Muchen was almost dozing off in his car. He had been busy attending meetings, taking flights and going through various documents the last few days.

On arriving the country, his first thought was to see Sara. But he knew it was impossible. So, he settled with having a nice shower, meal, and of course, a good sleep.

But then, his plans changed after he received message. His cousin, Li Minde, was in the hospital.

Minde had always been the type who gave utmost priority to his health, so Muchen was really worried that something bad must have happened for him to end up in the hospital. He had even called Ms Long's business line directly, and told her to tell him that he was dying. "Mr Li, Your cousin, Li Minde says he is dying" Ms Long had informed him.

Immediately they arrived the country, he asked Ms Long to head home first. She had been with him the entire time. He wondered why she was never tired, After all, she was a woman.

But Ms Long told him she would go over to the hospital with him. She wanted to know how Minde was doing and also greet her father from there.

So, off they went to her Father's hospital.

Apparently, Minde had gotten hit for flirting with a gang member's girlfriend that evening.

Ms Long shook her head. Was this the reason they actually came? It wasn't even that serious and he had asked Muchen to come over immediately he landed.

After she left them, she took out her personal phone from her handbag and browsed through. Muchen had suddenly decided to leave back his personal phone for no reason. Whenever there was any useful information, he believed whoever it was would relay the message officially through Ms Long. So she had been alert the entire time. But due to their various flights and meetings, she had not been able to check for any other update. And since the other secretaries hadn't called her for anything, she assumed everything was okay. Well, until she saw the news with Sara's name all over the net and gave her a call immediately.

Muchen looked at Minde's bruised face and shook his head. "I can't believe you made me come here immediately I landed because of this." He complained.

"Bro. You have to avenge me. You really have to." Minde said and tried to sit up. But the ache he felt all over his body, made him think otherwise. He settled with lying down.

"The only thing I need to do right now is to have a good rest." Muchen stood up and turned to leave.

"Bro wait. Just keep me company. Just a little. I'm the only one here and can't go home like this" He pointed at his face. "My body also aches badly" He pouted

Muchen looked at him and almost laughed. His bruised face looked funny. Although, Minde was always so insensitive, he wondered why he couldn't say no to him most times.

He sat back down to indulge his brother for a little while. At least, an hour was something right?

"Why did you suddenly travel without saying anything? I called you repeatedly but it wasn't reachable." Minde whined.

"You're like a nagging wife." Muchen mocked.

When he saw Minde pout again, he said "I left my personal phone in the office before traveling. I didn't want anything to distract me" He said nonchalantly

"What could possibly distract the Almighty CEO Li?" Minde asked.

Muchen just cocked a brow at him without saying anything else.

"Oh" Minde grinned when realisation dawned on him. Despite the fact that his face ached, he couldn't stop the grin. "You thought if you took it, you might call Sara every minute? What a romantic" Minde hit Muchen in what was supposed to be a playful hit but unfortunately, it was much harder which caused Muchen to frown at him.

"Sorry." Minde apologized with a cheeky grin.

Muchen couldn't deny it though. He had actually done just that. He didn't want to get distracted. He had to settle some company crisis that was already spreading and had affected the company in two countries. The only people who had his personal number was his family, secretaries and Sara. His family could easily reach him through Ms Long, his secretaries spoke directly with Ms Long and for Sara, he needed to give her time, and a little space. He desperately wanted to rush it. But he knew it was the wrong step to take. If he had taken his phone with him, he would be tempted to give her a call. And he didn't want to do that yet. 'Did she miss me? Is she thinking of me?' Those questions kept popping up in his mind. But he had no answer for them. Sara, was too unpredictable. Maybe she was even happy he had been away.

"I don't like the way you call her.. Call her Miss Wang or Miss Sara" Muchen chastised.

Minde eyed him. "How stingy. She's not even your woman yet." He muttered.

Muchen gave him a side glare but chose to ignore him. "Are you going to shut that thing off or should I do it for you?" Muchen pointed at Minde's phone that has been beeping beside him.

"Why does my phone keep beeping?" Minde complained. "Bro. Please pass me my phone. I'll shut it off myself" He smiled broadly, which caused him to wince in pain.

Minde scrolled through his phone a bit before he gasped "Oh My God! Just 3 hours here and I missed such a big news? Bro.. look"
