Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Inside Yumi's room.

Closing the door shut, Yumi sat down on the edge of her bed and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Walking towards her wardrobe, Yumi took out a black file which had many paper cuttings and printed articles. 

Yumi mockingly smiled while ċȧrėssing an article which said: The heir of the legendary Mo family of country C, Mo Zixin got engaged to the only daughter of the Pi family. 

Flipping through the file and reading the articles one by one, Yumi smiled. Her Zixin was a very successful man now. Not only did he inherit his father's business but had also expanded the Mo Empire in a very short time. All his accomplishments, each and every news about him, Yumi had kept them safely inside a file. 

Wiping her tears away, Yumi kept the file inside the wardrobe and sat down on the couch.

…..

Downstairs.

After changing into a fresh suit and combing his hair neater and cleaner than usual Zian came downstairs.

Looking around when he spotted an empty seat, he frowned, "Where is Yumi?"

Pointing towards Yushen, Qiang murmured, "It's his fault."

Zian pursed his lips and glared at Yushen before rushing towards Yumi's room.

…..

Inside Yumi's room.

"Yumi, I am coming in." As soon as Zian entered the room, Yumi turned to the other side and started wiping her tears.

Zian sighed and helplessly shook his head. "How many times do I have to tell you not to cry like this? You know I hate seeing you like this." Squatting down, Zian wiped her tears away. "Everything is going to be okay."

Pouncing into her brother's embrace, Yumi cried her heart out. "He said he would come back. He said that he would never leave me. He lied to me."

Zian's heart ached for his little sister. This wasn't the first time she had cried in front of him. This wasn't the first time she had said those words. 

Four years passed by but Zixin never contacted her. Yumi tried very hard to find ways to talk to him but he never responded to her emails or messages. And finally one day she heard a big piece of news about Zixin, the news about his engagement with some other woman. Yumi's world turned upside down when she heard the news. At first she refused to believe it but later when Zian confirmed the news, Yumi left heartbroken. 

"Why did he ask me to wait if he had no intention of returning back? Why did he promise me? Why?" Yumi shouted before crying harder.

"Ssshhh calm down." Zian patted her back and kept consoling his little sister. 

"Brother Zian you have to break his legs whenever you see him. Beat the shit out of him for making me cry and breaking my heart." Yumi complained.

Zian smiled and nodded his head. "Don't worry, I'll definitely kick his ȧss hard."

Pulling away, Zian kissed her forehead and said, "Everything is going to be fine okay? Just give it a little time and space. You are my brave and strong little sister and Li's don't-"

Cutting him off, Yumi said, "Li's don't cry."

Pinching her nose, Zian nodded his head. "Don't forget that."

…..

When Yumi and Zian came down, Zian straightened his suit and fixed his hair when he saw the only woman he had been admiring and loving for the twenty five years of his existence. 

"Mian." Yumi shouted before rushing towards her childhood best friend.

"Yumi." Mian squealed excitedly before pouncing into her embrace.

Swirling around, Yumi screamed excitedly, "God I missed you so much, when did you come back?"

"I came back yesterday." Mian answered before eyeing at someone who was still standing near the staircase with a very gloomy expression on.

Yushen dramatically gasped and held his ċhėst. "Ahhh sister Mian how could you do that? You came back yesterday and you are only coming here? You didn't even tell big brother about it? Ahh how sad and heartbroken he must be feeling."

Looking at Zian, Mian pouted her lips and placed her hand on her hɨps. "Sad? Heartbroken? Well, he doesn't look sad or heartbroken though."

Zian's already gloomy expression turned even more gloomy when he heard that. Not only was he sad or heartbroken but he was also angry because Mian left the country for six long months when he was out of the country. He could not even meet her and see her off to the airport before she left. And in addition to that, she had arrived yesterday but Zian had no idea about it as well. 

Without saying anything, Zian dashed towards his room.

After Zian left, Yumi smacked Mian's arm.

"Will you stop teasing my big brother? You know how sėnsɨtɨvė he is to the things that you do or things that is related to you."

"Well, he has to open up and tell me that. I need to know that he misses me the way I miss him." Mian reasoned out.

"You know he loves you a lot right?" Yumi whispered.

Main chuckled and nodded her head. "Yes I do know that but wouldn't it be great if he says that and not you or me?"

…..

Zian's room.

Taking off his tie, Zian tossed it aside. Taking off his suit as well, Zian pulled out his shirt which was nearly tucked and also unbuttoned his shirt. 

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Yushen go away, I don't have time for your shit right now." Zian shouted. 

"I thought you were about to leave for office." Mian said before walking towards him.

Sitting beside him, Mian placed her head on his shoulder and asked, "What happened? You seem upset."

"When did you come back?" Zian asked.

Without waiting for her reply, he answered his own question, " Yesterday."

"And when are you meeting me? Today." Zian grumpily nagged about being ignored.
