Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

"She is already in the Li mansion so she is safe." Pouring another glass of wine for himself, Andrew continued, "And what makes you think that she would agree to live with us even if you had sent our men to fetch her? My sister is very stubborn Michael, she will die but will never agree to live with me and I deserve it."

"No you dont deserve this Andrew—" Snatching the glass from his hand, Michael snapped, "Why would you even think like that? You don't deserve any of this and we will fix this. We already had a talk with them—"

Cutting him off, Andrew mockingly smirked, "Nothing is going to fix all this mess Mic, what makes you think that Linyang will forgive me even if Zian and others believe me?" taking the glass from Michael's hand, he added, "I lost my sister and the woman I love, how fuċkėd up can life be?"

Pinching his brows, Michael tried to make him understand. "Why are you losing hope? Everything will be okay Andrew, I am sure that Linyang will also understand the entire situation and willingly accept the relationship again."

Gulping down the entire content of the glass, he chuckled, "Who are you kidding Michael? Listen, I know you are my friend and you wish for my best but it's over man, I have already lost everything and there is nothing to save."

Pursing his lips, Micheal sighed. He had never seen Andrew so broken and lost, his heart ached for him. He had already lost many things in his life and he didn't want him to suffer anymore. "Don't say that, I'll talk to Linyang and—"

Cutting him off, Andrew frowned, "No, you are not going to do anything like that, I don't want to disturb or interrupt her life anymore. Maybe this is for the best, Linyang deserves much better, a man who will always treasure her and someone who will never hurt her."

Taking a deep breath, Michael tried to calm himself down before changing the topic. "What about Pulos? Are you letting him go? He is trying to play his dirty tricks on you again."

"He surely found out about the meeting and is trying to warn us. Jeni is safe with that Li guy but we have to make sure that he doesn't find out about Linyang." Andrew knew that if Pulos finds out his connection with Linyang, he will surely target her to make him vulnerable.

Just then, the doorbell rang. 

Glancing at the watch, Michael frowned, "Who is it at this time? Did you invite anyone?"

"I think it's Liang, he wanted to meet me personally so I called him over." Andrew answered before walking towards the door.

When Liang entered the apartment, Micahel excused himself to give the two of them some privacy. 

"Do you want a drink?" 

Liang shook his head and snapped, "I am not here to drink."

"I know." Pausing for a while, he inquired, "Are you here to ask me to stay away from Linyang?" 

"What makes you think I'll ask you to stay away from here?" 

Shrugging his shoulders, he sighed, "I don't know, why else would you come here at this time?"

Glaring at him for quite some time, Liang sneered, "I'll ask you a small question and I want an honest answer." Pausing for a while, he continued, "Did you or did you not hide my undėrwėȧr when we were in college?" 

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Andrew inquired, "Are you talking about the incident that happened during the tournament?" When Liang nodded his head, he chuckled, "Wait, so you seriously thought that I stole your undėrwėȧr? Dude are you insane?" 

When Liang did not say anything, he smirked, "Is this the reason why you are always cold towards me?" 

"That was a very embarrassing incident and—"

Cutting him off, Andrew chuckled, "Are you nuts? Do I look like someone who would go around stealing undėrwėȧr? Well, but I did see someone taking it out of your bag." 

Narrowing his eyes, Liang snapped, "Who?" 

"Zian, Zixin and Huang, I saw them take it out of your bag but I did not stop them because I thought it was funny and it was kinda funny," he chuckled.

"What? They did that?" When he nodded his head, Liang gritted his teeth and ġrȯȧnėd in frustration. He couldn't believe that his own friends made him face such an embarrassed situation.

"Don't blame me, they are your friends so I thought they were having some fun." 

Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Liang sat down on the couch. He would definitely deal with his friends later but now he had to deal with something important.

"I ȧssume that you aren't here only to interrogate me for your missing undėrwėȧr," Andrew stated.

"I don't like talking indirectly, so I will be blunt and I also expect you to answer me bluntly and honestly." Pausing for a while, Liang added, "Do you love Linyang?" 

Without wasting a single second, Andrew answered, "I do, I love her alot and I miss her alot too." There was not a single minute and day when he did not think about Linyang. He missed everything about her, her smile, her rants, the way she scolded him and cared for him. He had even stopped going to the office because everything little thing there reminded him of her and it made him feel very awful. 

Without saying anything, Liang got up and started walking out of the apartment.

Stopping him, Andrew asked, "Did you meet her? How is she?" 

"As miserable as you are." Pausing for a whole, Liang added, "My sister is very precious to me Andrew and trust me when I say that if you hurt her or if I see her crying because of you in the future, I'll kill you. So you better keep that in mind and behave." 

"I would never purposely hurt her, she is very precious to me as well," Andrew retorted.
