave him a questioning look ”But you have no friends” She added

”Just go out already. As soon as we relocate to our new apartment, we'll start your cooking classes. I don't want you disgracing this family like you did today.” He said unhappily.

”But dad...do you know I can be a better chef than you if I put my mind to it? Stop thinking you're a boss. I can crush you down within a month” She narrowed her eyes and gave him a challenging look. With her ryes still on him, she gradually retreated with her back out of the kitchen.

Jianjun shook his head before a laugh escaped his lips. He wondered how his life would have been like if Sara wasn't in it.

He couldn't still believe that this crazy daughter of his would be someone's mother one day. He felt bad for his future grandkids.

When Sara entered the sitting room, she saw Just her aunt, Joreen and her Mr Li happily conversing together.

”Aunt stop stressing him. He's tired” Sara plumped down in between Cixi and Muchen on the couch.

”I asked him to stay for dinner and he doesn't mind” Cixi said excitedly. She still could not stomach the fact that this right here was CEO Li and he was sitting with her!

”He also said he'll come to my birthday party on New year's day” Joreen added happily.

”Oh...” Sara looked at Muchen and saw him looking intently at her like she was the only one present there. His look made her feel butterflies in her stomach that she no longer paid attention to what her aunt and Joreen was saying.

”Excuse me.” She said to him before pulling Cixi and Joreen along with her.

”What is it?” Cixi asked when they  entered the room.
