He was lost in thought. He had no idea how long his phone had been ringing even as he drove down the streets of City B to his house. He hadn't planned on leaving like that. He had walked to the door. Stood there, tried to knock. Then he heard sobs. It was Sara. She was crying. He didn't know why but he felt he was a part of it. It was driving him crazy as he had no clue what he had done wrong.

This time, he heard his phone ring and took it. It was a call from Ms Long.

After leaving delight, she had gone straight to meet her father to let him know she was done going to any such dates again. She also called her mother to inform her that if they tried sending her to another, she was going to completely cut ties with them.

Muchen had been mad at Ms Long earlier (the case between her and Sara). But after she called him this evening, he felt she was finally doing the right thing and decided to give her another chance.

"I have sent it to her. A six months advanced salary."

"How's it going with your investigation on Mr w.a.n.g's background?" He asked.

"I haven't been able to uncover much. But with a little more time, I may be able to do so"

Muchen took a deep breath before speaking again. "Stop the investigation". He felt like he was encroaching. If Jianjun wanted people to know about his past, he wouldn't have taken great measures to conceal it. Although he was curious, he knew that Jianjun's past was a step forward in learning more about Sara. But he was willing to wait. He was going to wait.

Ms Long didn't know what Muchen was up to, or what he was thinking. She accepted and reminded him. "The meeting with Miss Song is this Sat.u.r.day. On Sunday evening is Elder Mo's birthday. The invite has been sent."

Muchen was tired of hearing about the Mo's. Just today he heard Sara left with Dexi. When he realised she was not with him when he went to pick her up. He had been so relieved. He could tell that Sara wasn't even willing to give him a chance at all and that greatly delighted him.

For Mo Dachuan's birthday, he knew he had to be there. He remembered promising Sara that he was going to meet with Joreen this Sunday also. "Alright. Take the weekend off."

"Excuse me?" Ms Long thought she didn't hear him correctly.

Muchen had promised Dr Long that he would also give her the weekend off. He had to fulfil that promise at least. "You should rest. You've been working hard"

"I'm.. not complaining, Mr Li" She knew he was not going to change his mind. Once he put his mind to something, that was it. "Alright. Thank you"

As his car arrived at his apartment, he dialed the number whose call he had missed earlier.

"Mr Li. while you were by the roadside this evening, you were being watched. After checking the car's plate number, we figured it belonged to the Mo family's young master, Mo Dexi." A masculine voice spoke.

This Dexi was becoming a thorn on his flesh. So he had even been watching them earlier? If he had known, he wouldn't have left just like that without feeding his eyes more.

He was impressed by his underlings. He had left his office in a hurry, he had no idea they had followed him discreetly. He was not bothered about Dexi taking pictures of him and Sara. He was quite sure that Dexi was interested in her. Besides, he wouldn't want to get in the Li family's bad side.

Sara's head was resting on Jianjun's thighs as usual. But today, she wasn't saying anything. She was done sobbing, or maybe she had to stop.

"Big sis, why aren't you saying anything? Who hurt you?" Seeing the cut on Sara's lips, Joreen had imagined the worse. She had even joined Sara in crying when she refused to stop.

"Sara, talk to us. If you got into trouble, I'll handle it" Jianjun coaxed.

She shook her head. "It's fine. It was just a little accident" She finally answered them. She had to anyway. "I'm sorry for making you both worry. It was never my intention to do so"

"What do you mean? You can tell us anything sis"

Sara raised her head and sat on the couch in between the both of them. "I really don't know what to say. I don't know how I feel. I can't think straight right now either. Once I can understand, I'll speak up" She said and took the bag of food that had been placed on the table. "It's for you. Heya's gift"

Jianjun know he couldn't convince her to speak up anymore. So he didn't force it and respected her wishes.

When Joreen opened it and caught the pleasant sight and aroma of the Stir fried tofu with rice, her eyes twinkled. Jianjun could make it for her but not everyday. "Really? That's nice. Give me your phone let me give her a call"

Joreen and Jianjun looked at Joreen who was saying her 'thanks' to Heya like she claimed.

Joreen laughed out "Really? You've gotten to episode 6? I'm still behind. I'll catch up with you tonight. I'm currently in episode 3.."

Their conversation went on for a long time. They talked about how the female lead was too stupid and gullible, how handsome the male lead looked, how super cool the second male lead was and how they hated the second lead syndrome that was gradually approaching.

When she remembered she had family members, she finally said her thanks and ended the call. "I love Li Heya" She said with a grin.
