Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

When Ming and Singtan came downstairs, mother Chen was sitting on the couch.

Ming had always had a very nice image of Chen Siquans mother. She was never rude to her nor did she ever try to hurt her and this was the reason why she agreed to meet her.

Mother Chen was simple houseful who belonged to a middle class family. It was Father Chen who saw her at a restaurant where she was working as waitress and then fancied her. Though Father Chen loved her and dotted on her, mother Chen still had no say in the important decisions that Father Chen used to take. She used to do as Father Chen used to tell her.

When Mother Chen saw Ming, she quickly got up and politely greeted her," Xie Ming."

Ming smiled and nodded her head.

Singtan on the other hand tightened his grip around her waist and pulled her closer.

" Please sit down." Ming said.

Looking at Singtan, Mother Chen lowered her head and quietly sat down.

" Honey can you get my phone from upstairs?" Ming asked.

Singtan nodded his head and left.

After Singtan left, Ming sat down and asked," Aunty Chen What do you want to talk about?"

Mother Chen took a deep breath and said," I-I wanted to talk about Siquan."

Pausing for a while, Mother Chen said," Ming I know that Siquan is with-"

" Do you know what your son did?" Ming asked.

Caressing her stomach, Ming said," Your son tried to kill my baby. He knew I was pregnant when he abducted me but he purposely tried to harm my baby. If Singtan wouldn't have arrived then-"

Kneeling on the ground, Mother Chen held Ming's hand and said," Ming I know what Siquan did was wrong and I am also very upset after learning about his actions. I will scold him when I meet him."

" Aunty Chen please get up." Ming said.

Mother Chen shook her head and said," No no Ming please listen to me first. Siquans father and I are living far away from here now. We don't have any ties in country S. We have everything now and Siquans Father is trying to expand his business there. We are living quite well. I-If you give my son back to me, I'll take him away from here. I'll make sure he will never disturb you. I'll take care of his. Please Ming give me my son back. He is my only child and I cannot live without him please."

Ming's heart ached seeing mother Chen like that. 

" Aunty it's not me. I have no say in this. It's Singtan who-"

" Mr Li will listen to everything that you will say. Ming you are going to become a mother so you know how it feels to lose a child. Please have pity on me and give me my son back. I'll take care of him. You don't have to face any problem because of him. Please." Mother Chen sobbed.

Just then Singtan came down. When mother Chen saw him, she quickly got up and said," I will go now and I'll wait for you answer. I am flying back tomorrow in the evening and I staying at Imperial hotel along with your uncle." before walking out of the mansion.

After mother Chen left, Singtan sat beside Ming and pulled her into his embrace.

Pausing for a really long time, Ming said," Singtan."

" Hmm."

" Is Chen Siquan alive?" Ming asked.

Singtan sighed and nodded his head," Yes he is alive. Mike treated him after that incident. He is current recovering."

" You did not kill him?" Ming asked.

Singtan shook his head and said," I wanted to and I still want to but you told me not to kill anyone till this little one is born. So I didn't."

Snuggling her head against his ċhėst, Ming closed her eyes.

" Ming you know that I'll always listen to you right?" Singtan asked.

Ming slowly nodded her head.

Singtan chuckled and said," Then why are you thinking so much? You just have to tell me what you want to do and I'll do as you say."

" Right now I want you to hug me for a really long time." Ming said.

Without saying anything, Singtan wrapped his arms around her and said," Don't think so much. I have already called everyone and they are coming tonight and they are staying over too."

" Stay over? They are staying over too?" Ming asked.

Singtan nodded his head and said," Yes they are. I'll ask someone to get the guest rooms ready."

" Singtan we still have time so can we go and meet Siquan once?" Ming asked.

Singtan nodded his head and said," Yes we can."

....

Li base.

When Ming and Singtan arrived at the Li base, Ming poked Singtan and asked," When you are not at home and office, do you come here?"

Singtan chuckled and nodded his head," Yes. Songpa and Zechan they both stay here."

Just then Zechan arrived and politely greeted Singtan and Ming.

" Where is Songpa?" Singtan said.

Zechan sighed and said," Date."

Singtan smiled and said," Okay let him enjoy. Is everything ready?"

Zechan nodded his head and said," Yes Boss everything is ready."

....

Underground Cell.

When Xie Ming stepped into the underground cell, she tightened her grip around Singtans hand.

The underground cell was dark and cold and it was giving Ming an eerie kind of a feeling.

" I know it's a bit scary but there are no ghost or monsters in here." Singtan said.

" I am not scared of ghost." Ming said.

" Hmm I know my Ming is brave." Singtan said.

Pinching his waist, Ming said," Stop making fun of me Singtan."

Singtan chuckled and said," I am not."

" Sir this one." Zechan said before stopping in front of a metal door.

" Open it but let the partition remain." Singtan said.
