Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Tightening her grip around the coat, she sighed, "I just don't want to be with anyone right now Liang please, leave me alone."

Squatting right in front of her, Liang explained, "Listen to me Linyang, I don't know what exactly happened but I can't leave you alone like this. So either you willingly come with me or I'll call mom and ask her to accompany you, choice is yours."

Wiping her tears away, she reluctantly agreed. "Fine but don't tell mom about it, I don't want to trouble her."

"Okay, now go freshen up and fix yourself, I'll drop you to the mansion first."

After Linyang entered her room, Liang took out his phone and contemplated a while before calling someone. 

"I want to meet you right now, I'll be there in an hour." Without waiting for the other man's reply, he tossed his phone aside.

….

Li mansion.

"What are you girls doing?" Zian inquired before sitting beside Mian.

"We are going through the list in case we happened to miss someone," Yumi said.

"Can we help?" Ashton asked.

Flicking his forehead, Huiling chuckled, "No thank you so much but we are well aware of how pathetic your taste is Ash. Well, expect for our Elsa of course, she is the only good choice you have ever made."

Qiang chuckled and nodded her head, "I second that." Looking around, when she did not see Guang, she inquired, "Where is Guang?"

"He is talking to uncle Singtan downstairs," Ashton answered.

Without saying anything, Qiang rushed out of the room leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Woah, what happened to her?" Yumi asked.

"Well, Guang and Qiang are spending lots of time together lately so maybe she is scared that uncle Singtan is scolding him," Mian added.

Zian frowned and said, "Guang treats Qiang as his sister honey, it's nothing like that."

Yinhai, who had a huge frown on his face, widened his eyes in shock when he realized something. Turning towards Ashton, he was about to scream but before he could even utter a word, Ashton dragged him out of the room.

…..

Outside.

"Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? Do you want all of us to die?" Ashton hissed.

"Am I thinking what you are thinking, Ash?" Yinhai asked.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ashton said, "That depends on what you are thinking."

Placing his hand on his shoulder, Yinhai took a deep breath. "Ashton, is Guang dating my sister?"

"Well, I don't know what you are talking about man."

Staring at him for quite some time, Yinhai sighed, "Alright, don't tell me anything but I'll surely tell Elsa about the fun time you had in Hawaii."

Ashton frowned and snapped, "Hey, that was last year and I did not even know Elsa that time."

"But Elsa doesn't know that, does she? Imagine what will happen if I tell her about all the good times you had with the girls—"

Cutting him off, Ashton retorted, "What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want me to cry? Do you wanna see me cry?"

"Well, if you don't tell me the truth then why not?" without waiting for his reply, Yinhai was about to enter the room again when Ashton dragged him away.

Gritting his teeth, Ashton snapped, "Fine, yes they are dating each other but you can't tell anyone about it."

Downstairs.

"Are you sure you can go alone? You can ask Yushen to accompany you."

Guang shook his head and said, "No need to trouble Yushen uncle Singtan, I'll handle it myself."

"But won't you get bored? It's a long journey—"

Qiang frowned and inquired, "Long journey? Where is he going?"

"I had ordered something for Mian and Yumi but they can't deliver it now so I am sending Guang to fetch it for me honey," Singtan answered.

"Oh, so where is this place?" 

Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Singtan answered, "It's in another city, Guang has to drive there."

"He is going alone?" When Guang nodded his head, Qiang said, "I can accompany you, I mean, if you want me to."

Singtan frowned and retorted, "Honey it's an eight hours round trip, I don't think so you'll manage."

"I can manage dad, there is nothing to do here and I am not working until the wedding is over so it will be a nice break for me." How could she miss such a lovely opportunity of spending some alone couple time with Guang?

"But—"

"She can come with me uncle Singtan, I'll take care of her," Guang added.

Thinking for quite some time, Singtan said, "Wait, let me ask you mom first."

After Singtan left, Qiang frowned and smacked Guang's arm. "Seriously? Were you leaving without me? You left me alone at your place today and now this—do you not love me anymore?"

"Babe what are you saying? Of course I love you."

Grumpily sitting on the couch, she frowned, "Your actions and I love you doesn't match."

Squatting down right in front of her, he grabbed her hand na tried to coax her. "You know that a very important meeting popped up and I had no choice but to attend it."

"And what about this trip? You were going alone."

"Uncle Singtan just told me honey and I couldn't say no." When Qiang turned her face to the other side, he sighed, "You know that I love you right."

"Hmm, I know."

"Sorry for leaving you alone today, I promise that will never happen again."

Taking her hand close to his lip, she pouted her lips. "Two times.'

Guang chuckled and kissed the back of her hand twice. 'There you go, is my queen happy now?" When she smiled and nodded her head, he added, "Now about the unwarned lipstick mark you left on my neck—"

"Hmm there was unwarned kiss—" pointing towards his ċhėst, she continued, "I left here as well but you were in such a hurry to leave so—"

Just then Singtan arrived and said, "Okay, your mom has given her permission so you can go."
