Chapter 264 - A warning (1/2)

”It was nice walking down those stairs and the first thing I saw was you” She heard Muchen's deep voice whisper to her.

Sara did not turn around to look at Muchen. Her sad eyes were still gazing at the Painting.

”You seem to suddenly like this painting today” He added jokingly after noticing she had been staring at it without saying a word to him.

Sara sighed before finally saying something.

”Have you ever...thought about selling this painting? It is worth millions of dollars right?”

Muchen placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her around to face him.

She looked at him and could see his brow was arched questioningly.

”Sell it? He shook his head. I intend for it to remain in the Li family for as long as life exists.”

She avoided looking at him and turned her attention to look at the door that just opened.

”Oh... Sorry for intruding. The bikes are outside. I will just wait for you outside you can carry on with what you were both doing.” Heya said to the both of them with a smile on her face before turning to go outside.

”Are you okay?” Muchen asked Sara.

He noticed something was off with her but he could not exactly place it.

”I am fine. I just feel a bit sick” She answered in a low voice.

”Then you should not bother to go biking with Heya. I can do it for you. Just rest here. I'll go with her”

”No... I have to. I will see you when I return.”

She turned to go but he pulled her back and searched her eyes with his.

”If something is bothering you, talk to me. You trust me right?”

She faked a smile and nodded slowly.

Of course, she did trust him. She just did not know the depth yet.

When he saw her smile and nod, he smiled also. ”I will ride with you both outside the gate and when I am sure you are really okay, I will come back home. Got it?”

He did not wait for her to oppose or accept the idea before he moved outside to go get his own bike.

While riding outside, his gaze was fixed on Sara. She was not her usual cheerful self who always looked at him with starstruck eyes and smiled brightly whenever she saw him. He could not help wondering what exactly was wrong with her.

Immediately they rode outside the gate, they saw a black car coming out from the next villa. The car slowed down when it got to where the three people were slowly biking.

When they saw the car stop, they also stopped to see who it was.

And to Sara's shock, the one who came down from the car was none other than Snake!

She swallowed hard and looked at him with wide eyes, wondering what the hell he was doing there. Fuji had given her three days. So why was he here in front of her and Muchen!?

Was he here to meet her? Or was he here to tell Muchen something about her?

Different questions ran through her mind when she saw him walking towards them.

She looked around nervously and began to think of what to do but then, she noticed he was not looking at her but at Muchen instead.

”CEO Li.” He greeted with a 'pleasant' smile as he approached him.

Sara wondered what those people were up to now. And she was sure whatever it was, it was not something good.

When she noticed he was gradually getting closer to where Muchen was standing, she quickly got down from her bike, left it on the ground and swiftly moved to stand in between Muchen and Snake who was about offering his hand in a handshake.

Heya and Muchen looked at her in confusion and the same question was in their minds; What was she doing right now?

Sara stared fiercely at Snake who stared right back at her.

She did not trust him one bit. Maybe she did at one point in her life. But now, she was smart enough to know that every member of the gang were willing to die for Fuji.

He could have been sent here to poison Muchen somehow so they could use his life to threaten her. Using poison was another of his speciality. And she did not want to risk it.

”She probably is your girlfriend. Is she jealous that someone else is trying to touch her man?”
