Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Zixin vigorously shook his head and said, "No, I am fine." 

"Are you sure? You don't look very good. Did something happen?" Yumi asked.

"No, I am fine. Okay, let's go now." Taking the bag from Yumi's hand, Zixin grabbed her hand and rushed out of the room. 

"Zixin wait, the car isn't here yet." 

"Don't worry, the car is already waiting for us outside."

...

Li mansion.

When Father Xie and Singtan arrived at the mansion, it was already bustling. The living was packed with friends and families. 

"This is so exciting, finally Zian and Mian are getting married." Ling excitedly exclaimed.

Beth sighed and helplessly shook her head. "Doesn't it feel like yesterday when they were born?"

"You mean the time where Singtan almost fainted in the hospital? Oh yes I still remember when that happened." Yutang and Mike couldn't help but burst into laughter when they started reminiscing about the time when Singtan was thrown out of the labor room. 

"Ah so who said that you both were any better? Yutang fainted inside the labor room and Mike cried." Singtan added.

"What? Dad you fainted?" Linyang asked.

Placing her finger on her lips, Yixi vigorously shook her head. "My lips were forever sealed. As promised, I never mentioned this in front of the kids."

"For real? Like really Dad? You passed out?" Liang asked.

Yutang frowned and snapped, "Your mother was giving birth to twins and you both were fat. It was hard for your mom and as well as your aunt Anna. We were ready to go for a C-section but your mom insisted not to."

Linyang frowned and complained, "Dad, how can you call me fat? Am I not your princess?"

Yutang vigorously shook his head and flipped, "Oh no honey, you weren't fat, Liang was."

Linyang sighed and helplessly shook his head after hearing his father's words. It had always been like this. His father favoured Linyang more than him. 

"Hey, don't call my son fat. In fact, don't call my kids fat. I am happy that they were born healthy." Yixi said.

"Hey wasn't I the unhealthy one? How did I end up being fat?" Liang asked. He remembered his grandma telling him how Yutang was always worried about his health. 

"Unhealthy?" Linyang asked.

"Yeah and it's probably because you took away a greater portion of the protein and essential minerals which we both were supposed to share." Liang snapped at his twin sister.

Linyang narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips. "Are you trying to say that I am a heavy eater?"

"Well, aren't you a heavy eating sister Linyang?" Qiang asked who had just arrived home from a photo shoot. 

"Damn my cousin looks so beautiful, no wonder Ashton is head over heels for her." Yinhai murmured.

Guang smiled and nodded his head. "Yes, she looks amazing."

Smacking Ashton's arm who was still in daze, Yinhai asked, "Dude, where are you lost?"

When Ashton shook his head, Yinhai added, "Qiang is here, you should go and talk to her."

When Ashton merely nodded his head, Guang asked, "What happened man? You don't look good."

"Was it today? Oh God, I am so sorry. Come let's go, I'll take you there." Zian said before fishing out his care keys.

"It's okay brother Zian, I'll take a chauffeur with me and-"

"No you won't, I am taking you there. That place is not very safe and-"

"But you need to stay here with sister Mian." Qiang was supposed to go for a late night shoot and Zian was supposed to take her there and bring her back but with so many people around, it would be inconvenient if Zian left.

"Take Yushen with you then." Taking his phone out, Zian was about to call Yushen when Ming stopped him saying, "Don't disturb Yushen, he is doing something important." How could she let anyone disturb her son who was out for his first date? 

"I'll be okay, why are you all so worried about me?" Qiang asked.

Tapping Ashton's shoulder, Yinhai said, "Dude, this is an awesome opportunity. Go and offer a ride to Qiang." 

When Ashton did not say anything, Yinhai frowned, "Dude, what is wrong with you today?" 

"It's nothing, I just don't feel like going anywhere." Massaging his head, Ashton sat down and sighed. He didn't feel like doing anything and also couldn't stop thinking about Elsa.

"Are you sure? It's Qiang." Finding Ashton's behaviour very strange, Yinhai kept on nagging him. It was very strange and unusual of him to say no to something which involved Qiang. 

When Ashton shook his head, Guang sighed and grabbed his keys. "I'll go with her then."

When Yinhai nodded his head, Guang left.

"Dad, it's an overnight journey and I don't want to tire you out." Qiang said.

"But-"

Stepping forward, Guang raised his hand and said, "I'll take Qiang and bring her back safely too."

Zian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Well, problem solved. If Guang goes with Qiang, we have nothing to worry about right?"

When Singtan nodded his head, Songpa warned his son. "Take proper care of Qiang and make sure you bring her back safely. Be cautious and-"

Cutting his dad off, Guang said, "Dad, relax okay? I'll be extra careful."

"I'll go and get my things then." After Qiang left, Songpa kept on giving Guang instructions and kept on reminding him to be extra careful. 

...

Zixins car.

"Where are we going? This isn't the way to the mansion." Yumi asked. 

Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Zixin pulled her closer. "You'll see honey."

"But where are we going? We were supposed to go home and-"

"Sshhhh just relax and let me take you where I want to okay?" 

Staring around him for quite some time, Yumi sighed. Wrapping her arms around his waist, Yumi buried her head on his ċhėst. "I don't want you to tire yourself out."

Kissing the top of her head, Zixin smiled, "Don't worry babe, I am okay."
