Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Hospital

"Wow sister-in-law is really very beautiful, no wonder our big brother Ben didn't bat an eye at all the woman aunt Ming and Mom introduced him to," Nuan chuckled.

Smiling at him, Clara said, "You must be Nuan."

When he nodded his head, Clara smiled at everyone, "I know all your names but I really don't know who is who." Looking at Ben she added, "Ben told me about everyone when we were dating but I never got a chance to meet you all."

"It's alright sister Clara, sister Flora had to struggle for quite some time to remember who is who too." Yushen explained.

"Exactly and it's not really your fault, we are too many names and people so anyone can get confused." Zian added.

Turning towards Sam, Yumi asked, "Brother Sam, where is sister Flora? She did not attend our engagement banquet as well."

"Flora's maternal uncle expired a couple of days before your engagement so she had to rush back," Sam sighed and helplessly shook his head, "She is not coming back for at least a month." 

"Ahh why so?" Hooking her arms around Sam's, Qiang faked a frown, "How will our brother Sam survive without his oxygen tank gone for an entire month?" 

Knocking Qiang's forehead, Sam chivklrd, "Look at this little one teasing me."

Sticking her tongue out, Qiang rushed towards Ben and complained, "Look big brother Ben, he is hitting me." 

Gritting his teeth, Yushen turned towards Zian and snapped, "You see that brother Zian?" 

"See what?" 

"When I do something, she comes running to you but now she is using big brother Ben as her shield. Qiang is so—"

Cutting her off, Zian smacked Yushen's head, "She is intelligent, she knows that I am enough to deal with you so she calls me out when you irritate my sister and she also knows that I cannot do anything to brother Sam so she is calling brother Ben out." 

"Is that true Qiang? Are you using me?" Ben asked.

Sticking her tongue out, Qiang vigorously shook her head. 

"Honey this is Qiang, the smallest of all and also the most loved one." Pinching Qiang's nose, Ben added, "Don't get deceived by her cuteness and innocent eyes because she is the most naughty one here."

Leaning towards Zixin who was standing right beside him, Yushen asked, "Brother Zixin."

"Hmm,"

"If Qiang is the smallest one, doesn't that make me the smallest one too? I mean we are twins so—"

Cutting him off, Zixin chuckled, "Dude, you are old and you are a man so your cuteness and age doesn't count so don't even compare."

Wiping his fake tears away, Yushen sighed, "Being a man in the Li family is really a curse." 

Patting his shoulder, Zixin sighed, "Being your father's son-in-law is way more tougher than being his son." 

After introducing everyone, Ben chuckled, "I know it's difficult for you to feed in everything all at once but you can take your time." 

"No it's alright, I think I got it but please don't mind if I get mixed up a couple of times and you all look so lovely together. I always wanted to be a part of a big happy family." The Latif family was also very huge but it lacked the warmth and affection a family should have. No matter how hard Clara tried, she never got the family vibes from them. So seeing everyone today as a big happy family, she was feeling very overwhelmed. 

"Well, aren't you a part of us already? I mean, we all are going to live under the same roof after brother Ben brings you home," Yumi said.

Looking at Ben, Clara smiled, even she couldn't wait to go home with him where they could live happily ever after.

Outside the hospital

"I am famished," Mian frowned.

Rubbing her stomach, Huiling added, "I am hungry too." 

"Hey, let's go and grab some pizza first," Zian suggested.

"Yes and then everyone can go anywhere they want to."

Everyone willingly agreed with the plan except for Becca.

"Hmm, I'll have to pass." 

Huiling frowned and asked, "Why?" 

Hooking her arms around Becca's neck, Qiang grinned at Yinhai, "You all don't know? Our Becca is going on a date today." 

Yinhai pursed his lips and frowned, "What? A date?" 

"Yes, why do you look so shocked? You don't want her to go on a date?" Qiang asked. 

"Ah why didn't you tell me about it? And who is the guy?" Huiling asked.

"His name is Jamie—"

Cutting her off, Yinhai snapped, "That weird looking guy who was trying to hit on you during the Banquet?" 

Ignoring him, Becca added, "So I need to leave now." 

Alright, you should go fast before Yinhai starts questioning you like a possessive elder brother." After seeing Becca off, Qiang added, "I want an extra cheese pizza today." 

"Alright, let's leave." 

Grabbing Qiang's arm, Yinhai dragged her to a corner. "What the hell was that Qiang?" 

Shrugging her shoulders, she asked, "What was what?" 

He frowned deeper and gritted his teeth, "You just called me Becca's elder brother." 

Patting his shoulder, she smiled, "Well, since you don't wanna become her man so I thought that maybe you wanna be her big bro." 

"Qiang, what the fuċk is wrong with you? Why would you say that even though you know how much I like Bec? Do you want me to go crazy?" Yinhai snapped, he was already very frustrated over the fact that Becca was going on a date with some Jamie guy and Qiang called him her brother in front of everyone. He was already planning to talk to her and sort things out but the sudden date and brother thing ruined his entire plan.

Rolling her eyes at him, she said, "Don't act like this is the end of the world or an era." Smacking his head, she added, "Why don't you go follow her and stop her from meeting that guy?"
