Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Li mansion

"Linyang what happened?" Yumi inquired, she had not been receiving her calls and she was nowhere to be seen until today.

"Come on say something Linyang, you are scaring us," Mian insisted. She wasn't saying anything and her silence was killing them. 

Yumi and Mian wanted to know what was wrong and wanted to help her but she refused to utter a single word which was making things much more difficult.

When Mian looked at her, Yumi sighed and nodded her head before holding Linyang's hand.

"Did something happen with Andrew?" Mian reluctantly asked.

The mere mention of his name made her eyes watery and she couldn't stop her tears from streaming down her cheeks. The guilt, pain and heartache ache was too much for her to handle. 

Giving her a hug, Yumi sighed, "Its alright honey, we are here for you.

"Yes, we always are," Mian added before joining the hug.

Hugging her two best friends, Linyang kept on crying for a really long time and the two of them kept consoling her. They wanted to know what had exactly happened between them but at the same time, they didn't want to stress her even more.

Wiping her tears away, Mian said, "We are right here if you need to talk okay?" 

When Linyang nodded her head, Yumi smiled and added, "Don't cry anymore, we don't want our maid of honor to have big swollen puffy eyes during the wedding." 

….

Living room.

Placing her hand on her ċhėst, Ming gasped, "Oh God, that place really sounds very dangerous honey and you shouldn't stay there." Turning towards Singtan, Meili asked, "Right Singtan?" 

"Absolutely honey, whatever you say," he answered.

"Mom, I brought Jen here to stay with us until the wedding," Yushen informed.

"Well of course, where else will she stay if not with us? Now why don't you show her the room and then both of you come down for dinner." 

"Aunty—" Grabbing Ming's hand, Jeniffer smiled, "Thank you so much for letting me stay, I am really very grateful." 

Patting her head, Ming smiled, "You don't have to thank me, families help each other and there is nothing wrong in staying with us even after the wedding is over. After Yumi moves out and even Elsa is moving out, this house will really be very empty—"

Cutting her off, Singtan snapped, "Honey, you are forgetting about the entire dealing I have with Zixin, Yumi isn't moving out completely she—"

"I know about your so-called dealings Singtan and I am still against it," Ming retorted.

"Alright, this is gonna take a while so let me show you the room first," Yushen whispered before guiding Jennifer towards his room.

….

Yushen's room.

"But how can I stay in your room Yushen?" 

Shrugging his shoulders, he inquired, "Why not? My room is big and comfortable so you stay here and I'll crash on the guest room." 

"This isn't right, how can I kick you out of your own room like this?" 

Cupping her face, Yushen explained, "Listen to me Jennifer, I know you are still very reluctant over this what is mine if yours thing but trust me, whatever that is mine is a hundred percent yours too. And there is no doubt about that." 

"But why do you have to sleep in the guest room? I mean, the bed is—" stopping midway, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and added, "The bed is big enough to fit two people." 

"Of course it is—" Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her close and smiled, "The bed is big and strong enough for two people to...you know what I mean right?" 

Hooking her arms around his neck, she chuckled, "Hmm that sounds fun." 

"I am sure that it is." 

Running her fingers through his hair, she whispered, "So why don't you sneak into the room after everyone falls asleep?" 

"Mysterious and realistic, I like it." 

Pushing him away, she chuckled, "Now let's go down, I am famished." 

Hospital.

"Nathan I am safe now, you don't have to worry anymore," Adriana tried to console her husband who had completely lost his cool after the accident.

"I shouldn't have brought you here but I didn't want to leave you alone too so—"

Cupping his face, she explained, "Hey, it's not your fault, it was an accident so stop blaming yourself for it. It could have happened to anyone anywhere and we can do nothing to control it." 

"Sister-in-law is right brother, it wasn't your fault," Walking inside the room, Gavin added, "Stop stressing over it." 

Narrowing his eyes, Nathan fumed, "What the hell are you doing here?" 

Tightening her grip around his hand, Adriana slowly shook her head, gesturing him not to say anything. 

"I just dropped by to check on Adriana and the baby, which reminds me, why didn't you both tell me about the new soon to be member?" Looking at her belly, Gavin smirked, "I should really start preparing a gift for my niece or nephew." 

"There is no need for you to prepare anything and step out for a bit, I need to talk to you," Nathan snapped.

Kissing her forehead, Nathan said, "I'll be back in a minute okay? Just take rest for a while." 

When she smiled and nodded her head, he balled his hand into a fist and stepped out of the room to have a chat with his so-called brother.

….

Outside the room.

"Ahh so a baby huh? I wonder why you should keep this away from me," Gavin chuckled.

Gritting his teeth, Nathan yelled, "Don't even think of harming my family Gavin, I'll kill you if you even try to touch them." 

"What are you talking about brother? Why will I ever harm my own family? But the fact that you kept Adriana's pregnancy away from me makes me wonder why would you do that?" Pausing for a while, Gavin added, "Now I wanna know what is so special about that baby."
