Hello, Mr Li Chapter 26
Advertisement
"This is for you" Li Muchen said as he handed Heya one of the shopping bags he had placed on the floor.
Heya, who was sitting beside him on the couch received it with both hands and looked inside curiously.
Heya shot him a curious glance when she pulled out a black chanel evening gown from the bag.
"This is for me?" She asked quizzically.
The size was a lot smaller than what she usually wore. It would probably fit someone like Sara and not her.
"I believe you can do this Heya" He said softly.
".. And once you've succeeded, I want this to be the first outfit you wear to any occasion. "
Heya's lips curved upwards slightly. She had actually imagined herself dressed in such a nice outfit several times, but had already resigned to her fate that she would never wear a dress like this since it was actually a body fitted knee-length gown.
"Do you believe in me that much?" She asked hopefully.
"Of course! I believe you can do anything you set your mind on doing. You are Li Heya. My little princess." He said with a warm smile.
After admiring the gown for a while, she neatly folded it back and placed it inside the shopping bag she had picked it from.
"Then, I would be wearing this gown on my birthday!" She said resolutely with a big grin.
Muchen smiled when he saw her determination. He had no idea about the pep talk she had received from Sara earlier that day, but he was happy to see her this determined.
He really wished his sister would do this and finally actualize her dream of attending Julliard school of Music."
"Why is Sara still here?" He suddenly changed the topic to ask.
"Sara?..Why are you addressing her that way?" Heya cocked a suspicious brow at him.
When he heard her question, he realized what he had done. He couldn't even remember the last time he addressed her as Miss Wang or Miss Sara. He felt it was too distant, just the way he hated it whenever she called him Mr Li.

"Miss Wang" He corrected.
"She was waiting for you" Heya continued, not finding anything suspicious.
"For me?" He was pleasantly surprised when he heard her.
Heya did not seem to get what was up with him as she just nodded and continued,
"She wanted to speak with you....." Heya suddenly remembered that Minde and Sara were both stil outside.
"I'll go call her." As soon as Heya stood up, the door opened to reveal Sara.
"I was just about to fetch you for my bro here. Come sit!" Heya said to her as she gestured at the seat opposite Muchen.
"Mr Li would not mind?" She asked as she moved closer to the couch.
Since he just returned, she expected him to at least rest a bit before they both spoke. Thankfully, she had already informed them at home that she would be returning pretty late so it would not hurt to stay a little longer.
Li Muchen shook his head and replied "You can have your seat."
Sara nodded and moved to the couch opposite him and sat down carefully.
"Where is Bro Minde?" Heya remembered to ask.
"Oh! He said he had something to do so he hurried off" Sara replied with an innocent smile.
Li Muchen almost laughed when he heard her. But as usual, he had to maintain his composure and just nod.
"He should have told me first." Heya said sadly.
"I'll go upstairs then. Call me if you need me"
After speaking, she took the flight of stairs and disappeared from their sight.
"You were waiting for me?" He asked Sara.
"Yes" She nodded as she spoke then continued,
"It's about Heya"
Li Muchen was slightly disappointed when he heard her. What was he even thinking or expecting?
He just nodded as a sign for her to continue so she took out a file from her backpack and handed it over to him.
"It contains a list of everything she should do and also stay away from."
Li Muchen took the file from her and looked through it.

"From the information I got from you, it proved she is medically sound so I believe if she follows this up accordingly, in just a matter of time, everything would turn out well." She said.
Li Muchen smiled when he saw the list. Heya was not supposed to do pretty much everything that she liked doing, and was supposed to do the things she dreaded the most. This was going to be really challenging. He thought.
When Sara saw his smile, She couldn't help admiring it. He was still looking through the file, so his head was down and he did not notice her gaze.
That was the first time she noticed he actually had really nice dimples.
'He looks good when he smiles'. She thought to herself.
Li Muchen raised his head to ask her a question. But before he could say anything, he met her gaze.
He was actually startled to see her fixated gaze at him but he did not pull his gaze away and just stared right back.
The questions he had wanted to ask seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Sara on the other hand, was taken aback. She did not understand what actually just happened. The only thing her brain could process was that they were both staring at each other right now.
She suddenly cleared her throat and moved her eyes from his to look at the file in his hands and asked.
"Are you done with it Mr Li?"
Li Muchen nodded at her and placed it by his side.
"So practically, I have to clear my entire fridge and kitchen I guess"
"Yes! It is also important to ensure that she doesn't eat anything else after dinner. I believe she is determined to do this but she also needs your assistance and cooperation to overcome every form of temptation" She said.
"Sure, I'll give my full cooperation." He agreed almost immediately. He would do anything for his sister.
"And Mr Li.." She looked at him then continued. "I heard you're most of the time free on Saturdays and Sundays. Can you spare at least an hour to workout with us also? It would be of great help to her if we are also doing it with her" She asked skeptically.
'Workout?' Muchen tried to process what she was actually asking him.
Did it mean he would spend every Saturdays and Sundays with the both of them? Although, he did not visit the office during weekends most times, he always worked indoors. But if he had any opportunity to 'support his sister' of course he would do that.
He had the urge to smile when he thought of this great opportunity.
"Sure! I will do my best in any way to support Heya" He assured Sara with a small smile.
He waited for Sara to say something but when she didn't, he spoke instead.
"Then, that's decided then" He said with another smile.
'That smile again!' She thought to herself.
She suddenly thought of something and looked at him intently. She needed to settle this issue once and for all.
"Uhm.... Mr Li?..."
He looked at her and gave her a 'go-ahead' look.
He was also curious about what she wanted to say that she was looking at him so intently.
"You are always so cold. Are you like that to everyone or just me?"
She was always so plain and straightforward so she didn't really care if he was her boss and just had to ask.
"Is it because you dislike me or because I dress like this?"
Muchen was taken aback by her question. He really had not expected her to ask him such.
Thinking back to his reactions the past few times they had met, it was easy to assume such.
"No. I don't dislike you. Neither do I hate the way you dress." He replied leisurely with his gaze still fixed on her.
Sara did not move her gaze this time when she asked,
"So, Do you like me then?"
