Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Inside Zian's car.

"Call me Gavin." Mimicking Gavins voice, Zian murmured before starting the engine.

Suppressing her laughter, Mian pursed her lips before looking out of the window.

"Seriously Mian, are you laughing?" When she vigorously shook her head, he added, "You should've laughed at his face and not me."

"You are acting like a kid honey, stop sulking over that." 

"Why will you call him Gavin? Why does he want you to call him by his name? And what kind of name is Gavin? Sounds like gutter to me." Zian didn't like that stupid doctor and genuinely doubted his intentions. 

"Well, he did ask me to call him by his first name but did I?" When he shook his head, she added, "So what are you sulking about?" 

"I am not getting a good vibe from that stupid doctor okay?" 

"What do you mean?" Mian asked.

"My man-instincts are telling me that he is dangerous and he is up to something." 

"Man-instincts? Is that even a thing?" She asked.

Zian vigorously nodded his head and said, "Obviously it's a thing. Like don't you women know when some other woman tries to snatch your man away as soon as you see her?" When she nodded her head, he added, "Yeah so man-instincts are the same thing." 

"I think you are just over-thinking and even if he has ill-intentions honey, I'll stay away from him okay? Right now I am too occupied thinking about us and our wedding. I don't want you to think about anything else. Let's just stay happy and enjoy this beautiful phase. I want all your attention okay? Don't think about your man-instincts and just enjoy this moment with me." Hooking her arms around his, she placed head head on his shoulder, "Just think about me."

Kissing the top of head, Zian sighed. "I guess you're right. As if that creepy doctor can take you away from me. Wouldn't I bury him alive if he tries to take what's mine?" 

Giving him a peck on his cheeks, she smiled, "Scary but I love it."

…..

Li mansion.

"We need to go down." Yumi said in between her mȯȧns.

Pulling away, Zixin buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath. "This is such a torture. Can't we stay together after getting engaged?"

Running her fingers through his hair, she smiled, "Hmm we can but you have to take dad's permission."

"I can wait until we get married."

Yumi chuckled and asked, "Why are you so scared of dad? It's not like he will eat you or bury you alive."

"You kidding me? I am worried that he would shoot me on the spot even if I mention taking you away with me before getting married. Your dad is dangerous okay? He gives me creeps." 

"He is the sweetest." Yumi retorted.

"Uh huh, just for aunt Ming, you and Qiang."

"Zixin."

"Hmm."

"Why did mom and dad leave so quickly?" Yumi asked. 

"Ahh it's nothing serious babe, they will be back tomorrow before the banquet." 

"Are you sure you aren't hiding anything from me right?" 

Pressing his lips on her forehead, Zxin smiled, "Let's go down."

Wrapping her arms around his waist, she sighed, "Let me hug you for a while." Yumi knew he was hiding something but she understood why he didn't want to tell her about it. Zixin didn't want her stress about anything. 

When his parents suddenly left for country C yesterday, she already knew that something was wrong. She tried to find out the real reason behind their departure but couldn't find anything out. 

Caressing her back, Zixin said, "Yumi."

"Hmm."

"I love you."

Tiptoeing, she pressed her lips on his and smiled. "I love you more."

Uptown Cafe.

"So are you coming to the banquet?" Liang asked.

Kathy nodded her head and said, "I was supposed to fly over to country C for a couple of days but Zixin and Yumi will kill me if I don't."

Taking a sip of his oreo milkshake, he asked, "Why do you go to country C so frequently?"

"Because that is my country, I mean I was born there." 

"Hmm but you have a job here now, I mean Mo Corporation has already been established here so why do you keep going back?" He asked.

" I go there to meet someone."

Resisting the strong urge to knit his brows, Liang forced himself to ask, "Someone special?"

"Ya, someone very special."

"Oh, that is nice." Awkwardly clearing his throat, he glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost 7, I think we should leave."

"Wow we have been sitting here for two hours? Time surely flies."

Looking at her, Liang smiled, "It surely does." 

Liang and Kathy had been in constant touch after they exchanged numbers. Since Zixin was busy with his wedding, Liang was helping Kathy out with company matters as they didn't want to bug Zixin and force him to work. 

Apart from meeting professionally, they also started meeting privately almost everyday for a cup of coffee or for a movie sometimes. 

Kathy was a strong, independent, loving and beautiful woman and Liang admired her for all the qualities she had. The more he met her, his willingness to know everything about her kept on increasing. 

He noticed that Kathy flew back to country C every weekend and would catch an early flight to country S on Monday. He was very curious and wanted to know the reason behind flying back every weekend but who would've thought that after learning that she flies back for someone special, he would feel so disappointed and uneasy.

Shrugging his disappointment away, Liang grabbed his keys and said, "I'll drop you home."

Kathy smiled and nodded her head before grabbing her bag and leaving that cafe with him.

…..

"I am so worried about him elder sister and he doesn't seem to care about anything that I say. He just shrugs me off and says that he is fine but I know that he isn't." Massaging her forehead, Rose added, "I don't know what to do with this boy."
