Hello, Mr Li
/ Hello, Mr Li Chapter 256 - Medusa
Sara kept wondering why her father had not returned yet. He had said he was only going out for a bit but it was already over two hours and he was still not back.
"He should also have some fun time alone. I mean, he has been busy all day" Muchen reasoned with her.
"I guess he is having fun somewhere right?" Sara asked hopefully when he still didn't answer the call after calling him twice.
She wanted to believe he had something he was doing and that was the reason why he was not taking her calls.
He wasn't the type to stay out for long without telling them where he was going to.
She wouldn't have been really bothered about it but her aunt's words earlier, when she had asked her to imagine losing her father, was probably making her think nonsense.
"You both never end your conversation?"
Muchen and Sara looked at Minde who approached their table with a complaint.
"You have a problem?" Muchen asked him.
"I want to speak with her."
Muchen could guess what Minde wanted to talk to her about so he said "You promised you weren't going to disturb her about it."
Sara raised a brow at the both of them. What were they talking about? Why did he want to speak with her? Since when did he ever offer to speak with her first?
"What is it?" Sara asked.
When Minde saw that Muchen was not going to give them privacy by leaving, he sat down opposite them.
"I've been wanting to ask..... Are you....really friends with Miss Song Changyu?"
Just as Muchen has thought, it was really it!
Sara thought maybe he was just curious as to why someone like her would be friends with Changyu but she answered anyway.. "Yes, why?"
Minde's eyes lit up.
He had tried to hide his excitement when he saw her yesterday. It was the first time he was really seeing her from up close and she was even prettier than he had imagined. And also prettier than the first time he saw her at the airport.
He hadn't wanted to embarrass himself and his family so he had been calm the entire evening. Muchen had also reminded him not to do anything because she was easily pissed.
Listening to Sara admit they were friends almost made his heart burst from overexcitement.
"How did you meet? Where did you meet? What about her phone number.. do you have it?" He threw a string of questions at her eagerly.
"What are you doing? I thought you promised to not bother her with it? Besides, weren't you sad about your team leader earlier?" Muchen asked in displeasure.
Sara looked at the both of them in confusion.
"What are you both talking about?" Her eyes moved between the two suspiciously.
"Ignore him." Muchen said.
Minde pursed his lips and looked at Muchen. "Did you have to mention Eva right now?"
"Eva? She is your team leader. You are supposed to address her properly." Muchen lectured.
Minde scoffed. 'Address her properly my foot!'
He was able to deduce that the only reason she wasn't paying him any attention was because she was interested in women. And even if she was, he was going to make her interested in men whether she liked it or not.
It was because she was interested in women, else, someone like her was an easy target for him. He wouldn't even have to waste time in trying to get her attention. She would willingly fall flat at his feet and ask for a date with him.
"You both can continue with your banter."
Sara stood up and left the table to go join Hoy, Heya and Joreen on the other table since she could not follow the cousins line of conversation.
Minde smiled contentedly when he saw her leave even though Muchen had tried to hold her back. Although he was not happy since he could not get enough information about Changyu from her. When he saw Muchen glaring at him, he stuck out his tongue to mock him.
"Have you told her about the marriage plans? When do you plan on getting married? You just be excited" He said with a happy smile on his face.
"I haven't told her yet. I feel it's not the right time for her"
"What do you mean not the right time for her? You are CEO Li!" Minde looked at him like he was crazy.
"She would probably die of happiness if she found out grandmother has accepted for you to marry her. Grandmother had even asked to meet her. What else are you waiting for?" He asked confusedly.
Muchen was quiet for a while before shaking his head.
"I don't think everything is going to be that easy."
"Why? You are having second thoughts because there are a lot of secrets about her past and her family's also? Or are you scared because grandmother might cancel the whole thing if she finds out about what happened to her grandparents?"
Muchen looked at her direction and saw her smiling happily with Hoy, Heya and Joreen.
"I don't care about any of that." He said with a smile when he saw her laugh and quickly moved from the topic.
"Do you know anything about Jin Cearo's mother?"
"Jin Cearo? Heya's Jin Cearo? No. Why?" Minde asked back.
Since he didn't know anything, Muchen didn't bother to ask further and shook his head instead.
Sara had asked him about her and said she had seen her today but felt she looked really familiar but she could not remember where they met.
He remembered his grandmother had also told him to make sure Heya stayed away from Cearo and (she had placed emphasis on) his mother.
The woman had never appeared in public and so, no one knew anything about her. They only knew she went by the name Jin Medusa.
The family she came from, what she looked like, no one knew.
"Should I check on it?" Minde asked.
"Yea. Let's see what you find."
"What do I get in return?" Minde asked with a wink.
"I won't kick you out of my apartment tomorrow"
"Thank you again for yesterday. It was wonderful. You were wonderful!" Hoy said to Sara.
She wondered the number of times she was going to keep hearing that. They have been thanking her since last night.
It was enough already!
"It's fine. I wouldn't have done that without your help anyway. I'll return the outfit tomorrow." Sara remembered to add.
"Don't be silly. It's yours."
As they both conversed together, Heya looked at Hoy suspiciously. She wondered whether it was true that Hoy had feelings for Sara but she couldn't actually place it because he was very unpredictable and unreadable.
"About G-GLOBAL's anniversary. Have you made up your mind about attending? You seem quite popular than most celebrities now"
Sara giggled before asking. "Is Mr Li going to attend?"
"Why do you keep calling him Mr Li? It's weird" Joreen looked up from Heya's phone to chip in for the first time.
"I have been wondering same. Can't you call him something nicer and more intimate?" Heya supported Joreen.
"Something intimate? She looked at them and then turned to look at where Muchen and Minde was sitting.
"Oh please. What about Hoy? They are cousins yet he calls him CEO Li. So why—"
"You are his girlfriend." Hoy cut in before she could finish.
"How is it any different?"
"Are you going to call him Mr Li when you both get married?" Heya asked.
"Married?" Sara looked at them in confusion. Why were they talking about marriage all of a sudden. Did she tell them she wanted to get married now?
