Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Next morning when Xie Ming woke up, Li Singtan was no where to be seen.

Just then a maid entered the room with some soup and fresh vegetables.

" Good morning Young Madam." The maid greeted.

Xie Ming smiled and said," Good morning. Do you know here Singtan is?"

" Young Master left early today. He told me to bring some soup and vegetables after you wake up. Master said that he will come in the evening." The maid said.

" Alright you can go. I'll take it from here." Xie Ming said.

After eating her breakfast, Xie Ming took a quick shower and headed downstairs.

....

Downstairs.

When Xie Ming arrived downstairs, Ben was sitting alone on the dinning table enjoying his chocolate milk.

" Hey handsome." Ming said before planting a kiss on his soft cheeks.

" Good morning beautiful aunty." Ben said.

Xie Ming smiled and asked," Where is your Grandma and mom?"

" Grandma went outside with Grandpa and mom is inside." Ben said.

" Hmm. So what is Ben doing today?" Xie Ming asked.

" Ben is going shopping with mom." Ben said.

Xie Ming smiled and said," Ahh that's nice. What is will Ben buy for me?"

Ben thought for a while and said," I'll buy some toys for my little brother."

Xie Ming chuckled and asked," Ben wants a little brother not a little sister?

Ben nodded his head," Yes."

" Good." Ming said.

Just then Rose dashed out of her room in a hurry. 

After seeing his mother, Ben quickly gulped down the remaining milk and got down from the chair," Mom let's go."

Rose sighed and said," I am sorry baby but mom won't be able to take you for shopping today."

Ben lowered his head and said," But mom promised."

Rose sighed and said," Yes I know. We can go tomorrow okay."

Ben slowly nodded his head.

" What happened?" Xie Ming asked.

" Ahh big sister something very important came up. I have this show coming up and then the something happened to the designs. So I have rush and solve everything. I had to take him for shopping today but-"

Xie Ming smiled and said," It's fine you go I'll take our handsome Ben for shopping."

" I don't think so it's a good idea." Rose said.

Xie Ming sighed and said," It's fine. I don't have anything to do and Singtan is also not here so I can accompany Ben." 

" Big brother-" 

" Ah don't worry about him. I'll talk to Singtan." Ming said.

Rose smiled and said," Thank you so much elder sister. Ben don't nag or irritate Aunt Ming Okay?"

Ben cheekily smiled and nodded his head.

After Rose left, Ming called a maid and said," Please ask someone to get the car ready." before taking out her phone and calling Singtan.

.....

Wu clan base.

Singtan has just arrived at the Wu clan base when he received a call from Ming.

" Singtan I am taking Ben out for shopping." Ming said.

Singtan frowned and said," No you are not. Stay at home and rest. Rose or Quin can do that."

Xie Ming rolled her eyes and said," I am not asking you okay I am telling you. Rose and Quin are busy and Ben wants to go to the mall. I don't want to stay at home for the entire day and get bored okay. Even you are coming home late today."

Li Singtan thought for a while and said," Okay fine but take some bodyguards along with you. No wait I'll ask Songpa to accompany you both."

" I'll take the bodyguards with me no need to trouble Songpa. I'll be fine and I promise to be extra cautious." Ming said.

" Okay go. Call me every now and then and stay safe. If anything happens call me right away." Li Singtan said.

" Okay okay I will." Xie Ming said before hanging up the call.

After hanging up the call, Li Singtan called Han Zihao and said," Send some hidden guards to follow your lady boss and Ben to the mall."

" Anything else sir?" Han Zihao asked. 

" Do something you go to the mall and accompany them." Li Singtan said.

Han Zihao widened his eyes in shock and asked," Me?"

" Yes you. If anything happens give me a call straightaway. Did you understand?"

" Yes Sir." Han Zihao said before hanging up the call.

Placing his phone into his pocket, Li Singtan made his way towards the base.

....

Inside the base.

When Li Singtan entered the base, Carl was waiting for him at the entrance.

" Good morning Mr Li. Everyone is waiting for you inside." Carl said.

Li Singtan nodded his head and stared walking towards the waiting room.

When Singtan entered the room, everyone was present.

He raised his eye brows when he saw Yutangs irritated expression.

" Why are you making faces?" Singtan asked.

Mike laughed and said," Mr Yang is angry because he had leave his Mrs Yang alone in the bed."

" You guys need to understand. I got married yesterday okay and there are many things that I have to do." Yutang said.

Singtan rolled his eyes and said," I am going to become a father soon and I am still not complaining but look at you."

" I am very angry with you Yutang bro. You did not even call me at your wedding." Robbing frowned and complained.

Yutang rolled his eyes and said," Even you did not say that you are a Chen."

" Damn I knew you would bring this up." Robbin said.

" Alright now stop your shitty talks and let's get back to business." Mike said.

Sebastian sighed and said," We have called that Simon guy for a meeting at 3pm."

Li Singtan nodded his head and said," Good but I think we need to change the plan. Yufan will not show himself up in front of Simon. Sebastian you have to attend the meeting alone and you've take out some information about Mo Junjop from Simon. If Yufan shows up that sly man will surely know that we people are working together."

Sebastian nodded his head and said," Alright I think I can do that."

Mike shook his head and said," I cannot believe Mo Junjop is still alive. I thought he was a long dead gangster but who would've thought-"

" He has some past grudges with grandpa. So may be he is helping Simon because of that." Li Singtan said.

" Did grandpa or you get any kind of warning from him?" Yutang asked.

Li Singtan shook his head and said," Not yet but I feel that he is going to make a move soon. We have to be careful."

Robbin smirked and said," I wonder how he did all this. I mean making the police believe that the dead body they found was actually his. Back then when I heard he was dead, I was so delighted that the very next day I completed all the rituals and rushed to country S to start a new life but who would've thought that-"

" Since he is your grandfather, I am very sure that he is keeping an eye on you. I think he even knows about your mother too. We have to find her before he does." Li Singtan said.

Robbin nodded his head and said," I am on it."

" Did you say that she was seen in Australia?" Sebastian asked.

Robbin nodded his head.

" Great I have a friend who has a very good hold in Australia. May be he can help." Sebastian said.

" Great it will be easier for me to find her that way." Robbin said.
